    Well...

    I usually lined it up after. Just be careful not to cut into the braid. I would put a du-rag over the braids to lay down anything not able to get gripped intothe braids yet. Any other hair besides that, I lined up.

    when I grow my hair out for braids, & about to get it braided so i take my clippers and cut the edges of my hair line (NOT THE BRAIDS LOL) a lil shorterand then get it braided, then shaped it up.

    But don't O.D. with the taper and cut it 3 inches back [​IMG]

    Sometimes I used to get a line up before I got braided.

    This dude is the prototype for how clean parts and a fresh lineup should look like. It's not fair really. [​IMG]

    After cuz if you do it before you run the risk of having a crooked line because of the hair pulled back and the design u do......

    Same here. Got that good !*%@...[​IMG]

    When I cut my hair, I first had the light patch. It was towards the back of my neck where the braids would end and get gripped so that my braid wasn'tdangling from the middle of the back of my head. [​IMG] It's good though. Cop that Vitamin E - Hair Food.
