      I love braids, because for me they're pretty low maintenance.
      I started braiding my own hair about 8 years ago. It's time very consuming and almost every time I want new braids, I consider paying someone to do it. Then I remember how much people are charging now and how much I'll save by doing it myself.
      In the last 8 years, I've paid to have my hair done 4 times and spent just over £300 in total.
      Although still expensive these days, I think UK braiders charge much less than US braiders. The last time was a year ago, I paid around £100 for waist length knotless, thats the most I've ever paid for 1 install.

      They don’t care. I worked in an African shop and all the clients would say something. The owner would say “braids are supposed to hurt” then continue to pull. You ask them to leave the edges they don’t. It was a good experience as someone wanting to step up my technique but was the worst experience as far as a work environment and I’ve worked in a restaurant and daycare center. Is still do hair but never worked in another shop and won’t unless it’s my own.

    Spray your tight braids with which hazel at the root to relieve the tention

    • @MorenaRose86
      @MorenaRose86 Месяц назад +5

      The only way to relieve tension is to not braid tight which leads to balding and alopecia. Witch hazel won't loosen tight braids and it will also irritate the scalp.

    A few years back, I had my hair braided at an African beauty salon! Well, let me tell you this!
    I was quoted $80 when I called and set up an appointment! I explained how I wanted my braids done and was told $80! I’d agreed and went in the next day!
    Only took about 3 hours and when the girl was done, she said, “ that’ll be $180, please “!
    It was a whole $100 more, but my hair was so nicely done and my head was throbbing! Pulled my hair so tight, you would think I had Botox injected in my face, because I couldn’t smile without feeling like my face was gonna crack!
    Did an excellent job, but too pricey and not a fan of having my hair pulled! So, I never went back! Saving my money and edges…
    Not paying anyone to destroy the hair on my crown! 👀😳

    Her braids are butt length, they are manually mixing two colors of hair brown and blonde, this style is not as simple as traditional box braids, it is also knotless. This price is about right for these braids. There were two people working on these braids for 5 hours each. That means they could not take any other customers for 5 hours to do her hair. Maybe because she brought her own hair they could have given her a break on the price but this is standard this length and style
