[1caramelbaby]

That's a long and painful technique

[TheAlucard5789]

[icandysam107]

Tight but beautiful I usually carry my Asprin with me when i go to get my hair braid cause i like it a little tight but what kind of hair are you using

[383Danni]

O hw I luv micro's?Bt i dnt have the patience for them,cuz my hair is too lng.

[MzLoren21]

[SunShineBeautiful585]

these braids are beautiful i am so inspired this is what i want to do after im done with school im 18 i do hair now and it soo funn for me and when i first started i wactched so many of these videos now im just as good as them ; )

[smartgirl1891]

can u do this braiding method with synthetic hair or yaki pony hair?

[TheThikChik]

its cute but way too tight...looks like her hair is gettin ripped outta her skull though. good thing i kno how to do my own now...300 is definitely a outrageous amount

[natural4lifemiss]

they are braiding it way to tight holy

[spoiledmama30]

@MzMike05 that was $300!! It was so NOT worth it. That's and outrageous amount.

[spoiledmama30]

Wow that's looks like her hair it too tight. She will have some hair loss. It looks good but definitely not suppose to be so tight u can't lay down. That's ridiculous. That's y I braid my own and keep folks out my head

[omegaharrington17]

THERE PRETTY HOW MUCH DID THEY COST

[aREALfemale1]

Dose it hurt

[dlg0120]

you ladies rock! good job!

[grandladyducesane]

wonderful job ladies, it is tight as hell but i learned the hard way, don't piss the lady off that is braiding your hair. its worse when they handle permed or relaxed hair, get it done when its time for a touch up

[sne19]

i would never sit down to get my hair done. it hurts, and then to pull it out gosh. it looks good though

[kammese]

she look like her head is hurting! lol

[Theonealways1]

I always wanted to know the secret to how Africans makes the braids so supertight that it hurts ths scalp and some people can't even lay their head down.

[1616chriss]

[TheMsAbiola]

[Tennissgirl]

[lilcoconut1]

[diamonds454]

i use to hate when Two people worked on my hair... yess its less time but half of my head would be looser than the other and then half of the hair would fall out before the other -____-

[MzMike05]

SHE PAID ABOUT $300 FOR THAT.... BUT ITS WORTH IT!

[FuschiaMelanie]

All I know is that MY ass wouldn't be doing it . . .

[misslildutch]

that must be painfull



[crazyazzbossbish]

i know that take down had to have been hell!!

[TheLaydeegail]

[TheLocaChica05]

[SuperJuicystar11]

They Look Like They Hurt Soooooo Much

[hmfrx]

i wish i had afro carriabean hair so i could do this!

[Horrhage]

@hmfrx You can get micro braids even if you're white, it's just more difficult for the braider since non-African hair tends to be slippery.

[Tinytolittle012]

micros are so pretty but they take forever to take out so dhats y i dont really ghet dem buhh i love her hair

[neadollars4]

is it human hair what brand is the human hair

[misskaneza]

im going back home to africa and getting this done but waaay smaller cant wait!

[essencez1]

I would like to know can u show that fold over method with the hair in slow motion or just shoot a tut of how u position the hair in the hand and which strand of the person hair goes into the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd pc. hope that makes sense. i have been trying to get that method for ever.

[mamamouse100]

[malissaspain]

Those braids must be paining her... They look so tight!!!!!! They look really nice though!!!!

[lilcourtny08]

hope she didnt pay for that. look like a pumpkin with braids. not halloween yet!

[Khiwii]

How do you finish the end of it when you're done with the braid? i can't quite tell exactly what you're doing. Are you tying it into a sort of knot?

[MsOfficialAsia]

@Khiwii yep

[YANABABEZ23]

[celestebaby2]

[EZ2Praise]

How much do you charge to do microbraids? And how short can your hair be to get microbraids? I recently had to cut my hair because of breakage and hair loss. Some parts of my hair are as short as 1/2 inch.

[Xgurl08]

Those are Too cute

[sexy1995ize]

What kind of hair are you using for that??

[cups21]

how much is for micro braids ,where are your located

[sasha2012]

HOW lONG dOES THiS TAkE.?

