Basically a loc retwist. Be careful with this. If your hair is thin, it may not be strong enough to support the weight of the synthetic hair once twisted and it can cause breakage or random tiny bald spots. If it is thick, or course, it may actually loc depending on how long u keep them in. Be safe out there!☺️
Girl your edges are so obedient 🙌🏾🤩
That’s the same thing I always say about her hair...
Right? I stopped trying ten years ago! 😂
Right! 😂
😁
Patreese right my edges cuss and fight back.
I actually thought she'd undo the front braids and braid them once more...such a life saver!!😁looking great 😍
Same.
I thought the same. I'm glad I clicked.
Right, same here. This process will save so much time for me if I can get it to turn out right.
@@kseke25 haha
@@mrsallister32 yeah
Wow didn't even know this was possible lol. The braids look amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Shandaece Alexander I agree, I like to see that support too
I love youuu🥺🧡
Ooh omg , sis hey!!!!
They don’t really look like they’ve grown out much at all, just the edges are out and crusty. They still look pretty new!
Right...holla at me when that new growth hit 2 inches 😂
Not out and crusty 😭😭😭
@lavidavi right I just said but here I am with dreads a month later 🙄😂
lavidavi yes my new growth be so quick mines look like that after 2 weeks. I really long thick hair and my hair grows so fast it’s not even funny smh
@Lecee M exactly!!
I wouldn’t recommend doing this more than once in between retwist . You don’t want you hair to lock underneath. This style will be good for one month. Then after that go get your hair refreshed. Love the video.!! ❤️
I was thinking this too! -and was wondering how long because my hair locs fast. Thanks for this additional info!
Huh? I’ve had braids in for months at a time and my hair doesn’t loc. Your hair ain’t gone loc unless it’s matted or you actually put beeswax or something in it. It ain’t gone loc in no box braids.
Me three. I've seen my hair dresser do locks refresher & right here is the method she does.
@@FlowerTower black hair does not need product to loc. Depending on the tightness of your curl pattern it can absolutely loc up this way.
@@africarib absolutely, my friend did this and her hair loc, she didn't use any product.
Countdown for my knotless braids 😊 I use sea breeze or canviiy to cleanse my scalp/edges, oil/leave-in spray once a week, & use a satin scarf. Try to use little to no products, your braids will lasts & your hair will grow...
True
I use the tea tree and mint scalp treatment once every other week to help with product build up
Exactly what i do do my braids, i DO use shampoo, conditioner, and leave in though. Gel to twist the roots and clips to hold them. Sit under the dryer then oil my scalp and apply oil sheen. Works like a charm! I have my braids for at minimum another 2 weeks.
Beautiful braids my only concern is it seems that can weaken the hairline I would love to try that but my edges already thin but people with thicker hair should be fine BUT BE CAREFUL not to retwist it to often
Imo it’s better for your hair then let the friz be friz and get tangled up when you rub your scalp or whatever
This is the same exact method as dreads.
Slap some aloe Vera and rice water and your edges will be good as new
@@JustMe-vs1kj what happens when those roots start to loc?
absolutley look great though
How did you know i needed this vid???😆
Glad I could come through for ya!
Same here
How did you dry the braids afterwards? Air dry?
Whoever is reading this Jesus Christ loves you so so much 💛💛
Thank youuu❤
Amen thank you Jesus for this message
Is this a bot? If not then thank u
Amen.
God bless you 🙏
Girllllllllllllll a month?????? My hair is miserable after one week. I'm struggling to keep it in for a month. I'll try your method and see. Thankssssssss 💕💕💕💕
Mines too after 4 days I thought I was the only one lol
Mines too that's why I can't get braids for long 2 weeks my hair grows out of style and I be ready to take them out
I thought it was just me. Her 1 month looks like my 1 week😩
You make everything look so easy ..but I do know you put in a lot of effort in your content..informative useful video once again 👌🏽
Gurl....u got Magic Hair!!!😂
I’ve seen another video, braids were 2 months old... the mom used black rubber bands to refresh the roots.
Refresh box braids, no re-braiding
5%LowBattery oof. Rubber bands break my hair real bad. Makes sense that they could prolong a style though.
Pearl Woodson Not if you soak them in scalp oil for a bit then use them... this eliminates breakage.
I just shaved my head but I'm already ready to grow my hair back out to get braids, lol love you girl. I just started my own UA-cam journey. Stay blessed, beautiful people
It’s basically the same technique with locs. She’s “retwisting” the roots.
Exactly....
I’ve been wearing braids for ever and never thought to refresh in this way! Thank you so much.
