[@ashleyoatts4830]

So what about over hand braiding?

[@VandyVanity]

Great question! Will demo it for you in this week's video

[@LegendoftheGalacticHero]

I don’t do hair but KZbin said I needed to check my tuck game. I’d watch again 👌

[@coachkc5308]

Oh how I needed this video because with braiding my own hair, those ends be the killer on me.

[@coachkc5308]

I actually did it. Took me longer but was really worth it

[@charleight.9034]

SAME!!!!

[@lashandashirelle4478]

Going through it right now thank you for this video

[@lacieglaab5899]

Have you ever tried "Braid dipping"? It seals the ends nicely and makes them smoother. Boiling hot water, a container for the boiling hot water, and a towel. Super simple and makes a huge difference.

[@coachkc5308]

@@lacieglaab5899 Yes I do that, but my main problem with my natural coily hair was making sure I could blend the ends. Sometimes I would be so frustrated I just cut the dang ends of it. Watching this video really did help me with improving that skill.

[@deedoubleyou9987]

I absolutely admire your level of knowledge and professionalism.

[@anilaasghar5303]

Soo true

[@livannal.t.9068]

and her voice!! she narrates clear and precise. its delicious

[@nikitafamily9779]

From a mother who taught herself how to do box braids for her daughter because of Covid. Thank you for this tip no one explained it the way you did. Wonderful.

[@amyeethomas2495]

❤

[@simphiwezungu2124]

Had a hairstylist cut my untucked hair off once when I had relaxed hair, my sister caught her and I gave her a piece of my mind. I hope many stylists see your videos

[@indyat.8450]

Not me binge watching her videos the day before I braid my hair😭

[@throwmilly]

Same here, especially since I'm doing really short uneven hair later, of which for me is so much harder to tuck and keep tucked .

[@Roro-tp4bv]

Same here 🤗

[@Sagebigmountain]

how tf i do this on the back o my head

[@anneshirley9560]

That’s what I was wondering. I guess this is when friends come in? She did an awesome job though!

[@gabb5]

And that’s mostly where I need it too 😭

[@carpediem1620]

😂🤣 right!!!

[@leonora9433]

I placed a mirror behind me and a mirror before me 😅

[@cosplaynicky8222]

Thank you for explaining how to work the hair beautiful in de braid. I'm a big fan of you! Thank you so so soooooo much 😍🤩

[@cyyrious]

Q:Is your tuck game on point A:HELL NAWLL Me: I need to watch

[@amberhess6717]

I love hair and have always wanted to go to school. You know sadly, even if I did go to school, the only way to learn this is from a pro like you. They just dont cover all hair types in school. That should be changed. You are so thorough and professional! My niece is mixed and I literally can not wait until her hair fills in more so I can play with it! (No I'm not going to be adding any hair to her while she is young. Still want to learn for later on. I'll be doing cute protective styles while she is little) My sister isn't good with hair so I'm going to try learning! Thanks girl!

[@angelalopez4259]

I just love you tutorials. So helpful. I’m a beginner. Always had someone doing my hair but now I want to do it myself. Practicing on my own hair has been challenging but your videos have walked me through it!

[@raginVocals]

I'm a one and started braiding in 2021 when i realized nobody was going to be able to do my hair. My Tuck Game is HORRIBLE but I learned everything that i was searching for just by watching your video. So thankful that you uploaded this class. I'll start my daughter's hair again with that in mind.

[@ladyamba1]

I got it! I love this! This technique reduces the likelihood of your different colour hair showing along the braid! Reduces people knowing that your hair is a different colour than the braid, reduces the spotty look...I'm good! So-o-o-o excited!

[@deeviousrat]

thank you thank you !! i’m doing my own braids for the first time because no one i know in the area does them and this was so helpful! 💛

[@gekkekensa]

Ive been braiding for 19 years( not proffesionally, just as hobby) but this has always been an issue with my daughters hair. I NEEDED THIS THANK YOU

[@allisonisntaboomer329]

I literally have ginger, wavy hair and have never wanted box braids or any kind of fancy braid. That being said, I have now started to watch all of your videos.....☕

[@larsland]

Hullo, same. Here to stay.

[@faithjulian753]

Same. I have wavy 2b hair and can’t even wear braids of any kind because they give me a headache. I am absolutely mesmerized by these videos. Your talent and ability to explain your technique is amazing!

[@megdalenagonzalez-mounce1776]

Your tuck game is legit!!! I would say I'm probably like a 3 or 4 on my tuck game, but I bet my next time I'll do much better.

