I've been using braids with fake hair 'cause i live in Brazil and there's no colorful hair to braid around here, and i would die for pink/purple/blue braids! Do you think braids with yarn work well? (sorry about the giant comment) Have a good day, darling!

I usually keep mine in for 1 1/2 -2 months but they can definitely last for a while as long as you take care of it properly (frequently oiling and moisturizing scalp + washing to prevent product build up). I say you go for it!

@MotormouthMika8 жыл бұрын
how well do you think this method would work on other textures of hair like white and asian
@Afropunkie8 жыл бұрын
+Mikayla Mae (Mika) That's a good question. I've never witnessed it being done on white and asian textures but I definitely think it's doable. The rough texture of the yarn may overcompensate for the lack of grip on silkier hair. So when you go to do the wrapping method it should stick to the yarn braid underneath pretty well. I would definitely start out with maybe two strands of yarn to catch the hair so it doesn't slip off and then build from there. You might have to make the braid underneath longer to make sure that your hair is locked in if your texture is really silky and tends to unravel. I would love to see a tutorial if you decide to try it.

@Afropunkie8 жыл бұрын
+alex b I've definitely rocked yarn locs for 3 months before and it held up pretty well. I kept it fresh by redoing the front maybe every few weeks and making sure that I kept my scalp hydrated. I would wash as often as you can to get rid of any product build up.
@AndizzleXO8 жыл бұрын
How would you suggest washing it? This will be my first time trying it so this will be a bit of an experiment for me :)
@Afropunkie8 жыл бұрын
I would wash it like any other braids or locs. Just make sure you rinse very thoroughly because you dont want any build up in the yarn. Yarn tends to soak up a lot of water so you will spend a lot of time ringing it out and trying with your towel.

@Afropunkie8 жыл бұрын
oh noooo. Yea yarn has the tendency to soak up everything that's why its important to fill a spray bottle with water and a little bit of natural moisturizer and apply daily- that way its not so dry when you take it out.
@SJSmith-nu4ic8 жыл бұрын
You should try a cotton/silk blend like Debra Norville Cotton Silk Yarn. That way it soaks up less of the moisture. I've never done yarn dreads before I literally just stumbled upon this video randomly, but I do work with yarn (it's like my job lol) so I've learn from experience that cotton soaks up everything (when you swim in a crochet cotton top it can get heavy) but the cotton/silk blend doesn't (less heavy when you swim in it). Maybe that might help :)
