I DID IT!! I did Crochet Braids!

[honeycomb719]

Not to bad for a 1st timer if I say so myself. It took me quite some time. I did the base yesterday. Being that my hair is so short, I needed to add hair to make braids stronger. That was a journey in itself, being that I didnt know how to cornrow w/ added hair.
Started the crocheting FreeTress GoGo Curl (Couldnt find Water Wave) at about 12:30p, and just finished at around 7:30p. I took serveral breaks to tend to my daughter, put her down for nap, and start and finish dinner. But, I perservered!

I have other pics of how I did the base, and some progression pics as I went along. Im tired and too lazy to post them now, but I will if requested.
Those ladies on youtube was my inspiration (Toyvoices, blkbutterfly to name a few)..

Thanks everyone!!

You did a great job. I want to get crochet braids. I don't even know how to cornrow.

How long do you think you'll keep them in your hair?

Very nicely done, I prefer the look of this hair to the water wave as well.

 

[nikolite]

I like it! Good choice of hair too! Did you have to add gel or any product to each piece?

LOL, this was the HARDEST part for me. I just figured it out some how, I had never done cornrows before. I saw it done a trillion times tho. I still have SOOOO much room for improvement.
