Thank you so much for this tutorial! I never got the “I can braid” gene and was never taught. This tutorial was SO HELPFUL. For anyone else struggling, I suggest blocking off some time, maybe just an hour or two and just trying. Most of us know what it’s like to plait hair, but the pickup/add in is where we lose it. Just try a couple attempts at a FULL BRAID (that’s where I messed up because I would quit 1/4 of the way through). That will get your hands comfortable with the motion. It might not be pretty or as tight as you want it, but you’ll get familiar with the feeling of gripping your hair, if you are more comfortable dealing with slightly damp or dry hair, and how much/little hair you feel comfortable trying to manipulate! For me, it’s most helpful when my hair is stretched for now. Good luck! I’ve been doing decently at it for a couple weeks. It gets better every time! You got this!

[@angelictigerette]

Thanks, sis!

looks at hands, looks at hair... i can't do this shit.. lol... but it looks lovely

[@OGlezoking]

this is sooo hard

[@OnlyMichaelJackson]

[@angelacooper8973]

I’m trying and my French braid is fucked up I can’t even do two my hair so thick I gotta do three or four.

Great tutorial I can't do these to save my life lol but hopefully I'll get it now

[@ethanmarvin8949]

you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of weeks :)

[@wilsonlucca554]

@Ethan Marvin definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself =)

[@Olalla_Rey]

Hey curly friends. You may think that this is really hard , especially if you’re influenced by all the struggling commenters, but trust me it’s so easy if you just go really slow. I got it on my first try because I did it slow. And even if you don’t get it at first you will definitely get it eventually, just keep trying💕

[@corinne0110]

This is actually the only true beginner tutorial that worked for me. I have absolutely no experience braiding against my scalp- I've only braided the ends of my hair. Other beginner tutorials start out by braiding straight back, which does exactly that, braid against the scalp. This makes it harder to learn the actual technique of the braid if you're an actual beginner since you're tackling both skills at once. This tutorial is an easy introduction to braiding against the scalp since it approaches it from the side, which is how I typically braid my hair. The angle was familiar, which made the technique easier to pick up. Thank you for living up to the beginner title!

[@sarahomer3841]

I've been trying to perfect the French braid and I have seen many other videos but this one helped the most!!!😊 I learned the French braid properly in only 3 days!!!😉 THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!

[@yaniim8397]

This is hands down the BEST braiding tutorial I’ve EVER watched. I always would start with the right strand going under the middle, but I see you do it over the middle. Doing it over provides a way tighter, neater braid. Now, I just have to work on adding hair to my braid. Thank you!

[@Batzy8]

i have 4c hair and it's really thick. i dont know how to braid but i need to

[@Rayann410]

you can do it curlfriend! Practice practice practice!☺️😉

[@katlynchristine]

[@daybyday966]

Same especially with my left handed ass🤣

[@Movies123Online]

Practice with string a bunch. That's how I learned to braid when I was kid. Then practice with hair. Just remember smaller pieces of hair, start at the root not the end, and stretch/pull as you braid/plait.

[@uniquea8079]

Samee😭😭 but I'm not gonna give up imma keep trying 👌🏾

[@mskiara18]

I found your video from an article, thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial!

[@lndigenous]

It looks so simple when you do it, but when i try it's a complete mess. My hair immediately starts to tangle even if I detangle it somehow gets knotted.

[@robyn-leeliya8856]

Girl I have no idea what your fingers are doing 😣 I’m hopeless 😩 sitting with a big fro of de tangled hair now 🤣 .. bout to just put it in a bun and pour myself a glass of wine 🙈😩

[@xoaliyahxo9854]

this helped me so much ive watched so many how to French braid videos and this is the only one that actually taught me something

[@baileyroyal2269]

can you please send me the hair stuff you use in your hair because I'm really tender headed and I just want to know if that can help your head from getting tender headed can you text me back I'll give you my phone number I mean yeah

[@susu_lifee]

omg it actually worked and it was so easy ive never tried these before aswell, 2024 anyone??

