[@lilyschneider6869]

am i the only one who can’t do it because their arms feel like they’re ab to fall off?

[@myadanielle9433]

yes

[@kaylasteele4228]

My arms are too short !!!!

[@morganrambo]

It’s like all the blood rushes out of my arms and I get weak.

[@sonorajonauska9653]

Put ur knees up and rest ur elbows on ur knees when they get tired

[@kaylasteele4228]

Sonora Jonauska sounds easy but I wish I had that ability !! Haha

[@laneyok4416]

45th video I’ve watched. Still can’t do it

[@RD-cf1hp]

Golden ASMR i give up on trying to

[@emilym8845]

I could do only do it when my hair was wet for a long time, so try to do them after a shower.

[@lyzamccracken3901]

Yeah, I’ve given up by now.

[@itstocaevie8074]

I am only 11 I can do it ish

[@krissa5532]

Yep same

[@roadblock6760]

To the girl/guy rewatching this video for the fifth time, about to throw their hairbrush in frustration, you got this! It's gonna come eventually ❤️❤️

[@itsnancyc3965]

Naphtali Brewer thanks :)

[@janellezz9173]

Thanks but I don’t think it’s gonna happen

[@stephaniesullivan5670]

Seriously! I’ve been trying for over a year. I gave up for a while because I just couldn’t get it. I was doing my daughter’s hair the other day, and something just clicked!!! I’m so happy, I finally got it!!

[@yvesnsd]

this is actually talent that people just don’t even recognize like i’ve been trying to braid my hair like this my whole life AND I CANT DO IT

[@meganmassey2017]

Me tooo!!

[@meganmassey2017]

Whole life!

[@clairesorrells2374]

Looks so easy until you actually try it

[@angie_xoxo1920]

Her: So.. I hope you learned something . Me : I learned that I can’t braid my hair if my life depended on it 😕😂

[@luvkathy]

😂😂😂😂

[@JayJay-zz7un]

Elaina Rushing ?

[@calibrisbin9272]

i have pretty long hair and it keeps getting tangled. the concept is grasped, the execution is not there

[@nowrinxxx3329]

My right side is perfect but my left is so tricky

[@Isabelclanc]

Me too!!

[@zoet8180]

Nowrin Xxx omg im exactly the same !

[@luvpcralta9166]

opposite for me

[@luvpcralta9166]

Isabel Galvin ahhhh you aren’t allowed to say that

[@bethstones9957]

Other way round for me

[@Wjdjhx]

Well that's my quarantine workout done for the day😭💪

[@gracelauren1861]

for those of you struggling, i first learned how to braid hair on a american girl doll! it definitely takes practice and you won’t be able to do it on your first try. but keep practicing!!! practice pays off trust me.

[@jaidenenglish6538]

I’m 18 years old and finally just learned how to braid my own hair thanks to this video!! I am SO happy!😭🙌🏽

[@jessecarh9305]

I’m having such a hard time braiding it tightly:(

[@squibblymilq]

Jessica H i would say practice and make sure you are always holding each strand of hair

[@gemmasmart1502]

I’ve watched hundreds of videos over about 5 years and just couldn’t get it. After watching this I got it first time and my all 3 of my girls went back to school with these braids 😂 thank you ❤️

[@Larissa-jt2zn]

Omg thank you so much!! I have been picking up after my initial braid at the hairline and never thought to to do two passes before picking up hair! Mine always looked weird but now I got it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Tw-im8jq]

I can’t do this without lumps

[@savannahtran1632]

me

[@LittleMissB95]

Try braiding while a bit wet or use wax on your fingers it helps for a better grip and it helps the braid to stick

[@mindydiaz9015]

Idk why but girl watching you and listening to u makes my eyes heavy. Not like in a boring way more like a comfort thing. It may be bc I'm running on 4 hrs of sleep so I'm tired anyways. But I like it 🤣

[@kookieshoe4669]

Mindy Diaz sane vibes

[@eviegrace]

