Never get braids professionally done. These stylists are obsessed with promoting their services on Instagram more than the health of your hair

You should tell the professional don't do it too tight.

Once I worked at this child care facility in a city that has a higher population of African American kids than Caucasian kids and when I would play with the little girls they always asked to braid my hair, and I said yes. I didn’t realize they were doing the really tight braids, and I’ve never got them done before. It hurt so bad I started crying 😂 I don’t know how girls who get tight braids are so strong!

I’m sorry you’re suffering, but I swear that’s the prettiest braid design I’ve ever seen. Like there are a lot of gorgeous, intricate, artful designs, but in terms of just simple feminine prettiness, this is it. Love it. And I love how there are different sizes (but not like when a bad braider doesn’t know how to keep them uniform). Good job to your stylist.

The heaviness of braids depends on the braid. The first time I got box braids , I use some brand I bought from Amazon. This second time I got ez hair by spectre. And these braids are super light. It feels like the weight of my own hair.

[@KikiLM23]

I'm used to braids I'm just annoyed with my braids right now. My hairstyle is similar to yours right now. My hair fuzzed out already 😫😭 after 2 weeks. My hair can't keep braids unless its the single plaits. Now I look like cornrow gone bad with the lion mane buts it's a sign my hair grows fast. As your hair grows your braids gets heavier 😵 so you're carrying extra weight. The endings start to stick u and you get even annoyed especially when they didn't trim the ish more. You feel relieved when you get your braids done because of the style you want and it's protective but give it a week or 2 and you over it. Keeping braids in too long can cause some ppl to start locking and detangling it can be a nightmare.

This was great! I normally get box braids and I've used all kinds of hair. I think that the weight of the braids is dependent on the hair used. I use Xpressions and that isn't heavy (it may not be heavy to me cuz I have a big head and my neck is probably used to it now) but one day I wanted a specific colour that they didn't have so I ordered it from China and it said it was 80 grams a pack. It looked a lot smaller from what I normally used and came in 10 packs an order total so I got two just in case. I ended up using 18 packs out of the 20 in total (this equates to about 5ish packs of regular braiding hair) and those braids were wayyyyyyyyyy too heavy on my head. Not all braiding hair shows the weight of the hair on the pack but I would suggest to check the weight before getting braids in again. They look AMAZING on you! :)
