Box braids are everything to me! It’s now my daily style. They give me the swing of straightened hair without the heat damage! And I don’t have to comb my hair!!! Still look fly and it’s all my hair! And for those who cannot braid well like me, go to a stylist! It’s worth every penny! I admire your braiding skills! Your hair looks beautiful!

[@faithwilliams7978]

"I'm going to get every single hour back every day I wake up and don't have to do my hair."FACTS. It's why I live mini-twists. I may now be inspired to do mini- braids, EXCEPT making neat parts is not my strength and I am scared that the take down will take me literal DAYS. Oh well.I am thinking about it. Your hair came out beautifully 😊.

[@blackberriland]

Nah mini braids are the life ! I feel like a white girl !

[@PrincessSade]

How much do you pay for the braids??

[@PurdyNapps]

@@PrincessSade $165

[@PrincessSade]

@@PurdyNapps oh okay that’s not bad thank you

[@YouTubeUzername]

Simply gorgeous, I wish I had the patience. I can’t believe you were able to do this in only 6.5 hrs. This shit would have taken me 2 days.

[@RachelAdina]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead! I simply didnt have the patience to be bothered with my hair doing this pandemic so I sucked it up and started braiding. It was super Tedious but simple so next time I'll ask my 2 nieces to help me!😅 #childlabor #askakid

[@bandaqueenlove9134]

lool honestly I feel it would only take me 2 days if I was really that tired, but I've never pushed it that far never once. I can push through for 6 hours since I'm used to it. You just need to put on some really good music or watch a show and you'll be fine (maybe take some breaks into between for snacks or to rest your arms to keep going)

[@CinemaDoll137]

lol my microtwists take 16 HOURS over the course of 2 days.

[@Mini-rt8bm]

Girl your parting skills is amazing!

[@ez2bcute]

Yea I am wowed as well. I actually went to the salon, had her blow dry and braid my hair to the back and used those braids as a basis for my mini braids

[@GrowingGoodHair]

@@ez2bcute i KNOW! It never occurred to me to blow dry first! I might have to try that or at least do a heatless stretch by doing big braids first then taking them out before installing small braids

[@lovelyhope2664]

If I ever rock this mini braid style, I will surely keep it for 6monhs. Ain't going to spend 6 hours braiding to take it down in a month!

[@lookingatdaisies9901]

If you want locs, yes 6 months is cool 😂

[@thebscotts]

You motivated me to do this style💜. Started at 2pm and I am literally finishing the last braid (it’s 10:10pm) Just stopped to say thank you!

[@KeKe4Christ]

Cannot wait until my braids get to this length! I love mini braids and mini twists and just did my mini braids and plan to keep them for 3 months, yes 3..washing and rebraiding as needed

[@RachelAdina]

I support this message good luck sis! Your hair will be this length and thriving before you know it!

[@KeKe4Christ]

Rachel Adina thank you!!

[@Melanie-wi9is]

OMG, totally gorgeous!! My hair is way too skinny and scalpy for this tho. My "big" braids are the size of her tiny braids. Haha

[@tgoeden24]

Yup! That first row always has me questioning whether I made the right decision or not 😂

[@melitaingram1621]

Wow these look so good I thought they were knotless box braids!

[@ukcurlygrl1]

I do those once a month. When I blow dry my hair put to stretch it I will leave the ends so they are not blown straight or stretched as much as the rest. That way when I braid and I add product the curls pop on the end of the hair and less frizz 😊

[@beverlywhite5438]

I love your hair! And think of the money you saved by braiding it yourself. 👏

[@111PanteraBlu]

The parting and braids came out great. I like how the top parting came out, although I’m not sure I understood how it was done. I love the constructive self talk. Thank you for sharing ❤!

[@goodenergi]

my hair is half the length ... tell me why it took the same amount of time 😂😂

[@ladyofwisdom2]

Gosh, at this point. I just need to give you my address so that you can mail me some of your patience. Lol. I make my braids a lot bigger cause my patience is very limited. Anyways, your braids are 💣 and your hair is extremely long and pretty. ❤🔥

[@LilyflowerTigerlily]

Love her hallelujahs and praising the Lord

[@roxyroxii1152]

Imma let you finish, imma let you finish...but this is the best mini braid tutorial on KZbin!!!

[@TheNaturalIntrovert]

Lord, give me the strength to do this...these are beautiful!

[@marleen1111]

My God! If Goddess has a name..cause you are truly a Goddess, my heart warms seeing beautiful sisters like yourself slaying their beautiful natural hair.

[@KeKe4Christ]

YOU. ARE. GORGEOUS. QUEEN!!! I LOVE mini braids and always add beads to my ends because I love the way it looks. Mini braids last me 4-6 weeks as I wash and deep condition while keeping them in! Love the manageability and that I don’t have to worry about my hair for a while and it grows too lol

[@RachelAdina]

Thank you sooo much Queen! Your black is drop dead gorgeous too; I don't even have to see you its an inevitable truth. I totally agree with you mini braids are sooo amazing! I like your bead idea what kind of beads do you buy for them?

[@pearl837]

I love how mini braids look but I'm never putting myself through that again. The take down is the worst

[@RachelAdina]

Noooooooo seriously? I'm thinking that since we are quarantined I want have much else to put my time into. I guess I will be benging The Office with this braid take down.🤷🏾‍♀️😅

[@iamnecii6373]

I love this style & I do it all the time!!! If you use water & conditioner, and comb from end to root, they will come down very easily with absolutely no breakage!!

[@lilyraimey3499]

They were too tight if they were a struggle to take down.

[@aurorawms8361]

Remember don't borrow while your braiding!! This makes a difference in take down. If you don't borrow, when it's time to take down you can pull them apart a bit and let it unravel, using a rat tail comb at the ends only. This works for me and my hair is tailbone length, I do box braids slightly bigger than hers here

[@CurlsofaCPA]

Bruh let me take a second to bless the Lord for that publix chicken 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 now to continue watching haha

[@C0utainZ]

Girl thank you sooo much for this video.. about to go on a trip and your video saved me. The video quality and your demonstration of how to do this style was excellent… thank you 🙏🏾 ❤😊

[@shareeminor9125]

I've watched this over and over to see how much time I have until I reach this length. I think another year: 6 inches. I'll be happier with the length next Spring. Almost time to tuck it away and hibernate. Thanks for the video!

My name is Rachel too! I have the same nicknames!

[@joanderson7232]

Hello Rachel, it’s my first time watching your video. You really cheered me up and made me laugh so much. You look so gorgeous and so does your hairstyle. God Bless 💓

[@bloxygigi7736]

damn the patience! i would've lost my damn religion trynna do this !

[@kamnic26]

Beautiful! But beware if you get a lot of shrinkage DO NOT spray water it will shrink your braids. They will swell and have body naturally. The cream is great to use and it curls the ends naturally. I wear this style all the time as a back up hairstyle. And using edge control on the shaft of each braid, makes them stay neater longer.

[@yishiy999]

Beautiful Beautiful 😊😊
