What a great idea. I will have to try this next time. Can you show us how it is suppose to look when the whole head is done? Also I think using a bead needle would be a faster way of threading the beads in. Thanks so much
@Mama Thank you! There's no limitations to what you can do with this method--let your imagination be your guide. I typically only put these type of designs on two or three braids, I don't do the entire head BUT here's an example of how I did something close using the bow beads. http://mochamom-cherishmydaughter.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html That should link you to my post "The beads are back!"

ReplyDeletei cant wait to try this! i have never had my box braids turn out looking very good so i think im going to try it with 2 strand twists.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this video! Very clever way to use beads and not wreck the ends. Love your blog.
