I recently got my hair braided in waistlength braids. What a difference all of this hair makes!
I put pics in my album. Take a look waistlength braids

WoW! These look really good. They are so neat and nicely braided. I think $180.00 is a good price. Did you have more than one person braiding at a time. Where did you get them done?
Oh yeah, you are the queen of Fotki Albums. /images/graemlins/king.gif

Kitchen Tician- Thanks! /images/graemlins/grin.gif I got them done in South Philly. The shop is on South Street. It is call Fatima's African Hair Braiding.
Boadicea - Thanks! I will try to keep the braids for at least two months.
Divastate - Thanks!
Chocokitty -
How long do you plan to keep them? 2 months
How often will you wash them? I only plan to wash them once weekly
How long did it take? It took 6 1/2 hours
What type of hair did you use? they used regular kanekalon hair that was blowdried for silky straightness
Honi-Looking at the pics again they do look like tailbone length. They only feel heavy at bedtime. I am having a teeny bit of trouble tying them up for sleepy time.
Mariaat- Thanks! I think I would enjoy the length more if I "eventually" grew it. As of now it seems just a little bit too much. The older it gets the easier it is for my to manage. I may not feel that way if I ever grow my own hair to this length. I mean, I went from shoulder length to beyond waist in a few hours. It's definetly an adjustment.

Thanks!
I think I still want to let my hair grow that long. Once I get there I will make up my mind whether or not I want to keep it that long.

DSD do you worry about these braids being too heavy on your new growth? I love the look but would be scared that the weight of them would put too much tension on my new growth. The braids look very nice and the price was seemed very reasonable.

Thanks!!
Good point!
I do worry about the hairline so I have been wearing them pulled back into a loose ponytail to avoid the extra stress.

I used to wear waist length crochet braids back when they were popular and I got so much attention, you will too. You wouldn't believe how many white people actually believed they were my real hair! /images/graemlins/rofl.gif
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I know what you mean about attention!
I do keep getting these weird stares from some white women.

Hey DSD /images/graemlins/wave.gif. You are my braid inspiration. I am still contemplating tree braids. I found someone in Forest Park that does them for a little over $100. I am still scared because they conrow your hair so tight and I don't want to lose any hair. I am really suffering bad from my seb dermatitis so I am going to wait for a couple of months. I love your waist lenght braids. Are they individuals or box braids?
