I've had my hair braided by Africans that was so tight I felt my mood change! I literally felt a darkness creep over me that shocked me! I am not exaggerating, nor being facetious... My head hurt so bad that I felt demon possessed.
+orbit gone crazy I'm VERY tender-headed, so I know I would have cried. I have a friend who is a professional stylist, and she'll remind me that it won't last nearly as long as it could because I won't allow her to pull as tightly as she could. I don't care. I can't take it, even if I do take a pain reliever before I go. :/
Just got braids for the first time today from a professional African stylist. I am feeling this video. I can't sleep, I'm scared I'm gonna wake up bald or with my poor scalp just up and leaving me for a better woman with loose braids on.
I just got mine done yesterday and I feel like they braid my emotions and my personality in these box braids....I can't laugh, joke or live right now. I'm on 2 extra strength Goody powders and a half a bottle of Jamaican Black Castor Oil for my scalp so to resuscitate my life and scalp. Thank you for giving me my first laugh of my new life.
Yeah!! That's how they "get" you! But it will last longer they say! I can get new growth like a mug and I knew they were just too tight after about 2 months, I'm taking them down and some were still just as tight as when I got them done!!! For my hair type, that's just uncommon.
How is she funny when her entire head is braided. Don't talk crap after its all finished and you left the salon. This ain't smile now and talk crap later. These women work hard and can communicate very well. Some speak 2- 5 different languages yet you try to clown them. Just learn to speak up or shut up. Or take your ass to shay stay house and hold her 3 kids and while you get your damn hair braided. The secret is out shut the hell up lady. You not funny
I had the same thing happen at the salon today, the lady was trying her best not to be too tight but my thighs were so sweaty it felt like I was swimming
Lol. I'm Nigerian and as a Nigerian who does hair as well, I know exactly how you feel. I used to be a heavy handed braider as well. As i got older, i started to be more observant about our hair type, its health, taking care of it, etc. Went to cosmetology school and really got into healthy hair.. Growing up in Nigeria, getting my hair braided was painful indeed. it was one of the reasons why I started doing my own hair. Some people aren't fully educated on hair, just as long as it looks good. its sucks.
That moment when you think they’re almost done because there’s just one more tiny section of hair left, and they manage to part and braid about ten more times! In my head I’m thinking “Are you literally braiding on each single HAIR?!” 😳
I'm a African but I agree it hurts so much and when they are ready to do my edges I say I have to do something and I pay them and say I will be back I never comeback.
anomity:3 pseu.donym They did my hair and omfg...this one girl was tight man xD Then they finished my hair and put it up in a pony tail; that's a big no no with fresh braids. I was like... OH LORDDDDDDD STAPHHHHHH!
***** lol am I wrong? 😆LOL!! Girl last time I had braids done I was crying they were passing me paper towels instead of tissues.. 🙄 I GAVE her $80 (for pain) that hairdo lasted 2 days only. 😐
That was the last time I ever will go to them EVER!!!! I've had braids done in 4different occasions and the 2nd and 3rd I went ready with half a vicodin before during and after.. This last 4th time I speak of I wasn't ready I WASNT READY 😱 (I'd forgot what it felt like) this was my last and final goodbye to my dear African ladies ✌🏽️✌🏽
+Amani Winslette hahaha I am Kenyan too,when you go to Kenyatta market,10 women pulling the scalp outta your skull it reaches a point you think they have an evil agenda. And some people take their kids there!!!
They do so good though. But damn they act like your scalp is running away. Like damn you don't need to grab all those little baby hairs. My hair is right here not back in Nigeria.
And to make it worse, after they have stitched your brain vessels together, they then have THE NERVE to gather your hair back into a ponytail. Like you ain't in enough pain, let's completely obliterate blood flow.
I love African people and I love my hair braided but why does it have to be so tight? I just got my hair braided after 2 years and I kid you not, my scalp is falling apart. I have scabs all over my head. I take very good care of my natural hair, so why must they braid so tight? No offense but they never listen to you, so you're better off just keeping your hair as is. Note to self, never again:(
There were 2 braiders in my head at the same time and believe me when I tell you it was cruel and unreasonable punishment. I asked myself, "Why do they hate me? I don't even know them?" You have to dislike a person too braid soooo tight! Then I asked myself, " Why did you sit there and take that torture. Were you under a spell?" 🤣🤣
You forgot the most important one: WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID TO SNEEZE BECAUSE YOU THINK YOUR SCALP IS GOING TO RIP APART FROM YOUR HAIRLINE AND EXPOSE YOUR FRONTAL LOBE.
