- Hey babies, get in here! We're braiding our hair ourselves today! Have you ever done box braids on yourself before? If not, you're gonna wanna watch this video!
In this video, I show you how to braid your own hair using the rubberband method. My natural TWA is very short, so I struggled initially trying to grip it. But in this video, I walk you through how to successfully grip the hair, how to style your braids and how to maintain them. I also share 9 TIPS that I wish someone had shared with me before I tried to braid my own hair. I hope you enjoy the video!

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. I finally subscribed and I’m super excited for my hair journey.
@loveglam I saw you said not to section off big sections in the back....... I have a very small head and I'm trying braids but my hair is very thin in the back so I'm tempted to section off big sections but I don't want them to come out too tight or loose.....is there a specific reason not to section off big sections?? I'm trying to make sure I don't do anything wrong since now I'm progressing to the back of my head ☺️
@@sexitreatz hey love! Great question. I had said not to section out the back really big because my hair is very thick and short at the back. So the big sections didn’t blend well with the braiding hair until I started sectioning the smaller sections. So if your hair is thinner and longer, you can get away with bigger sections at the back. But if it’s thin and short, then a medium section will suffice so it doesn’t get loose. Hope that helps. Happy braiding☺️
@@TeacherJasB thanks so much for subscribing and welcome to the fam🤎
@@RalOnyes thank you so much I'm really nervous because my back is really short and my grip game is terrible LOL
She's beautiful with n without the hair and make up...u go girl 👸🏿
Thank you so much sweetie ❤️
I wish I would've seen this last week when i tried to braid my hair. I literally cried in frustration. I think I'm gonna try this. Thank you!
Girl I know those ones!!! But definitely not too late to try again. Can't wait for.you to slay it this time around😍 You got this!!
I never write comments like this but literally your voice and personality made me subscribe so quickly! So warm and genuine girl! Now after 3 days of procrastinating-onto braiding this head🤢
Aww you just made my day! You're sweet! Thank you and welcome to the family love xo! Hope you succeeded with braiding your hair ??
Never thought to soak the rubber bands in oil! Definitely going to try this!
You just save me some money! Canceled my appointment at the hair salon. Totally doing this.
Actually the synthetic hair has a chemical and it causes an allergic reaction in a lot of people... So that's why it is good to rinse first. I buy a brand that is pre stretched, pre detangled and pre rinsed I love it and it is super cheap
What’s the brand?
Definitely an option to consider for sure ! Thanks for sharing !!
Drop the brand sis
So you not gonna drop the magic brand name?
@@RalOnyes not a problem
Great job, looks like you had them professionally installed. Thanks for sharing.
There are sooo many videos about braiding short hair. I really lucked out by clicking on your video first. Your tips and tricks make a lot of sense, and I finally know how to use a crochet hook correctly based on up your instructions. I'm looking forward to utilizing what I learned from this video! Much appreciated ❤
That was so smart to oil the rubber bands, I never thought of that
LOVED THIS! great job girl. Im deff gonna try your parting method. I do the rubber band method as well. I found that doing all of the rubber-bands first and then sectioning the hair in 4 quarters makes the process so much faster.
Thank you beautiful!! And I'll definitely try sectioning the hair into 4 quarters next time cuz I found that doing the rubberband row by row was better for me and didn't overwhelm me.
Do they last long and how many times do you rap the rubber band around so I don't get tension bumps !? I attempted large box braids a long time ago but wanna do small this weekend and thinking of using this method!!
Yessssss ma’am!!! I can’t wait to broad my hair! You’ve given me that boost of confidence!!! Here for it💕 you look so beautiful!!!!
My sister, you have a lot of patients, and a great way to save your money 💵. I need to try this but even after watching your blog, I still have a hard time believing I can do it. But by me not wanting to pay someone else to do it, it's worth it. Thanks for the info. 💯💥
GIRL!! Stop this! YOU GOT THIS!! You can do it !! Just mentally prepare yourself to dedicate a day to it and you'll be a-okay!! I hope you end up trying it out and saving some money, especially during quarantine!! And you're most welcome love❤️
Thank you! 💯💥
I'm feeling you!💯💗✌🏿💵💥✅
Owww sweetie, the patience and work you have put in, I admire you so much!!!!!! I am disabled and have very sparse and thin hair and I have to wear wigs or caps or hats all the time and I know that many people don't like braids on everyone, I just have learned over the years that pre-braided twisted braids are fir me the best solution in summer as I can put it up and leave it up for longer periods and sleep with it up, I also work a long time on the parting of my own hair and I have not even a wave, but really very sleek hair, though it holds elastic, the braids are premade so I can just hook it and loop it, pull and it's in, I must say, I was blown away watching you doing this, I have subscribed right away as I think you are so beautiful, also before the braids and makeup, you are so nice and awesome, I can't get over how great you made this look, fantastic!!!!!!!!
