The ones saying 3 months is long that's bc when y'all have protective styles you don't know how to manage or take care of it I be having my hair for 3 months and my hair still be looking fresh and smell good
Lorentell Williams I leave my braids up for exactly 30 days as a 15 year old I will never leave my hair o for longer than a month and my braids cost up to $150!!
I know there's going to be someone say oh you're wasting your money but personally I know my hair and it cannot last more than like a month personally I like to be as cleanly as possible so I would usually take them off to three weeks to a month but if you know that your hair could uphold that long then I would suggest a month-and-a-half but two months is max
I have been in box braids for nearly six months straight, (one week of no braids) and my hairbis loving it! I am DIY girl and a 4ab texture! Inwill be braided for as long as I want (no more than 2 years). I buzzed all bleached fun-colored hair off in mid-Dec 2017. I am now on my quest to grow out my luscious afro hair (low/med/high) to how ever long it wishes to grow! I even HENNA while box braided (YES HENNA) and my hairbis strong as EVER!!! Will remove no remove ALL braids no sooner than Sept 2019; but before, mid- Dec 2019!!!
I think it depends on the braids. When I get the large box braids I have to take them down after two months. No way I can keep them in longer. The smaller braids last longer
My curl pattern is 3c-4a with 4b at my crown (this was before I bleached my hair *sad face*). My strands are high porosity and thin, but medium coarseness (when it comes to density). My hair is bra-strap length. Braids done well would last me 3 months comfortably and it's not necessary to get my edges for hair health, only for looks. The maintenance I do on my braids is crazy though and not every scalp can handle it. I almost literally oil my scalp every night with a coconut oil, castor oil, tea tree oil mix... massaging very well. I literally get no build up because my scalp just drinks it up. I also sprayed my braids with moisturizing braid spray almost every night. Doing this keeps my braids looking very separated and sleek... and my scalp and new growth looks/feels amazing! I wash my braids every 2 weeks with a gentle cleanser (I prefer to mix a bit of tea tree oil in)... I think this frequent washing caused some of my braids in the back to slip because they are typically waist length. I'd recommend trying to wash only the scalp if possible and keeping the water from running down the braids. I would need to keep my braids done for at least 2 months to feel good about my wallet lol.
Is there a certain type of hair you recommend? For having braids last? I’ve always used Kankelon because of the texture. I like the braids to last but also to look like natural hair... not too shiny or thin.
I do my own braids and with the cost of hair it only costs me about $15. I make my own oils and moisturizers but I can only keep them in for 1 month 1.5 if Its a busy semester, my scalp doesn't allow any longer and my hair locks after the third wash. How can I make them last longer while avoiding having dreads lol
Four to five weeks and im done it wll knot on me and i will be bald due to chopping my hair up it gets lent and grow so fast. I wish i could leave it in for at least 2 months.
Literally two weeks... That's how long I kept mine in for.. Maybe the stylist didn't braid my hair well, but after a week, my natural hair was coming out of the braid.. n the braids were getting shaggy...
I’m scared to get braids cuz I realize it cost ALOT of money and I used to dye my hair a lot and I spent like 400+ and only lasted for 1 Month and had to cut it ALL off and I don’t want to waste anymore money😂 but at the same time I want the braids b/c ppl makes fun of me at school just b/c I have short hair 🥺
I have had my braids in for three months now. They still smell fresh and my roots are clean. The only issue is my edges are starting to pull and during this lock down I cannot get a touch up. Should I take it down ?
I have 12 jumbo braids in that i did a month ago, ngl 😂 after 2 weeks my ass wanted to take em out cuz it irritates me that i didnt get as close to the root as i wanted on some of em (overcoming the perfectionist in me) but i got used to it, dont wanna be wasteful and even the other day my mom said they look good enough to keep in longer and didnt see how i wanted to take em out :) so imma do one more week.. (5 total) and since it was my first time doin these - i have a feeling next time i can get even closer/tighter w it, & therefore leave em in for 7 or 8 ! I got a lotta compliments in em too so lemme stop ✋🏻 stressin 😂
I got box braids with extensions and it only lasted for like 3 weeks. I dont know what i did wrong, but after the 3 weeks mr braids were almost already gone. I got burned edges and as said extensions how can i make it stay for longer?
I have small box braids in for 2 months now first time ever getting them have sum new growth but my braids still look good and smell fresh too should i take them down now?? Dont really want to lol
Thank you so much I just got mine done for the first time a week ago . *What do u use as far as oils to maintain the braids better ? * how often do u wash ur hair and what should u use as far as shampoo? * do u towel dry or let them dry Naturally? * how do u keep the braids smelling good? * what should u apply before putting ur hair in the silk cap at night ? Sorry for the million questions but iam definitely a newbie 😊
*What do u use as far as oils to maintain the braids better ? I use jojoba oil. * how often do u wash ur hair and what should u use as far as shampoo? I wash my hair every 1.5- 2weeks I usually go to the solon and get a silk press * do u towel dry or let them dry Naturally? I get my hair pressed and towel dry. * how do u keep the braids smelling good? I was my hair in braids and let it air dry. * what should u apply before putting ur hair in the silk cap at night ? honestly it depends on what style you have. Weave/ lace frontal, braides- nothing natural hair- growth oils etc.
Друзья мои, мы с удовольствием посмотрели ваше видео))) Нам все очень понравилось))) Желаем вам быстрого и удачного развития на ютубе)) А так же приглашаем вас в гости )) ВСЕМ ВЗАИМНАЯ ПОДПИСКА
We love this! We have subscribed and we would love it if you would do the same. We are looking forward to your next videos and we hope you are having a marvellous day! Lots of love, Amie&Amy xo.💘
I love the tone of your voice it is so soothing :)
I don't know what kind of hair I have, but I'll end up with a matted mess in 3-4 months. One month and a half is the longest I can keep my braids in.
same i get an insanely itchy scalp if i don't wash and when i do wash with braids in its a matted mess from hell.
1 month max for me. Longer than that my hair will turned into dreadlocks and what about the smell?
I can only keep mine for like 3-4 weeks
As someone who has it for 2 months. I wash and bath with a bit of apple vinegar and regular hair soap. It is super easy and i love them ❤
I think 3-4 months is too long.
It depends on your hair, who does it for, what style and the up keep too.
TerryKae'....i agree
I agree I keep my braids in 2 months a a few weeks
TerryKae' Agreed. 🙏
Agreed
The ones saying 3 months is long that's bc when y'all have protective styles you don't know how to manage or take care of it I be having my hair for 3 months and my hair still be looking fresh and smell good
Jakera Jakera exactly... if people look up how to really properly take care of their braids it could last a while without any negative effects
@@Itzz_Tikki plus depending on a price$100 and over isn't worth taking it out the next week of getting a new style
Me too. I pay too much to leave this in only a month
Lorentell Williams I leave my braids up for exactly 30 days as a 15 year old I will never leave my hair o for longer than a month and my braids cost up to $150!!
JenJen Non.Basicc Smart! ☀️
I wished that my braids would last at lest 2 months. But after a month, it looks like I had my them in for longer than I had.
2BOLD4U same
Same
Same and i be over it . I leave my for like 2 -3 weeks ngl
Oh god I try to go 3 months but two is the max for me.
I've done 3 months before and my hair grew massively however now I tend to keep it for 2 months
I'm 1 month and 2 weeks now but I'm praying I can keep it for 3 months
I know there's going to be someone say oh you're wasting your money but personally I know my hair and it cannot last more than like a month personally I like to be as cleanly as possible so I would usually take them off to three weeks to a month but if you know that your hair could uphold that long then I would suggest a month-and-a-half but two months is max
1 to 6 months is ok as long as you keep your hair wash and add oil and touch them up
The front row of mines has already grown out n the middle it's only been 3 weeks n I'm ready for it to be out
I can only have mines in for 2.5 months. New growth in 6 weeks.
Ive only had mine for almost three weeks and im already tired of them
Cool Cucumber 😆 I get it.
REALEST ETHIOPIAN you and I both 😫
Me too
Omg me too I want to get my money worth but it’s been one month 😂😂😂😂 I like seeing the growth but man I’m tired lol
2 is the max for me cuz my natural hair will curl around & dread. lol
I have been in box braids for nearly six months straight, (one week of no braids) and my hairbis loving it! I am DIY girl and a 4ab texture!

