All of you should calm down. Everybody feels pain differently. Pain is relative. I have a low threshold for pain and I'm super sensitive so I become a big baby when I feel a tiny discomfort. Some people aren't the same. I indicated clearly that the hair wasn't painful until she got to the front, but a lot of you 'hair coaches' listen to respond only. Smh
I too have a low threshold and let me tell you, different hands matter. I find in Africa where I too am from, they believe grabbing the hair harder will help it stay. I’ve found madams who don’t do that and the hair comes out beautiful and lasts just as long. It’s the technique in each person.
@@Israel_ILY whatever you want to think you can think. I've never had my hair bleed cos I braided it. You're clearly not black. Asides that it's my hair not yours so rest
@@CharityEkezie Just like Maureen said, it depends on the technique. I've gotten my hair braided by Africans and Black people who are heavy handed. I also had braiders who were more gentle.

Black hair is just amazing. I think Black hair is proof God is an artist.

Many black women have very sensitive scalps too, it's more about your hair texture and how tight the person is braiding your hair. Many black women end up with receding hairlines because they get their hair braided so tight because they think their scalp is invincible

fellow brown person here. i’m half black and half white and i grew up around mostly white people, and most of my friends were/are white. i spent a lot of my younger years wishing i looked like them, but after hearing “i wish i was as tan as you!” so many times i realized we always want what we don’t have lol. love, or at the very least, ACCEPT who you are. there will always be someone who envies you.
Though I’m a Latina white American, I feel this pain, and it brings me back to my childhood. When I was young, I had a black nanny, and I LOVE her. One thing that I will always remember is her doing those braids on me. She obviously didn’t put extensions because I was like 3 or 4, but she would make a bunch of tiny braids like this on my hair, and I still vividly remember the PAIN. She’s retired now. I miss her so much. At least we keep in touch!
That sounds amazing! I always wished I could get my hair in braids like that, but then I learned from my friend that this could be a 8 plus hour event... and it costs substantially more than in Africa... put in on my no go list... just wishful thinking for me now. lol. Glad you got to have that experience and keep in touch with such a special person!
She shouldn’t have done that. Tight braids are for black hair only because it’s a different texture. Straight or wavy hair which almost all non black people have can just be braided in big chunky braids which is better for the hair and scalps of everyone else.
it's the confidence & the sense of you being a confidant. asmr isnt just a trend, its a function in your brain :) she is triggering it, meaning you feel safe listening to her.
It looks amazing!! The curls definitely make it even better then it was before, and you were correct when you said that this color looks amazing on you!!
I don't do the pain thing anymore. I'm very open about when I am having pain, especially seeing all the traction hair loss we often experience. I was open with my braider (we're both African, me from the West, her from the East) and afterwards, I never had the same pain again, some discomfort but once she realised where I was feeling pain, she was able to braid more gently and avoided my edges to prevent damage
I completely understand. I used to SUFFER in silence but once it started using the internet more as a kid and seeing how black American woman speak up about their “hair horror stories” I started to speak up for myself but I wish I would have done that earlier because now I have a permanent bald spot from when a girl braided my hair way too tight. When my mom picked me up she was pissed! But I lied and insisted I wasn’t in pain because she paid for it😭. Ever since then I speak up if it hurts too much and I separate my edges before going so that I can protect my hairline lmao
Right. But the beginning part where your hair is twisted and the extension is added in for the first time always hurts cos it slightly tugs your hair. But when that part is over the rest really doesn't.
It’s honestly amazing how far African women and men have came and figured out how to care for their natural hair 🙌🏽 love it and mass respect Y’all I didn’t mean this in a bad way at all it’s just that y’all are very talented when it comes to hair and expressing it through your hair. As someone with straight hair we don’t have to do anything to our hair, so I find it amazing how much y’all care for your hair also i meant from literally the existence of humans like duh we been around long enough for us to know stuff can’t y’all take a compliment
Africans always knew how to care for their hair. We literally have the best hair. Western world black people are the people truly learning how to care for the natural hair
@joytaboh1219 bcs other places in the world dont know how to tk care of their hair,lmao! And tking care u mean torture the hair,adding fake one and not keeping the natural very heavy and very curly hair u hv,right? Wow- on point🤣👌 Please,just please🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m sorry but what? I understand that you meant well, but people in general find way to take care of themselves. We are smart beings. But I understand that you meant well, but your comment may lead to misunderstandings 😅
@@andrajurubitamarin5379 I mean taking care of natural hair. For the longest time people in Africa used wool to stretch their hair and had the most natural oils for the hair. My grandma always took the best care of my hair. Most Africans wear their hair out or they have lower cuts based on preference. I believe the original comment made a very wrong analysis. If anything people are falling away from the roots of before. The way we used to care for our hairs back then with minimal manipulation. Most older Nigerian movies even show this so well with the ladies and the Bantu knots in their hair or the cornrows. Or even the thread method. That is what I mean when I say we Africans have always known how to care for our hair
