I learned 2yrs ago (thanks to the pandemic) how to braid my biracial son's hair (I'm white 🤗) and with practice I've gotten pretty good. Now others (with way shorter hair) have noticed and ask me to braid their hair like his 😳... any tips with shorter hair? I mean like barely 3 inchs short 😅... also what braiding gels or paste do you recommend? I try to make sure I know the texture of someone's hair but I'm still not sure which product works best for which hair texture 🤔. PS: those box braids were fresh! So amazing!

[@NiqueLynn]

Thank you for sharing to be honest, I really don't braid lengths under 3 inches as it is very difficult for me to grip especially for box braids. I would suggest letting the hair grow out some.

[@Yesu44]

That was dope 👌😎. Hopefully once my hair is at that length I'll do this style 😊😎. P.S: I didn't catch the last thing at the end. What oil you used for hair growth?!?!?

[@NiqueLynn]

Thank you so much. I use Tropical Roots Growth Oil Spray amzn.to/2MoTt1h

[@lupitaestrada-arroyo6767]

Love them!! How long does it take you & how much do you charge for something like this?

[@NiqueLynn]

Its takes about 2 hours...and about $80.00

[@marielguante8110]

What products do you use??? And what do you do to the ends once your finished??? Do you tie them up or leave them be???

[@NiqueLynn]

Products are in the description section. I use rubber bands at the ends

[@davonburrell9744]

Any tips or routine to maintain the braid for that texture of hair?

[@NiqueLynn]

I think making sure that it's covered at night and keeping the scalp moisturized is key

[@ilmom]

ma'am I am living in Turkey and no barber here is competent enough to do my hairline like that... do you have any tips? I heard that for braiding you need to start not exactly from the start of your hairline and leave some hair there, cut them short and continue from a finger above. is that correct?

[@NiqueLynn]

Turkey, wow that is amazing. Just my thoughts but it really depends what the client wants. I have some client’s that really have a defined hairline that is separated from the style. Then some clients hair even at the hair line is the same length of the rest of their hair. From what you described it sounds correct. My husband is a barber as well and my next video will be a collab on men’s braids 😊

[@slimsleepy262]

What products did he use on his hair ? And does he only get box braids ?

[@stressedoutbluebelt5397]

What's the name of the background music while you're doing his hair? So smooth.

[@NiqueLynn]

I’m not sure of the exact name, but I use Epidemic Sound for all of music selections.

[@ipappim7336]

I tried doing this by myself and i couldn't properly section it but my mom (who doesn't have experience on box braids but can do cornrows) did it perfectly now im jealous cuz idk how to braid neatly Edit: i keep my braids for abt a week and i take a bath with them on how long should i have them on and should i take a bath?

[@ipappim7336]

@@rachelak2701 i shampoo my braids it doesnt get ruined tho

[@youuglyhuh]

Question! i’m growing out my side taper and im trying to think of styles that would essentially cover it it up until they’re long enough to braid.. is this a good style for that???

[@NiqueLynn]

Yes another style that sometimes works for that are the pop smoke braids especially if your hair is long enough at the top that the sides can be caught in as the hair is braided down. Hope that helps 🙂

[@ttee4677]

Can u use any type of gel?

[@seydz.3rd]

Can you do a hair growth tutorial because I’ve trying to grow my hair for so long but nothing works (4c hair)

[@cdvibes6938]

Try wild growth oil from your local beauty supple put it on your scalp that’s how I grew my husbands hair. He could never get it to grow before I met him and now his hair is almost as lengthy as mine

[@ipappim7336]

Conditioner everyday shampoo every other day take vitamins

[@NiqueLynn]

4c hair typically needs plenty of moisture. Some say using the LOC method has really helped them with moisture and length retention.

[@bigboypants8565]

how long does one's hair have to be to get a box-styled braidup?

[@NiqueLynn]

i think typically about 4 inches

Question I hope u answer quickly so is bottom 4,5,6 and then the top rows are 2,3,4

Will this still work if my hair on top is kinda long but I don’t have any of that “neck hair” or the ones on my lower head.

[@NiqueLynn]

Wherever your hair is long enough to braided it should work

[@mellym6368]

So at the bottom you braided 4 then continued to braid 5 in each row?

[@NiqueLynn]

Hi Melly, here is a video with a full breakdown of the parting kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqe7oqh-mLt2nJI

[@lillyflores2165]

How do you get the beginning not to loosen off the head as you braid down i always have that issue

[@NiqueLynn]

Try splitting the base in 3 equal sections prior to braiding, that may be helpful with the grip.😊

[@willowslikepillows]

My boyfriend currently has an afro that's getting quite long and large. He loves the length, but wants to be able to wear hats again. Will box braids hinder his ability to grow his hair even longer? He's wanting to eventually get locs when his hair is a length he's pleased with, so I mentioned the possibility of box braids until that length is reached. What do you think? (If you reply, thank you for taking the time to read this. I truly appreciate it 😊)

[@NiqueLynn]

Hi Cheyenne, box braids would probably promote even more growth. 🙂

[@TomBrady-fg1rp]

What do you use at the bottom of the braids to hold the braidS ? Are you using rubber bands ?

[@NiqueLynn]

Yes I’m using rubber bands at the end

[@kaleyxkenshin4683]

Does Shine n Jam tame the frizz as well or should I use a different product?

No it doesn't matter, it's all preference. However I don't start with a slight cornrow for my box braids.

I have a question. When I do box braids on my husbands hair the tails of his braids tend to curl inward towards his neck, how do I prevent that from happening and make sure to keep the tails of his braids stay straight?

[@NiqueLynn]

That is a great question. Two suggestions. 1. Braid all the way down as far as you can. 2. I wouldn’t suggest this all of the time but you can always take a flat iron on low heat and run it over the ends. Hope that helps hun! 😊
