If you do decide to buy hair go for the hot water one it seals the hair by using boiled water saves the fingers from horrible burnt fingers lol remember those days.. Have a look on you tube for box braids. The trick is to get the hair close enough to the scalp without hair slippage.

How hot is the water boiling?

Boil the kettle half fill a measuring jug have a towel to hand as well, then I get a good bunch of braids & place them in the jug try to get much of the braid in as possible it doesn't matter if they bend. Keep in for about 30 secs then take out this is where the towel is handy as the plaits are very hot . I just pay the hair & let loose to cool down. Once cold I might trim the ends . hair before sealed & trimmed & hair sealed & trimmed

Do they all stay tight then till you put them in water?

N I get to the end of the braid i take a piece of the hair that's left like a few strands & wrap it around & pull through to make a knot at the bottom( hope that makes sense ) seal in the water then trim up to the knot or just above when hair is cold. The hair won't unravel if sealed properly. You can also tie with a small band then seal & trim.

You know when you do patterns with the braids like that lady has, do you section out the patterns before you start?

The scalp braids I mean

No I section as I go along. A lot of the patterns I do I just randomly make up as I go along. Unless it's a specific pattern they want. I have the layout in my head & just plait . Here are a few random ones I have done apart from the hearts .
