I’ve been trying to perfect my little boy’s parts since his dad likes when I braid it. The way you explained the rows within the sections, really gave me my “aha! 💡” moment! Thank you!!
This is the best tutorial ever! How do you keep the ends from being too dry and not looking clean like the start of the braid? They start to get a little knotted. Are you applying more gel as you go? ❤️
Thank you! Yes exactly but not too much just a bit to my finger tips as I braid down for smoothing..I also comb the hair sometimes just a little as I braid down to keep everything detangled. This will help with tangling as well when it comes time for the take down 👍🏾🙂
ma'am I am living in Turkey and no barber here is competent enough to do my hairline like that... do you have any tips? I heard that for braiding you need to start not exactly from the start of your hairline and leave some hair there, cut them short and continue from a finger above. is that correct?
Turkey, wow that is amazing. Just my thoughts but it really depends what the client wants. I have some client’s that really have a defined hairline that is separated from the style. Then some clients hair even at the hair line is the same length of the rest of their hair. From what you described it sounds correct. My husband is a barber as well and my next video will be a collab on men’s braids 😊
AHHH so i need to make the braids fall between the layers?! last time i braided my son hair he was 2-3 years old. now a teen, mom would you platt my hair SMH
Try wild growth oil from your local beauty supple put it on your scalp that’s how I grew my husbands hair. He could never get it to grow before I met him and now his hair is almost as lengthy as mine
Hi 👋🏾 I’m new to your channel! Not sure if I missed this, but what did were you using? I use the pure o natural lock & twist gel, is that good to use on mens braided hair too?
I have a question. When I do box braids on my husbands hair the tails of his braids tend to curl inward towards his neck, how do I prevent that from happening and make sure to keep the tails of his braids stay straight?
That is a great question. Two suggestions. 1. Braid all the way down as far as you can. 2. I wouldn’t suggest this all of the time but you can always take a flat iron on low heat and run it over the ends. Hope that helps hun! 😊
I learned 2yrs ago (thanks to the pandemic) how to braid my biracial son's hair (I'm white 🤗) and with practice I've gotten pretty good. Now others (with way shorter hair) have noticed and ask me to braid their hair like his 😳... any tips with shorter hair? I mean like barely 3 inchs short 😅... also what braiding gels or paste do you recommend? I try to make sure I know the texture of someone's hair but I'm still not sure which product works best for which hair texture 🤔. PS: those box braids were fresh! So amazing!
Thank you for sharing to be honest, I really don't braid lengths under 3 inches as it is very difficult for me to grip especially for box braids. I would suggest letting the hair grow out some.

My boyfriend currently has an afro that's getting quite long and large. He loves the length, but wants to be able to wear hats again. Will box braids hinder his ability to grow his hair even longer? He's wanting to eventually get locs when his hair is a length he's pleased with, so I mentioned the possibility of box braids until that length is reached. What do you think? (If you reply, thank you for taking the time to read this. I truly appreciate it 😊)

Here to learn how to braid my brothers hair who’s is more coily than mine 😂❤ thought he’d never ask so I was underprepared
So I notice does it matter if you do your braids over instead of under? Is it a slight cornrow to bgin with?
No it doesn't matter, it's all preference. However I don't start with a slight cornrow for my box braids.
AHHH so i need to make the braids fall between the layers?! last time i braided my son hair he was 2-3 years old. now a teen, mom would you platt my hair SMH
I know sis, everything has certainly changed from how we used to do styles then.

Can you do a hair growth tutorial because I’ve trying to grow my hair for so long but nothing works (4c hair)
Try wild growth oil from your local beauty supple put it on your scalp that’s how I grew my husbands hair. He could never get it to grow before I met him and now his hair is almost as lengthy as mine
Conditioner everyday shampoo every other day take vitamins
4c hair typically needs plenty of moisture. Some say using the LOC method has really helped them with moisture and length retention.
Hi 👋🏾 I’m new to your channel! Not sure if I missed this, but what did were you using? I use the pure o natural lock & twist gel, is that good to use on mens braided hair too?

how do you secure the ends? I've watched multiple videos and no one ever actually says how.
I use rubberbands.
What do you use at the bottom of the braids to hold the braidS ? Are you using rubber bands ?
Yes I’m using rubber bands at the end
What products do you use??? And what do you do to the ends once your finished??? Do you tie them up or leave them be???
Products are in the description section. I use rubber bands at the ends
Can u use any type of gel?