Perfect timing for this vid..just took out my box braids last week because I can only go bout 2 wks with them in before I need to either wash my hair or redo perimeter. I'm getting them redone this week & now I know how to refresh them without having to take them out completely. Also I found some great protective styling products in Walmart by Dark & Lovely.They have a cleansing water, tension tamer serum, & detangle cream that I've been using to help refresh my braids.
Genius !! I always get my perimeter rebraided & never thought to do this! ❤️❤️❤️
I use to do this years ago and I think this made my hair fall out. My hair is fine though and I didn’t moisturize it or wash it like you did so that probably had something to do with falling out also.
I do my own braids and because I spritz with aloe Vera/water weekly the braids slip sometimes so I usually refresh and moisturize by removing the entire braid and seal with Shea butter but I don’t do them all on the same day. I’ve been able to retain a lot of growth by doing this.
The tension is not good for some people
My hair used to fall out too. I think the braids were too tight and I wasn't moisturizing hair while braided. I now braid my own hair and don't do it too tight and I spray my scalp to keep moisture while hair is braided.
Creates knots lose so much hair or at least i did just take them out as soon as needed or redo them
Have you tried knot less braids? I heard that's better for fine hair.
The Giovanni gel is so amazing. Thanks for always keeping it quick and simple - your braids look new!
I was just about ready to take out my month old braids, thank you for the inspo! 💕
I wouldn't recommend this with small braids though, I always do it but learn not to keep twisting the new growth bcuz I then ended up with loc roots. Wasn't too easy to loose out at all
Girl no my edges will be dead 💀
I cant grab my hairline like that I’m still recovering from last year 😫
Same here
Same
Same. Tried it once, never again.
Yes..mine are too fragile for any tension like this. Looks nice though.
As soon as the water would have hit my hair ...it would have been over
😂😂😂
Me too. When I saw that she was in the shower wetting her hair my dropped open! LOL
Right i was like “oh no my hair isn’t coily its kinky and if it hits that water its game over…”
Great Job!! Everyone has diff texture hair, so this vid may not be for everyone. Like someone said in the comment....your edges are obedient😂
Love the end result👌
You always post videos I didn’t know I needed. I’m gonna stretch my daughter’s braids until her next appointment. Quarantine has made me lazy when it comes to the hair. She’ll throw on a mask, head band or hat and out the door. Tfs!😍
That was like night and day! They looked super refreshed afterwards 👍🏾
This is such a great tip to redo your braids without braiding I absolutely love it!! 🦋🦋🦋
Yeeeees!!! I do the same thing!!! People be like “why they still look new”
Woow its great i dont have much edges though like no baby hair i wish i did thiugh lol
I'm glad this works for you. People have to be careful. This technique broke my hair off when I was a teenager.
Oh wow, looks really good- u can do it all but that gel and twisting would probably make my edges fall out
This looks so simple! I always hate when my braids get to this stage and don’t know what to do so this so beyond HELPFUL! Thank you!
Anytime!
I was just about to take out my edges and redo them. Girl, I LOVE your videos. Thank you so much!!
Girl 🤦🏾♀️ I needed this video last night before I took my braids out...definitely saving this video for next time
This is the same thing my friend would do just bc careful not over twist, she started ripping out her edges
Hey I do this. But I'm going to see how I like washing with just water next time! I love this tips and tricks.
Wow, I love this! It literally looks like you JUST got your braids done! ❤❤
Thank you so much!!! I always feel like your videos have stuff that no other channel has
I so needed this! Taking some pics for my anniversary this week and I REFUSE to take these twists out yet! Thank youuuu
My hair looks like this after 2 weeks!! I JUST said I need to refresh my front & BOOM you posted a how to video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great idea I actually need to freshen up the braids at the front of my head. Thanks for sharing this
I was just thinking about how my new growth was looking and here comes this video! 😂💗
This came just in time I was wondering how I could stretch my braids
Yes I do the same thing with my braids. Great tip!
Your braids look this good in one month🤯, that's how my braid look in one to two weeks, and with me using a scarf at night.
I'm afraid to do this because my hair is thin and I'm afraid it'll get tangled and break off.
SAME!👍🏼😬
mocha7721 it will, that's why when my edges start to look raggedy I just take them out and have my whole head re-done..That's to much work for me, but she did that..
yall should try knotless box braids its doesnt tug at all and its painless
@@rinaj1604 that's what I asked for, but ended up with box braids. 😕 I'm definitely gonna try knotless after I take these out. It's either that or chop it off!
mocha7721 that’s the same thing that happened to me!! I’ve only had them in a couple weeks so I’ll have them in a little longer. But once theses come out I want some REAL knotless braids🤦🏾♀️
Girl these are my first box braids I've ever had and this video has saved my life
The braids always looks amazing it just be the edges. After sitting for hours of getting box braids I swear I don’t be wanting to take them down. Thanks for sharing. I normally do my locs like this.
