    Big chop December 2. I regret it a lot. Tried to braid my hair last night, and I was so frustrated. Now that I see your video, I have confidence I can do it. Our hair is literally the same length. Thank you for the inspiration !!

    The lady who braided my TWA used this method and my braids are so secure. I was so worried about the pain and braids falling off but amazingly, they're so secure and will last a good 2 months.

    Hi what is that hair dividing and braiding method called?? My method was to use one piece and fold it in the middle as two pieces that braid. But now my hair is too short so I’m trying to figure out your method, and find a video with a close up with the technique. Thank you for your video your hair looks amazing before and after ^.^

    Did any slide out and how long did you keep them in? My hair is about this length and even when it was longer, I still had major slippage. I think on this short, even if i touch a braid, it will just slide out since not much of my own hair in each braid

    • @AidaKiraya

I have been thinking about braiding it but it took forever when I had a lot of hair so now Im scared that it will take even longer. My friends use to make fun of me because I would have to take vacation because it would take so long.
