        To braid or not to

        braid, that is the 

        question!

   

    

Most African American women know that when push comes to shove that they have the option to braid their hair.  Choosing this option will save them time and, in some cases, frustration from numerous imperfect hair days. 

The bad hair days she faces: 

• Natural curls- tends to shrink mid-day, resulting in an unflattering length
• A blowout- prone to curl up in moist weather 
• A straightener- liable to frizz up in adverse weather conditions
• A weave- can be very expensive requiring high upkeep

 Hence, braids have become the practical option!
