she talm bout “they not professional”.. they look so good
Girl I was thinking the same thing.
I wouldn’t be able to tell honestly. They look professionally done. ❤️
Very professional!
Right! She did a great job!
They look better than mines
i’m 15 and my mom has been doing my braids for years, i want to learn this year so she doesn’t have to handle it! i’m so glad youtube is a thing
yess same !
Gotta luv TH-cam
Same! I'm 12, and ive always wanted to learn how to do my own hair for a while now. I would always practice braiding hair like box braids and cornrolls, but it is lowkey so hard to do it on myself😅. Thank God for youtube!
same !
Sameee
Dude, the braids looked like they were done proffessionally... u did amazing...
Don’t call a black woman a dude f.o.o.l!! She’s a Queen!! So address her better then that!!
One Love ummm what? they didn’t mean any harm by calling her that, she even liked the comment.. race doesn’t matter in this situation, some people just say dude a lot (i do lmao) (no hate btw but it’s not that big of a deal haha)
@@poop-ze3fb dudeeeee 😂💕
@@KamoreeLove ?
I agree! The look sis good.
So sad when you have to put disclaimers for not being perfect!! People need to stop expecting perfection from TH-camrs y’all are human too smh
Wheewwww the opinions are exhausting.
Im learning watching because my daughter is mixed and need to learn
T B my sentiments exactly , ya nails ain’t done, then ya nails ain’t done 🤷🏽♀️ shouldn’t have to apologize for that
I get why she did though people can be so judge mental
Ms T You will learn! (My daughter is not mixed her father and I are black) I just learned how to box braid my 10 year olds hair in box braids a few months ago because as she got older the styles got more expensive at the salon. I watched several videos and finally bought some pre-stretched braiding hair. I had to make it work for me, but I braided her hair for the 3rd time a few days ago and she said this was my best try. Every time it gets easier and easier.
No, I don’t like them. I love them! Great job!!

You should consider being an instructor! Your video was clear enough for beginners (like myself) so I did a whole head of box braids last night for the first time, thanks to your instruction😍🤗 keep it up sis
Very clear
Yes I agree, it’s very clear. Definitely going to try.
This video is a prime example of “we are our biggest critics” bc GIRL you definitely did a great job they look beautiful 😍😍
Agreed babe. Thank you so much ✨🤍
I have thick hair...It’s so hard and unfortunately I wasn’t taught to do my own hair. 😔
It's ok sis I'm in the same boat😔 but I'm going to try this🤞🏾
That was me but I’ve been watching videos like this for a while and now I can confidently do my own hair , just keep practicing boo
Sis same 😔😞
Same here, I don't even know how to do basic natural hairstyles
Me too,I Feel u on that one!😿
also! if you don’t want to cut the pieces of your hair that are sticking out, but some braid jewelry and cover it up. it’s what i do personally (i’m done putting scissors to my head lmao). love the video girl! definitely gonna be doing my own braids during this quarantine 💛
U just saved my life with that information. Thank u🤗
CeCe Cierra np!!
edge wax is also a great alternative:)
Omg that's what I do lml, thought I was the only one
Well my whole head will be full of jewelry 😂
Hearing stories from friends about sitting for 8hrs in the stylist’s chair, I always thought you had to be an absolute genius magician to do black hair well. I’m not a hair stylist, but I’m on a journey for personal reasons to learn how to style all textures, thicknesses, and lengths of hair, and box braids is the last leg of my journey. Thanks to this beauty queen, I’m feeling confident I can do these on someone.
You don't know how refreshing your comment was for me. To see people taking time to go above and beyond in their interests to know how to be well rounded. Love it! Hope the last leg of your journey was a success!
Thank you ❤️
How did it go learning box braids ?
My arms be burning after attempting to braid my hair 😭
Right
Ikr
Right it take me hours to part my hair in the back and then have to turn around and braid and be braiding the 2nd day after I part cause my arms cannot take it
Mines too! My man said I gotta do push ups. I wanted to punch him! lol.
How did it go?
“They not professional” Shii she can do my hair anytime. 😭 😂 💕
Love this video! They look great! I’m literally in the middle of braiding my hair myself so you taught me something new about the gripping technique! Thank you! Just a tip for you to avoid your hair sticking out. As you are braiding down, once you are maybe a few inches before where your hair would normally start to stick out, apply your gel, wax whatever you used at your roots, braid down a little, add some more gel, braid down some more, and keep adding it until you are past where your hair ends. I promise you your hair will not stick out anymore!!!