How is it going?
I think it depends on the braids. When I get the large box braids I have to take them down after two months. No way I can keep them in longer. The smaller braids last longer
I keep them for 1 month because it gets sandy from all the build up
My hair grows exactly fast and since my mom uses rice water in my braids it last for like 3 weeks
does rice water actually work?
@@gracenachos5413 for me it did i use rice water like one or twice a year now since i have low porosity
I can't even keep mines for 3 weeks 3 months is crazy
Did she say 3 Months?!!
yes
if it is done right
Isn't it too long
My first micro braids took out my edges and I am now beginning to see growth after years of trying to regrow them

Amanda Strong yes you definitely have the right idea.

Amanda Strong the express hair

How Much Would You Charge For Your Oil & Moisturizer? If I Wanted Some?🤷
I have a hard time keeping them for 1 month, and I always get mad at myself cause I know I've Wasted my money 🙄
lol me too.
Four to five weeks and im done it wll knot on me and i will be bald due to chopping my hair up it gets lent and grow so fast. I wish i could leave it in for at least 2 months.
one girl in my school let them in for 6 to 7 months
OMGodness
Literally two weeks... That's how long I kept mine in for.. Maybe the stylist didn't braid my hair well, but after a week, my natural hair was coming out of the braid.. n the braids were getting shaggy...
Donica B. Wow that’s bad did you go back and tell the stylist?
Donica B. Two weeks? You spent $200 + dollars and the hair didn’t last. The braider did not know what they were doing.
If I hold my braids for 2 months in would it grow
I’m scared to get braids cuz I realize it cost ALOT of money and I used to dye my hair a lot and I spent like 400+ and only lasted for 1 Month and had to cut it ALL off and I don’t want to waste anymore money😂 but at the same time I want the braids b/c ppl makes fun of me at school just b/c I have short hair 🥺
You can do them yourself
What about straight//wavy hair? How long can I keep them in??
Same time frame if it is well taken care of.
Priscilla Yapi thank you ❤
i found someone who can make them for 20$ so i keep them 3 weeks and go redo them
I wish I could keep them in that long
I always keep it in for 6 weeks
Amazing!! keep up the hard work girl💝💝
Never keep them in any more than 3 months that causes a lot of breakage
wow i was thinking weeks not months!
I have had my braids in for three months now. They still smell fresh and my roots are clean. The only issue is my edges are starting to pull and during this lock down I cannot get a touch up. Should I take it down ?
Yes

Thanks for sharing!💕
What is a touch up?
When you redo the front of your hair.
what if my hair in the 3 category, how long can my braids stay in?
3-4 months
I have short natural hair how long should I keep my braids in
Larry Jones lol I’m the same way 🤣

Redoing the first row of braids, be it the front, the back, or both.
I just did a big chop is it okay or healthy to keep braids for 2-3 months?
Yes 3 months max

How long does twist braids last in your hair???
Lea Thomas me personally it lasts 2 and a half months.
Hmmm. Not sure about 3 - 4 months. The longer the braids are kept the more hair damage.
Thank you so much I just got mine done for the first time a week ago .
