Alannah Rae I think it depends on the density of your hair. Depends on how many strands of hair you have. But she had a jumbo pack. It also depends on how many braids you have to make on your head.
im only 12 years old and i told my momma i wanted to start braiding my own hair in singles, box braids, crorchet, and cornrows and in less in 3 weeks, i learned how to do them and now my friends my sister and family want me to do they hair lol but i be getting cramps in my hands and they dont understand the pain!!
Girl you're just like me lol, I started learning to braid hair when I was 11. of course I'm 22 now, but it's def a great talent to have! You should definitely do it as a little side gig make some extra spending cash.
Giiirl, same! I did them on myself two times before I finally got the hang of it 😩 Practice really does make perfect! I'm so happy to hear that you didn't give up - So proud of you, love! 💖
When you took the cap off and all that long beautiful hair came down I was like, wth does she need extensions just braid your own hair. But then I realized you add the hair to maintain your natural hair. You did an excellent job. I have not braided my hair since the late 70's, yes I said 70's, I'm an old head. The world of hair and technique has evolved immensely so I've been watching videos to get a better idea of how its done these days. Lol Any way keep doing what you do, you're a beautiful young lady. Peace and Blessings to you. One.....
i’m going to be completely honest. i have seen a lot of tutorials on doing your own braids, & yours is by far the best! they look sooo nice & pretty! 😍😍😍😍
Whenever I try to do my own braids the hardest part is blending my real hair with braiding hair because of the fact that my hair is so thick. And the ends of the braiding hair only look good for like a day
Katherine Arias try twisting or braiding your own hair first. That way it's already tight and together then keep it behind the hair while braiding and it'll blend perfectly.
Omg best tutorial ever! Your braids look better than anyone I’ve seen on TH-cam and I love how you actually show how you part it! By the way your beautiful also!
this is by far the best tutorial i've seen. i wanted to learn how to braid during quarintine and this tutorial SAVED me and i gave my sister box braids !
Thank you so much!! I did my first box braids on my own hair yesterday just finish today !!! I thought I would never learn how to do box braids but now I can!!! Thank you soooooo much !! I can finally do my own hair!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕🙌🏾😘😘😘...! Thanks for this method of doing box braids
I wanted to thank you for this video. I have been wanting to do braids on my 16yr olds hair and didn’t even know where to start. My daughter has long beautiful curly hair like you do. I tried doing these braids on my daughters hair and they came out beautifully. Sooo thanks again! 😊
You are literally the ONLY hairstylist i have watched that have let followers, aspiring hair artists KNOW what to use product-wise to keep hair intact!!! 😍😍😍
Like a PRO! It literally looks like someone did it for you! Your right, it is super intimidating to braid your own hair, but after watching this, I'm definitely going to give it a try!
Thanks to your tutorial, my first set of box braids was a big success! I've been receiving numerous of compliments as well as people wanting me to do theirs lol. But, thank you so much & God bless!❤️
AFTER WATCHING 6 VIDEOS PRIOR TO YOURS, I FINAALLLYYY FOUND SOMEONE WHO EXPLAINED IT TO THE POINT WITH HAIR PORTIONS, EASY APPLYING ETC. AND DID WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE !!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! AND YOUR HAIR IS THE SAME TEXTURE AS MY DAUGHTERS SO THIS WAS PERFECTO!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤♥♥♥♥♥❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this! I've been struggling to find a protective style for my daughter's hair & she's been dieing to color her hair, but I don't want her to damage it with bleach. We went to a supply store & she picked X-pression pre-stretched in 130S it's a bright cherry red. After watching this video I feel confident that I can care for her hair without spending a ton at the salon, thank you
