My first attempt to do box braids was a total fail, the braids were different sizes, parting was a mess. etc. But after watching this video, my second attempt came out 10 times better!! I'm not a pro but I saved $200!! Thank you mam!
me too lol my first time was horrible and im 13 but now my second try is better
+Nzinga Mair Every time you do you're hair, itll get better each time!
+Nzinga Mair You a girl what's yo insta im 13 too
MsFredericks my goal is to save $200 as well, I can only pray it comes out decent
MsFredericks OMG YOUR HAIR COLIR IS SO CUTE
Quarantine got me out here trying to do my own hair, after 4 weeks of just twists, Im happy this exists.

Same for me... did my own braids
My daughter asked for a complete set of braids. I’m not versed with this in the slightest. I thought I was going to have to spend like 200 dollars to get it done. This was so so helpful thank you.
So cute! Funny story when I was younger I thought black womens hair grew into braids. I was so confused to as why I had to braid my own hair but theirs was already braided.
jordan valdez - That’s the funniest comment I have read so far!!😂😂😂
My sons father who is white thought the Sam thing. When I met him I had braids further into the courtship. He was confused when he saw me without braids and then braids again after about three cycles of this he said he got up enough nerves to ask me about my hair. Ha ha he said he did not know what was going on. But he liked my natural hair best. He also washed my straightening comb too. Omg.
😂 😂 🤭... That's so cuteee😭
🙄
SAME 😂
I love that you deep conditioned and moisturized prior to braiding, That way the natural hair is more protected!
I just finished watching a braiding video of yours!
@@niasaraeeee aww thanks for watching!
I k l
Hey, since I would say you are more of a professional I would like to ask you a question. Do you think that braids, dreads etc are just for the African community? Or do you think it doesn't matter if the person male or female is African, Asian, European etc?
@@babyfire361 Box braids in this style and locs are more suitable for black people's hair because our hair is often more coarse and can handle the weight/tugging from the style. Our hair is usually dry, so we can keep the style for a longer time before it becomes oily. People of other races can get box braids, but they should learn about how to care for their braided hair, and also understand some history behind the styles. When you wear them, give credit to black people for creating them and call them their proper names. You may get some looks or some comments.
As a bald white male in Australia watching this, I have officially come to the conclusion that as a result of Covid-19 I am very bored
Rhys Lewis LMAOO
U make me laugh good on u
I love this
No lies 😂😂🤭
I feel you.
This is the best box braids tutorial! After watching this video, I tried braiding my hair for the first time and love the result. They're not perfect but I saved hundreds of dollars going to the salon and feel so empowered by doing my own hair! Thank you for the great tutorial!!
Can we just take a minute to appreciate that perfect make up? 😻
I have been using this method for the last 5 years, the best video ever.
I'm 11 and I did it all by my self
The Khyli Show your comment makes me feel like a mom😂 good work👌🏽
The Khyli Show that's so cool
The Khyli Show bravo! but you are black and in white people dosnt go
The Khyli Show Wow that's amazing!
The Khyli Show Also can you do my hair 😊
Hands down. The best hair stylist I've seen on TH-cam. I'm in awe. So informative 👏
I love how light it looks and not loaded with braids, very pretty.
I am sooooo glad that I found this video!! My daughter wanted box braids so badly. As you all know, it's expensive to go to a salon for this!! I just didn't have the money for this since we're on a tight budget. I did go to a salon and had a consult with them. The lady was bradding a little girl's hair. I was watching her as she was talking to us. I was like, I can learn to do this!! I learned how to corn row so there was no reason I couldn't learn to do this! So I searched for some videos to help me out. Your video was by far, the best!! Thank you so much. I'm saving all kinds of money and my daughter is happy.
I am so glad this video help you and your daughter! Thank you for sharing
Also, thanks for the tip on soaking the hair in ACV. I noticed that everytime I braid my hair, it starts itching within days
Yes she gave awesome tips
حلوو مراا❤️❤️❤️🌹🌚💜

