Rocking braids for the summer
Ain’t it great that the boom in Janet Jackson Poetic Justice styled braids are back this summer? I had to get a piece of this action as I loved braids in high school and it was only right since I am currently over-the-top bored with my TWA and trying to grow it out. I really wanted to get waist length plaited braids like Solange or currently Keri Hilson but when my stylist told me I would need 14 packs of hair???????? Hell to the naw! What’s it gonna feel like to walk around with 14 packs of hair on my head? The 5 and a half I have in currently ain’t no light work! SO I decided to stick with some fly rope twists and I could not be happier
You know I had to get a variety of colours to match my personality. It ranges from deep brown to platinum with a toops of red mixed in there. Just like my own hair 😀
The funny thing about them is all the fellas who I know to hate “false hair” fell head over heals for them. Heh! As long as you rock em right and keep em tight
It’s been about a month and they are currently looking raggedy as hell. Don’t do medium sized twists unless you’re prepared to tie them down every night. I started out well but the tie-head kept slipping off and that was that. I absolutely love them though and I’m sure I will reinstall but I will either do plaits instead of twists or ask her to plait the roots so they stay put a little better since I’m doing them big. I’m not sitting long enough for fine twists #aintnobodygottime
Did you rock braids this summer too? Aren’t they just the best?
Love these summer days!
Girl, I’m going to have to start from the bottom – Lawd Michael Frater. *fans self* Jesus. Jesus. (Probably old enough to be his mama.)
Okay, now back to the braids. I left braids (without extensions) back in the 70s and early 80s. I’m still too traumatized to revisit. But, seeing yours – LUV, LUV, LUV how they look on you!…especially when you do the high bun. That’s elegance right there.
Girl YESSSSSS I couldn’t let Mr. Frater pass me by LOL! These athletes chiiiiiiile #sigh
and thanks! I so love them too
You sure look HOTT with Mr. Frater. The braids look great on you ’cause you’ve got the face and personality to wear any and everyting!
Aw thanks so much 😀
Love the website! !!
