  • Wow, pulling electrodes off your head pulls hair from your chest? That must be some comb-over you're sporting! :-)

    It does, it does! I don't get haircuts anymore, the barber pulls hard on my chest hairs and it pulls the hair on my head back in. Much better system. :-P

I have acrylic ' date=' but they said light polish. I have on French tips. My lady liked that my hair was in a pony tail. It was easier to reach the scalp. Heck, braids should be a blessing! You just gotta wash and wash to get the goo out.....[/quote']

Oh ok i don't mind getting a clear polish and they not long so hope to be fine bc i draw the line with my nails i didn't see.that in my packet but all u guys are saying it :( right now i have red polish but ill get it changed before next week

Ok ima do that tomorrow

As long as they can get to your scalp, it won't be a problem. They probably said no weave because they have had some patients that may have had a weave cap on or maybe the braids were too close together for them to reach the scalp.

Ugh....see im trying to think what would be easier keeping the braids in or letting them get to my coarse thick hair bc i i tale these braids out u won't seey scalp and it'll be hard to get too :( wellp we shall see

Its really not that big of a deal, with or without braids. Ive done sleep studies for over 7 yrs and had every hair type imagineable. Its not glue we use to keep electrodes on, its just paste and best way to get it out of your hair is use the warmest Water you can handle then shampoo, dont shampoo first.
