I used to go to the hairsalon and spend hundreds of dollars to have my hair done but I soon learned how to handle it and to do my hair myself. I'm so happy to have found the courage to do it because I've been scared for a long time now because of how much hair I have. It was difficult at first but now it has became an amazin and money saving experience for me. This is my blog for hair update every months... Different hairstyles for different experiences ...

First attempt to self made rasta braids

Okay so this is my latest self made hairstyle: rasta braids.
This is the hairstyle I have feared for a long time now. Not only it's extremely long to make, you have to braid the shit till the end and my hair is massive!! Recession is hard lool so I took my courage, and I sat before my mirror to start the braiding. After 5 packs of X-Pression and 8 hours, this is the result.





I was supposed to put the ends in hot water but I never did lool.. I was too tired!! It took me a lot of effort to come to this result with the measuring of the extensions from the bottom to the top, the adjusting of the length everywhere... Ouf that was a lot of work but think God I think I succeeded even though the ends are still not fixed xD. And as usual I had time to take extra pictures in the process ^^


  

As you can see I parted my hair in lines and squares. I did it to be able to follow how I'm going and where I start and finish. It made it so much easier to go throught for me because if I did it in rounds instead I would've never  been able to finish it in 8 hours because when you do it without parting in lines you end up braiding one half of the head and when you turn around you notice that the other half of the head is still not done 
#SMH loool

Thanks for following, more hairstyles to come ^^
