    Simply gorgeous, I wish I had the patience. I can’t believe you were able to do this in only 6.5 hrs. This shit would have taken me 2 days.

      🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead! I simply didnt have the patience to be bothered with my hair doing this pandemic so I sucked it up and started braiding. It was super Tedious but simple so next time I'll ask my 2 nieces to help me!😅 #childlabor #askakid

      lool honestly I feel it would only take me 2 days if I was really that tired, but I've never pushed it that far never once. I can push through for 6 hours since I'm used to it. You just need to put on some really good music or watch a show and you'll be fine (maybe take some breaks into between for snacks or to rest your arms to keep going)

    Box braids are everything to me! It’s now my daily style. They give me the swing of straightened hair without the heat damage! And I don’t have to comb my hair!!! Still look fly and it’s all my hair! And for those who cannot braid well like me, go to a stylist! It’s worth every penny! I admire your braiding skills! Your hair looks beautiful!

      "I'm going to get every single hour back every day I wake up and don't have to do my hair."FACTS. It's why I live mini-twists. I may now be inspired to do mini- braids, EXCEPT making neat parts is not my strength and I am scared that the take down will take me literal DAYS. Oh well.I am thinking about it. Your hair came out beautifully 😊.

    @ukcurlygrl1 Před rokem +6

    I do those once a month. When I blow dry my hair put to stretch it I will leave the ends so they are not blown straight or stretched as much as the rest. That way when I braid and I add product the curls pop on the end of the hair and less frizz 😊

      Remember don't borrow while your braiding!! This makes a difference in take down. If you don't borrow, when it's time to take down you can pull them apart a bit and let it unravel, using a rat tail comb at the ends only. This works for me and my hair is tailbone length, I do box braids slightly bigger than hers here
