    That's Beautiful i been wearing braids for over 30yrs.. And I've just started braiding my own hair. Was spend $150-$200 and it never be to my Absolute Liking, just OK. So i been practicing on my own hair. My friends be asking who did my braids. I feel So Good to say Me. Thick, Ful shoulder length hair, with edges at 57. I truly believe wearing braids all those years paid off.

      Same here. However, as I get older, I wish I had a friend or someone who I could trade and barter with as in do my hair I'll do yours or vice versa. Holding my hands above my head all day just makes it taxing. What state are you in?

    @fin4008 9 місяців тому +25

    Just needed slightly bigger parts in comparison to the amount of hair used so it’s not causing too much tension especially around the edges. The length/ weight of the extensions can also cause tension, just gotta make sure everything is in a good ratio for the sake of the scalp. ❤ ❤❤

    I got so many ideas from this video!! Thank you for posting it. Especially because my hair is thin once stretched. I like how full this looks when finished. If I were to twist only MY hair it would be super thin and underwhelming. I like that you braided the beginning of each twist. Imma have to practice that on the back of my hair. And watching you separate thr fluffy hair was key. I kept tangling it before. I also like you staggard the parts to give the illusion of fuller hair.

    Love it I used to get my hair done like this back in the day QUESTION do you gauge how long her real hair is to not damage it when dipping into the water ? My hair is very long I wouldn’t want it dipping with the fav hair as it can be damaging to my real hair ?

    • @SimplyaStylist
      @SimplyaStylist  Рік тому +2

      Thank you! I usually just dip as much of the hair as I can but if the person requested to only dip the ends then I do that. It’s up to your preference!

    • @jenniesmythe8188
      @jenniesmythe8188 Рік тому +2

      Also water boils at a temperature lower than most ppl put their flat iron on. It’s a different process as it’s water. But if that helps when you think of heat damage.
      But better safe than sorry. Just dip the ends. The hair looks beautiful not dipped at all makes it look even more natural.

    So when you separated the hair into three strands, did that create three separate twists? So one full strand creates three twists?

    • @SimplyaStylist
      @SimplyaStylist  Рік тому +7

      Correct! I used one strand for three twists on her head essentially. If you do it shorter mini twists you can get 4-6 twists from one full strand depending on how separate the hair. Hope that helps!

    All these comments talking about her hair is just fine/thin is exactly why most black women aint got no hair. All I am saying is this is not a protective hair style for her. The point of a protective style is to promote growth while preventing damage. But it is not the same for everyone. If u hav thinner/finer hair then adding extensions or tension is not gonna help ur hair. Sure it may look cute but it is not a "protective" hair style. I have 4c hair (legit 4c) down to my waist n to grow it i had to understand wat my hair could handle n what causes breakage. Yes this came out cute but all I'm saying is it is not a protective hair style if ur scalp looks like this

    I disagree with blow drying the hair especially for this style. But great job,.i know her fingers are hurting. I did this style for my two daughters before they went back to school.

      Everyone's hair is different. My daughter's 4C hair has INSANE shrinkage and needed to be blow-dried/stretched for this style with extensions. However, my hair (3B, 3C) doesn't need the blow-drier for this style with extensions. So, I guess it's all in how the natural hair behaves with the extensions. 🤷🏽‍♀️
