Here’s a little secret about me: I’m awful at doing my hair.
I can hardly manage to put my hair in a ponytail, let alone a bun. Dye jobs, bobby pins and curling irons all scare the hell out of me. And I know I’ve said it before, but sometimes I can’t even remember to brush my hair (that’s not normal, right?).
Though my own limited abilities make it hard to see what amazing things other people can do with their hair, these gorgeous, intricate ‘dos deserve some serious spotlight.
Check out these intense braids while I go cry in the corner.
Would you attempt any of these styles?

We could be best friends. I LOVE braiding other people’s hair… because my hair isn’t long enough to braid. HAHA

I have done most of these with my hair. (1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9–and first two shown on page)

These braids never look as nice in curly hair, plus it’s so much harder to handle and look neat- even if you’re going for the “messy” look. Oh well.

OP: i found that the “worse” i treat my hair the better it looks. by that i mean minimal washing, rarely conditioning, and i almost never comb/brush after a shower (or even the next day). my hair has a crazy curly-when-short texture that looks better the less i do to it….
However when i have long hair, i do love braiding it…..even if it is a bitch to do to yourself. I like braiding other people’s hair better!

I can braid fairly well, but I have such thin hair so it never looks as good as the girls in the pictures.
