I posted these pictures in the "May 2011 Hairstyle for the Month" thread, but I thought, hey, why not post them here on the "Mane" Forum, too? So here I am http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/terryandjody/More%20Smilies/smilie_girl_232.gif


First, a few pictures of a box braid French-braid style:

And pictures taken yesterday, when I did two regular box braids and then wrapped them around (and around...and around) my head:

Looks amazing! wish I could do this, how long does it take you to do these styles?

It does take a little bit longer to do the box braid than the regular English braid, but it's well worth it if you have the time! I think each look took me somewhere between 20-25 minutes.

I do my hair myself~ with mirrors, of course :)

[CastaDiva]

You have amazing braiding skills and as always your updos and hair look absolutely gorgeous!! I wish I could do something similar with my hair:)

[Eolan]

Very lovely looks!

You braid with mirrors? That's a skill! I can't look in the mirror when I braid, that only confuses me. :)

[mustpannkook]

Your braids and updos look always fantastic... And I love the nature! You live in a very beautiful place.

[Sweet Beat]

Very lovely looks!

I found that confusing too in the beginning, but now I connot feel comfortable without using 2 or 3 mirrors even though I'm only making a simple hairbun xD


Lovely braids! :)

[GeoJ]

Beautiful! I'm amazed that you can do the box braid French-braid style!

[MoonlightShadow]

everybody! You're all so kind, it's great to hear your feedback http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/terryandjody/More%20Smilies/AF2FlowerA008.gif

[HintOfMint]

The mind boggles.

It's gorgeous but I'm pretty sure my fingers themselves would tangle up and snap before I could get a style half as good as this. Brava to you!

[MagicAndMayhem]

WOW is all I have to say..you have gorgeously long hair. It must take so much effort to braid all your hair!

[owlathena]

:joy: AMAZING!

[Dragon]

Looks amazing :)
