@ AdamsRibb84 I was using care free curl moisturizing spray a mixture of oils and water in a spray bottle I didn't like the way my braids smelled using the carefree curl moisturizer it was kind of funky smelling I did wash them with no problems I am planning on doing another set doing a different technique , if the yarn braids don't work I'm going back to the kanekalon hair I think it holds moisture better than the yarn braids thats what my hair tells me anyways Thanks for posting your vids

@mskoollaid Funky smelling LOL! I understand...I used to use that as well.

Oh how I wish I could do my own hair. I inspire to be like u guys. Also Black onyx has some video up for yarn braids, she even give u ideas on how to style them, cute and classy

[AdamsRib84]

@Krist3nlaree Oh sweetie I belive you can. You just have to practice practice practice. I started braiding during undergrad and over the years, I've been able to perfect it. Now I have my own small business in hair braiding. If it is something you inspire to do, go for it. Start on yourself then on a family member then work your way up. Yes, I have seen the styles by Black onyx. They are fierce. She is very gifted. I have also seen some really cute styles of yarn braids by MsVcharles

thank you again for this video...i have another question...do you know how to flat twist your hair? if so can you do a tutorial or do u know how to twist the hair in the front and it lays flat like a "twist" but its not? (hopefully that made sense)

[AdamsRib84]

@accountmaster30001 Sure...did you want the tutorial on flat twists using your real hair or the braids? Since my braids are in, it may be a while until I can do the flat twists on my real hair

I was trying to do yarn braids last night and my hair was sticking out too..its currently straight from me flat ironing. I'm going to go wash it and see if that makes a diff..if not ill be doing some type of twisted protective style haha

I have yarn braids and my natural hair is sticking out badly. Do you have any suggestions to get my hair to lay down?

[shanzie81]

Ive done practice runs with yarn braids before I do my whole head trying to get them as neat as yours. Ive braided my hair with synthetic hair only a few times with neat results, but the yarn, urrggg!!! Its not neat/straight. Your yarn braids are the neatest Ive seen so far. Great job!!

thankfully they grow back but it really takes a lot of time.

i don't think i will ever get my hair braided again at the african braiding shop. my hair at my temples always come out.

@AdamsRib84 well since you do have your braids in you can do it on that....thanx alot...i really appreciate it
