How i did my Small knotless braids NO GEL ! At home detailed video 

Many braiders need to watch this. Most braiders I’ve used get mad when I tell them I don’t want the product used and they will say “they have to” crazy because back in the day I was getting my hair braided without all that product.

Using she's butter instead of gel, genius. Because the gel makes my hair so itchy 😂 thank you. You did so good

It takes determination and patience to do braids yourself 16:51

Yes in the 90’s we used grease & in the early 2000’s it was hair lotion. This jam/gel thing is new. You look fresh from the braids shop too, you did all of that boop!

You gave me the cheerleading and tips I needed to tackle braiding my own hair! Gurl, the parting almost took me out, but that was my only task day 1. I broke it up into sections and tackled a section everyday until I finished them this morning. It took me an entire week but I did it for the very first time! Knotless, waist-length braids and the first time doing extensions! Thank you Ebony! This video was so VERY helpful! 😊

Your teaching method is great. Don’t be concerned about your vocabulary, there’s nothing wrong with it. People appreciate you just the way you are. Read your comments.❤

I was looking for a knotless tutorial that doesn't use gel. Your braids came out so cute.

Thank you for the Shea butter tip. And letting me realize I'm not patience that's why the back of my head look like a hot wheel track 😂

Best tutorial so far because it shows how this won’t be easy! You not speeding up the parting set realistic expectations and now I am ready to do my own. This helps a lot as an aspiring gym rat cause I need these braids and this will save me money. Thank you!

Girl yes, I really dont like the braiding gel because it holds so much lint at the base of the braids, especially around the perimeter. I would rather use a little oil or shea butter like you did. In mid May through early June I wore crochet braids. I didnt use any braiding gel on the base braids and my hair was nice an pliable upon the take down. I wore the style for 5 weeks and I couldve gone another 3 weeks but I was tired of the style. Bravo for repping the non braiding gel crew!!!

This just motivated me to do small on myself, THANK YOU 😭! I do my hair my self and just don’t ever feel like taking 3 days to do my hair

This is the best DIY knotless braids i have seen. Gurl you did a good job!!!!!!!!!

I love the fact you used shea butter only! Can we say soft neat healthy hair! With no residue.

my old braider never used gel. it isnt needed.

You’re so right about the patience thing bc even tho I have 2 mirrors I just be like f it lol & leave it crooked

Oh lord, here we go 😔 3 day process begins NOW. But I do save money. You did great AGAIN 🎉

I’ve been doing my own box braids for almost two years now, but I’ve always done them really small (about 190-220 on my head😅) because I know the bigger the braids, the more noticeable your parts and each individual braid is. I usually start smedium, but then it all falls apart when I go towards the front of my head and I just have a huge urge to make them small. Yours are so neat and I’m definitely gonna use this parting technique for when I do my own next month😩.

I had a hard time doing feedins on myself it just felt so awkward. Watching your video gives me the confidence to try again and I definitely need to invest in that 3 way mirror.

This is a great video! I never know how to part the back right so there's not an awkward gap. Jealous of that 3 way mirror, lol

So bomb, I’m about to do mines tomorrow, thank you for sharing ❤

Been almost two years since going all natural and doing my own hair as well as starting to braid my own hair so thank you for sharing ❤

U did a good job!!! I always do my own hair and I do smedium. But I want small!! So seeing this encourages me to do small!! Lol

Bomb!! ❤ I just moved to Houston and I definitely want to book with you soon!! I love your work!

She have beautiful hair of her own.

I sincerely appreciate your time and effort to make this video. i've learned a ton from you!! and by the way.. You are amazing doing your own braids!!

