I got my hair done yesterday! Some chunky box braids! Woohoo!
Here's a pic
You can't really tell, but I have black and a bronze-y brown mix.
The price was right ($70, though I tipped her $10, so it totaled $80), and, she was wicked fast and from start to finish it took just under 3 hours.
We used almost 6 packs of the Janet Collection Super Jumbo braid, cut in half, and I think the length is perfect.
The braids are very secure, but not too tight, and she left my edges be because my hair is baby hair fine along them.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the results, and if these babies last well, she will be my go-to braider! The braids have already started to feel more natural rather than tight and stiff, and I think by tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest, they won't feel like extensions anymore.
I've been wanting braids for about 6 months, but I had to wait until my hair was long enough for them. I'm hoping to keep these in for 2 months.
