I love yarn braids. I keep Mines in for at least 2 months. They hold so much moisture and the growth is bananas! Winter time is the best time 4 these to me. Protection & growth. Love your videos

[@Mk.111]

mz Tremias do you find that your hair growth gets worked up when having the braids in ?

[@mayasfreebird1527]

Just found and subbed to your channel... I've had yarn braids for 4 weeks (rebraiding as I write) and wanted to give you a tip for wash day. I have a few ShamWow towels that I cut in half and use to wring out the braids (I use halves so I can always have a set to use while the other set dries.)The towels are super absorbant and pull the excess water from the braids. Additionally, since they are not heavy or bulky when wet, I take the pieces and wrap/secure them around sections of braids to continue absorbing moisture while I do other stuff. No strained neck-no pain-no dryer!

[@shawnise311]

Thanks

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Excellent! I am so technical and love the fact that your videos answer a lot of the questions before we ask them.

[@20pearlsNcurls]

Your braids are holding up nicely. You did a great job with the install.

[@MsBigbama]

A miracle fiber towel will wick the water from yarn braids incredibly fast and you'll be a lot happier :)

[@latrelltameka1984]

Definitely my next style... you made it easy to follow....

[@user-mz9ok5qe7f]

I know this was 12 years ago but I’m just now finding out about yarn braids and your advice was spot on. I decided to cornrow the yarn in my hair instead and it’s definitely locking in moisture.

[@mzmarsha0123]

I love my yarn braids! What helps with the washing is if you do shampoo&water in a spray bottle and spray and massage your scalp. This creates a good lather and gets your scalp clean. Then section off and rinse just your scalp with the shower head. I did this and it mades my experience so much easier! I love your channel!

[@shawnise311]

U did a great job for ur first time! They look really natural!

[@LesDesign]

You r too funny. I love ur reenactment of washing ur braids. Reminds me of when I had braids a while ago. I'm trying to hang in there on this protective styling thing but it's so difficult. Thanks for the laugh, you never know who's day ur making better :)

[@LuluMiller]

"I stole it while they were on vacation." Lol

[@ConnectedToMeNow]

You look Absolutely Beautiful in the Opening photograph with them fork looking things, That Gaze and Stare is Breathtaking!!!

[@GLOSSYWINE]

Well I'm sure it's like washing a sweater and wrapping it around your head.. It's gonna be HEAVY when wet! So I can def understand that.. They do still look like the first day you did them so I don't know what you're saying about you not knowing what you're doing! Awesome vid as always. You're very informative and we appreciate it!

[@KumakoXsd]

What you like about yarn braids I like too. What you don't like, I don't like too LOL. It's the perfect style but one thing I hate, hate, HATE so much about it is washing and then drying. Drying takes FOREVER. So I always wash in the afternoon so it can fully air dry.

[@creating1_c1999]

I love that pink shirt! wow...it's been that long? Your braids look fabulous...still!

[@solotaken]

Everything he saying in this video is so true.... I had did yarn braids for the first time ever like 4 months ago i only left them in for 4 weeks but im putting some back in my head this weekend they are going to be black and pink instead of just black like last time

[@nappyscribe1987]

I don't see any difference between your braiding and an "experts" braids. Your work is very neat. I wish you would've shown how you take them out. Like you said, your hair held well, your hair looks as fresh as it did when you demo'd the braiding technique. Could pass for the next day photo. I really like them.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

I can't recall but I think I may have a takedown video as well on my channel

[@asiamarie0816]

even with your new growth they still look great

[@mimithomas69]

Durning these cold days the yarn braids have come in handy for that extra warmth and added protection from the harsh air. I did mines much thicker and the same length as your next go around I wanna do the inspired by solange length. There head turners and I like it ppl try and figure it out 👀😱👍

[@JamCanGurl]

I need to get up the nerve to put some kinky twist in myself. Went to get the hair last week and they didn't have the right thing. I was kinda glad though. It's so time consuming. I had some put in last year but the lady was so rough I'm afraid to go back. Your braids still look good after a month. Good job.

[@MarshaPierceTomlin]

Your yarn braids look great. Thanks for this style review.

[@beautifuldancingdeity1562]

They look so good😍💋😘👏👏

[@tiphanisworld3211]

you are dope......lol at how you described the water still being in your yarn

[@artqueen5835]

[@tishagonzales.7824]

Wow that is such a fast and easy way to do yarn braids, love it!. I want to get yarn braids to, I had damage my hair really bad to where my hair sent from my lower nakc to like my neck and it make me really self conscious, to go out in public, so I figured this would be the best, but on the other hand I'm also worried because I'm not black, I'm Mexican and I no that when Mexicans has a a black hair style they usually make jokes and and talk shit , So I want to no everyones opinion on what u think of Mexican girls with box braid

[@tinkatink6817]

TiSha Gonzales. Girl it is your head and decision. If that's what you are wanting. Don't let someone's opinion or lame/rude comments or words make you feel some type of way about anything you do yourself.

