How to Man Braid Your Own Hair - Mens Long Hairstyles

[@tehj1543]

I think a lot of long hair style videos assume you have had long hair most of your life and you know the basics. This video doesn't and is really helpful. Thanks!

[@nanes332]

Wooo you teach better than all the woman I've been trying to watch in order to do a braid. Thanks

Four years having long hair and I've never watched this video. I'm braiding my hair every day now thanks

[@grahamwalsh7]

This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen on braiding thank you.

[@esztertothtefy]

Omg I watched your previous video first, then proceeded to this one. I just used youtube search, not moving inside your channel so when you showed your previous video as a help i was like..wait what? Your video? Like I didn’t realize it was the same person because here you have longer and more hair and it changed your image so much like aaaaaaaaaaaaaa my head just exploded. Hair gives a lot to a man’s image y’all

[@thomasinaction]

Hahaha Surprize!

[@aaronm9158]

Cannot express how helpful this was. First few minutes in and it's all just "clicking" inside my head. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@franciscop2650]

Omg my 1st attempt at braids came out so great I just twisted and used my root finger to do all the work and they came out great!!! thanks for the great tutorial.

[@ryanremenap5616]

All of the sudden, I had a spur of wanting to braid. This was the first video I clicked, and it was super helpful! Thank you so much!

[@thomasinaction]

Glad you found it useful! What part did you find the most helpful?

My wife loves you because you are the first person to actually teach / show her how to braid hair like that. Great great video. Very helpful...thank you so much :)

This video made me feel bad about making my gf do it for me for so long. However, it also increased my respect for her even further.

[@Thebigboy641]

I started watching your videos about a year and a half ago. I thought you would be happy to know that I actually have long hair now. As long as your hair in this video. Thanks for constantly inspiring men to grow their hair

[@PyQoGaming]

I've looked for so many videos and you went down to the most narrowed and big points ever upclose thanks for sharing.

[@sparxravencroft]

I am going to be rewatching this video a lot. This has video has the clearest instructions ive come across. Thank you!😊

[@Seeker887]

Finally! The technique is learned 30 years ago. Cut it , by the time it had grown back I’d forgotten it. I decided maybe you tube could help, this was probably the fourth braiding video I watched. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@jayvonnoelsmith8445]

Exactly wooo you teach better than all the woman I've been trying to watch in other to do a braid.

[@TNorville101]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to braid my hair for about a week, watching other videos. Not even understanding what my hands are supposed to be doing. I'm working on the plaiting and my hands are moving much easier!

[@moorheadsky]

I could have used this info so many years ago. I'm glad it exists. It is shocking how hard it was to find a video of this. I searched for this exact thing months ago. then it just randomly pops up now. Evil evil evil algorithms.

[@rho6315]

Damn thanks man this is a really good tutorial! :D

[@thomasinaction]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@m3lty137]

I always wanted braid my hair by myself bcs i have long hair on the top, on the sides my hair is not as long as on top maybe the half of it my hair on the top comes beneath my chin but i just looked up " how to braid your hair by your own" and your video was the thirth video and it actually helped me for the basics

[@miguelupload555]

This gentleman right here has taught me how to braid my hair. Good stuff, thank you

[@Ingu.z]

Oh wow, the finger grip is a game changer. Here's my tip for perfectly parting hair (had really long hair for years), it's super simple. Before the hair is fully dry (don't brush wet hair), take a brush or comb and pull back. If you angle and steer it properly then one of the teeth of the comb or brush will have made the scoring for you. Then you simply stick your fingers in between and there you have it. It's by far the fastest and simplest way to part hair in a straight line, and it's the cleanest of them all!

[@oliverkoch8211]

First try, very easy to learn and understand the steps

[@Flayed221]

Thanks for this. this helped me a little better than the last one because I've never had the undercut and was wondering how you did it with the completely long hair. I'll have to practice

[@thomasinaction]

No problem. I understand it's probably easier to understand what to do as opposed to actually doing it. But everything I said in this video is perfect for getting started.

