Yes the hair is bangin! Look at that shine, it looks silky.

Note to self: You don't even use your maxiglide so you don't need a miniglide.

yarn braids are one of my signature styles. i love how the yarn texture mimics natural hair, and they have a great matte finish. braids done right are truly a great protective style.

i do them myself. the brand i use is red heart, black, 16 oz. giant roll. but honestly, it's whatever i can find at the department store on sale . you can get it from, walmart, ch martin ...

i unravel the whole spool of yarn usually wrapping it around the back hump of my couch. i then cut either end of the unraveled spool. this leaves me with yarn strands that are @ 66 inches in length. i then halve those strands and then cut again. this leaves me with strands that are @ 33 in. in length. these strands i then braid into my hair, two strands at a time -- the same process as synthetic hair. i end up with shoulder length layered braids that are @ 12-15 inches throughout. it takes me anywhere from 8-10 hours on a good day. if i'm in no hurry i take longer. i just pop in some dvds and go. my process yields enough leftover yarn strands for 3-4 sets of braids. the braids last me about two months.

with yarn braids you'll find that they don't kink up like synthetic. if anything they look better, more like locs as they age. i redo them at 2 months because by then my newgrowth is out of control , and and the braids no longer hang right, not because they've kinked up in any way. hth

Do you wash your yarn braids or do you just cleanse your scalp.
p.s you should do a tutorial!
