Hi

[@madialangfaty8227]

I did the second one for small crochet box braids. I love it, it looks so natural and it really protects my hair from breakage therefore helps a lot for the growth. I'm so glad. Thank you, I love your channel. Xoxo from France !

[@SeunOkimi]

That is awesome!

Thank you for your much needed video.

Thank you!

[@jacquil1623]

Hi Seun, I'm so glad I found your '3 years worth' of videos. I'm from London UK, but I now live in a small area in Italy, where there aren't many black people and literally no hairdresser for black hair. I have spent many years ruining my hair, but you've made braiding, crocheting and weaving look so doable...So I'm going to start doing my own protective hairstyles. Thank you.

[@SeunOkimi]

Aww, so happy to help!!!

[@TheTishbell]

Had my stylist do this pattern today! Looks amazing!

[@CorettaJohn]

ALL THAT HAIR I WOULD BE WEARING A PONYTAIL ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! WOW!!!

[@corrinak8554]

Excellent instructiions. The braiding patterns options are great! I am esoecially grateful for the reminders a/b braiding tensions , tips for transitioning hair into cornrow, and cornrow size matching crochet hair extensions. Pearls of wisdom are deeply appreciated.

Aw, thank you so much! So happy to help!

[@lexij5034]

This was very helpful, I’ve wanted to try crochet braids a couple of times but never did because the standard braiding patterns don’t make them look as realistic, thank you 🤗❣️

You can flat twist if you cant braid

Everyone can use a nice break and protective styles are beneficial at any length.

I honestly just learned how to braid pretty good and this is going to help me so much thanks Queen 👸🏾☺️🙌🏾👏🏾🔥✨🙏🏽

[@tamikojefferson3100]

I love both of these braid patterns I will definitely have to try them

[@roseisreading]

Wow this is a great quick & easy pattern!! I have 26" hair and it can be work crocheting it smoothly so it's not lumpy when you sleep at night or lay on your back. I usually split it into 4 braids & crochet those in.
It falls great, I install with 30" freetress medium #30 color box braids.
TBH I don't care a ton about it looking like individuals... it is crochet & takes 3 hours to install so I am not expecting results of something that takes 11 hours to install!!

Lovely hair lovely look , God made you perfectly
Thanks for the patterns too , great 👍

[@SeunOkimi]

Aw thank you so much❤️❤️

[@maryjflanagan1922]

I am going to try the second pattern again. My Teacher school photo turned out very nicely with my braids in the second pattern. My hair was very jard to braid as it's short. But since I started doing it, its gotten twice as long. I also do box brainds in the front with crochet braids in the back. I hope adding the cuban twist hair to my cornrows will make it an easier, more successful install. Thanks for sharing!

[@SeunOkimi]

Yes! I love that. God luck!!

[@dionamarie2845]

The best patterns I’ve found! Thank you for sharing these😍

[@mizzfit574]

Forget the braid patterns girrrrl !!! We need a demo on how you got your REAL hair so long !!!!! Your real hair is beautiful !!! Why are you wearing braids !!!!!!

[@KO-D00M]

Most likely by doing protective styles such as these featured in the vid! Keep your hair tucked away for most of the time to avoid excess manipulation and your hair WILL grow when coupled with other habits such as hydrating, moisturizing, trimming when necessary, etc.

[@canreach100subswithnovideo3]

Cause RUclips says black women need to hide and suffocate their crowns for months at a time because it’s “protective styling”

[@MsMufet03]

I have long natural hair and I never did “protective styling”, didn’t see the point but after 10+ years of being natural I got bored with my hair. I tried crochet braids a few months ago and I absolutely loved it. It was a way for me to switch up my style without damaging my own hair. I can have a shorter length without cutting and a different color temporarily plus I get a break from doing my hair every day 😃

[@KO-D00M]

@@canreach100subswithnovideo3 Is this directed toward me? In any case, "hide and suffocate" are negative connotations for a good reason, and that's definitely not the implication of my response. Keeping ends tucked away is a great addition when trying to protect hair and retain length... RUclips or not. Black woman or not.
People do grow hair without keeping ends tucked away, but to avoid possible counterproductive efforts, it's would be wise to keep ends tucked away... which legitimate protective styles support.
As an example, month-long twists on a person's natural hair is a legitimate protective style which aids in length retention. And that style doesn't "hide" or "suffocate."

[@SeunOkimi]

Haha, check out the videos on my channel! But basically the key is protective styling!

[@Frm_nature]

Ok I’m so mad I’m a whole year or more late to this party lol I love me some box braids but rarely get them bc they are indeed heavy and i just dnt have the patience to sit that long these days. I never did the crochet BB bc they all looked so unnatural but these patterns......😍 I love them both!!! I dnt usually do middle parts bc I have a widows peak but I am absolutely trying both of these! Thanks dollface!

You do the foundation soo neatly. I really wana learn how to crotchet my hair ✨

[@ladonnasims2701]

Thankyou for all your help in braiding. You have beautiful long hair

[@SeunOkimi]

You are so welcome. Thank you!

[@shekinah533]

I love this braiding style pattern for the front of the hair but you never really showed us what the back looked like. I love that style because I find it difficult with long hair beyond the shoulders, a braiding pattern that keeps your crochet flat. Always trying to loop the rest of your hair within the braids and keeping the crochet flat without looking clunky.

[@amelialevenson2026]

Your hair real hair is beautiful! I love the braid pattern and the way the diagonal braids made the extensions lay nicely. Thanks for the video. I’m doing this protective style to give my hair a rest- I’m trying to get length like yours- just lovely! 🥰

[@adassa1132]

I'm really bad at doing that type of cainrow, I can never seem to get the parting straight at the same width from beginning to end. I can only do the usual two from the centre or side parting and do the cainrows at the side of my head lol! I find that whenever I do these type of cainrow the plait doesn't stay it eventually loosens because of my hair quality, I will probably have to include a strand of synthetic hair to help keep the cainrow. I'm gonna have to practice my partings now as I'm gonna try and do the crotchet braids as another form of my protective hair styles.🤞🏾 Wish me luck.
