      LaQuana Williams 😂 Shooot! In the place where I used to go, they would try to grab every hair on my forehead and when I complained they told me "your hair is too short". I told them "STOP TRYING TO BRAID MY EYEBROWS!!!" 😳🤕

      LaQuana Williams exactly, that's why i don't go get my hair box braids at no African shop( Crochet box braids only) when i seen that it bugged me out how that much hair for that amount of little hair you left out.😕

    Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! I have very fine, thin hair and I love how braids look on other people and I always wanted them for myself but I didn't think that my hair could hold them, but to see how beautiful they look on you and you have fine, thin hair is just awesome! You are a God send honey!!!! Thank you so much!

  • @mjscarousal
    @mjscarousal 7 років тому +61

    I personally would just leave the edges out and just simply gel it down with a healthy edge control and it actually gives the braids a different look. That is what I do and I get loads of compliments.

  • @vickynikol2772
    @vickynikol2772 7 років тому +13

    I used to have box braids, they were too tight, too heavy(but I didn't know that was wrong) and in just a week my hair fall out.. So I started using vitamins, and Thank God ,my hair is fine right now.

  • @maddyhemmo5800
    @maddyhemmo5800 5 років тому +13

    I’m so glad I found this video, I am going to be doing my mom’s box braids because she found out that I can do hair (really good too) and she likes to save money but my mom has extremely fine hair and when I did her hair the first time, I used that jumbo box braiding hair that was kinda frizzy and kinky I guess and I put way to much hair to that little one strand and so I wanted to try again and this video is so informative thank you so much !!

  • @NeverLetLoveGo

  • @goatedwiththesticks2901
    @goatedwiththesticks2901 5 років тому +25

    Great tips I have thin fine hair also I wear braids all the time I don’t style them constantly the constant pulling up and down not only makes the style look old faster it’s pulls your hair out... and when my braids start to dangle around my edges I take those braids out usually about four on each side and I just use edge control to lay my edges down and wear it like that until I take them out and I’m totally fine with that

  • @bri2970

    @bbdeer8795 7 років тому +3

    This is a very informative, helpful video. You explained everything so thoroughly and patiently! There don't seem to be be many videos or braiders that make the distinction between fine/thin hair and thick hair. Our hair is really prone to breakage and should definitely be handled as such. I will be using these tips for my next Senegalese twists. Your braids we're gorgeous! Thanks for this!

    @DrPhylCunningham 8 років тому +1

    Thanks for the info. ..good food for thought. I just thought the tapering was for beautification; now I know the science behind it. Very interesting.

    • @PocketsandBowsTV
      @PocketsandBowsTV  8 років тому +1

      You're so welcome hun! When you do a major taper like mine it makes them lighter. If you just taper toward the very end they well still be pretty heavy IMO.

      @tystabile3321 4 роки тому +2

    it's annoying when you tell them, "hey don't braid too tight" and they say "if I don't it will fall out and then you come back for your money" 😑
