This video was very helpful! I was getting ready to give up but I found some hope with this. I'm finally starting to get a little better. One thing I want to suggest to beginners (like me): start messy! I tried being a little more sloppier and it let me focus more on the technique itself and not how neat and pretty it looked. Now, once I get used to how to hold my hair and grab sections, I can start focusing on being neat and precise. Just a thought.

[@DrakesNest]

So glad it helped!:)

[@alessandracassarino8418]

Drakes Nest how do you move it towards the middle of your head because when i do it it ends up on my ear. Do i have to do it tighter

[@DrakesNest]

You can keep it right on or head but kind of drag and guide it which direction you want it to go

[@sydniehall7933]

Just saying the whole don’t look in the mirror and close your eyes trick was amazing. I struggle so bad trying to braid and have tried a few styles and always seem to mess up part way through and takes FOREVER to get it decent looking. Today I did this with my eyes closed and it took me less than 20 minutes and omg. I’m in love. Great tip!

[@rajeswari6946]

Amazing. I usually get confused after watching these kinda videos. But you giving those most crucial tips on not looking at the mirror while doing it and feel it and keeping ur hand angels to ur growth of the hair. Man these are the crucial tips. Thanks a lot. It helped and these you go. I completed doing these two by my self.

[@julesk2556]

after years of trying to figure out how to do this, this is the first helpful video where i didn’t find myself crying in the mirror but rather instantly knew how within minutes!! My hair looks like shit but i finally learned and now can practice!❤️❤️

This is the only tutorial I've ever watched that actually helped me figure out how to do this. I didn't think I would ever get the hang of it. So excited !

[@elliottstrider8010]

This also works great still on short hair! My hair barely touches my shoulder and I’ve spent years trying to figure out how to do french braids and nothing seemed to work but just “don’t watch yourself and try and feel it with your hands” and “Work it like a normal braid just adding a piece everytime you go to move an outer one inside” helped SO SO much.

[@anyao.7405]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I tried following the instructions, and figured out that a french braid doesn't work for my hairstyle needs because all those strands don't stay put for too long with my hair type. From your video, I learned that pulling my hair downwards would result in a neater and less floofy braid. This improved my braiding knowledge and helped me produce a neater hairstyle. Super helpful. :)

Maybe try to hold it at an angle more towards the back of your head, pretend to point at the nape of your neck. Practice adding different amounts. Let it be messy and not perfect until you feel better with the technique.