I can’t understand why women equate the two! My Mom could braid your hair and you can’t tell she’s braiding! It’s unnecessary, and it’s not cool to put people through that torture. That’s why I don’t get braids done by these shops.
@@aissatalandoure367 I took me almost 10 years to grow my edges and bald spots back. I only braid my own hair. No African salon comes near my hear anymore. I would rather let my hair braid by a white girl…
I am a white woman and don't know a lot about black women's hair, but I always find these types of videos interesting and I always learn something. Thank you!
Please someone tell me that why they need to do this to protect their hair. I always thought they do this because that is very fancy and stylish but now i am curious to know. Please tell meeee!!
@@she-y8fI think it protects it from mechanical damage and manipulation. But I also don’t really get it because the hair styles pull so tightly on the scalp which is really bad for the hair follicles
@@she-y8f These styles can help, but they can damage hair too. I don’t recommend the added hair since it isn’t necessary and it can weigh down the follicle. Protective styles are only protective depending on how they're done, but the goal is to protect the ends (the oldest part of the hair) and the rest of the hair, of course. 🙂 The hair can be protected better by simply putting it in two big braids (like Dutch/French braids or cornrows) and wrapping the ends of the braids into their own braided bun(s) since the goal is to protect the hair from heat (damage), chemical(s) (damage), tension (damage), excessive tangling, and to protect the ends- or at least that's how I view it. 😊
I never been to the mother land 😅..but...I got some "Cleopatra bob" braids back when I was 8/9 yrs old (99ish) and THEY HURT SO BAD 😢...headache bad..u touch a braid it'll snap bad..u gotta keep oil sheen so they don't sting bad..i can't wear a scarf all night bad 🤦🏾♀️but they were so neat.. even sized..smelled like tea tree oil..laid and fit my face. Will I do it again?! Nope. that day I realized what "tender headed" was. I can't do braids but they look beautiful 😩🤌🏾💎🙋🏾♀️
As a African lady getting ur hair braided in africa is amazing (minus the pain) it’s always so beautiful and although I’m not in Africa I have always loved getting my hair in africa, luvvvvv ur vids ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mom would take me to an African-run salon to get my hair braided and it was one of the most painful experiences of my childhood. It’s like a thousand tiny people pulling your hair 24/7, but at least I looked cute 😭
I was so bitchy abt it as a child that my mother shaved my hair and i was just bald till i was like 6 years old and entered my bougie princess phase (daddys money 💀💀)
As an African, what I love with our hairstylist is their low prices (you can litteraly get waist length braids done for less than 10 $) and the variety of styles you can afford with them (cornrows, african threading, bantu knots, braids, twist, ...). They can literally do everything for you no matter your hair length. I also appreciate the fact that they can just braid on your natural hair without having to blow dry it or relax it like most western hairdressers. But I hate the fact that conditioners and finger detangling aren't part of African culture to this day because getting your hair braided can hurt if you have low pain tolerance.
Had my hair braided in Ghana 🇬🇭 this past April and it didn’t hurt. The braids depend on who’s doing them. Looked amazing, lasted for almost 2 months and were cheap. Would definitely get my hair braided in Africa again.
Everything is perspective. Your level of sensivity is not the same as every other person. Had braids done in Ghana and it hurt like hell. I barely kept it in for a month because I have every sensitive scalp. The pain is relative to sensivity for sure.
" now I chose this colour of extensions because it makes my skin pop, like I love the colour of my skin" Just made my day😊 edit: I wasn't trying to be mean, its just that I have seen many people (including myself) having a hard time on loving their skin, and I just see this as a encouragement. btw tysm for the likes I have never had so much
I can't help but think how skilled the braiders are; as well as the endurance and patience on both parties- the person with the braids and the braider. It looked so pretty when you are done!
I was about to type the same thing, and you beat me to the jump! Also, It's not worth losing your edges: Your hairline should NOT start behind your ears!
I lived in Nigeria. I used to visit my neighbor when she got her hair done. She had so much hair, some styles would take 2 days to complete. The styles were always amazing!
I’d like to commend all the beautiful black women who stay committed to taking care of their hair! It looks like it takes a lot of hard work but it pays off because the styles are gorgeous!
I can’t imagine how painful that is! I’m white, so I’ve never had braids apart from your standard French braids, and I’m autistic and the amount of pain I feel just 5 mins to do a French braid makes me cry and have to take it out after like 30 mins, I can’t imagine having this many braids done so tightly all over! It’s so impressive! And yes that pink really compliments your skin, you look so beautiful! ❤
When I was a little girl I had very long hair (down past my butt) and we visited Lanzarote and there were many older ladies offering to braid hair very cheap and I remember going up to them with my little purse of holiday money and saying “Mum says that our hair won’t hold the braids, but I would really like to try. Can you braid my hair?” And she span me around to look at my hair, an uncared for frizzy mess that should be curls, and sat me down saying “Your hair perfect, very thick, care for it you get curls, okay?” And braided my hair and I will never forget that. It was so fun, the braids lasted most of my vacation and I remember her sweet smile over 10 years later. I’m a dude now, transitioned, but she was so lovely.
Regarding the pain, sometimes it depends on the sensitivity of the scalp. Also, some braiders have heavy hands that can contribute to the pain. Overall if it’s really painful and tight, you should let the braider know to loosen them before proceeding. Sleeping with a painful scalp is the worst.
