[liea1982]

@MsKLASS2010 This video is 2 years old. I just re-braided each braid.

[jolidiamantnoir]

great video. when i braid, how do i make sure i make the top part tight enough so that it doesnt slip down when i move-downward?

[Yomalex3]

What were the most common mistakes when you first started doing them? I want to get braids but I can't afford to go to a braider so I was hoping to do them myself, probably gonna end up in disaster lol. What tips can you give me?

[Yomalex3]

@Yomalex3 I also wanted to add that I love your smile, you have a a beautiful smile. :)

[jdestry95]

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO DO ALL OF YUR HAIR?

[17Msluvbug]

love ur braids but how do get the braid tight at the root

[ImPrettyTho]

they micros , not indies .

[liea1982]

@ImPrettyTho I hope this does not sound rude; however this is the reason I have the amount of clients I have. A lot of people do not know the difference between individuals and micro's not to mention micro mini's. These are small individual braids.

[ImPrettyTho]

@liea1982 Oh Ok , 3 Questions . Somebody Asked Did You Cut The Hair In Half , You Said Yes .

How Long Was It Originally ? & Is That A Choice Or Do Yu Have To ? Last Question , How Many Packs ?

[ladydonna773]

Hey girl! I like! lol Can you do a vid on how you dip ur hair n the water? Do you do that 2seal the ends &n hot water right?

[liea1982]

I have a video up on how to do that but I will make one on how I do slip knots.

[moestress]

Hey this is awesome! I just posted a video response showing how I do my braids too. A little bit bigger, im tender headed and already take too long doing my hair! lol Loving the vid!

[liea1982]

LOL I understand how it feels

[mjfan1stloveit]

you are welcome. you are pretty too.

[AKIYIAKELLY]

thank you for the last answer! I have one more question! I dont know if you do kinky twist but when I do my kink twist they always unravel and never stay tight what could I be doing wrong! I am a left handed person. Thank you!

[liea1982]

I am going to do another video on this soon. Hopefully I can explain it better.

[mjfan1stloveit]

i want her to do my hair.

[liea1982]

Aww Thanks

[ChristinaCampbell24]

Nice... How long did it take you?

[liea1982]

It took 1 day to do, but in this video I was just doing a touch up of the front.

[AKIYIAKELLY]

Thx! I have a Question! I do my braids my self and I have natural hair no perm! My real hair always stick out the braid and looks fuzzy what can I do?

[liea1982]

I put lets jam or something like that on the hair before braiding it and that keeps stray hair out of the way and it blends the natural hair and the extension hair. I hope this helps.

[johnitab]

You can lightly blow dry your hair before braiding. That way the ends will be a little straight. I have natural hair and before I started blow drying my hair it use to look fuzzy too! That jam would help as well. hope that help

[liea1982]

Very good info; I have natural clients who do not want any heat on their hair but I also have clients who don't mind the heat. If the client does not mind the heat I do exactly what johnitab said,

[bAYB33dAWL101]

wow those r pretty i wish u cud do minez

[liea1982]

Thank you maybe one day you will be able to do your own

[2luvlykidz]

Can you please do a two strand twist vid starting it and so on, please?

[liea1982]

I have one up but I will do another one showing how to do it with the kinky twist hair.

[MusicRules4Us]

I cAn do itvery faster but your fast to

[missbonitaapplebum]

I wanted 2 ask how do you take care of your hair with the braids in & I wanted 2 do some individuals in my hair but not micros kinda of medium size.

[liea1982]

Wrap them at night, I use a satin scarf. To do medium size use larger sections of hair (both your hair and the extension hair).

[REMyNRUBy]

you do them real fast...lol

[ariesladiie0418]

i love your braids.. they look really full!.... i have a quick question.. can you use perm rod rollers on human hair braids [straight] to get that curly look?

[liea1982]

I am not sure. I've never done it that way, I have either curled the ends with curlers or used curly hair. But you can use rods or magnetic rollers on synthetic hair.

I will try it on human hair and do a video on how it turned out.

