[@shirleyfgfgh7082]

This is the best tutorial! -No useless talkshit in the beginning and at the end -Zoom in on the hair and the motion with the fingers (including a back view!) -Explaining the motion very clearly and simply Other youtubers should take you as an example 😂 thank you so much!!

[@FightsRightsAlways]

I'm sick and tired of disrespectful, come- when- I -want -to, bad attitude, overpriced, I-really-don't-want-to-be-there, salon workers. That's why I have to learn. So thank you.

[@shadesofhart]

I have been doing my own (mediocre) box braids for almost 2 years. Something about this really made sense ...in such a different way. I just took one down just to try this method and immediately noticed the difference in grip and how the root lays. Wild! I appreciate you sharing this video with us.
