Don't be afraid to tell your stylist that your braids are too tight! As a paying customer, you should be comfortable with your style, so speak up as soon as you notice the braids are too tight. Don't wait until the stylist completes all of your braids -- inform them right away so they can correct the problem. One comment to a stylist is all it should take to get them to loosen up their braiding style. If you inform your stylist that the braids are too tight but it continues to be a problem, don't return to that person for future braids. Research other stylists in the area and book an appointment with someone new. Look for customer reviews of the stylist you have in mind to see what others are saying about their techniques. Putting your braids up on top of your head in a bun or other updos can increase tightness, especially right after you've had them done. After getting your hair braided, wear it down for a couple of days to avoid added tension on your scalp.  Try letting your braids hang loosely around your shoulders. If you want them out of your face, tie your braids back gently in a low ponytail. Use a loose hair tie made of fabric and avoid rubber bands. Though you may have spent a hefty chunk of change getting your hair braided, if they are way too tight and are causing you pain, the best solution is to remove them. You can take them out yourself or go back to the hair salon and ask your stylist to take them out. Let your stylist know that they are too tight and are causing you pain.
