You really need to take them braids out.
They are waaaaaaay too tight if it is keeping you up all night.(not by choice)

Been there, done that. The last time I had micros done by Africans, I did not sleep for an entire week. On the 7th day, I was like - okay this is ridiculous - my head should not still be hurting & I took all 1 million of them out. This was long before the hair forums.

Yeah, i've experienced cornrolls so tight that i had no neck cuz the point where the cornrolls curved at my nape was sooooooo tight, i was scared to rip my hair from the roots by fully extending my neck
But then u remember u paid $60 to $120 for them things and dont wanna take them out so soon. I like the look but unless i learn how to make them LOOSE, yet NEAT MYSELF, i'm not braiding anytime soon.
