scalp bumps along the hairline due to braids.
I braided DD hair, mind you, I am very "light-handed". People think that her hair has been up for a week or two due to how loose I braid, when in fact its only a day or two old.
But every time I braid it, the next day she has tiny red bumps along the hairline closer to the ear. May-be her hair is too fine. I hate seeing little girls with tight hairstyles that cause damage, I don't wear my own hair tight. So I take down every single braid the next day if I see the slightest bump and re-braid even looser.
Well today even though the braids are looser, the bumps still remain.
What can I do to get rid of them? Anti-septic, cream, oil, etc......?
P.S. This probably should have been posted in the kids forum, but I know you ladies wear braids and I would like to get more responses.
