Thank you for sharing! This method actually worked for me! I have thick, bra strap length hair and cut down time on taking my braids out!

[@prettywitty77]

So happy to hear that! What was the total time?

[@lexi.d.s]

Baby when you found that last braid 😂😂😂 It legit takes me all day to do anything to my head because I be playing and taking like 1800 breaks lol

[@SheReaDelSol]

I KNEW sis was lying 😩😩😩

[@quiquithomas6592]

😂😂😂

[@GigeeRobin]

Right

[@teresaamanfu7408]

The comb in the video had wider teeth though.

[@tashietyler5966]

First of all girl you made me click on this video faster than Jackie Joyner Kersee. I currently have medium knotless box braids and planning on taking my hair down tonight! Even though it will take longer than 20 minutes it is the creativity for me sis! It will still cut the time down some!! Usually medium size takes me about 2-3 hours alone, usually have my husband help me. Lol Thank you both!! lol BLACK GIRL MAGIC ✨

[@prettywitty77]

Tell him to grab a comb! Then you’ll be done in 20 minutes FOR REAL! 🤣

[@nieceypiecey100]

Not JJK! Lol we know how fast that was! Lol

[@breylkly]

Currently 6 hours deep into taking out my small knotless braids watching this video 💀😭

[@beesimone3073]

So the method didnt work for you?

[@xiamaibelie]

Same, sis same😅

[@blkbeauti05]

It’s all fun and games until you want these damn braids out. I want them out like this very minute. I’m going to start the process now and hope for the best 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@jenns4448]

Same 😂

[@mykendra1]

“Shoutout to my neck” sent me. 😂😂😂 I just love you girl. Great video as always.

[@prettywitty77]

I didn’t think it was THAT heavy til I took it down! 🤣

[@mykendra1]

@@prettywitty77 😂😂I know the struggle sis. Feels like a whole new neck and head when they’re gone. But yours were fire while they lasted!

[@samanthajackson4953]

Yes I laughed to hard on that one. Cause I am experiencing this too. Thought it was just me 🤣

[@mykendra1]

@@samanthajackson4953 you are definitely not alone. 😂😂

[@naturalbeauty2178]

I most definitely will try this when I take down my box braids but with a larger comb, conditioner and water. Because it always takes me longer than 8 hrs to take mine down because of my hair type and a lot of hair on my head.

[@j.alicesimon3623]

As I was getting ready to take out my box braids I found your video. Thank you so much for the straightforward and realistic advice on how to speed up the process of taking out box braids!! You save me so much time with this tutorial

[@dounaage]

That one braid at the back in the end got me 😂😂😂

[@nicolehicks361]

Lol at the look of finding that last braid! 🤣 I can't stand when that happens to me..hahaha Great advice..thanks!

[@prettywitty77]

Lol! No prob! 💙

[@staciep2638]

I think that method might break your natural hair at the ends

[@Ashholaay]

Okay this didn’t take me 20 minutes but honestly it took me 4 hours to take out my smedium knotless braids. This hack definitely cuts a lotttt of time!

[@tw1954]

It take me an hour or 2. I be moving fast lol.

[@vxmpghvst]

crying girl cause the fact it takes 7 hours just to get my braids but it takes me a whole day to take them out is insanity 😱😱😱

[@animalluver3700]

I guess this is my sign to take my braids out tonight. I was already thinking about it but now I might do it

[@prettywitty77]

Let me know how long it takes! 👀

[@amanisuter3757]

Haven't taken these current box braids out. But my previous ones I got out quick. The real hack is to french braids the braids. Two french braids for smedium knotless. Then I cut, lower than I needed and unbraid, and use the comb for each of the three braided sections on each side. Took be under 90 minutes. Your welcome. ☺

[@martinajohnson8966]

Girl! When you realized you had one more braid….😂😂😂 oh I felt that!!!!

[@angeleyes8350]

I get small feed ins. I usually take down the middle all week and pull in a bun until I have 2 rows on the perimeter and handle that on the weekend. I can't be bothered to sit 6 hours to remove my braids.

[@lacheazure]

This is what I think I’ll do.

[@kendraj8139]

Yup! That’s me!!!! All week long! Using covid as an excuse just to have time off from the world - just to take out my box braids! My poor man been watching me through this entire crazy picky head process!😩😄😋😘

[@victoriasvibesss]

I do the same thing most of the time!

[@rebekahwatts2904]

I never braided my hair before until this year and the first time I took it out it took me 9 hours lol I feel like this brushing them out technique will really help this time! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@LaytriciaWilliams]

I took down my braids yesterday after having them in for 1 month and 2 days . My daughter said that they still look good which they did , but it was time to take them down, she did a good job . Kids helped me so it took 2 and half hours.

[@EndlessloveMy1]

That's how I have been taking my braids down for years. It is quick but not 20 minutes in my experience

[@fabLady1]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Taking my braids down tomorrow and i was dreading it, not NOW 🎉❤❤

[@elisafuentez8531]

I have braids to calves , med. my hair is to my butt of my own. One thing I do is put coconut oil on tops to let soak so easier to comb out when braid is gone and just pull oil through braids so it’s slick to unwind. Used to take me 5 hrs w oil 3.5

[@cloudsgirl2938]

Girl thanks to you i done my hairs like in 2 hours ussaly it take a day. Sharing this method really help me out take my braids off quicker and good luck to ur 100K subscriber

[@weirdmyst7963]

I usually take my back down and twist it and then tuck it under a ponytail. It stops the headaches I get from the dead hair. The weight of 100 strands adds up daily and you don't even know

[@bukunmio2338]

It takes me like a day or 2 💀

[@rainahcaldwell]

O wow I didn’t know you did them yourself.I thought Destiny did them lol yeah I’m a day one boo Periodt 🤣💙

[@celestialmaat9462]

Great video! I thought it was going to be something I didn’t know but at least the knowledge is out for everyone else now!❤️💪🏽

[@inspiredbyDev]

I have to set aside a whole day for the prcoess. Its take down/detangle/ wash and style day!

