@xbox360gamerchick The back was harder. Rem., it does not have to be perfect. But my advice would be take your time parting, I really made sure to find a size I liked and kept with it. I began from the nape of my neck up to the crown of my head. So from the bottom up. I braided this way so that the hair would not be in my way as I braided upward.
watching your video made me got to the beauty salon and bought 3 bags of toyokalon hair and start box braiding my hair. This will be my 2nd time doing them, but i must say it's turning out better the second time around. I'm taking me time and moving slow so that eack braids looks decent. I'm not giving myself a deadline because i don't want to rush. will tell you how it came out after i finish.
you said, the weave is synthetic cuz i aint want to waste no money.
im the same way. and i feel you on how its just fun to braid, even if you really dnt know wht your doing or its yur 1st time.
im just learning and i juss did my 1st 2 cornrowstoday and i had been trying for 2 yrs. YOU BECOME SUPRISED IN YOURSELF WHEN YOU PUT EFFORT FORWARD. but you will catch on, if you didnt already.
gurl u did good! i remember when i first braided my own hair. lately i've been thinking about doing the top of my head and sides and back in micro then the middle have weave.
Practice makes Perfection you will never know what you can and can't do untill you try! You doing this for the first time is not bad as you think your doing :)
Hey i feel i jus did my own braids I refuse to pay some one 230 bucks for something I can learn to do my myself. It's funny though cause my parts came out just like yours but hey aint nobody gonna be lookin at the back of ur head anyway I just made sure when it came time for me to do the front that my parts were correct...But good job though they came out good
i reccomend that you just dip it in boiling water. It is best to use synthetic hair for braids like this so that the hair will melt into place. you can also curl it by rolling the ends with a plastic roller as you would nomal hair and then you just do the same thing. Burning the ends isn't as good because they dont look as natural and they kinda hurt becasue you can scratch your self on accident. if you have any questions you can e-mail me.
I don't think I would be able to sit and do my whole head, I was thinking about getting it braided for my birthday. but i had braids before and I know sometime they pull out the edges of your head. So im looking around to see what size braids are good, and maybe what good brand of hair to buy also. but You really did a great job and i know that must have took some time - Smile
@MuahKissKiss Great job I'm going to try it, I'm a Cosmo student, and I did about one or two in my hair just to teach myself. But I am going to do my entire head.
@reader24 Thank you! I braided each braid about 3 or 4 inches past where my hair stopped. I was afraid to put glue in my hair and I'm not really good with the knotting technique. If a braid unraveled I would just re-braid it. But only about 2 or 3 unraveled ( I braid pretty tight) which I didn't mind.
for ur first time u did an awsome job!!! i'm about to do mine for the first time too in a couple days and now u got me motivated lol :) But great job and i hope mine comes out as good as urs did. oh and i love the wavy look, very cute <3
Your hair was really pretty for your first time braiding. I did my hair for the first time in individuals, and coiled the ends using kanekalon hair to save some money of course.
Yeah some of my friends have asked. And now I do my mothers hair all the time. And it took me awhile b/c I did not do it all at once. I was on black folk time. So it took me an entire day. But if I would count it all together maybe around 6hours.
You did a great job! I'm trying to learn how to braid my own hair myself! I ended up paying a friend to do mine though. I got the deep body wave synthetic too! It's actually really nice! I just comb it every day and put curl activator on it and I'm good to go! I posted a video response to show you my braids
I sealed the ends in hot water. You may need an assistant for that part. Just make one or two big braids and have someone dip your ends into hot water.
Well, I was on black folk time. I did a little here and there. But if I had sat down and did it all at once it would of taken 6 or 7 hours b/c when I first started I braided the back of the hair all the way down to the ends. But the middle/front I left loose with a small knot.
U did a great job! Its soo pretty! Im practicing with braiding my own hair like that as well. I hope the next time I try it it turns out like yours ^_^
Thanks, and yeah practice is everything. I have to wait a while before I will be able to braid my hair again. I cut out all the perm so its really short. When it grows back out, I think I will try kinky twist.
I am trying 2 decided weather I want 2 put some individuals in my own hair I am like you I am not a professional but I don't know yet because I want it to be pretty but yours turned out good.
I think you should try it. I mean no one will know if they turn out wack unless you do a video...lol...if you don't like how it turns out, try again. One trick is covering each braid with another braid, so that the scalp does not show, this will give you a fuller look.
You did an amazing job, your hair turned out beautiful! The first time I braided my hair my braids were a lot thicker and I got blisters on my fingers!
You did a good job! Did you glue it or tie a knot to secure it?
