- I hope y’all are ready for another #FabOrFail! Today, I am putting the #Conair French Braider to the test! This tool claims to be the easiest braiding tool on the market to use, but will my team of beginner level braiders be able to make it work? Watch to find out…

I’ve been wanting to test out this #braiding tool for a while now, but I thought it would make an even more interesting video to see my team attempting to use it! Nobody on my team is as familiar with braiding as I am, and they all consider themselves beginners when it comes to french braiding, especially!
We tried 2 different French Braiding Tools, the links are below:
*Conair French Braider (pink): shopstyle.it/l...
*Amazon Braiding Machine (red): shopstyle.it/l...
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the end result of the Conair French Braider! I think the smaller one that I got off of Amazon was just too small. It might work on a little girl, or someone with very fine hair, but it truly does not hold very much hair at all!
I thought that the instructions from the Amazon tool were more clear, but that the tool performance of the Conair tool was WAY better. The Conair tool is definitely a FAB 👍🏼from me! I can’t believe how well the braids turned out, especially since my team has no braiding experience whatsoever!

Who created the best braid? Sana, Dana, or Ceci?? Comment below!
Don’t forget to keep up with my NEW hair care product line on instagram HERE: instagram.com/hairitagebymindy/

Sana!
Ceci
Everybody is saying sana, but i actually love ceci's the best
Dana for sure. Hers was the neatest but everyone else did so well 💕💖. I would definitely wear all of their braids but especially Dana.
ceci
I feel like this makes French braiding much harder then it actually is 😂
Jess W. Same!
Dakota Brown right??
Probably because you already know how to. :)
Petrichor yeah that’s true but trust me without these, it’s way easier. You have more control
Dakota Brown mkloo
Remember middle school, when french braiding was the most coveted skill in the world?
It's pretty easy tbh
and then girls would braid each other’s hair in class and teachers would go “my classroom is not a hair salon”
Absolutely-I remember my mom learned how in the 80s & when I wore it to school, all the girls were like ooohh. Also remember my mom demonstrating how to do it for her friends on me, & their ooohs and ahhs. I can't imagine what they'd think of some of the styles Mindy does!
Remember when your ALL grown up, and you have a kid in high school and one in college....and you STILL have NO clue how to French braid!?!??.....🤔😆😆😒
inkasrain haha yes. I taught myself to do it with only my hands, no brush and no mirror. This has served me well today.
This seems overly complicated. French braids aren’t that difficult with just using your hands...
Sarahr98998 not everyone is as talented as you🤷🏻♀️
I can't do it. I dont get it.
When you’ve been doing something for so long, sometimes it’s hard to remember how difficult or confusing it was when you were learning that skill or technique. For example, I can scratch bake really well. I can make everything from cookies, to cakes, to bread. For me those things aren’t hard. For other people those skills are hard. Sometimes things can be confusing at first when learning. With everything, the more you practice the better you get. If you suck at it, ask for tips for what you can improve then keep doing it and tweaking it until you get it right. Eventually you’ll be good at it.
@@chellejack3480 Practice practice practice. Thats how we learn. But practice without that contraption and just use your own God given tools. You can do it!
I agree that the tool thing is overly complicated. Whatever happened to left/right over center, adding hair before each twist? I can't see that the tool is less complicated then learning to french braid without it. I taught myself on my American Girl doll in 4th grade...nearly 30 years ago...😄👵
Whenever I try to French braid my hair it looks like an octopus so this should be interesting
Lol same
Lol same
Lol same
mine used to do that but a friend helped and now I. can do it! So my tip is to ask a friend!
Same
The small one could be used for kiddos hair.
Honestly though it would be a great tool for dads with daughters to teach them the technique
Or mums who don't know how to braid...
It would’ve been interesting to see you also teach them how to do a French braid without the tool, and see which came out better!!!
I wanted to see Mindy try it too 😁🏖
Cute! I think it would be easier to just learn to french braid.
