Braiding Styles with Afrelle Braid

Just wanted to share some cool videos on different braiding styles accomplished with the Afrelle Braid.
The most fun about braids in my opinion is that you can vary the styles every day.
After seeing the videos below I will never again think that braids can be boring.
The styles you will see below were done by professional hairstylists using the Afrelle Braid by Janet Collection.
All you need is some soft hair for braiding and imagination. You can truly be creative with the soft braids.
