I have been wearing micros for about five years now. I get the best results when I go to the African Braiding Shop here. They do my whole head, braid to the end of my hair (which is a little bit past my shoulders) and style it for me when I'm done. They charge $180 for the straight hair micros including the hair. I don't think the curly hair looks good on me. But, the best part is, I'm done and out the door in four hours. That's not small feat because I have a big head and a lot of hair. I could get them done cheaper, but I'd rather pay a couple of extra bucks so that I can have my whole day ahead of me.
I have only had my hair braided in micros outside of the African shop twice and I was not happy with either. The braids were either too large to style or not put in tight enough so that they were grown out and ragged within a few days.
I used to wear different cornrow styles but I have stopped that. My sister does them really well and she'll do mine for free, but she grips my edges so tight that they break off. It's really not worth the trouble because the point of wearing the braids is to help my hair grow.
Next, I think that I am going to try pony hair micros. The hair is straight like human hair but it is synthetic. It comes already curled at the ends so you don't really have to do anything to it. Everyone who I have seen who's had pony hair micros has looked really good with it.
