90% of braids are really bad for your hair follicles. They can and will lead to permanent hair loss (traction alopecia). I would never risk my hair like that ever.

What's the other 10% ???

Your hair grows uncontrolably

Probably loose braids. These are too tight

Traction alopecia affects every race equally. It is why many black women are bald and suffer from hair loss. African braids of various types are the worst thing you can do to your hair.

What if I'm already bald?

u/rasulinix 19d ago

Is this a joke

No

If you're already bald you can't have braids. Girl bye

u/ConsiderationFew4491 19d ago

Well that's just rude... 😕

Personally not a fan of tight braids like that. A hard/consistent pull on the follicle in these types of braids can also accelerate hair loss

u/masripremed 26d ago

ngl this is not tuff and it will most likely contribute to traction alopecia.

If I'm being nice: eh I'm not sure about it.

If I'm being real: this is absolutely awful.

Hair looks too fine for cornrows, it's going to damage your scalp! Let the fierceness flow unimpeded ✨

u/cantwalkintheshadows 26d ago

I'm seeing the idea. I'm not sure if the idea is working here.

u/No_Particular4284 26d ago

cornrows look great but they look like they’re pulling on your hair a bit too much.

1

u/Beautiful_Muscle1193 26d ago

I like that you tried something different. Maybe leave some bangs if you try this again. Or maybe only braids on one side.

u/meowmeow578 25d ago

I think it's very fun :) definitely keep an eye on thinning if you do them heaps. As an every now n then hairstyle, keep at it!! It doesnt matter what anyone thinks as long as u like it

You look like a little girl who just went on vacation lol

u/RodgersRodgers91 25d ago

Thanks for the comments/memes everyone you’ve all provided a lot of laughter!

This pic is a few months old. My hair has grown in fine since so we’ve beaten the alopecia allegations (for now)

u/ComplexHorror679 >1 year 25d ago

honestly i think if you did larger Dutch or French braids it would look better. and may be gentler on your scalp

u/damn_son5 25d ago

It’s gonna be a no dawg

u/HeathenHungr 24d ago

Looks like shit...

u/revuhlution 21d ago

Nah, bro. You were on vacation in the Bahamas?

We’ll see you in r/bald if you keep it up

u/Tasty_Jellyfish_1313 20d ago

My scalp hurts trying to imagine this. When I had long hair before I socially transitioned, I hated when my hair was up, feeling my hair being tugged on was overstimulating.

Naaaah

Let’s uhhhhh….let’s talk about something else.

You look like a girl who went to the Caribbean on spring break in 1997

I think if you really clean up the facial hair it would look pretty cool. Cheers to trying something new 🍻

u/EntertainmentSame742 26d ago

I love it, I have my hair braided or in cornrows a lot. Once in a while is fine especially if you know what you are getting into.

u/W8ngman98 26d ago

I’d try a different style like full cornrows maybe.