[@tinkatink6817]

I say go for it

[@konekostone]

If I can eat mexican food you can do yarn braids. There's nothing wrong with appreciating another culture's hairstyles or dress as long as its not offending God. Some people claim to be mature but don't realize they have a childlike mentality. Of the world spent more time working on controlling themselves instead of others we would be happier.

[@paulm83j]

Thanks for sharing!!! I also prefer kinky twists.

[@darealniecyrite]

did u get anyone asking if they were dreads? I just wanna do yarn braids to trick people into thinking i have dreads.

[@loridelisa]

I was sold till you told me about washing them bad boys. Lol

[@allnaturalherbs]

You say your not an expert braider, but they look like an expert did them, fiqure that one out.

[@nappyscribe1987]

all natural herbs Same thing I told him!

[@gbutt30]

I know I also perfer Kinky Twist . Have you ever used Keracare Natural products? I seen a few people use it but, i always admire your honesty about products. Hell I'm on a budget!!!!

[@nae0420nae]

I love yarn braids...the take down is the worse tho. I hope u have patience. Keep out my channel I have a bunch of stuff on yarn braids...styles included!

[@TianaSunshine]

Another vid I loved. Maybe you can do a sockbun style when you take out your braids

[@nothingbutthebest513]

I love your braids, I'm here because of a recommendation from mohganyknots.

[@deedeesnicks]

maybe it the way you did them but i prefer the yarnbraids over the kinky twist....but if they making you uncomfortable and they are snagging on everything,and taking longer to do then i would so stick with the simple kinky twist too....but i love those yarnbraids...

[@sharnece17]

That is why yarn braids are like dreadlocks because you have to go through the same nonsense with dreads lol! Especially when they get that long. That is why when you have dreads it is good to have a hair dryer to keep from mold from appearing in your locs from having it stay wet for so long. You shouldve look at some dreadlock haircare videos to know what was to be expected.

[@Pigloot]

Girl, they use to slip be all out on the classroom floor. Just slip ugh a head ache and putting back in carrying a lighter in your pocket for that front one ugh... I love/hated them fucking yarn twists.

[@TriinaG]

Have you tried using the "dry" Shampoo? I can't remember if you have or not....it would be cool to see your results especially with your braids ^_^

[@ConstanceVolturi]

I'm a white woman, and I'm gonna get the braids this weekend! I hope you did yours.

[@locsnatwist]

i live in florida so when i washed my hair i would just go outside on my deck and sit in the sun and it would dry up withing the hour. what wasn't dry i would go and blow dry

[@TheLolzatyourfacemoo]

My hair is just like yours in the back, it slips faster because it grows faster. Haha, quick question, do you have a looser curl pattern on the back of your hair?

[@ludek59]

Hello, these braids look fucking amazing man! btw, im a white guy and im wondering if such a hair style would look good on me? perhaps u've seen white men with these braids before, if so how did it look? peace out.

[@bookiegreen5450]

Shoot, i need to come to your house so you can do yarn braids on me lol

[@rockygirl8943]

Yarn braids grow hair faster?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Rockygirl no. Styles don't grow your hair faster.

[@simone-sm7gb]

how long can you keep them in for?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

simone I don't recommend past 6 weeks. At that point you risk damaging your hair.

[@simone-sm7gb]

okay thank you! i love this look

[@everythingunderthesun777]

simone you can keep yarn in your hair for a long time you can even lock your hair with yarn

[@lasheavibez]

Your so cute. I wish you could do my hair.

[@alauxus34]

Lol @africanhairgod I had that same experience with washing my hair with the yarn braids in and i couldnt get all the water out either i did the same exact thing you did.

[@msdrina007]

omg will never do yarn again, too heavy and took the front of my hair out! My sister's hairline snapped out too and she has locs!

[@kay-ty5rx]

are the spaces supposed to be showing? i just want to make sure i do em as best as i can

[@bing8D]

wats those litle white dots? best regaurds

[@dantecooper6986]

whats the white dots?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

You must be referring to my hair peaking thru the yarn. No one's hair exactly resembles the yarn which is why I don't really care for this style anymore

[@dantecooper6986]

+AfrikanHairGod is this style the closest to dreads -Look-A-Like? they're nice

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Dante Cooper that's relative to your opinion.... there is nothing like the real thing in my opinion... also if you plan on loc'n your hair please don't resort to loc extensions... they never work out in the end.

[@30danderson]

thats the difference between where his hair ends and the yarn
