My cousin does this... Im not a fan of it. I see that it does help people but It's basically like greasing your scalp with Gel. It's uncomfortable to me and I would think it's unhealthy too 💔
@@twittytv8654 it's not unhealthy if you have a gel or jam with natural, water soluble products. I do the same thing and I have regular clients who all have healthy hair growth. You can't do it with "regular" gel...or it gets flaky and ugly before it's even old.
The timing will always depend on the following: clients head sz hair thickness braid length and braid thickness and braid closeness the closer the braids and parts the more braids to do.please consider all of the above when pricing your braids.
I pre separate my hair and hang it on a huge cardboard with hooks like beauty can braid. It saves so much time. Also tame the ends too ahead of braiding time. Got some hooks from dollar tree.
Chuchiee Chinita use the EZ braid prepulled prestretched braiding hair. It's good quality hair just like the Xpressions hair. It's also a lot cheaper. Get you a thread holder from Walmart and put a base on it (I can ship you one if you'd like). Prepare all of your pieces of hair for your braids before. Go ahead and part the rows in the clients hair before starting to braid. I promise you it'll cut some time. Also do the roots first then Go back and braid the ends while you're waiting for water to boil etc.
Very pretty and very neat. Nicely done. I'm trying to get pointers, as I just started box braiding my daughter's hair. I'm getting better at them. Well executed video! Thank you
Can you make another video showing the actual size amount of hair you use for each braid and the way you started your braids from the roots. The camera didn't show that, your hands were in the way and when you put the expression hair together it was hard seeing how you held them together with one hand. Please just show that in a 15 to 20 minute video. You're wouldn't need to video your client's whole head...just maybe 2 or 3 braids. Thank you Jess, I love your finished look.
These braids are large, makes since why it would take 3 hours. When I do my own hair this size takes me 5 hours with staright parting. I love the expressions hair for the same reasons. You get more for your money!. I also part the hair in 3 sections to start. The back takes the longest time to do, makes me manage my time better. They look super neat and pretty
When parting the hair use shine jam in the yellow bottle it has conditioner in it it’ll give it more of a clean part or use the braiding jam for parting too. ❤️ other than that your braids are perfectly fine! ❤️
Your video makes so much sense to me.. this is one of the best videos I have watched in three days to learn how to box braid and you made it so simple as everyone says it is... Thanks for your tutorial I’m going to practice some more just how I saw in your video.. will put update up later for you to see if any questions please dnt hesitate to let me know what I did good and wrong I will take all feed back to get better and become better at braiding thanks again for the video and thanks for teaching it the proper way👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️💪🏽🤞🏽
It's not the size of the braid that causes damage it's how the hair is pulled & gripped so if ur stylist is pulling against the shaft of ur hair that will make it break off.....as well as different hair stands die off everyday so shedding is inevitable
College Woman23 ... Hell I'm dancing to the beat, 😂 but it takes me around 7 hours for small & long ones. Maybe less. & I been braiding since I was 8... I'm 30 now.
The last time I asked for box braids the lady gave me the most average basic short small braids I have ever seen, it was the exact opposite of box braids...I was so salty, but those r cute
First of all this my first time watching you, and i would like to say thank you so much for one giving me a reference on how big i want me hair. Second thank you for not screaming. A lot of ppl be yelling at the camera, like we all sum lil old ppl who can't hear that good. 😂😂
They look gorgeousss, I kept tryna catch how you catch the hair to start braiding but you’re like a magician 😂😂 hunny you did make magic on them braids tho OKAAy😘✨✨
I'm not understanding what exact method your using that helps you do a clients head in 3 hrs. I do the exact same things your doing, and it takes forever......!!!!
1mamachunk i part everybody hair the same way unless they state other wise. I usually part down the middle then start on the back I do 3 rows based on person head size each row will have about 4 to 7 braids so last row I normally do 4 and I also do the window method this helps a lot to know how many braid you will do in the next row. When I get to the front I start on the sides each side will have 2 rows first row by the ear 3-4 braids next row 4-6 braids the same on the other side then the middle I do them going back still using the window method I normally do about 4-5 parts in the middle each row contains about 3-4 braids.
I don't recommend this method either. I used to do huge parts and medium braids and would get complaints later on cause it's too spacy and not full enough
All the negative comments tho? I swear people are just miserable and pathetic ...you internet thuggin in comments on a box braid video 👩🏽💻 🤦🏽♀️ ... Good job on those box braids tho doll ❤️😘
I believe everyone is different on speed. Some are faster than others. To me as long as you know how to put the hair in the time is not an issue with me
Pointers...xpressions braiding hair is heavy heavy...using 5 pks still equates as 10 pks of hair...each pk is $5. You save money and your client's neck by just doing the 3 for $5...everyone has their thing.
Melvis Serwaa No maam it would not she shouldve parted it smaller or used some more jam on her edge and smoothed it to where she could be able to grip all of her hair. In about 2 or 3 days some of her hair will be out the braid making it look like she already had them in for a long ass time. I do hair I can post my pictures love.
Everyones talking bout "those arent medium" like okay but they still like 30-40 inches braided all the way to the end? I agree that she didnt show any special methods BUT that doesnt make it any less impressive
Where do I start..the parts or the amount of hair used for each braid some were bushy some had hair coming out..yeah way to big..end result with gel was nice..
Quick tip: when you part, go back over the part with gel to get cleaner, crisper part lines. ❤️

