Hi, I need a little help. With how the economy is right now, I can’t afford to get my hair professionally braided, so I’m planning on doing it myself. I want something simple and easy, so I’m thinking about doing medium twists using the rubber-band crochet method.
I’m wondering if I can use this same parting map for my style. I want medium parts so it doesn’t take all day, but I’m not sure if twist installs use the exact same parting pattern as braids. For the braiders out there — can I use this parting map? Do you have any tips or advice for doing this myself? Any help would be appreciated with a full heart.
You can use this chart if you are a beginner. I always feel like this chart doesn't make the head look full, but once you get more used to braiding you'll be able to deviate. Crochet braids are super easy just give yourself time and don't rush.
If you don't have a friend to help with parting the back use a three way mirror or set your phone up to cast to a TV so you can see the back. I personally think the back of my head isn't my business lol
