Braid help

[BooBoo]

I was wondering if any of u ladies could offer any tips on braiding my own hair. I've looked at that 20 min video..on growalongfro? website but i am still having trouble and its quite frustrating. When i try to attach the hair it's too loose and my hair is poking out of the braid.

Boo Boo, you say that your hair is to loose and poking out...are you doing human hair braids or synthetic? Did you apply the moisturizing gel to your hair before braiding like she suggests in the video? I do my braids all the time. I applied the moisturizing gel to the top section of my hair I then made a loop(with the synthetic or human hair) and braided. The key is you have to grip tighter not enough to pull your hair out(lol) and braid. If you braid loose then you will get a loose braid. I did experience a few hairs poking out but I just applied some of my moisturizing gel to those hairs and they laid down just fine. I'll try to help you the best I can just pm me if you have any ?'s

I saw that video. I don't do my braids like that. I use 3 strings of hair not 2 like the video. All I can say is practice, practice and practice some more until you get it right.
