Save Time on Knotless Box Braids With This Preparting Method ✨

[@simplykennedy8358]

I’m a 16 yr old braider who’s been braiding for a year and realllyyyy want to get faster with my knotless. It’s the only style that takes forever probably because I’m a perfectionist and go over my parts a bunch of times. I just want to get faster for the sake of my clients and for myself because standing so long wears on my body. I have 2 clients this weekend back to back getting knotless this weekend so y’all pray for me! I will try this method and try not braiding down the ends until the end. Hopefully it’ll help with my speed!

[@N7ssaG]

Same here girl I’m also 16 and I have a client today and Friday for these braids. I hope we both make it 🥲 but keep grinding we only 16 and have many more years ahead of us to get better and better💜

Everybody is confused by the cornrows 🤦🏾‍♀️ it’s just to keep the hair separate while you figure out the parts. You can also use rubber bands, clips or whatever works best for you to achieve clean parts!!!

[@yazmynscott2917]

I really don't see how that's confusing 😂😂😂😂 Bless you for typing an explanation 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@angelasmith1122]

I was just thinking rubber bands might be easier 😬

[@mnm5509]

As someone who braids their own hair this method seems like it would make the parting process sooo much easier

[@hijabedforAllah]

This is how I presection my hair when I'm braiding my own hair. Moves much faster. Been doing this for over 20yrs

[@florarose1626]

[@berryberrystylish]

I’m a beginner so I’ve been studying! I enjoyed this planning a lot!

[@annag3601]

Yeah right to you doing this for over 20 years lol you look great

[@TheVideti]

Ive been braiding my own hair for years, and this method makes a lot of sense. next time I braid my hair I will presection the night before. thanks for sharing.

[@mrsrizzo4028]

planetvict0ria that is exactly what I was thinking. Parting and sectioning is the most time consuming part of the process.

[@deejay306]

At first I thought this was going to be crotchet but it's just simple old fashioned technique its all in how your part the hair and basic excellemce on braiding! I learned so much just watching this expert. I love when i can watch and learn something new - especially about something old! Thank you for sharing this!

[@nevaehharris4990]

I do braids! This method does work much faster especially with the knotless braids ! Parting takes up more time than you would think, good to get it out the way first! However, I usually jus clip it instead of braids.

[@moodyslvt9271]

Watching people part hair is so relaxing to me 😭 I LOVE getting my hair parted. my absolute favorite part of getting my hair done.

[@lashondamcknight2644]

I used to do this when first starting out with my knotless. Now that I’m faster and can map out the clients parts in me head, it actually slows me down I realized. But definitely a good technique for those just starting out !

[@shaavonsage7285]

I see a lot of people in the comments confused about this method but for someone who’s been braiding for a while , this makes perfect since to me !! I’m definitely tying this out I could save a lot of time!

[@SlayingitWithRay]

Thank you!! It definitely saves time. If they’re a real experienced braider they’d understand how this could help.

[@shaavonsage7285]

[@shiindilonia8748]

@@SlayingitWithRay How long it takes to finish?

[@genevagreen551]

I do this as well! It does saves time and guessing as well! All she did was pre section the whole head to make sure everything would be even at the completion of the style "beforehand".

[@deondriacary3903]

Organization!! I love this idea. It helps keep them all the same size, and visually see how much you have left to go! Bomb job girl 😍 I will mos def be trying this next time when I do my daughters hair.

[@necolesettles1720]

I can see that, plus being a braidstress myself, this will help because once you start to braid you can keep up that momentum. They look great!!!!

[@SlayingitWithRay]

EACH ONE TEACH ONE TIP FROM @BRAIDED_REBEL ON IG!! THIS VIDEO WAS 2 YEARS AGO!!!! FOR UPDATED TUTORIALS CHECK OUT MY OTHER VIDEOS ON MY CHANNEL. The method is just preparting your sections before braiding. This makes the process faster and it allows you to know exactly how many rows are left for you to finish the head. *YOUR SPEED DEPENDS ON YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH BRAIDING!!* if this method isn’t for you that’s completely fine. This isn’t for beginners. I’d refer this method to more experienced braiders. *I USED 8 PACKS OF EZ BRAID HAIR*

[@angelamarshall1819]

I like this method it does help.I braid as well!

