Are you sure that you are not just so used to having braids in that your real hair compared to them seems thinner? I only ask b/c I always feel like this after coming out of weaves but after a week or so I realize that it's just my mind paying tricks on me.
If you're not seeing breakage or excessive shedding I wouldn't worry about it - at least until you take all of your braids out.

You took the words right out of my mouth. My mind plays tricks on me too when I come out of braids because I've become so accustomed to having all that extra hair.
Wanda, I agree that you won't be able to tell until you take all your braids out. You can't judge your whole head by that one small section. Be patient, take them out slowly, and don't forget to factor in all the shed hair that will come out (the hair that's been accumulating since you've had braids).
