im mixed just like you!! ( half ethiopian half white) and im very light skin and my hair is oddly textured, my curls are on the loser side but i have lots of different textures on my head.. i just wanted to know what texture your hair was?? and im rly fond of braids but ive never have them and i dont know if it would work on my hair alll too well...
My hair texture is…possessed haha. When I was really little it was really loose neat ringlets, turned into really tight frizzy ringlets from liike ages 6-13, and then around 14ish calmed down into ringlets the size of like, my thumb and pretty uniform until I started dyeing and straightening and doing all sorts of chemical/heat stuff on my hair, soo I didn’t see my natural texture for a long time. Now I’ve cut off most of the processed parts of my hair but it’s still random/recovering curl-wise. Some parts will be wavy/loose curls, some parts will do the tight wavy poodle looking texture, and other parts will do pinky sized to one inch ringlets. For the most part its really big crazy curls that grow out and up before down haha. My hair is currently in senegalese twists but I’ll post some texture pics next time my hair is out! If you wanna try braids, I say go for it! Youtube has a toooon of tutorials, and kanekalon is pretty cheap (I buy it for like $1-3 a pack, and my head takes around 10 packs). So if you have a day to set aside and maybe someone to help I say try it out if you wanna! Worst case scenario-you’re out $10-$30+a day and have to take em out. Lemme know if you have any questions!!
