I didn't realize that microbraids were considered out of style to people. It's my go-to style since I'm natural too. Even in my profile pic I'm wearing micros Lol. I love how versatile they are. I want straight? I use straight hair. I get bored, hot water makes them wavy. I want a deep twist or a bouncier curl? I can do that with rods or buy a pack of curly hair for the look I want. I just love them and love how neat your braids are.
Agreed...ppl are a trip bc they do consider micros to be “out of style” but I think I’m about to get me some I used to wear them all the time as well & I’m natural also. Guess I’m bout to be a trendsetter in 2020 bc I’m getting me some micros 🤣😉
I really wish they would bring back micros!! They barely sell micro braiding hair now! If they become popular they the Asians will start selling the hair again…
Micros will always be in style in my opinion I'm wearing them now it took me 7hrs to do I had breaks in between it's faster because don't braid it to the end. Love braids they're beautiful
Just got my microbraids for the very first time and I am LOVING them. I can remember the ladies rocking them when I was a kid and I thought they were so pretty on them. Now I’ve took it back in 2020 and got a lot of compliments. They look beautiful on you too.
Pretty!! I just did mine 3 weeks ago and I love them!! They took me about 3-4 days because I took long breaks but when I'm done with these, I'll probably let my hair rest a bit then do them again.
Easiest way takedown. Cut where your hair stops or the knot on the end. Dampen your braids put conditioner on your hair and let it sit for a min. Gather a few braids at a time and take a medium to a small tooth comb. Start at the ends and go for especially if you use human hair. They will slide out.
Girrl, I love this! I am also a 1990's micro braids girl and have been wearing them for years. I will be putting mine in On Feb. , 20222. Im tired of doing all the braids every one else is doing and want something different. Its also been about 12- 13 years for me. Soooo, its time for us to bring them back. I do mine myself so Im gonna give myself at least 2-3 days to finish. All I use is 100% human hair because it is more versatile. Thank you for this video, your hair is beautiful!!!
How can braids go out of style? I haven't had them in a while because there were few people doing them. But, now I can do them myself. When done neatly braids give you that extra you're looking for because they pull the skin back. I've seen beautiful girls with straight hair, curly hair, etc, nothing looks as good as braids on them. Check out Jaleesa Moses. She has many different hairstyles and she looks great with all of them. But, you will see that the braids are the best look on her.
Wow, your braids are 💣. I had them years ago but my real hair was shoulder length so it didn't take that long. Now it's around mid back. I'm not sure if I have the patience to install or to remove them. They're gorgeous on you. 😍😍
Hey! I was searching videos like this bc when I was young my mom used to do me micro braids (all the way down to the end of my hair & without synthetic braiding hair bc i had long hair) every summer to protect my hair from damaging and it really helped a lot. But I'm 15 now and since I learned about cultural appropriation & blackfishing I want to know if these braids are appropriate considering that I'm not black (I'm Mediterranean) and I'm not using synthetic hair. I would LOVE to know that bc I don't want to disrespect or hurt no one🥺. Sending lots of Love😘!
@@Slimm_Sheedah1 Thank you so much for the quick reply. For a long time I thought what I was doing wasn't right but now I'm finally calm😅 and btw you are STUNNING😍 Love U 😘!
Hi Elle, thanks for the video. Can you tell me how many packs of hair you used to braid your whole head and the length. I normally buy 2 packs of human hair but haven't braided my hair in years. Thanks.
No name ,sorry. They purchased the hair from across the street. It didn’t even have a name or label. That’s how they do in NY. Lol when they need stuff they just run over to the beauty supply🙏🏽
@@chet0388 do you remember the seller you brought from? Gurl I been on ebay tryna find some deals but these folks out here tryna charge the same prices you'd pay for some damn Brazilian bundles! 😂
@@bluebird1694 I just bought the last two bundles from leevapor. The seller had 24 inch lord and cliff wet n wavy in the color blonde for for 25.99. Lol yes some ppl are really crazy with the prices. Did you try mercari?? Sometimes I have to change the naming around to get different results. Bulk human hair, bulk hair, bulk braiding hair.
Micro from what I'm use to are smaller. These to me look like just small braids , but I'm thinking these are synthetic and that's why, because human hair are smaller. But they are nice though ☺️.
I have 30 plus years as a professional Braider. These are Beautiful Small Individuals. Micros are much smaller. Yes it’s great to see our Beautiful Styles come back. Blessings
I love micros, the braids they’re always doing or to big and heavy . I’ve done it a few times but I doesn’t last on my hair like micros . & I can do them myself .
They look really good. I still wear them. U can just wash and go. I'm allergic to argan oil but tea tree and coconut oil is all u will need. U look beautiful
I plan on getting me some micro braids as well as soon as my sides grow out a little more. I don't care how old they may seem. Main reason of me growing out my hair so I can rock me some micros...lol
Yaaaassss it’s summer time let’s go!!!! Second hand with the nursing school schedule who has time 🤦🏾♀️ I got some for Mother’s Day & I was rushing them because they were about to make me late for MJB concert 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yasss both of you ladies are pretty 😍
Hi Elle! I'm completely new to your channel and I've never had braids before. I've always wanted to get them but Ive heard horror stories not just about the experience itself but how they treat you at salons and the things that can happen to your hair because of braiding. Is there any tips for things I should look out for while at the salon about how they are braiding my hair? I have naturally curly hair that is super long but due to shrinkage it comes to my shoulders and I was told braids are a great way to lengthen them. I'm very worried about ruining my hair so I would love to hear some tips on how to keep your braids clean, how they should be braided, and how to undo them properly. Thankyou so much for your videos and for making me feel very welcome to your channel!