Her hair is so full! I love it🤗
Thank you soo much!!
I appreciate you showing so much of your techniques on the back of your head. In most videos you don't get to see the process in the back. Great job!
Thank you so much love! I really wanted to show it cuz I felt the same way too watching other ppl’s videos. Glad you enjoyed that 😊
This was the best short hair vid!! Although I am a braider I have so much trouble braiding my own hair, esp when it’s short. Your demo was visually pleasing🙏🏾
Absolutely stunning I just finished my hair.. it took 14 hous🥰...but it looks so beautiful..thank you so much for being so transparent. Love your channel 😘
You are so welcome girlie 🤎🤎 Glad your braids turned out amazing !!
You just saved me some money! Just cancel my appointment at the hair salon. Totally doing this at home.
Love it !! Hope your braids turned out great ?
Girl I just took my rubber band method braids out. And I 1, did my rubber bands too tight and 2. I REALLY wish I had soaked the hair before doing it. Girrrrrl I wore them 2.5 weeks and they had to go. But I’m giving my hair a week off to relax my scalp and I’m putting them back in because now I know better!
Yay this makes me happy to hear love ! Hope the second time around was a charm😍 And yup usually a rubberband wrap around 5-6 times is all you need depending on the thickness of your parted hair.
So glad you explained about the itching because one time I thought I had a break out.
Sis I had to cuz I thought I was going crazy too!!!!
This ha got to be the most helpful video to doing braids. I hella needed this. I can't afford no 300 bucks to get no damn box braids. Thank you so much
Lol girl u said it. I'm studying now.
Thanks so much for the wonderful video! This quarantine life is showing us how much we can do for ourselves if we choose to..I luv 💗 your hair and make-up help. Sending you and yours Blessings Always. Jay from NJ...😇
You're soo sweet thank you! And for real ! This quarantine really challenged us all !!
I used que braiding hair the 1st time I did rubber band method and girl it was itchy so bad I put a Bobby pin in the middle. The 2nd time I did my hair i did the ac wash and it my forehead itchy because of the sweat. And the pre stretching was a mess, with 3 kids running through it and dropping it off the chair. Lol the 3rd time girl I dropped all that mess and got pre stretched hair ani itch.. a game changer for real... your hair do look nice
Sis the struggle is sooo real!!! But I'm sooo happy to hear you figured out what worked best for you!! Pre-stretched hair is MOST DEF the way to go!!
She killed the transition love her❤️😊😊❤️
Omfg this video was so helpful! I’m about to braid my hair! I just ordered the hair last night I’m so excited! I will DEFINITELY be using all of these tips and suggestions! I’m so glad I came across this! Not to mention, you are absolutely beautiful! ❤️
Aww this makes me real happy to hear! I hope the hair turned out great?
It did! Thanks to your help! ☺️
So I tried box braids for the first time using your tips and... success! Thanks for this video
Yay!!!! So glad to hear it was a success! Go on and rock it girlie😍
You did an awesome job. I enjoyed your tutorial. I will be trying the rubber band method, but I will be using the pre-looped, pre- braided micros.
This looks bombbb!! Subscribed 😍😍 - I just finished braiding my mini 1.5 inch fro and it took me 2 days 🤣. Next time I'm going to part smaller and copy the u part parting you did, because I love the finish 👏🏾👏🏾
Love this I braided my own hair with the rubber band method but the band was annoying me I ended up just braiding it without. But that ACV trick am going to try because that dry and itchy ness is real. So excited your back making video 😁
Omg the rubberband annoyed you? I found it to be soo easy for me! At first, I thought that I would feel it afterwards but I legit don't feel anything at all and my braids are secured. I absolutely loved it! But braiding without it works too! I just knew I had to use it cuz my hair was pretty short. And yeah definitely try the ACV! It'll change your life because sis that itch will drive anyone crazy!! I'm happy to be back to it too! Thanks love ❤️
Im going to try to braid my hair myself lost my hair in oct after loosing a baby just getting enough to grab.. think I am going to try for the summer look. Send them good vibes..
Love this!!! Was trying to figure out how to do my own box braids and then there were easy listening you!!! Most my worries are over. Thank you so much!
