I did my own braids for the first time and was really surprised how they came out. At first I was super hesitant and doubting myself about the whole thing suuuuper hard. i went back and forth for days leading up to our trip. I even sat in my car for a half hour outside of the beauty supply store, trying to decide what I wanted to do. Finally, I drove off and drove to another beauty supply store and bought some braiding hair. I wanted to add light extensions to my own hair and have a natural single braid look, all over.
When I got home, I couldn’t even decide how I wanted to do it. Did I want twists? or did I want braids?. I went back and forth over this for another day. I was up to my ears in stress from going on and on about this. Fortunately for me, my boyfriend is so supportive and encouraging that I just took his advice and went for it with full confidence that no matter what, it will turn out fine. The most important part for me in the end though? Was that it was an exact manifestation of what I had in my mind and heart of how I wanted it to come out. And to think, I was going to pay hundreds to put my vision in someone else’s hands. In hopes that they would execute it the way I envisioned it in my mind. So glad I went for it. This is full proof that if we just went for it more in life, we’d all be successful and happy.
So here’s how they held up on my vacation and exactly what I did and how it panned out for me. XO
