Install too tight... HELP

[Caychica]

I've had this happen before. What worked for me was getting in the shower and saturating my entire head with water. Shampoo your hair and the weave really good. Put putting some really thick conditioner in a water bater bottle with water and spray all into the braids(saturate them completely) Leave it in for about 30 minutes and start massaging the braids to losen them a bit. Keep doing that until you feel some relief and let the braid underneath airdry. Don't manually dry them.

Sometimes it's not that the braids are too tight; it is that she sewed the hair in too tight(really pulled on the thread) which pulled on the braids.

If no relief after this, take the install down.

^^i agree with the above-i once had a weave that felt really tight, and after my first shampoo my natural hair kind of loosened up a little bit.
castor oil is also very soothing, so if the area still feels loose, it might help to rub a bit on it.
good luck, honey...your sew-ins are always, fab, by the way!

Thank you

My cousin who wears sew ins A LOT (lol) told me to do the same. I used a applicator bottle with water n saturated it yesterday, that really helped but I'm going to wash it today.

If I had one problem area, I would probably suspicious of the whole thing.

It would come across as a smoke signal for me. If this were me I would get rid of the whole thing personally. But I am no stylist and I haven't worn an install in many years and that's something to consider before being active on any suggestion I give.

Best wishes with this.
