Determined to learn! *pics*

[alanaj]

Y'all I am so excited. I have been trying to get the hang of doing my own natural hair. It's been a task cus I have some THICK hair. But I can now say that I can cornrow. I know it's a small thing but it took me a LONG time to get it right and now I was so happy I had to share.
Here's a comparison of my 2nd set of braids to the 3rd. 1st set is in my album but I don't know how to link it...

They look good! I always feel so good when I've mastered something new with my hair.

Practice makes perfect!

You did a great job! I haven't attempted to cornrow my thick natural hair. I just don't have the patience.

Dayuuummm, Girl! You hit the road running!!! Look at you trying to shock us with your creativity...making some of us look bad. Bloody show-off!

Seriously chicca, if you just learned, then I need to retire. You really did an awesome job. Psst...can you 'splain to me on the DL (I'm asking for a friend of a friend ) how you get your lines so straight? 360 degrees mirror? A friend? Voodoo? Any tips would be appreciated...ahem by my friend's friend.

practice really does make perfect

To tell you the truth I stand in front of the mirror in my bathroom (the only mirror in my room) and use a rat tail comb. After about the 3rd inch or so it becomes totally dependent on touch cus i'm just guessing at how straight it might be

thats good , i want to learn... was it easy to learn to do it on your own head?

 

[NikStarrr]

you did a good job. They'll get even better the more you keep doing them.

 

[CenteredGirl]
