Yeah, it's really cool. My hair won't even hold a regular braid unless it's really humid out or it's French braided.

Just curious Mocha....how long would you leave those in place?? And would you just wash it with them in?? And would they stay?? Inquiring minds want to know.... PS...I love them!!

Well it's recommended to leave them in for no more than 3 or 4 months. Yes you can wash them and if done right they won't come out. If done wrong they will slide right off your head.

Cool haircutting umbrella, Fluff. Now, let me think - somebody was complaining about all the birdseed on the floor from their new parakeet, and I suggested they get a skirt for the cage. This thing might work. It was Suitsmefine!

Well it took 8 LONG hours and my head is REAL tight right now, but I'm loving my braids. I got it kind of long this time, it's about the same length as the picture, but no curls yet. I'm shooting for keeping them through the end of March. That will get me through tax season.

When I was in St. Louis three years ago, I met a lady with past the shoulder micro braids (tiny and braided to the ends) and asked her how long it took. She told me an hour and a half. I was astounded, then she told me her sister is a hairdresser who does it all the time and is just fast. It looked great, but isn't that a record time for micros?

gosh, looking at all those microbraids, especially ones that are braided to the end, makes me think it would take hours and hours, not just one and a half. it looks beautiful, but also like a lot of work! no wonder dd just does a french braid...one big one!

Gracie if it took an hour and a half and it was braids like the photo above then it may be a weave and not actual braids. There is no way it would take only an hour and a half.

ok, i got a doozy today. i have been growing my hair out for about the last year and a half. it grows pretty slow. well, the back of it was about shoulder length, with the front layers being a little shorter. (see my profile pic for better understanding). anyway, so i was getting tired of it, it is really a lot thinner than it used to be, and i think it is too thin to be long, and it would just look stringy. so i decided to get it cut, keep the front longer, and then angled up, shorter in the back. well, that's what i got. and it is my fault, not the girl who cut it, because she did what i told her, but, i don't like it. she layered the front a little more than i would like for it to be, and that makes it look short all around with like wisps of longer hair right in front of my ears. aaaaagh! if it weren't so layered, it would be better, but nothing can be done about it now. it doesn't look good if i fix it the way cuts like this should be fixed...that is under, so the contrast of lengths really shows, it is OK if i still flip it out, but then it doesn't really look that much different than before. oh well. lesson learned. sorry, just had to vent a little.

jbeanie, so sorry the haircut didn't work out but I'll bet you are still a cutie pie!! It would take more than a bad hair cut to change that cause I think you are a doll.

I have worn my hair short for years and years. Went in to get it trimmed a bit. I now do not have enough hair left to even call it a flat top. I spent about 5 minutes telling and showing her exactly what I wanted and she nodded and acted like she was listening to me. WRONG! Anyone have a hat that I can borrow?

On the other hand, DH and I had our hair trimmed before the holiday at a nice little salon, and we were thrilled with the result. They also sent us a reminder card that DH might want to schedule a clean-up appointment. Apparently, he signed up for a 3-week reminder.

Aw Rosie! I totally feel for you. I hate it when that happens!!! I will never EVER see another stylist other than the one I see know. When you cut curly hair, cutting off an inch really equals about three inches. I had bra-length hair and the last time I went somewhere else the idiot stylist spent the entire time saying "oh, I love long hair" as he ran his hands thru my hair (well, sorta, those curls don't allow much running) and nodded how I only needed just a smidge cut off. I cried all the way home. That "I only cut one inch off?" thing. I told him to pick up an curl and UNCURL it and tell me how much it was "just an inch!" Sheesh!! I cried all the way home and I swear, I did NOT go out of the house for weeks!!!!

Aww I'm sorry about the cut Jbean and Rosie. Jbean sometimes when you take a chance on something new it works out and sometimes not. Rosie was this a new stylist for you? Aww Costa.

Wish I knew Rosie. It took me a few years to find mine and I hope she doesn't go anywhere.
