I’m fine with the actual braiding but I find it so hard to part my own hair 😭

noo . lets talk about how pretty she is like um whattt

Box braiding guide to success:
1. Time. It takes a lot of time so if u want it to turn out good and fast, don’t watch tv while braiding. The best thing to do is vibe to music or a podcast, or talk on the phone. U need to be looking at the mirror and ur hair,  or ur tv.

2. Be patient. If it doesn’t work out the first time, try again. I’ve tried doing box braids 3 times before I got it to look good and stay on. It takes practice.

3. Don’t be buying no cheap hair. Go to sally and buy the good hair. I’m not talking bout the real human hair, but the kind that she has in the video. Try getting some that’s already feathered and ready to go besides the separating

4. Parting is hard, so if u can ask ur mom or whatever, do so. If u need help don’t be scared to ask. I look up videos on how to part better and they really help.

5. Keeping your braids straight down is very important because u don’t want no crusty braids that aren’t laying down flat. U can make them lay down buy taking some hot water in a big cup or something similar and dipping you braid in all the way to ur head, but don’t burn ur scalp. Leave it in for a few seconds and then take it out and move on. A lot of people forget to do the boil heating thing at the end but it’s super important for flat beautiful braids. Rock ur hair bby🤷🏽‍♀️😙

I may start on mine tonight. I'm tired of looking raggaly😂. I look like somebody's ex girlfriend that gave up on herself😂

Took me two days and ended up with 81 braids but I love them! I'm 21 and this is my first time braiding my own hair :') Thank you for this tutorial!!

So I attempted to do this and braid my hair for the first time so let me just share my experience:

1- She was 100% correct, parting was the hardest part. Even if you have all the mirrors in the world, there are still some blind spots that you’ll just have to guess on. Let your mama help you cuz that’s what I had to do 😂
2- The rubber bands made the gripping a lot easier. I attempted to do it without and I failed. Because it is my first time, it helped me a lot.
3- The top of my braids are really really tight because I took the pressure tip wayyy too far. The braids looked uneven because I was applying too much pressure when I should have eased up as I went further down.
4- I didn’t put any product in my hair before braiding. It would have made my hair slick and impossible to grip because I’m a beginner.
5- The more braids I did, the better they looked. My first braid is hideous but my last braid is my favorite.
6- Buy a LOT of braiding hair. I overestimated the packs and almost ran out because I didn’t buy enough. Don’t make the same mistake as me.
7- It takes time!!! The parting alone took around 2 hours because I wanted it to be PERFECT. (Spoiler alert: I still couldn’t get it to be perfect.) I started everything at 6pm and finished at 3 in the morning. But again, it was my first time.
Hopefully this helps you guys 🤎

I know this vid is from 4 years ago but I had to comment lol. I haven’t had box braids in my hair for over 5 years, I’ve finally built up the confidence to try again. I’ve bought the hair and am now just researching like crazy to build up the motivation. I’ve never done box braids on my own hair or anyone else’s either. I may be speaking too soon but this is the first method that seems relatively manageable for me. I think I’m ready 😅

My mom is white and I never had a relationship with my father. I finally get to connect to my roots by following this video and not having to pay for someone to pull on my scalp. This video is a godsend! I thank you so much❤🥺

So nobody is gonna talk about how beautiful her natural hair is?! Goals!

just because of you i’m going to do my own box braids 😌

I truly loved how you didn’t use any edge control or gel on your roots ! Looks great!

I feel like I would be able to do this but my mom thinks I will mess it up. But she loses because she has to pay 80-100 dollars every two months when I could do this for like 10-30 dollars. But anyways you did your thing 💯

watched this last night and today i did braids for the first time and was successful thank you so much
