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🤷🏽♀️😙
This was really helpful 😻😻

Love you
usually when i braid i talk on the phone or listen to music it’s the best way for me to focus :)
thank you ❤️
noo . lets talk about how pretty she is like um whattt
just taecia thank u 🥺
@@LoveLanna you are very pretty fr fr 😍
Righttt
😍😍😍
Right!!! She’s just adorable
I’m fine with the actual braiding but I find it so hard to part my own hair 😭
Moony frrrrrrr! I be amazing at braiding but damn. Parting 💀💀
YES OMG THIS IS MY PROBLEM. I did good on my first time braiding my hair but I struggled with parting my own hair😭
Your not alone! It is a pure struggle!!😫
The back of my head was looking fucked up
Taylor Davis my shit was too😭
I may start on mine tonight. I'm tired of looking raggaly😂. I look like somebody's ex girlfriend that gave up on herself😂
LMAO 🤣🤣😅 chile I'm in the same boat 😭
LMFAOOO I felt this comment in my soullll
GIRL- 😭😭😭 i feel you though
LMAO SAME GIRL
sameeee i bouta start rightttt now bc i look so dumb rn
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 🤎
did the braids slip at all or fall out while you were wearing them?
@@brookalynn not at all! It lasted me a long time and they still looked fresh even after a couple of weeks! Just make sure you’re wearing a scarf AND a bonnet not only to bed but all around the house. It lasts, I promise.
@@favormulalira2551 that’s so great to hear. i’ve already bought the hair lol. this is my first time having braids so i’m pretty excited. thanks for the reply back !
@@brookalynn ofc! Good luck
Thank you so much for the feedback 😊. If you ever see this, I'd just like to know if using the rubber bands cut your hair. I'm scared to do that because I feel it'll cut my hair. Thank you.
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!!
23 and my first time too!
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❤🥺
Hey my advice is to get black friends💚 you’ll get closer to your culture if you hang with people similar as you. I wish you well💗
@@k8seyy645 I have many black friends, all coming from different places.
I hear a lot of mixed race kids with poc fathers and white moms have that issue. I'm glad you're out of that situation though, and I hope it wasn't too rough for you as a child :D
Vibranium activate Boo! I grew up around majority black folks and chile I still have to go yo TH-cam University to learn about my hurr lol! Yes this tutorial gave me hope indeed!
@@BrocksJellyFilledDoughnuts same I hear this all the time and it is very sad!
GIRL WHEN I TELL U IM LIKE 22 & been trying to learn how to braid but it never clicked until now!!! Just know u helped change at least one persons life lol
girl you are GORGEOUS. i did knotless braids like a month ago but i want to do another color so ive been searching for a good tutorial
thank you so much!!! i still need to try knotless braids i think they’ll probably be one of the next things i do lol
@@LoveLanna if my hair is dark brown and kinda light brown what color of extensions do I use
tutorial must've worked cause ur shit looks bomb in ur pfp 😂💕 i luuuuv the split look
@@LoveLannahow long was the braiding hair you used in this video?
These are the clearest instructions I’ve seen!
So nobody is gonna talk about how beautiful her natural hair is?! Goals!
Heyyy, I just wanted to ask if it’s culturally appropriate for me to braid my hair like this because I’m white and I don’t want to offend anyone. I am also educating myself on this topic so I just wanted to ask☀️🤎
@@anetapavlikova3481 no it’s cultural appreciation
@@anetapavlikova3481 no it isn’t okay. Also if you do your hair will be ruined. And black people will clown you
@@Nobody-kq2hv I dont really understand. how is it cultural appropriation if you respect and pay credits to the origin of the hairstyle and dont clownify it? i mean everybody can do whatever they want on their body and hair, as long as they don't falsely adopt or try to take credit for something that's not theirs... I'm brown, Indian, and i have wavy hair and I love how people slay these braids. I want to learn more about it, and I also want to braid my hair like this. is that cultural appropriation?
@@helen6717 because for year non black people called out hair unprofessional and other terrible thing just for you guys to steal out hairstyle from us and also it’s not made for straight and wavy hair
I’m not even kidding, this video saved my life. I was on the floor crying cause I couldn’t plait extensions onto my hair with the other video tutorials I watched. I watched so many videos trying to do it but couldn’t get it, ended up just cramping my fingers really. This video was kind of a last desperate attempt, and I thought I would fail when I tried to do it like you explained, but I did it! It was so easy and produced the best results I could’ve hoped for. THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏🏾❤️❤️
yay I’m so glad you were able to do It! you’re welcome ❤️
I truly loved how you didn’t use any edge control or gel on your roots ! Looks great!