[cinnamonrollll]

that was so cute !!! but wow those were tiny!

[aseeyael1]

LOVE THEMUSIC. WHO IS THAT ?

[hakudoushinumber9]

because my hair is so course they don't even bother to knot the end of the hair.

ohio... that is very close!!! i want to move to japan, i want to know if they can do micros there...

[hakudoushinumber9]

@blgbr0wn3y3s My hair is very course and thick and i have had people braid all kinds of pain in my head. i have never had any hair fall out. if you relax your hair first, don't leave it in real long. the longer you leave it in the weaker your hair gets and the more it will fall out. instead. if you must get a relaxer, do the roots and only leave it int for a max of five minutes while working it into the hair after five minutes then quickly rince it out the next day get your mics done.

[babyj127]

it looks very tight though

[babygurly07]

she doesnt look like she's pulling the hair really really tight which is a plus (thats very professional)

[Chocolatelover123]

@blgbr0wn3y3s i've never had a problem with micro's. people tend to think that the micros pull your hair out, but that's not the case. it depends on how you care for your hair esp. if you wear it in ponylails.

[hakudoushinumber9]

@Chocolatelover123 micros make my hair grow. but they want to put a perm in my hair to soften it... XD because it calluses their finger!!!! true very true

[corbin332]

how long did it take ?

[max220able]

da girls face is screamin pain,nice braids tho, its less painful if u do it yoself dats if u can

[HealthyHairDiva]

[blue79andtenishashow]

[Chocolatelover123]

@blue79andtenishashow 14 hrs..damn..how small were they and how much did ther charge you?

[blue79andtenishashow]

@Chocolatelover123 same size as the girl in this video and it cost 200

[lozabm]

I had my hair braided by African laddies who were superb and very quick. I loved it but couldn't keep them in long as I have blonde caucasin hair which couldn't handle the wieght of the braids. Hair braiding is an art and I respect it very much. Thanks for making the video.xxx.

[zainab1983]

Yes, that is how I wear my hair...micro's with no hair added. It's cheaper and I've had it for like a month now

[TwilightMuseLover]

[makeupbygloria]

[MissBenn25]

That is so pretty and neat...Great Job!

[mya32189]

what language is this song in?

[cheersuperstar]

Dang, she thought she had hair.

She probably didn't have too

much left after she took them out.

Her hair is cute, but they were too tight!

[XjvenassaX]

i can braid that fast

[Tiphany757]

They look nice but too tight. Thats how peoples edges come out. I always ask them not to braid to tight.

[cocoacute]

whoa you braid mad fast, nice!

[HannahMontana9700]

im getting micros next month for the first time too

[meany365]

Im getting some for the first time. Any pointers?

[alexissHYP3]

WOW that must hav taken alot of patience n time!

[Genese242]

can somebody plz tell me where can find a video that shows a thorough and close up explanation of how to do that slipknot

[suganspyyce]

thebraidshop or braidsbysabrina, both channels are by the same person but she has a vid showing

[Genese242]

oh thanks i already tried her out she explains it but u can really see it as good

[suganspyyce]

ok, hmm, have you ever made friendship bracelets? The knot you use here is the basic knot you would use in making a friendship bracelet. If you go to About (the site) they have a tut for them. An illustration is in the second step. I'll message you where.

[91kendrick]

that looks so cute on her hair and it lkooks like it going to take a long tine plus its little micro braids.

[TaylorBoi11]

"Africans" Braid SUPER TIGHT! The outcome is great though.

[poopsygirl08]

What is the name of this song and who is the artist?

[sassyma03]

when do you use the dax before , and is it better to use the clip to part with ?

[BlackHairandSkinCare]

Not that Kerosene heater in the background!....lol That is a fire hazard with flamable hair! Ha ha. The braids are nice and neat though but doing them too tight could cause hair breakage.

[that23hoe]

i luv african shops they can braid soooo gud ive been gettn micros for the past 5 yrs all dun by africans i pay 150 hair included and it last me about 3 months my hair has grown alot luv it!

[classytaura09]

do you guys provide hair and if so what kind of hair is it?

