I People Feel That Braids c Improve Your Appearance BvTeresa Burns Pit SUff Writer Soma people feel that braid* ran improve any one’s <>pearance. Then there re others who feel that tit braid look is sim ply tie pickinny look. Whatwer direction you lean award, the fact re main that the two major Mk^yles are cut-blow dry and raids. Oik Johnson C. Smith senir, Marla Davis, de cide! on the braided look. "Ya don’t have to spend tiimat night rolling,” Ms. Daks said about the brails. “It’s easy to wash ant in the morning I just tale the scarf off and I St take time styling it.’* ill braids change your ’ For Ms. Davis they dfl. “People stare at me at tie malls. They ask me vhere did I get it done, |dw long did it take, can I rash it," she began. “Wo nen usually ask about the {rooming; men just com pliment.” oijruai iui ivia. udvia wda Loretta Johnson, a beau tician at Tena's House of Charm on Beatties Ford Rd. According to Ms. John son, a braider doesn’t need a license. “You don’t need a license to braid,” f Ms. Johnson said, “because there are no (fhemicals involved, but you do have to be licensed to wash the person’s hair." Braids can be kept from four to six months depend ing on how* (ast your hair grows, Ms. Johnson com mented. A person’s hair can grow from one fourth to. one half an inch in a month if the technique has been executed properly. ‘‘It’s not really the pro duct of braids that makes your hair healthier,” Ms. Johnson remarked,” but who dofs it and how you take care of your hair.” Some people are being ripped off, according to Ms. Johnson, because the braidqrs don’t know what they are doing. MARLA DAVIS ...With new braided look "The braids must be tight,” Ms. Johnson ex plained. "If they are not, then you know you aren’t getting your money’s worth.” The only disadvantage of braids may be related to this tightness, but it’s only temporary. “Since I had my hair braided for months - when I did comb it out I was tender headed,” Ms. Johnson noted. But in the same respect this time also gives your hair a good res from pulling, combing, an heat, she said. The authentic braidin techniques of Ms. Johnso were learned in a clas conducted by three tour in braiding experts from th North. She was the onl; Charlotte beautician in th course she said. And sine that time she has com pleted 25 styles, includini two white women. “If you can braid, th white women’s hair won’ Irwin Schedules Mini-Courses irwin Avenue Elemen tary School, located down town at 329 North Irwin Avenue, is giving its stu dents a choice of over 50 mini-courses beginning this week.

But it can be done,” she stated. Completion and cost of a braided style depends on the style, type of hair, and whether or not the customer receives exten sions. (Extensions are extra hair braided onto original hair.) Ms. Johnson charges a minimum of $55. As far as caring for braided hair, the process is not difficult according to Ms. 'Johnson. "You can shampoo with braids and beads and use only con ditioner,” she began. "You never hold you head over in the sink - you’ll tangle the * braids and beads. Always keep your head back, wet it real good and use a tooth brush between the parts. If there are no parts, let the water rinse through it good.” Braids and scalp can also be lubricated with grease or baby oil with Q tips.