Caramel Sweets u go girl!!! I just did the same video!
Hi boo! Thanks for the suggestion! I was doing that, just not on camera. My ends are really blunt from my bob so it’s a little harder to tuck them 😔
Jenise Davis you’re came out good!! Supporting your channel! Do the same if u like! Keep it up! ♥️♥️
Jenise Davis yeah I understand, blunt hair can have a mind of its own lol especially if your hair is thick! My hair isn’t as thick as yours so that’s probably why it works on me. Either way they still came out great ❤️
What fell would you recommend for this cause every time I use gel it comes out white
She explained this so perfectly i now feel confident about doing my own diy box braids
sameee !!
Same
So I’ve braided my hair for the first time ever. Took a week and there’s a section in the middle that I never bothered to finish (I be tired after working 🤣). I plan to keep trying. That’s the only way I’ll get better. You did an amazing job. They really look professionally done.
How do you feel about braiding now?
This is weird but 🤣 you have such a cute nose
Sexc Rav agree she does
😘 It's not weird sis. You're just paying another beautiful sis a compliment ❤.
No. It's not weird. I thought the same thing
I tap on this video because she reminds me of my daughter from the side with that cute nose
lol i thought the same
You did just as good as a professional. I just got some done 10 days ago. I love them. Quarantine braids 😍😍
Christina facts she know how to braid hair good 🥰
No facts why'd she say so much negative stuff about it in the beginning
Did my hair using your technique and it came out so bomb! Thank you!
i've been hesitant on braiding my own hair but this is the easiest tutorial i've seen by far ! thank you for sharing i'm definitely going to do mine now
Ouf these are some of the most neat braids I’ve seen a “beginner” do
Girl these braids are perfect and I love them on you this by far is the easiest tutorial I’m gonna try mine tonight thanks
I'm starting mine in a few , wish me luck
Tyiana douglas how did they go?
I wanna do this to my hair but I ain’t got the patience 🤣
Nisha Banks Same here! 😩
I just suck at it. 😩 and I want them so bad.
I do mines so fast I sometimes forget when i started
Damn your profile picture look like dearra when she was a little younger😂😍 . ( from dearra and ken)
@@damadoms4676 sameee
i’m 14 and i’m tryna learn how to do like box braids (because i know how to cornrow and do stuff like that 😭) but this was sooo helpful, thank youu😂💕
girl my arms hurt watching this but you still did that💅🏼
They really did come out perfect. Every time to start braiding my hair I INSTANTLY regret it lol. I have sooooooo much hair. Great job beauty 🥰
See, here you go making me think I can try this on my head and it’ll come out like this 🤦🏾♀️😂. These are gorgeous! I ain’t got nothing but time so I might as well practice. 😊
sammeee!! I know how to do it but it just comes our loose JGIOFSAHGULIA
@@jalissa987 dum dum hobi
@@jalissa987 does it come out loose because you don’t do it tight enough ? Or is it the technique overall
Ok you did amazing.These braids look incredible. I would never expect perfection when it comes to parting.
You should be so proud of your work.
Girl this made me fall in love with box braids again. I been trying to get on the knotless wave but these !!! 😍🖤
The braids came out super cute 😍it’s okay girl the parts doesn’t have to be perfect because it’s hard to see the back of your head sometimes I always struggled with that .❤️❤️❤️ Overall you did dat !!🥰
What did you use to dip them in?
@@aprilenglish6723 hot water
Literally stretching my hair to start braiding tomorrow! I may go back to the 3 strand method but I use my hair as the 3rd and feed in another strand. These look very neat and nice!
You are by far the best person who explained how to braid in the hair! Thank you!
Girl you did a fantastic job to say this is beginner friendly girl I love it
Wow!!! I’ve done these on myself using the rubber band method and the bands always showed and I didn’t know how to hide them. I’ve watch many of videos to try to do them without them and nobody explained them like you did nor showed how to start the braids the way you do. I appreciate this bc Im feeling confident enough to try them on myself again!! Thanks girlie!
🙌🏽
THIRD TIME ???😳😳😳😳😳GIRL THESE ARE AMAZING
So, I’ve been learning to braid for the past 4-5 years because my daughter has obnoxiously thick, long, and curly hair (literally past her butt) and also for myself. I’ve watched so many videos on “DIY box braids” and yours is literally the only one that helped me to understand how to hold the sectioned hair, and grip the root. ❤️❤️
I have looked at several people do braid's! you are the first person to do it and I 🗣GOT IT that third braid did it for me 💃🏽 thank you so much 🙏🏽 .