[ExpressBraiding]

human hair up to $40 value or bring your for up to $30 off

[AhseimEtan]

@ExpressBraiding, What is the difference between individual braids and micro braids. 

[bowwowmomobri]

@AhseimEtan THE DIFFRENCE IS THT INDIVUAL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE END MICROS STOP LIKE IN THE MIDDLE

[blurawker]

oooh, that looks so tight, my hair breaks off when braids are to tight, but i still like the style

[WildChild745]

Wat u mean u dont like it IT IS LOVLEY!! Dont be haten

[lacongolia]

I really want to learn how to do this!! It's very beautiful!

[lacongolia]

If u hate african hair so why the heck are you watching this video?????!! pffff

[that23hoe]

dont watch it stupid

[candyjones]

LOL @ the fact that you're trying to provoke a wild response with the whole "i hate african hair and i'm not black"...like, OK. I love my african tightly curled textured hair and i'm DAMN BLACK! And I don't prefer to have slippery hair that can't hold a curl.

Do me a favor, and take your non-black ass,if you happen to be a porcelain shaded Euro, or a tan "Para" latina mixed dog breed, or whatever the hell u are, and step the hell away from this AFRICAN channel! And go comb ur hair thankskbye!

[Attenoj]

I can braid great on my own hair but could you just show me the first step of spreading the hair before detaching I like your method better I hate when people do the fold Thanks!

[maati04]

What is Dax used for?

[that23hoe]

dax helps ya hair grow the green one is gud i also use the shampoo my mama got me hooked lol

[socaliente34]

my best friend is going to micro braid my hair...dear lord ima need some starbucks and asprin!! but my question is is how do they put curls at the ends??

[MichaelaSayWhat]

some people take little curlers put them on the ends, let them soak in some warm water....and yea. thats how you do it

[FUTUREDELTAKD]

When I get micros I always get straight hair but when I want to curl it I just curl it with a curling iron and also you can buy micro hair that is already curly. I do not know the name of what it may be where you live but here In Al they use Ashanti candy curl or something to that nature.

[NicheDiva]

It would have been a little more helpful if they allowed the stylist to talk and lost this music. Other than that the video is of good quality.

[korrisha]

Hello please I am begging and urging and pleading how do you knot the end please do a video on that only that is my head ache please please please this looks good!!!

[queenofweaves916]

This is a wonderful video. Braids By Sabrina also has a tutorial on how to knot the end of a micro braid step by step :0)

[ExpressBraiding]

Thanks for the compliment, but we really don't find Sabrina as good as Express Braiding. Don't mistake us, Sabrina is good but not that good when it comes to braiding and sure she might be better doing fancy waves, but again not the true natural technique good for African hair.

[thebraidshop]

@ExpressBraiding I never saw this comment and i see it has been up for a year. you guys do great work. I would Never say anything negative about your business. My braiding salon is the best and the most famous in California and i personally have been truly blessed with the God Given natural talent of Braiding. I wish all braiders and businesses success. God Bless u

[ethan12309]

dame that looks like it hurt i'm scared to go to the africans lolz it's gunna take a long time to take them out nd she braids mad fast

[FUTUREDELTAKD]

Don't be scared lol...to be honest they do hurt but you I just spray oil sheen on them and it will loosen them up in about a week or so but you will love them and it does take a while to take them down and also taking out the knots that is the real headache but it is worth it....

[luvgal3]

wat brand of braiding hair did she use???

[shanny0890]

i just got micros and i used milky way its a really good brand

[FUTUREDELTAKD]

What kind of hair is it? Like is it human hair and curly or is it straight? Because I never heard of that brand so I'm very interested.

[CocadiLoca]

braids like this aren' good for african hair!!!absolutely not! it might looks good, but it causes hair damages especially in the front area.

[AmandaRox93]

They look nice but dealing with it when you take it off is a nightmare..

[COJAZZ3]

OMG...that looks like it hurts but I guess it's worth it for the person getting micros to not have to really deal with the hair afterward for awhile

[FUTUREDELTAKD]

Lol..exactly that is why I get them and plus I also get them because my hair grows a lot from them. So I love them!!!!
