FINALLY I've had the time to upload the pics. Haven't captioned them yet but it's taken me about 3 attempts and I was getting it wrong initally because my partings were too small (see the first kinky twists album), so August 2nd I finally completed my hair (which I intend to keep in for 8 weeks) I'm nearly at week 2 and already survived one hair wash with diluted shampoo.

Anyway sweetpeas it's 3am and I need to eat some food. Enjoy.

ITA. Good job. I wish I knew how to do my own extenstions...::sigh::

Thanks for the compliments ladies.

Millah, I had no idea either on how to do them. I ordered the braids by breslin DVD and learnt from that.

Your hair came out really good. How long do you keep them and how do you maintain them?

Well what I do is very minimal.. I have my surge, which I spray on morning and night and every 2 days I pour a lil MTG in a bowl and dab my scalp with it. I don't use the applicator as it will be too much and run between the parts. by dabbing it I can control how much I use and it doesn't get on the hair causing all that gunge at the base of the braid which would make it hell taking out in 2 months. I spray the hair only with the braid spray (as it contains glycerine) as I don't want it on the scalp every day, just once only. At night I get an old stocking leg and loosly tie it in a pony as to not cause tension on the scalp and cover it all with a huge satin scarf. For showering I put a shower cap over the scarf in the morning.

To wash it, I braid it in sections as shown in my album, and dilute some shampoo in a jug. I rinse my hair in the shower and then pour the jug of water over my hair. I lightly rub between the parts to loosen any dirt rinse for the longest and then repeat this about 3 times. I squeeze the water out of the braids and spray surge on my scalp. Still in the big braids I sit under the dryer until about 75% dry, then undo the braids and saturate with braid spray.

It looks so professional

You do not want to know. I'll be honest I was lazy and took the day off on Monday I started on Saturday and stopped and started. The next time I'm sure I'll be much quicker. It's much quicker than braiding.

Looks like I'm going to have to get that DVD because I'm tired of paying everyone else to do my hair. If I can learn to do my own extensions it's gonna be on and crackin. :D