I was thinking about buying one for myself because I think it's hard to French braid your own head so this should make it easier. Plus if your arms get sore doing your own hair within 30 seconds the clips will hold everything in place while you take a break. I do agree with you though. It is easier to just learn to French braid someone else's hair instead of buying this.
If feel like real life would be having them do the braid on themselves. Most people are not going to have someone there to do it for them.
Agreed! I'd like to see people try it on their own
This is great for dads with daughters. Or mothers who struggle with brading
I bought one to do on myself and it didn’t work at all.
I actually learned how to French braid myhair from watching a CGH video long before I ever French braided anyone else's hair. I'd be interested to see how this works on a DIY hairstyle.
So true Kim Tatum!
I’m two and a half minutes in and I’m stressed out.
Lol yeah. I'm stressing too lol
Yeeeesssss 🤣😂☠💀
Omg me too.
I can’t do a French braid my arm gets too tired because I have too much hair..
Me too
I can only do a rope braid or a 3 strand braid. It is hard with my hands.
Same - except my hair is just below collarbone (so it's not long), it's just very thick
Feel ya, Now that my hair hits my tail bone I dont french braid anymore
I relate to this so hard. My hair is super thick, and down to my butt. I’m also 6’2”, so that’s much longer than an average height girl with waist length hair. In addition, all the mirrors in my house are too short. French braiding for me has just never been an option.
After year braiding my hair by my own this tools look really complicated 😂😂😂😂
That is such a hassle, learning by hand is easier. Such a waste of money and resources
I don't understand how an French braid can be complicated.... it's a regular braid....just add hair. 🙄
If you have long and thick hair like me then you kinda can’t braid too well so this is helpful I didn’t even get a whole braid done without it and with it I did multiple
@@xiongksx I can french braid my own hair, but I can't do other people's. And I kno wpeople that can do other people's, but can't do their own.
A tool like this from the early 90s is how my mom learned to braid my hair! I know how braid but my daughter has such fine hair it is really difficult to keep hold of to add in! I may grab one of the smaller ones for her and the larger one for me. I love that it holds the hair in place so that if I need to rest my arms for a moment I could!
Who else is SO EXCITED FOR Christmas? ❤️🥰
Omg hi mindy!! Tell Brooklyn, bailey, Kamri, rylan, daxton, and paisley I said hi!!! Love you guys:)
I'll let them all know. We love you too! 💋's -Mindy
I loved the challenge between the office staff using the tool. Such a fun, new idea for the fab or fails. I'd like to see more like this. There's no way my hair would fit in that tool. My youngest daughter's hair might be thin enough for me to use it but my oldest daughter & myself have WAY to much hair for either of those!!
“WAIT 1/3????!!!” oh Dana hahahaha
I can French braid other people's hairs just fine, but I have a hard time doing my own hair because I can't see what I'm doing on the back of my head. Would this tool also help with that?
The only thing I know is people with really long hair usually flip their hair upside down, braid it and then flip it back 🤷🏿♀️but I think they're not doing it for it to be sleek.
When I French braid my own hair (which is definitely more difficult than braiding someone else's hair) after I do part of it I take a hand mirror and check the back to make sure it looks ok and there are no pieces sticking out at weird angles. If there are I undo it to the part where I messed up or I start the whole thing over again. After awhile you get it right on the first try almost every time.
I also take frequent breaks by resting my elbows on the sink :P
You could also get one of those mirrors with multiple sections that "fold" so you can see the back of your head without having to hold a mirror up, I'm not sure what they're called though.
Dana messes up at the end by reverse braiding but it ended up looking a lot cooler than the others.
I taught myself how to french braid on my own when I was 13.
I taught myself by watching a girl tht sat in front of me in sixth grade
Some people dont wantbto learn. I had a friend that would pay me to come over to her house to French braid her kids hair. I told her j would teach her, she said no, I dont have time for that. Idk
learning to do that is just as much works as just learning to french braid 😂 LOL
You should have had them try it on themselves. I feel like it would be impossible to use on yourself.