OMG I GOT MY HAIR DONE BU AFIRCANS AND I TOLD THEM THAT "ITS TOO TIGHT!" SHE SAID "NO ITS NOT TIGHT" THEN LIKE WEEK LATER I FOUND TO BRAIDS OUT MY HAIR!! I HAVE NO EDGES!! Now everyone like "where your edges?"
Vanessa Talkz No ma'am, if it's too tight the braids fall off and so does some of your hair, it looks like your whole face is reclining and you have that whole shiny ass forehead thing going on it's best to braid it looser but firmly and to leave the goddamn edges alone😪
OMG, I'm not one to ever comment on these things, but this is absolutely the most hilarious video I have ever seen! I have been been watching your videos for two days now, but this is the one that started it all. I would pay full price (no coupons) to see you do stand up! Truly talented
🤣🤣🤣 Girl, you got me crying! I had my locs done by Africans and they were beautiful. However, it was so tight it hurt to blink. My eyebrows looked like I was in a forever state of surprise.
As a woman born in Africa, the title of this video first had me offended b/c she wrote THE Africans instead of Africans. For some odd reason, when people add the word "the" before a nationality/country/race/etc it carries negative connotations. I watched the video, laughed, understood that African people collectively have a reputation for tight braiding, but understood the offense people felt a bit. But after going through her videos, I have NO issue with this one. I suggest anyone offended goes through her videos. She's a comedian and makes jokes about EVERYTHING. You'll feel a lot less offended after watching her other videos.
***** Watch her videos! She's hilarious, and she means no harm. She also makes jokes regarding African Americans. She has videos where she does go in at people, but she uses sarcasm and irony. She does so in a way that is not petty. AA and Africans get really sensitive about each other. We need to be able to treat each other with love, respect, kindness, and light heartedness. Everyone getting bent out of shape for no reason.
my advice, as an African (lol) i dont know the pain, as I grew up like this - but my friend who is a hairdresser, when she want someone else to do here hair, she will DEMAND that they *leave here edges out*, so that she can gel them down. EJ this style will most likely break your edges, be prepared to be adding *coconut oil daily* (they will grow back), *but you look cute though :-)*
I always tell women if they want a relatively cheap facelift, go to an African braider, LOL! They'll have your eyes pulled so far up at the corners tears fall down into your ear canals ha-ha-ha!!!!!
This is why I stopped getting my braids done at African braiding shops. Sis when I tell you they was pulling my hair and braiding soooo tight, it hurt so bad lmaooo. The hardest thing to do was going to sleep😂😂😂😂and one of the African ladies didn't smell so pleasent
This video is hilarious lol! I am sure most black women can relate. I got my hair braided yesterday and it hurts so bad. I remember now why I said a few years ago that I would never get my hair braided again.
My first though when I clicked the video was that hair is laid. Little did I know the whole video was about your hair. But at least you got what you wanted because your back still smells like back. lol
OMG. I never thought I would see a parody about this. She is too funny.I have been to 5 different African Braiding Salons. They all have braided my hair so tightly that it was literally coming out at the roots!! White tips all over my head 2 days later!! Again, I've tried 5 different ones. Every single one of them braided my hair to death literally. (remember the white tips I mentioned!!!) Plus my scalp did some weird twitchy thing that hurt too. It hurt to lay down yall! Now I realize they can't all be this way. Maybe it's the country in Africa they come from, but I personally steer clear of African Braiding Salons now. I've given them plenty of chances. Too many! They do an excellent job braiding my hair. However, they have not respected my requests to: Not braid so tight-and not to braid baby hairs at the nape and temples. They all ignored me and did it anyway. One of them had the nerve to joke about how many customers she lost because she braids too tight. She then recommend that I take a painkiller for a few days afterwards. SMH. That's just bad business. That was the last time. Traction Alopecia is real. It's the #1 type of Alopecia in black women. It comes from tight hairstyles. Alot of times it can be permanent. This is why women should be critical about how their hair is braided. Braids can last a long time if properly cared for. They don't need to be painfully tight. I've found local salons with hair braiders. I have never had an issue with tight braids since I've stopped going to African Braiding Salons. Perhaps some of us Americans are more tender headed compared to our African sisters. My scalp just can't take it, lol. Sorry. This is not intended to offend any African sisters. I'm just sharing my experiences. Hopefully some will understand how we feel and take it a bit easier on us.
