So while I have been following along with the T4G challenge I wanted to switch things up and give myself a PS that is a bit more long term. I think I can braid pretty well and have given myself single braids in the past many times, but I wanted to try to do pixie braids for the first time. I knew that it might be a challenge because while I have somewhat dense hair, my type 4 hair is fine to medium (especially at the temples and nape). This has resulted in mini braids that require larger partings/gatherings of hair so my braids don't look as dense or "pixie-like" 
. But, oh well, they are neat and after braiding for two separate nights and in between caring for a sick child, these bad boys are staying in at least one month.
Attached are pics of the top, back, two length shots, and how I'll most likely style them day to day. I'll probably wet them in a few days to weight them so the braids don't curl (that always happens) and so the ends with curl.
Thanks for looking.
