I just wanted to post that I have made the tutorial on accomplishing these dread braids. Follow the link to view the tut. When you get to the page, be sure to click on "More" and then "Full Screen" to view it best.

http://prezi.com/cquqeoec63v_/hair-exte ... d-braids/I looked at my Mardi Gras hair from last year which was made in an absolute RUSH and decided it wasn't good enough no'mo. So I chose to do the traditional Mardi Gras colors (purple, green, and gold) in a pastel, bright, and dark palette. 10 p/g/g pastels, 10 p/g/g brights, 10 p/g/g darks AND 10 all purples, 10 all greens, 10 all golds.

Mardi Gras 2011
Colors: Lavender, Mint, Yellow (pastels) Purple, Lime, Gold (brights) Eggplant, Pine, Dijon (darks)
Styles: Dread braids!
60DEs at 12-16”

Looks epic! Love your fringe! When did you end up dyeing your hair funky colours eh? I always see you with the blonde and a fake fringe!

Muahahaha! I did no dying and it's not fake. I used body artist paint right over my blondey hair. Works a treat, unless it rains.

I am actually working on a tutorial right now. Basically because you rip the wool into section prior to braiding, it leaves the ends wispy, therefor the braid becomes thinner.
