Trensas (Braids)

[BlueEyes]

Just to correct some of you there called corn ROWS , cause they look like rows of corn. But there cute I do braids and corn rows to my daughters hair all the time I like it cause she has really long hair and you can leave them in for a few days cause she hates when I brush her hair.

I think it looks good. I know how to do all kinds of braids. I do micro-mini braids like the morenitas do. I remember one time I was doing my homegirls hair and some black girls came by and they were like, "nah ah, whatchu tryna do? You cant braid!" and they looked at what I'd done so far and they were like, "oh shit this girl can braid!" Then they was askin me to do they hair for them pero I charged them 5 bucks each. And thats cheap because it cost hella more in the salon. And I do designs. I know how to cross em and stuff. Pero yeah, Im glad I know how because I've had traumatizing experiences and dont nobody but me touch my hair. Ima do my hair today and take pics and put em in the gallery.

This one morena braided my hair in corn rolls. (Now that I know the difference thanks to you ) They went all the way to my waist, I almost wanted it to look like I had dreads (*spelling) or dread locks but looking like a trensa. I even made her put that lil bolita at the end of the braid, you know how some morenitas chiquitas have them also. Yeah, so she would pull the tip of my head and get my hair REEEAAALLLLY TIIIIGGGHHT, and shit she did make my eyes watery, but you know what I kinda liked the pain, (hee hee hee)

Oooh, that paint from when you take them out and brush your hair. It hurts but feels good at the same time. Thats the best part of having some nice tight braids.

I like doing braids on other people

But they do look pretty cool whenever i do them on myself

Yes, Nelio, when you braid your hair it does make your hair grow longer. And it works too!

I do my hair in corn rows sometimes but its hard doing them on yourself.....I do my mans too and I hate it......he knows it but I would rather do it than have him pay $30 for getting it done.

I like it when women have braids. Especially when I'm hitting it from the back and I pull them.

[Eseloco]

^^I concur.

[just tru]

I like to wear french braids in the summer.

^do you do it yourself or have someone do it for you?

[xicanachick]

As a kid my mom would braid my hair everyday for school so that it wouldn't get tangled during recess. They're more difficult for me to do now with layers in my hair but I'll braid my hair every once in a while. It makes me think of my childhood and being a "plain jane"

[Suavecitita]

I like doing snake braids also.

^I know what you mean by braiding long hair, it does tend to tire the arms and hands. You have such beautiful hair Brownie.

[PhiLLyMexican]

[Suavecitita]

^just because you asked Philly.

The top half of the head is a French Braid. I added some flowers to make it look pretty. =)

I can french braid, but I can't do a one on myself, just can't, so my mommy or my sis-in-law does it for me.
I don't wear it that way often, but I think it's cute.

[Suavecitita]

I learned to do French braids myself by watching a friend of mine doing it herself. =)
