Hello, I’m still really new to braiding my hair, however I wanted to create these curls at the end of my hair however I’ve realised now that I didn’t stretch the extension, the ends are all blunt cut, can I still do these curls, could I maybe use Feathering scissors to make the ends stretched?

Rant: I wish kinky/coarse hair was celebrated as much as curly hair is. If it were, I think I’d rock my natural hair more often. Constantly having people ridicule your hair for being “nappy” weighs you down after awhile, y’know?

I'm gonna be brave and post the crochet twists I got two weeks ago. Have been self conscious..