They came out so pretty! And i know your natural hair loving that shea butter. Def going to try using shea butter or something similar for ny next set ☺️☺️

You did that Sis!👏🏾 I love your hair!❤ I really appreciate the way you showed the close ups of you feeding in the hair! I planning to do my hair. I bought the hair already and l have the shea butter. I am just waiting for my 3 way mirror from Amazon. I am going to be using your video for reference! I hope my hair comes out as bomb as yours did!🤗 Thanks for sharing!❤

When I tell you you’re amazing! Only video I came across to show me how to add the hair to the braid thank you

🔥🔥🔥 these came out sooo bomb. Nice and neat

omg finally someone who doesn't slap on pounds of gel❤❤❤❤❤❤

You did that, great job!😮

Talent indeed doing all That sectioning yourself ❤

Parting defo needs patience, I hate doing it but happy when my hair looks good when im done

this is what i doo it keeps my hair super moisturized and smoothed ou

I still have to get used to the mirror. But it is mad helpful

The 3 way mirror really does help! Ive struggled to find places to put it tho. Dont nobody wanna be standing up the entire time😫😂🤦🏽‍♀️ where do have yours hanging at?

Got that Rapunzel hair. But the braids do look beautiful love it 👌❤

Definitely did your thing with that parting! 🔥🔥

These look so neat and small like I wish I done mine. I had started just blow-dry my hair and decided on thicker parts😂

I had this idea 😮 glad u did it too ❤❤❤❤

Thanks. So helpful ❤

Absolutely gorgeous braids

You did your thing sis!

I will try this not only because it's cheaper than the most recommended gels but also because it likely won't flake up.

I've been looking for an alternative to use for raids instead of gels. I'm going to try this❤

Try Murray’s pomade just a little on the ends gets all ur flyaways tucked

Best tutorial ever❤

I wanna learn how to braid so bad...uugghh

I ran outta gel!! Thank you! Y did I have to go to RU-vid for dis tho 😂😂😂

Love your content ✨️ 💕

You snapped 🔥🔥🔥🔥

1:00 Shout outs to Brotha Tony G 😘!

Ayyyyyyyeeeee that tony gaskins in the background!!! It’s reallllly realll!

I don't use gel to get neat braids. It's not healthy on my hair and just causes itchiness after day 2. Hair grease and a hair lotion is it! My braids last for 6-8wks and look good to me.

Que bellas, espero tener esa paciencia 😢 quiero hacérmelas así

yessss so talented 🔥

You done did that Ma!.

You did a great job!!! I am trying to learn how to add hair..

Yeassss just motivated me to do my own braids thank you

I’ve tried this years ago and it came out so ugly but you make me wanna try it again lol😅

You did great 🩷

I love this so much, it would be nice if I can do this without gel but the way my 4 c thick hair set up 😢😢😢

I’m going to try and do my own hair tomorrow

Hey! How many packs of hair did you use?

The mirror is very convenient 1:52

Hello beautiful braids , by the way should all Feed in braids be the same size?

SCALP 😂❤❤❤ you did that

love me some Tony Gaskins

I’m sitting here like she favor my cousin ebony 😂😂 then look down and your name is ebony 😂😂😂

I can’t do knotless on my own head for the life of me so I do the other braids and anytime I have more than one day off I don’t braid all in one day unless I have to. My only thing is I get very impatient when I’m parting my own hair 😩😩😩

I cut my babyhairs this one time!! That was a huge mistake... Now i just braid all my hair in and whatevr baby hairs naturally are there I use....Those cut babyhairs had me looking homeless when they werent sleek

Niceeeeee Small Knotless Braids 1:52

You did a great job

Thank you for this much needed tutorial on how to do small knotless, and how much hair to feed in. I only have one question, how many packs did you use??? please

We never did back in my days But my daughter 15 loves it

Beautiful ❤️

3 way mirror 👏🏾

I love Tony!!! 👏🏾🔥

About how many braids did you have ?

Doing mines 2 you are not alone

U did a good job

How many packs of braid u use😊

Pls where did you get the mirror.

I got the three way mirror but haven't used it yet

Shes said "I'm. Tired already" . Lol I would be too after blowing out all that hair lol

Lord have mercy 🥺 14:08

Your braids are pretty

How many packs did you use?

Phenomenal 19:36

I wish you were in Charlotte lol … you do mine and I do yours

I saw your tiktok your also a hairstylist. How can you ask a Braider to not use any gel or edge control on your small knotless braids? Without her getting offended? Also do you think it last longer without it?

What hair type are you Sis?.. Your real hair looks beautiful ❤

How many pieces of hair did you add to each braid?

Hello, You are gorgeous and your hair is beautiful ❤. I hope you are doing well.
