Learning how to braid 🫶✨🤍

first time braiding/twisting my own hair! its not perfect, but I still couldn’t be happier with the results! 10 points for self-sufficiency, 20 points for saving what probably would have been $250+!!!!

this was honestly such an impulsive decision and I'm so glad I did. you should've seen me scrambling in my room Sunday morning for left over hair from past braiding appointments. doing the math to make sure I'm making enough parts to not only fill the spaces, but also to make sure I don't run out of hair 😅 i did NAWT have enough money to buy more, so I really had to use what I had! and in the end, I was still left with a full pack of hair! yippie!

soooooo how'd I do? please don't be mean y'all, it's my first time, we all sucked at something we did the first time before. it's will accept any tips, but BE NICE!

plz & thx 💖
