[*82*] Natural Hair| Single Braids as a Protective Style

[Lavender737]

wow..that only took you 6 hours. It takes me 8 or 9 hours and I never finish the middle (typically Lazy) I love that color and it looks to me like you didn't use that much hair. Next time I braid my hair I going to do it your size. You hair is too cute.

[jemy1415]

@Lavender737 Oh trust me, I know all about lazy! It can take me DAYS to do it but the only reason why I finished so fast this time around is because I had somewhere important to go and I didn't want to look crazy! lol I didn't use that much hair, about 2 and a half packs. I don't like when it is too bulky and heavy :x. I also braid a little bigger in the middle and smaller around the edges, so that saves time :)

[Livin4Christ83]

I love it ...You can braid really well...luv the color in da back...and the fact you like them lite n not heavily layered ...Looks Nice on YOU

[jemy1415]

@Livin4Christ83 Thank you :)

[omg8o]

Oh my gosh, it only took you six hours to do this?! They look great! I would have been working on my hair for at least two days, I'm a slow braider. :(

[jemy1415]

@omg8o thanks!. I braid pretty fast. I got enough practice lol.

[LavenderScented]

just curious, how long do individuals typically last?

[jemy1415]

@LavenderScented I usually leave them in for a month, although they can last longer. However, I don't like to leave them in for too long because I start to MISS my hair like crazy AND I don't want experience any breakage/buildup

[Lacehairwigs]

wow.6 hours is super fast.well done

[jemy1415]

@Lacehairwigs Thanks! I have been doing my hair for a long time now. As long as I am not distracted, it goes by fast

[dancingraindrop94]

do you have a problem blending your real hair with the braids because my hair is layered n some of my hair is poking out...what should i do?

[jemy1415]

@dancingraindrop94 No, I don't have problem blending and that is merely because my hair is also as long as the extension hair. The only tip I can suggest is to do small sections so that similar lengths of hair are being braided with each other and use a little more extension hair per braid.

[jkslawson10]

Love the color and cant wait to see how-to vid.

[jemy1415]

@jkslawson10 Thanks :)

[sweetdimpelzz]

They look really nice! especially with the colour in the back... I'm going to ask for something like this when I get it done :)

[jemy1415]

@sweetdimpelzz Yeah I like it too. I have never used this colour but I have done it with blond and red and they both look nice as well

[UTubeuzername84]

did u really do those in only 6 hours?

[jemy1415]

@UTubeuzername84 Yeah, I have been doing this for a while now so it doesn't take me too long, especially when I go non stop and don't get distracted by the TV

[TBallaZ]

I thoguht you were going to show how you actually PUT them in technique wise  (. They look amazingggggggggg though

[jemy1415]

@TBallaZ I know :( i thought I videotaped me actually braiding but I couldn't find the footage.. smh but I will do another vid on how to braid and I sorta explained the technique in the description box..

Thanks for watching though :)

[mstiaradean]

These are so cute! I wish I could braid. I tried... FAIL! lls

[jemy1415]

@mstiaradean LOL braiding is easy! keep practicing!! xo

[mightyma86]

It look really really good! What kind of camera do you use?

[jemy1415]

@mightyma86 Thanks. I used a Canon T3i

[TheBabystorm]

nice / i love it!!

[jemy1415]

@TheBabystorm Thanks :)

[blueottlisa]

Very good job. Do you use any gel to install them?

[jemy1415]

@blueottlisa Nope, no gel at all. All I used was my shea butter mix. I try to avoid gel and other products so that I don't get a lot a buildup

[yattamook]

GREAT JOB !!!

[jemy1415]

@yattamook Thank you

[VeePeeJay]

Very nice, you did a great job! Plus you're FAST, it would have taken me all day to do that :)

[jemy1415]

@VeePeeJay LOL yeah, it used to take me days to do my hair but as I have been doing it for years, I got a lot better and faster. As long as I don't get distracted, Its pretty quick :)

[Ariebaby12]

6 hours?????????????? honestly that was really quick considering you did it yourself. please do mine:( 

[jemy1415]

@Ariebaby12 Oh, that's because I have been doing my hair for YEARS. I have the technique down and it goes a lot faster if i don't seat in front of the TV. Come to Canada and I'll do it :)

[finallynatural1]

Great job, I just took my braids out which I had for 2 months check out my vid (finallynatural1)

Again, great job!

[jemy1415]

@finallynatural1 I sure will!... I can never leave my braids in for 2 months. I start having withdrawal symptoms after a month lol
