Long Box Braids aka Booty Braids.. Would you rock them?

[Chameleonchick]

Yes. I prefer to do them as twists. But yes I rock a set of long twists maybe once a year.

 

[WyrdWay]

You ladies gave me the itch... now I might have to go to the BSS

 

[BklynHeart]

I wanted to do some but my isssue is when you have to take them out. I had some long braids a few years ago and it took me a whole weekend to remove them.

 

[BraunSugar]

They are very cute! I am considering braiding my hair like this now...

 

[MsLizziA]

I think it would be too heavy. Other than that it is cute.

I'd maybe consider getting yarn braids that were that length, since those are pretty light. (Plus I'd have the bonus of them looking like extra long locs.)

I agree

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

Yep I sure have and will do again! Braids are so regal to me. There's an elegance about them that I just love.

 

[Whimsy]

I would rock my own hair boxed braided or twisted (probably at all times) if i were past booty length when braided!

I'm mad I opened this and saw these LOOONNGGG arse strands after chopping my own

 

[LoveLongLocks]

Have rocked them, do rock them, and will soon again. I have pics in my albums.

 

[nappystorm]

I get those at least twice a year. They don't come to my butt though probably WL.

 

[cocosweet]

I put some in a few years ago. Very time consuming, but I liked them.

 

[Arian]

I like them...but I would want them as senagalese twists....I want some, but have to find someone who will do them on natural hair w/o damaging my hair in the process...I liked the ones Tasha Smith rocked in Jumping the Broom--was just beautiful!!

 

[Whimsy]

How long do they take to put in?

 

[MyInvisibleChyrsalis]

I am far to clumsy enough on my own as it is. I dont need to slam my hair in the car and get yanked back 4 feet.











...again.

 

[MizzBrown]

How long do they take to put in?

I had mine a little past shoulder length and it took her a 9-4pm shift w/ one 30 min break.

Taking them out? 4 damn days.

 

[keelioness]

Nope..used to rock em back in the early 90' s we called them Dookie braids back then.. lol.. They were cool then..used like 3 packs of kankelon hair. Its a very heavy hair do

That's pretty good timing, imo.

 

[ANUBIS]

gives me a headache just thinking about the weight as well as wash day...

 

[greenandchic]

I love how they look but:

1. It would give me a headache
2. Hard to work out in them
3. Would take forever to get them in
4. Would take forever to get them OUT
5. $$$$
6. Fear of the weight/tension

 

[Ms. Tiki]

I was thinking about putting some thicker ones in this weekend. Still trying to decide...

 

[pink219]

Yes, I'd rock them!! Those are too cute.

 

[cartelise]

I just took some out a few days ago. I want some more but I can't deal with the pain and the heaviness of the braids.

These. I went to the Africans so I ended up paying over $250 and they were extremely heavy and took FOREVER to dry when wet. I couldn't put them up (thickness) so I haven't been to the gym in a month.  Yikes!

 

[cartelise]

How long do they take to put in?

It took mine 5 hours.

 

[Natty_Virgo]

These braids are beautiful, I have been really wanting some lately but I am transitioning so I am scared it will break off my hair.

 

[wednesday]

Absolutely. That's the only way i rock box braids. I'm gonna look for pics.

 

[Kerryann]

lovely how long did u keep them in

 

[**SaSSy**]

Yes, but it's way too long of a process, and too expensive to get done. Just the fact of the time and money I would spend will compel me to wear them for 4 to 6 mos and I don't like to have braids in my hair that long.

 

[Judwill07]

I plan on wearing my hair like Solange, in a bun. But after seeing that video in OT about that lady getting a possible MRSA infection from getting her hair braided I'm a little nervous on where to get them done now.

What is a MRSA infection?

 

[CurlsBazillion]

yep rockin booty braids right now lol

 

[Aviah]

Nope. Not for me.
