I literally cannot braid for anything so I needed this!!

[@TheKrust182]

I can’t do my own hair at all especially braids, so I’ll definitely give this a try! Thank you ☺️🥰

[@nikkiajoy]

I can’t do braids either! Discovering how to do this has been the best thing ever!🙏🏼🥰

[@shaynaleann1054]

Love this! I have no hair talent at all! Ponytail is the extent lol. Your hair is gorgeous 😍

[@nikkiajoy]

That’s why this style is so good! It looks like you know what you’re doing but it’s soooo easy haha🙊🙌🏼😂

[@L0rkisha]

I also have thick and long hair so quick and easy hairstyles are just what I need!! Thank you for sharing! You really spoil us lots! Please keep sharing more hairstyle videos!

[@joannamarie_]

I already know how to French and Dutch braid my hair, but I still wanted to try it! It gives so much more volume than a traditional braid! Thank you 😍

[@TheKaykayshorty09]

I love that I'm definitely gonna have to try the half up half down one for sure!

[@SandyG1966]

This is genious!! Thank you, I have very long, thick and curly hair, have also tried so many times to braid my hair getting all tangled up and ultimately giving up LOL, this is a fantastic trick, love it!!

[@anb3362]

Love this look!! So simple and beautiful! Thank you for sharing 😊 Also, the color dimension in your hair suits you so well. Loving the lighter colors on your skin. Stay safe! 💞

[@nikkiajoy]

Thank you so much Ashley🙏🏼🥰I’ll be going back soon for the next round of foils. It’s been nice having it a bit lighter🥰🥰🥰

[@trinakaerenfroe6749]

I am so excited to try this Nikkia! I love french braids. I just haven't ever been able to master it. Only regular braids.

[@ericaramirez3599]

Nikkia, you are such a life saver. I have really long thick hair and literally can't braid. I have always admired you hair when it's braided but now I see your trick lol. Thanks for sharing. 💜💜💜💜

[@reneemcdonald9597]

OMG! Loving the caramel high lights!! Looks so nice!! 😍 Also I still have my GHD straightener that my mum bought me when I was 16. I’m now 29 and it still works amazingly. I rarely use it anymore but I was using it daily for years and years!!! $300 for a straightener was a lot of money but when it lasts over 10+ years of daily use it’s incredible!

[@backstage6681]

I’m so excited to try this today! I’ve always wished I could braid my own hair:) woohoo-thank you!

[@keelybrown9842]

You are so beautiful ❤️ I cannot wait to try this on my hair. Thanks Nikkia 🌻❤️

[@janetcarey6954]

Definitely sharing this my nieces who all have long hair! Beautiful!

[@dayanarodriguez4512]

Thanks Nikkia... I love this... can't wait to try it! 😚

[@jann3443]

Love the braids on you. I'm sure it's cool in the summer too.

[@delilahpearce5992]

Beautiful 🤩 wow I never would have thought that it was only taken in sections loped through each piece and not braided truly genius!!!!

[@melanibarry8677]

I LOVE this. Im going to do it today. I have layered hair, so normal braids just dont stay in. But this one will as they're tied. Thank u for sharing ❤❤

[@lavinehanna9915]

My short layers bother me so much when I braid my hair they just fall out and it just looks weird!

[@bekiboo710]

I use to do this to my sisters hair 20yrs ago. Love it 🖤

[@noiseyh716]

Looove it and just did it... Thank you so much.. Yesss yessss we want more

[@michaelaposoldova8125]

OMG, I've been waiting for this hairdo tutorial! Thank you, Nikkia! 🥰

You are so welcome!🥰It's so unbelievably easy!!!🥰🙏🏼

[@jadeoehm2876]

Love love love just need my hair to grow a lil. You look amazing 🤩 thank you 🙏

[@tamaramorton8812]

I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing it. I like the tip about straightening it before you try to braid. I think that’s going to make a big difference.

[@amylove1502]

This is amazing thank you I will definitely be trying this 😍

[@carmendoherty4955]

Wow glad I saw this . Can never do braids but love the look!. Will try it todayx

[@natashadb553]

[@thechevygirl]

This is pure genius 🥰🙏🏻👍🏻

[@everyhaircolor3190]

Ooohh so cool hairstyle

[@Himynameisstrawberey]

Such a good hair style i did it easily❤❤

[@moniqueorgan2198]

That is so cool !

