Finally a person that knows how to angle the camera where we can see what she is doing!!😆

[miahsanders]

This lady can start a box braid 8 ways and I can’t even do one 🤦🏽‍♀️, what is life!

[tayacoates]

You are a lifesaver!!! Every other tutorial is so hard to follow because their hands are in the way. I watched this once and picked it up immediately. Loved how you ranked them from easiest to hardest. Thank you!

I like the fact that she used a different color hair, so its easier to see what she's doing.

[jaelynaaron]

The angle, the demonstration, the commentary, and even the little pros and cons card in the card. This video is immaculate!!!! Could not have been better.

I just want to say how thankful I am for this video. My partner has trouble taking care of their natural hair because of mental health issues, but having braids makes them feel so much better about themselves and the way they look. I’m white, so I’ve never done braids like these before, and this video has been immensely helpful for me to be able to help the person I love most see themselves as beautiful as I do. It took a lot of practice and I’m still nowhere near perfect, but I’m getting better every time. It makes my partner feel better about themselves, and it makes me feel better because I’m able to help them with something, even if it’s relatively small. Thank you.

I love how she tells you the pro’s and con’s of each braid style ; helps ALOT

[AbbzJordan]

I just bought some hair. I figured to learn how to braid my own hair while social distancing orders are in effect. Thank you so much for this. I'm hoping I can do it!

[LifewithStripes]

Thank you so much!!! We adopted my younger sister from Haiti and as a white family, we have never been great with her hair. We typically take her to get it braided, but I've made it my mission to learn how to give her beautiful hairstyles. I feel bad knowing she's missing out on an entire culture of hairstyles and I want to give that to her. Today I gave her box braids for the first time and she was so excited!

[blakethegirl]

This was my braider, she's amazing! Reasonably priced, an honest business woman, and she's great with tender headed folks :)

[itzx_lynnn]

Excellent demonstration, 8 different ways was extremely hopeful to help learn easily. I found the method that suits me. Thank very much. God Bless you n your family! 10 thumbs-up 😊😊😊😊😊

[kourtneyjackson]

I’m in college and I didn’t trust none of the girls that braided hair on campus so when i watched your video, the first method is what i caught on to and now I can say i braid my own hair and saving money. THANK YOUUU

[robinwilliams]

Great tutorial, not too fast, your hands weren't in the way, you explained clearly and gave reasons for using or not using each one. Overall the best tutorial I have seen thus far. Thank you.

[taegottiii]

girllll... that 2 strand split got me feeling like a pro right now😭😭 thank u💗

[ellawagner]

This video was so helpful most videos on this dont make much sense or assume you have some knowledge of box braids but as a white girl I have no clue what I'm doing. I really wanted to learn so im able to do a friends hair she has always wanted nice braids but her family cant afford it so I wanted to surprise her by being able to do them. Thank you so much!!!

[pamjsb]

You are the first stylists that present an "aerial" view on how to diy box braids. Thank you. Thank you !

[NeseMonae]

I went to braiding school and couldn't get it for the life of me. This video could of saved me $500 because on my first try after watching....i got it 🤦🏾

[nataliepuentes]

Finally someone that actually shows the difference and good position with the camera and slows down to explain. Plus the pros and cons. Ive been braiding for a while trying to become a braider and this literally helped me so much.
