https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/ Cianci's Braids https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004635 134004635 I haven't named this style yet but it is very easy to duplicate. The gentleman needed something live that wouldnt take long. To cater to his needs I cut time by using medium sized braids with a LIVE freestlye design that was undeniable and stood out from the rest.. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004636 134004636 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004637 134004637 3 layers is definitely the way to go if you want your hair to stay up a little longer. On average the charge for a style like this is 40 plus 10 for each additional layer. For instance. this is 3 layers which came out to 60.00. But well worth it as the style will stay neater longer in which case you save money in the end https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004638 134004638 I name these braids the Fan Style because I start very elegantly from one point and fan the braids out from that one point. In my opinion if your going with a type of straight back style with no designs this would be the livest way to go. You can pick which ever point that you want your braids to fan our from. Whether it be from the center or the side. Thin and elegant. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004639 134004639 This style was braided in 3 layers and sectioned with half of the braids going in one direction and the other half going another. Very cute for ladies. Guys you might want to stay away from this one .=) https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004640 134004640 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004641 134004641 This style was actually a duo . This is done in 3 layers also. 40 for the initial style price and 10 for each additional layer which came to a total of 60. This particular client and her husband got their hair alike this particular day. Awesome idea for couples. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004642 134004642 This style is a side Mohawk. All natural hair with bangs. Perfect for any age and versatile as far as styling goes, You can flat iron it or curl it , Put beads on it or even use nubian knots as well as french braid it. This allows you the flexibility in styling it so you dont get bored with just one style https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004643 134004643 These braids are very thin and elegant looking, keeping the style looking fresher longer. Can be done with or without bangs, as well as with or with out hair https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004644 134004644 This was a unique type of mohawk style. The mohawk was parted into an S shape and then braided with braiding weave. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004645 134004645 The original hair color is a multi blonde some light and some dark. In this style I used 2 colors of weave. A dark blonde and a very small portion of very light blonde. Adding the small portions of light blonde allows a blend that creates a highlighted look and brings out the face as well as the style https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004646 134004646 These braids here are what I call three piece chainlinks. I say three piece because as you can see each chain link is done with 3 braids. One straight down the middle with the 2 outer braids crossing over in a figure 8 type style to create a look similar to a chain link. Original chainlinks do not have the straight braid in the middle. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004647 134004647 They start at an angle in the front but end up straight down in the back. By adding a thin straight braid in between each chain link it separates each one and makes each 3 piece stand out separately https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004648 134004648 This is a pic taken from the left side angle. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004649 134004649 This is something simple, Straight braids at an angle with a chain link in the middle. This is an example of an original chain l ink , Unlike the 3 piece chain link there is no line in the middle https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004650 134004650 There are a number of ways to do zig zags. This is just one. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004651 134004651 This is a ponytail done with natural hair, Something simple with a side curve to compliment the face https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004652 134004652 Fishbones. As you can see this particular style of fish bones is parted at angles to add a little creativity to your traditional straight back fishbone. I can do fishbones in many different styles with tons of creative swag wrapped into it to make it unique ,special and of course LIVE. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004654 134004654 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004655 134004655 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004656 134004656 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004657 134004657 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004658 134004658 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004659 134004659 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004660 134004660 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004661 134004661 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004662 134004662 This is my mother. Mrs. All Natural. I do her micros on a regular basis with all her natural hair and none added. She refuses the weave everytime I try but I cant say I blame her, her natural hair looks great and the size of the braids makes her hair look full and vibrant. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004665 134004665 Ponytail w/ hump on top, https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004666 134004666 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004667 134004667 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004668 134004668 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004669 134004669 Able to braid names/ words etc. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004670 134004670 Sometimes when your hair is too short to braid and the last thing you want to do is rock puff ball ponytails you have the option to get your hair cornrowed with rubberbands. It looks and lays just like braids but the hair is not braided only connected with rubberbands resembling braid to keep your from having to go through the in between stage of your growing process https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004671 134004671 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004672 134004672 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004673 134004673 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134212324 134212324 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134212325 134212325 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134212326 134212326 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259237 134259237 This style is very simple however you never really do it the same way twice unless its from the top center point of your hairline. On this particular variation of the Fan Style braid I wanted to make sure that I made them small and neatly parted from one point. The most important part of this style is where that point is going to be. I analyzed her hair line a chose a point that I would fan out the braids from. The right point makes a difference.This was hers. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259238 134259238 I can do any design you choose up into a ponytail. With or without beads and with or with out weave. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259239 134259239 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259240 134259240 Another cute ponytail for little girls. Not too Dramatic or too grown and not to baby-ish as the call it =) Just the right amount of style to compliment their little personalities and make them feel pretty and happy about their hair. This style has a pink silk ribbon tied in a perfect bow. Super Cute! https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259241 134259241 I took these pictures while her ponytail was still pinned up to get good shots of the style. The ponytail was let down later. As you can see her could also be worn in a Bun. You can curl the ponytail, or krimp it, or press it straight. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259242 134259242 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259243 134259243 Go ahead and click on this picture to get a bigger view. The pic should blow up when you click on it. This is what I call Finger Wave Twisties. I have experience with all hair types, and textures. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134004664 134004664 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259244 134259244 Here I am braiding her hair to prepare for Sew-Ins. The hair is cornrowed to the scalp and the Human Hair is on a track that is sewn on to the braid with a Hair Needle and thread. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259245 134259245 This is with the hair sewn in . https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=134259246 134259246 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135218277 135218277 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135218278 135218278 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135218279 135218279 For this what was needed was something simple and quick but looked nice. Now I know a lot of parents dont like to put weave in their kids hair until they are teenagers. But if you need your little girls hair to stay neater longer I would definitely add some braiding weave to it. I personally use it with my daughter she is 7. She swims, plays, sleeps with out tying it down and it stays looking nice twice as long as her hair alone. With little girls I dont add the hair where its noticeable it looks very natural because I just add a little bit several times through out the braid as you can see her, https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135218280 135218280 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135218281 135218281 This is a braided low side ponytail with heartsbraided in the side and a couple pink beads added to the cornrow at the scalp. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135414951 135414951 This is the finished product of another one of my creative sessions where I get in my zone and just let my hands do the work. This is off the top of my head, spur of the moment https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135634945 135634945 It doesnt stop there the design is Live all the way to the back. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135634946 135634946 A close up of the back.Click ont the picture to blow it up and get a better view of it, The pic came out a ittle dark. https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135634947 135634947 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135634948 135634948 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135635449 135635449 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135737394 135737394 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135737395 135737395 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135737396 135737396 https://livebraids.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=135737397 135737397 This style is with all natural hair .
