Braids Using Human Hair

[@ravenashleyd]

I love the way you say hair . Accent is so cute ! Thanks for the detailed tutorial

[@MieshaMarie]

lol thank you! And you’re welcome!

[@ToriBLyons]

Girl! I know EXACTLY what you talking about when you said you want like 3 hairstyles at one time!!! I was like ME TOO the whole time watching this video lol

[@MieshaMarie]

lol and Im still not satisfied! Now, I want a real sew-in or a wig... idk lol. im still rocking these braids tho

[@organicniki6]

This looks beautiful! Human hair is an investment because you can reuse the hair. Great job!

[@MieshaMarie]

Yes Thank you!

[@tanishiabeacham4544]

The $77.99 to be exact - I felt that sis 🤣

[@AfroTae]

I used to love wet n wavy boxbraids I think it would be cute with wet n wavy human hair!

[@MieshaMarie]

I think so too. I wish I could find wazy human hair that was long enough that I didn't have to wear the synthetic hair.....and not too expensive

[@bridgetenglish3334]

You did a great job it's looks very professional.

[@MieshaMarie]

Thank you

[@SimplyMee..228]

So I’m 42, and back in the day when I was a kid in the 90s, we used either synthetic or human hair for braids. I searched human hair box braids and this popped up along with a few other videos… I home they make this a thing again.

[@MieshaMarie]

I remember people using human hair only for micro braids but nobody hardly ever get them anymore bc nobody wanna do them lol

[@keyontayhumphries1710]

Thanks so much for telling us about finishing with a knot. I wondered how to keep the hair from slipping out

[@MieshaMarie]

You are so welcome!

[@AtreyaJonea]

They look soooooooo good, I leave my braids for 3 months as well.

[@MieshaMarie]

Thank you!! A lot of people think 3 months is too long, but I put in too much time and effort to be taking braids down after a month lol

[@brittneyjohnson8942]

@@MieshaMarie i agree lol !! My thing is that my edges look a mess after a month so i just redo that part and that’s it lol . Do u have a video of how to part?

Your braids are gorgeous and very neat. You are very talented. I'm glad to have found someone with long hair do this type of style. Since I want braids with human hair but my real hair is around mid back. Thanks for the video. ❤

[@MieshaMarie]

Yea you really have to improvise based on your hair length and type with all of these styles. Make them work for you. Thank you!

[@ladyofwisdom2]

@@MieshaMarie You're very welcome, queen. I definitely agree that making it work based of our own hair works best. Thanks for the great video. ❤

[@lafleurbleue8936]

3 hairstyles in 1, that's exactly why I want to do it with human hair too. To have a more sew in look I think you could have left pieces of human hair out along the braid kinda like goddess braids

[@MieshaMarie]

Thats a good idea. I might have to try that. Thank you!

[@CuTTeNiNi]

Beautiful!! I seriously wish I could have watched your video a day earlier. I tried attaching human ends to my box braids and it looks small and blotchy and thin at the insertion smh. I can't take it bc I spent 4 days on doing it myself for the first time. But I love the fullness you have. Imma strive for that next time (if I ever do my own hair again 😅)

[@MieshaMarie]

Its ok. It takes practice. It'll be perfect next time.

[@sherryricks7356]

Your hair looks GREAT!! I Love It!!! ❤️ Excellent work!

[@MieshaMarie]

Thank you so much!!

[@lisaflores3583]

Thank you for this video. I have had sooo many braiding hairstyles before and i agreed with everything you said. For me, I want the kenekolon synthetic hair looking braids with the natural wavy ends from human hair to make it look like a sow-in. The wave isn’t the same with synthetic hair. And i still want a protective style and not have to worry about a leave out from a sow- in. You also can’t get human hair more than 18 inches so this also helps with being able to get a good long length. Im Also going to JA and i want to Able yo get my hair wet lol This video was perfect and exactly what i was looking for. Your hair came out beautiful !

[@MieshaMarie]

Thank you! I’m glad it helped you. I hope you achieve the style you’re looking for. Enjoy your trip🙂

[@cheresebryant9507]

How do I seal the human hair so it doesn’t slip out. Also can you see where the hair texture changes? Love this video

[@MieshaMarie]

A knot or a dot of super glue. Sometimes you can see the difference depending on how soon you add the hair

[@erikalattimore0730]

Yes that hair is pricey! It looks so neat and uniform. Great tutorial/tips, Miesha. 3 months? (we doubt it) 🤭 TY! 🤗

[@MieshaMarie]

thank you!.and yes I do leave my braids in for 3 months lol typically..the last time the hair sucked so it didn’t last

Thank you!!

