Alongside the braid pattern, agree on these three details.
Your current length
A photo cannot tell you whether your hair can achieve that look. Show how you wear it now and ask what can be adapted without adding extensions.
The pattern
Look at the partings, the direction of the braids and how they frame the face. A front view and a side view help you choose.
Length and finish
Decide how long you want the braids, whether the ends should be loose or braided, and how you would like to tie them up. Bring a photo showing the whole hairstyle.