Watched this today as I have been trying to Dutch plat my hair for ages but never have been able to do it, watched this once and I could do it! I’m so happy! Thank you so much

[@gracie2944]

omg this was so helpful! I actually found it so easy, once you know how to french braid then Dutch braiding is literally the same thing just go under instead of over xx

[@nataliemurillo3421]

My hair is jus way to thick / long for this I give up

[@zulaikhaaali6864]

Omg I thought it was me I have hella long hair and its so hard to tie it up especially for school ill end up leaving it out 😂😂

[@d.on.in.a]

This is so encouraging! I thought I couldn't do it because I have uneven lenghts and thin hair while every other girl on KZbin seemed to have this thick long even sections of hair. Thank you so much! ❤

[@heatherbrittingham8840]

Holy highlighter!!!😎😎

[@jent757]

I thought the same thing. She looks like Rudolph lol

[@DonnaArnold1981]

😂

[@yorkshireseamstress]

My arms are aching just watching this, but it looks so beautiful on you! 💗

[@zayrodriguez5208]

So much help! Tysm! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do my braids for the longest time now!! This helped so much!! 👍🏼♥️

[@froggo7215]

Girly this was so helpful. Been braiding my hair for years now but it was always so messy. My mistakes were one time braiding of the first section insted of two times, and grabbing big chunks of hair. It turned out so beautiful and clean and tight I can't believe it. tnx so much.

[@McKnightTwins]

Yay was hoping you'd do a video on this hairstyle 😍😍 looks so cute on you!

[@Isabelclanc]

McKnight Twins thank you babe 💋♥️

[@correttasinsungaSA]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING .THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING

[@rebeccamahon3672]

Omg thank you I think I kept going wrong because I always went over not under 🤦🏽‍♀️ any tips for how to stop hair coming loose from the ends and sticking out?

[@Isabelclanc]

Yay I’m glad i helped!! Spray them down with hair spray or hide a Bobby pin inside the braid to pin it down

[@tallygratton7665]

You can go over! That's just a different style :)

[@livlovesriverdale6735]

Spray it and clip it back with bobby pins

[@Fauziia.a]

I think when you go over it becomes a french braid

[@sarahwhitehead246]

I've watched 10 plus videos trying to get this and.... Finally I was able to get it somewhat!! Excited thanks!!

[@Speechless9]

Thankyou this is like the most helpful video I’ve seen ❤

[@jenniferpatel211]

Thank you! I’ve never been able to braid my hair and just tried your video and turned out decent. I’ll keep practicing!!!

[@Kileysummer1]

These braids are everything 😍

[@lavagirl8891]

I’m always braiding my hair And people always ask me “Who does your braids” “do you braid it yourself” 😂 & Tbh this hairstyle is so cute but it’s just to difficult

[@shamailabashir5907]

Lava Girl lol

[@saramueller8003]

Thankyou for the “two braids before pickup” advice. My braids look way better!

[@shush3787]

i didn’t get this tip? can you explain x

[@nkaneti]

I LOVE the thin to thick look and these look soooo SNATCH especially with the blonde and the dark roots, gorgeous!!!!

[@mervegokteke6777]

Aww your hair looks soo cute

[@xoticenigma6297]

I just don’t have that kinda patience for myself to do this. But I love it when she posts funny videos. Just love her sense of humor and acting talent!

[@TheAPJMoore]

I love your tutorial! Thank you! I’m going to give it a go today:-)...this May sound weird, but where is your dresser from??!! I love the simplicity of it! It’s exactly what I’m wanting!:-D Thanks so much!!

[@jesshand2886]

Thank you!!!!!! this was the first time I actually did a full braid (haven't attempted my left side yet)

[@Isabelclanc]

Yay!!

[@bellale559]

DUDE THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOUUUU

[@racheljaid3]

I actually understood this better because of how you explained it, thank you :)

[@ashleyvargas303]

❤️❤️❤️your makeup looks amazing!❤️❤️❤️

[@melissa221984]

Wow , looks so good! The contrast of your roots with the blond make this braid look even more wicked! Looks so good on you . I tried this on myself and it just looked terrible lol:(

[@aishatbakh7060]

I remember I would like watch this when I was 8 (I'm 9) and I would like slow it down and try to do it. So after like 1-2 months to try to make Dutch braids I learned it!!

