Why wear microbraids for months?

i wore microbraids for two months, because its the ease of not having to deal wit combing hair everyday. by having braid in your hair your not picking at your hair or scalp and that allows the hair to grow. i had a massive amount of new growth within that time... none of my hair came out after the braids were taken out. some ppl dont know how to take care of their hair while wearing braids and they blame the braids for taking their hair out and some ppl hair arent made for braids like ppl with sensitive scalps, or continuously pulling on the braids.

Why wear microbraids for months?

I live in California where it rains all winter.

I sometimes wear microbraids in the winter because I don't put chemicals in my hair, and the rain and humidity causes it to get those tight curls and make it hard to manage.

Not to mention. When I take my hair down, it has grown a couple of inches.

That's why I wear braids sometimes, but to each his/her own.
