Waist is the part around your middle above your belly button. Waste is what you mean.
Add is in addition to. Ad aka advertisement is what you meant.

Does anyone check this stuff before you post? Over the half the pictures don't even show the hair you are talking about. That was a waist of a good add.

I keep growing my hair out, and then the stress of the weight of the hair gets to be too much from putting it up in braids, buns, ponytails, and updos, so I cut it back to shoulder length.

Having long hair and liking braids, I looked at all of the pictures and descriptions. I ended up with one question: Why do so many of the pictures not show the entire head? It's difficult to look at something described as a side braid, when the side of the head with the braid isn't included in the picture. Perhaps this is considered "artistic," but defeats the purpose of showing a hair style.
