How To Do Box Braids On Natural Hair As A Protective Style - NO ADDED HAIR

[@Sweetsmae]

The oil on rubber bands is by far the best idea I’ve ever gotten !!

[@elizabethjohnson6773]

I love these protective styles with no added hair! Please continue to share! 😊

[@GeorgetteBu]

I am from the old school. My peers and I braided our hair like this in the late 60's early 70's and got called Buckwheat. We really jazzed our braids up after being called names. This style never called for added hair on a permanent base. I am 66 years old and decided to roll back the hands of time and braid my hair again and got unbelievable responses from everybody that saw me that had weave in their hair. No fake hair is necessary. My hair grow 6 inches in one year and still growing. Depending on how long your hair is don't worry about straight parts. Good Luck!

[@jeanettejbeauty6374]

Will do ☺️

[@0ut1and3r]

girl this is my go-to. i have it for 1-2 weeks. wash and repeat.

[@jeanettejbeauty6374]

outlander yes girl!!

[@prethathom6382]

@outlander me too. I usually redo mines every 3 weeks

[@0ut1and3r]

@@prethathom6382 yeaa i think i wash my hair more often than most naturals. its just what im more comfortable with.

To work?

@@maame6768 yep. You cant wear braids to work?

[@MissDesdemona]

I’m going to try this style tomorrow. Braids are my go-to protective style but my parting skills need work.

[@queenjones8051]

Mines too. The back of my head is the hardest part.

[@scorieshair]

Have a friend or family member make the parts for you especially in the back.

[@candythatzgummy]

Watching you part, detangle and braid your hair is always so satisfying lol

[@lynndakay]

Just feels nice having your own Hair on ! All the time ! Absolutely nothing bits that feeling 🥰🥰🥰

[@jeanettejbeauty6374]

Right 🙌🏽 love the versatility 🥰

[@Michelles_Daughter]

Just in time! Today is wash day

[@jeanettejbeauty6374]

Michelle's Daughter yay 🙌🏽 me too but a quick one 😫

[@tomeshilac]

When I was about seven or eight, my grandmother would do my hair like this once a month,but she would use the straighten comb first. This just helped me in styling my daughter's hair in the morning. I am going to do mine once I remove my extensions thnk you.

[@leekotvfilms5236]

Thank u …the rubber band technique really helped me

[@jeanettejbeauty6374]

Glad to know ☺️

[@danahudson1352]

Enjoyed gave me some tips on using oil on rubber bands & using edge gel instead of regular gel. Can't wait for the video on clean parting my parting is lousy.😀

One time I did braids like these in my hair as well and I used triangular parts!

[@prethathom6382]

Wow. It's like you read my mind. I've been doing this style for two months so far and I redo mines every 3 weeks (that's as far as my hair can go to). Thanks for the tips on the rubber bands because rubber bands really hurt my scalp even when it's not right so I haven't used them in a while 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@livinglifeleona]

I’ve been keeping my hair braided too! At first I did it to keep my hair out of my face while I’m on break but then I realized I had it all framed perfectly so now I just redo the braids one by one whenever one gets frizzy near my roots, every week or so. I’m like why didn’t I think of this sooner

[@tyfli187]

This came out so dope and ima have to try it , even tho I never braided my own hair lol

[@jeanettejbeauty6374]

Thank you 🥰

[@Melanie-wi9is]

Ha....I just did these today. I do these as a protective style pretty often these days during COVID. However, my hair is terribly fine so all my braids are skinny af. 😂 But that's okay. I just gather my braids into a bun and attach a curly ponytail. LOL Either that or I let the front row loose and attach a half wig. Bam!

In The Name of Love thank you 😊

[@vanessaharris5180]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much! I think following the finer techniques you explained( i.e. smoothing sections at top of head, snug braiding for great definition, staggering each row) will make big difference to the attractiveness of this style . Thanks very much. I will apply🦋

[@GeorgetteBu]

I was getting afraid that Black women were no longer actually going to braid their own hair like we did back in the days of "Say It Loud I'm Black And I'm Proud". I have 6 inch very thick 4C hair that is braided in micro braids for the past 12 months. I washed and conditioned and repaired/tightened braids every two weeks without fail. I wore my hair like this in High School back in the 70's and got called Buckwheat. Then an Actress named Bo Derek braided her long blonde hair and some Black women no longer sat down and took care of their hair like we always did. And the DAMAGE that has happened to the scalp from weave is unreal. Thank you for posting this video.

[@tracyelle2023]

I so enjoy watching your videos! They are so informative!

[@AnnikaYourFavGuineaPig]

I'm 10 years old and have some cornrows that I wanted to replace but I realized I can't do cornrows so I came to box braids! also- how long did this take you? (it's 8:15 at night and I don't want to be up all night)

[@Justboredlol42]

Yes another style to go to thanks so much for the rods I brought the orange ones and followed your step by step turned out great 👍

[@teNpac47]

Love that Sade "Sweetest Taboo" mix!! As well as your braids 🙂

[@ChristanCulture24]

Make sure hair not wet when braiding .

[@eo4345]

Make sure it’s moisturized. Frizz is caused by dryness. Grease or a gel can also help more than say oil to keep hair tidy.

I’m glad you are this, because I was about braiding my hair! This helps out a lot, because I be doing minds wrong❤️

[@shawnnaclement2962]

Thank you for telling us your products! I'm so much happier with my hair after using Betta Than Butta and your leave- in conditioner. I don't wake up a combo of Dianna Ross and Chewbacca, from Star Wars anymore. Can you please provide HONEST feedback as to how African Americans would view me with braids (see pic)? I would NEVER want anyone to think I'm being pretentious or misappropriating my race. For the record, my pappa was the first generation to (mostly) "pass" as white after moving to the US from Barbados. I don't look like my siblings. I'm the oddball being blonde and pale, but I still have curly, textured hair. Every day is a struggle to keep it neat and I'm done wearing a turban to avoid daily dreadlocks...

I wish my braids looked like this. One question. Do you recommed doing the braids on dry hair or soaking wet straight from the shower? Because I always do them in soaking wet hair since it's easier to comb but my braids don't look this clean.

Never braid your hair wet or wet it afterward... dry it first then condition. Water causes shrinkage
