What kind of hair you use

[@tomwittner1490]

I want to commend all the skilled hair care stylists who have mastered this art. You are doing a great deal for the self-esteem of black men and women.

[@jesulaallen8421]

I need your phone number because I need my hair done the same way

[@octaviahallett3990]

Girl I did my own and it took me TWO DAYS to finish them😩😩😩😩. I understand!!

[@siahyoung6335]

LOL I did mine and it took me 10 days and then some because they puffed up... I'm a guy and that was not working for me, and then I had the nerve to add some color... I only did like 6 inches on top and 3-4 on the sides and back... January will be 4 years, it's down my back... I can tell the difference in the hair but I don't care... That was a lot of work and I love the way it hangs

@@hood-xl7392 One Day?? Wow I Need To Be More Focus Like You 😭😭

[@Miranda9Bella]

Someone prob already said this earlier in the comments, but you save time by using the hair that is already coiled in lock form, you manually created them which is 100times more time consuming, but of course it gives you depth of experience for the stylist that wishes to broaden their skillset, so hats off to you for all your labor!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@NiqueLynn]

Yes you're right! I use crochet hair quite often. Thanks hun!

[@brynnamelrose]

The way I normally cut down the time for doing my faux locs is I use a looser textured hair and do more of a butterfly loc then the style you did in the video. Using a looser hair texture makes you wrap faster because you don't have to wrap so tight and uniform. You did a great job tho, I love them!

EXCELLENT JOB. I LOVE HOW YOU TOOK TIME TO EXPLAIN IT ALL TO US! THIS IS NEXT LOOK!

[@NiqueLynn]

Hi Tina, thank you!!!😍😍😍 just an update tip, use a little of the marley hair to braid your natural hair first. I think it helps the loc to hold even better when its time to twist 😊

[@thatgurljay9229]

I love it. And yes it takes 6 hours the braid part is simple but I swear the wrap part 🤦🏾‍♀️😢😢😢😢 it seems like forever

I just got these done in Africa & it only took about an hour & a half, what they do here is pull your natural braid into the lock with the crochet hook

I love how these stylist just learn from each other even though this technique is used all the time for box braids and other styles

[@NiqueLynn]

Thank you! Quick tip, use some marley hair to braid in with the natural braids. It adheres better

[@erikarikki]

Is 6 to 7 hours supposed to be a long time? My hair always takes that long

[@NiqueLynn]

It definitely was for me at that time, but now I've gotten somewhat used to it

[@Spokentruths725]

Yeah that is kind of long. When I usually go to my regular braider it takes 3hrs the most for a full head of medium box braids and twist are usually 2hrs depending on the size. But this style does take a longer time because it’s tedious.
