Yup I'm saving money...the sew-in I had in the past done by a "professional" cost me $300! And my hair was damaged afterwards. This one is definitely not going to damage my hair the way I put it in. I happy deliriously happy

I'm thinking the same thing. I think my cornrows would go longer too, but I would have to figure that out. I wanna do someone's else's hair on my head and have it look like my own soooooo bad!!!!!!!!!caligirl2385 said:

You can do it!!! Someone mentioned above you can wrap the ends of the cornrows around the cornrows a couple of times.

Your hair looks great!
I tried this this a.m....took about 4 hours today and about the same amount of time yesterday with the cornrow braids first.
It looked okay, but my husband did not like them. Now he tells me...just a waste of money. Taking them out tonight and he will be helping.
Best of luck to you though.

I left hair out around the perimeter and it covered it somehow. I'm also 12 weeks post, so maybe the thickness of my roots helps. I also don't have a lot tracks in, only 1 pack of hair.

Excellent Job. I wish I had your skills. I did my mom's hair... yesterday and part of today.... It looks pretty good.. but, just took me like 8hrs. I think it's the way I braided it though. If you wouldnt mind, please give detailed instructions (pm if you wish).
Again, excellent job. I'm soooo envious right now. I spent my day off this holiday doing hair. My mom's so... it's cool. Just wish I could cut down on the time.

All I did was vertical braids. I turned the ends up and sewed them on the cornrows. I learned that from weaveitup's album, I think.

You did do a great job! It looks very natural, not "weavy" at all. It looks very pretty!

Thats a super job.... was wondering whether anyone had any pictures of what the vertical braiding technique, i'm not quite sure how it would work. Wouldn't the hair fall in awarakd (sp?) positions?
I usually braid horizontally along the back, then as i get to the fron do about 8 vertical braids and leave a little out in the middle (for a centre part) or a little out either side for a side part... But i would really like to try the vertical technique and hopefully i can do myself a weave that good looking

Seriously it's so easy, just straight back braids. The hair falls according to how you sew it. I sew in a u shape from the ears upwards. I think weaveitup has pictures in her fotki.
