Maiden Braids

I found this stumbling today and I can't wait to try it so I thought I would share:)

They are pretty, aren't they? :) There's a thread on them here (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=69116), and another here (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=69990) for arc691's rather lovely take on the style.

it is a lovely hairstyle! I would like to see pictures when you made it!

I really like this one.
Can't wait to run to the bathroom and try it out.

This is beautiful! I am really bad at braids though :-(

I can't wait to see how yours turns out!

Reviving this thread instead of starting my own.

I tried this one last year for disastrous results because my hair couldn't handle all the braiding when it really needed a good clarify and deep conditioning treatment.

Tried again yesterday morning, using only two braids instead of 4.

1. Not bad, kind of cute but I think I prefer a fake crown braid. The model in the original photos has much thicker hair than I do and her braids look better.

2. If I ever needed confirmation that my hair is naturally changing to dark brown from light brown (never dyed it before), I really have it now. Look at the end of that braid compared with my scalp. Ridiculous!

OOOoohh. That is lovely, and even I can wear that one with my current length.

I should try that soon. I need a bigger style repertoire and this might just be the thing.

Lovely. I am having braid envy.

[racrane]

I tried this, too. My hair is not as thick so I just took it down. Major hair envy! :)
