Back to Basics: Braid Care and Maintenance

Written by Marquetta Breslin

What you don’t know about braid care and maintenance can hurt you. In fact, I recall a time when I was nearly in tears because I made some common mistakes in regard to caring for my braids.

Maybe you can relate to it, as well.

Would You Let TSA Check Your Fro?

Written by Marquetta Breslin

I was doing some searching around the net the other day and ran across this interesting story.

Isis Brantley, a Dallas hairstylist spoke of being chased down by TSA at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport so they could check her Afro for weapons. Brantley has been growing her hair out since age 12.

Because she was so thin in the top area I would leave that long and add some tracks using my Net Weave sew-in method. She kept asking me if we could do anything to help grow it back. I continued to do deep conditioning treatments and it was helping, but not enough.

Then, I thought back to December when I had that major accident with my hair being ripped out.  What did I do? How did I get my hair to start growing back? I used a phenomenal product called Nioxin, a 10 time Behind The Chair Stylist Choice
