    I watched dozens of videos and yous was the only one that allowed me to see why my braids were so dam loose at the root.
    My pinky and ring finger were resting on my scalp which pulled down on the hair causing a loose root. This was the final step. Thank you soooooo much.
    I immediately subscribed. I want to my tutorial folder a d deleted most of the other videos. I'll watch your others videos.
    I am forever grateful!

    Yes this was great! I am about to do box braids on my stepdaughter for the first time and was just trying to get a good idea of how I want to start at the root! now I am wondering if she will want to do knotless. Are your third and fourth pieces bigger than the first two? I can never remember if you start off small and end with bigger pieces or the other way. I want to only use about four pieces. Thank you so much for this!

    • @NiqueLynn
      @NiqueLynn  4 года назад

    How Many Times Do You Section Out The Bag Of Hair For A Certain Size Braid?

    • @NiqueLynn
      @NiqueLynn  4 года назад

      Thats a great question. However it really depends on the hair that you are using because different brands my have different amounts of hair in the bag. So, for example if I am doing medium box braids. I get about 8-10 pieces per bag. It's also can depend on how thick or thin your client wants their braids as well. 😊
