In addition, most braids can be unwound without cutting the hair. It's easier to get someone to help you remove your braid than to do it yourself. If the braid has a large knot at the end, cut just above it. Then unwind the threads. As you unwind, keep cutting the threads short. Some people find it easier to unwind braids while the hair is wet. If the braid is hard to unwind, this may be because hairs have been wound around the braid with the threads; or if you have very fine, curly hair the hair can become caught around the braid over time and make it difficult to unwind.