[@jadencasarezwattpad]

Just a thought for new tutorials: teach the beginning from the front, but when it starts to get tedious, teach it from the back. I find it more tedious because I feel like I'm having to translate the mirror reflection of what is being done. If that makes sense. But, honestly this video made it easier to understand what to do.

[@thomasinaction]

Hey man, thanks for the suggestion! I will have a think about how I can convey that. It sounds like a challenge but there may be a way to do it.

[@nicks4802]

Took me like 15 minutes to get past the first part where you mention the rude finger crossing hair over…. My brain just couldn’t figure out what was the right thing to do next from my own perspective…. But I figured it out….. I’ve got a hit of a lopsided plat because I didn’t portion out the hair properly, but it looks cool. Im like a pirate now. I’ve got this messy, spiralling piece in my hair. I dig it. Thanks Update: I’ve done it twice more as practice in the last day, and its looking proper now. Practice makes perfect

[@thomasinaction]

Hahah keep it up! With a bit of practice you'll get it! The foundations I covered in this vid are only the first step. Thanks so much for swinging by.

[@MangoBased]

I finally got platting down with this but I have curly hair so it feels like it is everywhere, which makes is difficult for me to keep each section separate.

[@aaimaalam7726]

try doing it after combing your hair lightly or wet it/add some product, it makes it more manageable

[@0gami1tto]

My hair goes into proper ringlets, and when I brush them out it makes it even harder to do this lol. I find having your hair a bit dirty, like a day or two after washing makes it easier

[@MangoBased]

@@0gami1tto Maybe I should try this again, now that I've got longer hair. It hasn't been cut for about 5 years.

[@Textraaa]

It’s so frustrating to learn. But thank you so much for this help :)

[@kecoleo5150]

Notes: Hand and grip is super important for the muscle memory. Your hands do the same deceptively simple sounding thing on repeat. Thumb and forefinger pinch, middle fingers transfer. But remember once one hand only is handling a single strand… SWITCH it from your middle finger GRAB to your Thumb/forefinger PINCH! I started thinking of this pattern: L(left)M(middle)Grab R(ight)SWITCH RMGrab LSwitch LMGrab RSwitch RMGrab (Repeat) Then practice that a lot. Redoing it again and again Then… practice that on top of your head… a lot… Then try to add the hair in… At the same switch step I found was the easiest.

I’ve been growing my hair out for 2 months now and I’m getting to that point where my neck hairs are getting out of control. I don’t want to make a trip to the barber shop because I don’t want them to mess up my progress. And I don’t feel comfortable trimming them myself, so what should I do about this?

[@maxvandijk2001]

Just wait. I know it's hard, but just wait. Cutting isn't making it longer

[@thomasinaction]

I would go to the barber but with a very specific instruction. find pictures of what you want and looking deeply in his eye to let him know how serious you are about no fucking it up.

[@mellamodiego8458]

how long do braids last in your hair? also how much should one expect to spend to have this done? thanks

[@finnic7959]

All depends on the type of hair you have. Wavy cury hair will keep the tension longer. Straighter hair especially if it's layered may fall out or get frizzy after a few hours if you don't have product in. Practice makes it go faster. One middle braid on a good day takes about 1 minute for me, I can do it while walking down the hall. On a bad day 5 minutes or more especially if there's going to be more than 1 braid or other styling things like Bobby pins or hair spray. I have straight hair. The longer the hair you have obviously a touch longer.

Hey, Im from Puerto Rico and i found your hair growth documentation today. I have hair similar to yours and I always kept it short and said "fuck it, my hair is shit" but after watching that, you gave me inspiration to grow it out. I dont really have a defined hairstyle, just about 3 inches up top and half an inch on the sides. Should I go for an undercut before growing it out like you did, or just go from here?
