My friends in Detroit would brag about how I could put braids in very short hair and you could pull it and it wouldn't come out. Straight silky hair is really hard to do. It slips through your fingers if you don't keep a really tight grip. It makes your fingers cramp. My daughters have the silky hair 😫
@@TradBarbie I have mostly straight, but a slight wave to my hair. It’s super soft after washing though, and a scrunci does not like to stay put after. I found though, after a day or two, I’m guessing the natural oils and maybe a little “dirt” from the day is back, and my hair has a grip to it again. So, if your going to braid very soft,silky,or fine hair, it’s better to do a day or two after washing or do it while damp. It helps a lot 😉✌️
@@erinaustin2157 They're all old now. I have OCD so I could only do hair right after washing. I had that death grip though. I'd put that silky hair in a cornrowed pony. I could never now. I want to say I used hairspray as I went, sometimes, maybe not with the cornrows. Product can mimic that two/three day tackiness, but some could make it worse. Now that I think about it, my two childrens' hair got more slippery the longer without washing. I thank *GOD* for my nappy hair. I can't imagine having to wash it every day. I can stick it up so high with no product, etc. My mom has to wash her hair *every* day, or she looks home less 😂 She can't even go 28 hours without washing it. It's so straight and smooth that it won't hold a *perm.* Mine will hold a crimp after washing sometimes.
@@erinaustin2157 I know most straight hair is fine, but in my family each hair is *thick* and coarse. When it get's greasy it clumps together and becomes even heavier, and won't do anything. Then my fingers will slip and not be able to grip. It probably would've helped with my middle daughter. She has curly hair and it's rather fine and soft.
As a white foster parent to several black children I had to do a lot of learning. I never even learned how to do a French braid on straight hair. These types of videos have really helped. Doing my hair consists of mediocre brushing and a bun, so CZcams has been a game changer and life saver.
The most important thing you are doing, is telling those kids, by action, that they are important enough to you, that you are making the effort to learn how to do this for them!
I remember my black friends and their mamas and aunties doing my hair when I was a kid. It was an experience of pure love and beauty. No one celebrates hair care and bonding over beauty like black women. Beautiful culture, beautiful people. 🎶
Yet, when you’re an adult and you wanna braid your hair, they say..naaahh only black people are allowed to! It’s cultural appropriation! Is racist!! Etc.. People are such hypocrites
@@KristinRyans no, actually its the media that started it. Black women have always worn braids. Its a rite of passage. But its ghetto and ugly when we do it but the hottest trend when others do it. Nah, we not having that. Its a beautiful style of empowerment and grace when anybody does it. We just want to make that clear.
I remember back when I was a small girl my friends mom/sister braided my hair too. She even added the colorful beads at the bottom with the ends wrapped in foil. Such wonderful memories 💕
I had a hairstylist get frustrated with my hair for a wedding. She said it was literally like trying to braid water, try to make a part and it just flows right back where you don't want it to be. Some people say black hair is harder but I think every texture is just different and has its own properties that you have to have experience with to get used to. It's so cool you can work with so many different hair types!
Right its just like water, flows right through your fingers. It's especially bad? (bad for braiding) if it's just been washed. My hair is long and straight, and thats all it wants to be. Curl it in the morning? Straight by afternoon. T.T lol but really I'm happy with what i've got, you learn to love yourself.
For real, Im asian and used to braiding my own hair. You'd think braiding straight caucasian hair wouldnt be too disimilar, but their hair texture, especially with fine hair, just feels 'fluffier' and less dense than asian hair. Like our strands are more tough.
It is so sweet that all the lil kids get so excited and that you were able to give some of them their own lil special time to be treated. Watching hair videos is so relaxing but GETTING your hair done by a stylist is SUPER RELAXING. Turned out so cute 🥰
Right?! Getting hair done is so relaxing I can fall asleep haha just like a back scratch....count me in anytime, especially if it's gonna end up looking like this!
