When I had my hair braided in Jamaica my scalp got sunburned. I didn't think to put sunscreen on my scalp.
Hair braiding is a popular and ancient technique of interweaving strands to create intricate and stylish patterns. It is a versatile form of hairstyling that transcends cultures and has been used for centuries for artistic expression and cultural identity. Hair braiding offers countless possibilities, from simple three-strand braids to more complex styles like French braids, Dutch braids, fishtail braids, and cornrows. Braids hair can be worn in various lengths and sizes and adorned with accessories or colorful extensions to add flair and individuality. Apart from being aesthetically pleasing, hair braiding also serves as a protective hairstyle, helping to prevent damage and promote hair growth by minimizing tangling and exposure to external elements. Whether for everyday wear or special occasions, hair braiding is a cherished and enduring art form.
There are lots of streets vendors for hair braiding. It will get it done cheaply there. Just bring your own comb. You don't want to use that comb used millions times before.
This seems like an old post, but if anyone is having the same issue with braided hair (https://www.perfectlocks.com/blogs/all-tressed-up/135594183-create-incredible-braids-using-bulk-hair), always bring sunscreen with you wherever you go. Simply applying sunscreen to the cracks in areas devoid of braids would be sufficient; it works like magic. Your scalp can get sunburned just like any skin on your body. If it happens, treat it by showering in cold water, applying soothing aloe vera gel, and using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners.
