I received the infamous "Braids by Breslin" DVD and watched most of it last night. I really want to learn how to do my own kinky twists (thanks to LondonDiva and sareca!
) & cornrows. I hope to do a modified version of the Crown & Glory method. Also, I've never had braids before, so it would be a nice styling option.
So, those of you who do your own braids or twists, would you mind sharing your tips for us new to the braiding world? For example, what types of hair would you recommend for kinky twists?
For kinky twists, ive used synthetic 100% kanekalon...dont rem the exact name...just make sure when u buy it,,,that it is braiding hair and not weave-in hair.
How often do you wash your twists?
once a week
What braid spray do you recommend?
i use parnevu tea trea braid spray mixed with rose water, a little NTM deep CON and scurl
How long did it take you to braid/twist your hair?
about 8-9hrs
Happy braiding, ladies!
(P.S. - Hope this helps, crlsweetie!)