Does it really works? And does it smells bad?
@@jillianekayeabarabar it does!! Been using this tip for myself and my clients since. You gotta wash it out with a fragrant soap afterwards though, until the smell is gone. Luckily, synthetic hair doesn’t hold onto the smell that easily
One of the best tutorials still in 2024
you can use any type of vinegar. white vinegar works fine. also soaking all the hair will not destroy the hair. been doing it for years
This tutorial is everything 😭 I actually got my practice braid right on the first try. You are so good at explaining. I’m looking forward to doing my whole head soon. It’ll take time but I’m up for the challenge.
Ain't nobody got time or money to be going to a salon and the lady who did my hair before, we don't really see no more so I'm trynna do this myself. I'm watching every video and I can and this technique and video has been the best tbh. I think imma buy the hair and use this technique to braid my hair. Wish me luck.
I can't wait to do it on my own hair. Saves me money and I can feel how tight I want it. And by the way love the color. I'm going to get some ombre hair. I'm gonna get black, noen green, and black, blue, light blue bundles.
I'm 12 and I really want to learn how to do my own box braids this video was really helpful thanks
I know for me I could never get the grip right so I did the rubber band method instead. Worked great.
i can do them for you, where do you live?
Samara Love I sincerely hope you were joking.
@Samara Love
i really hope you’re joking
Same
You're so pretty, definitely bookmarking that hair
Thank you for the tutorial! I started doing my own hair like 3yrs ago and it was the best decision I made myself. Thanks again
The end product, WOW!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Let me just say though, your natural hair is gorgeous too!😍
Thanks for sharing.
I don’t even have black hair I just watched this vid because the finished product looks gorgeous, she a whole queen. Also you gotta admire the skill. EDIT: yikes, I’m sorry for offending y’all, this is the way I intended my comment: I wasn’t trynna say that all African hair is the same, obviously, just like any other race, African hair is diverse with hair type. I said “Black hair” as in “African hair” not to invalidate the fact that there are many different hair types, but to give credit to black people. These are black hairstyles, not Asian, not white, not brown, BLACK hairstyles, I wasn’t trying to say that all black people have the same hair type, I was trying to say that these hairstyles belong to black people. Hope that cleared things up, sorry for my offensive comment !! Stay safe guys 🤎
Correction:
You don't have COARSE hair...black is a color not a hair type😊
As in African American hair lol. I didn’t mean color, I meant race. 😂 sorry it was confusing.
But if I were to talk about color, then yes I actually do have black hair lmao.
@@lite_za_reefa
No you're the confused one as you seem oblivious to my previous statement...i knew you were referring to race when u said "black" hair...and again THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR...HAIR IS HAIR...which is why i corrected you and said COARSE...hair doesn't go by race/nationality or any other ignorant thing you can think of.
I know what you meant to say, it's all good girl! You should try box braids, I love see other races with them😍
Ok why am I STILL not understanding how you wrapped the hair around your real hair! I want to understand it so i can slay like you girl
me too
Alana exactly I just posted my comment because i don’t understand how she twisted them at the start of the braid ☹️ 💖
you can also braid you real hair then add the hair to it for more easier braiding
@@tiannapeoples7352 that's knotless box braids
Agreed. She didn’t really break it down into discrete, clear, ABC steps. She sorta did it by feel doing several steps at once. She added the synthetic hair while also doing the real hair separation and started braiding all together as one step, which is great when you know what you’re doing already. But I dont think I will do this right from just from this video. Other videos broke it all the way downnnn. But hers was helpful cuz she said 12 hours and im out. Not gonna do this myself 😂
This turned out so beautifully!

