Good to hear the braids work. Yeah, the leaving-out-the
top-and-hairline thing is pretty much the textbook way to do it, so
good job! The rollered curls look lovely, too- maybe Ill actually get
around to curling my hair tonight!
OKay...rollered hair added to album...please keep in mind it was my first attempt, lol.
Katherine...the kinky dreads were installed in the same way as double ended dreads, but I used two kinky dreads per braid. If your hair matches, you cannot even see the braid because of their texture!They are EXTREMELY light and you can get em cheap thru Doc Locks. I think I used 5 bags....
Thanks for the compliments, guys, I've just hot rollered it so you may want to take a peek at the album again in about 10 min when I update it.
Rae...I made the braids about three inches long, and only did 4/5 of my head. When put it up in a ponytail, the front of my own hair is pulled up over it so you really can't even see the braids....I'm really happy with it. My only concern is, how long it will stay in for me. I presectioned my own hair with ouchless bands at the top, and then basically threaded each section of hair thru the top of the little ponytail, braided 3 inches and tied with a rubber band. Worked great!
It is a mixture of the honig, gold, champagne, and fichte.
Here's a hint for seperating the hair that worked for me...I use a portable clothes rack, and hung the hair over it! If there were tangles when I seperated a section,I looped the section of hair over a doorknob , held the top with one hand, and brushed it with the other. Any scraggles I trimmed off the bottom.
Today the colors are much more blended, I will post more pics later :)
