My first attempt to do box braids was a total fail, the braids were different sizes, parting was a mess. etc. But after watching this video, my second attempt came out 10 times better!! I'm not a pro but I saved $200!! Thank you mam!
me too lol my first time was horrible and im 13 but now my second try is better
+Nzinga Mair Every time you do you're hair, itll get better each time!
+Nzinga Mair You a girl what's yo insta im 13 too
MsFredericks my goal is to save $200 as well, I can only pray it comes out decent

Have you ever had a sugar daddy before to take good care of you for being such a beautiful princess kindly text this number +1 (903) 698-3168 or ig 431benjamin
Same for me... did my own braids
I love that you deep conditioned and moisturized prior to braiding, That way the natural hair is more protected!
I just finished watching a braiding video of yours!
@@niasaraeeee aww thanks for watching!

Hey, since I would say you are more of a professional I would like to ask you a question. Do you think that braids, dreads etc are just for the African community? Or do you think it doesn't matter if the person male or female is African, Asian, European etc?
@@babyfire361 Box braids in this style and locs are more suitable for black people's hair because our hair is often more coarse and can handle the weight/tugging from the style. Our hair is usually dry, so we can keep the style for a longer time before it becomes oily. People of other races can get box braids, but they should learn about how to care for their braided hair, and also understand some history behind the styles. When you wear them, give credit to black people for creating them and call them their proper names. You may get some looks or some comments.
As a bald white male in Australia watching this, I have officially come to the conclusion that as a result of Covid-19 I am very bored
Rhys Lewis LMAOO
U make me laugh good on u
I love this
No lies 😂😂🤭
I feel you.
Also, thanks for the tip on soaking the hair in ACV. I noticed that everytime I braid my hair, it starts itching within days
Yes she gave awesome tips
حلوو مراا❤️❤️❤️🌹🌚💜

Does it really works? And does it smells bad?
@@jillianekayeabarabar it does!! Been using this tip for myself and my clients since. You gotta wash it out with a fragrant soap afterwards though, until the smell is gone. Luckily, synthetic hair doesn’t hold onto the smell that easily
Can we just take a minute to appreciate that perfect make up? 😻
you can use any type of vinegar. white vinegar works fine. also soaking all the hair will not destroy the hair. been doing it for years
I don’t even have black hair I just watched this vid because the finished product looks gorgeous, she a whole queen. Also you gotta admire the skill. EDIT: yikes, I’m sorry for offending y’all, this is the way I intended my comment: I wasn’t trynna say that all African hair is the same, obviously, just like any other race, African hair is diverse with hair type. I said “Black hair” as in “African hair” not to invalidate the fact that there are many different hair types, but to give credit to black people. These are black hairstyles, not Asian, not white, not brown, BLACK hairstyles, I wasn’t trying to say that all black people have the same hair type, I was trying to say that these hairstyles belong to black people. Hope that cleared things up, sorry for my offensive comment !! Stay safe guys 🤎
Correction:
You don't have COARSE hair...black is a color not a hair type😊
As in African American hair lol. I didn’t mean color, I meant race. 😂 sorry it was confusing.
But if I were to talk about color, then yes I actually do have black hair lmao.
@@zaref17420
No you're the confused one as you seem oblivious to my previous statement...i knew you were referring to race when u said "black" hair...and again THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR...HAIR IS HAIR...which is why i corrected you and said COARSE...hair doesn't go by race/nationality or any other ignorant thing you can think of.
I know what you meant to say, it's all good girl! You should try box braids, I love see other races with them😍
Hands down. The best hair stylist I've seen on UA-cam. I'm in awe. So informative 👏
I'm 12 and I really want to learn how to do my own box braids this video was really helpful thanks
I know for me I could never get the grip right so I did the rubber band method instead. Worked great.
i can do them for you, where do you live?
Samara Love I sincerely hope you were joking.
@Samara Love
i really hope you’re joking
Same
This tutorial is everything 😭 I actually got my practice braid right on the first try. You are so good at explaining. I’m looking forward to doing my whole head soon. It’ll take time but I’m up for the challenge.
I can't wait to do it on my own hair. Saves me money and I can feel how tight I want it. And by the way love the color. I'm going to get some ombre hair. I'm gonna get black, noen green, and black, blue, light blue bundles.
This turned out so beautifully!