Honestly African Americans love to claim that Africans get their edges pulled out during braiding or simply don’t have edges. When in reality it’s simply not a trend or custom for Africans to do their edges. If you have a hairline you have edges but having edge’s doesn’t mean they’re gonna be done. Them not being done does not mean that they don’t have edges. I don’t see what the big deal is with slicked edges but okay 🤷🏾♀️ Just stop bothering us about them because we obviously don’t care.
@@CharityEkezieI suspect people aren’t aware you are tender scalped because you don’t mention it in the video… I had to search the comment section for mention of it - Also there is a pinned post that’s rather nasty so I suspect people are now just saying it to be rude back
AMAZING is an understatement!! Your braids looks so good!!! I understand that there is a difference in prices between countries, but those women did a 😘, priceless job!! ❤
@@CharityEkezie I am African, and yes, braids hurt. However, we have been going through that pain for so long that if it doesn't hurt, you think that the braids won't stay for a long time. You feel like you have been ripped off😂😅😂
@Shay Shay That's the point. They shouldn't hurt, but they do, especially if you are tender headed. Was it an African shop anywhere else other than Africa? If yes, then they may have adjusted to suit the environment where they are braiding.
The beauty and culture of black hair is on another level! I love seeing people get their hair done like this! Your stylists slayed and so do you sis 💅✨🩶
IM GOING TO ASK IF THEY CAN MAKE THEM LOOSE AND IM GOING TO PAY THEM MUCH MORE BECAUSE THEY DESERVE MORE FOR THEIR GREAT QUALITY WORK. LOVE THESE LADIES❤
I don’t believe braids should hurt. I learned how to do my hair from a young age and noticed the difference when someone else did my hair. Now I do my daughter and husband hair in all types of styles pain free and they are tender headed.
I also have a very sensitive scalp and do not let most people near my head anymore. If I was a parent I think I would be as gentle and considerate as you are
Kudos to anyone who has more than 5 minutes to spend on their hair cause I CANNOT I am impatient and sometimes a simple ponytail gives me a headache. To endure the headaches and pain that can cause and NOT take it down at the end of the day YOU'RE AMAZING i could never lol
I got my hair done in Uganda, and it did NOT hurt. I asked the young lady not to braid it tight, and she did NOT. My hair lasted for a long time without her trying to pull my brains out! Yes, very inexpensive!
Man, all these people in the comments I have a disorder that sounds made up called “hair grooming syncope” where if I am in a certain position for too long, and my scalp is being pulled + heat, I PASS out As a kid, my parents and grandma used to give me so much drama for not letting them do my hair. Then picture day 5th grade I fell to the floor while my mom straightened my hair. They all thought I had diabetes 😂 Moral of the story, people’s scalps are at different sensitivity levels, from hard headed all the way until it’s a literal medical condition Be kind y’all :)
As someone who is tender headed, I feel you on the pain part!!! 😭😭 especially if the person who is working with you is not tender headed, you will, for sure feel the pain! 😭😭
I can't take it 😅😅...I be wanting braids bad too..but it took a braider 3 days to do micros 2 braiders the last time I got micros..I got Cleopatra braid once and couldnt put a scarf on the braids were so tight. I saw how ppl edges was and said no thank u. I seen some BEAUTIFUL goddess braids..2 strand twists like Jimbo box braids..long, mid back and I want them..but as a tender head..I need delicacy 🤌🏾🤦🏾♀️
"The pain we have to go through as black women". No. We dont HAVE to go through that pain, we choose to. If my hair style hurts, it probably isn't good for my hair or my scalp.
She's telling the truth they will be cheap, beautiful and painful.....Sadly in most cases the edges are the ones that pay the ultimate price in some people.....I am from the Southern part of Africa and most people look at my edges and ask what do I use for them to be so full and they also ask about the density of my hair and I tell them nothing but in actual reality I know it's because of not going to the hair dresser I left that place 12 years ago because I couldn't deal with them being so tight and painful
fr i got mines done on friday… i asked for knotless but the aunties was braiding my thoughts i was whimpering and we had to take a break it has NEVER hurt like that
❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful!!!! Here in the states, this set would EASILY cost $200+ and your hair is NOT washed, detangled or anything outside of parting and braiding 😂
I am very particular when I get my hair braided and a lot of times stylist can get an attitude. If they are doing it too tight I have to say something because I refuse to be walking around with a headache or unable to sleep. Furthermore I need all of my edges when I take those braids out.😂😂
That color is GORGEOUS! They look great, and I get the pain tolerance thing. My mom would brush my hair when I was younger and OHMYGOODNESS I cried so much everytime
@@PepTalkDivayes, ponytails do the same WHEN IT'S TOO TIGHT. Ponytails done correctly will not cause hair loss. It's so funny how first you're saying she has all her edges, but when called out that her hair is thinning you switch to "well ponytails do it too!!" Like what 😂 Just because it can happen from other incorrectly done hairstyles doesn't mean we should subject ourselves too literal pain and hair loss. Come on now.
@@PepTalkDivababe, saying someone may have breakage and bald spots from braiding their hair too tight isnt being a hater 💀( i hear black girls say that to white girls who wear braids ALL THE TIME, yet its not seen as being a hater when they do it, they are just "educating" 🤔 how is this any different?) Someone was giving advice, thats it. She doesnt have to take it obviously, but when you post anything online people ARE going to put in their opinon. Thats just how the internet works 💀
@@CharityEkezieyou are in denial as someone who has had her hair braided in Africa and America. Braids aren’t supposed to hurt. If you sleep uncomfortable for 2 days after you have done your braids they were too tight. I used to think it was normal till I did my hair in America and realize it isn’t normal.

