This is how you braid your own hair | Another Braiders Perspective |

[@IamHzwyfee]

*Pregnancy changes the body in so many ways that don’t go back to they way it was before. My feet grew!🤦🏽‍♀️ I was in a 7.5 now I’m an 8!* *My hair texture changed from med course to soft wavy😳 My skin and nails were the worst but after 3 years I think they’re finally getting better. I totally understand where you’re coming from🙋🏽‍♀️* *I cut mine too and now it’s been loc’d up for 3+ years. It’s so long I’m sitting on it. I started because I didn’t want to comb it every day😅*

[@DuchessBraids]

Lol! My feet did the same thing, 7.5 to 8. Nose spread and ain’t been back, my neck finally starting to lighten back up. So many things! I’m just gonna keep it braided and moisturize my scalp as much as I can.

[@AWholeVibe96]

Omg !! My feet grew from pregnancy also. They got wider! I already had wide feet to begin with 😩 The crazy part is I ended up miscarrying so all these changes for whaaa,!?! 😖😭

[@sharlitawilson6503]

Hey Duchess, you did an awesome job braiding and parting your hair. The entire hairstyle is gorgeous on you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DuchessBraids]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@ShanitaHarrison]

The first half your hair looks beautiful. 😍 Love it 😀 😍 ❤️

[@tamikah.7601]

Im a braided, and I know the struggle. My top bun is my go to. My hair is always last on the list. 😂

[@DuchessBraids]

Girl thank you because my ponytail is my best friend

[@tamikah.7601]

I may do my hair 4 times a year. Lol. So sad!! But I love your work and your products!!!

[@sues4370]

It's okay don't worry about your hair not being on point -not everyone wants to do their job when they get off of work😂

[@Alyssaj1236]

Right!! 😂😂

[@DuchessBraids]

OMG! Now that you put it that way, it’s not just about hair. It’s really not wanting to do your day job at home 😂😂

[@slimtina]

[@SweetPPeaches]

​@@DuchessBraidsAt least you have hair some people have alopecia.

[@SweetPPeaches]

[@StylesByLovey]

I completely get what you're say about not wanting touch your own hair after doing hair. Your hair turned out lovely 😍 ❤

[@DuchessBraids]

Thanks love 💕

[@gynapaul2737]

You're the MASTER!! Even when you braid your own hair!! I love it!! 😍 It came out BEAUTIFUL!! Finally get to see your gorgeous face! Enjoy your get away!!

[@DuchessBraids]

I need to show my face more often because I feel like ya’ll don’t know me like that 😂😂😂

[@mzkelz68]

I absolutely love this style ❤ I can’t wait for my grand daughter to do this on me. We watched the video and she is super excited as well. Thank you for the detailed instructions! 😊

[@DuchessBraids]

No problem love, I know everything is fast but I’ll make sure to slow it down a little next time

[@sylvialovesthemosthigh2764]

You make the difficult look easy. Thank you and Happy 🇺🇲 4th. 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@DuchessBraids]

Lol Thank You! And Happy 4th to you as well! 🫶🏾

[@staciejones303]

Every woman who has kids can relate I am not a professional but doing my daughter's hair and mine is really hard most of the time my hair is in a ponytail but also like you I want to start taking the time for my hair

[@DuchessBraids]

Yeah we gotta do better! I should be a walking billboard forreal 😂

[@TheBlessed1427]

You are beautiful Sis, and it has been a pleasure seeing you being the client!!! So used to seeing you standing, it was nice to see you sitting down😊. The style looks great on you!! Your friend did a great job on the back. Your talent is off the chain ⛓️ ⛓️ Have you ever considered trying a brace on your wrist while you're braiding? Maybe give it a try, that may relieve the tension as you braid. Your natural hair is really nice. Don't cut it okay🤗. Remember, always stay blessed. Much love to you and yours always ❤️ 🙏🏾❤️

[@DuchessBraids]

Awww thank you love, it felt good sitting down as well 😂😂 at the end I wish she had done the entire style 😂

[@TheBlessed1427]

I know you mentioned that. It was just nice, to see you relaxing and getting your hair done 😅😅

[@elizabethspells5361]

Oh listen I was braiding since I was 10 as well so for 20 years don't nobody touches my hair. I stop braiding my hair because I was braiding to tight and it was pulling my edges out. So I stop and turned to the wigs for a lole 2 to 3 years. I decided to go back to braiding my own hair listen the struggle is definitely real. I never struggle so much doing my own hair. So I just turned to the boho braids. Where there's a will there's a way. Love your channel. I definitely see myself in u when ur braiding.

