EASY & NEAT JUMBO BOX BRAIDS (elastic band method) 

I am embarrassed to admit this but I am a 40 yr old white woman that didn’t know what box braids were. I read an article today that mentioned them so I wanted to know more. I now have soooooo much respect for the amount of time/work that goes into the hair on women of color. This was such a well done video, I watched the whole thing enthralled. You are absolutely gorgeous, and even tho I might not be your target market I am so glad I took the time to learn more about other women in the world! 💪🏽💃🏽🥰

You know, I'm getting real tired of coming on here n seeing you and other youtubers making stuff look so easy, giving me a large boost of confidence to try stuff only to have me looking crazy in these streets! 😂😂😂 Your final look was magical by the way❤❤❤

I tried this today on my hair, I've NEVER been a braider, like ever!!! I've always went to someone else to do my hair, so when she says beginner friendly, she is NOT lying. I love the way my hair turned out!!!!!!!!!!!! I've done 2 other styles from this channel to! She is def in my top 3 favorite youtubers now!! Love her whole vibe and everything she represents!!

Im just here cause i like the way Black women look with braids😄♥️

There's not one NOT ONE hairstyle you've done that I didn't like💯💕👌

All licensed braiders that complain about natural hair clients hair needing to be straightened before braiding, need to watch this video. If you can't work with both natural and relaxed hair you need to practice, practice, practice honey. This beautiful by the way.

I did my daughter hair and she liked it. Her exact words. “I use to be jealous Aaliyah had a mom that could do hair, now my momma can “ Thanks to this video.

I successfully tried this on my 9 year old and it turned out so pretty. She is so happy. I have NEVER braided in hair on my girls. Your video made me want to try. So I went crazy and did all three of my daughters hair in different styles watching your videos. Thank you!

The rubber band method has changed the game for me.

When you have your makeup slayed, do your own hair then do the editing and upload this video..... Plus you are a mommy ! "Bay-beh", you can't tell me women aren't awesome! ❤

Just a tip: If you can’t find small elastic bands or have trouble covering the elastic bands, there’s a safe way to use rubber bands. Coat the rubber bands in oil or hair grease. Coat it completely. This allows the rubber to not snag onto your hair and break it off.

This is literally the first out of about 36 youtube hair tutorials that actually worked and I’m proud to wear outside. THANK YOU!

"To make sure the parts looked pretty decent "...🤔 they are not just decent, they are perfectly straight. My hands could never.

I have never braided my hair before but I watched this video and I did my entire head flawlessly! This tutorial was amazing. I got so many compliments on my hair. People were saying it looked like my braids were done professionally. Thank you so much !!!!

I loved that she really explained how much hair she used for each braid. I'm still a beginner and I always have trouble with knowing how much hair to use and keep it consistent.

Did she really just braid her hair in a turtle neck and leather pants!!?? Hoooowww. My hair brading attire consists of an old t shirt, no bra, and raggedy sweats.

We use to call these Dukie braids. Beautiful!

Kim you be making me mad with your straight parts. My scalp move to much my parts be crooked lol

It's 03:45am and I'm thinking of doing it. Got my extension ready. Pray for me 🙏🏾

Who’s rocking these braids for quarantine?😅

First of all honeyyyyy, anybody who can start their parts with one square on the CORNER of their head is a BOSS! But we knew that about you already! 🤗

Girl you’re a “Jane of all trades”, you’re so bomb at everything you do!

My 15yr old daughter will be doing this to my head this weekend! Thanks for sharing! Your directions were clear and you took your time explaining each step without rushing. Thank you!

This is the method from the early 90s & braids stayed intact a lot longer! These are beautiful

These are beautiful😍!!! Great job boo!!!👏🏽👌🏽 I’m 34 weeks pregnant and these are perfect for someone like me who needs a protective style that’s beautiful, lasts long, and easy to maintain👌🏽Happy new year and May God continue to bless you and yours as well as anyone reading this😇🙏🏽❤️

This usually take me the whole day and my lines r only clean in front 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Imma start doing this for two days.. Day one to section and day two to braid hopefully it will be clean 😂😂😂

I know this video is 2 years old but I just watched it to do my own hair and I did it exactly how you said and my hair came out beautiful. I never thought I could do my own box braid. Never paying any one hundreds of dollars ever for this style that I can now do myself .

This amazing family took me in when I was couch surfing. I live in their home as the “white auntie” of the house! Everyone here has ethnic hair except me! I’m doing my nieces hair and looking for ideas and watching tutorials so that they can go to school with confident and age appropriate styles! Looking forward to trying this one! I love this journey of learning about 4a 4b snd 4c hair and how to make Protective styles!

* runs to the beauty supply store to buy supplies * Lovely look, Kim! Another day, another slay! 😍💁🏾

I really really needed this video two weeks ago. I tried this on my head two weeks ago and have been walking around looking crazy 😭 Now I want to try again!! LOVEEEE IT as always! ❤

How many packs did you use? Edit: in case anyone else was wondering she used 6 1/2 packs. She has 26 braids. She pack got her 4 braids! :) Also great job! :)

Tried this yesterday and after many hrs(it was wash day too) I am happy to report my first attempt turned out well. This is a great video. I made a few minor tweaks as I went along but I am confident my next attempt will turn out even better. Thanks again! This is great tutorial!!!

Love this! You’re braids look so pretty and professionally done. Got me thinking I can braid mine...

