I I tied them off with little elastics :) I love braids for summer, they are a little heavy, but, your scalp stays cool and they look great with boho summer styles. I'm all for the ethnic look !

Thanks! Umm I'll see what I can do about blurring my faceout of the front pic that was taken at the same time.
I braided down tothe end of my natural hair and sometimes a little
further. I did the box braids til the natural hair had really
thinned out so some of them have like 8 inches of box braid before I
switched to three way. There are maybe 130? of them total.
Jenny I don't know if I'd want them in the summer Too Hot!
The mermaid hair is 2.5 parts petrol gruen to 1 part royal blau to 1
part grass gruen. I had picked out the petrol and then asked sara
what it was blended from, so the other two are the components.
Jenny. My hair is actually in a big ass (4 inch diameter) pony
tail in the mermaid pic. They actually went somehwere between
elbow and waisst length. If I can get my husband not to be so
silly with the over the top face removal I'll post the one from the
front of the same day. I had about 140 braids with hexagonal
sectioning so they were a little scalpy from the top but I almost
always wore them at least part back or up causs the long straight line
against my face was weird.
Syren the mail man came before I actually crawled out of bed this ?morning/noon? so the PH should go out on Monday.
Just got home from spending the afternoon out with my hair half done
and hiding ina ponytail. Now its time to get back to the install.
Great tip job! Your afters look good, but it's kinda hard to really tell without your face! The mermaid hair is FANTASTIC! It really truly looks like hair a mermaid would have! I love it!
I sent your WaWa today, and put in a piece of Hot Stuff Fusion for you to check out.

I love that colors that you had in your open-ended braids. The dark blue is amazing. What color is it?
I also love the limone undercolor you chose. It looks really cute poking out of your pony tail.
And those tips are immaculate. I have developed an appreciation
for people who can pretip well. This is likely because I have
spent the last few days peeling glue off everything in my house
(including my dog) after my last pretipping attempt.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH *drools over the mermaid braids* what colors are those? I *heart* them!!!
I had a full head of black & red braids up til a couple months ago.
they are so low maintainance once they are in, i love them. if only
they didnt take SO long to install!!!
Me too--the colors are outstanding, and I just love those braids. A lot
of the time, open-ended braids can look a bit sparse and scalpy, but
yours look perfectly thick and lush. What's your secret?
The tips are flawless, and the bangs look gorgeous, too. I wish I could
wear full bangs like that (they look pretty weird with my face shape
though).
I can't wait to see tomorrow's pics!

OKay so I asked my husband to blur my face out and he went a little
over the top and removed everything but the hair fromt he pics but
whatever.
So here are some pics of some tips I made this morning that I'm very
proid of. I had made some very small limone tips a couple of
weeks ago. This morning I added weiss to them. Now all but
a couple of them are on my head.
And then these are with and without my plastikahaar bangs. the flash makes them look much shinier than they are.
And this was my hair until two weeks ago. 'Mermaid Braids'
I went ahead and took some before pics after i gave myslef a hair cut right after taking the fringe pics.
So hopefully tomorrow night I can post before and afters of the newest creation.
