Fake hair or real hair for braids?

[Dannygirl]

I want fake hair because it can be burned at the tips and i can use mroe water on it (planning on deep condtionering it atleast twice amonth along with MTG and surging it daily but i hear it drys your hair out? so... should i go with real hair for braiding hair or not?since real hair wont dry out my hair?

I use both, depending on the style! For my cornrow updo, I used synthetic hair. For my last cornrows I used human wet-n-wavy hair.

I dont think the synthetic hair dried my hair out any more than usual. I made sure to continue moisturizing and co-washing as usual.

i think its the quailty of the fake hair because some of it is really smooth (harder to burn though) so i think im gonna go with the fake stuff its cheaper and i have a feeling ill be able to do more stuff with it..

Hhaha my moms been screaming i need put some hair on my head..
plus i have my hairs all up in my hair and that aint gonna go grow nothing

I'm not an expert on this,
but kanekalon synthetic hair is supposed to dry out your hair a lot less than cheaper synthetic hair.

When I 'transitioned' I used nothing by Kanekalon - and I had no complaints (besides letting them trash my hairline - but that was before I was hair-aware) and considering how I didn't take care of my hair all that well THEN - Kanekalon is definitely what I would use now.
I just get - squicky - over the thought of someone ELSES hair in my head.

I think it depends on whether you are braiding the hair all the way to the ends or leaving some of the hair unraveled. For that half braided, half wavy look, I think human hair is better because synthetic hair would poof up when it gets wet.

I prefer synethetic when the ends are sealed.

I am no hair expert, but from my 3 year experience while living in Hawaii, and my first pregancy I used Kanekalon braid hair .99 cents a pack. I just co-wash every 3 days and when I did my reg wash I did a deep condish. My hair grew from an inverted bob from chin length up to about below shoulder length when I got to the states again...
