The braid picture thread

[chopandchange]

Yay! I managed to do my hair in a single plait! (that's "braid" to speakers of US English)!

I have layers, so doing a single plait (low down) doesn't work, because the tassle ends up having to be longer than the plait. So today I did one higher up, which had the effect of balancing out the length difference. I wish I could do it at my nape and have it look like that. It hurts having it in a high ponytail, and I have to take it down.

Please do not "quote" my picture. I might want to remove it later. Thank you!

Wow, C&C, that's awesome! Look how thick and shiny. I have layers, too, so must try this. *puts into growing list of hairstyles to try*

Wow..nice braids, everyone!

Here's a messy 4 strand flat braid:

^ Nice 4 strand! I just learned a while back, that there is a difference between "flat" and "box/rope" versions.

This is my dutch braid, made myself today without even combing my hair
On the left you can see the typical Saturday leftovers and on the right and up, there's a picture I painted exactly 12 years ago Time runs so quickly

^ Awesome smooth and bold Mohawk Braid!

My simplified Arwen braid:

^ Amazing and creative version of the Arwen braid!

I can somehow NEVER get a Dutch braid to turn out on my head..... . I wish I could, I love the way they look on others.

My fingers start one out, then revert to a French braid, instead.

Bums me out!!

Awesome braids!! I took a NICE picture of my braid yesterday and am proud to show it here (not because of the itty bitty length, but because of the thickness )
