Protective Styling: Box Braids

I want my fro to keep growing, so I did a protective style, BOX BRAIDS! Inspired by Solange's braids, I did these myself. I used 9 bags of hair, only because the sections are large and my hair is thick! I've gotten several compliments on them, even people asking me was this all my hair! LOL I braided them so they would look natural. They're not the best in the world, but they suit me just fine!

What do you all think?

TOOK OUT MY WEAVE!!!

Blow OUT!

This is my first blow out since my big chop back in September.

I straightened my hair in December for the first time as well.

My hair is growing soooooo fast!!

Now that my hair is having a break under my weave, it should be growing even longer!

I can't wait to see my curls again.. No more weaves for me, just braids and other natural protective styles.

Protective Style: WEAVE!

Yes I have a weave in my head...lol

& Honestly, I feel COMMON. (harsh but true)

I miss my curls so much. :(

I paid $140 ($70 for 2 bags of hair and $70 for the install)

I've had it in for a month now.

It started out being 14 in. long, but now I cut it into a short bob...MUCH BETTER because even though it's cold outside, to me, its still to hot to have all that hair on my neck. LOL

Here are some pics:

Starting over.

All new posts coming soon!