So lovely, as a girl my hair was like this and I grew up in an African country where women and girls took a lot of pride in their braided hair styles. It was easy for me to feel left out because often heard that my hair was too “slippery” for most braided styles. I was so blessed by a few women who were patient with my hair and gave me beautiful cornrows. To this day I love braiding my own hair and watching hair videos with beautiful African hair - but this makes me so happy! ❤
I grew up in a majority black area and this brings back so many memories of my friends, my friends mom's, and even my friends sisters doing my hair as a little girl. It always made me feel so much closer to them. Like part of the family. I'm glad I found this video and what you did for the kids is awesome!
She is such a doll & I know she was so happy with auntie braiding her hair & featuring her on your channel! This was incredibly sweet of you & did my heart good today! As always, you never disappoint with the hair inspo! Adorable style!
In 1978 my best friends momma braided my strings lol and allowed me to feel the beauty of the styles she gave her daughter. It was an uncommon friendship in South Louisiana but me and her knew nothing of our differences only of our admiration of each other. Sharing with one an other in respect is a high compliment to one's soul. What a treat and thank you for blessing that little girl I promise it's from a place of love. ❤
I’m amazed at how patient that baby is. I was such a handful as a kid I hated even having my hair brushed. (I have the same texture as her, maybe even straighter). You did a beautiful job. Your family is lucky to have someone as skilled and loving as you. 💛
Baby Girl knows she as a professional doing her hair! She's so excited to see how it turns out, absolutely no apprehension or fear in that little one!! It's always such a blessing finding ways to bring joy to children's lives.
I use to braid my friends hair when we were in middle school (1996). I remember my friend asking me to do hers on our break in class and I was scared to do it because I’d never braided her hair texture before. I like to see my friends happy so I was up for the challenge/experiment! It came out cute but back then we didn’t have the products that are out now so we used water and hair grease lol 🤦🏽♀️. You made her day like I made my friends day. So sweet. ❤
You take your amazing creativity and skill and make this little girl feel so special. My mom never took care of my afro and I had a horrible self image. I used to sweep hair, make coffee and clean up at a salon my mom worked at when I was in middle school, yes she was a cosmetologist and very talented, but it was the salon owner, Cathy, and two of the ladies, Rosita & Lisa, that used to care for my hair. Rosita spent the most time with me and even did some cute braid designs that my friends thought were cool. By the time I was in high school they had my hair looking cute. They would perm, condition, color my hair. I still think about them and I am 49. I have tried finding them and wish I could just to thank them. I miss them in my life. They made me feel special just like you are making that little girl feel. People like you make the biggest changes in children's lives. **Salon was Nature's Hairport.
Braiding is such a beautiful art. Whenever I see a girl or woman with beautiful braids I have to compliment them. My neighbor is an MD student and she always comes and shows me when she gets a new style. Thank you for sharing this jaw dropping style. She was such a sweetie.
This is so wonderful! When I was a kid my best friends' momma got me an appointment to have my hair professional braided. I will never forget how special I felt! ❤
I braid all textures, I live in england so straight hair is about 70% of my customers. I so need to get bk on CZcams. U r so inspiring! Thanks for sharing 😊
Actually I prefer the gel/jam for my girls because it lasts all day when they play or have sports. Hair spray tends to lift on my kids. Your hair art is absolutely gorgeous and I love your videos!! I’ve learned so much about hair texture and what to use for my kids hair. ❤❤
I love this idea - might even try on my own hair 😅. This little girl is so good while having her hair done. My niece is so tender headed that if she sees a brush, she runs. The girl is stunning, too Thank you for sharing this!
I'm a white woman who learned how to braid/corn row my bi-racial kids hair during the covid shutdown. Parting takes me forever because I'm a bit of a perfectionist. When I tried to do my own braids to my hair...yeah it took way to long to just part my hair and couldn't seem to get my braids to look equal and just wore it around the house 😅 You did amazing girl! 😊
I’m a Mexican woman who started doing it when I was a little girl with my best friend. We were nine and 10 years old when we started doing each other’s hair at sleep overs. She’s a nun now. We’re 41 and 42. It’s been a long and beautiful friendship. All I do now for her (and for the last 20 years) is simple haircuts. But I still braid her brother and niece’s hair.
