Thanks Ladies! I love the tree braids because they look more like a style than braided hair.
Let me see if I can describe it. The hair is braided back into cornrows and in the mist of doing so the extension hair is only knotted in and pulled through. Instead of braiding the hair in as with regular cornrows the hair is left hanging out to form a style. I hope that makes sense.
Cat Eyed Cutie, the hair i used is synthetic and it lasts about 2 months. None of my natural hair is left out. It is all braided into cornrows.

Okay "Dont Speak Defeat"
I know how to crochet braid. Is this the same thing?? Cause when you crochet braid. You braid your natural hair in cornrows. Then you take the Prebraided hair, and feed it into your cornrows using a "Crochet Needle"
If this is the same process, and I think it is...I was going to "Crochet Braid" my hair once using the "Loose Hair" like you have, instead of the "prebraided hair" , but I was afraid the "loose hair" would tangle..
Let us know how your hair works out. I am curious to try it again on myself.
By the way..Your hair is beautiful

DSD your hair looks awesome!!!! The style looks like it takes forever! What a new and exciting concept. Maybe I'll try it if i have an extra year-and-a-half of free time.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks! Even though it make look easy to do, it is not. I am a self braider and it would take me a while to master this one before I could wear it in public.
Good Luck to you!

Those are TOO cute. I'm afraid to get my hair done professionally. I always managed to get it ripped out. I want some though.

OMG! SO SO CUTE! What happens when you wash your hair? How does that process go and does the hair pop back into it's wavy state?
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks!
I won't be able to wash as often as I like. The hair stretches out just a bit when wet. When it is dry it goes back to the look in the pic.

DSD,
I told my best friend, but we have questions. Did you get them done in Lithonia? Did she cut your hair into this shape or is this the shape it took on naturally? How do you take care of them? Do you air dry and the curls just return? Can you use spiral rods or other rollers to change the look a bit?
TIA!!!
[/ QUOTE ]
I didn't get them done in Lithonia. I got them done in Decatur. She didn't cut my hair into that shape it just kind of ended up that way. She did cut the back even. I just use braid spray on a daily basis to moisturize. You can change the look if you get it braided with human hair, otherwise you can buy different types of hair to have braided in.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks DSD!!! My friend is going to Atl later this summer and was thinking about getting it done there. I'll PM you when she's ready. TIA!
[/ QUOTE ]
OK!

It's the same concept but no tool is used except the braider's hands. The synthetic hair is added in as the natural hair is braided back into cornrows. So, it is not 2 steps but one. Everything is done all at once.
