    Another tip for before installation is to wash the braiding hair to avoid the chemicals they treat it with from irritating your scalp

    I love the fact that you are all about no nonsense and get straight to the topic of the video. Because most UA-camrs dance, sing, talk too much about themselves or about random topics as if I clicked on their video for that crap. And I always unsubscribe to them all. You are a breath of freshness! I love your professionalism and spirit.

    I’m not sure if you are still commenting on this video. It’s almost 6 years old. But here goes...
    I big chopped in May of 2018 and wasn’t happy with my growth. So in June I had box braids installed which was awful. Too tight/the braids were too big & the hair was too heavy. I had pain for weeks. I know, I know, I should have taken them out!!
    September I found out about crochet braids and haven’t looked back. I had them installed in September and October and decided to learn how to do them myself. My first attempt was actually not bad at all.
    My question for you is.. what are your thoughts on crochet braids? Are they healthy for the hair seeing that a metal hook is being used? What about the hair being installed on the actual hair? I’d love any input because it occurred to me that this protective style may not be so protective after all! Thanks so much! I love your videos!!

I normally do protein treatment with DC but since watching your vids I have learnt alot. Also I want to say thank you because my hair has never felt so clean just washing my braids with shampoo I just let the shampoo sit on my hair for 3mins to remove buildup.Thank you for helping me to wash my braids properly. When take down my braids my hair would be full of life.

    I Thank You SOOOOO much this information you gave in this video and the real protein treatment,how braids should feel ,and what to look out for has saved my hair. My hair was breaking off so much after I had gotten my hair braided fro an African shop...Not saying all African shops is like this one but braids was to tight and seems like they were ripping out my hair while braiding this happen at the beginning of the year around Feb. since then I had to cut my hair short 2x ,but it was still breaking off. I was deep conditioning it wearing loose styles no heat everything still won't stop breaking off. BUT when I came across this video in late July I order the real protein treatment and WOW... I tell no lies it has changed my hair and growth it is now Oct and I have fallen back in love with my hair... adding the real protein treatment to my deep conditioners is amazing for my hair. I haven't had breakage, lots of hair growth, and my hair is thinker. I kept combing my hair because not to see hair in my comb for me is unusually. My hair is so healthy I am so amazed because I tried so many things and I didn't think this would work....BUT it does I thank you again for sharing this info it saved my hair

As I had to use the braids to grow my hair and shop the relaxed hair I have decided to leave my hair that way so it can grow without the braids, not to mention that I had to wash my hair with it and use oil in my scalp for the reason that I have itchy scalp.
