  • 4-Strand Braid?
      • Bryndis (Login TawnyFire)
      Posted Jan 26, 2009 3:13 PM

      Hello Everyone,

      I would like to try a 4-strand braid, but after searching for instructions, have realized that there are many different ways to do so, with varying effects (round, square, etc). Could anyone out there give me a way that's easy to do *on your own hair*, especially once it gets to be wicked long (mine's classic at least now)?

      Thanks!


      Cheers,
      ~Bryndis

      35"/45"/Classic Braid; 1c/F/ii
      Past few months have been experimenting again. "Wash" on an as-needed basis. I make up a mixture similar to Willow's, with beer, egg yolk, and a few essential oils. I am still hesitant to give up my conditioner because I feel it helps with tangles, but we'll see.
      Coconut oil as needed.
      Moisture spritz as needed (aloe juice, water, rosemary & ylang-ylang e.o.'s for scent)
      Horn comb and HairSense "bone" comb.
      Been months without using a brush (wooden, from Earth Theraputics)
      Will update this as I go! (last updated January 2008)
