MY GENIE LOCS/ YARN BRAIDS

a new style that i got from naturals on youtube just wanted to share =) Alright, well first you definitely don't have to dye your hair black, I just love black hair. But if your hair is already dark brown it should be fine.

I used 3 pieces of yarn for the back of my head and also made the braids in the the back a little bigger for thickness and to save time.

For the front of my head I only used two pieces of yarn and made the braids smaller for a neater look. (oh and by the way I burned the ends with a lighter after making a little knot to hold the braid like blackonyx did)

I had 3 layers. Once you cut the yarn for the length you want it in the very back, you cut all the pieces the same length. I maybe did around 4 rows in the back the longest length. Then I went on to the next row and cut maybe 1.5 or 2 inches off to create a layered look. Then when I got to the top of my head, I did the same thing for the last layer

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
