Re: How To\'s

Girl, you've been busy! I like the long locks site as well. Time to get out the mannequin head and update my braiding techniques. How do they braid with their fingers like that!

Re: How To\'s

Spagirl....where do you get a mannequin head from? And how much does it cost?
 
Re: How To\'s

I purchase these for my girls at a local college but, I've seen them in the beauty supply stores. I've even seen them in Sally's occasionally.

I think I paid about $30 something post tax. I think the price varies starting around $20 (on sale) and can go beyond $100.

Here are a couple of great discussion threads from this board on self-braiding:
The Crown and Glory Method
Lots of Helpful Braiding Tips in this thread...

Gurl, those are some nice style sites up in that "Lots of Helpful Braiding Tip" link. When I clicked on your link and it took me to "I did my own braids!" I was like this is some good stuff up in here. I even came across a "How-to" interlock by a member named Faith (aka Swttng) Just had to make a direct link to it. Each picture gives a description if you click on it:

How to Interlock

I also enjoyed the how-to on braid extensions under your "Do-It-Yourself Braids" link. I took the advise of LuvableLady which was "You can ignore the pictures (if you want to)"...I did (ignore the pictures).

Yes just noticed that it was posted prior which I didn't see before because the site was hiding behind a cut...

Well a good thing can't be repeated often enough or hmm something

Pet, here is a site that might be helpful if you can't find them locally.

HTH!
 
Re: How To\'s

Very cool Zanna...I wondered if that worked. Would like to stop relying on stylists for trimming. Will have to try that when I get brave enough! Thanks for commenting!

Re: How To\'s

I've been searching all day for tips on exactly how to use that foam bun hair thingy to make a perfect bun. Well, I finally came across this: make a perfect bun with a foam donut

This technique is more for a HIGH bun but I think it would work for a low bun. I'm going to try this tomorrow after I wash. Here's a drawn picture of it..this really helps me out! diagram
 
Re: How To\'s

One more thing...

This is a picture of the chignon/bun look I'm trying to achieve:

I wish I could find out where she bought that bun design jewel thingy.

Here's a picture of the rats they sell at A Discount Beauty

And here is the donut that they sell at Sally's

I will probably purchase this today though I think the rats from A Discount Beauty would be easier to work with.
 
Re: How To\'s

HairLove, good luck to you on making your bun. The one in the picture is beautiful. I am quite sure you will achieve that same look with no problem at all!
 
Re: How To\'s-Ponytail Set

Does anyone here know how to do a ponytail set, I've read that some do this instead of a roller set. Fiddling with those rollers on my daughter’s head is trying; I would really like to try this set instead. She usually ends up putting her hair in a ponytail anyway so going through the hassle of roller setting seems to long a process just for her to pull it back anyway

- but her hair, being 4b and THICK really needs the heat from the dome drying to tame it. Please holla back.
P.S. if you know of a site with some pictures or if you have some that would be great, otherwise please just describe it. Thanks a bunch
