I freaking did it!!! Yay me!!

So Boom!!! I’ve always wanted to know how to braid my hair using extensions, a.k.a. braiding hair. I’ve always asked people, but no-one ever showed me!

I’ve been watching YouTube videos, TikTok videos, and Instagram videos on how to braid my own hair. I finally just went for it and tried it and this is how it came out.

I’m really proud of myself. It doesn’t look professional, but it was my first time so I gave myself some grace.

The next time I do it, I’ll use a little more gel and try to smooth the hair out more to not make it look so frizzy but not bad for my first time yay me!!! 💪🏾🎉🥳🥰

... Read moreBraiding hair has become increasingly popular thanks to social media tutorials on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. These videos provide step-by-step guidance for aspiring braiders, making the craft accessible to everyone. When learning to braid, choosing the right type of hair extensions is essential for achieving a natural look. Options such as synthetic hair or human hair extensions can both work well depending on your desired style and budget. Additionally, practicing various techniques like Dutch braids, feed-in braids, and protective styles can elevate your hair game. It's important to prepare your hair before braiding by ensuring it's clean and well-moisturized. Use a smoothing gel to reduce frizz and flyaways, which can make your braids look cleaner and more polished. When practicing, don’t hesitate to experiment with different styles and methods, as each approach can offer unique results. The journey to mastering braiding might take time, but with focus and persistence, you will see improvement. Remember, everyone has a first time, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way! As you become more confident in your braiding skills, consider sharing your outcomes on social media to inspire others. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how big or small—they contribute to your learning journey in the world of hair styling!

THRIFT FIND I DID NOT BUY.. should I regret it?
Stop this was sooo cute but too niche as I don’t currently have dogs but I love them. I decided to leave it so that maybe someone with puppers that look just like these guys could enjoy it. 🥰 #Lemon8 #lemon8fashion #thrifting #thriftfinds #deinfluence #springbreak
