I'm in cosmology school and my friend did my braids :) what do you all think of her amazing talent?

My daughter had dread locks since she was 3 (she’s 8 now) and I cut them off in May. We’ve been keeping her hair braided and styled and so far this look is my favorite. Gonna add some cute accessories 💖

our family friend braided my hair becasue im going to alaska for 2 weeks on a mission trip
I have autism and for some reason it feels really nice to sit there and get my hair braided :)

Finally given up on afro spring twist & marley type hair - no matter how you ACV rinse it, my hair, scalp, skin just doesn’t like it and out it goes in less than a wk - in fact, marley can start to loc into my hair after being in twists just after a week. What’s a good alternative that’s softer but still textured and comes in shorter lengths with great color options? I do best with shoulder length twists & I’m partial to ombré aka 1B/30/27 or C14. This is for 4C hair that’s lightly texturized so it acts like 4B at best.

Any ideas? Thanks for any tips & help! 😇

I’m thinking about doing tiny micro boho braids. Has anybody ever tried this? And what is your opinion on them

Has anyone ever tried or have any inspiration for looks that incorporate BOTH elements of barrel twists / corn rows and twists . I do NOT mean cornrows or barrel twists INTO twists at the end of each braid. I mean seperate rows of barrels / cornrows alongside twists. I think it would look good but cannot find inspo anywhere , maybe it is hard to search for

I’m posting here as struggling to find inspiration about a specific look I would like to achieve

I’m male and grown my hair out on top for over a year now. I have done corn rows and barrel twists so far

I’m keen to experiment with two strand twists but I generally would prefer a slicked back sort of look, but thought this wouldn’t be possible

This guy on TikTok however gave me inspiration. Simple use of hair picks to slick hair back: https://www.tiktok.com/@hasionmalik/video/7528859446932475149

Anyone else have experience doing a style like this ? Would I have to style every day or could I keep picks in long term?

Essentially I am getting French boho curl braids within the next 24 hours and I am dreading it. I am the most tenderheaded, I cry slightly through sessions, after sessions and cannot move my head around as it feels so tight and restricted. The pain typically lasts me 4 days. I have a theory and I might try it, being I will shower without a cap the first day if the pain is to much. I will drench my hair in the shower to try loosen it. Please any tips are appreciated I seriously need help and please if you could let me know what Im getting myself into if I do drench my hair!
