Apparently, my first try was in fact a success. I was told that I couldn’t do it, but then out of eagerness to challenge myself, try something new with my hair, and prove a certain person wrong…i did it. took me about, let’s say about 12 hours. I’ve been getting compliments, so it must look good. I wasn’t planning on keeping it for longer than two weeks, but I might just do so now. Supposedly it makes me look more mature. I didn’t want the twists so big, I actually wanted them longer and for my hair to look more full. Supposedly, this actually looks like its my own hair. ?? je ne sais pas. I cut off a few split ends while I was braiding. I found ALOT when i had washed my hair. Apparently, I’m in dire need of a trim. I used Janet, Afro Kinky Bulk…exactly 2.5 packs. (actually wasnt sure I’d even use 2 packs, cuz when i was halfway through I had only used a half of a pack). The hardest part I found about it, was trying to figure out the amount of hair to use on each braid, and the amount of my own hair to part for each braid to get a specific size twist. Even after all I did, I’m still not sure how I did it. thats why if you look real close, you’ll notice I have different sized twists in my hair.