See this is why i feel bad for biracials with cave mothers. You know damn well you shouldn't be putting braids in that child's head 💀💀. Their hair is a mixture between cave texture and black texture, teach them how to care for that instead of forcing black hairstyles onto them which you know their hair can't handle 🤣🤣
@@zainubshabazz5048 I’m Mexican. I’m very proud of my culture. Though I have great respect for the cultures of others, I have no interest in adopting anyone else’s. I have no interest in wearing the hairstyles of other cultures if that is a concern to you. I help *my* family with _their_ hair at their request. That’s our business.
I used to work at salons, I always specialised in braids. Usually I got black clients but one day I got a white girl with extremely straight hair. I figured I could deal with it like relaxed hair, I'm not gonna lie to u , it was a disaster. Little strands sticking out everywhere😢. I learned u can't deal with all textures the same way. This is beautiful thou
I'm a white mom with white kids.. it truly it frustrating lol I watch braiding videos and I'm like... Mm that would never work with our hair. I try to do cool braids but usually stick to pigtail braids.. plus I don't want to get told I'm appropriating something which is always a stress to me
yeah white hair and asian hair often is so slippery, so its hard to keep it from slipping out as you go and having pieces stick out everywhere. thats why a lot of white braided hairstyles are seemingly 'loose' on purpose to give that illusion that its on purpose
@@pandapower5902 note also that straight hair is often thin and lacks volume because of no texture, so the "loose on purpose" look also gives the hair volume that 3-4 hair doesn't really need. It's not just to hide the flyaways. (In any case the flyaways are unavoidable, keep the same braid for a whole day and it will get more and more messy, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way).
I have fine hair like this little girl and I use water to style as well. Inside out french braids in two rows down the back, parted in the center, are pretty easy and look nice on my texture hair. first learn to french braid two braids down your head, then just flip the procedure so instead of taking hair and going over the braid you're making, you bring it under. so it stands up like a braid instead of the gathers you see in french braiding.
How is this even possible!?!? I'm in awe! I have similar hair & I could _never._ The artistry of braid styles that would actually work in straight-textured hair is amazing in itself, but how perfectly you did the style is SOMETHING ELSE! It's super-beautiful, & your niece is an absolute cutie too. She was very patient, & she's lucky to have such an awesome auntie.
Little viking/Nordic princess! Thank you for recreating the styles of my ancestors! The OG braids, rows, locks, etc. You created a heart-shaped crown for this viking queen! Love you for this!
My hair is exactly like hers in color and texture, and I struggle so badly to braid it at all because it slides everywhere. Thanks for being so kind and patient. 💜
My 14 year old daughter saw me watching one of your videos a few days ago, and now she watches ❤. This style turned out so beautifully! She looks so super cute! 🤗💕
Ive always been obsessed with the braids black people do And since my parents wouldve never been able to afford them for me and the only afro hairstylist in town looked at me like "tf you doing here white girl"... Well i watched alot of tutorials and did alot of braiding on myself I am so impressed with how you did her hair It absolutely seems like it is so much easier to do on super curly texture hair because mine is slippery af and really wants to do whatever it wants. So hard to get everything neat and stay in place and hold the tension. You did amazing!!!
Oh My! What talent and kindness! You can tell she love, love, loved her pretty style! You are wonderful! It reminded me of when my friend did my hair like in the movie '10' - showing my age here! Love your videos - watching for my grand daughters!
How i wish we could have been friends when my daughters were young! I was blessed with 3 daughters (white) who all had gorgeous long, thick straight hair. I lack the skills and dexterity to more than ponytails or a regular hanging braid in the back, or one on each side. It's like my brain knows what to do but my fingers refused to do what they were told 😂 I'm insanely jealous of people with your skills and talent, you're amazing! I saw a video of you doing your daughter's hair, what beautiful and healthy hair and scalp. It's obvious you know your stuff!
