Bad Braids

See these braids? Huh? See 'em?

THEY HURT!

And this is why I don't like going to salons. My hair was supposed to be in individual plaits just one inch below shoulder length. Also... and some say I'm wrong... but she used way too much hair. I feel like I have a neatly placed mop on my head. My hair is so tight and (despite my complaints) they are still drawing my scalp together. You can see it close up . I prefer natural looking extensions. I can't even wrap a new black goody band around my hair twice when it's in one. *sigh* Gentle people, these cost too much for me to be this upset.

Regrets never help much though, so this is just my way of venting and hopefully not bringing it up again. From here on I will continue my braids styling challenge to do 15 styles by December. Hopefully the low-maintenance will give me a good protective style and I'll have record growth by November/December. I'll do my hair in extensions again in January when I visit Jamaica and I KNOW I'll be satisfied with the result there.
