[@allofdestiny]

very much giving wifey vibes. have you ever braided your own hair?

[@tracienotstacie7577]

I tried the rubberband crochet method...I ended up picking up braids off the floor all night . I tried to do my own faux bun and it fell off the next day. Unless it's a wig or drawstring ponytail, hair isn't my strong suit.

[@lydiachapman8076]

Yes

[@KrissyExplores]

Yessss all the time... I do my own hair 🙌🏽 you did great!!

[@philaneenfun]

I tried and failed miserably i don’t have the patience i just budget in braids and hair 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Willeneful]

Yes

[@KrissyExplores]

[@jennyrieras431]

I love the message behind the video Destiny. It’s so easy for someone to sit behind a keyboard & troll a video but it’s not always easy to learn a new skill & not everyone has the means to go “go get it done”. And I this came out great sis!

[@krystalmatthews9885]

Love how you keep trying and don't let the naysayers stop you. Your hair turned out beautiful. I braided my own hair recently and no it ain't perfect, but it's done and it's neat. I'm going to keep trying until I get it right.

[@allofdestiny]

Yesss thank you so much. We gonna keep at it because we are not quitters💯🤎. Rock dem braids girl

[@abdulmanguera]

Destiny i know that this might not be my place but here is a tip: so when you are feeding in your knot-less braids at the roots you should start by adding little pieces and then those pieces will get bigger. But if you don't want to to my advice that is OK.

[@jessicafoster5149]

I always pre-part my hair, like you said the parting is what takes time once the hair is parted it’s a breeze! I’ve been braiding my own hair since 2013 my jr year of college when I couldn’t get someone to do it for me

[@allofdestiny]

2013‼Owww you got skills. I love that so much. 🙌🏽🙏🏾

[@meredithfoster644]

Sis, you threw in a meaningful message and I wasn’t expecting that in the midst of a hair video but I must say. I LOVED AND APPRECIATED IT!👏🏽❤️

[@daynabledsoe1145]

Right

[@nickiminaj69]

I love when you do braids. I wish I had the patience and the skill to be as good as you Destiny.

[@allofdestiny]

You can do it. Just keep at it. I feel like we get better than the previous attempt with each new style🤎

[@kettascoils8205]

“My sister cooked me breakfast”= motherly 😍. Destiny cooks too for them both, too, though..... I love this family 😍😍😍😍

[@BelCedilia]

[@meyonnie.5771]

When you said " I won't compare myself to Noone because I don't like to do that " I felt that sis!!!

[@Iam.AshNicole_]

Let me say this back in 2017 I was battling depression sooo bad and it was WINNING!!! And it was taking a toll on my hair because I didn’t have any energy to do my hair. I wanted my hair braided into Box Braids I didn’t have that $180/$220 either sooo I taught myself how to braid my OWN hair. Babbiii when I tell you after the 3rd time I got them looking like I paid that money!!! The African Shop I was going too the owner who I love dearly... Told me she’d give me tips on braiding so it wouldn’t hurt my hand because she wanted and needed for me to come work for her!!! She was that impressed ✨✨❤️❤️❤️✨✨ i Shoot I was too... but depression was still winning so for 3 in a half years I kept my hair in braids with 2wks to a month in a half break in between each new set of braids!!! Thee amount of growth and strength my hair did during that time and KICKING DEPRESSIONS BUTT 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Praise God that was thee end of my hair testimony lol Your hair turned out beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@jasminewilliams1298]

Destiny girl you are so inspiring no matter if it it’s doing your own nails, makeup, your hair everything comes out flawless and they look so professional💕

[@brithevirgo]

Ok we got unapologetic Destiny and more motherly than Dominique Lashaé Destiny in a video I love it here😂😍

[@allofdestiny]

lol yess. period Bri !! forever giving unapologetic vibes. whoever don't like it can move around.

[@virgoscorner]

Hey Virgo Sis ♍🤪🤩

[@chaseabageav6511]

Girl please do a video on how you feel about turning 30

[@tanishiahicks]

Your natural hair is just growing so much. Love the braids they are so cute you did a really good job!!

[@karenf.7481]

You did a good job . I went to get mine and my daughters done because i am pregnant and did not want deal with the drama . It cost me 300 dollars. You did that .

[@danielle0899]

i think with a little more practice, your braids won't look as lumpy. you'll get better over time. practice makes perfect.

[@Nique732]

Yup I think her problem is she makes the braids too tight so its lumpy not a smooth braid down

[@khadejahgray]

Yes she just has to loosen her grip while braiding down

[@tracienotstacie7577]

They turned out beautifully! I need to learn how to step my hair game up!

[@lydiachapman8076]

I just did my own box braids and I learned a lot from your video

[@allofdestiny]

wow really i'm so happy to hear that

[@Chanterryka]

Your right the more you practice things the easier it becomes

[@MistyL82]

Braids look so good!! The way I hollered when you said " how much hair did I use? " & "when you regret exchanging numbers with him"😂😂😂😂 Girrrlll you are tooo funny!!

[@LexyzMom23]

[@amberyantonioflores2295]

Well, Destiny I support you!!!! I am a white lady with Stick Straight hair. I will never beable to wear these braids. But I watched the whole thing becuase I love your videos and your whole vibe! My 2 yr old loves you too. We watch together. "this much luv!" Lol

[@BelCedilia]

They look so pretty! 🥰 Practice dose make perfect . I'm still trying to learn that. Trying to shake off the voices in my head saying I can't do it.

[@allofdestiny]

shake it off. only person that can stop you is YOU. don't get in your own way.

[@totallymicka]

I have been watching a lot of videos to catch this knotless braid and by far...you gave the best close up view of what to do. I told my sis the same thing I am going to practice until I get all these braiding techniques down. Thanks a million.

[@danaslifejourneygathers3879]

Awesome braids. Don't let anyone discourage you. Keep it girl ❤

[@ssimp211]

This was so me when I did mine last week. Now she got me ready to do my hair again! 🤷🏽‍♀️😬

[@ashleyhill6830]

Let them talk the ones that ain’t got nothing positive to say probably bald headed, you’re very talented destiny I wish I could braid my own hair you wouldn’t be able to tell me nothing

[@allofdestiny]

Flips braids 🤸🏾‍♀️

[@tash8339]

Thats a cute hair do. In order to let your braids less scratchy and get it even more flowing you let the hot water run down the braids. So you sit on a chair or bend over your sink, throw the water from the top, avoiding your scalp and let the water run down the braids.

[@TaePreciosa]

Pretty! Shine 'N' Jam works good for braids. Smooths hair good.

[@allofdestiny]

Yesss it works soo good idk how I forgot to buy that also. 🙏🏾

[@TaePreciosa]

@@allofdestiny yes I used on my hair other day doing box braids for first time and they came out good for my 1st try. The shine 'n' jam made it easier. I used the one with orange lid. God bless you!❤🤗