This is similar to my kids'hair texture, and I have to admire your dexterity working with the teeny tiny starting pieces of those braids. I cannot keep hold of them and get them started properly when I start that small. It is so "crawly" and slides right out of my hands. My kids always get chunky braids without fine detail. Great skill and expertise!
Awww, bless her heart ❤️ she sat well to get pretty, compliments of Ms. Dutchess. She looks so pretty 😍. Please enjoy your vacation, Ms. Dutchess you are so good with doing hair. I love watching your videos. God's continued blessings to you and yours 🙏🏾 💞
My neighbor when i was little used to braid my hair. I loved it and always felt so beautiful when she was done! I miss those days because it was such a fun experience for me and my friend!
You did such a good job. It looks so good. The fact that you were able to do this without drenching her hair in water ever 3 minutes, A+++ professional!
Thank you for posting! And including us fine straight haired ladies and girls! You make it look so easy. My mom couldn't even do a French braid (and she's French Canadian - what happened?). When I was her age I'd have been begging for your braids, too.
You are so versatile in your craft. You never cease to amaze me! You made her even more beautiful. She's an absolute doll! Also, I had been meaning to ask you what your actual name was because I figured Duchess was just your business name. Idk, I just like to address people by their name. Lol. Keep these magnificent videos coming, love. I'm HERE FOR IT! Do you hear me?!!🙌🏼💪🏽❤️🔥🤗😘😘😘
WOW! You did a wonderful job and she did a fantastic job staying put. 😊 I’ve always wanted my hair done like this, tight braids, but one of my best friend (she’s black) won’t let me do it. I have chronic migraines. I think it just looks so “clean”. You two are lucky and blessed to have each other. 🤗
I am too young to have a child, I am too young to have a child, I am too young to have a child- She is so precious! Now I want a daughter to give heart braids to! These kids are so lucky to have you as their Auntie :)
The one time I went to get micro braids in my hair. Straight, Native American genetics, hair. I had it long and I was getting tired of it tangling at the time. So I went to a business that specialized in micro braiding and extensions. I walked in and everyone in that place stared at me like I was crazy or had grown two heads. I got self conscious, but really wanted the micro braids. I went up to the appointments desk and asked if they had an opening for someone to get micro braids. I was asked when would my friend be there to get the braids, they had an opening in about a hour. I said to them, I'm not here for a friend, I'm here to get the braids for myself. The lady literally laughed at me to my face, then got a look on her face, "You're serious? You do know we do black women's hair, not white chicks' hair?" My response was, I am Native American. Why does my skin color or ethnicity matter if I am willing to pay you for the work? Which, now I am not going to ask for, but thank you for showing me just how racist a place can be with "white" chicks in photos in your windows. I walked out and went to the mall and donated my long hair for cancer kids. Took me years to grow my hair out again, but I'll never go to get micro braids sadly. I love seeing videos like this though. I would have loved to met this woman when I had wanted to get the micro braids. I would have probably gotten a lot more hairstyles I have seen and loved the look of. I already have thick hair, just because it is not curly, it has a similar texture and care needs.
That is SO cute!!! One thing to remember with very light skin, if one is going to be out in full sun for more than 15 min, put a bit of sunscreen on the bare skin of the hair parts else the skin will burn. Or put on some kind of cover over the exposed hair parts. Nothing ruins the week like a sunburn!
I can't wait until my daughter's hair grows out enough so I can do this! Fabulous work and just an amazing person!! And all the kids' you've styled are absolutely adorable!!!!!!
Love it! I am not good with Dutch braids. I did a similar French racer braid top and bottom for my niece several years ago for her school dance. She loved it. It was not a heart, it was a top racer French braid meeting a lower racer French braid pulled together to one side. My niece also has to ton of hair and pin straight. I love braiding her hair. I love this braid in the heart shape, I would even love it if it was just a crown braid I think, love your technique so beautiful!