[@africanrosebeauty]

I want to start doing box braids for myself because of the current situation. I would be an absolute beginner and this is very clear and helpful to know what to do. Thank you ☺️

[@CK_Loves_Tea]

I am absolutely a 1. In just 3 episodes I have learned SO MUCH. I’m white & based in New Zealand, but my partner is African American, from New Orleans. I do their hair. Finding resources has been a real challenge.

[@comeandtalkwithme3296]

I am about 7 or 8 use to braid all the time but haven't done it in 9 years and alot of new techniques. Thanks again for all your help be blessed.

[@lifeasniya2]

Thank you🥰!! So happy I found your channel! Sending love from NC📍🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@alazarberhanu3443]

This was Really helpful! Beginner ✋🏻 White Mommy learning to make my daughters' hair amazing! Thanks! Will continue to watch upcoming videos!

[@amyt2861]

Thank you! I love your videos! Really helping with braiding my daughter's hair and doing a better job every time!

[@samszczelaszczyk7223]

Lmao love the sound effects and the emoji’s. Appreciate the schooling as well

[@sergiosiler608]

I'm learning sooo much from you! Thank you braking this process down. The video was great!

[@carasarai4592]

your braiding videos really helped me doing box braids. i did someone else’s box braids yesterday and it turned out really well

[@ericamarty2002]

This is so helpful! My tuck game could use some work. LOL! Thank you for this!

[@keniagomezperalta531]

First vid I’ve ever seen of this girl and..I love her😂love woman tht put others onto what they know🙇🏻‍♀️

[@neekbuck3242]

Girrrrrrrl I've been struggling with this for years THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!

[@kalyncelestine2477]

thank you thank you thank you. i’m so glad you slowed it down and showed everything. i’m about to try this right now!

[@CuTTeNiNi]

You are an absolutely gem 🙏🏿 Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us ❤

[@robyntaurusbeatz703]

WOW!! Thank you sooooo much!!! You just saved my day. Yours is the only video I will need in order to tuck my ends. True talent and mad skill mizz Braidstress!!💪💪💪😍👌👌👌

[@kimmee1064]

I needed to see this! Thank you!!

[@KaylaJTaylor]

Omg. I get my hair cut often but I also like to put braids in my hair but I’m just starting out on braids. I alwaysss have very blunt ends and I’ve been searching high and low for a technique on how to actually braid and tuck. Thankkk you!!! 💕

[@heatherehrhart1812]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been braiding for only a few months (licensed cosmetologist for over 12 years) I was so close to giving up and you have helped me break through and I am so grateful! Keep those videos coming Sis!

[@zanichar]

How about tucking hair in twists? I like to alternate between the two but, I'm unable to find videos on that twisting and tucking technique.

[@yayaslocs6877]

zanichar honestly (for me at least) I do a off brand box braid **very small** then I do the twist around that, and use a crotchet hook to little BB into the twist

[@royalfamilynewshottopics3927]

I am so glad I watch this I didn’t know what to with the ends when the come through the braids thank you so much sharing

[@doratheacarpenter9424]

Today was my first time watching your content, and must I say I enjoyed it very much, I've been trying to learn how to braid, but my frustration comes from music, others play or the speech content 🙃 Thank you for being so professional and the video is spot on. keep them coming.❤

[@jessicamcneil715]

Thank you so much. I am most definitely a 1 😆 especially when it comes to my natural hair. I'm practicing though. Thank you for the lesson.

[@ssrb9406]

Yeassssssssss so many ppl starting our need this info!

[@DanceMr]

These videos are so detailed. Just what I needed!!!

[@NaturallyLaceyE]

I love your sense of humor lol can you do a video on feedin tucking? Please

[@VandyVanity]

For sure!

[@TNT31414]

Everyone that watch ur videos appreciates you! Happy New Year!!!!!🎆 I come back to this specific video often as I’m still learning and want to reassure that I’m doing hair correctly ☺️🤗Thank You!

[@VandyVanity]

Thank you Happy New Year 🤗

[@NiqueLynn]

Okkkk Sheila Yasss!!! 😂 I am surprised I havent't ran across your channel sooner GREAT content!😍

[@alvinadesir5801]

Best braiding tutorials hands down... Thankyou so much, like very much, from an absolute total beginner on self braiding extensions 😥😥😂😂😍

[@offorifunanya4361]

This is the tucking tutorial I've been looking forrr🤗🤗😍

[@whesochinasa7646]

Thanks a thousand times. You are just amazing

[@jacquelinebanks1660]

Lol your faithful model. Always on time.

