I am very sorry you were ripped off. I agree with another poster that you can ask someone who does their child's hair. Most people who braid hair can show you how, but just remember practice makes perfect. You will not have the perfect "do" on the first try. Also, if you find someone who can braid from their home or your home (if you trust them enough) you shouldn't pay more than 15 to 30 dollars and it will last about four weeks or until it starts looking bad.
Also I did not have my hair straightened until i was in middle school. So do be in a rush to get that done too quick.
You may want to try experimenting with twists type braids. This is where you take two pieces of hair instead of three and entwine them. It is much less stress on the hair.
Good luck.
