Reader Question: Braids, Weaves, Dreadlocks

This post is to address questions about braids, weaves and dreadlocks.

Mane and Chic doesn't cover these topics. Why? Braids, weaves and dreadlocks are all 3 different niches that deserve their own platforms. Mane and Chic is focused on transitioning and caring for your hair without using any of those techniques. That being said, there are a few things you need to know about braids and weaves: don't get them put in too tight, don't leave braids or weaves in longer than one or two months, braids should be at least pencil size and take care of your hair underneath. I suggest visiting Grow Afro Hair Long, a very informative site about growing hair with braids and weaves. I don't know of any blogs for women with dreadlocks, but I'm sure there are some great ones out there. If you know of any please leave links in the comments.

  1. I know about 2 blogs cater to dreads, maybe you should collaborate with them :-). There's:
    Karen from http://naturalhairbeauty.blogspot.com/
    & Franchesca from
    http://blog.franchesca.net/

    They both talk a bit about everything under the sun for naturals
