Why do my braids start itching after a few days?

Every time I get braids, my scalp starts itching after just a few days. I don’t know if it’s the hair, the tension, or something else. Why does this happen, and how can I stop the itch?

    Hi there, the itchiness is often due to scalp dryness, tight braiding, or residue from synthetic hair. Try soaking the braiding hair in apple cider vinegar before installation to help remove irritants. This should relieve the itchiness.