@kesha hudson exactly
kesha hudson Well said!
The braid itself is medium sized but the parts are large. Makes sense
I like your job
You did an amazing job. I did mine and there about this size as well. It's all up to your client and what they want! Great job again
cedw86 thank you so much ❤️
I can see how you can braid in 3 hours because those are some humongous braids.
Lil China I still do any of my box braids in 3 hour max small, medium, or large
symer 01 thats a fact these braids isn't that big.
AsecvzSERTGHBNQERTHNHGQEHASERTGBNQRHNRHNL😁
Its the parts that are huge not so much the braid
Like 11:31 thats almost the whole side! Thats too big.. Ijs
Big braids but very neat and stylish. Smaller braids are way more than 3 hrs. Thanks for sharing.
It takes me 8 hours to do box braids and that’s without taking any breaks! 😩
Chuchiee Chinita gotta keep practicing that what I had to do for a second I was doing deals just to get my speed up

Those braids are large /jumbo size. They dont appear to be medium at all
Nahhh those are definitely medium large braids are thicker than that
My medium box braids are this size too. They vary from braider to braider.
The braids are medium but the sections are massive
ADRIA TAYLOR If you think these braids are large, get some glasses and turn your screen light up higher! Because clearly they are not that big/thick
By the way congrat u did well
These braids are large, makes since why it would take 3 hours. When I do my own hair this size takes me 5 hours with staright parting.
I love the expressions hair for the same reasons. You get more for your money!.
I also part the hair in 3 sections to start. The back takes the longest time to do, makes me manage my time better.
They look super neat and pretty
Yes very pretty
What i find when doing individuals is that timing depends on spacing/sizing as well as thickness/fullness. Not Technique
Great instructions but keep the bass down in the background. I kept having to adjust the volume due to too much bass.
those are definitely poetics
When parting the hair use shine jam in the yellow bottle it has conditioner in it it’ll give it more of a clean part or use the braiding jam for parting too. ❤️ other than that your braids are perfectly fine! ❤️
Shine jam works
Pre part large areas and separate hair for that many parts. You will breeze right through any size braids. 🤞🏾
Her hair looks soooo pretty OMG! I’m just getting into braiding and I only hope I can be half as good. 👏🏾👏🏾

Which gel do you use
So talented! Looks beautiful!
The uneven look is called stretched...they also sell pre-stretched hair that will save more time. ☺
Great job. Thanks for taking the time out to show your wonderful talent... God bless keep the video's coming you are a easy teacher thanks again!!!!
Nice..

You dont have to Be edgeless afterwards.
Small braids can really cause damage.

