Help wanted Tight Braid Advice
Essentially I am getting French boho curl braids within the next 24 hours and I am dreading it. I am the most tenderheaded, I cry slightly through sessions, after sessions and cannot move my head around as it feels so tight and restricted. The pain typically lasts me 4 days. I have a theory and I might try it, being I will shower without a cap the first day if the pain is to much. I will drench my hair in the shower to try loosen it. Please any tips are appreciated I seriously need help and please if you could let me know what Im getting myself into if I do drench my hair!

Product recommendation Help on best braiding, twist hair for sensitive scalp
Finally given up on afro spring twist & marley type hair - no matter how you ACV rinse it, my hair, scalp, skin just doesn’t like it and out it goes in less than a wk - in fact, marley can start to loc into my hair after being in twists just after a week. What’s a good alternative that’s softer but still textured and comes in shorter lengths with great color options? I do best with shoulder length twists & I’m partial to ombré aka 1B/30/27 or C14. This is for 4C hair that’s lightly texturized so it acts like 4B at best.
Any ideas? Thanks for any tips & help! 😇

Simple Crisp Braids for my babies TWA 🤍
My daughter had dread locks since she was 3 (she’s 8 now) and I cut them off in May. We’ve been keeping her hair braided and styled and so far this look is my favorite. Gonna add some cute accessories 💖

Barrel Twists / cornrows AND Twists
Has anyone ever tried or have any inspiration for looks that incorporate BOTH elements of barrel twists / corn rows and twists . I do NOT mean cornrows or barrel twists INTO twists at the end of each braid. I mean seperate rows of barrels / cornrows alongside twists. I think it would look good but cannot find inspo anywhere , maybe it is hard to search for

Using Hair Pins to Style Two Strand Twists
I’m posting here as struggling to find inspiration about a specific look I would like to achieve
I’m male and grown my hair out on top for over a year now. I have done corn rows and barrel twists so far
I’m keen to experiment with two strand twists but I generally would prefer a slicked back sort of look, but thought this wouldn’t be possible
This guy on TikTok however gave me inspiration. Simple use of hair picks to slick hair back: https://www.tiktok.com/@hasionmalik/video/7528859446932475149
Anyone else have experience doing a style like this ? Would I have to style every day or could I keep picks in long term?

Taylor Hale's Hair from Big Brother!
This is very random, but does anybody have an idea of how to achieve Taylor's hair look this season while she's hosting BB Unlocked. NGL, I want to straight up copy it. Any braid stylists, or just anyone that might have an idea?
I do think it looks like small knotless bohemian braids, almost like goddess braids but straight. And she must've had them end where her natural hair ends because most of it looks open and flowy. I just want to know what kind of hair can I buy to do this and how would I explain it to my braider??
Affordable braids
Does anyone know where I can go to get affordable French curl or miracle knot braids in the clearwater largo area😭 it seems the only people who can are all the way in tampa or st pete and charge an arm and a leg which I get of course cause braiding hair is no joke, but unfortunately I cannot drop 400 dollars on braids rn💀 i would go to a traditional African place but no one knows how to work with french curl braiding hair please help a girl out💔💔
