It can, since you need a little bit of tension and pressure to wrap your hair into braids. The good news is that braiding your hair can actually protect it, since it's not flowing freely which can lead to tangles or knots. Overall, there isn't really any serious risk to braiding your hair and you shouldn't see a ton of negative side effects from braiding your hair. Just don't overdo it on the product and don't tie your braids so tight that they cause you pain.

I have had curly hair all my life, and have hated it! My friends and family always tell me my hair looks amazing, but I don't think so! How can I style my hair so it's less big?

Pull it up into a bun, or a low bun, or try two french braids. These styles can help to minimize the volume of your hair without too much work.
