I'm 12 And I've Been Braiding My Older And Younger Sister Hair Since I Was 10 And This Is A Boost For Meh Thanks For Your Help 💜

[@gokublack744]

I love your technique; because, you didn't make the base of the hair bulky. It was flat and very neat. I enjoyed watching your video!

[@Alida342]

This is so far the best of all descriptive how to part for box braiding. I liked how you have reference points where to part from. Tutorial well done 👏🏾

[@lesslysierra6020]

I did my first box braids today and lemme tell ya this video was a whole lotta help. My friend has wanted braids for a while and since I’m always doing crazy things with my hair I figured id give it a go. That ish is so hard took me 8 hrs but def learned a lot of things!

[@moniquewilson1703]

I love it and I love how at the end when you take a pic you hold your clients’ hair up so that we can see the parts. 😊

[@rosalynscaife5036]

I like using the “brick-lay” pattern as well. Good show. Thanks for sharing.

[@moniquewilson1703]

Her hair is pretty! You do a great job.

[@sandradejesus9188]

THESE BRAIDS LOOK LIKE KNOTLESS THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL ♥️

Yes No dandruff I don't like dirty hair while braiding Nasty somebody are lazy don't even wash the hair intil clean

[@TyDolla616]

Can you please show how to start off and manage the braiding hair when you first take it out the pack for different size braids and how to keep the amount of hair consistent? That’s my biggest struggle. Every time I try the hair usually gets tangled or matted because I never know how to separate it. These braids look good btw 😍😍😍😍

[@nunued2652]

You could measure with the size of ur finger like by putting the hair by ur ring finger or whatever to keep the size consistent

[@mamathani-je6142]

Alfreda Edwards good idea! Never thought of that.

[@daviannasmith3021]

Ty Dolla to keep it from tangling, when you take it out the pack, hold the middle of the hair and comb/brush each side before separating

[@ashleywilliams4986]

Mine too😩

[@iluvb52death]

Get pre stretched hair ... use right out the pack

[@keilyn928]

I believe the term that you are looking for is brick layer parting. Beautiful job.

[@yourhusbandismyboyfriend1714]

Thank you for this video. It has helped me tremendously! I braid perfectly, but have always struggled with my parting. My daughter is in love with her hair! ♥️

[@layahlayah5951]

I love free shit and that includes the love I have for doing my own hair, but trying to part and style your own hair is hard, you may not, but if you ever (box) braid, part or twist your own hair could you make tutorials for that❤

[@vice_santos]

Isbt that from narmak? Ok 3 rd why you in here

[@kimcarlson825]

I am 10 years old and i am in 5th grade and i am getting box braids tomorrow (1/2/19) and my mom is at work and when she comes home i am going to show her this video because for weeks i did not know how i wanted my hair, but now this is the way i would like my hair.

[@nyla3015]

[@ashleywilliams4986]

thank you so much for uploading this video!!! :) now I'm going to do my own hair this way :) thank you again for the nice neat clear instructions!!! if you upload another video that is similar please also show us the top view down of her finished hair.... meaning those very last two rows I wanted to see that top down angle too! thank you :)

[@Nenegyrl]

You always do wonderful work. So neat and beautiful. I love it! If I may offer a little feedback for people like myself that use earbuds or headphones. Your voice, as sweet and soft as it is, is kinda hard to hear so I have to turn up the volume. Then the music comes in and completely blows me away. LOL I really enjoy watching your videos, but I do struggle with the volume. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. 😀

[@AdenPlease]

Nedra Smith omg Yes! Especially when I’m watching after I’ve gotten my daughter to bed lol and the music blasts in and I’m scrambling to turn it down. A majority of KZbin videos are like that unfortunately.

[@markiesasmith7974]

I love it sis!!! Very cute and so neat

[@TooMuchMiracle]

I swear you are a master at what you do these look bomb I want my hair like this for my birthday.

[@KGEmpress]

Thanks for the ez/Xpression braiding tip. This looks beautiful.

[@blindsey1043]

I thank you explained it to where I can understand now if I could do it that might be another thing 😁🤗

[@susanjoshua440]

I love it I wish I can do it

[@amyacraig4016]

Your braids neat again as always 😀

[@karonhamilton7314]

Great job! You braided her hair so nice and the parts are perfect! How many packs of hair did you use?