[@divineatmospheresllc6016]

You could achieve even more of a two-in-one by doing the tree-braid method~ adding human hair earlier & leaving the human hair extensions out as you braid down~ 🤗❤ You did an excellent job! 🌠 #TheyreGorgeous😍

[@MieshaMarie]

Thank you!! Yes I know… that’s more popular now and it makes more sense when trying to get a fuller look. If I do this style again I’d definitely do it that way

[@MISSLOVELY_REE]

Sis you are awesome with doing your own braids they always look bomb unfortunately me have to go to the shop for braids❤💯

[@MieshaMarie]

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate that

[@ashleynicole9423]

Did you cut the kanekalon hair to be the length of your real hair? This idea is genius btw…so innovative! don’t know if I can find anyone to do this lol.

[@MieshaMarie]

No I didn’t cut it. Thank you!

I wished I live near you. I am in New York. I paid $160 for box braids and she put this synthetic hair in my head and I am itching like crazy all night long , my Mother’s Day is going to be messed up.

[@MieshaMarie]

I'm sorry to hear that. Its hard to find a braider you can trust that wont break your pockets...I know

[@novalisa2689]

Perfection!

[@terrylove1820]

Hi. Loved your video. I have natural hair and can't seem to do anything with it. I want to put braids in but not rot familiar with braiding hair. I tried using the synthetic hair which irritated my scalp really bad. I was thinking about using Human Hair instead. Do you have any suggestions on which type of Human Hair I can use. Thank you

[@MieshaMarie]

I don't use it a lot so I wouldn't know what kind to tell you to use. Most people use human hair for micro/smaller braids though if that's all you'll be using. Braiding with human hair is a bit tricky though bc it's a lot silkier than synthetic hair. good luck on which ever brand you decide to use.

[@4uriiwrld]

I love them❤️✨💞

Wow!! I need these💚💚💚

[@BiiGgMeaTt09]

[@moccastarlove9111]

I wish I can find that hair. The website doesn’t have the wet and wavy at all

[@MieshaMarie]

I just did a girls hair similar to this and she bought human hair on a track. I just cut the track off and used that hair

[@janellestuart4269]

Thanks for sharing the positive of having knot less braids and human hair. I like 👍 the ends. Do you have to tie a knot on the end? Would it work to do hot water method?

[@MieshaMarie]

I did tie a knot at the ends but if I had to do it again I would use a dot of nail glue to secure it. You don't have to use hot water on the ends. it's wet and wave so water or conditioner will do just fine

[@cynthiajohnson2956]

What length is the Janet Collection hair you are using?

[@MieshaMarie]

It was about 10 inches. It wasn’t long at all

[@salikkahall6063]

The braids look amazing, are these knotless? Or just box braids?

[@MieshaMarie]

Thank you. They're just box braids

[@candicejohnson9605]

Do you remember the length of your human hair?

[@MieshaMarie]

I think it was 10 inches

[@sassymoi4829]

You didn’t explain how to keep the human hair from unraveling. Did you glue the ends where it’s loose? Or did you just leave them and hope the human hair doesn’t come out?

[@latoyacunningham5319]

I believe she said she tied it in a knot.

[@MieshaMarie]

right. I tied a doubled knot

[@shepours-inc]

how's the maintenance on the hair? how long did it last?

[@MieshaMarie]

The curly hair started falling out after a while like 3 weeks. I will use glue next time. So when they started I just wrote it in a bun.

[@tonnettjames1129]

👍

[@nikikijackson827]

What made you start with the expression hair than end the human hair . BTW your hair is gorgeous 😍

[@MieshaMarie]

The expressions hair has more texture and allowed for a better grip when braiding it with my own hair. I know I can't get the same look if I had started to that soft silky human hair. I ended with the human hair because it allowed the wet and wavy look that synthetic hair can't give. I've seen people braid and dip synthetic hair to give it waves but it's not the same

[@nikikijackson827]

I think the next time I do this I'll try a dot of super glue. I've heard of people using that to help with unraveling.

Gorgeous results, I want to do my hair exactly like this. how long did you end up keeping the braids in? did the human hair on the ends last? thanks for sharing, I just subscribed!

[@MieshaMarie]

Im sorry for late reply. I think I kept these in for 2 months. Next time I will use a hair glue because a few of the human hair pieces started slipping out.

Waste of 140 bucks just braid ur ends with the fake hair and dip in hot water u get the same look

[@MieshaMarie]

If you watch the video you'd see the part where I said I wanted to curl it myself. You can't add heat to fake hair. It will melt.

[@candicejohnson9605]

And the human hair gives it a more realistic look, it last longer, and it don’t get mangled and bad looking after a couple weeks. The synthetic hair WILL NOT last as long.
