      I love braids, because for me they're pretty low maintenance.
      I started braiding my own hair about 8 years ago. It's time very consuming and almost every time I want new braids, I consider paying someone to do it. Then I remember how much people are charging now and how much I'll save by doing it myself.
      In the last 8 years, I've paid to have my hair done 4 times and spent just over £300 in total.
      Although still expensive these days, I think UK braiders charge much less than US braiders. The last time was a year ago, I paid around £100 for waist length knotless, thats the most I've ever paid for 1 install.

    @marztitus3472 4 місяці тому +4

    I can’t stand how they don’t braid the braids all the way down though. And also some braids are braided differently from others because there’s 2 different people braiding with 2 different braiding styles. Last time I allowed them to do my hair I had scabs in my head from one of them pulling my real hair too tight. It’s a no for me.

      They don’t care. I worked in an African shop and all the clients would say something. The owner would say “braids are supposed to hurt” then continue to pull. You ask them to leave the edges they don’t. It was a good experience as someone wanting to step up my technique but was the worst experience as far as a work environment and I’ve worked in a restaurant and daycare center. Is still do hair but never worked in another shop and won’t unless it’s my own.

    • @MorenaRose86
      @MorenaRose86 4 місяці тому +6

      The only way to relieve tension is to not braid tight which leads to balding and alopecia. Witch hazel won't loosen tight braids and it will also irritate the scalp.
