| {Box braids (with twisted ends)} |
Last weekend, I did box braids for the first time since going natural. My primary reason for doing so was to simply switch things up from my usual twists. Another reason for doing box braids was to see if I could wear it for 4-5 weeks with considerably less aging and shrinkage than twists. This natural lady (pookinapp) was my main inspiration for experimenting with box braids. What has held me off for so long were 1) the fear of my braids locking and 2) the tedious takedown process. Given that I did my set larger than most people, hopefully the takedown and detangling won't be so bad? We shall see weeks from now.
How are my challengers doing as we soon stride into Month #4?
