Meet My New Protective Style!!

I worked on my hair for approx 16 hours between Friday and Saturday, and here's the results!!

Started out with a fresh wash, condition, deep condition, and blow out

It's long, but it can be longer ;)
  
A few braids in and I'm feeling much more confident

One quarter down and I'm already sleepy...

The back is complete! I'm sure it's after 3a now lol :/

I'm liking it so far!

Fresh face and on bag #5

Only one quarter left to go...I'm missing my loose hair!

Last two braids!! I think it's close to 7p here

DONE!!! DONE!!! DONE!!! I'm delirious but I'm glad to be DONE!!!


Tonight :) Still trying to find a way to wear them lol!


It was a well worth it project, although I went to the beauty supply store way too many times and spent way too much money...not sure how I did that lol!  I used 8 bags of the Equal Freetress Marley braid hair...$5.99-$6.99/bag (between the 2 stores I went to, neither BSS store had everything I needed)...20 pieces per bag...160 braids total.  That's a LOT of hair!!  I thought I was not going to like the hair at first, it seemed rough but then again I'm used to my own texture.  The braids are a bit bulky, and I'm still trying to find a way to style the hair without it looking crazy.  My plan is to keep these end through the end of June, but who knows what'll happen.  I do miss my hair, but my plan is to get a good & professional trim when I take them down.  I didn't do much videoing during the installation because it was hard enough trying to look at myself in the camera and braid straight smh!!!  I did take lots of pics and was able to record some of the important steps. 

So these Kinky Twists are here for a little while...if anyone has styling options for these bulky braids/twists I will be greatly appreciative :)  Hope everyone has a great night!

  1. Aww! You're making me remember how much I miss extension braids. That was my go-to summer style! You did a great job with your hair, by the way. It looks good.
