Hello,  I normally dislike braid styles, because they weaken the strand and cause hair breakage.  But I REALLY like this style of braiding.

What is the name of this braid style?

How much?

Can I have my hair braided like this in America -- Chicago?

Thanks in advanced.

AA will get all the fighters or do i call them haters here dont you think? is that what you really want?

Yes, please explain.  These are the most beautiful braids I've ever seen.  I've never seen braids like this in the states.  They look very sexy, neat, classy and versatile.    Very exotic, I like that.

@cuteness01

I wonder, how long do they last?

How do you care for them?

Is that synthetic hair? Or thread?

Does it move and have a lot of body and bounce?

Tell me everything (laughing) I like for my hair to move, or sway when I walk (laughing)

carried mine for 2months, (i'm a student, lol ).i clean my scalp with "spirit",,,that way,it won't itch,then i use hairspray.and yes,,they bounce, sometimes i spray hair glitter, to give it an extra shine. it is synthetic hair(attachments) the type used 4 making regular braids.

HOW TO MAKE;-
start like u're making "pick and drop"(braid like 4cm then tie)
after making all,take 4 or 5 braids and twist,
twist all,then put d hair in very hot water(be careful wt ur scalp!!)
undo d twists, and ur hair comes out as water melon!!

dunit bfor

use 'eXpression'!

Ahhhh, thank you. I really racked my brain on this one. And you use glitter sometimes? You are too fierce! Thank you again.

@lovealways

yeah. its called ''water melon''. they are made just as cuteness1 described. however, it is more ''curly'' when two/three braids are twisted rather than four/five. besides the fewer braids twisted, the longer it lasts. personally, i prefer jet black (colour 1). i have once tried a cross between hot wine and blonde  . came out nice!

the trick to getting this hairdo done properly is the ''twisting'' of the braids (from the base of the scalp) . . . before inserting it into very hot water and also the ''untwisting'' after removing it from the hot water . . .

to ensure the hairdo last longs, make sure your stylist applies hair styling gel (good ones not the ones that will leave the braids flaky), hair oil, moose and hair spray. Apply hair oil say twice a week. . . this way it maintains its shine and styling gel about one a week. . ,  the braids will remain neat and you wont have strands sticking out.

it is one of my most favourite hairdo and if properly done, you can have it on for over two months 

If you want the version that ''bounces'', there is a special type of hair rollers that will be used to curl the braids, hot water is poured carefully on it and then your head is placed under a hair-dryer to dry. Its similar to ''pick and drop'' but no twisting involved. Just incase you pop into Lagos, visit ''make-me salon''.  the are experts with the 'bouncy version'.

Wouldn't that be a twist?

That's my next hair do. Just not that long, too hot for all that weave

rrotflmao. You uys are not sserious

I wanted to ask, when you say you used wine, black and gold, what colour should I be thinking of when you say wine
I want to braid them, but cant decide on colour, is it written on the pack

I remember back in Nigeria, this hairstyle called "pick and drop". Just braid the top a little, then leave the rest. Afterwards, twist/braid them in large and put in hot water. Loosen it. That's how I used to do mine.

lovely braids! not sure it can be done here oh!

all these Senegalese and Gambian women in Harlem don't have the time for all that :pick and drop and soaking in water bixnix " "