She obviously didn’t put extensions because I was like 3 or 4, but she would make a bunch of tiny braids like this on my hair, and I still vividly remember the PAIN. She’s retired now. I miss her so much. At least we keep in touch!
That sounds amazing! I always wished I could get my hair in braids like that, but then I learned from my friend that this could be a 8 plus hour event... and it costs substantially more than in Africa... put in on my no go list... just wishful thinking for me now. lol. Glad you got to have that experience and keep in touch with such a special person!
sweet story ❤
She shouldn’t have done that. Tight braids are for black hair only because it’s a different texture. Straight or wavy hair which almost all non black people have can just be braided in big chunky braids which is better for the hair and scalps of everyone else.
How are you White, Latina and American?! 😂

It looks amazing!! The curls definitely make it even better then it was before, and you were correct when you said that this color looks amazing on you!!
Them curls ain't it
@@KanyeBreast4nah they're good and less hastle then using French curls
I don't do the pain thing anymore. I'm very open about when I am having pain, especially seeing all the traction hair loss we often experience. I was open with my braider (we're both African, me from the West, her from the East) and afterwards, I never had the same pain again, some discomfort but once she realised where I was feeling pain, she was able to braid more gently and avoided my edges to prevent damage
I completely understand. I used to SUFFER in silence but once it started using the internet more as a kid and seeing how black American woman speak up about their “hair horror stories” I started to speak up for myself but I wish I would have done that earlier because now I have a permanent bald spot from when a girl braided my hair way too tight. When my mom picked me up she was pissed! But I lied and insisted I wasn’t in pain because she paid for it😭. Ever since then I speak up if it hurts too much and I separate my edges before going so that I can protect my hairline lmao
“Welcome to a day in the life of an African living in Africa who has never been anywhere but Africa” just made my day
this sentence is everything
Black people are absolutely gorgeous! Their hair is so pretty and their skin glows! The braids look so good too! :) ❤
It should never hurt when putting braids in your hair! Tight braids are extremely damaging to hair and scalp.
Right. But the beginning part where your hair is twisted and the extension is added in for the first time always hurts cos it slightly tugs your hair. But when that part is over the rest really doesn't.
That's what I'm thinking Why would it hurt?? Is it too tight or something? Doesn't that causes hair loss and alopecia
@@Dr.RoseQuartz yes✔️💯😥
@@Dr.RoseQuartzit does. Her edges are receding 😮
@@ollap.4457 guess I won't be getting my hair braided in Africa lol
It’s honestly amazing how far African women and men have came and figured out how to care for their natural hair 🙌🏽 love it and mass respect
Y’all I didn’t mean this in a bad way at all it’s just that y’all are very talented when it comes to hair and expressing it through your hair. As someone with straight hair we don’t have to do anything to our hair, so I find it amazing how much y’all care for your hair
also i meant from literally the existence of humans like duh we been around long enough for us to know stuff can’t y’all take a compliment
Africans always knew how to care for their hair. We literally have the best hair. Western world black people are the people truly learning how to care for the natural hair
@joytaboh1219 bcs other places in the world dont know how to tk care of their hair,lmao! And tking care u mean torture the hair,adding fake one and not keeping the natural very heavy and very curly hair u hv,right? Wow- on point🤣👌
Please,just please🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m sorry but what? I understand that you meant well, but people in general find way to take care of themselves. We are smart beings. But I understand that you meant well, but your comment may lead to misunderstandings 😅
@@andrajurubitamarin5379 I mean taking care of natural hair. For the longest time people in Africa used wool to stretch their hair and had the most natural oils for the hair. My grandma always took the best care of my hair. Most Africans wear their hair out or they have lower cuts based on preference. I believe the original comment made a very wrong analysis. If anything people are falling away from the roots of before. The way we used to care for our hairs back then with minimal manipulation. Most older Nigerian movies even show this so well with the ladies and the Bantu knots in their hair or the cornrows. Or even the thread method. That is what I mean when I say we Africans have always known how to care for our hair
@@andrajurubitamarin5379girl bye.. u not even makin no sense. U js talkin just to talk.
Beauty isn’t pain… pain is lost edges and breakage
my thoughts exactly..... less painful and loose it would be worth the trip
I can’t understand why women equate the two! My Mom could braid your hair and you can’t tell she’s braiding! It’s unnecessary, and it’s not cool to put people through that torture. That’s why I don’t get braids done by these shops.
Facts and I have a sensitive scalp, there’s absolutely no way this would work for me 🤣🤣
some ppl r diff as a african girl growing up I NEVER LOST MY HAIR OR EDGES as tghtly as they braids and my hair is LONG still
@@aissatalandoure367 I took me almost 10 years to grow my edges and bald spots back. I only braid my own hair. No African salon comes near my hear anymore. I would rather let my hair braid by a white girl…

