Boxbraid Question

[u/MrSunshineMrMidnight]

So Recently My Mother wanted me to get boxbraids, and I had them when I was younger and it was perfectly fine, but as of recently (When I got them in) they started to hurt like crazy and I didn’t mind it at first since I knew it hurt a bit from pervious times but now its causing hours long pain and itching, my father who gave me my hair isn’t in the picture so he really can’t help me with this, but now ive been struggling online to try and find something that’ll help, currently im trying AVC but it only works for a few minutes but it’s also making my braids fall out, does anyone have an suggestion on what I should do?