I’m working from home braiding my hair right now !
Ok I'm glad I found this video. I've braided my own hair when it was long but now my hair is short and I was wondering how I was going to do it. I going to try this. Your hair come out beautiful 😍
Sis...you have beautiful eyes and your natural beauty compliments the style.
You're so sweet! Thank you so much love💕
Girl you did a really great job!! I’m planning on trying this method on my hair!! Yours are awesome! Thanks for sharing with us

God Bless everyone Jesus is coming back sooner than we think you can turn to God Before it's to late you have free will

Can you make a video on how to soak the hair in apple cider vinegar?
You’re amazing! Thank you for the tips. You’re so informative amiga 🥺♥️
I heard them say Xpressions were dipping their braids in something.
Apple Cider Vinegar is used for deep cleaning like when they use it to rinse dreadlocks so I guess It's cleans off the coat of whatever it is.
I had that burning itch on my scalp last year and had to removed my braids until I learned other people were experiencing the same thing.
I plan on braiding my own hair this week... thanks for the tutorial.
You are so welcome love. Goodluck and you got this! ❤️
They look good sis!!
Thank you, this video is extremely helpful
I loved this video/ tutorial and I did my hair because of your inspiration thank you so much
Soo glad to hear that ! You're welcome love xo!
Great video you're very look beautiful how do you stop brauds from pulling your hair out every time I break my hair it pulls my hair even though I try not to break it tight?
Loved this video. Very helpful and informative. Thank you.
This looks great sis! 😍👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you SIs!! ❤️
Thank you soooo much! You are such a lovely, informative, and inspirational sista! I am going to ATTEMPT to braid my own hair tomorrow.
Aww you're soo welcome!! And yassss sis you got this!! How did it turn out?
Loveglam I did pretty good I opted for larger braids because I didn’t have a lot of time and my hair length could hold it, but I did it with much prayer 🙏🏽 and your tutorial! Saved me a lot of money! Thanks for the video and I passed this tutorial to two of my cousins! I appreciate you so much and I’m a new subscriber as well! Pleeease keep churning out positivity! Love and Blessings!

Aww thanks love😊
She favors the singer Ledisi
very beautiful your hair is banging. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the purpose of the crochet piece i will watch again. I love your energy.
Yes she is beautiful and so is her hair. I was trying to figure out the purpose of crocheting the piece in between the rubber band.
It came out so good!
Thank you boo!
Your hair is beautiful
Great tutorial.
Good afternoon, can you tell me do you take appts. I am looking for someone artistic like you. Awesome hair styles.
Great Job .. very clear explanation 🙂
Thank you so much !
Whewww I wish I had the patience lol..nice job 👏
Haha! Patience is definitely the key! Thank you🙂
This is so detailed! I'm going to try it out and post a vid on my channel
Thank you so much! I hope it turned out well for you?
Beautiful you did an awesome job
Didn’t think to oil the rubber bands, I just oiled my scalp, hopefully the oil will get to the bands
Yeah oiling the bands help with it not drying out your hair nor scalp as well as not breaking on you while your braids are in.
Thanks for the tips .. love your hair ..
Great tips!!! Thank you. 💕
Buying pre stretched is a life saver😭
You ain’t gotta tell me again! Lol ! That’s what I do now
Whooo this method just saved my head cuz it was ruffffff last night chileee 🤣
Your braids are beautiful! What length did you get?
Your voice is so lovely!
This is my hair length ❗❗❗❗ this is exactly what I needed
Your hair looks beautiful! What’s the purpose of crocheting the braid into the rubber band instead of braiding around the rubber band? Hope that makes sense.
I know I’m mad late responding to this🙈 But it’s to help anchor the braid so it doesn’t slip out especially if your hair is short like mine. Because if you just braid around without having a longer “hair piece aka the crochet piece in the rubber band” to hold onto, it’ll slip and that’s how you’ll end up with your braids falling out. Hope this helps. And thanks girlie🤎
Your so amazing 😻, thank you.
There’s honestly no talent then braining your own hair ! ❤️#bgm
This video was such a blessing omg!
Aww so happy to hear this ! Thank you so much 💕
Wouldn’t the oil weaken the rubber bands?
Good job girl!!
Thank you beautiful❤️
Thank you 🙏🏾 you’re a life saver
You’re so welcome !! Glad I could help🤎
You did great!😍
Thanks girl ! So glad you enjoyed the video !🤎
Beautiful!
Thank you hun 💕
