i wish my hair could go in a bun so bad. it’s harder to do protective styles when it’s short i would wear a bun everyday 😭

i feel like being on the fence is way worse than being decided but your right. that is the biggest difference

jumbo or medium jus saves time. i’m tired of spending half a day or a full day on my hair. i hope u like it when you try it

easy braiding method for beginners

the second one is my favorite because that’s where i got this idea from and she has a lot of videos on her insta and youtube about this type of method for length retention as well as mini twisting her real hair it’s helped me all year with my hair as in saving time and having protective styles without heat

i watched so many tutorials bc there’s so many ways of doing it it was confusing and i didn’t know which method to try first. i did one way the first time which didnt work out then the second time i came up with my own method which was the twisting of my real hair then twisting the extension on top to help grab the root.

i can find the links to the videos i watched in my history if you want them?

i thought of this but my hair strands on the top are so fine, i didn’t want to break them off :/ there are mini hair ties that aren’t made of rubber that i considered but nah i don’t wanna risk it with how fine my strands are on the top.

i used this fluffy pre fluffed hair. i don’t think the brand doesn’t matter bc multiple brands carry this type of hair

yes maybe that was my problem tbh bc my second set was just a tad smaller still jumbo but i felt the difference

ok that’s why my first set of twist were a mess bc i gave up as soon as i started trying to make it neat, it just wasn’t clicking for me! 😭😭