I did micro box braids on myself at the beginning of the year. It took me 3 weeks. And they lasted 2 months. I loved them tho. Very neat and versatile
Really? I need to try that when I have some free free time lol! Thanks for watching
@@Slimm_Sheedah1yes! Im doing another . set but this time im doing human hair. Thank you for posting sis. Keep up the work!!
Thank you💕
I do this braid on my own hair at least once a year I love them using deep twist hair
That would look pretty
Awesome, I'm. Getting mine in soon. Love the different styles. You slayed how they all looks good
Thank you Queen!
I love micros when the girls would wear them back in high school 😘
Yep putting some in my hair right now it's December 2020. The new name for micros are Boho braids.
Wow, thank you! I’m literally trying to get these Asian beauty suppliers to start selling the actual hair again!
The nostalgia is real! Very beautiful look.
Thank you 😊
💛 You made me miss wearing my micro braids. They’re so pretty on you!. *heads to beauty supply store*
Thank you! Yes get them!
@@Slimm_Sheedah1 what type of hair did u use for ur micro braids?
Yes, I can work out with braids. Wigs? I can't, I'm active, sweat and people can tell you're wearing one.
Lol. U are right!
I miss wearing micro braids and ty zillions, they are so convenient and versatile..Urs are sooooo pretty!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks hun 💕

I love them and can’t wait to do again
My micros braids takes about 12 hours or more due to the length of my hair. But, they are so nice when there’re done 😘❤️👍🏾
12? Yikes lol
Yeah sis I'm with you. I'm about to bring it back too!!
I can’t wait to do them again! You are gonna look so good ❤️
Zoe Kravitz is still rocking them it's become her signature I'm thinking about getting some yours looks good on you.

These things took forEVer to get done and forEVEER to take down, but I loved them.
Hahahah yes! But not doing hair for awhile it’s worth it
Getting these again soon‼️ thanks for the review

Beautiful! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching 😊
I wish you had put the name of the braids in the description bar. Not every human hair is the same and I love this one.
I’m sorry I don’t remember . Actually they bought the hair from across the street, didnt have a name on it.
Micro from what I'm use to are smaller. These to me look like just small braids , but I'm thinking these are synthetic and that's why, because human hair are smaller. But they are nice though ☺️.
They could’ve been smaller and it is human hair. I didn’t want them smaller than this.
I have 30 plus years as a professional Braider. These are Beautiful Small Individuals. Micros are much smaller.
Yes it’s great to see our Beautiful Styles come back.
Blessings

I just take them out carefully. Sometimes I use conditioner. Braids are perfectly safe if you take care of them. Thanks for watching💕
So pretty! ❤💜😍
Thank you😊
What kind of hair did you use?
It’s human hair 1 and a little bit of 27
Gurl...I've gotten my micro braids
Again since the early 90's
Yes!! Don’t you love them? I can’t wait to get them again.
I cant wait to get mines im going tht route....light weight
I love them.
Looking good boo 😍
Thank you!!
Could you tell me what type of hair was used? Human hair? Human blend?
Hi! It was just human hair probably a blend yes but I don’t know what the name was.
Thanks for responding
I am getting some next month 2021🤗😉😘
I just got mine and love it!
Yaaasss
Yes I’m going to wear them again these are cute
Love my Micros, not so much the time for installing. 👀 good
Thank you. Yes the time sitting there is blah but the turn out I love!
What human hair did you use suppose to get mine done today
I don’t even know. They purchased from the beauty supply across the street from their shop
I do micros on my natural hair now I love them
Did you use real hair? That’s what we used to use for micro braids
Yup. Human hair 1 and 30 I think or 27
Thanks for watching
Hi! what brand did you use ?
Is the beautician only suppose to braid until she reaches the end of your hair or longer???
Yeah the mostly braid mid way down so it has the appearance of “real hair”.
They are nice. The only thing I don’t like is they make your edges come out
Shandone Valentine only if they braid too tight
any braids will make your edges come out..it's all about technique
Same with wigs.
What kind of hair is it and where can I order it
It’s human hair and the shop supplied it to me. You can probably find on Amazon or any hair supply website. Thanks for watching!
I'm getting micros this weekend.
Yessss
Great content thanks
Just got some today!
Yesssss
I still got my edges I used kadoscope miracle drops
I’m using a different oil now
@@Slimm_Sheedah1 okay
Why people keep saying micros in 2020? Not trying to be funny but it doesn’t matter what year it is, I would get them anyways..
Absolutely!
Nice!!
Thank you!
Love them...
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤
❤️ I want some but my edges said no
Lol girl you have to
Be nice to them that’s all😂
@@Slimm_Sheedah1 😂😂😂
❤
The braids around the edges are nice but the ones in the middle are way bigger than the rest that's not good
Yea they try to get slick lol. But by the time hours go by idk and I’m ready to go!
That’s not gone be fun taking down lmfaooo
Real talk😊
Did you use human hair?
Yes, but I don’t remember the brand 😩
I was a true wet and wavy girl
🥰👑👑👑👑👑👑
Hi Elle! Coming through to show support. Full watch and view to the end of this video!
What kind of hair did you use?
This was human hair a mix of 1b and 30