She’s so pretty and her skin is so gorgeous
watched this last night and today i did braids for the first time and was successful thank you so much
You give me hope... Lol I'll start too
@@nolwazibuthelezi481 i did mine today
It was successful
I've just recently decided that I want to try box braids on myself soon. And your vid really helped me to do them! Also your hair looks really good !
Connor Overstreet im glad i could help! and thank you so much!
Yes! Finally a method that doesn't make me want to cry! I'm combing out my locs and I wanted to do this when I was done. Love this, and I'm definitely subscribing
Luv ur pfp slayyyy
omg this was the best tutorial i swear
thank u!
Omg you saved me today. I've been stressing all day trying to do these braids and every other video I watched had some crazy method that I just was NOT getting. Thank you so much for making it so simple!
Same. I cannot do the looping method with the extension hair before you braid it into your hair. I have tried several times and just get frustrated so I learned to do it just like she does. I have heard doing it this way the hair can twist and pull your hair out but I have been braiding my hair this way for years and have never had that issue with mine or my daughter's hair.
@@Journeyback2waistlength Ugh yeah that damn looping method. Maybe for girls who don't have my clumsy hands 😭
People who braid their hair are SO TALENTED! My arms get tired just brushing mine but yall have created techniques to create beautiful hair styles. Massive respect, great video!
This literally help me do my own braids when I thought I was never going to be able to and it helped me do it without the rubber bands too. Thank you🥺🥰
Hi do you put any gel on your hair before you braid?
@@alessiap5420 yes ofc
just because of you i’m going to do my own box braids 😌
Alrighty- I’m gonna try this 😂 hope I don’t waste any hair
thts my main issueee
@@kamaiawool9808 exactly I wanna try it but I’m really bad at installing wigs and weave so-
How did it turn out? Did your braids slip out after time. I have tried this technique before but they slipped out. I am unsure if it was me (it was my first time) or the technique. But I do want to try this technique again
@@itsangieocasio1073 Two of mine slipped out when I was in the car 🤦♀️
@@itsangieocasio1073 ffbggygyhhhhhhhjjjhh
This needs more views and likes cause damnnnn🙁❤️
omggg thank you ❤️
I think this is the first video where I actually understand how to grip thank youuuuuu
yay im glad you’re welcomeeee
6:03 your brother is me @2am overthinking my deicsions
omg 😂😂😂
Decisions
this actually looks so easy
idk lol it really is especially with practice
Ok little sis out here blessing the culture and keeping the coins in de-pockets! #ProtectHer 🥰❤️❤️
i’m going to the beauty supply tomorrow with my sister so i can attempt to do my braids by myself for the first time. watching this video (this is like my 5th time watching) i can honestly say that i think i’m prepared for this so thank you. (i will probably watch it again as i start brading)
hope you did well!
hope you liked them!
First off this was soooo helpfullllll, and secondly I’m a huge jazz fan so I’ve been listening to Louis Armstrong a lot! Specifically “La Vie En Rose”. 🦋
im glad it was helpful! and ouuu nice taste i like to listen to jazz too i want to get into listening to it more
Yess jazz is soooo slept on I recommend this Swedish Jazz duo Koop, their music is sooooo calming 💗
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 💯
Exactly. I’m 14 and my mom would pay so much money for me to get my hair braided. That’s why I’m learning for myself so she doesn’t have to spend that much money.
Men, who’s here learning to braid their girls hair lol
That is so CUTE
awe, i want a man like this
if my man isn’t like this i don’t want it
Stoppp that’s so wholesome
She’s lucky
You killed it!! Loving how there are no feed-in steps, I have tried box braids three times and had them slip down randomly, I am going to try this method for sure this time. Thank you for sharing!
Does this method stop the slipping??
You make it look so easy wtf- lolol. This helpeddd thanks sis
Girl I'm from Mexico and I'm addicted to braids, but they are an expense that hell I've been looking for tutorials for a long time and besides that you explain it perfectly I adore you
Greetings beautiful, what a flow always!!!
♥
You did all those by YOURSELF?! I am astonished 😳😳😳 I really envy your patience
Literally life saver I wanted to do my own hair without my mum helping 😂 I was super confused thank you so much!!
Ah yes, this looks so easy, the other ones I've seen are so complicated, they split it in 3 or 4 and it's so confusing. Thank you 🤗
Yeah I’m wondering what the difference is because these are much less complicated and look great.
finally someone with LONG HAIR, I can relate to. Thank you, Queen!!
I am going to attempt your method this week! Thank you for posting this. You did a great job and I hope your channel continues to grow!