[@tinaikujegbe8735]

When I first saw this video, really, I thought you were out of your mind for parting the hair first, sorry for the harsh word. I already braid really fast, but for some reason, I decided to try it, and I can't believe it, it works, it makes sense. OMG. Tfs

[@BLAqKGURLLUXE]

Slaying it With Ray I am stuck in the house due this history pandemic and was starting the journey of doing my hair the parting takes for forever so this idea definitely will help as I am in no rush to go anywhere. This will help me

[@amberskye290]

I think inexperienced braiders are underestimating how much time pre-parted sections can really save.

[@ladyofwisdom2]

Beautiful braids. The sectioning and corn rowing was a great idea to remain organized and to prevent making certain braids or sections too big. 👍🏻😍

[@StopSelfDoubting]

I finally got the technique down to a science. Yayeee go me! Now I just need to work on gripping and parting.

[@Dominiforelli]

I don’t see how ppl can be confused. This is the most easiest way to do knotless braids or any braids. Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@michellesmith8912]

Those braids are so lovely. I'm not a fast braider, I hope this helps me Saturday when I do my daughter's braids.

[@madgiemadgie9128]

I was fast forwarding a lot so initially I was confused by how cornrows transformed into braids.. BUT once I watched the video without skipping, it all made sense. This is a genius method and I will use it today. It will help me gauge my progress better. Thank you for uploading.👏🏾

[@lenajackson1331]

The four sections method works for me but I'm always willing to try new things... Going to compare timing between the two methods to see which saves more time for me. Your braids are absolutely beautiful... Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@SlayingitWithRay]

I just did a comparison today. I wasn’t able to record. The four sections took me sooo much longer than this method.

[@stephiebreezy]

Slaying it With Ray yeah this looks more simplistic. I usually take 9 hours too. I need to try this but I’ll try it with a bob.

[@acmcgowan751]

Well, if that saves time, cool. Nice hair style. I like how she cares for the hair with the oil. A lot of branders should care for hair during their prep time.

[@mottie77ful]

The braids are so pretty and neat. They look like that last for a longer time than the original method.

[@skholiwezondi986]

This is another level of being organized ma'am... I love it

you are right. it looks time consuming but it actually saves you time

I love the knotless braid so much, it's not heavy on my head like he regular box braids...

[@eurydicehamilton6349]

I'm considering doing my own knotless braids and this really helped me. This is the 2nd video I seen someone who presections the hair

[@jenniferlovelace55]

They're nice! Awesome job! I think just parting individual pieces and clipping a large section at a time would save more time.

[@coachkc5308]

I think that I'll do this method when I do my own hair. Looks like it will save the headache of that loose hair getting braided in and messed up parts.

[@ChiannaNycole]

What a great tip, thank you! I'm doing my own so this will be added to my night before prep.

[@jgood896]

Most of those "confused" comments are coming from non braiders, I assume. Because if you are, you know sectioning off, pre prepping hair, being organized, etc. is important if you or your client don't want to be there all day. This is a great way to keep braiding without all the stopping and starting, which is inevitable when braiding. Great video!!

Sectioning the hair first will save time. It also allows you to know how many rows you have left while braiding. It’s less of a hassle this way.

It also keeps the hair you're not working with out of the way better than rubber bands or clips. It also takes way the time used to keep repositioning hair not being used at the moment. Ideal for long hair!

[@luvbriiiii732]

Sectioning and braiding an entire head is two diff things. Maybe she should have sectioned everything and put a ruberband on each section instead of braiding it which takes unnecessary time. 🤷

The cornrows are just for presectioning purposes. You don’t have to do cornrows. You can substitute that for clips, or rubber bands. It’s just easy to keep everything in place this way for me.
