Hi everybody! I've been off-line for a few days, due to a problem with the phone cable...our phones and internet has been off...thankfully it is back on now (for the time being, at least! :) )

Anyway, here are a few pictures of my attempt at a box braid, Dutch-braid style, so that the braid shows up on top, instead of underneath. I didn't really know what to do with my braid when I was done~ tried several things and finally just put in in a low bun....

That is a beautiful hairstyle! I just managed to do the regular Dutch braid and see many hours of practising this one ahead of me:D

The road crew ran into Telecom's underground phone line, and now the Telecom workers are splicing the thousands of wires back together again...what a job!!

I am also excited when i see you have done another style! I hope when my hair is longer I will be able to DO SOMETHING and not just stare and dream! :pinktongue:

I love looking at your hairstyles - after all you have a fabulous head of hair. I also love seeing what clips you are going to use. You seem to have a great collection x

What a fantastic box braid! It looks spot on to me, and you don't have to worry about it twisting down the length. Kudos! :thumbsup:

Wow, that's fabulous. I'm still working on learning a plain box braid, holding the hair where I can see it, let alone on the back of the head and making it Dutch braid style on top of it. So impressed with your skillz. (and the hair of course!)

That is super pretty. I bet you are proud of it. Do you have a picture of the braid down so we can see the structure of the braid?

Thank you so much, everybody, for all of your nice replies! You all are way too complimentary! http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/terryandjody/Smilies/bunny-2.gif

Cupofmilk~ Yes, I do have a pretty big collection of clips. I get them all here where I live, and they are so inexpensive!

Artsy~ No, it never gets cold here; the lowest it ever gets is about 75 f, and that is at night if it's been raining.

Geat job! What an absolutely beautiful hairstyle! AND what a wonderful place you live! I'm a little jealous. We have snow on the ground that has been sitting there for almost two weeks!

I love the braid, and the hair toys, too! I need to find better places to shop! :D

I don't know if I'll ever learn to braid like that, but it's fun to
dream about....

beautiful style!
