[@Blessednelly_]

Sooooo are you coming to do this for me or nah? I ain't got the time lol..

That style really fits you💕

[@Rayann410]

thank you curlfriend!😘 girl this about to be my go-to so I can save time getting ready in the morning lol

[@mrsjusttobeme1]

I did this on my daughter’s hair and it lasted about 7 weeks. I did wash her hair about 2 times within that time. She loves it and I do too!😊

[@RochelleRenexo]

mrsjusttobeme1 wow that’s pretty good

[@gutgutcalor9095]

How was the take down process

[@ogeo.8966]

​@@gutgutcalor9095probably just like taking down knotless braids but way easier cause no extensions are used

[@ww-rh7hl]

My mom used to do these for me when I was little I’m glad they’re coming back😀🤗

[@AutumnStardust]

Same! I always requested she did this style because I always felt elegant and feminine. 😍

[@stephanies9071]

@@AutumnStardustyup, versatile, it's simple and nice. 🙂

[@dthabee2256]

winn. ! I’m 15 and still do this style 😄 can see the growth already

[@b8bydoll252]

Right. My mom would do it with the multi colored beads.

[@shanna88world96]

Same! Anything but my mom brushing my hair every morning with tears in my eyes

[@TertuNdokosho]

I love this style. I'm so focused on my peace lately that I don't even want to be slightly inconvenienced by heavy, plastic extensions on my scalp. Definitely recommend this. It's a protective style and it's so comfortable you won't believe it.

[@sophiaayalew5207]

That feeling when you're done 😝

[@Rayann410]

girl!😂no greater feeling lol

[@maqdasabdiqadir7121]

And then you see u messed them up 😡

[@GirlSproket]

I don't even want to THINK about the takedown time...... Ugh.

[@Rayann410]

lol it wasn't too bad. got it done over a course of 2 days (4hrs total)

[@GirlSproket]

Rayann410 Not bad at all. 👍👍I usually keep my hair in two-strands, and depending on my level of commitment, it can take up to 8hrs to takedown, deep condition, and detangle them.

[@Rayann410]

oooh girl I know the struggle, I want to do twists next now😊

[@mima_piedade]

I choose a movie or a tv show I can binge, sit down and do it, when I realized I'm already done.

[@monaghazali4207]

it takes me 8 days

[@LexaKarlynVlogs]

I would have all of 10 braids on my head without extensions 😂

Beautiful...i would keep it way longer than 2 weeks!!!

[@Rayann410]

thanks curlfriend! I wanted to keep it longer so bad after how long it took, but the humidity here had my hair super frizzy within 2 weeks lol

[@eftg3450]

Yeah I'd kip 2 to 3 months ,rebraiding in between ofcourse

[@scorieshair]

@@eftg3450 that's a really good idea!

[@joyfullifestyle2665]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that does this with my hair. Never seen people do it but I love doing this style. It last longer and is easier to care for.❤️

[@zuzanasrbova2301]

How do you twist your hair so it stays?

[@joyfullifestyle2665]

@@zuzanasrbova2301 braid at the roots and put leave in conditioner at the ends to curl and if needed small jell or aloe Vera if you’re like me and hate jell

[@Toya1016]

Do you feel like it helps retain length? I just put some in last night and they’re just around bra strap length so I’m worried about breakage 😣

[@chkmebu]

Super cute! I wish my hair wasn’t so fine so that i could pull this off

[@Syncere93]

I ADORE YOU FOR THIS! Every time I look at the videos for this they always use weave and it looks good and all but I wanted to know what it would look like with just your natural hair. So thanks again hun I'll definitely be doing this! Plus you now have a new subbie!

