How to french braid your own hair in one part 

My arms ache after 5 seconds 😐

This is the first and only French braid tutorial that I felt confident after watching. Very thorough and educational, thanks!

Finally, a French braid tutorial that makes sense and gets through to the seriously hair challenged. Thank you so much!!!

French braiding is so hard when you have thick hair, it goes all over the place! And my aching arm is not helping.

Yay! I did it! I've been french braiding for over 20 years , I do my daughter's almost daily, but have never been able to french braid my own. Until now! Thank you!

Omg I always lose the middle and have no idea where it went and my arms are dying :(((((((

I seriously want to chop all of my fingers off 😤😤😤 I know how to braid but my fingers just don't know where and how to hold each piece 😩 #girlstruggles

Amazing! Thank you! I've been trying to french braid my hair forever and all the instructional videos never really showed how to do it clearly until your video! Never realized it was so easy to french braid!

Don't ever dye your hair! Beautiful color!

One of the best french braid videos on youtube. If you follow her instructions, you can do it. Don't give up and practice. Very well done! Thank you

I can finally French braid my hair!! After several failed attempts, I had given up years ago. Now that my hair is really long, I miss having it braided so I decided to try again. After watching your tutorial, I was able to braid my hair on the first attempt!! It was a little sloppy, but I undid my hair and tried again and it was perfect! Thanks for the tutorial. I didn't realize it was so easy!!

I want you to know, that I actually learned how to french braid my hair from watching this video way back in 2011. So thank you for making it and posting it.

I can't ever keep track of the three pieces I always loose the middle one 😕

Omg!!!! I've watched so many tutorials getting confused because they went so fast! I'm glad you went slow, because I finally got it! Thank you so much!

Finally!!!! I never knew how easy french braiding can be. I've always had my mom braid my hair but not anymore!!!

Yes, thank you! You made it really simple. I especially love that you encouraged us that we'll pick up how it's easiest to hold all three strands in one hand. As a beginner, this is a challenge for me. Glad to hear it becomes easier with practice. Thanks so much. You're a great teacher. And I love your beautiful red-toned hair. Looks gorgeous with the blue you're wearing. ❤

Oh my god this is so easy to understand, I've been trying to learn how to do this for forever. THANK YOU

you have gorgeous hair! my sisters a red head too and I've always been jealous of her hair

After so many failed attempts YOU taught me how to do my own hair in one go! Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you for this video! I just recently started learning to French braid my own hair at 31 years old after braiding other girls' for years (including my daughter). The tip to hold all three pieces of hair in one hand and switch back and forth is so helpful! How to add in the new hair has been the biggest struggle and that has made a huge difference. Thank you again!

omg you explained that better than anyone has ever explained this to me lol thanks!!!

I could do anything on anyone else's hair, but not my own. Now I've got it, and if your arms hurt keep pushing through! Thank you so much!

Omg 😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😒😒😒😒😒 I'm giving up this is getting me so annoyed 😒😒😒😒😒 my hands are doing something else and my hair keeps moving and my arms really hurt 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 honestly I don't think I'll ever think about doing this myself

I wanted to know how to frech braid for so many years, other RU-vidr don't explain in detail and that's what makes me frustrated. For the first time, I finally understood it, thank you so so much. I don't know what I've would have done without thank you! Thank you! thank you!

I watched other videos on how to do this but those people did not explain as good as you do

I can braid others hair, but never have been able to braid my own. I watched your tutorial twice and did the best braid on my own hair I ever have and I'm almost 40! I will keep practicing, thanks for posting!

This actually helped me alot ! thank you!

I'm 24 and you did a great job finally teaching me how to French brad. You did a great job!

OMG!!! thank you for sharing this! you are the first one to show me step by step how to French Braid!

I have over 3 ft of hair and its really thick. It's so hard to do this by yourself. Great tutorial though. Such a pretty girl.