Heather Parrish that’s what I was thinking
I feel like it would be impossible to do a French braid on yourself that's why I wanted to buy one of these to help myself. I'm hoping I'll be able to do one myself if I use the tool. Otherwise I would lose track of where the hair is going and coming from. And my arms get sore and I would need a break. This seems like it would hold your hair while you rest your arms.
Who else has been watching this fam for years and will never stop?
Thank you so much. The great thing about this tool is that it lets me take breaks when I can't hold my hands up any longer Now I can focus on keeping the strands even instead of desperately trying to finish the braid while my arms are screaming!
Smaller size braids (like bang braid or headband braids) works well with smaller one. Bigger one if you're braiding all your hair into one braid or two... does take practice, but after you get the hang of it it's an awesome hair tool and capable of not only French braid, but Dutch, fishtail, e.t.c honestly it's like an extra hand for braiding your own hair.😍
I learned how to French braid by watching your tutorials over and over. Those contraptions would have totally discouraged me lol my suggestion is that they watch your tutorials lol
Good attempt girls! Ceci rocked it all the way, 😂. She was so focused!
Yay! I love fab or fails!
Sana made me smile from the moment she heard the first sentence of the directions.
thank you guys so much !!!! Now i know how hard it is, and... i want to use it on myself... if you would have tried that too, that would even be better for me, personally. But at least now I know it is not very easy to do it yourself and.. watch the size of the tool ! Thx so much for this fun and honest review !!!! Appreciate it so much !
It would be interesting to see a video of them trying it out on themselves.
I will have to watch this 50 times before this will sink in! Lol
Always wanted to be able to French braid my own hair. Enjoy this video thanks for sharing!😁
Dads using it would be hilarious!! 🤣😂
This is how I learned how French braid my hair many yeas ago
Love these fab or fail videos❤️❤️☺️☺️
Thank you so much for liking my comment....it means the world to me 😍
This is how I learned to French braid in the early 2000s!
How are we supposed to do this ourselves!? Ty so much
My goodness... it seems like this tool makes it 10 times more difficult to French braid... It really is a simple braid and this just makes it ridiculously confusing.
Ceci was ready to nail this. I love dana's confidence when u gave her the bigger tool.
For some reason I can dutch braid really easy (it's a reverse French braid practically to people who dont know) but it takes me a bit to get in the groove for a french braid. Especially in my own hair. Good thing I like the look of Dutch braids more😂
This looks like a great tool to help people, like me, who need help with French braiding their own hair
Love these videos. I didn't even know these were on the market. Honestly though, it's not hard to french braid. I learned just by watching someone else do it and then practicing on my own hair in 7th grade. It took quite a few attempts to make it look good, but now as a mom of 2 girls I'm SO glad I learned how to do it on my own! So excited for your new hair care line in January!
I’ve been thinking about buying this tool. I have carpal tunnel and I have barely any grip strength but I love braids. I’m hoping when I buy it it will give me some help with that. ☺️
As someone who fully understands how French braiding works but is completely uncoordinated, I would definitely use this. My issue is I dont have more hands !
Omg I literally remember watching your videos when I was in 6 grade like 10 years ago 😭 such a blast from the past to see you on my queue ❤️
I think ceci is the best💕 but all of you did sooo nice job👍
Dana’s what the best. Hands down! 🏆
I used this to learn how to french braid when I was a kid.
It's so funny when they compared braids at the end and each looked so fucking different 😂😂😂
Loveeeee you ❤❤❤ you and your fam are soooo great. HOPE you had lots of fun in Rome and HOPE to MEET you ONE DAY 😍😍❤❤🥰🥰❤❤❤
I’ve been watching your channel for so long. And still haven’t gotten a French Braid down. I have the large tool, just sitting in my hair accessory bag. I’m scared of it! Plus my heart is super curly, thick and long. But this definitely seemed helpful because the directions confused me so much
This would be a good tool for hair dressers developing arthritis :)
Not really.way more work than just do it by hand
Stacy Newton I don’t think you’ve had arthritis lol you can’t even move your fingers accurately
@@stacynewton34 braids by hand would be much more likely to cause rsi
Dana! The best one!