[LeoShannozun]

You can use them. I don't over load the roller or it will not work. Roll the hair dip it in very hot water while rolled. be gentle and squeeze the water out with a towel. air dry or use a dryer. Make sure it is dry before you unroll. You can use setting lotion and let it dry but the build up of product is bother some.

[liea1982]

Great info! Thank you for replying.

[2luvlykidz]

You're really good at your craft!

[liea1982]

Thank you!!

[tcc1963]

Thanks. I want to braid my hair in micros, but it is short, about 2-3 inches. What do you think. Any suggestions.

[liea1982]

I have a couple of other videos that might help you out better. But I suggest you take your time; also it night be best for you to try the cross method or wrap extension around your natural hair method. (That is shown in one of my other videos). Also for me it was easier to learn when my hair was shorter, so your length might actually help you out. And for part placement try pulled parts; its the way I sectioned my hair in the how to braid the back of your head video.

[dinolts]

braids dont cause breakage if handled properly

[liea1982]

I agree completely.

[pelmoren]

Hi i just want to know how do you get the parts to look nice and not all ghetto and so full thank u

[liea1982]

I will do a video explaining the different ways to section the hair, I hope that video will answer your question.

[pelmoren]

thank you so much

[LeftEye2pac]

Damn you braid fast

[rohampto]

do these type of braids pull your natural hair out? it looks like your natural hair gets pulled tightly or in the styling process gets pulled out.

[liea1982]

No this type of braid does not pull your hair out. What causes breakage is the braids being to tight, the braids being pulled tightly (up in a ponytail for example), having too much extension hair on the braid or leaving the braids in too long. If done correctly the braids does not cause any breakage you will only have natural shedding.

[rohampto]

oh thank you! good info. i think i wanna try these.

[nychinagirl]

Are you in the NY area?

[liea1982]

No I am in Los Angeles Sorry.

[mermaid11236]

Girl, braiding that fast is what us braiders are able to do. Braiding hair for so many years you tend to braid faster with the years of experience. Keep up the good work!!

[liea1982]

Thank You!

[blissfullyme1980]

I dont like slip knots because it tangles and becomes loose I like when the person braids the fake hair all the way pass my own hair and they super glue the braid, but most braiders dont get what iam saying and they glue my hair whith the fake hair. the clear glue is not visible and it last longer whith holding the loose hair in place and you can dip the hair without it unraveling just my opinion.

[liea1982]

I appreciate your opinion, I do have clients that request glue I do not suggest it; because as you stated a lot of braiders place the glue on the clients hair which is not good for your hair. I do suggest the slip knot technique because when it is done correctly you do not have any breakage and the slip knot is easily removed. But again thank you for your opinion.

[Chatlaz07]

u are one fast braider

wow!!

[liea1982]

Thank You

[princess89653]

I like the way u do yo braids

[liea1982]

Thank You

[rgray71]

are you located in atlanta. cause if you are I would like to get my hair braided.

[liea1982]

I am located in Los Angeles. But Thank you for the complement.

[shawtyisa10]

do u have to use the hair that u micro braid wit or can u use regular yaki cornrow hair?

[liea1982]

The hair I used was Black and Gold Synthetic Hair. You no not have to use human hair you can use synthetic hair.

[liea1982]

I recently uploaded a video showing how to do micro's using synthetic hair. I have not finished them yet but when I do I will post a complete style video. check out the videos I have on my page.

[GRANDBERRY1988]

no i was talking about braiding the tree braids down to your nape! so do you stop at the nape and do a slip knot or do you keep braiding it down like regular cornrows and then do a slip knot!

[liea1982]

I do either it depends on what the client wants. With most of my clients I stop braiding after i have braided past the clients hair and only have extension hair let then I do the slip knot.

[GRANDBERRY1988]

so when you lift the hair up in the back does the braid show or is it just the hair? and what type of human or syn. hair should i get thats at a really affordable price cuz im running extremly low on money.

