I got these braids for the first time last month and I’m in love with mine. To cleanse my scalp I simply spritz with ACV and water once a week. I only lay my edges with edge control when going out. Wear a bonnet to sleep and that’s it. When they get a bit more frizzy I’ll move over to using mousse and a scarf.
👏🏾👏🏾
Was thinking of using ACV! thank you
Hi! I have a question when you sleep with your bonnet do you tuck all the braids in it or leave some out because it's going to be my first time getting these braids tomorrow
@@mekafoster6477 I purchased an XL bonnet and tucked them all in to eliminate early unnecessary frizzing. Same for my shower cap.
@@LocdPrettyGyrl Thank you so much!!!
My braider really talked me out from getting these because of the early frizzing. But looking at this, I’m going to give it a shot ❤️
FRIZZ IS BEAUTIFUL Sis 😍!
Knotless is more work for braiders (not every braider can do them well). Maybe that’s why she talked you out of them?
I recently started using dry shampoo and it drastically changed how I care for my hair.Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome!
How do you wash out the dry shampoo
@@gloriaxx you don’t wash it
I'm wearing knotless braids for the first time! I'm only a week in and loving it I'll definitely try these tips when it's time to freshen up! Thank you, it's exactly what I was looking for.
So, so helpful! Thank you so much. Getting my first set of knotless box braids installed tomorrow. Excited! I appreciate you.
Love this, just got my first set of knotless last Saturday. The no pain versus the box braids are amazing! Thank you for these amazing tips!
I LOVE knotless box braids! This post may get lengthy. I normally don't do much to my hair aside from oiling my scalp during the first two weeks of having them installed. By the third week, I'm using witch hazel on a wash cloth to "clean" my scalp. A few days later I'll wash them with diluted shampoo and conditioner. Rinse throughly & apply mousse and wrap my scarf until dry. This helps me maintain my braids until I take them out at 10 or 12 weeks.
As someone who did my first EVER set of DIY knotless box braids on 12/30/21, I am both FLOORED and ENAMORED with the versatility of these braids! I have 12 braids and I just removed the wooden beads and knotted a piece of weaving thread around the base of my ponytail. I spun it around and tied a knot to create an ouchless scrunchie LOL to create a ponytail!!! SPECTACULAR to say the Least!!! Can't wait for the redo!!!
That is awesome!
Thank you so much for this video🙏 This is my first time wearing knotless braids and I have been absolutely clueless on how to freshen them up. This video is super helpful🙌
My first time in life get braids ☺️Trying something New. I’ve had them for about (3days) now and I love ❤️ them. Just researching how to maintain them 🤣😂 thanks for the Tip 🙌🏾
Really like these braids. Definitely, a style to consider during these hot summer days. 😍
Thanks hon!
Yessss
I get my first set this Saturday!!! You got me hype now!!! Gotta get the stuff you got for maintenance! It looks so good!
Thank you!
I just got my first Knotless today and I'm in love. Its my first time getting braids and when I tell you it was PAINLESS. Not to mention I have experienced zero head issues like my friends complain box braids give. they are super cute and I know that with the right care they can last me a while.
Wait! Dry shampoo?? omg, I need that in my life. Braids are my go to protective style and I have a hard time cleaning my scalp with braids on. This would be perfect for me.
Dry shampoo is a game changer!
I love braids and as a black woman, that's huge but I struggle because of how quickly they 'get tired of me'. Thank you for the secret, now I know better.
I feel you, and you’re welcome!
I love my knotless box braids my first time getting them and Yesssss they are not heavy or tight on the scalp!!!! You have to sit a long time and be patient getting them, but I will definitely not go back to regular box braids they really hurt!!!! I will pay the price to keep from hurting 🙂 Lol...
How long did yours last
I love my knotless box braids!! I use a Jamaican mango spray, mouse, oil and gel. For work, tie them down at night and wear a bonnet. Love them!
Thanks for sharing!!
do you use the oil and mousse every day?
@@julzn8702 I use mousse maybe every other night, then wrap my head. I use oil maybe 2-3 times a week on my scalp; I use oil sheen spray daily. I wear my braids pulled back when I go to work, so I like for them to be nice and laid flat on the top/front as much as possible.
So, I loved your video!! I just did this whole process today and love it!! My scalp feels great! Thanks so much!!!
You are so welcome!😀
I have medium knot less box braids in right now. They’ve only been in for two weeks and I think they look old. I’m excited to try the products and tips you shared in this video to refresh mine
how did it go?
@@LivingWithYensane sadly I took the braids down a day after watching this video 😩. That braiding hair irritated my scalp so I can’t even give you a testimonial.,
I’m going to get my hair braided for the first time ever 🤗
I just did this week myself and I love them!!
@@yogabynadiya3708 nice mines been in for a while now it’s so awesome innit
Amazing tutorial!
How would I manage the frizz, towards the ends of my natural cornrows?
This is my first time on your page but I love ur energy!!!
Welcome! And thank you so much!
Lovely vid, great tips! Short and to the point👏🏾
Thank you!
I currently have knotless braids and they are only 3 weeks old, but they are definitely giving 2 months. 😩 BTW I usually leave my braids in for 3 months. I'm pissed! Back to box braids I go.!
Mines barely a week 🤦♀️
@@Acceptance2023 Girl I will never get them again!!
@@af8071 Tou should give the DIY route a shot ladies!!! You will NOT regret It!!!
Thank s for the comment on dry shampoo. I use it to refresh my natural curls between gym sessions but so many black women tell me it’s bad for their hair. Works well for me and smells good!
It does the job !
This makes me want to get braids, and I love the 2tone color on you.
