Ouch - No Extensions

[Guest]

I had an accident and can't use my right arm very well I had a friend braid my hair no extenstions or hair, just my hair it feels very tight and this is only day 2, can this pull your hair out, it feels like hair is pullin out the roots?

Is it not safe to braid relaxed hair? Should I take them out

Please somebody HELP.

Anybody out there that braided their relaxed hair???

if they hurt really bad after 2 days they need to go. if you want to keep them in you can try taking hot shower and putting some sulfur 8 on your scalp.

Do you know if they can pull your hair out the roots?

If the braids are tight enough, then yes they can pull out the hair at the root. If they're that tight, I say take them out. No sense in damaging your hair.

Yes Mindymouse they can pull your hair out by the roots if done too tightly. Plus if your hair has previously been relaxed or, not long after and you get it braided that's worse! Before I braid my hair (I do both, extentions or my own hair) I always wait at least 4 weeks or longer so that my hair is stronger. Some wait 2-3, but the more new growth for me the better.

Thanks, guys, I just did'nt want to overreact and take down all her hard work. I'm not sure even if it's just that I'm not used to braids, have'nt worn them in like 2 yrs.
