Picures of braid/cornrow patterns for single braids ...anyone?

Does anyone have pictures of various cornrow patterns or parting patterns used to design the fall pattern of single braids?

I plan to twist my hair this weekend and am looking for a differnt pattern to use. I plan to do Micro-twist with Human Hair.

I did a quick search here and was led to this site, I'm leaning toward this pattern, but will need some creativity to work out a design for the crown area. Thats where I'm thinner. This pattern works for me becuause I usually do my back a bit thicker.

TIA.


OT: I found this link that has pictures of various braid, loc, and twist styles. http://healthyhaircenter.com/116/index.html

I think I found my crown pattern.

It will take me atleast 2 days to get the twists in. This pattern will allow me to go out in public till the "project" is completed.

What do you think. I've been known to flat-twist my twists around the crown on occasion. This pattern will look good and should not be "too" fashion forward for Uncle Sam, my employer.

Bumping, anyone ? Anyone use a specific pattern when they put their braids in?

Sorry that I can't help you but bumping this up for ya...

I LOVE the styles in the second post, but I get tired just looking at them. I do singles on my head w/ extensions but believe it or not, I find that less tiring to do than cornrows. Holding my arms up to cornrow just about kills me so while I'd kill to pull off those styles, I think my arms would fall off by the time I completed one curved cornrow.

Check out Cybra's do; I don't know if my do even measures up, but I was proud of it when I did it especially since I find cornrows tiring. Mook's Hair is a cornrow pro, IMO so I'd bug her for ideas.

I also found these:

Thank you ladies for your input and "bumping.
I'm twisted!!!!!
I started twisting last night and did not use a cornrow pattern. They are done with human hair, and are my answer "sister locs" for now....that is untill my crown fills in some them maybe I'll reconsider.


I've enclosed pic of my new microtwists at : http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=4725535#post4725535

I did the rear of my head to the crown, and had a professional finish (install the braid pattern for) my thining crown and sides in for a fuller look.

The last pic shows the part pattern if Id've finished the look off.

I now have to twist the crown down to the ends so the fro (pic below) & afro puff will be gone tomorrow.

at being twisted. And oh how BEAUTIFUL you are when twisted!

Thank you Nonie!


I just added pics of the twist with them flat ironed straight.