Girl, I feel you! The pain literally puts yr brain on hold! Hope you never get such a braider again. But in case you do, and she wont LISTEN to your complaints of pain, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, text a friend, ask her to call you. Fake an emergency call & get the hell out of there! If you must pay the braider (for UNFINISHED hair-do) then do so. Forget the money! Get out in ONE piece!
"I lost partial hearing". Too funny! I got my hair braided one time, came home and told my daughter I couldn't breath. She told me I was being overdramatic. So, I tried to calm myself by Lying down to nap for a while but soon after falling asleep, I jolted out of bed 'cause I thought the reaper was coming to get me. 🤣. Needless to say, I quickly took them thangs out and no qualms about doing so. Yes, some braiders grip so tightly it should absolutely be a criminal offense punishable by 5 years imprisonment and $10,000 fine or both. 🤣
My niece had her hair braided by Africans. It was so tight it look like her eyes was pulled back. And when she took her braids out she had no Edge. That's the whole point of a protective styling to protect. Not damage and lose edges in the process.
lmao for the past 2 hours, I've been clicking on your videos, yawning, fighting sleep, eyes burning, saying, "Ok, this is gonna be the last one, tonight, fr this time.... ok ok one more!" 20+ videos later, I'm going to sleep w a smile on my face hahaha!!! More to catch up on, tomorrow!
Listen am Jamaican I love braids but they always hurts my head I get headache's, but I looks great anyone who gets braids knows u will be in pain at some point plus African's brsid in think the best that's how kn do it 2them its normal so big up 2them
My nape on the right side of my head was permanently ripped (over 20 yrs ago)from my scalp (heard it inside my head as it was being done). Never grew back! Thanks African rush job!
I just went through this Thursday and my head is still sore and I cried actual real tears and all she said was it hurt that bad. Ummmm would I be crying this bad like someone shot my pinky toe if it didn't. I said God yes. It was as if I said nah I'm just giving natural birth a full grown lion. Sigh I feel your pain literally. Love your videos.... You guys are awesome. ❤❤❤
Girl.... I was NOT prepared. You are HILARIOUS! Absolutely hilarious. I was just looking up videos because I'm thinking of getting my hair braided. I did not expect to be laughing like this and waking everybody up tonight. Loved the video!
Just got braids and i thought i was the only one in the world was going thru this pain. I didn't know it was going to hurt and be so uncomfortable. I did not sleep last night and i don't drink but i had to drink some jack danielle....lots of it to try and knock me out to get some sleep this morning. What can i do to prevent the little edges i have left? Is tea tree oil and caster oil good for that?
WTF dont people tell them to loosen up?? I do this all the time. I tell them, it is too tight. Once I undid a braid and had her redo it! Come the fuck on.
Roughly 16 years ago I got my hair professionally done also by Africans. Throughout the process; which took around 6 hours, I kept saying you’re doing them too tight, it hurts. It didn’t matter and she just kept braiding the same. I was going on vacation to Florida and didn’t want to have to do my natural hair while away. After paying (and yes, I even tipped her cause it looked fabulous) and leaving the shop, on my way walking home I started to unbraid my just done hair. I couldn’t take it. That was my first and last time getting my hair professionally done. Whew, trembling with the memory.
Am sorry my dear. Am in Ghana and i was born here and all the Ghanaian Girls go through this. I have many times and i dnt want that experience again trust me. this is why i searched and found your video. Infact am sorry for you. i have been without braids for almost a year and now that am thinkin of getting one, here a i am dreading the pain i may go through the next time. hmmm. Well i wish i had a shop then o wont braid hair so tight. You are very right in your description of the pain you feel. The last time i asked them why braid so tight, they told me they do it so to make it last longer so doesnt come off. mostly when i braid, almost all the hair on my edges goes off along with the strands and hair. i will have to wait so long before my hair grows back. hmmm.
I'm crying laughing... mostly from the pain of these braids I had done at the African hair salon. This woman is so telling the truth. I can't even sleep the pain is so intense and uncomfortable!😭😰
Them Africans don't give a DAMB, your scalp is going to get snatched back!!! I took Advil, Tylenol, warm towels, and don't shit take away the Pain!!!!! Skip these painful cute hairstyles!!!!
I've had my hair braided by Africans that was so tight I felt my mood change! I literally felt a darkness creep over me that shocked me! I am not exaggerating, nor being facetious... My head hurt so bad that I felt demon possessed.
+Alisha Simms Oh, my gosh! That's a scary situation! :O

