Self done box braids..*Pics !

I love them... Wish I had the balls to do the BC....  I may do it next month, who knows... I haven't truly relaxed my hair in almost two years.. However, I cant stop relaxing my edges...( I canNOT do nappy edges). I don't even go past my ears with the relaxer...

Anywho, your thread inspired me to go get the box braids for next month... Thank You. I can braid well, too bad I do not have the patience to do them myself... Go Girl!!

I used 9 bags of regular ol' kanekalon hair.. each bag i cut in half . and these braids are soooooo light . doesn't even feel like my hair is braided or anything ! I'm going to try and keep them in for a month to a month and a half *crosses fingers* ANYWAYS ! here's pics and a video... the video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to6BPS0bnmM BEFORE: AFTER!

Luuuuuvvvv these! Did you use the kind of puffy kanekalon or the silky kind? I'm guessing you stretched the hair to make the tips smaller? Did you braid all the way to the bottom or how did you do that? Did you have to dip them one at a timewhile you were braiding or did you wait til you were finished  braiding to dip them all? What brand of hair was it? Sorry for all the questions.
