levette-go for it girl! Look how mine turned out and not only was this my first time but I NEVER thought I would be able to actually finish my whole head!
ladybug-$240??? Wow. You just made me feel a whole lot better about doing em myself! Girl next time you want braids, dont waste $240 of your hard earned money! Come on down to miami and I'll hook you up for $235.
(kidding!)
Tgirl- Yep, dontspeakdefeat is absolutely right about the boiled water. If I braid my hair half way I sometimes dont even bother with dipping them. I just braid down a little farther than I want them, spray some spritz where I stopped brading them, and when they start to come undone alot I dedicate a day to rebraiding em back down! (once every 2 weeks or so)
