SMALL BOX BRAIDS & tips to get you through

[@shalundaglymph623]

These look so good! I know ppl are obsessed with knotless braids but traditional box braids will ALWAYS be my go to. Do anybody else have to watch multiple videos of other ppl doing their hair JUST to get in the mood to do your own 😅. I supposed to had started on my hair days ago and I have yet to start. I really want the braids but it’s so time consuming. I gave myself an undercut just to cut down on the time I’ll be braiding 😂

[@CrystalBWilliams]

Yes! Love the traditionals!

[@ashdacraft]

Me watching videos to give myself the strength

[@crystalravenell4279]

[@sheenarobertson7704]

I agree I love a traditional box braid

[@sheenarobertson7704]

You did an amazing job Mama sick and all!

[@erika88williams]

Shout out to the DIY box braiders, we got this💪🏾😂#nomorepaying

[@Dreamgirlhav]

There’s no greater joy than to be on the last braid 😂😂😂. They came out so cute though 🥰

[@angelamurphy7388]

I do a last braid dance when I get to the last braid, so I felt your comment lol😅

[@emelyhernandez5459]

You ma’am deserve a prize! Im tired just watching you. They came out so good.

[@cjn3502]

I start with the front of mine 1st too because when the front is done, there’s no turning back lol

[@jujusjourney]

Facts 😅😁

[@SamuelsReview]

Me watching a braider on KZbin: Those are so lovely. I can do that! 2 days into braiding: OMG, I'm not even halfway done 💀

[@kingdomarts2974]

Your did a beautiful job, as a self braider I understand how you feel, I am about to redo mine. Thanks for tutorial.🙂

[@jujusjourney]

I’m about to redo mine as well 😉

[@sunlight8366]

I don’t know if I already responded or not because this is my second or third time revisiting this video, but you did a MAGNIFICENT job and thank you for this video !!!

[@blackqueenlight]

Ive done 8 braids so far i been on break since then 🤣🤣💀🥃 yours came out really good i love it 🥳💖

[@jujusjourney]

😂😂😂 I see I’m not the only one

[@beatricedande5590]

Watching this after finishing my small box braids! Took me 4 days too😂 I’m keeping them in forever 😆 can you do a video on maintenance please

[@jujusjourney]

Next time I have braids I will for sure

[@michaelhector6252]

[@itscyberqueen13]

Your hair is gorgeous. I just finished mine tonight. Took me 2 days to do from morning till night. It was my first time ever braiding my hair like this with extensions. I have never braided my own hair before so I was very surprised it came out ok. Ppl say it looks professional but they might just be being nice. LOL I do wish it was longer but my feet hurt after standing for so long in the mirror for 24" braids ( too close to my natural hair length). I hope it last for a month too. ROFLOL If I do it again I think I will invest in longer hair. I was happy you said how long it took you because I was feeling bad about myself. I think you have more braids than I do but I appreciate that you said it took 4 days. I don't feel so silly now. Thanks for the video. Love your hair.

[@lovemesomeyou8935]

Your hair is beautiful. I was sick with covid while braiding my hair. I started feeling sick on my second day of braiding and finished on the 4th day. It was a true struggle to finish.😳😳😳

[@jujusjourney]

I sympathize because I truly understand this

[@KeziaMercy8778]

I literally came here for motivation! Thank you! These came out really nice! 😍😍👏🏾👏🏾

[@only1pinkpearl]

Thanks for sharing this video. I came to get some knowledge on small box braids, and I'm almost about to say nevermind. Especially after seeing how you were day 3. I appreciate that you finished. Last braid smile may keep me motivated to go ahead and do these braids!! ❤

[@jujusjourney]

Do it! That time frame is for me only lol I mentioned in the video I braid VERY slow 😅😩 my sister knocks hers out in 2 days

[@levelsfoodmealprep6837]

What a soldier 😮. They look so good! I’m trying to do mine and start tonight and finish tomorrow night. You’re giving me the inspiration. I just worry about doing the perimeter the first night and then the next day do the inner. High bun and a headband all day at work 😂

[@jujusjourney]

Good luck! I’m about to embark on another install myself 😩😂

[@crumblesfadays]

The look you gave on day three 😭😂😂🤣🤣🤣 mann I FELT THAT!!! These look great, you did an awesome job!!!!

