single braid

[naturallyme]

naturals who are 4a or 4b how long was your hair when u was able to make a single braid? i'm asking because i'm still not able to make a decent single braid because i have alot of shinkage especially when my hair is wet and my goal is to wear my hair in a single braid one day. maybe when i get to brastrap length thats when i will be able to do one. i'm just curious to know. thanks in advance.

Oh! I'd love to know this too!

I'd say when it covered my neck, just before shoulder for a low pony.

Yeah shoulder length is about right. But I never braid of any kind on wet hair. I have to braid my hair when it's totally dry.

do you mean stretched or unstretched?

I'm natural and I think I have to wait for middle back lenght to be able to do this because of shrinkage. I'm shoulder lenght.

Apologies Ladylibra, I missed this. Unstretched, because I was talking about braiding a single braid when wet.

I'm natural also, but my hair grows pretty evenly. Maybe that makes a difference, I don't know. Right now I'm a little past APL, but have been able to make a single braid wet since I was barely shoulder.