[@DuchessBraids]

Aww thanks girl, yeah I feel like I braid my hair too tight as well! But I need to get back to it so I can keep something in at all times!

[@elizabethspells5361]

Okay, see know i don't know what I love more ur bathroom. Or ur hair😂

[@rhodadowell2033]

[@tanishatownsend3257]

Beautiful as always !!!

[@Angel_Hearted50]

I fully understand. For me its knowing how to do hair, but being a single mom to a 15 young male on the Autism Spectrum. Then working with my own limitations after back to back injuries. Using a shoe lace to, headbands, is pretty normal. I am just thankful that I found Head and Shoulders 2-1 and went back to using my fave for styling and conditioning my hair; Worlds of Curls Activator Gel. I only have to apply the Gel maybe twice if three times during the week then wash weekly. My hair has stop breaking and shedding. This is definitely less is more.

[@daisyfrey681]

Looks so good!

[@CrazyNaturalPrincess]

Beautiful! You did an excellent job❤

[@teshamiller6001]

Sis guess what?! Your hair is still beautiful! You can tell it’s coming back and it’s got great shine. And no 3 years is not too long to connect it to pregnancy! Those changes are hormonal and mineral related and can take YEARS to normalize after a baby! You’re doing so good with it, just keep protecting it like you are and keep your scalp healthy with massages and some good oils. And btw you are so pretty and you have beautiful eyes girl! Ty for sharing, And it was so sweet of you to think of your braider’s fingers while purchasing the shorter hair!😂😂

[@KathLeenSirG]

This video was the inspiration i needed for this style 😩😍 im trying this next & then boho braids tooo 😍😍😍 super pretty 😍

You did a good job…I did the rubber band method with a little afro my arms was tired wanted to do the back I said O “H” no. I see why I only did a single ponytail when I had a lot of hair.

You said that perfectly because I slay everyone else hair.. whewww Chile when it comes to mine I will rock my puff ball in a min because braiding your own hair is a time i have before but prefer NOT❤❤❤❤❤

Absolutely loooooove this style ❤❤ you did an amazing job sis. This could be my next hairstyle.

[@luckyfair5174]

That is really cute I want my hair done like that

[@CharTurner6928]

There is no shame in treating yourself to getting your hair done. Why should Hairstylists be different from everyone else?? #TreatYourself! Duchess, "I've been braiding my own hair since I was 10". Me, 🫤 "my grown struggle-braiding azz feels personally attacked"!

[@DuchessBraids]

Lol!! I’m tickled at the last sentence 😂😂😂

[@TraceyJean]

I hear you. I figured out the French braid in my twenties, but the first time I tried to braid my hair I was 45. Before that, the ponytail was my life but I had to do something new because the hair was thinning and breaking where I placed the ponytail. I'm still terrible with starting the braid but I'm learning and I'm proud of myself for trying.

[@JamillaWorsley1986]

As always duchess you slayed this style on yourself. For starters i wanna say my arms hurt just by watching you braid the top of you head 😂😂😂😂 my arms get tired quick wen doing the top of my head. I would definitely love to see you do a video wen you do the top ovr. I would definitely love to see you do the Fulani flip over method knotless braids that would be super dope. You’re dope as heck for doing your hair since you were younger. That’s talent as hell. I love how this turned out. How long did it take for you to do the top of your head

[@DuchessBraids]

Girl tell me why that’s what I planned on doing and was like, that’s too much, let’s start a little simpler. 😂😂😂 but that’s what I was planning next. Thank You!

I understand the struggle. I used to spend my whole weekend doing my 3 girls' hair, and when it came to mine. I just cut it all off and started rapping my hair. I had worn scarves for years and then let it grow and be only low Halley Berry styles or go natural and have a fro.

[@josephbrown7319]

Awesome!

[@mslanette1972ify]

I am not a stylist and I grew up that if a stylist hair is not like done or neat as they want it. It means they are tooooo busy to do their own hair, and they are a great stylist.
