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!
