Communicate when necessary to protect your hair.
Once you finally get to the salon and get ready for the long process, make sure you speak up to let the braider know if there are certain areas you don’t want to have pulled tightly. Ask them to leave your edges out or to ease up on places near your hairline that may be thinning or recovering from thinning out. No matter how much they claim your braids won’t look as nice, go with your gut and protect your head.
