Braiding Relaxed Hair?

I have had chemically relaxed hair for quite a number of years now and it has gotten quite long (16 inches measuring from the top of my head to the ends) and I am considering having it braided or dreadlocked for a different look. Should I have it done? What I am concerned about is my hair breaking and falling out. Also, can I switch back to my relaxed hair if I don't want to wear it in braids any longer, and would there be any problems with this? Please respond! Thanks.

It would be very difficult to lock relaxed hair. You may not be able to do that. As for braids, you need to keep your hair healthy to avoid breakage. Your best option is to seek professional advice so you can keep your length and go to a different style. Good luck and God bless!

i wouldnt recommend dreadlocks because it will totally mess up your hair. But braids would be fine, I've had them before and once you take them down and wash your hair and stuff your hair will go back to normal. The only thing with braids is that it causes most people's hair to fall out [dont worry not too much] This happened to me, but it's nothing drastic, just a few strands here and there nothing you can notice.
