🚨 STOP BRAIDING SO TIGHT! 🚨
Tight braids are not a sign of a skilled braider—they’re a sign that too much tension is being placed on the scalp.
If your client leaves with:
❌ Painful bumps
❌ Redness
❌ Headaches
❌ Tenderness
❌ Sore edges
…it’s time to change your technique.
As professional braiders, our goal is to create styles that are:
✨ Clean
✨ Secure
✨ Comfortable
✨ Long-lasting
✨ Healthy for our clients’ natural hair
Healthy hair should always come before tight braids. ❤️