I have been doing all kinds of braids on my hair since I was a child. It is only recently that I added any kind of oil to the braids, probably inspired from videos like this or more textured hair. The results are fantastic. Can’t wait to try something like this on my granddaughter! Thanks for the inspiration.
This is an incredibly kind gesture towards the kids. Her hair is beautiful.
Thank You! Mother-in-law said they all watched it together and was just laughing and smiling the whole time!!

I figured I could deal with it like relaxed hair, I'm not gonna lie to u , it was a disaster. Little strands sticking out everywhere😢. I learned u can't deal with all textures the same way. This is beautiful thou
I braided a white friend’s hair back in college. What did I use? Water. It helped.
I'm a white mom with white kids.. it truly it frustrating lol I watch braiding videos and I'm like... Mm that would never work with our hair. I try to do cool braids but usually stick to pigtail braids.. plus I don't want to get told I'm appropriating something which is always a stress to me
yeah white hair and asian hair often is so slippery, so its hard to keep it from slipping out as you go and having pieces stick out everywhere. thats why a lot of white braided hairstyles are seemingly 'loose' on purpose to give that illusion that its on purpose
@@pandapower5902 note also that straight hair is often thin and lacks volume because of no texture, so the "loose on purpose" look also gives the hair volume that 3-4 hair doesn't really need. It's not just to hide the flyaways. (In any case the flyaways are unavoidable, keep the same braid for a whole day and it will get more and more messy, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way).
I have fine hair like this little girl and I use water to style as well. Inside out french braids in two rows down the back, parted in the center, are pretty easy and look nice on my texture hair. first learn to french braid two braids down your head, then just flip the procedure so instead of taking hair and going over the braid you're making, you bring it under. so it stands up like a braid instead of the gathers you see in french braiding.
I don't think I could do this, but I love watching the process. Amazing precision. Honestly this is art. Lucky little girl!
How is this even possible!?!? I'm in awe! I have similar hair & I could _never._ The artistry of braid styles that would actually work in straight-textured hair is amazing in itself, but how perfectly you did the style is SOMETHING ELSE! It's super-beautiful, & your niece is an absolute cutie too. She was very patient, & she's lucky to have such an awesome auntie.
She didn't flinch one time....love Duchess. The braid style was son cute!!
Little viking/Nordic princess! Thank you for recreating the styles of my ancestors! The OG braids, rows, locks, etc. You created a heart-shaped crown for this viking queen! Love you for this!
My hair is exactly like hers in color and texture, and I struggle so badly to braid it at all because it slides everywhere. Thanks for being so kind and patient. 💜
My 14 year old daughter saw me watching one of your videos a few days ago, and now she watches ❤. This style turned out so beautifully! She looks so super cute! 🤗💕
Awww! Tell her I said hello, and thank you both for watching 💗💕
Her hair looks beautiful! Big up yourself Nicole!! She is so cute!
She is adorable and her turned out so cute.🙏🏾💫
Yes she is! Thank You! 💗
Beautiful styling! Your little model did a wonderful job sitting still. ❤
Oh what a cute little mama🥰 you surely made her day and did an amazing job with her hair🙌🏾👌🏾💗
Getting ones hair done in any style or method they choose should be an enjoyable experience shared by all. ❤❤
There's nothing like kids running 🏃♀️ to u with love ❤. My niece's practically tackle me every time we meet and it's the sweetest thing ever 😊.
Ive always been obsessed with the braids black people do
And since my parents wouldve never been able to afford them for me and the only afro hairstylist in town looked at me like "tf you doing here white girl"...
Well i watched alot of tutorials and did alot of braiding on myself
I am so impressed with how you did her hair
It absolutely seems like it is so much easier to do on super curly texture hair because mine is slippery af and really wants to do whatever it wants. So hard to get everything neat and stay in place and hold the tension.
You did amazing!!!