Whelp you're the best hair lady I've ever seen
Eibhlin true
ness theman u
This is exactly what I'm hoping to do. I saw this hair a couple of years ago and knew I wanted to braid with this soon. I'm hoping to do this in about a month's time. Thank you for the tutorial. I'm going to try to do it myself but I may just have someone help me out.
wow we have the same name!!😃😃
I am so happy about that!!
Your tutorials are by far the best out there ! Especially your hair tutorials ! Thanks to you I can now do flat twists and cornrows ! Box braids are definitely next on my list :) keep them tutorials coming please !!!!
Your braids look gorgeous! Excellent video!!
I have watched numerous hair braiding tutorials and this is by far the best ! And perfect camera angles too!
I was about ready to quit doing my own hair. Now that I've seen your technique I'm confident to try it again.
Beautiful work! Could you please do another tutorial for beginners in slow motion?
This looks stunning. The braids, the color, the length, the model. All beautiful! I have always been such a huge fan of the box braid style!
I'm so late but this was amazing. I just discovered braiding by splitting my hair in half and weaving it in that way. I'm inspired to do another set after seeing this slanted parts.
OMG, I ACTUALLY DID IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, TOOK ME OVER 14 HRS TO DO IT, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. YOU ARE AMAZING
mylove1588 how long did your hair last?
i mean your braids
Your natural hair is so beautiful! You can tell it’s healthy and soft. Thank you for the tutorial!
It took 8 hours for me to do mine My fingers hurt.
Yass queen. You should feel proud
8 hours only??!!!!
Only 8h ? :o
Per section of hair, what takes the most time? Is it planting the hair extension to the root? Is it the act of physically braiding down?

Thank you for the close ups! It can be difficult to see how to start braiding in tutorials. You did a really great job! Thank you so much. I like that color too. They should call it purple smoke. ^^
This was my first time trying box braids. The method was so easy! I am getting many compliments.
That part at 4:42... no just no my brain can't handle that. I don't know WTH is going on. LOL I love the results though.
RIGHT! I was thinking of "attempting" to do it but I got lost there.
Put ur speed at 0.5 xxx
Feel ya
Aimeé Sanders Thanksss. Way better .
It looks like she actually has 1/2 of the extension hair (the one she has as a seperate leg) and then 2/4 (the parts she adds to her real hair)? That's the part I got confused at anyway! Because she says 3/4 and 1/4.
Wow! 2 years later and this video was very helpful for me!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Wouw. Just WOW. I cant even do a right pretty ponytail of something with straightnen iron and you do this magic all by yourself. Really talented , respect. PS. You are beautiful ❤
That instant replay is what I needed in my life! #OnRepeat
You are truly beautiful. The slay is real
I have been watching various tutorials today and I can honestly say this is the best and most detailed one I have come across. Thanks I will be trying this method later!
it takes 12 hours? your arms must have died. the final result is really awesome!
agnieszka van heirreweghe it depends how fast ur able to do it, my hairdresser does it in 4hours
Bevine Muntwari it's not the same when someone does for you then doing it yourself

it's a fuckin sacrifice. and a living example of "no pain no gain" and "Pretty, hurts".
Btw You're doing it so CLEAN! Love it!
thank you SOOOO much for sharing your technique. I am currently braiding my hair and I couldn't understand why my braids didn't looks as tight. So I tried this method and it looks a lot better! :) yaas and the hair colour in here is so beautiful. The slow mo also really helped!!!!
since she was using math words it reminded me that I got a math test tmr so I gotta study💀thanks💀💀💀
You are KILLING IT with the tutorials! Thank you. :-)
Thank you! I'm just give you all what y'all want! ☺️
We appreciate it for sure! I've been obsessed with invisible cornrows since your tutorial. Don't know why I never tried to learn the technique before... it is so easy!
Lord!! I didn't get that technique!! Beautiful though!!

