1)Make sure hair is detangled 2)Parts nice neat and straight 3)Pick up the right amount of hair 4)Keep your fingers close to your scalp Great video ❤️❤️❤️

How do you keep your fingers close like I’m always holding at the ends to keep my strands separated. It’s so hard!

With me I can braid but my lines are never neat what might be the problem

I still remember watching your previous video a while back and it finally clicked in my head what I was doing wrong and it literally changed my braiding to a whole new level!!

[@avy4714]

@@juniorrose5138 ik this comment was three* months ago, but practicing a lot can help you learn and make it easier to braid.

[@simply_dee6653]

I know everyone learns differently, some visual, some audio, but what helped me was to practice on a mannequin or on my friends/ my partner. I even used thread once, anything that is pliable enough for you to use to practice a basic 3 strand braid, will work. Once you can easily make a simple plait, you’ll be unstoppable when you move to more intricate styles/techniques. You’ll get there, you just have to have patience with yourself throughout the process. Hope this helps! ✌🏼 😊

Wow. I had to come back to say. I watched this video 2 weeks ago and just now braided 2 braids nicely in my hair for the first time in my life thank you so much for this. It really is easy as just using smaller sections and keeping your fingers on your scalp.

[@kaleamarie282]

How do you keep your hair detangled without it reverting back?

[@ehi6269]

After detangling a section of hair, put it in a twist. That way it stayed stretched. When you want to braid or style your hair, all you have to do is loosen the twist and fluff it out with your fingers and you are good to go. If you hair is short and won't stay in a chunky twist more than a minute, I advise you get small hair clips. Dt way you twist it out and secure the ends with a clip of Bobby pin.

Can I ask how make it still touching your head at the back? It seems to be tight and on my scalp throughout my head but in the back it doesn't take the shape of my head instead it goes kinda like straight down when it should be round and even if it does hold to my head after like a day that part loosens and the problem happens

[@user-ov9pk1qu4n]

I have the same question. Trying bigger bits, trying smaller bits. Nothing seams to help. 😢😊

[@swedmerson90]

What if the person's hair you are braiding had a very loose/gummy scalp? I can't seem the get my daughter's braids tight because it seems like her whole scalp is coming off her head.

[@easily628]

My daughter has a moving scalp too it messes with my parts!