I see more naturals are going back to grease! I love it! Grease is life lol

Rubber band method is an easy way for everyone to learn and it has seriously made me start doing my own braids

This tutorial was so helpful, I was able to do my braids by myself for the first time.

I've watched this three times. I'm heading to my local beauty supply today and will post and tag when I'm done. Thanks for the Inspiration!

Your hands are blessed cuz mine would not come out like that

OMG OMG OMG, TYSM I KNOW HOW TO DO BRAIDS WITH WEAVE AT 12 YRS OLD!!!! TYSM! YOU GOT A NEW SUBSCRIBER!!

Yayyy thank you so much for the in-depth tutorial! I just finished putting in box braids and braiding my hair for the first time!!!!

No matter what style you do it just comes out so darn beautiful

Gurl I needed to see this for my current natural hair journey this is a $150 style I can do at home for free#YAYY👍🏽

3 hours? Geez that’s how long it takes me to part half of my hair 😂😂😂

I just want to thank you for creating this channel. It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY when it comes to doing my daughter's hair. I did this style of her yesterday and I used your faux loc tutorial for putting those in her hair as well. Your tutorials are simply a godsend.

Omg love this look on you. I had my hair like this for my bday in September everyone loved it on me. Nice job and the best part about it is that the style was free cause you did it yourself. So you saved yourself $100

I literally just purchased this same exact hair to do my box braids this weekend. I’m going to make mine a little smaller this time. I didn’t have as much versatility last time I made mine that big.

This is about to be my quarantine hairstyle. Jus gorg 😍

Watching this with my 2 year old and he said, “that’s a pretty girl.” 🤯 like you are gorgeous but I’m shoooook!!! Hahahah ♥️

I was looking for a good braiding hairstyle so I can grow my hair out and I find this 😍😍 definitely doing this

Now it's clear to see she did a good job on her hair and she pretty all them thumbs down wow she must have a lot of haters damn that's so insane but thumbs up girl I love luv❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love the elastic bands idea... I've never braided my own hair and I went natural last year and so much growth. I'm going to try this method .

As a beginner in braiding, it was so hard for me to get a good grip on the hair but then i came across this tutorial and lets just say i am very happy now that i can go to places knowing rhat my box braids are secure. Love ya Kim

This may have been the most easiest tutorial I’ve ever seen 😩 protective styling here I come 🙌🏾

I’ve never done this before but you made it look so easy! I’m going to try it. This looks beautiful on you 😍

I loved this tutorial! Easy to follow, nicely explained, giving all the info, inc the length of time it took and how many packs of hair and products used etc. Good lighting and background too👏🏾. Wish more tutorials were like this!

Thank you for this tutorial! I really needed an easy style to do on my head since all the salons are closed now lol. This will be my first time doing weave.

You’re so talented, WOW!!! I’ll be tired from just parting my hair..

You really are the parting queen. Dang!!!

I’ve been confused on how to do these for AWHILE but this tutorial was super easy to follow. I’m about to try doing this now! Thank you💖💖💖

Every time I think of a new style to do my hair; you always have a tutorial!! Appreciate you!

I swear everything you do is just perfect!!!!

Yassss these braids are so epically done. I did something similar with crochets a while back. I've gotta try these giant ones. 😍

Doing this on my foster daughters hair. I'm hoping jumbo braids will make the first time easier/simpler for my first go at them. Your video was so helpful. Wish me luck!

Thank you so much for telling us how many braids you ended up with in your head. No one ever tells us how many braids. I just knew you would include this detail in your video. Thank you!!!

Can't wait to try this style and I really appreciate the tips on maintaining moisture! Very cute ! ❤❤❤❤

Too cute 😍! I do my own as well n they be cute n comfortable just like this n not snatching my edges off!!

BEYOND impressed. My little arthritic fingers are aching just watching this. Beautiful job ❤️

Thank you! You helped me braid my hair myself for the first time ever! And it actually turn out really good 😌❤

Love how you show every detail! Definitely trying this one. Thanks for sharing!

You do it with such ease, lol. I’ll take about 3 hrs alone on the parting🤣

Pretty jumbo braids and you keep your hair healthy !!

Just did this for the quarantine.... my first try... I found some hair in storage and it worked out great 👍🏾 I urge all queens out there to try it..... we deserve to look good through all the BS

I love the top you’re wearing! 👌🏾

You always part so neatly! It's so admirable! Side note : I love your nails!💕🤗

Adding this to my favourites right now! This about to be my new quarantine hair! ❤️

She makes everything look super easy, it’s a gift 😍

You make it look so easy. I swear you and @msvaughntv are hands down the best on here with styling your own hair. You guys should do a collab. Been asking for that since 2013 I think.

I am always amazed when I see you all do braids with long nails . I cant !!!

Kudos to you ladies. I’ve been watching a couple of tutorials on Box braids, Soft locs, faux locs as well and I don’t know have the patience to do my own hair. I don’t even like washing and blow drying my own hair let alone do a whole hair style of briads in my hair

This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I tried it on my daughter for the first time and it came out so good.

Girl you look amazing, this hairstyle is just perfect

This is a sign for me to braid my hair 😩 I bought the hair in July and STILL have not committed to making the time to do my hair 😂

I absolutely LOVE your tutorials, they’ve helped me out soooooo much! 💕💕

I love this way of doing it. I do this on my daughter and it works. 💚

That is totally amazing.. Perfect..and with a lot of patience..You make it look so easy. You are beautiful.

This is my favorite tutorial I think I’ve ever seen. THANK YOU! 🙌🏽
