[skgcheer]

SO pretty! (:

[gabichou26]

@skgcheer Thank you! :) 

[ItzSienna]

I really like how your hair is natural looking not like nowaday everyones hair has thick side bangs. Im growing mine out (their already at my chin:) ) But anyways ill get my mom to braid my hair cuz idk how Lol

[gabichou26]

@ItzSienna Thanks! :) This video is really old though haha. Good luck! :)

[TheKatelynEdwards]

Oh my gosh i love it(: Btw how long did it take to get your hair so long my hairs like right above my boobs. not being nasty but thats the best explanation i got. lol(: but yeah how long do you think it would take

[gabichou26]

@TheKatelynEdwards Hah, thanks! :) It basically took my whole life hahaha. I can't remember ever having cut it dramatically. Haha I gotcha. Honestly there's sort of a natural limit to how long your hair can get? It's different for everyone, but mine gets to about mid-boob (LOL) before it starts thinning at the ends. But the general rule of thumb that I've read online is about half an inch per month or something. Also, try not to wash your hair too often. It damages it! Hope this helps. :)

[TheKatelynEdwards]

@gabichou26 Haha (; thanks for the advice

[gabichou26]

@TheKatelynEdwards You're welcome. :)

[gabichou26]

@86htify Aw thanks! ^_^ I'm glad you liked it! 

[IlVortexIl]

1:53 Looks like an angels hair!! So pretty, and this is the perfect way to get gorgeous hair in seconds without damaging it with any heating tool.. besides it is said that if you sleep with your hair braided it helps it to grow faster, its not a fact but.. who knows? Now i just gotta learn how to frenchbraid, ha. I´ve done my hair in 2 reg braids last night and im about to unravel them, hope it turns out well, maybe not THIS good because of the lack of volume at the top but.. anyway. Thnx!!

[gabichou26]

@IlVortexIl That is so sweet! Thank you so much. And it is a great way to curl your hair without damaging it. Also when you don't have time/don't feel like blow-drying! Hope your hair turned out well! :) 

[beeutifullcre8ion]

[uofawildcat48]

Very cute....I want to do this to my hair!.......Thx sweetie, you are a very pretty girl...Wait til ya grow up..!.....lol..........Thanx for the Vid!

[gabichou26]

@uofawildcat48 Haha, well this was two and a half years ago, so I guess I have grown up a little! ;) Thank you!

[uofawildcat48]

@gabichou26 ....No, I just meant when the boys start to show up...it was a compliment ......guess i should have of said that...lol

[gabichou26]

@uofawildcat48 No, I knew what you meant! Sorry if *I* was confusing... No worries! :)

[nabd777]

I do this for my crazy curly hair and it makes the curls SOO MUCH nicer! you have beautiful hair. the color is amazing.

[gabichou26]

@nabd777 Thank you! Aw, that means a lot because I didn't really like my hair color for a long time, I thought it was too in-between. I like it now though. :)

[rachellikescookies]

is your hair naturally straight or curly?

[gabichou26]

Truthfully, it's kind of a frizzy wavy mess naturally. :) Sometimes I use anti-frizz and spray curling gel to let it curl though and it looks okay. :)

[OooStaciooO]

EGAD! lol that looks so cute!

[gabichou26]

Haha, thanks! :)

[MHFunVideos]

I LOVE THE RESULT.. do a video on how to frenchbradi on yourself.. i can only do it on other people .. :(

[127blackheart]

UMM HOW DO I DO A FRENCH BREAD IM REALLY EMBARRESED OF MY SELF LOL :d

[gabichou26]

Aw don't worry about it haha I can't do big ones on myself either. All I can do is a small one in the front, like Lauren Conrad. But the principle is, you take three strands at the front of where you want your braid to be, and then every time you bring a strand over (like a normal braid), you add some hair from outside those strands you already have. Check out user Loepsie on YT, she has a video for it.

[DeeMenard]

it looks very pretty! since u have long hair it helps too.. i cant french-braid tho.. boo

[gabichou26]

Thanks! User Loepsie on YT has a video on how to do it. I still can't do big ones on myself though! ;)

[DanceCandi701]

ooohhh this is sooooo cute i like 2 do this cuz it works betta than just braiding it!

[gabichou26]

It does give more curls doesn't it?

[a7lashoco]

nice!

[aarzu786]

Hey can you do a video on how to do two french braids, I know how to do one but I can't do two for some reason.

