A footnote to both that and my own suggestion is only to use the method on synthetics, not natural fibers which burn instead of melt. I've seen my dad use the stove, and have burned myself with matches doing this ), but this is only a guess. It seems to me that this wouldn't work as well for this purpose, even though it finishes the ends of individual cords nicely, since the melting is much more localized than using an actual match/lighter/gas stove flame (lighters work best, I think. I'm not sure how well the method someone else suggested (using a hot blade/wire to cut off the ends) works, because I've actually been waiting for an order of new (cheap) knives to arrive before I try it (I don't want to risk my beloved pocketknife this way, and I actually just found out about the method of heating a knife.).

The braided cylinder may be hollow, or the braid may be formed. Just like other long-term protective styles, yarn braids last up to two months, giving you a long break from your natural hair. Since yarn comes in many varieties, you have endless color options to choose from. I guess I should elaborate on "sucks." I mean that it's difficult to get it to look good, and it's pretty crude. A braided yarn is constructed by weaving a collection of fiber bundles, called carrier yarns, together into a cylindrical jacket the carrier yarns are passed over and under one another as they are drawn together, forming a structure that will not easily unravel. Since yarn comes in many varieties, you have endless color options to choose from. Now, this method kind of sucks, and I presume grows much more impractical if you try it on something larger, such as this project. The only way I've ever done it is by melting the string (I only ever use synthetic string, for the most part, because for some reason I can never find anything else) so that the ends of everything fuse together.
