New Hair

New hair and a lot of steps to get to it.
First I wanted to try something new with my hair, so I got just a few cornrows on the side as you can see here:

Then I thought, oh that looks nice, I might try to braid all of my hair, knowing that it would get a bit difficult with my dreadlocks in the back. You can't really see the dreadlocks in the back, but they're still around 35.
So on Sunday the 19th I went spontaneously with a friend to a hairdresser. Not knowing that the hairdresser is no expert at braids and she was so unfair, that she didn't tell me. I got to know later, that usually hairdresser tell if they are no experts at something, but because I'm a foreigner she thought I wouldn't notice anyway.
At the end it took 7,5 hours, because she let me wait over and over again not doing anything, she didn't braid my dreadlocks and it was made veeeery bad. Here some pictures:

As you can see the endings of the braids are very thin while the rest is normal. And that the dreads are not braided it looks very bad.
I came home on the Sunday and my hostmother was shocked how bad it was done. She comforted me and said that I should get it done again. So monday I went again, now to a hairdresser, that is expert at braiding. After 2 hours removing the hair and 3,5 hours constantly working at the hair and braiding also the dreadlocks, it looked very nice:



Now I just noticed, that my hair was a lot shorter than before, so tuesday I went one more time to the hairdresser and let her make it longer. 2 hours again and the final result was perfect!
(All together 15 hours.)


By the way the dress I just got from the tailor.
The hairstyle can be kept for one to three months and you can only wash your head skin, the hairs you don't wash.
