Step 1
Don't bother with Allen Iverson Braids if your hair isn't long enough to accommodate Allen's unique style of braiding. Because of the sharp turns and complex patterns your hair needs to be slightly longer than it does for normal braids, preferably 6-7 inches long. If it's much shorter than that you can always attempt but you should really wait and grow it a little bit.

Step 2
A.I. has some crazy designs in his hair which aren't up to the task of your every day braider, so you might want to call a few salons or braiding shops and ask them if they have a person who can handle Allen Iverson Braids.
-
Step 3
Not only do you want to make sure that the person doing your hair will be able to handle Allen Iverson braids but you need to be 100% sure that they know what you are talking about and have seen his braids before. Someone who doesn't know what you mean by Allen Iverson Braids is bound to screw up your hair and leave you angry. You want someone who is informed and on the same page as you.
-
Step 4
Get ready to wait and make sure that you are patient. Allen Iverson braids aren't created in minutes. It's a tedious process that can take well over an hour so don't get restless, just be patient and let the person doing your hair do what they do.