I know how to braid but I've never braided my own hair before. I wanna try it so this was really helpful
how did it go ? im doing my own braids this week for the first time on my own
@@chidori9249 Never again! It took me 2 whole days and my arms were hurting. I think i did a decent job though, but it was totally not worth it.
Love it! Super simple, instructions clear! I already have the hair package so I was just looking for a tutorial of this and mannnn you nailed it!
I attempted this method for the first time today and I am super impressed. This method is easy and simple- I’ll be finishing my head tomorrow.
How many bundles did you use? I don’t feel safe going into a salon rn and wanna do it at home
Cass Curl she used 6 packs of hair and made 10 braids for each pack
Bundles ?? 💀🤣
@@BriannaMoore. yeah...thats what people call them.
@@kaylasemmer9239 oh, I just call it braiding hair
same lol i only say bundles for weave
Okay so like I’m doing my own braids for the first time & you really just helped w the patience part . I know how to do it just too scared I’ll get frustrated and quit and it’ll look a mess but thank you girl for the motivation ❤️
you’re well hope it went well!
I’ve been searching for so long and I came up on your video so glad I found it
U dont understand how much u helped.me.i was in the middle of a mental break down dealing with my hair is a struggle I hear y'all black girls I do 👏
It gets real when you’re trying to get that style right I feel u
I love your method and it came out beautiful. I cannot do the looping method that other tutorials demonstrate so I have always done my box braids how you do yours. You look beautiful Queen 👑. And your brother is so adorable. My heart just smiled when he showed up on camera. Gotta love and protect our black kings and queens. 🖤✊🏿
My mum is braiding my hair tomorrow and I was looking for videos to explain properly and i found her ur gorgeous btw xxx
This is so beautiful. Thanks for the video. I’m actually doing braiding my hair now. I Got stuck a little bit and thankfully I found this video. Thanks ❤️
VIEWING LOVE LANNA'S BEGINNERS TUTORIAL ENABLED ME TO SUCCESSFULLY START & COMPLETE MY DAUGHTER'S MEDIUM SIZED BACK LENGTH BRAIDS!!! EVERYONE THINKS THEY'RE PROFESSIONALLY DONE. THANK YOU LOVE LANNA!
you’re welcome so glad I could help!!!
I have went through 18 videos and yours is the only one I understanded thx soooo much🙏
I braided my hair with this video and it came out so good, thank you!!
GIRL YOU ARE SO PRETTY !! and this made me feel like I could do ANYTHING I want to do.
thank you and yay im glad!!
Girlsssss if u struggle, start front to back. If your arms get too tired you can tie the hair back and hide the unbraided hair underneath. Helped me a ton.
my daughter learned from your video and shes soo happy thank you
Thank you if I didn’t click on this video I don’t think I would’ve knew how to do box braids!! Thank you💜💜💜💜
👏🏽👏🏽 you did these braids my girl! Thanks
thank you!
Podcasts and box braiding. Way to go!
Super easy and straightforward, best method ever. Thanks you 😊
Whenever it comes to the part where my natural hair is running out and I need to borrow hair from one of the sides it always comes out a mess and it didn’t come out straight. Any suggestions plsss??
At that part brush your natural hair and add jam, gel or product and try to get it precise if It still does that
Rosemyna Rosemy okayy I’ll try that thank youu
@@davina4027 np
I want to do this so bad, but i dont know if im going to do a good job, the part that worries me the most is the parting of the hair
Frr, I think box braids are gorgeous and I rlly wanna get them but I can't part my hair for shit lmao
I’ve been trying to do my braids for an hour now and it just wasn’t working. This method actually works and it’s tight in my head. Thank you so much you’re a lifesaver !!!
Everyone always says parting is the hardest part and at least I know im not the only one struggling😭 thank you! You help so many young black people🙏🏾 doing wonders!
Okayyy girl. You gave me confidence to try on my own... Im about to try this on myself. Commentary on point. And i like how simple this video is .. "patience" lol
Your so pretty! I deleted my original comment as a white girl I didn’t understand the culture, roots and what these braids mean. I think these braided hair styles are stunning. I would love to braid my hair like this I don’t know if I will as I don’t want to overstep boundaries in anyway. I have been educating myself on the history and will continue to educate myself further. I’m sorry to anyone who saw my original comment as was offended. 💛 this videos amazing and I’ve rewatched it a lot of times xx
just braid your real hair because if your hair is to thin then it could make your hair fall out or damage it !!!
The one thing that helped me when I first started doing my own box braids is I did yarn braids first.
Let me explain....
