does anybody know roughly the cost of getting your hair braided?
basically I have medium length hair, and I wanted to possibly for my 18th get it braided all over, with red and black colours woven ino it. But I'm not sure how much this would cost...
I live near London, but if anybody knows of any places where it is quite cheap/ cheaper than most other places to get it done, it would be muchly appreciated
or any tips in general... thank you!

My friend learnt how to do it herself in the end, but its really quite hard to do unless you know what your doing.
Its a great look. Hope you find somewhere to get it done.
Peace
but i braided up my friend's hair for her, took loads longer (12 ish hours) but only cost the price of the hair (£25).
if you do decide to have it done professionally, look at salons that deal with afro hair, as they tend to be much better, cheaper and quicker than salons aimed at caucasian hair.
yeah, my hair was definitely not the happiest bunny around after. because of the weight of the hair, and all the pulling on your scalp, it pulls a good lot of your hair out. which is ok if you have pretty thick hair to start with, but if not, be prepared to look like you're going slightly bald for a couple of months after. and a lot of people get sores around their hairline where the baby hairs are pulled tight into the braid.
it's pretty painful to sleep on the first few nights.
and because you can't just wash it the way you can normal hair, and it takes an age to dry, your hair can start to smell a bit, and get dandruffy around the tops. yum.
looks cool on some people though... i couldn't cope with it for longer than a few weeks though....
lol, after reading that, its really offputting, i dont think id ever want it done now!
Took most of them out a couple of days later, I didn't like the way it made the top of my head look! Kept loads of the ones underneath though and it looked much much better.
She had to take it all out a week later cause school didn't like it...:mad:

well...my hair's pretty thick, so i *think* i'd be ok... as for price, it's my 18th, so i'm hoping that my mum n dad would be able to pay for that. it's just something i've wanted done for aaages...
hmm well i could go to camden and get it done there I suppose.
ok, but i don't know where any are!!! anyone else have any idea??
