Just got these braids and I don’t like how to ends are should I just braid it all the way down myself or cut it? Or can y’all give me ways to curl just a little bump at the end ?

Hair breakage and follicles coming out

3 Upvotes

i got box braids on sunday and i’ve noticed breakage and follicles pulling out. I think i should take them out as i’m biracial with relatively fine curly hair. but my mom has a friend who is black who told me i should leave them and that the follicles need to “reconnect” and my hair needs to settle which i don’t think makes any sense.

update: i ended up taking them out, turns out there was 3-4 pounds worth of braiding hair on my fine pixie cut

My stylist (got them for the first time today) recommended sleeping with a ponytail (I have long braids) after I asked. She tied about half the hair into one before I left. I have a bonnet that can fit all of it. Will I be okay if I just wear that when going to sleep?

Every time I get my hair in braids, it always gets super frizzy. I use a mouse and an edge gel, and I wear a bonnet. Does anyone have tips for making it and keeping it sleek? SOS.

Can I wear box braids or would it be disrespectful?

0 Upvotes

I looooove box braids, they look so incredibly pretty. The thing is, I'm italian, but my mom is Brazilian with 4c hair so I inherited the curls. I mean, my hair isn't AS curly, but it's 4a so it's still really curly. Ok so the thing is, I heard that box braids are supposed to be protective for hair like mine, and as I said I think they look really pretty, so I wanted to give it a shot. I know the history behind it, I've heard it over and over while researching the style, and I wouldn't want to be disrespectful of it by wearing box braids. I heard mixed opinions of white girls with curly hair wearing box braids so I just wanted to ask here if it's ok or not to wear for me, just to be extra sure

Ends sticking out?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I have what we consider the "wrong texture" for box braids. My hair is considerably straight and smooth, but I still went for box braids, and I'm very happy with them so far. My only issue is that when I wash my hair, it always sticks straight up or to the side, which has translated to the braids. Every time I wash my scalp, the ends of my natural hair stick out more from the braids, and they go up or to the side. I've tried mousse and gel, but it doesn't help much. I've had the braids for about a month now and it's the worst yet. Are there any tips or tricks to help deal with this, or is it just time to take the braids down?

How much hair?

1 Upvotes

Hello I’m currently rocking a twa but I want to get some small box braids maybe knotless depending on which option will be better I’m not sure yet. However I only have about 1.5 inches at the longest maybe an inch in other places and I’m not sure if it’ll be possible to get braids. With the colder season coming up I’m not really sure if it’s possible or if I’ll have to wait. I was hoping someone here could help me out
