DROOPY BRAID HACK! STOP DOING YOUR BRAID THIS WAY. TRY THIS INSTEAD! Braided Hairstyle | Long Hair

[@emilyrosenzweig9946]

I really appreciate seeing braids on people who don't have eight pounds of extensions in -- so much more relatable! These braids look beautiful!

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

SAME!

[@suckerpunchsally6525]

And yet I have to wear extentions to have as much hair as her.

[@woodificould]

Dude, seriously. I get that those braids look better and make for a better picture, but it makes it completely irrelevant for someone who just wants to throw their hair into a braid and have it look decent

[@Teenywing]

My hair is so shitty I need them to have a braid thicker than my pinky 🤓🙄

[@KS-wr4vv]

This hairstyle also looked good with just the twist and the loose Pony. It made the pony appear longer as another option

[@ylva571]

I’m 62 but still love having long hair. I do archery and my hair needs to be securely out of the way. I love these new braid ideas! So creative yet simple ❤

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

YAY! So happy to hear that 😊❤thanks for being here!

@ ylva - me, too! I don't do archery, but I am active outside and usually just put my hair in a tried-and-true pony tail. I love these different ways to do a secure, beautiful braid! Sometimes I do just love the lazy braid, tho ;o)

[@Hair__Haven]

I actually think the droopy braid looks quite good (just has that natural feel to it). But I also quite liked the other braids you showed. I really aprreciate the effort you always put into your videos. 🥰🥰🥰

[@babyyoda7417]

Me too 🥰🥰🥰

I like the droopy braid too! Wouldn’t be ideal though for certain occasions, weather, outfit, etc…. a lot of factors 😂❤ but I’m def a loose braid fan!!

Your makeup is so pretty in this video and I really appreciate you explaining each step out loud. It can be really hard to follow a tutorial sometimes by only watching it.

The long fly always are so recognizable! You hardly ever see hair styles on here where people have those, nice to see something relatable 🙃

As someone with intensely thick & unruly Scottish hair that never holds a braid for an hour-this is GREATLY appreciated! Subbed! Also, you have amazing eyes & I love your makeup look you did for this.

[@dawna8695]

Oh my gosh thank you for this! I've got pretty long hair and my braids (unless started from a regular pony tail) have always looked just like your first one. ok enough though they can get undone and messy pretty quick, but I thought that's just how life is lol. This looks so put together and is actually doable even for me-yay!

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

The 1st one is nice but it can get pretty messy as it continues to loosen throughout the day! I hope this hack will help you! Thank you for watching and for the comment!💗

[@asthecroweflies]

Finally a hair hack on braiding that I can follow! Thank you for talking and braiding at a reasonable pace for a student! I did like the second one better. Although you are absolutely right that the first one is more distinctive with the crossover of the side sections, making it look more unique.

Honestly, I really like the droopy braid cause it adds some texture and sometimes loose hair gives like a relaxing vibe but, I do like the ones you showed because if you want a more clean looking braid those are better then a droopy braids!! But, thank you for the time you put into this video!!! I love your videos so much there very helpful thank you 💗😊🤍

Love this!!! I was holding my breath when you were curling the baby hairs at the nape of your neck. I ALWAYS BURN MYSELF at that point. Ugh. Working in dental, a SECURE braid is ideal ❤ thank you

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

Hahah! Same!!! I’ve burnt myself so many times with a curling iron that I probably wouldn’t even notice if I did it 😅❤

[@willquinndeb]

ahhhh I love the droopy braid... I call it my Elden Lord braid (you play Elden Ring you get it) ... comfy to wear, does not pull on the head and just looks really awesome maybe cause my hair is soooo much longer but the droopy is the most comfy braid to wear if I wanted a braid tight to my head would do a french or inverted french but I do not ... love mine lose and comfy

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

I love a loose braid too! But sometimes I want a braid that looks a little more put together. But I do love a boho look!

[@annikahansen2326]

thanks for your easy and clever braid hack. My hair is 118 cm long and many hairstyles don't work because they are heavy and stylish looks (like fancy updos) cause scalp and head pain. Your amazing trick helps me! 🙂

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

Yay!! So happy to hear. Sounds like you have some beautiful locks!

[@mrspilgrim327]

I love both these braids and appreciate your more detailed video, thankyou. Im not surprised this went viral, I havent got the patience to faff about with my hair for too long, for me 5 mins, 10 mins max is most of the time I want to spend on my hair. Most of the time I end up giving up on new hair styles because there are just too many hand and shoulder gymnastics going on, and that, and the tangles and fails in getting the parting tidy looking just frustrate me. I end up giving in because I just havent got the time or energy. I saw you posted the first braid up a few weeks ago here on youtube, I instantly went and tried it and loved it, but even though I watched it in slow mo, I didnt realise you had crossed it over before braiding, it still worked but it look even nice now. Im going to try the second one too, although from my experience, having extra long thick hair, pulling the hair through the loop can be tricky. To section long thick hair more easily, heres a trick that helped me. If you are finding it difficult to separate the the sections and ponytail the middle part without tangles, I first put my middle section up in a french barrette with no teeth ( its a common hair clip you probably already have, just google it ). It helped me pre section before doing the middle ponytail, I then just unclipped it and slipped it out gently when I was done platting. It also looks nice left in, thats how I used to do my long floppy braid hair style....before I recieved this new one! Thanks again, and well done on this simple elegant braid, lovely.

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

Yay! Great tip to share! Thank you. And thankyou for watching and commenting! Truly appreciate you!

Both are beautiful, wondering if you answer a question for me. Would you recommend using coconut oil in your hair? Also how to go about using it? Thanks and hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving.

[@LaineyMarieBeauty]

Hi! Yes I would! I’d use it as a hair mask. Apply it and then wrap your hair in a hot towel to allow your hair cuticle to open. (Or use a blow dryer). I’d let it sit for 30 minutes or so, depending on your hair type then wash ❤
