Box Braid/Individual Tutorial

[dolcegill]

Thanks for the tutorial! Got all nostalgic listening to the Whitney Houston tune too :(

[Jewell8912]

This is the best video on box braiding. Thank you for showing different ways of doing it. I found one way that I think I can finally do this for myself thank you thank you thank you!

[napsarefriends]

you should try making another video without your hair there

[dominiqueeen]

thank you so much!! i will be doing my own hair this weekend :)))

[Nor0Sun018]

I need to know how i can achieve the length of the braid w.out having to extend the sythetic hair to the point where when it.s braided into the real hair the fake hair sticks out. Can anyone help me?!

[TheJennCenter]

THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE! Well maybe i'm exaggerating but this really helped me

[mndegrassi8]

what do you do when you reach the end of your hair and u cant braid anymore

[MiMiThaBAP1]

I like how u show the different techniques bcuz it's true, evryone does braid different :) thanx!

[cdjeff1]

It is great to see how you demonstrate this technique but when the natural hair strand ends, how do you braid it so that you cannot see in the braid where the natural hair ends?

[girlythug72]

im still tryin to figure out the synthetic part how to apply it

[cdeme001]

Great video! Does it matter which technique you use? Which one do you think is the easiest for a beginner?

[FeMcMovement]

the 1st video that broke it down thank you, i knew my technique was on the money :-) thank you for this very much

[Mrsm0ya561]

I do dat exact technique but y do my braids always come out messy?

[69vita]

Thank you for doing it with color hair so we can see it....

[22getatme]

NO OFFENCIE BUT I hate when people mix colors with fake hair. Ugg other than that the video was O.K

[FeMcMovement]

@22getatme she was just showing you how it is done...its more visible to everyones eyes if they see it with a different color vs it being blended im..you wouldnt have been able to see it that way if it was the same color as the hair she was using

[22getatme]

@FeMcMovement true. thas resonable...

[scorad0153]

This video would be better if ur hand was not in the way!

[ayot6]

Thanks for using a different color of hair. I see exactly what I have to do!

[victoriakapshaw]

scratch my last comment liea.actually i found out that on all the tutorial i've watch on the tube yours was the only one to show the difference between the actual hair and the extension.thanks that was great. and i like option one. i think it simple to do. for the last couple of days i've been braiding my four year old hair in block braids for the first time and i'm trying other ways but it's not tight enough.so i'm excited to try your techniques today in her hair.

[victoriakapshaw]

the video was nice as far as showing different techniques,but your right hand was blocking the way of your other hand too much.so it made it hard to get the full view of what you was doing.maybe zoom out some more next time.

[h0opman31]

HI....I have a question about Axl Rose's box braids. Please google him if you don't know who he is. When his braids are in a ponytail, there aren't any parting patterns correct? Does that mean he doesnt have any parting patterns or its just not shown when its in a ponytail? What are the size of his braids? Please answer for me. thanks

[lissacar09]

ur video was great....Im trying to learn how to braid so I can do my own hair...im having a problem with wrappin the weave around my hair....im slow (just kidding) and its taking me a while to grasp the concept of doin that and i think its because Im lefthanded....do u have any advice for left handed people learnin to braid?

[TWALLIZE]

Great video, thanks so much! Back to school tomorrow and have to braid my daughter's hair because no openings at the African braid shop...ugh! Your video helps so much...God Bless!

[liea1982]

@TWALLIZE Thank you and God bless you too

[gayle2000pat]

good demo. Have u tried attaching the weave to the underside of the hair it give a more natural braid from the root/scalp

[liea1982]

@gayle2000pat I actually have another method of attaching it so it actually looks natural. I will make that video one day LOL I didnt really want to let my secret out but if the request or demand keeps coming I will make that video.

[gayle2000pat]

@liea1982 ok I agree

[NaturalNaps]

great video...i could never figure out how to attach the weave...now i know! just did my first set of singles and they turned out great!!

[rjmami8508]

girl, you have the best tutorials eva!

[liea1982]

@rjmami8508 Thank you

[teairaeaton]

hey! I would like to know the purpose of crossing the hair? Does the braid last longer when yo do that? You did a great job at this!

[liea1982]

@teairaeaton to me no just some people prefer doing it that way.

[Phox78]

I really liked your video. Your instruction were really simple and easy to follow, in comparison to a lot of other braiding vids I've watched. Thanks

[liea1982]

@Phox78 your welcome

[jaseaka]

i love this song!

[SetApartBeauty]

Great video!! This looks extremely easy on the video, but actually doing it is another thing...