[@breprice8531]

I tried this and it took me agessssss but the feeling when you’re finally finished 😁

[@KarenRoyal]

This summer I plan to wear my in chunky cornrows. Like 2 to 6 cornrows. Depending on how much I'm up for braiding my own hair. 2 to 3 on lazy days 4 or more on my not so lazy days. And my cornrows usually lasts about 1 to 2 weeks

[@yolandaschartner9345]

It's really pretty! I can't seem to get the braid close enough to my scalp. Thanks for sharing. I'll keep trying.

[@Kstaynthemjz]

Yolanda Schartner you have to braid Under for plaits.. That was my problem b4 also.

[@courtneynicole767]

I love it so cute! I use to wear my hair like this ALL the time in middle school. I'm transitioning now and have been wearing a wavy ponytail for a few months but I'm sick of it. I thought about how would I look as a grown woman with plaits and found this video. Thanks for sharing 😁

[@crobin77cr]

My bff just sent me your link, and now I'm a new subscriber. I have natural hair, and really don't know what to do with it, so I keep braided. Hopefully your channel can give me some ideas. This looks really good on you, but I know I wouldn't be able to do it myself.

You could do it. Or maybe even start with chunkier braids or twist

[@MERTIE123]

I'm getting mine done tomorrow. I love this

[@JustMe327]

I thought I was the only one braiding my hair without weave and curling it at the ends. I did learn how to part it in 4 sections because otherwise I would just start in the front instead of the back. I used to use the weave for length until It grew as long as the weave, so now i just box braid it but mine is not as neat and as nice as yours because I am always in a hurry and I dread taking them down, so I don't braid them too small. I also have s problem with my hair being white at the roots. Im not old but my hair is. I wear my hair in braids under a scarf or a wig, mainly a scarf because I don't have a wig that will fit my head lol. but that alright, tell em' toots. Say that's alright! I will be making my own wig because I don't want to cut or color my natural hair.

[@jaysthetic]

this was very detailed and easy to understand, i'm gonna try doing this, i hope i have enough patience

[@adriennebrown1040]

This video is lovely! I have short curly hair and have never really explored any cool hairstyles. I'm definitely see if my mom can do this for me tho😂

[@zuzanasrbova2301]

How come it stayed like this when you just twisted the ends?

[@krob9145]

It turned out beautifully however I can see 2 products used if you don't count your DIY shea cream. The gel and that hair polish spray.

[@Rayann410]

polish spray is an optional finish not a necessary product curlfriend😘

They look gorgeous they have that dreadlocks image but then you can take them out😍😍

[@6AncientCharms9]

I've been doing this to my hair every week for the past 3 months or so and I'm new to transitioning (the first time I tried I failed miserably) and this is the first time my hair grew and stayed strong at the edges. I've been using cheveux noirs, softee Indian hemp, and softee argen oil styling gel when I braid. It's doesn't look nearly as good as yours but I've gotten used to looking strange because it helps so much. I look like a spider the day after I'm done and it chills after I've done my daily rinces. But it would be nice if it didn't do that in the first place. Maybe I'm just using too many products? Or maybe it's because my damaged hair is still longer than my natural hair. Idk. Maybe I'll try using one product this time.

[@Marcie_does_it]

Calm Catalyst How do you keep your ends from unraveling? I’m transitioning also and would love to try this style.

[@6AncientCharms9]

StarMarcie Do it when it's wet, after you're done with your treatment for washday. Use styling gel and grease Braid them as tightly as you can Twiral the ends likes she does in the video They're still going to unravel as the week goes on if you rinse your hair everyday like I do but I'm not great at doing hair, braid especially, so you might have better luck than I will 😅 hope that helps

[@Cleekia]

i like doing mini twist but youre mini box braids love youre result

[@sameerasalah2006]

Soo.cute❤️❤️so neat❤️❤️😊❤️please any technique on how to unbraid 😢😢😢I tried it once but the take down was 😫😫😫😫i love them but i hate the take down 😫😫😫😫

[@lets_gooooo9074]

Super late reply, but once you begin the initial take down, hold two of the strands it should unravel like a ribbon.