Thank you! Makes me miss my ombré hair
Hi Ijeoma! This was great, I will definitely do this the next time I get braids. I was surprised you did a hair video so thank you lol 😊
Haha I surprised myself too 😂
I did some knotless box braids about 5 days ago, and it looks like I had them in for 3 to 4 weeks. 😩 I wasn't educated on what braid gel to use. I used weak ass jam extra hold, and on the 5th day, my hair was fluffy at the roots. I tried Red One to retouch my braids, and it was ok, but I didn't have that perm shine that I was looking for . Smells, great like strawberry koolaid. It holds the edges down, but the hold only last for maybe 2hrs. 😔 I bought Murray's extreme hold, and it was ok, but it makes my hair look ashy, and my hair color is sandy brown. I finally gave in and bought Lock N gel for locks, waves, and braids. 🤞 This is my last resort. I hope this works because I'm not spending another dime on braid gels.
SO where does the gunk you take out with the dry shampoo go? or you just rub it further in and t drys off clean?? It ust looks more like multiple products being added to the hair.
that's what I was thinking. Dry shampoo is a no!! It's just more product build up in the long run.
You’re actually supposed to put it in then get a wet towel and wipe your scalp only and it’s supposed to come off (well that’s how I use it and it’s clean it)
Use a cotton pad
Agreed. Dry shampoo, clarifier, oil, mousse, gel. Personally for me ..would be too much product but to each their own.
Sis your braids are on point👍👍
Thank you!!
I’m about to get some knotless braids next week and I’m so excited to get them even more after watching this video! Also, where did you get your hair from? I love the color! 😍
The salon provided the hair!
Perfect. Thank you! Best video so far.
Glad you liked it!
I don't recommend large knotless or jumbo knotless on natural hair, it'll frizz up within a few days. Small knotless is the best way to go.
I LOVE my jumbo knotless! It's the GENTLE Kung Fu Grip for me Sis!!!
I have jumbo knotless ones in for 2wks no frizz yet 😃
@@YossieDee I have afro kinky hair and the jumbo knotless braids became frizzy quickly, so I guess it depends on your hair texture or hair type 🤷🏿♀️
Mee too, they’re light - weight unlike the regular braids
I never thought of using dry shampoo. I'll definitely be trying it
Great!
Hi, can you show a clearer pic of the carol's daughter treatment and the moisture oil ?
Thank you for your content!!! Very informative!!
Glad it was helpful!
I want some soooo bad I'm trying to find someone to do them!! Thx for your video want some bad right now!!!! So pretty and what You did to tame the frizz really worked!!
Thanks!
I’m going to try this! I am on my 3rd week but I wore these braids at the beach and in the rainforest so I washed about 4 times 😢. I would love to have them last at least a month.
You should!
How often do u do this? Luv the video and how it’s quick and easy!
I will get myself the dry shampoo 😉 thanks ☺️
You’re welcome!
WOW I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW I ALWAYS GET BRAIDS AND I LEARNED HOW TO STYLE THEM
Thanks for watching!
Love these...especially the color !
The color is the 2nd best part!
Ijeoma Kola Agreed!
This video was so resourceful and helpful! Thank you for this!🤍🤍🤍🤍
I'm so glad!
Water is everything! I don’t do hand sanitizer either, unless my hands are washed first and I happen to see it out somewhere (nurse) walk pass it and squeeze out playfully just because I didn’t have anything else to do at the moment. Dry shampoo isn’t even hoe 🛀🏿 level yet to me but it does cut the oil like powder does to makeup foundation after a few hours and as we all know, the make up is still there.
Love your video. I'm on the fence about knotless because my braided is only available 8 before my wedding. Would you recommend I chance it or just switch to regular braids
Love Knotless braids, only braids I get as of now
hey where did you get your braiding hair from and also what colors is it?
i want to do this to keep my braids fresh, but i’m afraid to put gel and not wash it out for weeks because it might do damage to my hair i’m not entirely sure if i should just put it because it’s only going on the braid or what should i do ? if you could please help
They get old quick but they look so good
Really beautifully look and amazing
Thanks!
A word of advice: look for fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.
How often do you do this?
Are your braids stiff at all when you first get them? Mine are so stiff there not flowy I feel like Edward scissors hand
No they aren't stiff. They always get dipped in hot water after
what type and color hair is that?
Thank you 😊
What color braids are you wearing ? :)
tks for sharing
Thanks for watching
I want to ask if I can use the dry shampoo and the moose on all my braids and not only on the top of my head . It is possible ? Please answer. 🥺
Yes!
Nobel peace prize 🤣🤣🤣 This looks gorgeous on you, how long did they take to install?
3 hours, and that included a blowout!
Ijeoma Kola wow! So they definitely don’t take as long as box braids to install.
what color combination is this?
Does this reduce build up?
Amazing
Thank you!
Hey
Where did you get the braids done?
At Spritz Hair Studio!
Thank you for replying
Just to be for certain, you didn’t rinse out any of the product you applied correct?
Correct!
Where did u purchase hair??
Hey! @spritzhairstudio
Wow! 👍
It says carols daughter discontinued this product 😫
Yes 😩 I mentioned that in the description box!
@@IjeomaKolaYT I didn’t realize it. I was searching like why can’t I buy this 😭😭😭 thank you for the video
I like it but might not have much time to do all of that so how do I make it really easy for me
When you put the scarf on you look like you were about knock someone out 😂😂😂 but I love the tips. I need to get some dry shampoo cuz washing any protective style is definitely a no go
Dry shampoo is life changing! This one works on natural hair too
You're so beautiful
Thank you so much!!