This is my third day watching this video I kept watching to get the technique and today I tried a practice braid and the braid came out so good thank you💕
Girl bless your heart. How you part your own hair this well is beneath me. I suck. My parts be looking crazy
You did a great job... explaining as well...don't give up and keep doing you (your own braids) no matter what anyone says...because as a "braiding specialist" by heart...it's alot of time and patience!!
Beginner Braids Tutorial Who?! These braids are bomb! 🔥🔥🔥
Ugh I swear every time I try to do box braids I end up looking like the mf from Lord of the Rings (you know who I’m talkin ab 🙄).
I don't no if I do , but girl 😄 u cold.
Funny. Mines looked funny af in the beginning. After 7 months and 13 videos later, almost close to perfect. Keep practicing
@TheOfficialSlimReaper I do 😭😭💀 that's my movie . She slayed them braids . I be struggling too I still ain't got past how to set my mirrors up 🤷
Wait are you talking about Sméagol 😂😹 brah am on the floor 💀😂😂😂
Lol
you are so pretty and I can't believe you parted your own hair this well 😍
First I would love to say that you really took your time to demonstrate. Many other videos block on how the technique is used . Great job to share on how it is really done and well!
Yours is the first video that made me understand how to start my box Braids thank you so much for making it. I’ve been trying to do it for years.
First of all you're beautiful! Your hair looks amazing! You actually inspired me to do mine thank you so much! This technique worked well for me too! I actually ran out of hair but im gonna finish it tomorrow. I'm so glad I came across this video!
Oh yeah, definitely not a professional... CANT TELL!!! Lol amazing job! ❤
These braids look gorgeous on you and they actually look professionally done.
frr
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been working remotely since March and I've gone to the braiding salon 3 times since then paying $160 each time to sit home and look "expensive cute" when I'm not really going anywhere. I love this video and I thank you so much it. Your braids look perfect to me!!! I love them. Thanks again!!!
Girl how do you part the back of your head that’s the struggle I try to look in two mirrors
The straight parts alone are amazing to me.
Lol
Righhhhhh
These look so good and neat!! When I do mine I normally use the rubber band method, except for the front row. It’s more simple that way for me. Great job 👍🏽
I’ve watched so many tutorials and could never do box braids well… it all finally clicked when I watched this video! Needless to say… I’m loving my $20 box braids 🤩
so glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! This is the first video (out of dozens!) that I’ve finally understood how to attach the braiding hair. I’m a white mama with three black daughters that have natural hair. I’m so excited to finally do diy box braids! Yours look amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this gem. Quarantine got me out here wanting to do all types of diy
You did a great job looks really nice. I could never do that my arms would fall off. Beautiful girl no make up. Blessing
Even though I already know how to box braid my own hair, I still watch this video just to get me pumped b4 i start lol. She's so dag gone talented ❤
You did a kickass job on parting you own hair. Anybody who say anything different is a, "ENEMY OF PROGRESS". I have seen this method a thousand times but, something about the way you put it down (i.e. explained it) just clicked. Thank you Sister. 🥰🤩Don't doubt yourself with you own words, remember they teach us to do that!!!👀 YOU GOT THAT MAGIC! keep it coming!
That's how I braid mine too. Either that I wrap then1 piece around, use my own hair was the 3rd leg then take hair from the other legs. But that's only if I'm doing like rubberband braids but yah. I plan to start mine tomorro! And u did a good job. They look good
love this method! I'm literally about to go wash my hair so i can try this lol thanks girl!
I avoided quarantine nails by ordering my own drill to remove my gel polish. It was so easy. I'm gonna try this braid method.
I have been on several platforms and have watched tons of videos trying to learn this three strand method and I finally got it, this is absolutely the easiest, THANK YOU, perfect braids!
Thank you, now I’m even more excited to do my hair this weekend!
