Thank u for adding the last part. Its nice to know anybody can make mistakes. Great tutorial and I'm a new subie.

Tip for ladies who can’t add hair as they go for the loose look: Simply take a crochet hook and pull yr human pieces through the braid and knot it a few times don’t make large crazy knots 💯👌🏾

[@Dr.Nellah]

I was literally about to ask this like can't I just crotchet the hair in

[@Nocturnal.Sunshine]

I've been braiding micros and more with synthetic hair for 20 years...great tip I was taught years ago was to use oil sheen or a moisturizer like care free curl (don't drench it) and if the client combs it out daily, and ties hair up it will last!.... same applies to synthetic wefts and wigs!! It works! I made a killing in college doing micros w toyokalon hair cuz we were broke!

[@deb8911]

I’m so glad to hear that you care about ppl spending their coin! That’s awesome and honest!!!!! I feel like a lot of stylists try to get over on folks and it’s sad! I’m so glad there are honest stylists around that make sure your info is accurate for the sake of everyone’s pockets!

[@amanii97]

Deb I wish I would’ve seen this video before, this girl in Oakland charged 250 (without hair in included) for this exact style used freetress synthetic curl in my hair and the shit didn’t even last that long! I was so mad!

[@okydokes]

@@amanii97 250 with NO hair?!??? No ma'am

[@lakitagilbert1846]

I use freetress for all my clients it last for 2 months if you put hair mousse on the curly hair every 2 days it will be perfectly fine.. I do it on myself and never have an issue just have to take care of it.

[@Angel-td9yk]

IF YOU USED SYNTHETIC HAIR, when you start to experience the naps, brush the hair out and you can re-curl it with hot water and perm rods/flexi rods/whatever method (Similar to what happened @ 11:30 ) its obviously gonna be an extra step to re-curl them every other week but thats the price you pay on a budget LOOL!

[@Goldie2604]

Laika I feel like mine is already nappy (from yesterday)...so you’re telling me if I go through rodding and dipping, it’ll bounce back🤨

[@kierrarichardson80]

@@Goldie2604 it should yeah. It's like dipping your braid ends into hot water

[@abanhyira]

You are a lifesaver!!!!

[@yolandawestbrook3131]

I always re-dip my braids with hair conditioner in the water. Cuz it remelts the hair tight her, taming frizz and the conditioner helps add back some shine.

[@Kyshalise]

YolieRose you redip the synthetic curly hair at the end with conditioner water?

[@BraidsByChinia]

Hi, I hope that this is helpful but I did my entire head with box braids & after dipping my ends, I went back & randomly crochet the water wave hair into the box braid!

[@YoshiSpeaksTruth]

Oh that's a good idea! I'm gonna have to give that a try!

[@Dopeaxxxpana]

Good idea, but idk how that would work with human hair it’s really slippery so it wouldn’t hold in a crochet knot, or did you do this with synthetic like regular crochet hair ?

[@dee5starchick]

@@Dopeaxxxpana It would work with human hair too, just crochet the hair in the same direction of the braids...wish I could show U a pic..

[@ChelsGee312]

Thank you for the freetress nogo! I did boho faux locs and the hair was terrribbblyyy nappy the next week and I was like WTF. SO THANK YOU! no other tutorial has told that truth !

[@lee_lee7659]

Good tutorial.....great advice. I know first hand about the hair not lasting long when using crochet hair at the ends. But I also found it helpful if someone still want to use crochet hair, depending on the curl pattern to just add mousse or Hawaiian silky spray and put the hair in big twist at the ends to preserve the curl pattern and prevent the hair from matting and using a silk bonnet.....

[@shanmitch4654]

That was the cutest thing ever. The little girl already is headed towards a great future by following you. Thanks for the tips as always.

[@SlimShaedyAlston]

I'm glad you said this. I got some of that hair a while ago when I first tried the faux locs with the curly ends and I just ended up doing faux locs because the hair was so bad. I had issues untangling the hair to even use it. Thanks for keeping it honest! 😙

[@MizzShawdyPink]

As a fellow braider, I love your work. I started at 7 so little Youvia, you’re never too young to start. I don’t ever film myself because braiding in itself takes time but you are achieving big things and gaining clients by sharing I’m sure.. I kinda want to video my next client!! You’re tips and errors have helped me. Keep it up. ♥️

[@glossgoddess5872]

This is so pretty!!! I’m doing my own hair now but unfortunately I’m using freetress 😩 I don’t mind it tho because I don’t keep styles in more than 2 weeks (the pro of doing your own hair) Quick tip: if you can’t feed in the wavy/curl hair just simply start the braid using the wavy/curly hair and pull some out in certain spots as you go 🥰 THANK YOU FOR SHARING #NewSubbie

[@pandoraadore8500]

I remember doing this style in H.S. but I did the goddess braids (individuals) because I didn’t have money like that to go to the hair salon every two wks and I loved Moesha lol... The trick to get the boho look was girls would wait till the individuals/braids got old and we would braid or roll up the loose ends and dip them in hot water. After you let the loose ends dry you unravel them and you was left with an wavy/curl hair pattern. We did this as way to freshen up the braids and make them last longer.

[@deniseharvey5038]

Girl we did this all the time!!

[@Sundeicolors]

Yep Exactly! 😁

[@unlimitedbeauty3693]

I like that. Thank you so much for this video. You are right. I used the model model hair & few weeks later, it did not look good.

[@seciliejones3794]

When Bondz did Natural Neiceyy's she used Expressions and just braided the braids together to get them wavy. It was cute. The video is on Neiceyy's page!

[@ihateyouall7026]

yeah i saw that too! i think i’m going to try both methods together bc i want a really messy look

[@megganspoeticalbreeze1266]

What I'm going to do is not add the wavy hair till after I dip the braids...I think adding it after you dip will definitely protect the curl pattern... By the way you totally FREAKING SLAYED THOSE BRAIDS... HECK THE WHOLE STYLE PERIODTTT ‼️

[@zeeofficial5037]

if you don’t like the stiffness of the hair, next time just try using a real wet hot towel and go over the top to get the little flyaways and stuff ! i love this tutorial!!! def trying this weekend !!

U can use freetress you just use sta soft fro curl spray to revive it or for human you could have did a hot water roller set. Also a hot water set with freetress.

[@carlaleggs2955]

You're so right!! She Is the cutest thing ❤ thanks for sharing ☺ Thanks for the tip about using human hair instead of synthetic fibers

[@ennyennymrsc]

Thanks for the beautiful install and honest opinions 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Do not use freetress hair 😂😂😂😂 even if you want to use synthetic hair use a wavy texture from a good brand. I’ve done both ways and I know those thick synthetic curls on the ends are not the best but sometimes you just can’t convince some clients.You tell them to bring one thing and some bring the cheapest “similar” stuff they find at the beauty supply and expect you to become a magician.......

[@VanessaBellaBeauty]

This is cuuuuute!! Beautycanbraid posted a video with some synthetic hair that you can put heat on. It might be a less expensive hair to use for the curly part.

LISTEN. You are me when it comes to watching videos and wondering why they weren't dipping the hair in the water theory. I really was wondering why they didn't dip the ends because them braids would be stiff. But seeing you do this, I understand why now. I'm guessing another way would be doing the braids normally, dipping them in hot water and then adding in the curly hair afterwards? This style was gorgeous and I can't wait for the next one.

[@natalyakeefer9221]
