The braid picture thread

twin braids willie nelson style. wear my hair like this for bed now that it is too long to wear loose.

Wow. One of your braids is twice as thick as all of my hair braided. So beautiful! You have my dream hair.

Flournoy that is two pretty braids.

This is what I wore to one of my Asperger group meetings. Just two ponytails held with PVC scrunchies and decorated with lilac fabric flowers.

Your hairstyles are amazing and your hair too,that colour.

My friend playing with my hair. I wish we'd remembered to take out the elastic before we got the picture, but oh well.

Everyone's braids are amazing!

I'm not sure if this belongs here or to the bun picture thread, but here's my attempt at one of the torrinpaige's styles. It didn't turn out near as pretty as hers though

What are you talking about? It's beautiful and very elegant!

Here is my dutch braid, sorry about the weird angle:

You did a superb job! It looks really good.

I love the lighting and the accessory. What a pretty style.

Fortresca and MyKingsQueen, your updos are just gorgeous! They look like cameos or paintings.

As for me, I'm wearing my usual Dutch pigtails for sleep (and also because it's after my shower). The pictures below are from a couple of days ago and they're pretty much identical in "unusually well-defined braids." Why do I end up with the best braids when I'm either going to sleep or I'm not even trying? :/

Murphy's Law of Braiding? Haha. They really do look great. Nice work!

I wanted to try the roped vortex again i did it without a hairtie at the start as it makes my head hurt, the start could be neater but i'm quite pleased , done with 4.

Ooh that's pretty! I would be pleased, too!

Little one today for school, simple but cute. Haven't done this one for a while.

That's done perfectly!

Dude, definitely on the team of "one of your braids is bigger than my single braid". It's working out well for sleeping? By the time I tried doing two braids for sleeping, the braids were long enough where they were just in the way all the time. I toss or turn once and suddenly they're all over the place and under me.

Spectacular braids!

That is way cool!



I'm debating about actually doing something to my hair for a change, even though I can't do anything close to what I'm capable of doing to other people.

Thanks for all the compliments! My hair is quite thick though braiding seems to make it look thicker, maybe cause it is on the coarser side I think. But regardless it always feels good to get nice compliments!
And Gumball the twin braids work well for me when it comes to sleeping. One they're not super long yet and two I sleep on my back and probably don't move too much. I tried just one but it was annoying having all the hair behind my neck so I figured this might work and its been good for a couple weeks.

Thank you NuclearApple and Gumball for your kind words.

Arete I love your braid it is so pretty.

I have been wearing a side English braid a lot lately. Today I decided to do something a little bit different and make three braids and braid them together. It eats up a lot of length, but I like it.

[Haybop]

Okay - not pretty or tidy but I thought I'd finally try out a fishtail braid on my kinda greasy hair (it's dead in the office at the moment). Not very good but better than I thought it'd be, hence why I'm posting it ;D



Hopefully in a month or so I'll be able to do one a lot cleaner looking

Battle braids for the win! This is one of my favorite hairstyles. I wear this climbing. It eats up enough length so that the tassel doesn't dip into my chalk bag.
