YARN BRAIDS!!

 

Last weekend my brother got married (WOOOT!) so my sister and I decided to do something different with our hair. We were getting pretty frustrated from being in our hair  all the time that we wanted to get it braided, but we just didnt find the right time until the wedding (perfect excuse!)  we opted for yarn braids following MsVcharles challenge to stay braided until March 2011. We are a bit behind on the challenge regarding time but this is my first set.

Here are some pics of the hair and wedding!

The wedding was F.U.N but the HAIR wasn't. First, it is way too tight, Tight enough that my hair is literally being torn out  by the hairline...... *sigh* and it itches, well my scalp does. I just can't WAIT to get them out, I don't think I'll last three weeks with these braids.... I'll keep you all updated!
