Negative aspects of braiding hair too tight

While speaking to Briefly News, Qualified artistic and creative hairstylist Lazaros Sumbane said hair grows from the pocket called the hair follicle, so it is not wise to tighten the hair.

"It is painful because if you pull the hair too tight, the hair will break from the roots and stop growing," he said.

He expressed that people pulling their hair too tight could "hurt" the skin.

"The skin is going to rise inside that follicle, and when it rises, it's going to seal that pocket, and you will not have a follicle. You are permanently damaging the hair and the scalp when you pull it too tight and are most likely to lose your hair."
