    These look so good! I know ppl are obsessed with knotless braids but traditional box braids will ALWAYS be my go to. Do anybody else have to watch multiple videos of other ppl doing their hair JUST to get in the mood to do your own 😅. I supposed to had started on my hair days ago and I have yet to start. I really want the braids but it’s so time consuming. I gave myself an undercut just to cut down on the time I’ll be braiding 😂

    Your hair is gorgeous. I just finished mine tonight. Took me 2 days to do from morning till night. It was my first time ever braiding my hair like this with extensions. I have never braided my own hair before so I was very surprised it came out ok. Ppl say it looks professional but they might just be being nice. LOL I do wish it was longer but my feet hurt after standing for so long in the mirror for 24" braids ( too close to my natural hair length). I hope it last for a month too. ROFLOL If I do it again I think I will invest in longer hair. I was happy you said how long it took you because I was feeling bad about myself. I think you have more braids than I do but I appreciate that you said it took 4 days. I don't feel so silly now. Thanks for the video. Love your hair.

    If you're a girl who always wears your braids down like me, i do 2-3 rows of cornrows in the back to save time. I never wear my braids up in a bun so it save lots of time...... And if you ALWAYS wear your braids up in a bun you can cornrows the middle and box braid the perimeter

    Oh my, I feel you on the days it took to finish. I'm just learning, and just completed my second install, and this time I started small. It was just a pain. I had to kee p dipping and using the towel as well to lay those loose pieces of hair. Don't think that I will do these anymore for awhile. They are pretty though. Yes I got sick, sick of doing them so small. I found a beginners friendly and went from there. Those ate beautiful.

    I had small human hair box braids in the early 2000's. It took a week to remove them. I had to go to work each day and resumed when i came home. I cried on the last day because i lost sleep and 20 years latee i remember being slumped on the floor in front of my bed rushing to tske them out.
    Ive vowed never to do them that small again lolll.
    I love watching vids and i tip my hat to people who do them but i just wont.
