How To French Braid Your Own Hair (THE EASIEST 5 MINUTE BRAID!) Real-Time Talk Through - PART 1

[@elizabethvoegel3936]

Any tips for doing this with curly hair that doesn't really separate into strands without yanking it with both hands and all the thoughts and prayers in the world? That's the issue I run into, I need both hands to separate new strands and lose track of the old ones.

People in the comment sections please come to the rescue with tips!!

And tonight you just made the whole thing makes sense in my brain and it looks beautiful. I had really given up hope a few years ago of ever being able to do this. My daughter French braided her own hair last night so I was inspired to try once again and then I found your video. Thank you for giving me a new style to do finally! I love this and I think everyone who doesn’t know how to braid should easily be able to figure it out from this wonderful tutorial! Much love! I’m in awe!!!

YES

[@kaiasaurus5713]

I am 24 years old and have never in my life successfully French braided my hair. I have looked up tutorials before but I could never wrap my brain around how to hold the sections and keep them organized. Today I found this video and on my first attempt after watching it I have successfully French braided my hair!!! I'm absolutely thrilled! I was not in the slightest offended to be given the exact same instructions over and over and over because that is exactly what I needed. She explains and shows everything very helpfully. Thank you!
