Braids are a great protective style for natural hair. You can get cornrows, and they’re great for all types of hair: from thick, kinky curls to fine 2b waves. Braiding your natural hair helps it to grow longer and thicker because it prevents damage during styling, improves moisture retention in your strands and keeps the cuticle intact. However, if you braid your hair too tightly or pull on it excessively while braiding – especially with cotton string or elastics that don’t stretch – then this can cause breakage on your edges as well as in the locs themselves. So is braiding bad for your hair? Well… yes! But only if you don’t do it right! Read below for tips on how to keep those locks healthy while still achieving fabulous looking styles:

Yes and no.

Braiding is a great protective style for your hair. It can also be a great way to grow out your hair, as well as style it in different ways without having to do much at all. Braids can be done on wet or dry hair and there are so many different kinds of braids that you can try out!

So yes, braiding is bad for your hair if you don’t take care of it properly (and no matter what kind of hairstyle you choose). You should always use products like conditioner and oils when washing your scalp every day so that they don’t get too dry while they’re being braided up into knots all day long–that would just make things worse!

Braiding cornrows can damage your hair, but it depends on how you braid them.

The truth is that braiding cornrows can damage your hair, but it depends on how you braid them. Braids are protective styles that keep moisture in your hair and trap dirt and oil inside of them. Unfortunately, this buildup over time can cause breakage if you don’t take care of your natural hair properly.

The best way to prevent any damage from happening is by using products like coconut oil or castor oil on the scalp before getting braids so that they won’t get dry or brittle during styling (if you don’t want to use products every day, try washing off with shampoo once every few weeks). The second best thing would be making sure that whoever does your cornrows knows how important it is for their clientele’s health; if they aren’t willing then find another salon!

The process of braiding can make your natural hair drier, especially if you’re tightly twisting and pulling your hair to form the braid.

It’s important to remember that the process of braiding can make your natural hair drier, especially if you’re tightly twisting and pulling your hair to form the braid. This is because it causes damage to the cuticle (the outer layer of the hair shaft). The result? Dryness and breakage.

Braids are not always bad for your natural tresses–it all depends on how often you wear them, how tight they are pulled during installation, and whether or not they’ve been properly cared for after installation.

If you have relaxed or chemically processed hair, cornrows will pull out the relaxed ends from the root, causing breakage.

If you have relaxed or chemically processed hair, cornrows will pull out the relaxed ends from the root, causing breakage. This is because the relaxed ends are much more prone to breakage than natural hair. This can also happen if you have a lot of breakage in your natural hair.

If you have 2nd-day or dirty hair when you start braiding, that could cause breakage as well.

Braids are not the cause of breakage. If you have 2nd-day or dirty hair when you start braiding, that could cause breakage as well.

You should wash your hair before braiding because it will be easier to get the braids tight and even. You can also braid dirty hair but this will result in more loose ends and knots that need to be trimmed off later on when removing them from your head (when washing).

If you want to braid on 2nd day hair then make sure that it’s fully dry first – otherwise the braids won’t stay together properly!

Braids are a great protective style because they keep moisture in your hair, but they also trap dirt and oil inside which causes buildup over time.

Braids are a great protective style because they keep moisture in your hair, but they also trap dirt and oil inside which causes buildup over time. If you’re going to wear braids for an extended period of time, make sure to wash them out every few days with an all-natural shampoo like our Raw Shea Butter Shampoo or Coconut Oil Shampoo. This will help remove any buildup caused by the braids themselves as well as any excessive oils that may have accumulated on your scalp during the day.

Cornrows are a great protective style – IF you take care of your natural hair properly!

• Wash your hair before braiding. The oils in your scalp will help the braids stay in place, and it’s important to make sure that those oils are there for them to grab onto.
• Use a deep conditioning treatment on dry ends before braiding if necessary (this can prevent breakage).
• Apply leave-in conditioner throughout the braid as needed, but especially where there is friction from tying knots or pulling at the base of each individual strand (or both!).
• Apply heat protectant all over before styling with heat tools, whether that means curling irons or flat irons (if you’re going for straight) so that nothing burns up!
• Braid at night rather than during daylight hours because UV rays can damage strands over time even when they aren’t touching anything else like they would during daytime activities like sports or swimming lessons where there might be chlorine involved too! Also avoid sleeping face down on pillows since this causes unnecessary stress on scalp muscles which could lead them into becoming fatigued faster than usual due to prolonged periods without restful sleep patterns.”

If you’re planning on wearing cornrows, make sure that your hair is well moisturized and clean before starting. Use a deep conditioner or treatment once a week to keep your hair from becoming too dry or brittle. Also try using oil as often as possible when doing any kind of hairstyle (like braids), because it will help keep your scalp healthy!