At last i will be able to french braid my hair . my friends usually do it for me and i don't know how . Thank you that was pretty helpful 🤗

I think I've finally learned how to french braid hair! This is amazing! I can't thank you enough! I think watching you do it to your own hair and looking at the back of your head while trying to match the movements you did with your hands is what finally did it. Let's see if this knowledge sticks!

It takes practice, but I have been getting better and better. Thanks a ton sweetheart! This is one of my favorite hairstyles!

Finally I ACTUALLY understood how to do it!!! Best explanation in RU-vid right here!!!

My arms hurt but this is my first successful french braid! Thank you! :) -J

I've been looking at all the french braiding videos and this is the first one that actually helped! Thanks!

Ugh i could do it if I could keep track of which peice of hair is which

this is the only french braiding video that I have come across that actually makes sense. Thank you!!!

I cant do it i give up 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡UGH I DONT KNOW WHERE MY HANDS ARE GOING AND MY ARMS HURT :(

I realize this video was posted 5 years ago but omg this helped me so much. I've never been able to french braid my own hair until I watched this and practice. Thank you very much!!!

This is the best French braid tutorial ever !!!

Yeah I can't do this shit I quit.

I have struggled with french braiding my own hair for a very long time....this video was so helpful :D I have shoulder length hair that is very thick, and on top of that its layered. Even though I can barely get it into a ponytail, your tutorial helped me get my hair to look fairly decent for once! My arms feel like I stuck them in a garbage disposal, but it was worth it. Thankyou so much XD

Thank you this actually makes sense 👍👍👍

You make it look so easy! I too have thick hair and I get all tangled and confused where I'm at then somehow start undoing what I've done. You do a great job explaining. Also yay for redheads with gaps ;) I have a gap too.

I finally did it! After trying for two hours yesterday and my hand cramping, I Learned how to do it. I think the key is to not over think it too much. Good luck to everyone else learning!

I'm almost 25 years old and just learned how to French braid from your video haha. Thanks! :)

Thank you so much for this!!!!!! I haven't been able to do anything cool with my hair for awhile and I just semi-successfully French braided my hair for the first time!

Thanks so much 😃 The small stuff really helped, like holding all your hair in one hand. Been trying to do this for so long. Great vid!

very hard it's like a workout

FINALLY! Tysm every other video didn't really tell you how to do it and they just showed you! So tysm for actually telling me how to do it❤️❤️❤️

Now it looks easy! I've only ever had my hair done that way twice. I really want to try it on my own!

Omg! I'm 29 years old and I just french braided my hair for the first time ever!!! Lol Thank you! Easy to follow :-)

Wow I've been wanting to french braid my hair for soooo long, but I never could get how to do it....but since watching this video, it only took me a few tries get it and now I french braid my hair every day! You explain very well and I like your video! :-)

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?!?!? I've been trying to do this since FOREVER!!!! I'm successfully able to french braid on others but never myself lol I originally clicked on this video out of curiosity, but you made it seem so simple! I happened to have my hairbrush in front of my computer & thought "maybe I'll just try it once..." & you know what?? SUCCESS!!! I mean it came out messy, but still came out as a french braid! :D!!! Definitely will keep on practicing! Thank you sooo much for this! :'D!!!!!!

This is the only video that helped me learn how to do this to my own hair, thanks so much!

I've been periodically trying to learn how to french braid my own hair for AGES. But all of the how-to videos I saw weren't really giving any tips or info about the actual mechanics of doing a nice French braid if you have no experience. After watching your vid, I did my first successful French braid! :D Thank you so much!

You explained the steps very well. Btw you are so pretty and have beautiful hair. So talented🙏

Best video I’ve seen for French braiding yet. I just need some practice!

I've finally done it! It's not perfect but watching this video helped, and doing it with wet hair to start helps keep the hair in place.

This tutorial was the only one to help me. Every other tutorial didn't help at all. I know can do my hair beautifully because of you. I would rate it more than 5 stars!