This was really fun to watch lol
I feel like the smaller one is maybe for like a section of hair, not your full head, or for a child's head.
That was so much fun to watch! Thank you!!
OMG I LOVE U SOOO MUCHH!! I LITERALLY LEARNED HOW TO DO BEAUTIFUL BRAIDS FROM UUU!! I WATCH UR VIDEOS SINCE 2013!!❤️❤️
This will help me so much
yay! That's what I'm here for! 💋's -Mindy
I remember watching the old videos where the girls were so young and you did their hair in the bathroom. I use to do the coolest hairstyles in elementary school lol!! I use to get so many compliments like the bow bun
I got these when they first came out in the 90s they are so easy to use they also came with a large and small braider so you got two, an instruction video and a booklet, I recently purchased one and there wasnt even a booklet with it which is a shame as I forgot how to do a dutch braid with this
This vid is so cute and I swear Kamri gets into every video whether it be on CGH or BrooklynandBailey 🤣🤣 love u guys😘
Love this video!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💋's -Mindy
This little device is good because it can help to teach people how to braid. One of the hardest things to do is know which pieces to grab when you make your braids. I with I had a device like this to help create double Dutch braids.
That looks like a total mess. French braiding is not hard. Just takes a little practice.
I think Ceci’s braid looked the best.
Love y’all!!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, i love you guys! Brooklyn and bailey (and kamri noel)are literally one of my FAVORITE youtubers ever. I discovered the family channel, and i love the hairstyles. Have a great day everyone!
Thank you! We love you too! 💋's -Mindy
@@CuteGirlsHairstyles could you tell brooklyn and bailey i said hi please
How do you do your hair so well?! I can’t even do a simple braid on myself...🙄🤦♀️😂
it would be interesting to see the ladies do their own hair. i personally have no one who would be willing to help me. 🤪
Love the fab or fail videos!!!
Thanks! Have you tried any of the tools from past reviews yet? 💋's -Mindy
I love that Kamri just randomly came in. Xxx
Dana....good idea 💡 Min.
Slot no longer sounds like a word lol
Thank you for this video I am purchasing this I can not French braid for the life of me! Thanks so much 👍🏾
This looks really interesting! I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving! 😘
Thank you, hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! It was definitely a neat tool to use! 💋's -Mindy
Hey CGH, I love ur whole fam 💛
Pleaseeee also come to Germany, I want to MEET you ONE DAY soooo much 😍😍❤🥰😘🤗☺💓💖
I mean, I personally think it's easier to watch a CGH tutorial and learn how to french braid.
Love you guys!!💙💙
superb video😍
Any body else realize she gave us a sneak peak of Hairitage ❤
I think that Ceci's braid looked the best.
I'm no good at French braiding one bit so this helped me so much! Thank you, love you guys!
Make sure you get the larger braider! 💋's -Mindy
I can’t wait to see if it works! I would do anything for my boyfriend to French braid my hair cuz it hurts my arms 😂
Edit: this video is hilarious 😂😂😂
Shauna Rohr ikr
Hi ms Mindy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's aubree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope y'all had a wonderful thanksgiving and had lots of fun on your trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a amazing week!!!!!!!!!!! Love y'all so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I love a good fab or fail I suck at doing French braids so any help I can get the better....I hope y’all had a great thanksgiving and trip. God Bless 😁
I myself dont need that but i well buy this for my sister and aunt they so need to learn ... Braiding is fuuun for sure
I love your videos!
why do I love your hair like a lot?
I love your chanel!!!
I used this thing as kid. You don’t keep the tool in your hand, the hair & head hold it in place. If you know how to do a basic braid, keep the technique in mind.
I loved getting to know the girls you work with! They have great personalities!
Dana did good with her hair
Watching this now. I SPY THE TEXTURIZING POWDER!
Nice tool
Hi Mindy!! I love you guys!!! Happy Thanksgiving
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 💋's -Mindy
This is seriously like learning how to braid challah!
this video was hilarious 😂
Incredible omg loved this so much 💕💕
