Treebraids are on fire like never before. The quandry is which is better to use- curly or straight hair?

Visit http://www.upalmit.com/treebraids1.html for beautiful treebraids, both curly and straight.

It takes a Master Braider to perform treebraid miracles with straight hair that additionally does not show the cornrows.  It's easier to treebraid with curly hair than it is to treebraid with straight hair.  Ask your stylist if she or he knows how.  Why curly hair vs. straight?  Curls hide the cornrows.  Or, for individual treebraids, the actual braid.  This is especially the case if your client has very long, thick, coarse, or virgin hair.   Most stylists refuse to, or do not know how to treebraid with curly or straight hair if the client has this preceding type of hair because it requires being creative to install individual treebraids.  Most importantly, it eats into booking time- they need to boot you out of your seat quickly to take on another client to make their money.  For this reason, independent stylists are becoming more and more sought after by clients who do not wish to be rushed or bilked.

Although cornrowed treebraids offer a 'get up and go' alternative, many clients prefer individual treebraids, which can be described as microbraids, or box braids with branches.  There are more daily styling options, and much more freedom maintenance-wise.  For example, individual treebraids offer more options for washing the hair, and generally lasts longer, approximately 2 months longer.
