I DID IT! my first extension braids

[coolsista-paris]

yup i'l proud! the salon said it would be at least 60 euros (around 75 dollars) , and i said starting from 60 eur!!! so happy i saved money, i took 8 hours. didn't tighten them too much as i want GROWTH and not Breakage.
ok i took long to post but this was done in mid may.

i realize my hair grows well and faster by doing this protective hairstyle so im gonna do these more often ,especially in winter!

you can resize on photobucket. If you hover on the photo on photobucket on the top of the image a bar with options to edit will pop up. The third option from the left is resize, you can either click on it and resize it to your specifications or click on one of the preset sizes that pop up.

Your braids look very pretty, you did a nice job on them.

Great job! They look really good. I'm practicing right now, but I hope to be able to do what you did soon. Do you have any tips or suggestions for beginners?

I plan on redo-ing mine next week and that will be my first attempt at braiding my own hair. I paid $100 for what I have now and I'm trying to save.

You did a good job! Single braids really help me retain a lot of length

any suggestions? hmmm don't put to much extensions on a section you'll make it too heavy for your hair. What else... i put shea butter it was so soft, and i combed each part to make sur im not braiding knots!

always sleep with a scarf. if not you'll see them messy in shorter time.