I am a white woman and don't know a lot about black women's hair, but I always find these types of videos interesting and I always learn something. Thank you!
aww
Please someone tell me that why they need to do this to protect their hair. I always thought they do this because that is very fancy and stylish but now i am curious to know. Please tell meeee!!
@@she-y8fI think it protects it from mechanical damage and manipulation. But I also don’t really get it because the hair styles pull so tightly on the scalp which is really bad for the hair follicles
Braids were originally from white culture tho?
@@she-y8f These styles can help, but they can damage hair too. I don’t recommend the added hair since it isn’t necessary and it can weigh down the follicle. Protective styles are only protective depending on how they're done, but the goal is to protect the ends (the oldest part of the hair) and the rest of the hair, of course. 🙂 The hair can be protected better by simply putting it in two big braids (like Dutch/French braids or cornrows) and wrapping the ends of the braids into their own braided bun(s) since the goal is to protect the hair from heat (damage), chemical(s) (damage), tension (damage), excessive tangling, and to protect the ends- or at least that's how I view it. 😊
those braids are so pretty ngl. getting the same colour fr>>
Those braids are so CLEEAAAAN AND STUNNING
I never been to the mother land 😅..but...I got some "Cleopatra bob" braids back when I was 8/9 yrs old (99ish) and THEY HURT SO BAD 😢...headache bad..u touch a braid it'll snap bad..u gotta keep oil sheen so they don't sting bad..i can't wear a scarf all night bad 🤦🏾♀️but they were so neat.. even sized..smelled like tea tree oil..laid and fit my face.