run some hot water on your scalp and slowly massage it. It will make a huge difference

Jamaicans don't braid as tight but it still looks great

I'm so lucky lol... My African lady doesn't braid tight at all and is so neat!
"They're braiding african secrets in my hair"
"I don't want ur african secrets" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

How to escape. An African secret.
How is she funny when her entire head is braided. Don't talk crap after its all finished and you left the salon. This ain't smile now and talk crap later.

Lol. I'm Nigerian and as a Nigerian who does hair as well, I know exactly how you feel. I used to be a heavy handed braider as well. As i got older, i started to be more observant about our hair type, its health, taking care of it, etc. Went to cosmetology school and really got into healthy hair.. Growing up in Nigeria, getting my hair braided was painful indeed. it was one of the reasons why I started doing my own hair. Some people aren't fully educated on hair, just as long as it looks good. its sucks.
My mom braided my hair with weave a few times in my life I felt like she was braiding my eyeballs in my scalp like damn
"They braided my brain as well." OMG, I can't! LOL
Cookie Miller OMG ITS SO TRUEE THO
LMAO "Dude these are my edges!"
"NO, THE AFRICAN SECRETS"💀💀💀💀
That moment when you think they’re almost done because there’s just one more tiny section of hair left, and they manage to part and braid about ten more times! In my head I’m thinking “Are you literally braiding on each single HAIR?!” 😳
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
FRR😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
Yaaasss, like how you keep finding hair on my head?! 😄
Got a funny picture in my head when she said she was screaming for help and they just kept braiding ......😂😂😂
The Jam and Berries that took me out 😂😂😂😂
Me too😂
Yea I felt like I was dying
"I don't want my back to smell like a pap smear when I'm done."
Omg. Dead.
I'm a African but I agree it hurts so much and when they are ready to do my edges I say I have to do something and I pay them and say I will be back I never comeback.
i know this comment is 5 years old but it's underrated af that is so funny
I love this lol
I shouldn't have to be screaming with agony in attempt to succesfully put my hair up in a "ponytail" okay.

They braided my thoughtsl...yup my thoughts...smh...to the point to where I couldn't even form a prayer for relief
i feel you. i paid 200+ for larger box braids. they were so tight I couldn't blink. i took them down the same night. never again. i'll do my own.
Same here ! After a hour of paying 200 I was in serious pain and tears. I had to remove them the next day.
Same!!! I had to take them down the same night and I spent 200!!! Never again.
That's criminal
Me Too the same night
Me too! That’s that pain where you don’t even care about how much money you’ve spent. It’s not worth it to be honest.
Braid your hair like they are weaving baskets !

India Ruff lmfao
India Ruff if she don't want braids do crochet

Vanessa Talkz No ma'am, if it's too tight the braids fall off and so does some of your hair, it looks like your whole face is reclining and you have that whole shiny ass forehead thing going on it's best to braid it looser but firmly and to leave the goddamn edges alone😪
Yo it like they don't see those video

she is too funny I don't want my back smelling like pap smir
"I want my back to smell like back"... I'm in tears! My neck and my uterus literally hurts from laughing 💀

