@@bluehorizons8913nope, they do hair like it’s supposed to be. Y’all forgot braids aren’t meant to be cosmetic, they serve a purpose to protect your hair. So when people braid and don’t add the baby hairs it defeats the whole purpose.
I’ve been doing hair for years and everyone complains that my hands are too soft and too gentle. It’s because I care about hair health over having your edges snatched. I stopped because most people celebrate and want hair damage. I don’t want no parts in it.
One time when I got my braids done my scalp was red, burning and swollen. For 2 days!!! I also had a bad headache. My mom told me it was because I was tenderheaded. Umm no. The hairstylist was rough and snatched my edges so tight. I couldn't move my forehead and my eyes were pulled back so tight I looked like a different ethnicity. From a young age Black women are taught that "beauty is pain" and "your just tenderheaded". Pain is normalized and are taught to just deal with it. We need to stop teaching our daughters these harmful things. Braids should not hurt.
Baby look. I be scared to get my hair retwisted because the two people that do my hair are heavy handed. Even when they try to be soft, it's still heavy.
My main braider braids tight but i just tell her to leave out my edges. I also keep an undercut to avoid any issues. Even low ponytails pull those babies out.
I'm so happy to see that there are many ladies out there who also prefer to do their own hair. Even when I'm tired, I prefer to do two braids and stay with it than allow someone else do my hair.
This after taking my second set of box braids out two days ago and I ended up losing my hair in the front because she put a braid on hair that was too thin to support it. 🥴 Fortunately for me, my hair is broken off in so many places, that'll just be one out of the group.
Damn that really sucks!! I had a similar experience with too damn tight braids! I didn’t leave them in for 6 weeks tho! I took em out maybe that same week of getting it done. The money is never worth the pain.
I got my hair braided as a kid and told my mom my braids were too tight. She didn't believe me until she got hers done from the same person. She had bumps on her scalp ,and had to take Tylenol for the pain.
I can totally relate. I am very particular when getting my hair braided. Braiders tend to braid tightly. I tell them not to braid my baby hair. They will have you out here bald. The ladies I go to have no edges. I want mine.
I don’t have baby hairs they all fit into my hairstyles and I don’t feel the need to cut perfectly good hair to have them. Maybe it’s a blessing to never have to worry about edges being gone or lifting. 😅
Girl same! I let a then coworker do my hair 8 years ago and edges haven't been the same since. No has one touched my head since, including my mama. If my hair gets damaged it's gonna be bc I did it, not somebody else where I'm gonna want to throw hands.
That happened to me too! I went to a braiding shop and had a style with cornrows in the front and a sew-in in the back. It was so tight my scalp was folded. My left side edges never grew back😩
This is the main reason I do my own hair as well. Praise the lord my mother taught me and my sister at a young age. I have been braiding since I was about 8yrs or 9yrs old.
@@Academiacaramelcurlz you can go to a salon and ask them to part for you. It may cost about ten or fifteen dollars. I'm not sure. I've heard of other people say that they went to salons for parting, then did their own style.
i started cause the salonist would section a huge section of the box braids to a small section of my natural hair. it was quite heavy for my hair to handle so i decided to do my own hair. and now i have microlocs. they were installed as twists but i am the one who has been maintaining them for close to two years. i dont think i can trust anyone else with my hair
Exactly what happened to my edges from getting lemonade braids, they were extremely tight and my baby hairs are just like yours, they use to be full but I learner how to care for and do my own hair!
I love got2b even more now that you’ve familiarized me with its versatility. Your hair looks amazing, the dimensions of the braids are fabulous. I don’t think anyone is going to believe this comment, but in my opinion, and I’m being serious, I mean whatever, she looks great and like she knows what she’s doing.
Yes suh… I’m going back to doing my own hair too!!! It’s just nice to have others do it sometimes… I literally just shaved it off last year to start over but have been in “protective” styling the last 6mos smh. My edges were doing great until i got some lemonades then Senegalese twists! The lemonades only thinned out an area that had major damage that was finally growing back but these dam twists!!! That lil twist method they use to start them is super cute but these have pulled out more of my edges than any knotted box braids or micros EVER did!! I’m done. Going back to leave out parts. The occasional closure wig. And corn rows with the “adult baby hairs”. I know I’m going to cry when i take these out… I’ve already took over it that was hanging on by a thread! 🤦🏾♀️
I had that happen to me... I normally do my own hair, but I was being lazy. I let this African lady do my hair; she took all my edges out, after I asked her not to braid my edges tho...
I really like her because she is helping so many black women to toss the wigs and weaves and grow healthy natural hair. Our hair is so freaking beautiful and I want to see more of it. Like how it was in the 70s Even though I wasn’t alive back then lol
Similar thing happened to me my mom took me to a hair stylist and she did cornrows on me and she pulled it so tight that the hair in the back of my head it wasn't gone but it became so short because she pulled it so tight .
The same thing happened to me from ear to ear 😂. An oil concoction did the trick and I was back normal in a month. I do not allow anyone to mess with them now!
I have 13 yr old twin grand babies an am fascinated with black coiffure. Trying to get them to watch you because you do such a great job. Thanks for posting!!!😊
Wow 2 weeks like that sounds wild 😭 I could barely manage day 1 of the pain. I stopped getting my hair done by people because I hated sitting in a chair for hours only to go home tired and unable to sleep well from pain
I feel like this is one of those things where it's like if it's too painful to sleep and it doesn't go away within a day or so take them out you're going to lose your hair you're going to end up with scalping follicle damage like it's long process and you paid money for it maybe but you don't want to lose your hair
I was not allowed to wear weave wigs or anything like that in my hair growing up. My grandma had a hair salon so I got my hair done pretty regularly for free. Her sister also had a salon. My mom's sister has a salon too so I got my hair done for free pretty regularly all my life. If I couldn't make it to the salon my grandmother talked my mom and all her sisters how to do hair so my mom could do my hair. But then when I grew up and got married and moved out on my own with my husband I found out that I did not know how to do my own hair. I didn't even realize I didn't know how to do my own hair because I never had to. So im not really sure what I'm going to do if I ever have a little girl because I still don't know how to really do my hair and it's almost past my bellybutton.
I never saw any of your videos it's just popped up but I just wanted to say that you were absolutely beautiful! And I'm so glad that your edges grew back
It’s interesting we call them protective styles when they have our hair falling out. The most protective style I’ve found is wigs because they don’t require all the pulling on my hair like braids with hair added. But I’m getting tired of the wigs too. I want my scalp to breathe.
That brown edge control messed up my hairline terribly. I hate that stylists use edge control to braid down hair. It has done me wrong on numerous occasions. Whatever we were using before social media decided we all needed to use edge control is what we need to do. I started bringing back Vonte. I also hate Lotta Body it's sticky and annoying.
I lay my edges with gorilla snot .And these edge bands are so much better for laying edges down than a regular scarf or durag I just got me one recently 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing, and sorry you experienced that! Also, wanted to let you know Senegalese (sounds like Sin-nuh-guh-lees) in reference to Senegal, the country.
Got to be whatttt!?!?! On Senegalese twist???? And you lasted 6 weeks??? You are a trooper 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ...also she didn't know what she was doing.... you can't use that kind of holding gel on hair that is supposed to move freely.... That being said I got you to where you are right now 🖤🖤🖤
"I looked surprised 24/7" 🤣🤣🤣that took me out.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Noo same😭😭😭😭😭
Ikrrrrr🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