[@loverin23able]

Great videos, I love how you go slowly and carefully explain each step and then zoom in as well. Amazing content, new subbie thank you!

[@ginajohnston5007]

Wowww this is so help!! I leveled up

[@miexmie]

Thank you so much. I’ve been styling for years and I’m definitely at a solid 2 lol. I’m so glad you made this.

[@bluemackeral]

I love your commentary, too funny like when Sheila thought you were gonna cut her hair 😂 had me ROFL. And as an owner of stiff, asian hair I need more tuck game, my braids look like caterpillars 🐛

[@Bryella831]

Thank you!!! This stumped me. Now I got it!

[@user-zu9cw2xq7f]

Thanks! I needed this today & it popped up! 👍🏾

[@thais9298]

Eu amei! As pontas do meu cabelo sempre ficavam saindo das tranças, mas com a sua dica e usando um elástico no final para prender deu tudo certo 🎉❤ I loved your video! The ends of my hair were always sticking out of the braids, but with your tip and using an elastic band at the end to secure, it all worked out fine 🎉❤

[@panashetangai3980]

This channel was heaven sent😭❤

[@BeautifulNaturalCurls]

You are a wonderful teacher and Braider. I learn so much from you. Thank you so much for all you pour out.

You are God sent! 😍

[@Chalcedony6421]

I have finally found a good box braid guru. Thank you for this channel

[@marianarosario3653]

I had this doubt for a loong time, bc I always braid myself, and it worked perfectly well, until I cut some curly bangs (which I loved) but my hair was splitting too much in this area, and I had to redo these braids within one week. Next time I braid my hair, I'll definitely try your recomendations ♡ thank you so much and I appreciate your braiding skills ♡♡♡

[@tashatate5102]

I did my hair and made so many mistakes but I’m gonna keep practicing

[@kashoutcece1265]

[@chanellejade6206]

[@BrownBlasian]

That helps because I have hair type on my Asian side🙄🤦🏾‍♀️ and my hair always stuck out at the ends and now I realized I needed more hair and to tuck more!!! So helpful

[@hannahmusic3]

Thank you thank you THANK YOUUUUUUU❤😮❤🥳🥳🥹💕💕💕🥹🥹🥹💕💕💕💕🙏🏽🙏🏽 braiding hair for my daughter and I was having a hard time with her hair sticking out ..thank you it is challenging but with your video im super encouraged and motivated

[@VandyVanity]

Wonderful! Glad to be of service ❤️

[@zipp6c19]

30 seconds in and I love the video already

[@jaylo1256]

I'm glad I found this channel

[@anighazarian3624]

Heyyy I just wanna say a huge thank you.Im a white girl and grown up in en environment there were no people with textured hair.I've always liked braids and done simple styles like cornrows bt never knew how to add hair or yarn to it let alone knowing about tucking.last night I came across your channel and up till 3am watching you videos.This morning first thing i did was grab some yarn and braid my hair and at 4th time i could tuck perfectly.I'm so happy love you❤

[@afp57]

I’d say I’m a 7! If you’re paying- -probably a 9. But don’t ask my daughters - shamefully with them I get a little inconsistent. I’ve been braiding all my life - and learned techniques by watching a braider 1 or 2 times and then doing my thing. With these quality & educational videos like yours, I can actually study the techniques. Thank you for taking the time and for sharing 😊

[@MzBri318]

Just found your channel and I love it..have to binge watch from the beginning

[@Yacoba_Israel]

Thank you. You also let me know about “scamming the system”. Now, I know what to look out for.

[@thandi44]

You're braiding game is unmatched sis

[@hmontana271]

Yesss thissss is exactly what i needed

[@hopekaen3199]

Love Shiela!!!

[@LuvsEmbrya]

Thank you for your videos!!❤️ I almost gave up though . It is definitely a learning curve, this time it took me 4EVER to do my daughters hair, but I almost did it perfectly. I braid soooo slow. But I was afraid my fingers would cramp and lock up. It took me 5 days, yep 5! No cramps though and not hair sticking out!! Finally done - after all those hours and days THEN THE WORST HAPPENS!!! I put the mouse on top AND ALL THAT WORK DISAPPEARED AND THE NATURAL HAIR FRIZZED OUTSIDE FROM THE TUCK!!! 😱😱I literally wanted to 😢 I get exhausted every time I think about it. Thanks in advance!! Would you make a video on the following: 1- no frizz when mousing at the end 2- portions for feed i hair or feeding braids 3- when to feed how many times for desired length 4- speed

[@genesismendez5318]

I learn something today thanks you 🥰🥰

[@elliot8522]

This is super helpful, thanks! :)
