Any other black women hate getting braids because of the pain?

I haven't had my hair braided in years. Got it done today. I forgot how painful it is after it's complete, and how heavy weave can be.

I honestly can't stand having braids I weaves in my hair! It's way to heavy and gives me horrible headaches. We took a trip last summer so I got braids that way I wouldn't have to worry about doing my hair on the trip. And that was a huge mistake. They were so long and heavy, I couldn't stand it. I'll never do that again.

Jumbo braids are cute. I wear mine curly. It's naturally very curly so I just rock that. I don't use heat anymore because I fried it back in highschool. I twist outs or finger curls too. And I do a lot of updos. YouTube videos taught me a lot about taking care of my hair girl

The girls in the videos make it look so easy and pretty. I come out looking like a matted poodle. 😂

@Slink lmao! They do though. Everytime I try a new technique it comes out all sorts of wrong. Even if I follow it step by step. Ugh! Struggles

I haven't had mine done in years either. Depending on who braids it, it can be quite painful.
I'm white so I had no idea it was so painful! I heard it was heavy though from a girl who got her's done. You'll have to keep these things in mind so you don't forgot again.

Yeah, it eventually goes away but it also loosens up on its own so as far as the scalp goes it's easier to handle. The weight can still be a bit much though.
@Slink Shit, I'm sorry 😕 I guess it's true once again, beauty is pain.

Yeah, but i guess I kind of did that to myself. Lol
