Need some suggestions ladies (Weave question)

If any of you have had Tree braids before...what's a good hair to use for them?

I always like using Human hair but the girl that braid my hair says that synthetic is better for tree braids.

If you can please share any good web sites to purchase hair from...I got Hair Sisters already.

Good morning Trina,

It's funny you mentioned Tree braids.  I am getting them done too for the first time.  Have you had them before?  How long did they last?

Also, I am planning on using Milky Way Water Wave or French Wave 18" inches.

Let me know what kind you end up getting I am curious.

Thanks.

Never had them before...this will be my first time getting them too. I'll keep you posted and you do the same.

 What are tree braids?

I had never heard of that before either, but now i'm going to have to see if anyone in my area does them.

Just got them -- love them.  I used human hair that I purchased in a store after lots of research: Encore New Deep Bulk 18".  The next time I will go with14".  The 18 was too long for me.  Because they were put in by a braider vs. a hair stylist, I ended up going to a a salon to get  a couple of layers cut in.  I love it!

Hey Frenchie, if you don't mind, can you post a picture of your tree braids?  Of I can forward you my email address.

Thanks.

okay.  I'll take a pic when I get home.

search batik on hair sisters.  It's the best synthetic hands down.

Ok, why am I on youtube looking at a tree braid instructional video, LOL?  I never knew how they were done.  Very interesting.  Here's the link:
