[@1cakesz]

This is what I do all the time! It’s a great protective style. And you can put it in a bun, wash it without worrying about tangling. It’s the best! Thanks for sharing

[@MeriahJohn]

Yessss! It definitely is a life saver!

[@jadesmith7983]

[@CoffeeT-v5j]

No you look beautiful sis and so is your hair…own it ❤🎉

[@RockinGirl202]

Your hair is beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing. Your hair looks to be about the same texture as my boyfriends. I've been practicing box braids and other styles on him to help him handle his hair. It was really helpful to watch you braid your hair!

[@MeriahJohn]

😅😅😅😅 that sounds fun

[@beckyblissfulblogger1701]

Your hair looks lovely gurlll

[@MeriahJohn]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@sarrondan4178]

After how long do you take it out ? I'm confused some say leaving it for a month or two make it grow others say u should wash every 1 week or 2 week for a clean scalp🤔

[@jermaineweekly3696]

[@joyceemonses312]

[@aliyahchambers6606]

Hi I have 3a 3b hair type but I really want to do this but I don't know if it's a good idea for my hair to type?

[@MeriahJohn]

You should be fine 💃🏾

[@trapcorpsvlog]

How long do you keep the braids in without having build up? Your hair is gorgeous btw

[@MeriahJohn]

Maybe a week/ week and a half. But you can wash them too.

[@trapcorpsvlog]

Meriah John Thank you ❤️

[@Veevee29347]

When I braid it’s hard for me to section my hair and when I’m done the roots aren’t neat like yours they look like there’s already growth there if that makes sense I try to do them tight and use gel but it doesn’t work😭

[@MeriahJohn]

Try wetting the roots more. It helps ❤️

[@morgandorsey-duquesne7827]

Meriah John is there a certain way to start the braid? or is it just like a regular braid coming off of your head?

[@lynettejohnny7339]

What products do u use in ur hair for it to be so long

[@Mini-rt8bm]

Your hair comes really far down your neck like me lol This style is all I've been wearing!

[@MeriahJohn]

Hairy girls unite 💪🏾

[@taeyeonswife3885]

Im here cause my hair is a mess and I need something to do this quarantine

[@MeriahJohn]

taeyeons wife yesss protective hairstyles will be great while we are home.

[@shari-leedavis1576]

I do the same thing by my ear. The middle of my hair is the thickest

[@MeriahJohn]

Sames girl Sames!! ❤️

[@nicoleespinet7807]

@Meriah John como hacemos para que con el tiempo no se doblen y queden rectas????

[@caligirl919sd3]

The way that I do it is on dry hair. For me wet hair seems to shrink over time and the roots get loose. If that makes sense.

[@amenwossen6240]

The water spray dropping it always happens to me too 😂

[@MeriahJohn]

😭😭😭

[@MadessaDaKid24]

How long do they last?

[@MeriahJohn]

It’s up to you to decide when you want to take it out tbh

[@syah1019]

Your gorgeous 💕

[@MeriahJohn]
