Since I was six years old, I had to put my hair up in a bun with pins for dance class. The pins would always fall out on to the floor when I danced. When I was 12, I designed a way to put my hair up without pins, The Weave. That's how I got into the braid business. I wrote this book on braids because I wanted to share my ideas about braiding hair. This year, I decided to write this book to demonstrate how to braid hair in exotic ways. I love to create new braids and plan to continue making new braids for my second edition. You can also create your own braids. Parting your hair in different ways can make braids look completely different. Try weaving extra hair or putting the excess hair in a ponytail. Braiding is fun. These braids look fancy but actually are quite simple to do. With these easy instructions, you can create beautiful braids. By using your new braiding skills, you can create amazing braids yourself *This book is great for teens, moms, hairstylists, models and more