Oh My! What talent and kindness! You can tell she love, love, loved her pretty style! You are wonderful! It reminded me of when my friend did my hair like in the movie '10' - showing my age here! Love your videos - watching for my grand daughters!
Yayyyy!!!!! I’m excited for her 🥰 Little One is lovely and so patient, and the final product is fabulous!
You did a beautiful job.
This is adorable! I think its neat that she can wear it a few days in too before she has to take it out.
Wow, she sat so well. You are so gifted ❤
How i wish we could have been friends when my daughters were young! I was blessed with 3 daughters (white) who all had gorgeous long, thick straight hair. I lack the skills and dexterity to more than ponytails or a regular hanging braid in the back, or one on each side. It's like my brain knows what to do but my fingers refused to do what they were told 😂 I'm insanely jealous of people with your skills and talent, you're amazing! I saw a video of you doing your daughter's hair, what beautiful and healthy hair and scalp. It's obvious you know your stuff!
Awe! Thank you for taking time out of your vacation to do these girls hair. Love this first one!😍❤
This is similar to my kids'hair texture, and I have to admire your dexterity working with the teeny tiny starting pieces of those braids. I cannot keep hold of them and get them started properly when I start that small. It is so "crawly" and slides right out of my hands. My kids always get chunky braids without fine detail.
Great skill and expertise!
Awww, bless her heart ❤️ she sat well to get pretty, compliments of Ms. Dutchess. She looks so pretty 😍. Please enjoy your vacation, Ms. Dutchess you are so good with doing hair. I love watching your videos. God's continued blessings to you and yours 🙏🏾 💞
Thanks love for watching and supporting with your beautiful comment!
Always 💞
My neighbor when i was little used to braid my hair. I loved it and always felt so beautiful when she was done! I miss those days because it was such a fun experience for me and my friend!
It’s a work of art - so beautiful and mesmerizing to watch you create this! ❤
Beautiful work!!! Ur little model is adorable
She really is! Thank You! 💗
You did such a good job. It looks so good. The fact that you were able to do this without drenching her hair in water ever 3 minutes, A+++ professional!
Thank you for posting! And including us fine straight haired ladies and girls! You make it look so easy.
My mom couldn't even do a French braid (and she's French Canadian - what happened?). When I was her age I'd have been begging for your braids, too.
You are so patient and gentle with her ❤ I know she was so excited to have this beautiful style in her hair. Fantastic!
Que belleza de niña! !!! quedó super linda !!!!! abrazo desde Uruguay
Way too cute. She's beautiful with her braids❤
❤❤❤
You are so versatile in your craft. You never cease to amaze me! You made her even more beautiful. She's an absolute doll! Also, I had been meaning to ask you what your actual name was because I figured Duchess was just your business name. Idk, I just like to address people by their name. Lol. Keep these magnificent videos coming, love. I'm HERE FOR IT! Do you hear me?!!🙌🏼💪🏽❤️🔥🤗😘😘😘
It’s Nicole and Thank You so much! 💗
WOW! You did a wonderful job and she did a fantastic job staying put. 😊 I’ve always wanted my hair done like this, tight braids, but one of my best friend (she’s black) won’t let me do it. I have chronic migraines. I think it just looks so “clean”. You two are lucky and blessed to have each other. 🤗
Gorgeous ❤️. She sat very well and she looks so cute. I love it. You're so talented.
Yes she did! ☺️
She did soo well! You are an artist! Absolutely beautiful!
So cute! Gosh, seeing her super fine hair reminds me of my childhood.
She's beautiful. Her hair is so pretty!😍
I am too young to have a child, I am too young to have a child, I am too young to have a child-
She is so precious! Now I want a daughter to give heart braids to! These kids are so lucky to have you as their Auntie :)
Heart melting. Love this. Such a wonderful thing you did for the littles. Beautiful hairstyle ❤
One word! Beautiful ❤️
Thank You! 💗
I just know all them babies loved it. So beautiful.
