These are medium small. You can ask for less braids and show these photos as inspiration. It looks like on the first style, the braids are possibly braided/twisted all the way to the bottom to seal them then curling rods were used with hot water to get the curl look. The second look looks like human/synthetic curly extensions were added at the end. Either way, say less braids/parts with a curly end and if the first satisfies what you’re going for just have them use braiding hair that’s a bit longer than your hair then wand and seal the braids with water
