I am embarrassed to admit this but I am a 40 yr old white woman that didn’t know what box braids were. I read an article today that mentioned them so I wanted to know more. I now have soooooo much respect for the amount of time/work that goes into the hair on women of color. This was such a well done video, I watched the whole thing enthralled. You are absolutely gorgeous, and even tho I might not be your target market I am so glad I took the time to learn more about other women in the world! 💪🏽💃🏽🥰

I tried this today on my hair, I've NEVER been a braider, like ever!!! I've always went to someone else to do my hair, so when she says beginner friendly, she is NOT lying. I love the way my hair turned out!!!!!!!!!!!! I've done 2 other styles from this channel to! She is def in my top 3 favorite youtubers now!! Love her whole vibe and everything she represents!!

[@verballyyours]

Yay I'm encouraged! So you cut the hair extention the same length all through? I normally see people cut the extention for the back hair a little shorter so the end result is even. Could you please let me know how you cut yours?

[@raconte-moialice9509]

And the elastic bands didn't cause any damage? That's what I'm most afraid of.

[@shandajoy2084]

It’s been around my mother would do my hair like her and use rubber bands This was in 95 96

[@dineomofokeng4221]

On my side,even with the rubber band method my grip game is weak I somehow pull the rubber band off.

[@jazzycaprice6606]

When you have your makeup slayed, do your own hair then do the editing and upload this video..... Plus you are a mommy ! "Bay-beh", you can't tell me women aren't awesome! ❤

[@coriestyle6744]

Just a tip: If you can’t find small elastic bands or have trouble covering the elastic bands, there’s a safe way to use rubber bands. Coat the rubber bands in oil or hair grease. Coat it completely. This allows the rubber to not snag onto your hair and break it off.

[@mylifewithmaddy6939]

Thank you for telling us it was helpful

[@pooteee4533]

Will blue magic hair grease work ?

[@lakevalowe4268]

That makes mine slip prematurely . I dont like that. I have seen people kinda like use the rubber bands then slip a little weave thru to help cover them. When u get ready to take them down just pull the weave a tiny but and cut the rubber band. It didnt snatch my hair out like it usually would

[@symonedenise6240]