I was dying throughout the video😂😂😂💯
Nikki Marie ME TOO
Nikki Marie riiighttt
One time it got braids and my scalp was bleeding!!! I just don’t understand why? This is abuse. 🤣🤣🤣
Yea I felt like I was dying
This is why I've never had braids. Went through enough having my hair & scalp burned off getting relaxers. I do my own twists & keep it moving.
This is one of the reasons why I don't get braids anymore
All the dislikes are from the African Braiders who go by the African Secrets! 😂 This mad me LMAO!😂😂😂
“She was like nope, nope and I was like, but ma’am! and she’s was like nope🤣🤣🤣😜

The braids look great though..
"I need my thoughts..."Deading! LOL!
This says parody. It's obviously meant to be funny. I laughed hard, thank you for that.
african secrets???😂😂😂 ive never heard that from an afican hair dresser in the 16 years ive lived so far
Gwen MarieStella they don’t listen!! 😭 plus the hard part is the tighter u braid it the longer it lasts 😭
That’s why I take some Advil or Tylenol before I go lol 😂

They all ignored me and did it anyway. One of them had the nerve to joke about how many customers she lost because she braids too tight. She then recommend that I take a painkiller for a few days afterwards. SMH. That's just bad business. That was the last time.
Traction Alopecia is real. It's the #1 type of Alopecia in black women. It comes from tight hairstyles. Alot of times it can be permanent. This is why women should be critical about how their hair is braided.
Braids can last a long time if properly cared for. They don't need to be painfully tight. I've found local salons with hair braiders. I have never had an issue with tight braids since I've stopped going to African Braiding Salons. Perhaps some of us Americans are more tender headed compared to our African sisters. My scalp just can't take it, lol. Sorry.
This is not intended to offend any African sisters. I'm just sharing my experiences. Hopefully some will understand how we feel and take it a bit easier on us.
I've never been this weak in my life I'm literally crying watching this, she needs way more views on this video for it to be these funny
Girl, I feel you! The pain literally puts yr brain on hold! Hope you never get such a braider again. But in case you do, and she wont LISTEN to your complaints of pain, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, text a friend, ask her to call you. Fake an emergency call & get the hell out of there! If you must pay the braider (for UNFINISHED hair-do) then do so. Forget the money! Get out in ONE piece!
"I lost partial hearing". Too funny! I got my hair braided one time, came home and told my daughter I couldn't breath. She told me I was being overdramatic. So, I tried to calm myself by Lying down to nap for a while but soon after falling asleep, I jolted out of bed 'cause I thought the reaper was coming to get me. 🤣. Needless to say, I quickly took them thangs out and no qualms about doing so. Yes, some braiders grip so tightly it should absolutely be a criminal offense punishable by 5 years imprisonment and $10,000 fine or both. 🤣
As an African myself, I approve of this message
My niece had her hair braided by Africans. It was so tight it look like her eyes was pulled back. And when she took her braids out she had no Edge. That's the whole point of a protective styling to protect. Not damage and lose edges in the process.
lmao for the past 2 hours, I've been clicking on your videos, yawning, fighting sleep, eyes burning, saying, "Ok, this is gonna be the last one, tonight, fr this time.... ok ok one more!" 20+ videos later, I'm going to sleep w a smile on my face hahaha!!! More to catch up on, tomorrow!
This will forever be a classic! To this day, every word still holds true 😭
Listen am Jamaican I love braids but they always hurts my head I get headache's, but I looks great anyone who gets braids knows u will be in pain at some point plus African's brsid in think the best that's how kn do it 2them its normal so big up 2them
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
talk like you have some kind of training! I can't understand ya'all!!!! HaHaHaHa
People still can braid without braiding so tight. I know when I braid my own hair it doesn't hurt and it still looks neat. It can be done...
The are 54 countries in Africa...it depends on the hairstylist not the continent of origins
truthandbible it may look neat but it wont last. If u have thick hair they gotta braid it tight so it last
"No the African secrets" I'm deceased💀
Girl! You ain't got no lawsuit. You got a free facelift! 😆
Kmsl
😂😂I hollered at this comment..kmsl
My nape on the right side of my head was permanently ripped (over 20 yrs ago)from my scalp (heard it inside my head as it was being done). Never grew back! Thanks African rush job!