[sammiesupafly]

can you do a video on how to french braid?

[gabichou26]

Well, I might, I don't know. :) But if you want to know right now, basically what you do is you take three strands as if you were making a normal braid, but everytime you bring one of the strands over, you're gonna pick some more hair from outside the pieces you've got. Does that make sense? Hope I could help. :)

[ForeverJake14]

wow thanks .. hehe it looks good :]

[gabichou26]

Thanks to you!

[tsbuddy1]

i do this all the time!!! so its glad that shared it with everyone before i did!!!

[gabichou26]

Yeah, I really like it! I think I read about it in a magazine. :)

[adamfan123]

u seem like a very stuck up girl.

[gabichou26]

Wow, thank you! I'm sure you intended to help me improve my character by posting that.

[lulita1234]

if u do smaller braids the waves will look better

[gabichou26]

Do you mean many smaller braids? Because I can't really make the two braids smaller. :/ Thanks anyway!

[lulita1234]

i mean loads of little braids all over the head, thats how i do it, try it x

[calypso694]

you look good with hair like that

coming from someone who has really curly ringlet hair like bed springs or claudio from coheed and cambria though not as poffed out and big

[gabichou26]

Ah, ringlets are really cute! :D

[calypso694]

thanks

[Rapunzeladmirer]

Cute waves, it seems french braid is even better for waves than normal braids no ?

[gabichou26]

Yeah, definitely, because they curl all of your hair whereas regular braids only do the part below your hair. If that makes sense.

[Rapunzeladmirer]

Not sure it makes sense to me... (I'm not a professional about hairstyles)

[gabichou26]

Yeah, me neither. I just meant that French braids go up the sides of your head, whereas regular braids only start below your ears, so you don't get as many curls.

[Rapunzeladmirer]

Now it's clearer ! Long live french braids.

[coolgirlwatsup]

cool

[jlauralee]

beautiful. i used to do this to my hair all the time, my hair was all the way past my waist. don't ever ruin your hair like me- by too many chemical dyes and getting it bleached! :(

[gabichou26]

Thank you. I don't dye or bleach, but I am sort of a flat iron addict, when I don't do the curls thing. I have the ionic excuse. ;)

[Elinitsam]

Gabrielle, Your hair is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I'd love to see a video of the full length of your hair.

[gabichou26]

Hey, thanks! I'll try to give you a full view in my next video. ;)

[hewwostar]

why do you not move your mouth when you talk?

[gabichou26]

I guess I'm a ventriloquist! Yet another talent of mine.

[bu3bood86]

You look Great :D

Great video -- thanks!

[naladarb]

how lame!!!!! u smell funny

[psycofloyd]

You look wonderful either way :)

[gabichou26]

Thanks! :)

[pushedin]

yeah, you're hot as guts

[Dezdrums]

looks good but i liked it better braided

[gabichou26]

I think I'm traumatized out of the double French braids, because it makes me think that I look like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Or the redheaded Wendy's girl. Hehe. Thanks though!

[Dezdrums]

good on ya mate!. we dont have wendys im in sydney australia so i dunno wat that is but dorothys mad ass haha

[gabichou26]

Wendy's is a fast food chain. Haha.

[shellbiiird]

Wth!? MAn we have Wendy's!

It's an icecream joint!

[Dezdrums]

yeh man yum but they have some weird burger thing

[starlightbabyy]

Can you show how to do french braids? In two like that? Please! Thank you :D

[gabichou26]

Sorry, but I'm a big baby and I can't make them myself--my mom does them. ^^

But basically you take three hair parts to make a braid but keep some hair out of those three. Then each time you... knot? you add a little bit of hair from the part left out.

For two braids you just do the same except you separate it in two at first, of course. Hope this helps. :)

[starlightbabyy]

Yeah, it definately does. Thanks so much :) And you're totally not a baby, if my mom knew how to french braid i would make her do mine too :D ahahahah.

[brecahalley]

Yayyyyyyy!! :D 'Tis pretty. I should do that one of these days. Not that I need the French braiding to make my wild and crazy hair curly. But I do it when I want a neater, more contained look. :D

[gabichou26]

Hehe. Thanks.

[Courtney32690]

not bad, pretty good, did you put in mousse or anything?

[gabichou26]

Just anti-frizz heat-activated curl-maker spray.

^^
