Hair | Curly Babe

I'll soon be taking down my braids but before that I decided to revamp the hair a bit by adding some curls to make it feel a little brand new and wearing it possibly through this month because I have no time to sit down and get to taking them down and getting something new down. I plan on wearing this until I'm able to do that which isn't until in about two weeks or so. I'm in love with the results and I feel like I just got my hair done; expect for the pain that you experience the first few days...

Here's how I achieved my 'new' look:
1. Undo all of your braids about 3/4 or in my case I usually stop where my natural hair ends
2. Separate hair into small sections and braid very tightly for tight curls and vice versa
3. Gather together hot water in a kettle, a bow and a towel
4. Wet the braids with the water and soak each braid for about half a minute for it to be smooth
5. Dry hair and undo braids
6. Separate the curls, spritz with leave-in conditioner and moisturise if you need to and you've got yourself a brand new do.

There you have it, let me know below if you've tried this method before, I always use hot water to get my extensions curly. Also I'm looking into weaves for my next do, I want 100% Brazilian or something that is of great quality and that I can use heat on. If you guys purchase your hair online then please do let me know below off of which websites you order them from. All tips and tricks are much appreciated. xo

    Hot water is definitely a great way to get curls on braids! Try Aliexpress, they have great stuff at affordable prices for your hair. xx

      I answered your question on my blog but just in case, regarding Aliexpress, so far I only had good experience! I've never bought hair on eBay so I can't compare but I really like Aliexpress! :)

    Ohh I love how you've curled up the braids andddd if you're looking for good quality brazilian hair I suggest you try www.aliexpress.com ! You have a variety of styles,lenghts,haircolor etc. You just have to buy it from a seller that has many customer reviews and they save you a lot of money than buying it from an actually store plus they deliver within a week. All the long hair that you see on my blog are hair bought from aliexpress.com :)