Thank you for the tutorial! I started doing my own hair like 3yrs ago and it was the best decision I made myself. Thanks again
Girl u teach me how to do braids!! Try for years! Nothing!! Once I saw the vinegar trick...this girl is a beast!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯😍😍😍😍😍Never got out til now. Great teacher!!! U go girl😘😘😘
I was about ready to quit doing my own hair. Now that I've seen your technique I'm confident to try it again.
Your braids look gorgeous! Excellent video!!
So cute! Funny story when I was younger I thought black womens hair grew into braids. I was so confused to as why I had to braid my own hair but theirs was already braided.
jordan valdez - That’s the funniest comment I have read so far!!😂😂😂
My sons father who is white thought the Sam thing. When I met him I had braids further into the courtship. He was confused when he saw me without braids and then braids again after about three cycles of this he said he got up enough nerves to ask me about my hair. Ha ha he said he did not know what was going on. But he liked my natural hair best. He also washed my straightening comb too. Omg.
😂 😂 🤭... That's so cuteee😭
🙄
SAME 😂
Wow! 2 years later and this video was very helpful for me!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
thank you SOOOO much for sharing your technique. I am currently braiding my hair and I couldn't understand why my braids didn't looks as tight. So I tried this method and it looks a lot better! :) yaas and the hair colour in here is so beautiful. The slow mo also really helped!!!!
YOUR NATURAL HAIR IS SO PRETTY
I have been using this method for the last 5 years, the best video ever.
Watching this makes me feel like I can do it 🤣🤣🤣.. this is the best explanation I've seen... instant replay was awesome... if you can just out some slow mo, that would help me too.. lol... but seriously though... awesome job
Your brownskin is gorgeous 😍
Yes ikr!!
And her face
This was my first time trying box braids. The method was so easy! I am getting many compliments.
This looks stunning. The braids, the color, the length, the model. All beautiful! I have always been such a huge fan of the box braid style!
Wouw. Just WOW. I cant even do a right pretty ponytail of something with straightnen iron and you do this magic all by yourself. Really talented , respect. PS. You are beautiful ❤
If I had your hair I would never wear weave! Your hair is so lovely and full!
oh my god, they are really beautiful, you have a super special talent for this: 3
Ain't nobody got time or money to be going to a salon and the lady who did my hair before, we don't really see no more so I'm trynna do this myself. I'm watching every video and I can and this technique and video has been the best tbh. I think imma buy the hair and use this technique to braid my hair. Wish me luck.
I love the technique you used & also I’m in love with the color beautiful 😍😍😍💯💯💯
Omg thank you!! I feel like I can do it by myself now 💪
I got box braids today and the lady showed me a catalogue of different box braids and she had a picture of you! Isn't that a amazing! I got the same braids as you and I like them
This is my first time braiding because of quarantine! This is the BEST method I’ve seen so far! Thank you! Is there a video on how to section your own hair when doing box braids?
SOMEONE HELP I AM DESPERATE
I spent 10 hours straight doing these and I finished them and they looked sooooo fricking bomb and I had them for 2 days and then third they all of them except like 3 of them fell out and like slid off of my hair I don’t know what to do how do I seal them at the top of my hair so they don’t slide off again cuz I wanna do them again because they looked SO BOMBBBBB
IRISponcible Goth
Try using gel products tend to help friction to keep them In at the top then dip the ends in boiled water to seal them
Emily Fleshner I used so much gel and they slid off and I did soak the ends in boiling water but thanks tho
Did u wrap ur roots/hair when u went to sleep? Bc that helps them to stay put over night and also eliminate frizz so they can stay in longer. And if that isn't the problem then maybe u didn't braid them tight enough
Its a trial and error process so my advice is to just keep trying and do different things to see if those things work better
IRISponcible Goth c
Girl this is PERFECTION! You slayed this and you look stunning 😍 I soooooo wish I could find a hair braider to do this exact technique because this is looks BOMB! I stopped getting box braids because, 1. I couldn’t find hair that wouldn’t have my scalp itch like crazy ( I have sensitive skin) and 2. all the women in my area always had my braids different sizes. Smh the braids just never laid right and would always be so damn heavy! Ughhh 😩
This is absolutely amazing. Your a good teacher. thanks
I’m about to do my own braids. Have had a lot of help from friends and even strangers. So excited. My friend is on call for when I m done so she can fix it lol
You are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Oh my goodness. Thank you for being a great teacher!
Your stunning !!! And ur hair looks amazing 😍😍😍
Thank you, it looks easier than what I was trying to do. I'm a Russian girl with a buzz cut, but my boyfriend a full head of these braids and he hasn't got access to his hairdresser at the moment.
Wow you do excellent work
I never knew you had to rinse it ... it that y my head itches the first week , learn something nw everyday
why do you soak the braiding hair in water & apple cider vinegar?? just wondering
It's to remove the alkaline base from the hair which can be irritating to the scalp.
She said and showed why!
She explained it in the video 0:35-1:15
it makes the hair softer, and takes the chemicals out of the hair
very informative, will be using these tips
+It's Jess Thank you!

