When we think about micro braid styles we generally think of them a style preferred by African-American women. It is true that many African-American women do like wearing micro braids styles because African-American hair can be hard to style and micro braids enable styling with intricacy and elegance. But, anyone can wear micro braids and look good in them. From kids to grandmas, micro braids are an attractive hair style alternative for those who wish to have an intricate style.
Micro braids are not only a hairstyle but they are a commitment. Some micro braid wearers opt for only a portion of the hairs being braided. Generally these braid wearers intend to only wear the braids for a short length of time. However, those who go for the entire head being micro braided intend to wear their style for a good length of time. To properly micro braid a full head of hair takes a good 6-8 hours and the style can last for months. So, before committing to a micro braid style you must decide if the expense, the time spent braiding and the length of time you will be wearing the hair do are what you really want.

Is your hair healthy? Only the healthiest hair can withstand micro braiding. Brittle hair should not be micro braided since it will most likely break over time resulting in severely damaged hair when the braids are removed. Before having your hair micro braided, either have a professional hot oil treatment or do it at home. Your hair needs to be as moisture laden as possible for the micro braiding process. Deep condition your hair numerous times before micro braiding. Just previous to having your hair braided, either have a complete haircut or at the very least, have the ends trimmed to eliminate split ends.
Moisturize your micro braids with light hair oil, just enough that the hair does not feel dry. Don’t let yourself become dehydrated since it would have a detrimental effect on your hair. When wearing micro braid styles it is very important to drink ample amounts of water daily.
Anyone can wear micro braid styles. But be aware that they do take some extra effort to keep the hair healthy and beautiful.