Does Shine n Jam tame the frizz as well or should I use a different product?
yea it does but the only thing is that it makes the hair have a greasy look.
@@savvytt5586 does it go away
@@kaleyxkenshin4683 yeah it does
I think Shine n Jam works very well for frizz
Love them!! How long does it take you & how much do you charge for something like this?
Its takes about 2 hours...and about $80.00
Do you have any recommendations to prevent ends from being puffy/frizzy?
Braiding all the way down and the right product for the hair type should help plenty
@@NiqueLynn thank you. I’m still experimenting.
Wow man box ❤❤❤❤❤❤
😍
I can braid but struggle with parting , thankyou so much this was helpful
Do your hair have to be that long for that style, or is there like a shorter version???
No your hair doesn’t have to be this long

Will this still work if my hair on top is kinda long but I don’t have any of that “neck hair” or the ones on my lower head.
Wherever your hair is long enough to braided it should work
This is fye🔥no 🧢
Any tips or routine to maintain the braid for that texture of hair?
I think making sure that it's covered at night and keeping the scalp moisturized is key
what gel product did you use on his hair?? where can i get it??
shine n jam
What's the name of the background music while you're doing his hair? So smooth.
I’m not sure of the exact name, but I use Epidemic Sound for all of music selections.
So at the bottom you braided 4 then continued to braid 5 in each row?
Hi Melly, here is a video with a full breakdown of the parting ua-cam.com/video/DvXquHcVCf0/v-deo.html

Denver!! Wow, my client actually just came back from Denver..small world
OMG indeed😳
bro u from Denver i am from Denver to
bro u from Denver i am from Denver to
How do you get the beginning not to loosen off the head as you braid down i always have that issue
Try splitting the base in 3 equal sections prior to braiding, that may be helpful with the grip.😊
Thank you so much is voice then video
Ohh wow thank you
Did you put any bands at the enf
Yes, I used rubberbands
I tried doing this by myself and i couldn't properly section it but my mom (who doesn't have experience on box braids but can do cornrows) did it perfectly now im jealous cuz idk how to braid neatly

Hi hun I have a list of all the products in the description section ❤️
Hi, first time I got box braids, I got thick straight hair, & my ends are kinda long, is it okay to cut them a little shorter?
Or is it normal to have end tails like that? Sorry first time getting this 😅
You probably wont need to cut them, just rubber band them to secure them
my boyfriend is allergic to gel.. is there anything else i could use?
Maybe a pomade or an edge wax, as long as he's not allergic to it.
Are you doing over or under hand?
Probably both at different points
Where do I ebook

i got long curly hair would it work on curly?
Yes
How do you stop the end from curling up
I just you rubberbands and try to make sure I braid all the way to the bottom
How do you finish off the ends a rubber band ?
Yes rubberbands😊
How do you do the under braid?
?
Plaiting under is the same method for corn row..regardless how you hold the hair.. Plaiting over lies flatter..
I want to do this to my hair but idk if it’s long enough yet
How long is your hair?
@@NiqueLynn shorter parts are like a inch or 2

Hi Cheyenne, box braids would probably promote even more growth. 🙂
Where can u find this hair dryer?
You can click on the link to my Amazon store 🙂. It should be in the description section.
This guy invited me to his house and I told him I could braid but i can’t so I’m watching THIS LMFOA

Same on repeat 😂😂
I also want something like that but I have straight hair it could be?
Yes straight doesn’t prohibit you from getting this style 😊
are you putting gel on the parts ?
yes, Shine n jam...link in description 😊

I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean by fixed them.
Great video. What's the song playing? Thanks
Thank you so much! I am not sure of the title however I use Epidemic Sound
Hi what did he used to grow his hair so long
I think it was more or less just sticking to a routine. Nothing special was used
Keeping it braided and keeping in moisturized every few months get your ends clipped .....my hair is similar length to his
@@itzsabbage3830 what can I use to moisturized my hair
@@Thierryf868 I just oil my scalp with coconut oil and it keeps my scalp moisturized and hair soft

I got box braids recently and I was wondering if there is a way to make your braids thicker
You can either part them bigger or add small pieces of hair
@@NiqueLynn ok thanks
I need my hair braided so badly, wish you were closer to Cali. However, I think your worth that flight once a month!!
That’s so dope thank you, I’m in PA. However if you’re ever in the area here’s the link to my booking site niquelynn.com.
How much would it cost to get your hair done like that?
It really depends on the braider I imagine the price can range from $50-$75
Im gonna try on my son thanks
Awesome!
