Oh yeah, I remember that band, they have pretty good songs, IMO. Anywho, if you are little apprehensive about about wearing braids in particular that have a plentiful of bright colors throughout your head, why not try out first all natural colored braids in your hair?
And when you want to go bold, highlighted it with colors! ^_^ I dunno what you look but I am bit darker than her, and I enjoy wearing bright bold colors. You just have to find what works for you. ^_^ I have had experiences with braiding, but I had someone else braid my hair. But recently, I experimented with a "extreme" colors in my hair:
Now, I am also experimenting with fake hair, and this is my first time trying to braid my hair with KK jumbo braiding hair. So excuse my braids. ^_^ But try to imagine the color combo allover my head. Yeah, pretty bold, but I think it's going to be sooo pretty! I am planning on using this combo plus some purple and turquoise KK hair, for Otakon, when I get back home...
So try it out! It would be great to post your progress with this! Good luck!
