Just curious, how much hair do you all lose when you go to the salon to get it braided or to get a weave done? Whether you are eyeing the comb as she makes her parts or you see the shed hair on the floor. Does it ever alarm you? Do you feel you could experience severe breakage from this? Thinning of hair? Loss of length?
ETA: Loss of hair from her use of combing through your hair and making parts only. Not from the take-down process of the braids/weaves, or if one fails to take care of the hair underneath.
If you're talking about when they braid my hair up, I'm never alarmed (first she comes to my home so I'm not at a salon so I can get a good look as I'd see it on my floor). None really or else I wouldn't be using her. See my pic below (last reveal was jan 2011 the right pic and I was so tired after blowing out my whole head and proceeding to straighten a section that I promptly gave up and braided the whole thing up), no hair loss
Infact sometimes I wanna buzz it because of the density but when I'm feeling crazy I get it in a protective style until I cool off cause I know I love my hair (even though it makes me
at time).
I always make sure to detangle before hand and btw I've had a couple weaves after two years of consecutive braiding I needed a change. I make sure to take them out myself. I don't think anyone will care for my hair like me and take the time to detangle knots, etc. So during that take down there is hair loss but we're talking from shedded hair, not broken hairs, etc. I take real care to preserve the hair and not break it. Also when I'm having my braider over to either braid or weave it for a change of pace, she's really gentle and knows what I like so no probs there.