[@yayajasmin5290]

wow your makeup is so flawless

[@coldqueen9255]

You're so gorgeous, I love your aesthetic! 💗

[@haleyp123]

Thanks for the video! I can French braid but struggle with Dutch braiding haha. It’s nice to have a reference

[@Itsjessldy]

I will try this kind of braids. I always go over. Love your makeup! What camera do you use? Great video 👌🏼

[@ST-mu5hr]

You did a great job! So pretty❤. This is such a great style for people with thin hair☺

[@Isabelclanc]

Thank you! Xoxo

[@lakshirajah1803]

her highlighter is brighter than my future!!!

[@jasminbuenaseda4019]

What helps me when I’m braiding is talking to myself. I’ll be like “left over middle” “right over middle” and then repeat

[@jessicapaucar4902]

omggg this video helped me thank you

[@mel-ec1su]

Girl that highlighter!!! You look like Barbie!! On fleek 💁‍♀️

[@jessicaescalante2590]

I can not do hair at all, but Im trying to learn so I can do my daughter's hair. Thank you for your video! Hope I can figure it out. For me the hard part is the parting and then grabbing the correct amount of hair.

[@rajeevraj6386]

Omlll your voice is so therapeutic queen ❤️❤️❤️

[@Isabelclanc]

Hahah thank you

[@nurjahanaktersmrity8526]

You make this look so easy!!

[@marwakhan8956]

Thank you soooo much I finally learned how to Dutch braid

[@celestinae.8847]

Everytime i braid my hair all my little hairs stick out and make it look frizzy

[@katherinevickgreensage5942]

I love this look and you make it look easy will be practicing and you are gorgeous

[@Isabelclanc]

Thank you so much! 💗💗

[@hemaniparmar360]

i can finally dutch braid! thank you

[@alesha4590]

this helped me so much thank you!!

[@Asumi441]

I remember when I used to struggle with this xD now I can do it with my eyes closed

[@deer1696]

I have to do it without looking, lol. If I look in the mirror, I mess it up. Every.Time.

[@paigecampbell6991]

what about vitamins for hair?can you recommend vitamins?

[@cliorina]

You explained it perfectly, I do the same, but your looks in so much better condition, ur like me u got the bleach on top (which I think when u plait creates a really cool effect); but the reason I usually do this style is so that LATER I get curly hair! And , if that is the effect anyone is looking for, doing this style exactly how u explained is so effective if u do it from wet hair! Just a note!! Xx

[@JD-iz1fn]

My hair is in layers so every time I try to Dutch braid it I always have more than a few strands sticking out. Any advice?

[@depressedchicken1018]

Bobby pin them down

[@hannahohno]

i can apply some mousse or hair gell on it too, prior to start brading

[@jojo-yw5cr]

Grow your hair out or use a lot of hairspray

[@shamailabashir5907]

I would say bobby pin then down

[@charliewilson8573]

hair gel in your hair before brush it through then apply gel spray or hair spray after

[@Kira-bm5yu]

Omg girl ur so talented i cant even do it cause when i try to hold it for even 29 seconds my arms go to sleep like WHAT THE-

[@ynessboukari1009]

Hey girl! How long these can last? How do you sleep with it at night?

[@lukeandrew0905]

This is actually the easiest braid ever I just watch these videos because they’re my favourite to watch 💞

[@carolinesauer4276]

shut up ❤️

[@soovivid1332]

I never understood what everyone meant when they said go under I always thought it was take a peice from the left, braid, then right braid. Lol not both at the same time thank you 😊🙏 I’m going to try while quarantine tommorow

[@HeatherESmith-oz3zs]

Best tutorial. Thank you!! But I still lose my spot in the back of my head when starting to go down the back. *Any tips??*

[@hithere9600]

Your hair is so pretty and so are you

[@matildaxo3413]

i can do it tight at the top of my head but it’s always so loose on the side and bottom after years i still can’t do it neat lol

[@janehall7298]

this really helped, i could do plats, but i wanted to do them like this, thank you xxx

[@jocelynmedina976]

hey we’re did you get you hair bush that u did ur line with?

