Braids!!!

I am so sick of these braids! As of now they are a month old but they look like they are 3 months old! The lady that did my braids I will NEVER go to again. I saw her work before I went to her and she said that she can braid short hair. Now my hair in the front was not short, but my hair in the back was shout due to my hair cut. So I trusted her and let her do my hair. Well 3 days after getting my braids done I had some braids in the back to come out!!! Now I use to get my braids done all the time before I went to college and I never had any problems with braids slipping out! Even after I washed them! Well she fixed those braids and I went on about my day. 2 days after that, I had some more braids to come out!!!! Now I am thinking WTF!!! So I call her and she says that she will fix them. So they get fixed. I was really mad by this time because it had only been a week and 5 braids had come out! Also she braided my hair really tight! It was so tight that after 2 weeks of having the braids parts of my scalp was still swollen and red! And my boyfriend can confirm that! So now it has been a month and she told me that it was safe to wash my hair now. I was using a dry shampoo before then. Well I put my hair in sections and sprayed my shampoo on my scalp. Well no braids came out in the shower so I am happy because before then they were slipping out all over the place and coming apart! I went on to dry my hair and like 15 braids came out from the front and top of my head!!! I again was like WTF!!! So I tried my best to fix the braids that came out and now I am just unhappy! I will never got to this lady again because she is not a skilled braider!! I am now in search of a GREAT braider in the Memphis,TN area. So if you know any please let me know! Also I am really afraid that my hair has breakage in some spots, especially around my hairline. What should I do to help grow my hairline back?

Hello! I have to get better at doing this blog thing! Well yesterday was a so so day! I was feeling a little down but then it came to me! I am so blessed! I have no reason to be down and out about anything! I have my health, family, friends, and a great life! GOD has something planned for me and it will only come when HE knows it is time. I just have to be patient and keep my faith strong! On my hair, I still have my braids in. I can't wait to take them out. I had a dream about my natural hair and it looked GREAT! Far better than my relaxed hair looked! I just can wait to see it without these braids! Oh well, I am going to try my best to blog here more often! I think I am going to love blogging! Have a blessed day!