My mom would take me to an African-run salon to get my hair braided and it was one of the most painful experiences of my childhood. It’s like a thousand tiny people pulling your hair 24/7, but at least I looked cute 😭
A thousand tiny people pulling your hair 24/7 💀
Too much pain for me 😮
waiting for Alopecia to find our number in the phone book so she can give us a lil call
I was so bitchy abt it as a child that my mother shaved my hair and i was just bald till i was like 6 years old and entered my bougie princess phase (daddys money 💀💀)
As an African, what I love with our hairstylist is their low prices (you can litteraly get waist length braids done for less than 10 $) and the variety of styles you can afford with them (cornrows, african threading, bantu knots, braids, twist, ...). They can literally do everything for you no matter your hair length.
I also appreciate the fact that they can just braid on your natural hair without having to blow dry it or relax it like most western hairdressers. But I hate the fact that conditioners and finger detangling aren't part of African culture to this day because getting your hair braided can hurt if you have low pain tolerance.
I wouldn’t be struggling to do my own hair if the prices were like that in the US
"I love the color of my skin" girl your a queen!!!!❤
Had my hair braided in Ghana 🇬🇭 this past April and it didn’t hurt. The braids depend on who’s doing them. Looked amazing, lasted for almost 2 months and were cheap. Would definitely get my hair braided in Africa again.
Everything is perspective. Your level of sensivity is not the same as every other person. Had braids done in Ghana and it hurt like hell. I barely kept it in for a month because I have every sensitive scalp. The pain is relative to sensivity for sure.
I got my hair braided in Takoradi; my hairdresser was sadly nonsense

