I tried making braids as someone who hates wearing them.
Mainly cause I was extremely sensitive as a child and cried even if my mom was extremely gentle, so I never wanted them... And they'd always be too tight for me (is a feeling of tightness even normal when wearing them?)
Either way, I wanted to try out whether I do braid faster than I twist, the answer is NO sadly. And they don't look like I'd hoped for but then again I didn't do them out of love, but hoped efficiency which will turn me back to twists. But my hope is that they hold longer than 3 - 5 days for twists