[@quoiabee1462]

Now I don’t feel so bad about taking 4 days to finish my braids 😂. Your hair looks great tho!!👏🏾

[@jujusjourney]

Thank you !!!

[@rheamccants2227]

Great job. I like small box braids the best. Easier to put in ponytail for workouts.

[@andreap9756]

Sissss when you said do a couple and go lay down I died😭🤣 I felt that

[@jujusjourney]

[@lundisoso]

Good job on the end results. You pushed through and your hair turned out amazing. Side note I love your personality in this video

[@kandacetoney2585]

Great job. I'm trying to hype myself up to do this size with the human hair on the ends 😬

[@arriek.1375]

chileeee you convinced me to take my faux locs out and get some braids😫

[@angelamhaden1451]

Beautiful! You are an inspiration! I intend to do the same. I'll troupe thru it just as you did

[@daniellemartin555]

You did a great job!! This looks soooo bomb!!! inspiring 🙌🏽

[@shanicebell2044]

Thank you for this video. I was watching your video while I was doing my hair.

[@sheenarobertson7704]

Those 4 days were worth it!!! You did that!! Okay I’m gonna try it!!!

[@jujusjourney]

Good luck 😁😁😁

[@patriceoneal8426]

They came out so pretty I’m definitely gonna do some on myself in a couple of weeks gonna try and get them done in two days

[@jarhonda2702]

Wanna try knotless but they may not hold up for the 2months I need. Might need to go traditional

[@jujusjourney]

Knotless will not hold for two months lol

[@Bignat_notthelittleone]

Tip: parting comb works wonders

[@jujusjourney]

Heads to Amazon

[@yoli8587]

You did a wonderful job and they look amazing! But this is exactly why I decided to paid the $200 to get my small knotless braids done in 6hrs versus 3-4 days.

[@jujusjourney]

🤣🤣

[@taylarogers313]

If you're a girl who always wears your braids down like me, i do 2-3 rows of cornrows in the back to save time. I never wear my braids up in a bun so it save lots of time...... And if you ALWAYS wear your braids up in a bun you can cornrows the middle and box braid the perimeter

[@jujusjourney]

Smart 😁

[@geniepyt3123]

Looks beautiful! You did a great job 💕

[@adrianallen730]

I'm loving your hair it's so gorgeous and the colors are just beautiful. I just took my braids out yesterday. I kept my braids in for two months too. I would've kept them in longer but they were hanging too much lol. And I'm so natural that I don't like doing my hair after I take my braids out. My bday is next month and I'm thinking about what style I want nexts smh🤣😜

Good luck! I’m aiming for even smaller next time

[@christinasamalia]

That looks beautiful. ❤

[@randomsurname9090]

You make it look so easy... I am literally incapable to braid close to my scalp, oof.

[@nikitathomas-smith2159]

Oh my, I feel you on the days it took to finish. I'm just learning, and just completed my second install, and this time I started small. It was just a pain. I had to kee p dipping and using the towel as well to lay those loose pieces of hair. Don't think that I will do these anymore for awhile. They are pretty though. Yes I got sick, sick of doing them so small. I found a beginners friendly and went from there. Those ate beautiful.

[@jujusjourney]

Crazy thing is I think I’d do it again (barring sickness) because they looked great for 9 weeks

Love the splash of blond through out your braids.

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

I had small human hair box braids in the early 2000's. It took a week to remove them. I had to go to work each day and resumed when i came home. I cried on the last day because i lost sleep and 20 years latee i remember being slumped on the floor in front of my bed rushing to tske them out. Ive vowed never to do them that small again lolll. I love watching vids and i tip my hat to people who do them but i just wont.

[@jujusjourney]

A week! I feel for you ! Those must have been micro braids. These only took one night and the next morning to take out.

awesome braids look fabulous i braid my own and i save them bucks

[@Jaisha26]

Just did mine a few days ago, but the scalp is itching!!

[@leancabennett8594]

Soak the braiding hair in white vinegar before braiding your hair it's prevents itching

[@jujusjourney]

Taking this tip bc my last set of crochet braids tried to murder my scalp

[@rayaee]

That's the alkaline substance at play. Soak the braiding hair in a part vinegar, part water solution then dry them overnight (or a few days).

[@Jaisha26]

Thank you ladies for the advice!
