Indiviual mini braids or box braids on Boys and girls

So i did this style a long time ago on Tye Like October 2011, It was one of my favorites,

1.  I didn't have to comb it
2. it didn't take too long to put in
3.  and I think his hair really retained some its growth

But  I did not like taking them out... it was soo tedious... I attempted to take them out dry which was my first mistake and with out a comb.... I promise it took me at least 2 weeks to take them out completely... but once i used a comb and a some spray we were good to go

i semi used a thecnique i learned from my blogger friend Rae over

tweeny hair, a awesome site for styles for older children

this is 6 weeks after i did them, they lasted a while

our poor backyard, wondering what happened? the California wind storms and you can see i was starting to take them out

my poor ashy baby, i should've used Johnson's and Jonson's baby lotion, lol