[liea1982]

@SetApartBeauty LOL right

[emontgom02]

The video was okay. It was hard to see the technique your hand kept getting in the way of crucial parts in the video. I was disappointed only because I was looking for a video that showed me how to begin the braid and when I did it eludes me again but thanks for the effort just wasn't clear enough for me.

[liea1982]

@emontgom02 look at my other videos

[sarah2202ful]

Thank sooo much!

[thessalonicky007]

[sp1241]

[MSJIGGLY2U]

PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO CAUSE I LEARNED WITHIN A DAY HOW TO BRAID HAIR! dead ass, lol (if ppl still say that). i know how to braid the hair onto my hair, but i cant imagine braiding my entire head! imma have to pay someone to do that for me b/c thats a challenge i dont want to meet. thanks for the vid it helped so much.

[222cutiepie]

wow this is so hard to get..been replayin it a thousand times, uggggggghhhhh

[sp1241]

you make it easy to understand you really good at it

[nwachucl]

wow this helpd so much

[christinagal2468]

is it still easy to do those braids yourself?

[liea1982]

@christinagal2468 for me yes but I believe it takes practice

[sallycooper54]

I am having trouble starting the knot at the beginning of the braid i did the vross over technique but its not working out which one is better?

[mzbay1]

DIS REAL GUUD!!! really helped me thanx!

[BaybeeTetris]

kinda complactied to see with ur hand in the way. but otherwise would been good

[heritagehigh1]

this wouldve been a great video if i could see wat u were doing..ur hand was in the way

[catriceful]

i like this video it has taught me alot, please continue to make more, i am 10 years old and still learning i almost hav it

[liea1982]

I will keep making videos. I am going thru some things but new videos will be posted within the month!

[VioletFlowwers]

Thank you! Great video! :)

[Liyatastic95]

Honestly,your video was the most explicit that I've seen so far and I ahve sewen a lot . In these rough economiic times ,it's fvery difficult to spend "a yard" to pay for box braids for my girls...Just would like to see your hands better..perhaps someone coulld hold the camera from above and more closely while u braid. Very classy and u have a great taste in music(Whitney). Thanks and Blessings!!!!

[binkykisses]

thank you so much liea982.... i am trying extensions for the first time and i would not worry as much if I wasnt doing a bright purple..but ur angle is spot on and i like that you use text to explain what you did cause thats easier to follow

[candacethelovely]

can't really see what you're doing ....

[verosharma]

oh thats smart to split the fake hair into three does that make it tighter? thats the problem i have when i do it to my own hair i cant get it tight enough i will have to try this do you do it to your own hair i would like to see that

[dollsdoll44]

I love this, you're the only one I've seen so far who shows different ways of doing it, and uses a manequin and different color to show the difference, 5 stars girl!

[215sexyphillygurl]

nice braid but i need step by step lol.

[OnlyinJapan]

thank u for this.... :-)

[bebegirl5fly]

what about at the end of the braid??... u never showd a clip of that genius....poor ms lady..really poor.mmm k

[BerriMe]

weelll ok lets see.. you keep doing that until you run out of hair genius.. then you stop.mmm k

[koleangel14]

Thanks for this turorial! Very easy to follow. Have you done a vid where you show how to part so the braids are all even?

[liea1982]

[goddessdenise1]

I was trying to follow your video but I couldn't see your hands at all. Can you do one that will show it more clearly thanks

[AKIYIAKELLY]

I love that song? I know it is Whitney Houston! Thank you good video!

[liea1982]

Yes it is, Its One Of Those Days! Love that song, Thanks

[CanadianCgrrl]

Thanks for the informative video. I've been trying the last method from time on my own hair but i might find the first two easier.

[liea1982]

It takes practice but once you get it its easy.

[ToniLoveStudio]

I can get it around the hair and start the braid, but it is not tight :(

[liea1982]

I will do an update of this video soon

[JessieFablous]

ii like that song and u did a good job its really helped thanks :D

[liea1982]

Thank you

[liea1982]

This is a little hard for me to explain (in words) so I will do a video on the amount of hair tonight or tomorrow morning.

[ambrosia05]

For medium braids, about how much real hair do you usually section off for each one?

[dockery74]

i know how to braid, but didn't know how to "under braid", and you did it very slow so i can see.. thanks

[liea1982]

Your welcome

[tyefrmny]

This was a really helpful tutorial. I know how to do braids, but it's always nice to see different techniques. Thanks for posting this!

[liea1982]

Thank you I totally understand.

[Natalia23225]

[liea1982]
