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.

I usually just wear a wig, but as you said one of the reasons I got the braids was just to not have to deal with it for a while. It's pretty, but it's very tight. Feels like it's pulling. She didn't even really braid it into my scalp either which is weird. She braided around rubberbands.

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
