Braids on Long hair

[MsGardner78]

My hair is past SL and not quite APL. Has anyone have any pics of pixie braids on hair this long. I really want to braid hair just not sure it will look right. I will do them myself, just never done them on hair as long as mine. Any suggestions or pics would help!!

I have pics of my braids in my fotki...I don't know what pixie braids are though. My hair was between SL and APL here

Sometimes fotki links to pics just disappear, so here is the link to album in case

Thanks, I'll be sure to tell her She's been doing my braids like this every winter for years. She used to braid for other people too but not anymore

I was trying to find a picture of the hair I used but I couldn't

It looks like this

but it is by Beverly Johnson...I think it's just called Pony...it could be silky pony but it's definitely NOT Yaki pony - Yaki gets too tangled. I have tried other brands but Beverly Johnson is my fave.

I use 5-6 of them without cutting any of them (and my head is quite big!) my mum makes sure to take a little bit more of my own hair and a little less of the extension so that I don't have too many braids on my hair but so that it doesn't look gappy either

To seal the ends, my mum dips them in hot water then uses hair oil/grease...something heavier like DAX works great.
