Braids are one of those hairstyles that seem deceptively easy but can be a real challenge to actually get right. Not only do they require ... brush to prep the hair and make sure it's knot-free.

In fact, too much tension, glue, or neglect can cause breakage, hair thinning, and even bald spots ... and removing weaves or braids can weaken your strands. How do you salvage the situation?
