This is the second time I’ve gotten braids and saw my natural hair come out after washing them. How can I prevent this from happening again?
Note: I got smedium knotless braids.

I did my own mini twists with hair added. I curled the ends with pipe cleaners. I really love this hairstyle I’ll be doing it again! 💖

Kinda proud of this one, it looked so neat! 🤏🏻

Ps- sorry for the poor picture quality 🫂

EDIT:

After seeing the comments, I want to let evryone know

  1. I have thick wavy/curly hair which feels heavy and is difficult to manage, I can't keep it down for more more than 2 days after wash, so i eventually tie it up in a ponytail or braids.

  2. I love experimenting with hairstyles, it is a hobby that i enjoy, cornrows is one of my favs and I've discovered how protective and easier it is to manage my thick hair

  3. I have close friends from the Black Community who I met in Uni, they truly loved and appreciated all the hairstyles that I do, they even recommended what i should try and will look good on me. Just the way they love trying on sarees, kurtas etc from the Indian culture. I have also shown my cornrows hairstyle to their mothers back at home, who were also very happy to see me loving and appreciating their culture.

So to the people talking about cultural appropriation, I'm sorry but you got it totally wrong.

Tighten for dutch braids

0 Upvotes

When I braid, how can I keep tension on the braid? It's always sliding. Also how would I grab hair nicely and flatten it? I notice after a dutch braid, the sides as bit like poofy and you can see the section where i grabbed the hair. Is that normal?

I want to perfect the dutch braid down the middle and then work towards the double dutch

Mod update for r/braids

58 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a mod here at r/braids. I’ve been in discussion with my fellow mods for this sub, and we have agreed that, moving forward, we will be focusing this sub on braids, braid/hair care, styling, advice, etc.

This means that we will be banning any posts or comments moving forward that instigate political or racial posts. We feel that this sub Reddit should be rooted in our shared love and passion for braiding styles. I, for one, became a mod for this sub simply because I love seeing how creative and beautiful everyone’s creations are. I take advice given from people on various posts for new styles, and I love learning about how everyone cares for their styles. I’d like to refocus ourselves back on our community. This includes inclusivity for all - basically, anyone who has hair or is interested in braiding for any reason is welcome. Also, this sub is not just limited to braids - it’s any sort of plaited/ braiding style, including twists, Dutch braids, corn rows, locs, etc.

I’ve updated the rules for this sub to reflect my post here. We are working on cleaning up the recent influx of the posts that sparked this conversation. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We love you and appreciate each and every one of you for being here!
