I just got my hair braided in Thailand for $60. Box braids with no hair added. It came out beautiful.

[@ALH22]

You kept a str8 face when he showed you them braid he was getting 😂😂😂

[@jaeshasway]

14:59 The heavy handed approach is why I always go to braiders with my hair fully blown out. They’re usually outstanding at braiding, but not all of them care about being careful with your hair when blow drying or detangling. 😅

[@Msdeb-y7g]

That part

[@carlawilliams724]

You are so open and comfortable with all people and I’m here for it.

[@MZKITTY-v6z]

Jasmine, your positive energy and wonderful personality are truly admirable. I have never traveled abroad before, but your videos have inspired me to explore new places. I am planning a trip to Istanbul next March, where I will meet my future husband. Initially, I was apprehensive about traveling abroad, but your videos have helped alleviate my concerns. Thank you for sharing your experiences and making the world seem less daunting. ❤🎉 By the way, thank you for the information on hair and nail care. As well as the many different restaurants! You're amazing!!

[@Tamaratuneday]

Hair in Africa is so inexpensive. We got our hair, nails and makeup for my friends 3 weddings and each time is was $10pp. I am Australian and my friend from Congo invited for her weddings. We were often in in the suburbs of Kigali or Kampala or rural towns so that hadn’t done straight blonde hair. One hair stylist walked passed and rubbed my hair, I think she was fascinated to see what it felt like, it was cute and funny. I currently pay for tuition for two teenage girls in Rwanda to learn hairdressing, it was arranged through the Pastor who married my friend at her church wedding. Hairdressing in Africa is a way for financial independence for women. I feel very honoured to be included in my friends family and world. Her name is Grace and she shows me grace x

[@lilianembiye6653]

Wow

[@jaeshasway]

This is what BP have to face on a regular basis, in US and foreign countries where BP are rare. Thankfully with SM the hair touching without permission has lessened but it’s still very prevalent in schools, workplaces, other public spaces, etc. I was in Sally’s recently and the worker touched and tugged on my hair, giving it a wig test I guess, but yeah, it’s not a wig. Probably should’ve back handed her but was just shocked into silence at the audacity.

[@mazystaar]

That is beautiful sponsoring girls to learn hairdressing!

[@deannefalahey8802]

@@jaeshaswayOMG how disrespectful!! I had men touch my stomach when I was pregnant too. I honestly didn’t mind the sweet girl touching my hair as it was at the hairdresser. But touching without permission anywhere else is a hard NO! Sorry you had to go through that some ppl are just rude

[@deannefalahey8802]

@@mazystaarI normally don’t tell ppl, it just seems like a safe space here and on topic with the hair braiding. There’s a backstory with the girls which is their story and not to be shared publicly. A local Pastor shared with me and it felt like the right thing to do. I have had ppl do supportive things for me, if we all help one person we would all be in a better place. Jas pays for a coffee for two ladies in London it’s the same thing ❤️

[@keyongrays9342]

Love the new hair it’s absolutely stunning ❤crazy to see how many non black peoples get their hair braided it really does show how different things on the other side of the world are.

[@cspel002]

When i went to Ghana back in 2018, i only paid $17 for box braid, but since it was so hot there, i had them cut hem to above my shoulder like a bob. It was cute. Now since there are more foreigners traveling there, i heard they started to charge way more.

My braids were so sad after seeing all of those ladies braid in their hair I took mine out and just went with my natural hair pulled back or a little fro. Next trip to S.A. I will get my hair braided there. But I spent like $275 getting braid before that last trip I was not going to pay again or sit for that. Love your channel. I just started my own travel channel only have 3 short videos. Still afraid to really talk with myself on camera. LOL!
