Am I wrong to take it out?

[Duchesse]

Okay forgive me, this is a really stupid question:

Tuesday night into Weds morning I put in extension braids. I don't know what I was thinking, I used this Jamaican kinky brand, I planned on doing kinky twists but couldn't get the hang of it so I wound up just braiding it all the way. About halfway through I started thinking "this is getting to be a bit oogley", but I figured I should just continue.

So about 11 hours later I have a head of braids that makes Whoopie Goldberg's do look like the ish.

My mom says to just keep it in and wear a headband and a bun, that I'm making no sense, but I'm about ready to snatch these creepy crawlies outta my head asap.

Please tell me that there is someone else who has wasted half a day of their life and 12$, just to waste a few more hours in the take down? I can't be alone in my madness.

i had spent about 3 hours doing twists on my natural hair (no extensions) .. and i took them out the next day because I didnt like them ... that was before i started caring properly for my hair. If i had to do that now .. they would have to stay for at least a week , no way am i manipulating my hair that much in one week ( im a hard core low "manipulator", if that makes any difference)

Nope,I've done twists and taken them out the very next day.

if you take them out what do you plan on doing to your hair?Make sure you have a plan,especially if those were going to be your summer protective style.

Been there, done that! Fortunately the girl that was braiding my hair stopped an hour later and said "hell naw!" and took it down. It was kinky hair for twists too. I thought it would look natural but she said uh uh. I'm glad she wasn't a hater!

OMG gurl you sound like me! I do this all the time...meaning i'll spend half day sometimes a weekend doing my own hair (weaves, interlocks, micros, french braids you name it) then if I don't like it I'll take it down within the next few day if not at the end of the week. personally i feel the way my hair looks plays a part in how I feel or my self esteem. Matter fact I just did that this past weekend ( i had put me in some interlocks or tree braids that took me all weekend to do, kept them in for a week b/c i didn't like how short i cut my hair and this past weekend i took them out and did a full head weave that i absolutely love!)

I figure hey I didn't have to pay someone to do it so not much of a waste. I could see if you went to the shop and paid some $ then I'd say keep those braids in for awhile. But if you don't like it take them out! Cuz if you don't like them you're the one that has to walk around with the hair on year head.