Quick and easy, and not boring to watch at all thank u girl
Omg I live for that ombré color I need to do this 😂
omg , your natural hair is soo beautiful
I got box braids today and the lady showed me a catalogue of different box braids and she had a picture of you! Isn't that a amazing! I got the same braids as you and I like them
Watching this makes me feel like I can do it 🤣🤣🤣.. this is the best explanation I've seen... instant replay was awesome... if you can just out some slow mo, that would help me too.. lol... but seriously though... awesome job
I’m a hairstylist. My children are mixed and so I had to learn to do their hair. My daughters are 17 and 18 now and I’m still out here working on my skill set. Thank you for the tutorial and ACV tip!! I honestly never knew 🧐
I just want to say that you are a queen. PERIOD
"3 quadrants" that cracks me up. Like if you get it 😂😂
Ha ha... I get it! It's hard thinking of the right words when teaching something so confusing... 3 sections would of works as well! 😫😂😂😂
I literally pondered on that. Then after a while I paused to video and went to make sure I didn't mishear or miss another parted section of hair 😂

Your braids are absolutely gorgeous, I'm drooling!
Just came from ReacThing’s video and I wanted to say your speed with those braids are amazing! You look absolutely stunning!
YOUR NATURAL HAIR IS SO PRETTY
I got a tickle out you sayin’ “We all about keepin’ edges around here”! 😆😆
Gurl!! No one taught me about measuring the hair with my finger. God sent!
oh my god, they are really beautiful, you have a super special talent for this: 3
My daughter said "wow" and I thought she was saying that because I was showing her how perfectly you did the back of your hair by yourself and instead she says"her scalp looks so painful"
😩😩😩
Well assure your daughter that my scalp was completely fine! This is the perk of braiding your own head... You don't do it too tight.
+MariaAntoinetteTV I'll let her know 🤗🤗 also thanks on the great tutorial. I was able to braid my own hair and my daughters hair by watching you.
+MariaAntoinetteTV OK6
+MariaAntoinetteTV are you left handed?

Dying damages your hair
This video is the reason I started doing my own hair a while back. Funny to run into it again years later!
I've watched a thousand times and still don't understand the loop part 😶
OMG me eitheeer
Me too
I had 200 braids. If they are thinner, they look even better. Insta - life_of_alise
You will get it. Just practice...You will get the hang of it👌🏾👍🏾
Emira Frazier me too and I have next to me full bag of braids in different colours about 10-13 packs :( ☹️ I really want to be able 💖
Can you come over and do my hair? LOL! You look amazing!
Beautiful ombre 😍 nice tip👏👏👏
Loved this tutorial helped me so much to do my few box braids for my cosplay ❤❤❤ thank you
Girl you are so pretty ❤️ now I'm a pro at box braids after watching this
Your natural hair is so beautiful 😍😍😍 I love the color of those extensions too!!
Wow you do excellent work
Girl, OMGOODNESS, YOU ARE TOO DAMN GORGEOUS!! I love your whole look in that purple!! You don't NEED any weaves or anything, but I sooo get it that you do!!! So pretty. I've always been jealous of box and invisible braids you ladies wear so FUCKIN GOOD!!! LOL. ;)♡
My boyfriend is Jamaican and he’d like me to try this. It looks so complicated! Even with the instant reply I’m so confused 😂 it looks so beautiful.
Your stunning !!! And ur hair looks amazing 😍😍😍
I love OMBRE hair but the thing is it gets tangled A LOT!! Specially in the part with color! Any trick for that please???
BY THE WAY THIS VÍDEO HELP ME A LOT! AWESOME!
before you start braiding, take the hair and blow dry the whole pack towards the ends of the bundles, it silkens out the ends and makes them less tangly, you can also mist the ends with a little shine spray or oil sheen before you begin braiding. this helps the hair stay more smooth and tangle less.
I hope that helps!
THANK YOU!!! I'LL TRY IT!
jihaachus my pleasure! Glad to help!

I'm having such difficulty with the parting of the synthetic hair when it comes to adding my real hair!!! How do I do it. I don't know what hand is doing what and where it's going. I'm having such difficulty :'(!!!
