Fav. hair braiding style is when i braid two braids starting from the top of my head & going across my head to the back of my ear. Sorta like the braid Ashely Olsen wore on hers. Bt with my hair hanging down.

My favorite braiding style has to be micro braids. They take a while to get done but they are really convenient. I've never had them though. Just saw them on other people, and they look nice.

as a kid i always wore my hair in one plait, with my hair tucked behind my ears and my partline right down the middle of my head. as i grew older, i went to two plaits on either side of my face, the partline still remain ... moreas a kid i always wore my hair in one plait, with my hair tucked behind my ears and my partline right down the middle of my head. as i grew older, i went to two plaits on either side of my face, the partline still remained in the same place.
i always thought i only had one look, and one look only. i thought plaits were so ugly and just plain. i didnt feel attractive. but now, seeing more celebs wearing their hair in funky plaits, i feel better.
to this day on, i still wear my hair in plaits, but i wear it differently.
With more confidence.
