[MissLatinaRockstar]

do you know if you can use yarn for short dreadlocks?

[laabellaz]

@MissLatinaRockstar I am not to sure about that one. sorry

[shamia3121]

@MissLatinaRockstar yes u can....a shop where i am does them for you when you wana hide your hair for a while. so im pretty sure you can jus install them at home yourself using the sections that are already parted

[meroekhalia]

I could do this with my locs! How come I never thought of this??? lol

[laabellaz]

@meroekhalia RIGHT!!! LOL... :)

[KNadineR]

You are beautiful sis, looks great on you!

[laabellaz]

@KNadineR awww thanks so much!!!

[Msslovelee]

Very pretty! Can you tell how you styled your braid. did you start off with braid first? or did you blow dry hair first or freshly washed hair. whats the technique?

[laabellaz]

@Msslovelee thanks so much! well the yarn braids are braided all the way till the ends, then I used a lighter to seal the ends. I used two strands of yarn and my hair was the third strand to complete the braid. Then once my hair ended, I split the two strands of yarn to make up the third strand.. I did blow my hair out first on freshly washed hair and spray leave in conditioner then shea butter before braiding. Hope that helps

[Msslovelee]

@laabellaz Thanks! :)

@SoFine163 Awww thank you!!! :)

[bellabritt16]

@SoFine163 I was thinking the same thing, only my thoughts were in English, lol. At first I was like it's Riha....ohh, not it's not. :)

Btw, do you have a tutorial bid for the yard braids?

[laabellaz]

@bellabritt16 I get Rihanna alot, especially when I had short hair. But thanks for the compliment. BTW, I dont have a tutorial for the yarn braids, just style ideas mainly

[0motema0]

So so pretty!!! Please tell me the name of the song...I like it! Thanks!

[laabellaz]

@0motema0 Thanks so much! The song is by Adele called "Turning Tables (Acoustic Live)"

[yvette994]

i've been natural for a while now and i usually wear my hair in two strand twists (which I do love) but i know it'll just be easier for me to get yarn braids since they last much longer and i don't have to really "bother" with my hair for a while....you have definitely convinced me! (now, i just have to learn how to do them and gear up for the long hours of putting them in...LOL!)

[laabellaz]

@yvette994 this is such an easy style to put in, just have to sacrifice the time to do is. You can definitely YT videos on how to install the yarn braids, that's what I did! Really EASY. I don't do hair at all, but I myself have managed to get them, so if I can do it, you can do it. lol. Thanks for watching.

[yvette994]

love, love, love this hairstyle!!! i really have been seriously thinking about putting yarn braids in my hair for a while now. they look fantastic on you! you did a wonderful job with them!