The one time I went to get micro braids in my hair. Straight, Native American genetics, hair. I had it long and I was getting tired of it tangling at the time. So I went to a business that specialized in micro braiding and extensions. I walked in and everyone in that place stared at me like I was crazy or had grown two heads. I got self conscious, but really wanted the micro braids. I went up to the appointments desk and asked if they had an opening for someone to get micro braids. I was asked when would my friend be there to get the braids, they had an opening in about a hour. I said to them, I'm not here for a friend, I'm here to get the braids for myself. The lady literally laughed at me to my face, then got a look on her face, "You're serious? You do know we do black women's hair, not white chicks' hair?" My response was, I am Native American. Why does my skin color or ethnicity matter if I am willing to pay you for the work? Which, now I am not going to ask for, but thank you for showing me just how racist a place can be with "white" chicks in photos in your windows.
I walked out and went to the mall and donated my long hair for cancer kids. Took me years to grow my hair out again, but I'll never go to get micro braids sadly. I love seeing videos like this though. I would have loved to met this woman when I had wanted to get the micro braids. I would have probably gotten a lot more hairstyles I have seen and loved the look of. I already have thick hair, just because it is not curly, it has a similar texture and care needs.
She is beautiful and I love the way you did her hair ❤
Originally I was just surprised she sat still all that time until you zoomed out and I saw she had that learning pad to keep her occupied. Lol
same lol i was like what is she looking at
i came across your channel a few months back and i just want to say you are so so talented and all of your braiding looks so perfect!😘💕
That is SO cute!!!
One thing to remember with very light skin, if one is going to be out in full sun for more than 15 min, put a bit of sunscreen on the bare skin of the hair parts else the skin will burn. Or put on some kind of cover over the exposed hair parts. Nothing ruins the week like a sunburn!
So beautiful!! Something fun to try with my daughter!! Thank you for the inspiration. ❤️🥰
Her hair was so pretty and you so nice.
I can't wait until my daughter's hair grows out enough so I can do this! Fabulous work and just an amazing person!! And all the kids' you've styled are absolutely adorable!!!!!!
Love it! I am not good with Dutch braids. I did a similar French racer braid top and bottom for my niece several years ago for her school dance. She loved it. It was not a heart, it was a top racer French braid meeting a lower racer French braid pulled together to one side. My niece also has to ton of hair and pin straight. I love braiding her hair. I love this braid in the heart shape, I would even love it if it was just a crown braid I think, love your technique so beautiful!
This was awesome 👍! Being able to do different textures of hair is truly a gift!😊😊😊😊😊
She sat so well for you and it looks beautiful!
She is beautiful with that sensational hair style you gave her! Great job with silky crazy moving hair!
So cute! Even a cute wedding do!
Very cute!
Amazing job! I have been struggling to French braid for years! You make it look easy, what an artist u r ❤
I have been doing all kinds of braids on my hair since I was a child. It is only recently that I added any kind of oil to the braids, probably inspired from videos like this or more textured hair. The results are fantastic. Can’t wait to try something like this on my granddaughter! Thanks for the inspiration.
She looks so cute. I love the style.
That is gorgeous! My daughter is a competitive gymnast and that would be an amazing comp style.
Wow! Such beautiful talent and technique! How I wish I could braid like that! What a gift! Love it!
She sat SO well! And looked so sweet at the end, love it!
This is beautiful! I might try it on my daughter. She has beautiful golden red hair with some waves/curls. This will look stunning on her.
That’s a beautiful style, love watching you work. You’re very talented ❤
Beautiful job! The girls are so good & your so gentle with them. God bless you all!
Her hair looks amazing. She sat so good as well. If I did this with my daughters they would scream the house down.
Adorable! My eyes were sweating seeing her smile at the end 😊
Beautifully done & effortless execution
This lil baby is soooooo happy right now! 🤩
You executed that style perfectly! This lil cutie did a fantastic job, too… she is adorable!💖
You are amazing!!! Love that you spread the hair love ❤️
