r/braids

I swear she braided my thoughts 😂💕

After I saw how much my hair grew from this, I decided to give my scalp a two week break and get back to the braids again :)

I don’t rlly like ordering hair online bc they be scamming but I got this hair from Luvme and I’ve had it in for about a week. I will say this hair is so fullalaa I got 4 packs of crochet but you really could get away with 3 if you want it less full.
As for the maintenance, I’ve just been using water and a brush to refresh it in the morning. I’ll come back and give another update when I’ve had it in for longer. But so far so good!

Ive been trying to dutch braid but my hair is still pretty short so I cant get it into two. Ive been playing around with smaller braids which are super fun & turn out a lot neater for some reason. But I think bigger braids are better suited for my hair type. Any Tips for beginners? Whenever I do less than 4 or five they look so messy and frizzy. they also fall out much faster.

I think that I’m doing them right but honestly, these are so ugly. Can someone please tell me why they are so ugly. They’re not uniform in size or neat at all.

Heyyy girliees! What type of extensions would achieve this look? I don’t think Xpression would achieve it and want to avoid human hair.

What do you recommend?

Hello! What is this technique called?
I’d love some help with the name of the diamond braid in the first image. Is there a tutorial or link someone can share so I can give it a try? Also, I’ve tried to use a round lace (which is too firm as in photo) but even when I’ve tried to do it with a flat lace the X marks go over and under *not above as in the brown photo reference. I’m struggling to figure this out and the source image isn’t good for viewing the details.

Anyone know what this is? How to do it?

Did these a couple of weeks ago. Feed-in cornrows curved up from the hairline into a high ponytail, with honey blonde wrapped around the base.

Curved or straight back, which do you ask for?
