Eimii - I can do my hair like this and mine isn't thick at all. I plait my fringe into it as Im growing out so its basically all the front of my hair. Just make sure you're taking hair from both sides of your head and not one then it should be plenty thick enough.

 

[Eimii]

^ Yes, I think that's the problem. that I am not using enough hair from the other side and I think I need to use other hair apart from my fringe to make it thicker, I will try that and report back, thankyou!

I'm obsessed with braids.. there seems to be at least one small braid in my hair at all times!

2 years ago I tried out a Heidi braid for a Mardi Gras Ball.. but then again, my hair was MUCH longer, and I used about 50 bobby pins. Nowdays it looks much messier when I braid it (cause it's french across) but I don't mind.

I know this sounds so silly but is anyone able to explain how to do french braids on yourself. Just simple-ish instructions would be great?