[@teresamusolino3021]

Hi Nikkia watched your channel for years great job , as a fellow gal with thick long hair I feel your pain, what I usually do is after a blow dry I use my paddle brush and straightener together while I’m straightening my hair cuts the time down even further rather than having to section it off xx

[@Kay-hz4ss]

Love the hair what do you put on your hair to have long length any suggestions also you do wicked hair styles

[@sandyg4801]

genius! i love braiding my hair into this style but can never get a perfect braid. thanks for sharing!

[@jennagage5148]

Nikkis, this is the ultimate life hack of 2021!!!! ❤️ Can’t wait to try tomorrow!!!!!

[@evehsv5556]

This will work for me thanks Nikkia.

[@MasqueTheRedDeathDJ]

@@nikkiajoy I just did it there and it doesssss! 😍❤️✨

[@sinnsage]

will this work for ppl with very thin hair?

[@katiwang]

What a genius idea

[@tatjanaseemann3734]

Love it😍

[@Bluebutterfly442]

So cute!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nikkiajoy]

Thank you🙈🥰

[@SquishyGamers25]

I'm in shock because your hair is the exact same length and texture as mine! I have extremely thick hair and it's quite long and hard to maintain. This tutorial was great, so thanks😃🙌

[@michellek6311]

Your hair is gorgeous!

[@nikkiajoy]

Thanks so much Michelle🥰🥰

[@destinyrae211]

When u said “fake hair” thought it was actually fake haha. Like a wig,... should’ve said “technique for more volume braids” or something haha.

[@Claudia-ov2ln]

I thought the exact same thing. I was waiting for some hair piece to be added to the braid lol

[@hotmahma]

Lol she didnt know the definition of extension hair. Thats laughable in this womans world

[@mariadayala89]

Same I was fake like clip on lol

[@kimk8869]

@Nikkia Joy omg you replied back! You made my day! 🤗

[@l.c.8798]

That flatiron looks amazing tbh, my hair is so hard to straighten! 😫

[@nikkiajoy]

It’s so freakishly fast to use! And it leaves my hair so shiny🙌🏼🥰

[@lindadee6603]

Its lovely Nikkia :-)) You have good hair oxoxo

[@khissu.]

I think this is also great for thin hair if you do just one going from the middle.

[@juelclyne7392]

Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊 Nikkia

[@michellevaughan9131]

I wud av never known they wernt actual braids, cool, I can do french braids but I can never get them to go from the front to the back its hard to reach the back of my head with both hands I dunno its tricky. I will try this, thanks for sharing x

[@DaiTwice]

Finally I can wear my hair like this! I braid my daughters but can't my own ❤❤

[@shainaannx17]

OMG NIKKIA! HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN THIS TRICK!?! I cannot braid in Dutch or in general (besides I low braid or from a ponytail) to save my dang life. You have just changed 2021 for me. Thank you haha 😂❤ #dramaticbutnotsorry ps I love your hair. It's beautiful!

[@blacksky2444]

✨🌻✨ thank you ☺️

[@nikkiajoy]

You’re so welcome!🥰

[@kalanahudgins1805]

I have serious hair envy! My hair is incredibly fine and thin, unfortunately. But my daughter has beautiful, long, thick, dark hair like yours, so I'll try this on her! I have done a similar style with her hair, only not two braids, just one from the top middle on down. They call it a faux-hawk. That would look great on you, too!

[@anakaramos986]

My hair is waaay shorter than yours but I’m still gonna try this ! Thank you Nikkia!

[@luvablechelsey]

I just do what i call a french twist so much easier and no little elastics to rip your hair out

[@Aditi_Sarker]

You are soooooo pretty 🙆🏻‍♀️💖🙆🏻‍♀️

[@nikkiajoy]

Aww thank you🙈you’re too kind!🥰

[@leighmccabe]

Hi Nikkia - have you had any hair damage with those tiny hair elastics? Every time I use those, I feel like a good chunk of hair comes out with the elastic? Love the braid hack, I really want to give this a try but hesitant with those elastics

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I cut mine out instead of reusing since those rubber bands definitely make my hair fall out too. Yes it's a waste but would rather keep my hair lol
