🌈Yes, this is my hair… I bought it online! 😉 My fave brands are Doctored Locs and ZURY (carried by Doctored Locs as well) because their amazing color options!
🌈No, this is not a hat/wig. It’s called crochet, which is when I cornrow my own hair, then take PRE-BRAIDED braids and literally use a crochet hook to saw them in.
🌈Yes, it’s braided into my hair! My natural hair is fine and thin and comes down to my shoulders, but we mix it with some synthetic hair when we cornrow it to my head to make it a stronger base.
🌈No, it’s not yarn- but you’re right, it kinda looks like that! It IS heavy when wet, but I specifically choose brands that are light. The puffier braids are actually the lightest!
🌈Yes, I wash it like normal, but not every day. When I work out, I make sure to wash at least my scalp. I hold my hair up like a troll & scrub my scalp with shampoo and use a sprayer to rinse.
🌈No, it doesn’t pull or hurt but it used to be kinda sensi in the back of my head when sleeping the first week. So I shaved the back of my head! LOL PROBLEM SOLVED! But if you are tender-headed, it can be miserable.
🌈No, I don’t do this myself. I go to African Braiding Shops and let’s the pros help me out. My two fave spots are Jbraids in Grand Rapids, MI & Sophia’s in Denver Co.
🌈No, this style doesn’t actually take as long as you might think! When I go to the two places mentioned above, it on only takes AN HOUR to get my hair done! Price will depend on multiple factors: what you want, your natural hair length and texture, etc.
🌈No, I don’t work in entertainment… anymore. 🤣 I did used to work as a Wench on a pirate ship tho!
🌈No, stranger, you may not touch it. Thank you for asking first!