Right I thought she would be showing a different technique lol I do this already..
Victoria McKenzie she parting them hella big !! That can’t be medium size as she said cause I’m a hair dresser
Gotta keep practice that’s the thing I kept practicing I was running deals just to keep doing them and I was timing myself
@@zahriajames9422 they really aren't that big..... It's like 1.5× the size of medium. I still can't do 3 hrs w/ this size parting lol.
She is parting much bigger sections.. The braids arent that big..
I honestly thought I was the only one who be taking hours and hours to braid, now I don’t feel so bad 😅 I’m glad to know it’s actually normal 😭
Yes also please feel free to watch my new video on Knotless Braids
Will do!
Great job!!!
Super cute 👌🏾 if you don’t mind me asking where did you get the string from?
Its Keys Tv at any beauty / hair store. Usually found in the front of the store or by the registers 💋.
Tyzianna Chandler thanks so much I’m gonna go find some for my girls ❣️
Its Keys Tv you’re welcome love ❤️💫
Super cute, love the size❤️
Great job..
I'm watching this shit like I'm finna try and do it myself 😂
Takes me 21/2 hours to do the large /jumbo like these and 31/2 to do the medium size it use to take me like 6/7 hrs 😆
CeeBee Show dang u serious?😂
Lol yes I was so slow at first now I do up to 5 heads in a day if I’m doing the large /jumbo.

You did a great JOB!
Great job

Good work. How many Braids did you Braid all together in 3 hours?
Getting pre streched hair saves time. I do mines in like 4 but it's my head
I like it perfect size braids neatly done👍
Juanita Tutt thank you 😊
I gotta practice putting those 3 strands together can't get my fingers right lol
How many packs of hair do i need
its nice but u forgot to mention it took only 3 hours because its bigger braids the bigger the braids the faster u finish
The bigger the parts*
My own was done medium size and my hair dresser took literally 4 hours to do it and I was shocked... plus they were done perfectly.
Jamaica
I don't recommend this method either. I used to do huge parts and medium braids and would get complaints later on cause it's too spacy and not full enough
You never really mentioned how you got it done in 3 hrs. But the finished look was nice
because its only 8 braids in the whole head lol

SexxyDiva Sexxy thank you 😊
How many inches are those packs of hair?
Between 84 and 86. If you cut it once, it'll be to your booty, twice maybe like mid back.
I though expression hair was 96inches ... when I cut it in half it’s right under my butt cuff ... I’m 5 1/2 ft tall
I've never seen that length. I'm in the Dallas area, we always get stuff later than everyone else. Lol the longest I've seen so far was 86 inches.
That first braid on the side is a NO
Trinity Harris and the second braid too
Yeah she shouldve used more jam or gripped her hair more so that all of her hair could be in the braid
yes it was dry on her edges and the braid was to loose like it was about to slip out
It was fine if she braids to near to the scalp she will have a headache later that’s to much tension that will cause definite breakage.
Melvis Serwaa No maam it would not she shouldve parted it smaller or used some more jam on her edge and smoothed it to where she could be able to grip all of her hair. In about 2 or 3 days some of her hair will be out the braid making it look like she already had them in for a long ass time. I do hair I can post my pictures love.
That’s not mediums
How many braids do she have altogether in her hair?
I’m sorry I did it so long ago I don’t remember
Beautiful good job
Leticia Brown thank you ❤️
I’m loving this technique definitely will be trying it
Everyones talking bout "those arent medium" like okay but they still like 30-40 inches braided all the way to the end? I agree that she didnt show any special methods BUT that doesnt make it any less impressive
maybe you should pre-stretch the hair instead of doing it for every single braid❤️
Are you in Philadelphia?
did you cut the pack in half?
Dayanah Isabell yes I did
Where do I start..the parts or the amount of hair used for each braid some were bushy some had hair coming out..yeah way to big..end result with gel was nice..
Devin Pinkney if this didn’t help you no need to comment thank you
They already have hair that is stretched out, so that it will cut your time down some also.
Just might do this because it always takes me 6 hours to do them and I’m fed up 😭
Deyaaa lol let me know how this work for you