That’s why i had to start doing my own hair too. Other people do not give af about the other person’s hair they’re doing.

Makes me think they do it on, purpose.
What ive learned is that most people are haters. Hence why i NEVER let anyone touch nor examine my hair. The evil eye is real guys.
This the one
Sis you a trooper 😂 anything tight on my scalp comes out immediately. I’ll stop somebody mid braid because noo .. I refuse to deal with the headaches

Your videos are so relaxing for some reason
You look so pretty.
im 17 n i started wearing weave in 8th grade thank god no one has ever touch my hair but my mama & now i do my own hair n life's great

If you can, eat at least 2 eggs a day. Preferably, hardboiled. Your hair will grow thicker, a lot faster. It'll make your nails rock hard too.
Wow, you are pretty!
That happened to me too! I went to a braiding shop and had a style with cornrows in the front and a sew-in in the back. It was so tight my scalp was folded. My left side edges never grew back😩
Girl when is the tutorial on how to do your style passion twists coming out 😫
Ikr!

And that is why I don’t do braids or weaves. I’m glad your edges grew back
So cute so natural
Love that hair style. ❤
Still have no edges but do my own hair too
That's why I do my own hair every time I get it done by someone else my hair come out

Use original jamacian black caster oil on your edges x
I have been doing my braids for years now. Because the professionals took my edges out. Now I have thin edges 😔😔😔😔

Lowkey Look Like Kyla Pratt

How did you grow them back? How long did it take?

It is when done correctly.. did you listen to the story?
The twists 👌
Honestly good
You look literally so amazing I wish I could get edges but once when I got them a girl said I couldn’t do that’s because I wasn’t a colored female