I am going to try this. Bout time I learnt how to braid my own hair especially where I live the nearest decent place is miles and miles away. Hopefully i find some patience buy the time the hair&products gets delivered. Wish me luck 😕
A 💡 just went off for me when you showed the 3 strand method. Finally 🤗
You’re the most detailed & easiest to understand you tuber when it comes to hairstyling. I can only do knotless but this just explained so much I’ll be trying tomorrow
Girl! You did good! I am horrible in adding braiding hair. That's why I don't do it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
WoW love them. I have never wore them, just a few times when I was little. Now I'm 24 and suddenly really wanna do them since I'm really good at braiding and doing stuff to my hair with my hands and I'm also really patient. I'm a mixed kid, AfroLatina-Asian and spanish (from Spain) so I don't really know if it's okay for me to wear them since it's beautiful honorable culture behind. In my Heart It feels right so I'll buy hair to box braid mine. Thanks for this video it's super helpful💛
hey! you have black in you, there’s no problem wearing them! hopefully your hair is strong enough to hold them but i’m assuming they are. don’t worry
Girl, you said "afro latina" that's enough said!! It doesn't matter where you're from!! Like you said, if it feels right in your spirit that's all that matters!! Do your braids girl and give homage to your Anscestors!!✔💯😍
Love how she gets straight to the point
Your braids look better then the shop that cause their braids professional‼️ Looks pro👍🏽
Yes ma’am! Those braids came out bomb to say it’s your first time doing them 😍✨
Girl, you just making me to start what i can't finish. Stopppp iiitttt🙈🙈🙈. Am about to look like a masquerade. You are damm good .
This is the first method that has allowed me to be successful in bracing my hair! Thank you!
“It took me longer than the average person” LOL I sit for like 6 hours where like 2-3 people on my head I think two days are fine LOVE IT, cant wait for my hair to be here and for my arms to fall off! They look wonderful
girllll !!!!!! you're sectioning look are freakin perfect... mine were all over the place and uneven as hell...
You just helped me do my first braid😭!! I’m about to do my whole head
My mother is professional beautician but I don't have the gift she does. However, watching this video reminded of all the times I would watch my mom braid her clients hair. You made it look simple and your braids are very well done. I'm going to give it a try this Memorial Day weekend and pray they come out half as good as yours.
i’ve never seen this technique but it’s genius. i usually separate my natural hair in 2 parts & use the braid hair for the third strand but this makes so much more sense & flows seamlessly. thank you so much for this video
This a good method 🤔 I never thought of that 3 loop thing
I usually go to the professionals to get my hair done but I’ll be doing my own braids for the first time this week. Thank you for this tutorial as it was really helpful. They turned out really well 💕
how did yours turn out ?
EVERY hairstyle you do turns put BOMB!! It always lays so nice!
Sis feeling herself at the end. Mad respect. Im 17 and JUST learning to do these. this helped so much thank youuu
You did a excellent job! My braids always slip down when I try looking like I got new growth, smh.
Not me being here because school's opening back up and nobody doing braids atm 😫
sameee😭 .
Yes me too😭
same 😂
me atm i’m finna sneak and do mine so my mama finna wake up suprised😭😭
Sis I’ve been doing hair all my life and have had sooo many people in my head and I’ve yet to come across someone that makes their braids look this good and natural. Idgaf what everyone else says, I love them 🥺🤍😍
You did it perfect!!! Congratulations 👏👏👏. There are professionnals that can't do such
This came out gorgeous on you. You did a great job 😍 trying this out this week
Definitely going to try this tomorrow.
I did one braid! You session was by far the easiest and clearest I've come across. Thank you.
I want to try box braids on myself. This video is very helpful. Also your braids are wonderful you did a great job. Thank you!
U made it look so simple!they turned out great btw💜💜💜
You did a great job! This has definitely inspired me to try them on my own! Thank you!💗
Beautiful, this is the first video I've seen that actually makes me feel like I can do this myself so I'll be trying the next week.
Peeople who do their own hair are gifted. I cant part or braid my hair and ive been trying since a child. It is a gift. My mom has this talent. I just didnt get it 😂❤
Thank you babe! I’ll never do it again 😂
You did a great job girl. They look better then alot of people who go to the '' Professionals''. They look beautiful. I never wore box braids, but if I could get them to look as good as yours, I would definitely wear them. I wish you could do mine!💸💸
The braids look neat and all , but I can’t do this by myself I wish tho because I can barely part my hair . 😹🤦🏾♀️
I'm a college student and I dont have the money to pay a stylist an arm and a leg to do my hair. I gotta teach myself and I'm so glad TH-cam exists lmfao. I'm nervous but hopefully I can do it as great as you did thank you 🥺🥰
I finally can do box braids on my own hair!!! Thank you so much Jenise 💕
Wow, your parting looks perfect to me! Any time I part my hair I looks like Whoopi in The Color Purple 😭😭
Tell me why I double tapped the screen as if this was Tik tok 👁👄👁
I've watched multiple videos about this and the way you explained things were actually understandable
This is the first video I’ve seen where it actually makes sense. You explained it very well!!! Can’t wait to try this!!!
