For the past year I have been so desperate to have box braids done. So finally on 16/03/13 I decided it was time for me to take the plunge and I got them done (cheap enough price too!). I had my braids in for a total of 6 weeks 6 days.
I must say my experience overall was not as pleasant as I taught it would be!
Firstly the braids were super heavy, gave me a constant headache, and taking them off was such a relief.
Secondly I was soo busy with college I didn't really get to do much styles with them which was a bummer, because that was one of the reasons why I got them in, in the first place. Nonetheless I absolutely loved the way they looked on me :), It was different and yet unique, low manipulative, and easy to style and take care of. I was free from washing my hair and conditioning numerous times, moisturizing my hair numerous times and also pulling out my hair! ( lol I wont like I pulled out the ones at the front, you'll see from the pics below ).
Over all I don't think I will be doing such heavy box braids for a while!
This is basically how I wore my braids throughout the 6 weeks, the sides tied up :)
Here I was bored what can I say ?? lool
Here is what my lil sis did to my braids for a Fashion Show
One thing I most definitely regretted was pulling the braids at the front out :(
