i saw a tutorial of a woman putting yarn extensions into a child's hair. i thought this looked pretty fun and easy so i ran to the local dollar store and bought 5 (rolls?) of yarn. I started with a small chunk of hair located just above and in front of my right ear. (this is my favorite part of my hair) I started braiding these two long pieces of yarn into my hair (folded in half they turn into 4 pieces) and ended with a yarn dread/braid thing two inches longer than my actual hair length. for my first try it looked pretty cool. i continued to do 3 more braids on various parts of hair and kept them in for 3 days. they were really cool having but were difficult to maintain with only 4 of them. there was a need to brush and wash my hair but it was difficult going around each of the braids. This brought me to the conclusion that either the whole head should be braided/dreaded or maybe like one braid....
i really liked this look so i thought of a way to make temporary braids that can be put in and taken out every night before bed so i didnt have to worry about them getting damaged and whatnot.
i made a few for my friends and i waiting to see how well they like them. who knows maybe ill create a fad at my school? :p
no probably not. but my main goal now is to find roving and eventually achieve a look that resembles the following picture.
so for now i will have to deal with relatively short hair and longish yarn braid extensions. :)