[liea1982]

The braids will show; however with my clients I do a couple of rows of micros so when the hair is pulled up you will see micro's instead of cornrows. I hope this helps.

[GRANDBERRY1988]

o yea sorry and when you do braid the hair all the way down do you stop to your nape or you just keep on braiding like you would with cornrows

[GRANDBERRY1988]

o yea one more question when you are doing tree braids when you are braiding the hair all the way down do you tie a knot at the ends or do you put a rubber band at the end please help me!

[liea1982]

When doing tree braids I do slip knots at the end I do anywhere from 4 to 8 because I want to ensure the braid does not come a loose unless the braids are being taken down.

[GRANDBERRY1988]

im sorry what does the 4 to 8 means??

[liea1982]

I'm sorry I meant 4 to 8 times. I do the slip knot 4 to 8 times to ensure the tree braid stays put. You do not have to do it that many times that is just what I do personally.

[GRANDBERRY1988]

so wouldnt it be hard to take out!

[liea1982]

I mostly do slip knots after the clients hair so the braid can be cut after the slip knot.

[GRANDBERRY1988]

hold im sorry what you mean cut the braid after the slip knot?

[liea1982]

I braid past the clients hair and then do the slip knot so if you put your fingers on the slip knot and cut the braid right above it then you will not cut your hair or have to worry about removing the slip knot manually.

[GRANDBERRY1988]

hey everytime i do my micro braids it always start slipping what do i have to do to keep it from slipping out cuz i dont want to keep braiding my hair to tight to cause any damage or brake my hair off!please help me and what is the best brand hair to use to help me braid better!

[liea1982]

If you are new to braiding I suggest using synthetic hair because it does not cost too much money. But as far it slipping you can try using bees wax or I know we dont like to hear this but you get better with practice. Try holding the extension hair as close to your scalp as possible and then begin braiding; keep your hands close to your head until you are at least 1/4 of the way down. let me know how it turns out.

[shawtyisa10]

how long did it take???

[liea1982]

I was just doing my edges so It took about an hour but when I do my whole head it takes a day if I sit still lol!

[loshay69]

[jodecierollinsonshow]

[liea1982]

Thank You

[yolondajt]

im getting ready to braid my hair for the first time. What type of hair should i use???

[liea1982]

I suggest Black and Gold brand hair, the purple pack not the silver one. Please let me know how they turn out.

[liea1982]

Thank you, I know the sound quality was horrible. Let me know what techniques you would like to see and I will post a video on how to do it.

[brwneydbbgrlok]

You did such an excellent job...just couldn't hear you! I also do braids on the side and I love your technique! Please post more videos!

[SharmetaB]

You did a good job.But you should redo your videos because of no sound.

[liea1982]

I am going to post more how to videos with better sound. I know the sound was really bad in this video (as well as the other two). I will post more video's soon.

[multiculturalbella]

Hi, quick question! have u heard of braiding the crown in individuals and then french braiding the middle, so that it saves time? this person is trying to do that to my hair and i'm not really positive about it! thanx

[liea1982]

Yes I have heard of that. I suggest making sure the braider knows what she is doing.

~TIP FOR EVERYONE~ if it is your first time braiding someones hair in the above style try this instead of cornrowing the hair and sewing in a weave just French braid (small cornrows) the middle in 2 or 3 small layers it still saves time and it helps you the braider learn how to hide the middle so that when you do sew in a weave in the middle you will hide the tracks without them showing too bad.

[prophetesshope]

do you always do your own hair...

[liea1982]

Yes I usually do my own hair, the only thing I don't do is trim my own ends.

[prophetesshope]

I usually do my own hair..(saves money) but i don't trim my ends... my Husband trims my ends...

[LilMe11434]

Great job, but I couldn't hear a word you said. LOL. How many hours did it take you? Do you work at a salon?

[liea1982]

Thank You! The volume was really bad but I am going to do another video soon of how I do individuals. If I have a whole day I can do my hair in 1 day, and no i am a mobile braider in Los Angeles.

[liea1982]

I am now in a salon