[@Taneah15]

I just love the way that u don’t put a lot of gel oh the scalp

[@latonyagriffin4826]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@ConsciousCoiffeur]

Can you please do a video on no-knot braids/box braids? @glambymerry

[@brinatoopretty]

This is so beautiful and neat

[@braidsbynasongae2551]

Merry i love you. I watched you all the time. I recently started braiding, I have learned so much from you. You are my impiration to keep on going. 💗 mine is Braids By Nasongae

[@Ms.NigeriaParker]

I'm sitting here trying to follow this right now

[@annayeboah2008]

Could you do a video from the very beginning of the process? This video was very helpful but for the two videos I watched you had the entire bottom row completed already. Could you begin with taking out the hair, cutting and stretching, etc. I think it would help to see how to prepare the hair, the client, etc. Before beginning Thanks for the video!

[@JEANNETTEHARDY]

It looks so beautiful

[@aliciacalliste6784]

Absoutely lovely and super neat

[@opemipoajibola6488]

So lovely 😍

[@ThePoundcake1031]

I was wondering if I can get some feedback on this..........I braid as well and I am starting to not like the EZ braid brand. I still have to stretch it when I use it because it is so choppy. Have you or anyone else had this problem?

[@LondonTayy]

AllThings_Lakirah i like it honestly no issues

[@prettypinckney1530]

I rather Queen B brand, I agree a lot of the EZ braid packs come so choppy instead of "pre-stretched".

[@diannamoore9529]

I also don't like the ez braid. I don't use it at all!

[@bellaholmes31]

I use Queen B or Expressions. It's prestretched and it braids easier.

[@ThePoundcake1031]

bellaholmes31 where did you find xpressions prestretched??

[@F10werbunny]

Beautiful as always!

[@tiesejohnson721]

Beautiful braids. Also nice and neat. I would love for you to do my braids.

[@domojackson-grant]

Very nice! Looks really good

So beautiful and neat

[@ashleymorgan1043]

Beautiful !

[@MsGH91]

Hi Merry! Love your channel. Your videos have really helped me improve my braiding technique and I'm comfortable taking a small amount of clients now! Quick question for you: how long does this style (box braids) typically take you to do? I usually finish mine in 6.5-8 hours ( I have small children, so I have to stop sometimes for snack breaks lol). Also how do you pace yourself? Thanks for the input!

[@MrsWitherspoon]

Beautiful!! but you should let it lay straight after dipping so there no indentation once you take the braid down. I don't pull mine up for atleast the first day.. but is beautiful either way

[@LocsMermaidia]

I wish u would've shown how to make it less full with the illusion of fullness. Where to make the parts bigger? The middle? Towards the top?

[@F10werbunny]

Usually in the middle make the box bigger the fuller at the top. In some tutorials if scalp is showing its to spacey

[@khadijahmuhammad936]

I find that using triangles give that illusion.

[@khadejahgray]

Part small rows around the perimeter and in the front and bigger in the middle with the same size braids. And half moon or upside down U parting gives that illusion

[@LocsMermaidia]

@@khadejahgray thank you

[@kmccurtis19]

Excellent job

[@Julz6468]

Love this tutorial ❤️❤️❤️

[@LondonTayy]

Great job love . Our braiding style is so similar !

[@chamaribarnes9784]

@Glam By Merry How many packs of hair do you usually use when doing small box braids?

[@LotusFlowerLife]

she used 5 packs for this one 😍

[@elizabethakinyi1895]

Her skin is popping

[@loveleonk]

Is there any products i should be using? I'm planning on doing box braids but I have long, straight, virgin hair. Is there any info you guys could give me? (article, videos, etc.) I want to wear the braids in appreciation for their beauty and history, without offending others. Thanks! The video was great and her hair is gorgeous. 🤗

[@briannasheridan8891]

Helped me a lot ! Thanks !

[@onathishinga6574]

I wish you had showed us from the back when you were doing the top part rather than from the side other than that it was a very detailed and lovely tutorial.

[@JustKyyy]

Did you cut the hair in half? I’m trying to figure out how you did them that thick with only 5 packs of hair

[@brishadashylia1435]

Natural DeNae the hair is pre-stretched n the packs are thick I use that hair all the time

[@chet0388]

Nice!! I just did some of these for my granny😄