Did you head feel heavy? Was it tight when you moved your hair or anything? I’ve had braids before but they were really heavy and my scalp didn’t like it at all. These look so light and the way it’s attached to your hair doesn’t look to tight or anything.
Kaynificent I have box braids and yes for the first week my head was sooo heavy and tight. Like I couldn’t just turn my neck I had to turn my whole head 😂 but after a week it all stopped :)
It depends on bow your braided braids it. The first time I got my hair braided I thought I wasnt gonna be able to sleep etc. But they didnt hurt so I mean everybody's different ig
If your scalp feels itchy, soak them in Apple cider vinegar first. there's a coating on the hair that's likely irritating your scalp, and soaking it in acv removes it. I do that, rinse, and then style and my scalp isn't irritated anymore
I really really enjoyed watching your box braid tutorial! I already know how to do box braids but I like how you were creative with yours! Thanks for sharing this!
First of all your natural hair is beautiful! Secondly I tried to watch 5 other videos and yours was the only one I watched in its entirety! Thanks Kenzy yours was very helpful!
Thank you this is the video I needed to do my own hair. I use to braid my daughters hair all the time. I know I can do this!!! I looked at the prices and I can buy a designer purse for those prices.
Thank you gawwjus! 😘 Maaaan, I'd be lying if I said that parting the back of my head wasn't a struuuuggle! 😩 I couldn't imagine having to part my hair without that second mirror though - Now THAT would be the real struggle lol
I just did jumbo box braids a week ago and now I’m ready to take them out and do these! Lol Good thing I do them myself so I’m not paying for the switch up. Thanks for the inspo! Love your braids!!
Guuuuuuuurrrrrl look at that hair baaaybee!!!! Is literally what I said when you pulled that bonnet off. New subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ I def will give this a try since I just removed my locs and lost some inches. Thank you! 😘
Beautiful look, ❤️❤️😍😍I want to try it for sure but I will say that I prefer the messy look rather than parting the hair so perfectly. I love the braids you did an amazing job.
I love this hair style. When I was younger my mom would braid my hair, I loved it, but I was teased about it and told that I was trying to be someone I wasn't. After that I barely did my hair in braids. I've always wanted to try the box braids, but I have so much to learn about them still, and have so many questions about how to take care of them.
Thank you so much. I'm sure I'm old enough to be your mom, but you have taught me somethin'. I've always thought I needed to go pay someone to braid my hair like you've done. Now, I think I can tackle it myself. Nice!!! Especially since I'm into work outs. Having to pay someone else to do my hair, and then keeping up my weekly workouts, not worth it.
Just found this video and my God it's like looking into my daughter's future, she looks A LOT like you. You both have the same hair texture so I will definitely be doing these braids on her for school. Thanks girl!
I love love love it! I'm gonna do it. I'm pregnant and due in December. I think this is perfect for not having to fix my hair after labour. I'll look tired but my hair will still look cute lol. Thank you 😊
I don’t know why I keep watching these when I’m white with wavy/curly hair 😂 I guess I just wish I could do something like this with my hair since you all look so good ☺️
Manu Ginobili doesn’t matter if her hair is made for it. i’ve had braids before and i’m half puerto rican/ black and half white. i have wavy hair. as long as she knows that it comes from BLACK CULTURE and doesn’t try to take credit for the hairstyle and KNOWS that it won’t “ protect “ her hair , then i really don’t see a problem with it. she can do whatever the fuck she wants with her hair.
Wow your A supper Talented Young Women. I just ran into you & l couldn't stop watching how amazingly easy you made that look! Soo Janet Jackson Girl.. 👋Heyy ❤🇦🇺

