Contemplating C&G method, please post your braids pictures

[Gemini350z]

Hi Ladies,

I am contemplating on trying the crown and glory method. Right now I am stretching until December 15, and at the moment my hair has a lot of newgrowth, and I am having a problem managing it. So I figured braids might be a good way to go.

If you have any pictures of your braids can you post them, this will be my first set ever, so I am not very familiar with the different styles.

TIA

This year I did C&G with kinky twists. I've probably had them in every color under the sun, but black is always my favorite.

Oh those are pretty, Senegalese Twist are those different then regular braids?

Are they really tight around your edges? Can you get them done thicker?

Sorry for all the questions, I am a newbie when it comes to braids.

Oh those are pretty, Senegalese Twist are those different then regular braids? Thankx! Yes they do differ from regular braids because instead of braiding the hair you twist it.

Are they really tight around your edges? No, the girl who did them made sure they werent too tight. She even said that she was going to do the hairline looser than the rest of my hair. I dunno if you can see it but on some parts of my edges she braided the hair in (instead of twisting it) so that it would hold better and not slip/slid out.

Can you get them done thicker? Of course you can but I don't like this particular style when the twist are too big.

Sorry for all the questions, I am a newbie when it comes to braids. No problem. I don't mind the questions at all. That's what we are all here for

6-8 hours I'm usually dying to get out of that place. They play really loud obnoxious music and the seats are terribly uncomfortable.

I might as well post it here for everyone to see also...

They are very light compared to regular box braids and the time to take the out was half the time it takes to remove single braids.

Yes you can still do the C & G method with these but I preferred to wash them every 2 weeks with a shower cap on instead of every week.

And i used the Dana Cali Kanekalon braiding hair to do these twist.

What is used to keep them from unraveling at the ends?

Some people use nail glue, but i personally just put the ends in warm/hot water for a few minutes and air dry...works like a charm

HTH

 

[shynessqueen]

My new set of braids is in my sigg.

 

[Gemini350z]

Very pretty shyness, i decided to go the sew-in route rather then braids, I just know I wouldnt have been able to sit still that long to get them done.
