How To Do Faux French Braids - Part 1 - Rubber Bands

http://www.keepmecurly.com - Check out my blog for more fun hair style ideas and natural hair care tips! I had a lot of request on B's hair journey for directions on how to do the faux french braids. Well, B has locs now so I had to demonstrate on V, so they might look a little different. Watch Part 2 of this series to see another way of doing the french braids that involves cornrows.

Not trolling, just asking a genuine question but doesn't all those tight bands pulling her hair make it very sore later in the day?

@TheMandaxx - if you did this on someone who had never had their hair done like this it would probably get irritating feeling by the end of the day - I know that I am always ready to take out my hair things (ponytail or whatever) by the end of the day. But my girls have been getting their hair braided and done like this since they were tiny and they don't even notice it.

you do an excellent job, i have a son and daughter and is not good on hair. Keep up the good work. Do you stay in the dc metro area???

[Katelynylyn]

@greenyjdsf - Thank you, and I live in Michigan. I have never been to DC!

how did you learn to do ethnic hair so well?

[Katelynylyn]

@smlt4everblessed - I learned out of necessity, I have 3 adopted children and we can't afford to pay someone else to do their hair so I taught myself how to do it. I do my sons hair too :)