Save yo' coins sis - I got you! 😏
What other protective styles would you guys like to see?
Kenzey Cooper I think you would slay faux locs
Kenzey Cooper I would like to see goddess braids. I think they are beautiful.
I watched this and decided to do my braids myself so I bought hair yesterday and I got 3 packs of hair should I have gotten more
Alannah Rae I think it depends on the density of your hair. Depends on how many strands of hair you have. But she had a jumbo pack. It also depends on how many braids you have to make on your head.
CoCoPopx thanks
When you pulled off the bonnet I was like WOW. Length goals!
Her hair is so thick too
Jaywah righhtt

Good girl 👍👍👍👍👍
Make sure you’re charging to do hair I guarantee you those cramps will go away when you get that money in your hand 😂
Alani Ortiz I'm 13 and trying to learn so no one will be braiding my hair tight
Girl, I get you. I literally did a friend's hair this past Sunday.
The first time I did box braids on myself was a total FAIL!! But I kept at it and now I'm doing them for other people too!!
Giiirl, same! I did them on myself two times before I finally got the hang of it 😩
Practice really does make perfect!
I'm so happy to hear that you didn't give up - So proud of you, love! 💖
Kenzey Cooper omg thank you!!! You're amazing!!!

when you finish the braids and you see your results that's the best feeling. You did a great job btw
E
The grinch hairy finger tips🤣🤣🤣too much but it's so true I can't see ends like like that
i’m going to be completely honest. i have seen a lot of tutorials on doing your own braids, & yours is by far the best! they look sooo nice & pretty! 😍😍😍😍
Oh wow, YOU'RE SO SWEET! That really means so much to me - Thank you, love ❤️
Kenzey Cooper omg you’re sooo welcome! you definitely know what you’re doing & this seriously inspired me to actually try this style out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This came out so good. I bet when I try it, it’ll look nothing like yours
I'm with u on that suss
In your spare time practice on a piece of hair on the back, you'll get it , practice makes perfect. You got this.
Try the rubber band method it helps a lot
hair shops are closed and even tho it’s quarantine i gotta look good for the zoom conferences
I did the jumbo box braids it came out awesome and I am 12yrars old I am in 6grade
Yasss Proud of you
Good job!! I learned how to braid by watching my aunt. But I was a natural at your age
good job for you startin young!!
this comment hurt my feelings cause im 12 y/o in 8th😩😩. im so younggg
You did a great job! I been braiding my own hair since 14 every summer. I could never pay $200.00 for box braids.
Whenever I try to do my own braids the hardest part is blending my real hair with braiding hair because of the fact that my hair is so thick. And the ends of the braiding hair only look good for like a day
Katherine Arias try twisting or braiding your own hair first. That way it's already tight and together then keep it behind the hair while braiding and it'll blend perfectly.
Try putting edge control of beewax on it so it can slick back.♡
Dip the ends in boiling/hot water to make them sleek and hold up.
Omg best tutorial ever! Your braids look better than anyone I’ve seen on TH-cam and I love how you actually show how you part it! By the way your beautiful also!
this is by far the best tutorial i've seen. i wanted to learn how to braid during quarintine and this tutorial SAVED me and i gave my sister box braids !

Best box braid tutorial hands down
I definitely loved the stretched hair technique, it looks so much more easier then feathering the hair.
Those twist by they self looked so cute and the good thing about it is that it’s versatile
I wanted to thank you for this video. I have been wanting to do braids on my 16yr olds hair and didn’t even know where to start. My daughter has long beautiful curly hair like you do. I tried doing these braids on my daughters hair and they came out beautifully. Sooo thanks again! 😊
I feel inspired 🤗
I'm so happy to hear that I could help inspire you, beautiful ❤️
Lol love how she compared the ends of her braids to the Grinch. Those braids are beautiful and so is she. 💚
You are literally the ONLY hairstylist i have watched that have let followers, aspiring hair artists KNOW what to use product-wise to keep hair intact!!! 😍😍😍
Like a PRO! It literally looks like someone did it for you! Your right, it is super intimidating to braid your own hair, but after watching this, I'm definitely going to give it a try!
I was looking for someone to braid my hair but I’m going to try and do it myself
Save your coins & try doing it yourself, love! You'll be surprised at how easy it really is 😊💕
You are seriously such a beautiful person, nothing but good vibes and great hair styles, thanks for the braiding tips!!
The way you stretch your hair is much better! Thanks for showing that I’m definitely doing it that way.
Honestly, it's the only way I know how to stretch hair 🙈 I'm glad you found it helpful, love 💕
dangerouslyloved16 I buy pre stretched hair. It’s everything!
Thanks to your tutorial, my first set of box braids was a big success! I've been receiving numerous of compliments as well as people wanting me to do theirs lol. But, thank you so much & God bless!❤️
AFTER WATCHING 6 VIDEOS PRIOR TO YOURS, I FINAALLLYYY FOUND SOMEONE WHO EXPLAINED IT TO THE POINT WITH HAIR PORTIONS, EASY APPLYING ETC. AND DID WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE !!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! AND YOUR HAIR IS THE SAME TEXTURE AS MY DAUGHTERS SO THIS WAS PERFECTO!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤♥♥♥♥♥❤❤❤❤
Wow this is one of the clearest and best tutorial on box braids I have seen. Thanks I will have great confidence when I try this.
It's a blessing to know how to do your own hair. Beautiful ❤️😍
Thank you for sharing this! I've been struggling to find a protective style for my daughter's hair & she's been dieing to color her hair, but I don't want her to damage it with bleach.