Wow they really look new... Great video
I just got mine done but I will CERTAINLY be using this technique to stretch their life!!!
Such a great & life changing way to refresh braids 💕
I’m pretty shook. Those look like freshly done braids. Using this my next cowash day. Gracias!
You are soo innovative 👏🏽 I’ve tried so many of your hacks & they always workout for me ✨
I LOVE IT! Deff gonna do this to the faux locs I have in now. Thanks ☺️
This is so good Im going to re-do my twist toda and I will be using this method. Thank you
I do this with twists ! This method helps a lot to extend a style a few more days
You’re a genius! I was just about to take my month old box braids out and thanks to you I was able to refresh them! THANK YOU GIRL!
Wow 😯 Ive always redone the front to keep it looking fresh. This is an absolute game changer 👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’ve been working out and I can’t imagine wetting my hair but not cleansing with shampoo. I definitely need to try the twisting with gel, especially since I just washed my braids yesterday and the edges look a mess.
definitely using this technique when my braids start to get fuzzy
This was right on time!!! I have some box braids and I will definitely try this.
Perfect timing! I just got braids yesterday 🤗
I’m sooo happy that you did a video on this topic! While working in the corporate world.. certain people 🙄 always asked me “ Do you all wash 🧼 your braids!” Thank you love 😘
This is exactly what I do but I just use edge control instead... I’ve learned (since I don’t braid my own hair) that each braid twists in a different direction, like when you twist them you can feel the tension and if it’s too tight try twisting it in the opposite direction
I just did the same thing with my braids and it saved me from getting frustrated and taking them out
The end result is everything & the fact that you didn't even re-braid your perimeter braids is even better 🙌🏽💯 My edges just don't cooperate with me but I'll definitely try this out when I get my braids again this week - thanks for sharing Love ❤
Your braids look good for a month old
I'm 3 weeks in with my kinky twists and you can barely see my parts
Same here I'm equally three weeks but oh mahn 🤦♀️
By 2 weeks you can’t see my scalp that new growth be serious
@@ambersimone2044 Same here, dense 4chair and I have very tiny little hairs like 0,5cm in my whole head and they escape the braids very quickly
this video came just in time. I was just looking at my braids debating what to do to make them look fresh
Quick and easy touch up. Your braids look fresh again, they're beautiful! 💕💕💕 Tfs 😘
So smart !!! I don’t wear box braids too often but I’m definitely going to try this !
You always have the best tips. I’m going to do this immediately!
My mouth is opened!!! I love this method!!
You always have the best and most useful ideas ever. As a fellow UA-camr I can honestly say I love your content. 🖤🖤🖤
I love it. I have been doing this little by little. And it keeps the dirt from forming underneath on one spot.
🗯️🗯️💣! Short and simple. Thank you for sharing and as always be blessed beautiful.
Thanks for the tips needed to see this to keep my front braids to be neat again!
I just did my braids last night while I was looking at your tutorial on the jumbo braids. So glad you made this video now I can wear them longer then expected 🤗🤗. Thank you for sharing !
Wow! These look like brand new braids 😻
I've had mine on for 2 months now (I enjoy looking at my growth after a long time😂) and they need a touch up this will help so much
This is my favorite trick to refresh my braids and twists!
She is amazing, it's like everything she touches turns to gold👍👍👍
Glad to see someone else using that twist method. Im old school when it comes to holding onto a style
Love this method. I usually take down a row or 2 to re- braid. Thanks
Wow that's amazing! I usually just braid my first two rolls over, but this is a better alternative thanks!
Yes ive been doing braids and dreads like this for years.just like new.good video.❤
What a wonderful go to!! Great Job Sis 👏👏
Girlllll you the truth! Wow they look new again

Shes so cool awesome sweet and smart ... I never thought u would be able to renew ur braids without removing them😄😄thank u so much 'the chick natural ' in literally changing my whole life just to become like you...you my best ROLEMODEL😘
Wowwwwwww😱😱😱 im always there for it! You made me fall in love with crochets bc her videos.
I commend black women for doing all this because my scalp would be dead. They look so beautiful though 😍
SUPER cute! can't wait to try this on my braids!
Quick and easy fix but for me my hair we ould loc up omg I just fixed my edges clipped the front two rows out and refrained them but this would be great for my daughter that has your texture hair
My hair would loc also!😩
SAME! The last time I washed my hair with braids, I had to do a big chop. I basically got dreadlocks.
Never thought about something like this! Woww 👏🏾 definitely trying this thank you so much beautiful! 🥰😍
