It's no wonder that we like box braids. They are incredibly versatile and they can last for weeks! Yesterday I put 89 box braids in Syd's hair. I know the exact number because she wants me to count them every time we do this style...LOL!
I used half-moon shaped parts instead of actual "boxes." The process goes a lot faster when I'm not trying to achieve perfection in the form of completely straight lines and perfect little squares.
Even using this method, this style took 5 hours to complete. Of course, there was an hour long break in the middle so we could go sledding and have a snowball fight! :)
We'll moisturize her hair every morning (especially the ends) and she sleeps in a satin nightcap to preserve the style. It should last about 2 weeks before I reach the end of my fuzz tolerance.I'll post pictures next week of all the styles we can do with these braids.