[@tamaralehel9745]

I could already do it but the very top part was always loose and your vid helped me get it right

[@diyadand2161]

Your hair is so pretty and so are you! Love this tutorial!

[@Isabelclanc]

Thank you!!! 💞

[@amybell4243]

I would say I can do dutch plaits decently but I doubt I could ever do them as neat as her lol

[@meganmassey2017]

Maybe you could explain to me why my double Dutch braids are never up close to my nape at the bottom.. if that makes sense. I hate when it doesn’t reach the very very bottom but ends too soon

[@anaguerrero3466]

This is the best explanation I’ve seen- 4:30 is where it all made sense to me!! 😃

[@cobuspienaar5285]

she's glowing😳👁️👄👁️

[@alymig70]

Ya. Braiding is soooo therapeutic. I’m told I do it in my sleep!

[@Saiege]

Omg okay, it's always doing the first few passes that get me. Because I do it how you would normally braid hair and then just feed in. But it never looks tight or tidy! Now I see it's more of a backwards motion. RIP to me who told my friend I could braid, but she has very thin hair. And also wants feed in hair as well. I have like 2 days to prepare 😂😭

[@andrewharris9406]

Looks awesome! I grew mine out and I get soooooo frustrated trying to do to my hair

[@laddebellaman8196]

Is there anyway you can film high up facing down on the top of your head but your video was so helpfully the way you worded things help a lot thank you so much

[@Jeriah21]

I understand how to dutch braid but at the bottom it gets loose, my babyhairs ruin the look, sometimes my hand gets tired, I dont know how to braid the back without being able to see it, and my braids dont come out tight.

[@ayaxie3758]

Jeriah Quintana same! I can do Dutch braids it’s just super messy and I hate that :(

[@briannamarie9041]

So for each time you add new hair, are you also double braiding? Or did you just double braid for the first section if that makes sense

[@Isabelclanc]

Just double braid the very first little section

[@sagelynncarnate-gallarde1260]

I can finally braid myself thank u for this video very helpful ❤❤💯💯💯💓🤙🏾

[@meghan1250]

I struggle with keeping the hair at the neck tight! It always ends up way too loose! Any advice?

[@claraday8834]

How long does it actually take to do this?

[@nickynin5681]

Do you add hair the just the top and bottom pieces while you braid and not the middle piece?

[@Isabelclanc]

Yes

[@Aimy037]

I've watched so many tutorials on these braids and the braids come out bad. Then I stumble on your video and I try it and they look almost as good as yours. Great tutorial 😍😍😍. P. S. Don't use Biosilk it has alcohol and it's bad for your hair. Use Moroccan oil 😁.

[@Isabelclanc]

Yay thank you so much! And thank you for the tip about the biosilk!

[@eleanoruden]

I used to do this so well when my hair was your length but it’s now super long and I find it so much harder l:(

[@abbiekelly9848]

But which strand do you add the pieces of hair to

[@edithimoedemhe359]

Great job..... Love it 💕💕💕

[@mollymorgan7218]

I love your lip color!!

[@jorjahandebo6251]

yes same i love braiding my hair i just hate that its so think and the fly aways make it so much harder

[@lizey5519]

Is it a thing for the left side to be way harder?

[@laravl1328]

How do you hold your sections ? It's the only I need to understand 🙏 I think your both sides look perfect !

[@Slim.shadey300]

I have really curly hair, and this is the first time I'm doing this hair style! Any tips you give me???

[@mar4986]

A lot of gel!

[@kimberlygeorge3370]

Girl you are beautiful!

[@emmawing340]

I can't do my hair but I love the video and you are beautiful xxxx
