I had a question. I have been wearing braids for years constantly with the only time I take them down being when I am washing it before getting my hair rebraided the next day. The braids or not tight or anything. Is it okay to do that, or should I leave my hair unbraided for a couple of weeks before getting it rebraided?
@rhodacm972 жыл бұрын
After you take down your Braids you should take a break for 1-2 weeks before you rebraid your hair again. It is not good to rebraid your hair directly after you take the Braids down. Because it is not healthy for your scalp, strains the hair and is also a pressure on the hair.

@@Gabe_Cross Dreadlocks are not being taken down and reinstalled throughout the year. They grow directly out of the scalp so there's very little manipulation, pulling and tugging at the scalp. Braids are completely different!
@Gabe_Cross Жыл бұрын
@@sayitloudblcknproud True, they are different, but they are similar in some ways. They both have “locks” in which hair strands are grouped together. It is true that locks are not taken down, but hair is still being grouped together for dreadlocks each time new hair has grown a certain length. While locks win out in number of times the hair is manipulated, one thing about locks I feel is more of a concern is the possibility to apply more of a constant strain to the scalp. With locks, they usually hang from the scalp from a smaller surface area, while braids usually lay along the scalp for the most part.

Be sure you’re braids are not installed too tightly, every single strand of your edges doesn’t need to be braided, don’t pull them up or back too soon after getting them done and when you start styling them up or back, don’t do it the same direction a lot. Keep your edges moisturized. Sleep with a silk or satin scarf to keep your braids in place rather than pulling and all over the place. Hope this helps
