the best thing to do with your hair if you want it to grow longer is learn to braid the extensions in your hair yourself... once you are able to braid your own hair (which will most likley be NOT tight) your hair will grow... the ends of your hair is whats braking... and especially if you have kinky hair... if you perm it your hair is going to need EXTRA moisture... and LESS manipulation inorder for it to grow... here are a few sites that talk about that kinda stuff... it will help you more with your decision... whichever you choose (my mom is black, and shes a hair dresser so i know this stuff!)

Depending on how long you have had them in your hair you should go natural for several weeks. The hair has been pulled and tangled for sometime and needs time to relax, so do not get a perm immeditately or that will cause further damage. Use a good conditioner, (I prefer Motions) one that you leave on for atleast an hour under a plastic cap to allow the hair to really benefit from the treatment.
i am a stylist from va.. i suggest you take a break from micros, be careful about relaxing, and going natural is an option. when you first take the micros out, shampoos and do a deep conditioning recovery treatment. come hair out completely because there will be some hair loss because the natural shedding process was eliminated when the braids are in.. so it will come out once you take them out.. but don't worry this is natural...what ever you decide, get it done professionally... you can get a relaxer if you want, just make sure you trim your ends and really know when you had your last relaxer... good luck
I just took my micros out 2 weeks ago and my stylist permed me right away. No burning and no excessive hair loss. I was fine. Just remember, you lose 80 to 100 strands of hair per day so just multiply that by the number of days that you hair has been braided. Go for the perm you'll be fine!
