Answer:

Look to Explanation

Explanation: The cause of the hairball could be the type of brush you used to brush them out, if they're installed incorrectly, they're too heavy, or they're left in for too long. I would recommend using a protein-infused deep conditioner or a protein-rich pre-shampoo for protein. Make sure to let your hair breathe in between braiding, and deep condition your scalp and hair after your braids. Hope this helps!
