I have never stepped foot in the African braiding shop. As tender as my scalp is I'd be in there ugly crying. A grown woman bawling. My scalp gets a little sore even when I cornrow it.

My african braiders was the bomb this weekend. I like how neat it is, but I dont like the super tight look at the hairline either. It looks better after it grows a bit.

OMG, that was hilarious.
I'm so happy after many years of pain and searching to have found a a gentle African hair braider, she has the hands of an Angel.
I remember going to a shop one time and if I didn't know any better I would of swore that Bich took razor blades to my scalp because that's exactly what it felt like. It was not that bad while she was doing it because I would've definitely stopped her. I guess everything was numb at first but about an hour after,I was almost in tears. It was nothing like I've ever experienced. Luckily it was just a beehive pattern so I could wear my wig. I took that mess right out. Never stepped foot in that place again.

I have yet to go to an African braid shop but lawd she told NO lies about Americans. The sitting on the floor, the kids, and the burger breaks, I experienced it ALL when I was younger

I actually laughed out loud in a crowded train when I read the one about braiding the frontal lobe and hypothalamus

Dead @ frontal lobe and hypothalamus
LOL - there are exceptions... I am extremely tender headed and have two african braiders that take care of me. One of them in Pittsburgh, and the other in NJ... Beautiful hair with almost 0 pain! I'll never let anyone else on the planet touch my hair, as a matter of fact when I go home (to Nigeria), I don't even let them do my hair - those people have no respect for my fine 4c strands...

I took mine out after an hour. I tried to cool my scalp down in the shower. I took some Ibprofen..that didn't help. Now I have had them do me before, had them braid my own hair and the exprience was great!Too funny....
I cut mine out the on day two....the pain, the itching, the irritability from not sleeping.., real tears in the shower....lawd

They had me looking like the Predator! I wanted some kinky twists. I have a peanut head. They used all the hair in the shop on my head. And the color she suggested didn't look good on me. Three of them attacked my head. I felt they jumped me in an alley! It was horrible!I am sorry but
They knew they had me looking a mess too! Gave me a free pen and compact mirror I think. That was back in 2000? Their work are in a ton of hair braiding magazines. I thought I was gonna come out looking like one of those pictures! Not!