Why are there so many thumbs down???? This is the detailed video ive been looking for!!!! For like hours!!!
this was the best video I found on box braiding, so clear and clean. love it
this video didn't even show how to braid hair. but it taught me how different techniques. ehhh i can deal with it i guess
i love all your videos. you always know how to explain your tutorials well. thanks a lot now I can do my hair perfectly
Love this hair style but the time it takes omg 😂 how do you do it for 10 hours+ I'd get bored after 10 minutes 😂
Work on your hair in 10 minute increments. Slow and steady wins the race
You are an angel I have been struggling with sizing my braids omg!!
white woman fascinated watching black women doing their hair... I've done this many times. Why?
Because once you go BLACK, you never go BACK
@@cn4910 oof
Probably cause you're beautiful and curious. Simple as that :)
incrivel!!! mesmo sem entender uma PALAVRA DO SEU IDIOMA , aprendi com vc !!! usarei o que aprendi. OBRIGADA POR COMPARTILHAR!!!
Great tutorial. I've done my hair for years but it takes a while. I like the idea of dividing it into three sections.
I just thought the diamond shapes on the side is genius and was like: I should do this too so I don´t look bald.
I just remembered that I have a double sidecut.
Your natural hair is so beautiful 😍😍😍 I love the color of those extensions too!!
I’m just an old white woman, but I just LOVE THIS!!! Just BEAUTIFUL!
Im asian, my hair is super thin, soft and have no structure at all! This was fascinating!❤️
Ur my new bff!!! My hair is natural n fine as urs I’m just loving these natural styles. I’m doing a flight attendant 2 months training n this will help
That colour looks good on your hair.
You are absolutely a queen!
omg dude THE FINGER TRICK. needed that
This looks freaken awesome girl !!!! Im so gonna try this technique!! I am Hispanic with shoulder straight hair so I hope it works out for me!!!!!
Is it ok for a Latina to do this? I don't wanna come out as racist and I don't want anything to do with culture appropriation:/
Yuly it's okay, you can do, I'm sure you'll look pretty!
Yuly I think this is ok for anyone . Like, if u want to do smth, than do it . Fuck the ppl.

I’m freaking white as hell and just watch videos like this bc I really like to learn new things and im glad I found this
I don't know if you are aware of it but the picture in the middle (the one in the image before the video starts) is very often used to sell fake hair for braiding.
i love that. wish i could pull that look off slash do it myself so i don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to have someone do it for me
Man that is some serious arm workout 👍
This tutorial was excellent! Really helped me out!
Very cool I’m getting one too but another colour
Hey babe, the braids look literally stunning but the one thing I don’t understand how you make the boxes so even x
