BOX BRAIDS UPDO: PICTURE TUTORIAL

I'm not really a "braids person". Usually, I just prefer weavons since it takes less time to install  but this year i decided to go all out and be different with what i do on my hair. So right now, I'm rocking box braids and am loving every bit of it cos you get to style it in so many different ways. So i have here a picture tutorial of one of the many styles i wear my braids.

Step 1: Gather your braids in a high ponytail.

Step 2: Part ponytail in 3 equal parts and mat into pigtails, leaving out about 3 strands.

 Step 3: Take the 3 strands left out to wrap around the band used to hold ponytail. (this step is not necessary but i just don't like the band to be seen).

Step 4: Take one of the three pigtails around your head from front to back. Just where you want it. Do the same for the second and third, putting one directly after the other till you're done with all three. secure them properly with bobby pins.

 Annnddd............. the final look.

This updo is versatile as you can wear it on both traditional and English outfit. Much love, ciao

" IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS"

Happy new year guys. Thank God for His faithfulness. This post is a bit late and i can give a lot of reasons why but..... So I was preparing for choir rehearsals for Christmas day service and was like "why not do something that goes with the season"? And without a single idea what I was going to do, I picked up my brushes and this is what I came up with.
