If you can't comfortably squint your eyes they're too tight, and feel the base of the braid, twist or cornrow, is there a bump under it? If so remove immediantly. If you feel as if nothing tight is on your head, you're good!
It depends on how tight you have the braids. Don't have them so tight that your head is hurting, but have them tight enough that they wont come out if your running around.
Very tightly. But not too tight. If you braid too tightly you could have hair loss. Just remember threes should be no pain, strain on the scalp, small bumps and no headaches...these are all indicators of braids or cornrows that are too tight.
Secure micro braids with a rubber band at the end of the braid. Place it where the slip know was created. The rubber band must be wrapped around the braid several times to make it as tight as possible.
yes they do hurt your hair if their really tight
No if the hair is tight it will not shed
Yes, braids can potentially damage a perm if they are too tight or if the hair is styled in a way that puts excessive tension on the strands. This tension can lead to breakage and may cause the perm to loosen or even come out. It's important to use gentle styling techniques and avoid tight hairstyles to preserve the integrity of permed hair. Regular maintenance and care can help keep both braids and perms looking their best without causing damage.
No it does not. In fact I have then in right now and this African lady does then for me everytime! Just tell then not to braid too tight especially around your edges to prevent breakage.
Neosporin can help prevent infection and promote healing for minor cuts, scrapes, or irritation caused by braids. However, it may not specifically address the underlying issues like inflammation or tightness associated with braiding. For best results, it's important to keep the scalp clean and moisturized, and consider loosening the braids if they are too tight. If irritation persists, consulting a dermatologist is advisable.
