So I went to the BSS on Friday on the hunt for some cute earrings. After browsing the store I saw that freetress (milkyway brand) was on sale for $7.99. I have been thinking about getting a protective style because the winter is no joke, but didn't know what to get. After talking to one of the workers (who was very helpful), I walked out with 2 bags of hair a needle some thread and 2 pairs of earrings. My total $23!!! After looking on youtube for tutorials on how to do a sew in, I cornrowed my hair and my lovely mommy sewed it in. Total time about 4 hours. I used almost all the hair, only about 1/4 of the second bag left. I love it and plan to keep it for at least 4-6 weeks!!!! YAY woot!

I only left out about an inch wide of my hairline, and two strand twist and pin back the front to blend[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yea the cost at a salon can be CRAZY!!! My braids aren't neat I have about 10 going straight to the back. Also the hair is sythetic, not as pricey as some of the human hair brands

You look too cute! Go girl! Just so you know Milky Way Que is human hair and its pretty cheap if you decide to do another sew in. I used to use it AAALLL the time and it blended very well with my hair. I used straight hair and it was $14.99 a pk for a 12 in.
