Braids!

[Aviah]

The styles I used to do before were pretty simple, didn't have the patience to do more creative and patterned styles. Well I did this time! I'll be doing this more as I'm in cornrows all this winter. Gotta make things interesting!
Tis all.

Lots of practice and multiple mirrors help. I didn't really get to use a mirror in the back of my head last night at my cousins, thus why they're not so straight. But trust me, with patience you can do it!

Very nice, Aviah! You've got mad skills!

Looks great. Bless your hands chile. I couldn't do that on my own head if my life depended on it.

 

[Eritreladiee]

Ok...I think I can see how you divided/did that... hmm... I may try it on my next braid up...

Anyways, it very creative and looks good, thanks for sharing.

And I'm definitely with you on the braiding for the winter. If I come up with something funky, I'll hit u up.

Wow, that's very creative! Looks great, I don't know if I could do that to my own head though.

Looks great Aviah! I used to canerow my own hair, but these days I'm too lazy...

Its more simple than it looks, I promise! Mook I KNOW you can do it, with all those pretty braids I see you doing. I just part from ear to ear and section off the back half. In the front I would part my hair slanted, pretendting like I was going to do the first 1/2 with braids all going to the side, like :
(///////)
However I braid one, then make the same type of parting again as I if I were doing one next to it, but section it off, without braiding it . Thee end result should be this in the front of my head:

(/_ /_ /_ /).

"/" = a cornrow
"_" = hair left out

Then you go back over the sections as if you were doing braids slanted going the other direction:

(\\\\\\\\)


The end results should be (XXXXXX)
Then for the back, just part each braid from where it left off, going straight down (|||||||) and you've got it!
I really hope that made sense!