Yarn braids is like training wheels for box braids. First off it's really cheap. 1 bundle of yarn is like $2-4 dollars. Also it's easy to separate and even easier when figuring out the braid size. If you want micros use 2 strands...if you want medium used 4-6 strands and for jumbo use 8-12 strands. If you mess up you are not out any money because it will normally take 1-2 bundles to do your hair. I myself practice first with a few strands. I practice my grip and different parting techniques and finally I attempt to do my entire head. It came out ok but I knew I could do better. What finally help and made it easier is I started treating the yarn like braiding hair. I watched a bunch a videos and came up with methods to make the yarn look more natural. Finally after getting good results I switch over to regular braiding hair. After switching I discovered I'm sensitive to synthetic hair. It causes me to break out. I switched back to yarn which is another benefit...it doesn't break you out. I love my yarn braids. Especially after 2 weeks. They look more natural as they age...they mimic locs.
ok no joke this was literally like the most helpful and entertaining video I've seen.
Omg . I'm soo happy to find a new youtuber ❤️❤️❤️ . Lots of love from Turkey . I think you are going to be a big channel 😍😍😍
thank you!!
This is one of the clearest guides I’ve seen yet and you give really good tips too! 👏🏽👏🏽
By far the BEST tutorial I’ve seen. I tried after watching this video and my braids came out perfect!!! Thank you!
yay im glad they did thank you!
Thank you !! Your the first person who actually successfully taught me how to do braids 😂😂
Your hair looks great!
Thank you!
That was amazing, seriously you are a pro. I very much liked the tip for the sections.. looks very helpful. I will try to do it myself without extensions first so I don't waste hair lol 😅
Great video love how you explained what you was doing through the process makes it so much easier im new at braiding with extenisions hair and this made it so much easier to do thank you!!!!!!
I never understood box braiding before, but now finally get it...thank you sooo much for making it simple for beginners :)
you look beautiful
Nice video quality I hope I can do my braids like this sometime!! My braids always be going wrong🤦♀️
thanks!! and lol if you keep doing them they’ll turn out how u want eventually
@@LoveLanna thx
favorite album: love yourself: tear by BTS
Same

yesterday i braided my hair (without fake hair in it) for the very first time and I'm so excited to braid them again with fake hair when my exams are over. your tutorial is so helpful
Finally , quick and easy and too the point . Ppl do too much this was great !
You are adorable, beautiful, funny, talented and a great teacher! Thanks so much, Queen. And please tell James I say hello! 👋🏽 😂
i love this💜...i’m about to do mines soon....thanks for showing us how to braid😇
I have been helping my sis and auntie with their hair without been able to do mine but today after seeing this video i made it myself and am ready to rock it to work tomorrow. thanks so much 😍😍😍
You got me more motivated to do my own hair and I’m like 13 and I’m really good at braiding and I have school today so I’m braiding my hair after school 🥺❤️
i’m not here to braid my own self but like.. i just wanna learn for fun lolz
I’ve been trying to find a vid like this omg this helps me so much !
I can't believe I'm only seeing this video now, you explained and did it better than most videos I've seen. Thank you so much
I still come back to this video ❤ thank you for this
Does she do people hair? I need my hair done 😂😂😂💕
This just have me courage to go ahead and do my braids. 😁 Your tutorial was super straight forward. I do love you did the rubber band method. I think that will definitely help me when I do my braids. Thank you good sis! ❤️
How did they turn out?
Omg I’m so happy I found your channel I watched so many videos and during quarantine most of the shops are closed thank you so much❤️and like they said you are really pretty🥺
Nylah Ann yay i’m glad you’re happy & thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
your so beautiful! I only know how to do the 2 braid look. I struggle so much with parting my hair! love the look you. inspired me going to buy myself some hair and try
I need help why is it so hard to braid
I’d like the video twice if I could for that wonderful taste in music
Can’t wait to see how a Latina and German girl with box braids look + bangs😍
Beatuful. Love love your method. Been searching TH-cam all nite trying to encourage myself to try the feed in method knowing how stressed I'd be but this morning I clicked your video 🙏. I can't use rubber bands tho so i'm going to part and then partially braid each section. It should still give the same effect as the rubber bands. Also, love your bond with your brother 💜. Never lose that, Always stay close!!
Went to a hair place and only had one left of my hair color and the other stuff was over $100 :(
I’m 11 and I wanna try to do box braids how long do they last in people’s hair
to be honest, it depends on how well you take care of them. if you maintain them and wear a scarf overnight, they should last at least month or maybe even longer 💕 good luck :))
lmao i’m 12 nd ima start cuz all my friends learing
Oh my God I'm doing this for the first time and I nailed it. Thank you so much. 😭😭❤️❤️❤️ You really know how to explain.
I’m glad I came back across your channel I watched this a few years ago and I do the exact same method so I will be doing my hair next week if my cousin don’t do it. I got this.