[@rosilandscobey3185]

When you found that las’ braid!! I’m bout to start my take down-kinda feelin like I should have started earlier 😬. We’ll see 👍🏽

[@weirdmyst7963]

My braids takes like 2 hours to take down. Not bad since they usually take like 5 to finish. I usually get mini's since my hair is thick and kinky. It's a relaxing time no lie

[@mariaclayton9892]

I have had mine for 4 and a half months. It's a record. I just perm the roots. I know it's crazy but I treat by braids like my own hair. About to deep condition!

[@jeanninegorden8142]

I never thought to use a comb and detangling brush to pick out the ends during the takedown

[@spiceyboogerspiceybooger6437]

This weekend my started off shoulder length now mid back length braids are coming out. Will try this method.

[@senseisecurityschool9337]

I'd be very interested to see how it works for you if you used a much wider tooth comb like the original video did. Also some oil and/or water for lubrication. Just some thoughts after spending hundreds of hours trying different things on my daughter's hair.

[@Aaliyahs747]

Since I'm a child, I have smaller and faster hands and my moms. So it is pretty easy for me to take out my braids. For me it has to take 40 to 30 minutes to the max

[@brucewayneology]

luckyyyy, usually takes me like 6hrs.

[@marcewalker5486]

Sis sold us a dream 🤣shoutout to my neck tho 😩very entertaining while I’m currently taking mine down 😩

[@Arealparalegal]

Use a bigger combination with bigger braids. [Wider teeth]. Also use a warm water and cheap conditioner mix to saturate the braids adding more slip.

[@bihkat7335]

For box braids girl about 1 hour it depends how big there are or you take breaks for locs I takes about 24 hours cause I take breaks on top of breaks … box braids are easy !

[@lenny_00]

Your hair is gorgeous! 💜

[@jazmin5807]

It took me 6 hours, I also had butt length box braids, I wasn't going to risk cutting my hair LOL . So one by one I unravel them.

[@kaleeevans2376]

I think the method could work if your hair is really short and you have a very specific hair texture I think the thickness of your braids also matters. If only this could work for all braids😂

[@tatyanafoskey116]

Took me less than two hours to take down 24in long, medium/small braids. My real hair length is layered but my longest strands at the bottom reach my lower back.

[@CrescentMoon149]

THANK YOU for this real and doable video 🙌🏿

[@LiCarol]

SHOUT OUT TO MY NECK!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I FEEL YOU!! SO FUNNY😂

[@rainahcaldwell]

Oh I’m loving the new intro

[@himhersoundoff]

Super fast! Beautiful as usual!

[@ashleydavies1678]

This was hilarious 🤣 but also super helpful… dunno about 20mins but definitely saved me a couple hour

[@wesleyguy7970]

I just used this video to help me take down my 4 year old daughter’s box braids for the first time. Mad helpful. Thank you sis 🙏🏿

[@chaimayotte4602]

I always start next day finish and wash day

[@bethywethy9]

It takes me 2 days (on and off) to lose my hair, maybe more 😭

[@peafav9382]

Girl it takes me at least a day and a half.

[@michaelbyrd1683]

It works for short hair. Half of my head in 9 minutes.

[@alexandracarter02]

it takes me 6-8 hours and when im at college i be doing all nighters sometimes w this

[@NinaColombiaEgypt]

Oh wow I've been doing this for 3 days and only got like maybe 10 total undone haha gosh where were u 3 days ago. I'm gonna try this in the morning

[@annettesamuels-davis6957]

It's been a while, bout 6-8 hrs w/breaks 🤩 but I use an oil spray to lubricate the hair

[@MIZZBADDAZZ23]

There’s a tool called the unbraider made for this works better than a normal comb and would be done quicker

[@cassandraw942]

Here’s to the strong neck 🤣🤣. I would be rockin that after braid look too, I love big hair! P.s. I have never worn braids🤷🏾‍♀️. Glad this technique worked somewhat.

[@prettywitty77]

I bun’d it for 2 days because I needed a BREAKKK! 😭

[@cassandraw942]

@@prettywitty77 i understand!

[@utujecleopatra3450]

It takes me 6-7 hours to take em down

[@workinprogress2512]

This is not new just depends on the size of the braids for it to work out and the shorter you can cut the hair first will determine how long it takes.

[@bigvon1235]

Yeah i would do this for bigger braids but small box braids not happening 😢

[@twill1007]

Chile I watch KZbin, take small sections, cut my ends and proceed. Not sure how long it takes , cuz I just be chillin and watchin. Couple hours maybe

[@Carlisho]

Last braids I got took me 6 hours to just undo them, then another hour to wash and brush my hair 😭💀

[@LaytriciaWilliams]

I’m crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Shout out to my neck .. yooo

[@johnnyr8603]

Let me tell you taking out braided hair is a full-time job on its own! When I go to the salon, it takes them four hours to put in my braids. every time I go to take them down on my own it takes me about two hours sometimes two hours and 30 minutes. The last time my roommates car had broken down and he asked if I could give him his girlfriend a ride to Walmart. I was in the middle of taking out my box braids, but I still took them to the store. I’m literally walking around the store while taking out the rest of my box braids 😂😂

[@jo329]

What brush are you using?

[@shaqueengraham7395]

2 days

[@daughteroftheking9392]

When you said run that s*** back....😆😆

Guys be careful it will probably cause breakage and then u will not see any grow❤
