Yes! I love the look of locs but i like to change up my hair so often, i couldn't commit to them. I'm going to really enjoy these braids. I plan to keep them in until Christmas...we'll see how it goes

YASSSSS!!! Givin me FACE!! Hotness.

Get some!! At less than $3 a roll of yarn it's a bargin (especially if you can do them yourself). I used 2.5 rolls.

Can you moisturize your hair with no problem? I really want some pigtails but I can't let my hair hang out loose like that.

My hair tends to hold onto moisture really well in yarn braids. I spray them every other day with a glycerine/water mix, S Curl or some other braid spray.

these are beautiful !!! they look like so much like yarn TWISTS and not like braids !!

That's it?! I would have thought it have taken you much longer (like 16 hours). You must be really good at braiding, or I am just not that good. I've done about BSL braids that took 12 hours at my quickest. Looks great on you!

 

[virtuenow]

thanks. can this style withstand washing?

 

[guyanesesista]

We'll see. When i wear 3 strand apl/bsl yarn braids i wash my hair every 2 weeks (It takes forever to dry). I think maybe i try to wash these every 3 weeks. I doubt i'll wash the length of the braids. I'll probably tie the braids up in four loose buns and just lather up the roots. Afterwards i spray with infusium and braid spray and a little oil mix to seal. I've never had a problem with washing yarn braids. My hair is 4b/4c and a few inches past cbl. I don't blow dry my hair before i braid, only stretch by braiding of twisting.

I love them!!!!

Super Cute!

These are so pretty! I have been stalking youtube vids trying to decide between long braids or twists.

PoisedNPolished i really wanted to do long twists with synthetic hair, but i couldn't get the air i normally use without paying huge shipping costs. I love that the yarn is so inexpensive. The only thing i don't like about yarn braids is the take down. That's why i'm keeping these in as long as possible.

 

[BreeNique]

is the yarn alright for your hair? jc

 

[Platinum]

Very pretty! You did a great job!

 

[Rocky91]
