Hey guys, sorry for the double post.
I just decided I would try putting my hair into braids again since I just got my hair cut and now the natural layers are mostly the same length, so the braids won't fall out now like they used to. It's really difficult for me to do one braid down the back, so I did pigtails instead. I think it looks alright, but it looks sort of odd unless I'm wearing some kind of headwear like a bandana. What do you guys think? Can I pull it off?
All you're missing now is a guitar and a few hit records!
"On the road again..."
Lol
wow..that must be a pain in the arse to do...I don't think the bandana is necessary though..lookin' great!
That's a great look for you. I wear my hair like that sometimes. I would not feel it necessary to wear a headband. Although, I could see how one would feel it makes the look more masculine. I at least don't. I've noticed that when I wear my hair like that, I find it hard to be in a bad mood. It's a light-hearted look.
Wow, that is some awesome braiding work right there. Pull it off you say? you pull it off from the roots of the scalp!
This is the style of choice for my mother when she doesn't want her hair to get tangled and knotty, especially when sleeping.
The bandana goes well with the braids aswell. It's like a cross of 'feminine' hairstyle with a masculine rockstar look.
my stepmom does that. but she flips the braids on top of her head and then wraps her head tightly with a scarf which i hate lol i wish she would leave it down but she's convinced her hair is ugly lol
80s, think Sitting Bull instead of womanly. He pulled off feathers and fur wraps in his hair with those braids and didn't lose one bit of masculinity, he only enhanced it.
Brazjol, the look is great on you. You already do pull it off. The single braid takes practice and will come in time, you don't have to wait until calf length to learn like I did. As others have said, even the bandanna is optional. Every time you try a new style it will look unusual to you but after seeing yourself with the braids I think you can try without the bandanna sometimes and it will still be you.

Can you pull it off? Totally, dude! They look awesome on you, particularly with the bandana. I'd like to see how they look without something over the top, but at any rate, they're pretty sweet right now. Wish I had enough hair for that...
Keep up the stellar progress!
i'm sure you can. judging from the pic with the pig tails, it looks like you already have enough hair lol
nice! the 2 braids is how a lot of
native american men wore there hair
so don't let anyone try to tell you
that it looks fem
WOW! Amazing! I have a strong urge to try that style when my hair gets long enough!!!!!!
Excellent ! Sort of gives you an "Orlando bloom" look...
WWT

You look great in the braids its better to wear them than in a ponytail ( unless its Segmented ) like some have said it stops your hair from getting tangle when wearing it in a braid yeah id say you can pull it of even though it looks awesome hanging down on you to and the bandana is a great addition to your look to, Before i cut my mane last time I was starting to learn how to self braid mine yep they are very hard to do yourself unless you get someone to do you the single braid!
Have you gone out in public yet in your braids or are you seeing what response you get from this post !

No, not really yet. I've just been wearing it to sleep and around my dorm a bit. I know it doesn't look bad, but I just feel sort of goofy with two braids, and I know some jackass is going to make some sort of reference to pippy longstockings or something. Not like it really bothers me that much, but whatever. Just rambling.
If that doesn't make much sense I'm a bit inebriated at the moment..
So What its your hair and you wear it how you want to wear it to maybe you should just get you girlfriend to put it in one braid for you but before you do that post and see what comments you get on just the one braid I reckon that would look as good as the two you are wearing in the picture :-)
Axel
Absolutely! It looks sensational.
hehe yea. but i would definitely keep the bandana if i were gonna wear pigtails lol. your hair looks really silky. keep growing!
Absolutely, the combination of braids and bandanna look great together.
Absalom
Can I pull it off?

Hi Brazjol,
the braids and the bandana look phantastic! I also noted the short goatee and your ear studs - perfect style! You should be able to pull off this style and variations thereof everywhere, perhaps some backwards "Easy Rider"-type villages in the boondocks excepted ;-) It certainly will be received perfectly well in Berlin and in Hamburg (I thought I had read somewhere that your German is accent-free...)
One curious question: The bright skin color, is that a photo effect or is it Gothic-type make-up?
Have a great time, and grow it on forever!

Thanks!
No, I don't wear makeup or anything, it's just a crappy webcam photo, and the exposure is poor.
You're hair looks mega cool and the braids mesh really well with the bandanna. I read you're initial update and you're hair is truly something to envy and I hope that mine can match yours when I get to you're current stage. Anyway congrats and look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
Congrate and peace Brazjol.
Way awesome! Has anyone ever told you you look like Legolas from Lord of the Rings? Your hair is looking superb! Keep up the good work!
Sure you can pull it off. It would probably look just as nice without the bandanna as with it.
Those braids are super cool.
