How to braid Short Hair
Last week I received my first How-to type question, fantastic this means there are actual real people reading my ramblings. The Question was ‘Steph how do I braid my short hair?’ Crestfallen I realized I know next to nothing about braiding short hair, but my only reader is relying on me for an answer. So what to do? I could pretend that I never received the question or I thought, naively I could learn all about short hair braiding and then answer the question.
So off I went to Google and typed in “braided hair” and clicked on the first site, which turned out to be braidedimage.com – Karen Ribble’s site all about hair braiding.
Karen who was taught to braid by her mother and maternal grandmother, practiced her technique on her two sisters as she grew up and attributes this as to why she is now such an accomplished braider. She has been braiding professionally for eighteen years and has developed over 100 of her own braids as well as authored a number of excellent books and videos.
As for short hair braids Karen say’s that she can braid hair as long as it is over 3-4 inches.
The below pictures show some of Karen’s short hair Braids.
