What I wanted vs. What I did

To say that this was my first time doing this style, I would like to say it came out really nice. The only thing I would do different is use curly pieces on the end #hair #boho braids #boxbraids

I don’t have those kind of gel x full cover tips but I’ve been thinking about stiletto tips lately. But hey I’m still learning and practicing. Practice makes progress not perfection!!
