I love my new braids!

[tami73]

Just showing off a bit (as you do!) I finished doing these yesterday after 3 days with plenty of stoppages to feed and change my 8 month old but it was well worth it! I love the colour and I'm aiming to keep them in for 8 weeks with weekly dcing and daily spraying of infusium.

They are just good old ponytail braids, nothing fancy. Any tips on avoiding frizzes? I'm natural 4a.

Ooo they look nice! I'm contemplating getting braids for the summer....but I'm too in love with my natural hair right now!
To combat frizzies, I would say wash your hair with a stocking cap on it and make sure you tie a scarf around them before you sleep.
You did a great job!

Cute! You did a great job! Love the color too!

Ahh thanks!

I like them too. About avoiding frizz, washing with a stocking cap as Christ3n suggested might work. Or putting them in big plaits and focusing on shampooing your scalp and only cleaning the braids as diluted shampoo runs through them, and squeezing gently instead of piling them up on your head and being rough.

Very pretty!

Oh yes! I can't believe I'd forgotten about that! I used to wash in big plaits then immediately afterwards tie a scarf at the front and my hair woud dry flat with no frizzing!
