I’m so tight, Trinidad Killa closed his restaurant today 😔 I ain’t even get to eat there yet but was planning on going this week to support 😢 I’m so aggy 😤😤😤😤
Is it normal for extensions to make your hair itchy? Every time I get braids with extensions my hair is super itchy, I realized I was allergic to the braiding hair so if they don’t wash it beforehand it’s unbearable and I have to take it out within a few days.
Idk if this matters but I didn’t grow up using extensions, I started in my late 20s. I used it once when I was 13 and threw up immediately afterwards and never used it again.
I don’t feel the braids are tight most times but they’re always itchy, I typically have to go a few days not sleeping cuz the itching is so unbearable. Idk if it’s the fake hair mixed in with the gel, the gel, or just the fake hair. Nowadays, they act like they can’t part or braid without gel. After the first few days, the itching goes away.
I was on medication & it changed my hair texture several times. After I stopped my texture changed to a dryer less silky easy to grow texture. I cut it bald but my original texture didn’t come back. I’ve become reliant on the braids when my hair isn’t in a puff cuz it’s not long anymore & I’m struggling to grow it back out.
I don’t think the fake braids help grow my hair, my hair really only grows when I do it myself but I can only twist and they don’t look good so I don’t feel confident. I wouldn’t use fake hair at all if my hair was still long but it’s taking forever to grow. I’ve went to doctors, prayed, tried everything but idk.
Is this a normal thing for braids to be hella itchy the first couple days or is this part of the reason my hair isn’t growing and I should let them go permanently & stick to my natural puff and twists?
Pic 1 is an example of styles I get, I like pink
Pic 2 is my current style
Last 2 pics are my puff
I took my 1st Moko Jumbie class in Belmont last week with Kriston, it was an amazing experience. I’m addicted now, I will be walking everywhere on pink stilts 🤪🙃☺️ (couldn’t post the video but I ate that 🤪) Gonna try and join the Brooklyn team 🫶🏿