[@rainejankowski207]

for whatever reason, this video was the only video that actually helped me french braid! i have never french braided my own hair or someone else’s, and today i thought i’d give it a shot. this video helped me a lot! THX

[@chloehunter2751]

Omg my braid was so loose the first time I did it, but I didn’t do smaller sections. Next time, I’ll make sure to do smaller sections. This video helped me alot, thank you so much!

[@skateata1]

Thanks for the video. You are so pretty!

[@elizabethhedges2111]

Every single other video that I have seen by other people... they don’t break it down and make sure that people can understand it... with this... I actually FINALLY managed to do first a Dutch braid and then a French braid... you broke it down into simple and easy ways to do it... so... you are a LIFESAVER!!!

[@chinesebytyler7349]

Thank you so much for making this video

[@Shon9tilR]

Been practicing on my man’s hair. The key is to be able to glide your fingers through the entire time. Makes braiding easy.

[@damitoodelusi7499]

So everything was good on the less dominant side but when i got to the ride side, i think i need more hand holding because its looking like french braid vs plait on my head

[@rochelle1199]

Omg your hair is sooo thick and beautiful! Mine is recovering from damage so its not as big and thick as it should and could be

[@c3theegoat378]

I’m a beginner and this my first time trying and it looked pretty and the more you try the better you get

[@kindell1]

I’m slowly getting there, thank you!! I was beginning to get frustrated depending on my mother to do this specific style, i mean, she’s not getting any older and I don’t want to keep stressing her out with my hair all the time!!! So you showing us how to do it really makes it easier for me, I’m glad i found you!!

[@Socratica]

Great idea to use slo-mo! Why do you start on your non-dominant side? Hope everything is going well! :)

[@sophiag.7150]

This was very useful! I like doing hair and a few days ago my friend ask me to do hers and it looked ok but it was challenging to work with (I myself have very straight, very thin hair), but now I know more about how to prep it.

[@samaiyafunvlogs6562]

Thanks for the heads up I will definitely be trying

[@remytherat1684]

Thanks really helped me the first time I only added hair to the right side instead of both and now my hair looks really good

[@camgscott]

hey so imma guy and of course I'm new to this "doing hair" I love to see my beautiful sistas on here but I'm sorry sweetheart you kinda hafto slow it down a bit. I mean the actual speed is cool but u got a lotta choppiness in ur editing and I can't tell what's going on. how do u start with 3 strands and then it cuts to a new frame and somehow u have more hair in ur hand? That's the part I don't get. i can do plat braids fine but I don't get how to make em stick to ur head . Don't laugh im new to this. 😬 I can cut a mans head like no other but all this parting and detangling whatnot..... its all German to me.

[@taylorcimone6384]

so you would part your hair into a medium section then separate that part into 3 separated parts. then you would have in your hand 3 braids one would be on the right side left side and middle so first depending on what side your one you would take your left and put that in front of your middle then your left would cross over to the right side then taking your right parted piece you would cross that over to your right side then taking your new left piece which would have been your old middle piece starting all over again..

[@Sabbathworshipful]

Cameron Scott sorry I can't help but lol esp after you said dont laugh

[@dude.stop111]

That awkward moment when you speak German*

[@dcdddddd1]

Did you put an elastic toward the end of your braids?

[@TheChristianBudgeter]

Super cute! I love the red lipstick and nails! TFS! Be blessed!

[@anthonyvalenzuela95]

Will this style help with my hair growth because I just got them recently

[@Rayann410]

braids help you to keep your hands out of your hair allowing it to grow and not break off from so much manipulation. so in a sense yes! you'll see more length retention but your hair will still grow at its normal rate. hope that helps!😊

[@anthonyvalenzuela95]

@@Rayann410 I do touch it everyday when I need to moisturize it, scratch it when it itches, hair sticks out and I've kept for 3 weeks. Is that bad, should I take them off when it's since I've reached that time or just leave it on longer

[@anthonyvalenzuela95]

@@Rayann410 I really hope all of that is not a red flag because I've had plateau with my medium length hair for almost 4 years and I really want my hair to get past that plateau and people say "leave it alone", moisturize it everyday" etc so I don't know what I should do.

To make this easier for peoples you just start braiding from the top of your head and go down and has you go down you keep adding more hair.