It's refreshing to see somebody not only accepting their skin color but also fully embrace it and loving it.
The full team swarming you is hilarious. Thank you for showing us the process, it's absolutely beautiful

I lived in Nigeria. I used to visit my neighbor when she got her hair done. She had so much hair, some styles would take 2 days to complete. The styles were always amazing!
I'm always in awe of the artistry involved in caring for black hair! ❤

I can’t imagine how painful that is! I’m white, so I’ve never had braids apart from your standard French braids, and I’m autistic and the amount of pain I feel just 5 mins to do a French braid makes me cry and have to take it out after like 30 mins, I can’t imagine having this many braids done so tightly all over! It’s so impressive! And yes that pink really compliments your skin, you look so beautiful! ❤
When I was a little girl I had very long hair (down past my butt) and we visited Lanzarote and there were many older ladies offering to braid hair very cheap and I remember going up to them with my little purse of holiday money and saying “Mum says that our hair won’t hold the braids, but I would really like to try. Can you braid my hair?” And she span me around to look at my hair, an uncared for frizzy mess that should be curls, and sat me down saying “Your hair perfect, very thick, care for it you get curls, okay?” And braided my hair and I will never forget that. It was so fun, the braids lasted most of my vacation and I remember her sweet smile over 10 years later. I’m a dude now, transitioned, but she was so lovely.
Why a dude?

@@cup_of_tea755 dudes smell
Regarding the pain, sometimes it depends on the sensitivity of the scalp. Also, some braiders have heavy hands that can contribute to the pain. Overall if it’s really painful and tight, you should let the braider know to loosen them before proceeding. Sleeping with a painful scalp is the worst.
Exactly. I have low pain threshold and my scalp is quite sensitive. I don't know how people don't get that not everyone feels pain while braiding
True but the breakage around the edges is saying otherwise 🤷🏽♀️
@@didyallseethat499 that had nothing to do with braiding. I braid my hair once a year.
Honestly African Americans love to claim that Africans get their edges pulled out during braiding or simply don’t have edges. When in reality it’s simply not a trend or custom for Africans to do their edges. If you have a hairline you have edges but having edge’s doesn’t mean they’re gonna be done. Them not being done does not mean that they don’t have edges. I don’t see what the big deal is with slicked edges but okay 🤷🏾♀️ Just stop bothering us about them because we obviously don’t care.
@@CharityEkezieI suspect people aren’t aware you are tender scalped because you don’t mention it in the video… I had to search the comment section for mention of it - Also there is a pinned post that’s rather nasty so I suspect people are now just saying it to be rude back

@@chipomwape3668 nah I've had my hair braided in an Aftican shop and it SHOULDN'T hurt unless they're braiding too tight
@Shay Shay That's the point. They shouldn't hurt, but they do, especially if you are tender headed. Was it an African shop anywhere else other than Africa? If yes, then they may have adjusted to suit the environment where they are braiding.
Thin edges

So true! I'm 13 and live in UAE but I'm from Nigeria, my mom would braid in the extensions for me it hurt so bad i buzzed my hair.
I miss living in Dubai. My hair was always neatly done. Way cheaper and better than in Canada.
I don’t believe braids should hurt. I learned how to do my hair from a young age and noticed the difference when someone else did my hair. Now I do my daughter and husband hair in all types of styles pain free and they are tender headed.
I also have a very sensitive scalp and do not let most people near my head anymore. If I was a parent I think I would be as gentle and considerate as you are

As a kid, my parents and grandma used to give me so much drama for not letting them do my hair. Then picture day 5th grade I fell to the floor while my mom straightened my hair. They all thought I had diabetes 😂
Moral of the story, people’s scalps are at different sensitivity levels, from hard headed all the way until it’s a literal medical condition

If getting your hair braided hurts that bad, it means there’s too much tension on your scalp and there’s a strong possibility your edges will break.
