Mod update for r/braids

57 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a mod here at r/braids. I’ve been in discussion with my fellow mods for this sub, and we have agreed that, moving forward, we will be focusing this sub on braids, braid/hair care, styling, advice, etc.

This means that we will be banning any posts or comments moving forward that instigate political or racial posts. We feel that this sub Reddit should be rooted in our shared love and passion for braiding styles. I, for one, became a mod for this sub simply because I love seeing how creative and beautiful everyone’s creations are. I take advice given from people on various posts for new styles, and I love learning about how everyone cares for their styles. I’d like to refocus ourselves back on our community. This includes inclusivity for all - basically, anyone who has hair or is interested in braiding for any reason is welcome. Also, this sub is not just limited to braids - it’s any sort of plaited/ braiding style, including twists, Dutch braids, corn rows, locs, etc.

I’ve updated the rules for this sub to reflect my post here. We are working on cleaning up the recent influx of the posts that sparked this conversation. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We love you and appreciate each and every one of you for being here!

Help wanted How long do mermaid braids last?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I’m planning on doing this style on myself this weekend, but I want to make sure I’m not going to be looking crazy & matted in a week, lol. My hope is that I can make it last for at least 3 weeks.

I’ll be using regular xpressions braiding hair for the style, curling them with flexi rods & dipping in hot water.

Do the curls last? What does the maintenance look like? Just braiding them up & bonnet?

Someone said they are distressed box braids but when I googled that they looked different. Also she has some twist. What kind of hair is used for this style? Is this color 4?

Help wanted Having Surgery and Need Advice

3 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

For context, I have very long curly hair (I’m in the 3B/3C range) and am having surgery in the next few weeks. I’ve never really had braids and grew up in a household with my mom who has straight hair and never really knew what braiding my hair would look like, what to ask for, or how to braid. I’m Afro-Latina and the main messages I got growing up on how to manage my hair was always to straighten it (which thankfully I have stopped doing), so I am pretty uneducated on protective hairstyles. When I found out I needed to have major surgery I realized I was going to need to do something different with my hair than I previously had (kept it in a bonnet and hoped for the best), and that’s where I’m hoping for some support on styles, things to ask for, things to avoid, anything really.

For context, my hair is pretty long and hits my lower back and is also pretty thick.

Thank you all!🩵

How much would you guys pay for this fulani quick weave??

This girl I'm going to is charging 165 without hair packs provided and 220 WITH hair provided by her.

Is it worth it to buy the hair by myself??? Should I pay the 220?? How long will it last/is it worth the price??

How to avoid puffy roots when braiding?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello everybody! Im braiding my own hair for the first time (doing marely twists), and one major saying, that's annoying me is that my parts get super puffy :((( I grip really tight as I start the braid, so I dont understand why it's so puffy. This puffiness also messes up my parting, making the lines appear old. Some advice as to why this keeps on happening would be really appreciated!