I just went through this Thursday and my head is still sore and I cried actual real tears and all she said was it hurt that bad. Ummmm would I be crying this bad like someone shot my pinky toe if it didn't. I said God yes. It was as if I said nah I'm just giving natural birth a full grown lion. Sigh I feel your pain literally. Love your videos.... You guys are awesome. ❤❤❤
Girl.... I was NOT prepared. You are HILARIOUS! Absolutely hilarious.
I was just looking up videos because I'm thinking of getting my hair braided. I did not expect to be laughing like this and waking everybody up tonight. Loved the video!
I just did the same thing!😂😂😂
Thank you for the laughs. I'm crying with laughter. Know that your pain has at least brought some joy to the world.
See everyone thought I was being dramatic. But seriously I had to talk myself out of passing the hell out. No lie it was crazy
I’m still watching this in 2020 and HOLLERING!!!
The African secrets! I can't breathe! 😂😂😂😂
"African Secrets" had me rolling
lmaooooooo this is hilarious!!! I never got my hair braided by Africans but I heard the horror stories
me either.. learned that lesson yrs ago had hair loss, hot itchy red scalp and lost 250 bc I had to take them out the very next day
Just got braids and i thought i was the only one in the world was going thru this pain. I didn't know it was going to hurt and be so uncomfortable. I did not sleep last night and i don't drink but i had to drink some jack danielle....lots of it to try and knock me out to get some sleep this morning. What can i do to prevent the little edges i have left? Is tea tree oil and caster oil good for that?
ohhh guurrll #INSTANT FACELIFT...been there! and let us not forget the edges..LAWD😂😂
WTF dont people tell them to loosen up?? I do this all the time. I tell them, it is too tight. Once I undid a braid and had her redo it! Come the fuck on.
man if I undo one ok its going to fell good and just might take um all out cause that one tight tight braid that felt good when I took it out
I just got my hair done Tuesday and I told the braider not tight and she still didn't listen. They do what they want to do
How bout you tell them not to braid your hair tight? I got my hair braided by Africans and I ended up fine because I told them to not do it tight.
I just got my braids done again and they braided it tight I understand now
+LPSmoviez 😭😭😭😭
HAHAHAHAHA
LPSmoviez AHAHAHA
LPSmoviez thats so funny IT DOESNT WORK THAT WAY
Roughly 16 years ago I got my hair professionally done also by Africans. Throughout the process; which took around 6 hours, I kept saying you’re doing them too tight, it hurts. It didn’t matter and she just kept braiding the same. I was going on vacation to Florida and didn’t want to have to do my natural hair while away. After paying (and yes, I even tipped her cause it looked fabulous) and leaving the shop, on my way walking home I started to unbraid my just done hair. I couldn’t take it. That was my first and last time getting my hair professionally done. Whew, trembling with the memory.
‘They braided my brain.’ Dead.
Am sorry my dear. Am in Ghana and i was born here and all the Ghanaian Girls go through this. I have many times and i dnt want that experience again trust me. this is why i searched and found your video. Infact am sorry for you. i have been without braids for almost a year and now that am thinkin of getting one, here a i am dreading the pain i may go through the next time. hmmm. Well i wish i had a shop then o wont braid hair so tight. You are very right in your description of the pain you feel. The last time i asked them why braid so tight, they told me they do it so to make it last longer so doesnt come off. mostly when i braid, almost all the hair on my edges goes off along with the strands and hair. i will have to wait so long before my hair grows back. hmmm.
"they braided my brain" 😂😂😂💀
I'm African and that's how I always get my hair done so I know how you feel. I just take some painkillers and move my head as little as possible.
😂😂😂😂😂😂" she braided my brain too"
Bro she said they braided her brain!!! Im dead💀😂😂im done with this woman😂😂😂
just had my done , my temples are still pulsating :( but you made me laugh so hard it hurts even more :(:)

"They braided my brain" 😂😂😂
I'm crying laughing... mostly from the pain of these braids I had done at the African hair salon. This woman is so telling the truth. I can't even sleep the pain is so intense and uncomfortable!😭😰
I have never laughed this hard. The comment kills me even more
Them Africans don't give a DAMB, your scalp is going to get snatched back!!! I took Advil, Tylenol, warm towels, and don't shit take away the Pain!!!!! Skip these painful cute hairstyles!!!!
