My braids and their jewels

You guys probably want to kill me. I sure hope not though. I know I promised about a week ago to let you see my braids and I intend to keep that promise..despite how late I may be on doing that. Here they are. I took these today.

Here is the back and top

These are some jewels I made for them

and here is the full back view

I really do like the braids and I have bonded with the jewels in the past week...as silly as that may sound. Even Though the braids have not even been in for a full half a month, they have been through a lot!! A whole day of pool water and about 4 washes. You might be able to tell I am enjoying them.

I treat them just as much as I torture them though. I spray them every night with a mister I made of left over taliah waajid, water and amla infused coconut oil. So they are needless to say, very forgiving towards me for my actions. I should be pulling them out by the first of September (I initially planned for the 5th) because I will be starting a new growth group on K.I.S.S that will require me to submit a current hair pic, without any additions.
