I went a year of only wearing braids... I have had every type of micro, box, cornrows, sideways, and zig zag braid there is. My very favorite was cornrows braided up into a pony tail (w/ my natural loose). The design was done with very very tiny cornrows and was very intricate and neat. I got so many compliments on it. As far as dry scalp....I would sacrifice a silk scarf, towel , and pillow case. I would put my micros in a ponytail, take baby oil and almost saturate my head with it ( once a week), then tie it up with the scarf and go to sleep. In the morning my scalp would have been thoroughly moisturized, the oil would have dried up and my braids would look wonderful. Sounds a bit messy and can be...but it works wonders. I have also found that Dark and Lovely braid spray works, as well as Dark and Lovely's honey kissed hair dress. I usually paid anywhere from $80-$200 for my braids and only because my hair was really thick and it would take them longer than usual.
*thanks for the correction*
