Hi!
How can I make my braid look larger? I have very thick hair, but my braid is tiny..! Help?

Pancake it. :) If you wonder what that is, watch some YT videos by cutegirlshairstyles!

You could try pulling on the sides of the braid a little more to "poof" out the braid a bit. It will make your braid seem thicker.

French braids are also great to add a paranda. This thread (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=91490) is all about it.

Turn it inside out -- do a dutch braid instead! I always feel they look a little thin on my hair (which has until recently been on the thin side of ii, now it's apparently decided to try something different?), but on thicker hair they're outstanding!

Oh, and the bottom braid part of french/dutch/whatever braids tapers more than it does for standard english braids. That's totally normal.