I just did box braids on myself for the first time and it took me allllll day but they turned out pretty decent.
Did you head feel heavy? Was it tight when you moved your hair or anything? I’ve had braids before but they were really heavy and my scalp didn’t like it at all. These look so light and the way it’s attached to your hair doesn’t look to tight or anything.

If your scalp feels itchy, soak them in Apple cider vinegar first. there's a coating on the hair that's likely irritating your scalp, and soaking it in acv removes it. I do that, rinse, and then style and my scalp isn't irritated anymore
I really really enjoyed watching your box braid tutorial! I already know how to do box braids but I like how you were creative with yours! Thanks for sharing this!
this is literally the best hair braiding tutorial. I can finally do box braids!
First of all your natural hair is beautiful! Secondly I tried to watch 5 other videos and yours was the only one I watched in its entirety! Thanks Kenzy yours was very helpful!

😍😍 Okayyyy Kenzey! Parting is def hard for me too. 😂 The Grinch reference
Thank you gawwjus! 😘
Maaaan, I'd be lying if I said that parting the back of my head wasn't a struuuuggle! 😩 I couldn't imagine having to part my hair without that second mirror though - Now THAT would be the real struggle lol
Kenzey Cooper you're welcomeeee! 😘 Lol you got through it tho 👏
Ah hey

Finally found someone with hair somewhere close to my length! Can’t wait for my hair to come so I can follow your method!
Love this!! In my experience this method has been waaaay easier than any twist method!
Wow! And I thought getting up in the morning and doing my make up was hard.
Beautiful hair!!!
Sooo cute. Your real hair is EVERYTHING COMING OUT THEM TWIST SIS! Go awf

Guuuuuuuurrrrrl look at that hair baaaybee!!!! Is literally what I said when you pulled that bonnet off. New subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ I def will give this a try since I just removed my locs and lost some inches. Thank you! 😘
Thanks so much for this video! I went to get mine done, but when it needs a touch-up I'm definitely gonna try to do it myself
Beautiful look, ❤️❤️😍😍I want to try it for sure but I will say that I prefer the messy look rather than parting the hair so perfectly. I love the braids you did an amazing job.

You and your hair are breath-taking🤩🤩

Now, I think I can tackle it myself. Nice!!! Especially since I'm into work outs. Having to pay someone else to do my hair, and then keeping up my weekly workouts, not worth it.
Your natural hair is gorgeous!

Girl race dont matter
Manu Ginobili doesn’t matter if her hair is made for it. i’ve had braids before and i’m half puerto rican/ black and half white. i have wavy hair. as long as she knows that it comes from BLACK CULTURE and doesn’t try to take credit for the hairstyle and KNOWS that it won’t “ protect “ her hair , then i really don’t see a problem with it. she can do whatever the fuck she wants with her hair.
ItsDanielle go for it!!! Race doesn’t matter!
