I am done, but what a beautiful people thanks for tuning in I appreciate you, you know I do okay, so welcome back to another. Video in this video is about being brave on my head: oh my goodness, yeah. These are some things that people didn't tell you before. You got brave these things he loved me before I got brains. You know I'm probably like today, but you didn't tell us you it's getting brains, we could have told you could have warned you. No it's too late, they already in my head, so I just want to get a few things off my people to tell me about the itch level. Okay, so I'm going through it right now. Am i okay? So really quick? Yes, I know I should just soak the braiding hair in the apple cider, vinegar and water. Before I put it in my knee, I know get out to fill as y'all like I bought the hair right before I was just like: hey nice. How is itchy go around it? You, okay, that ain't cute, then ain't cute to me that ain't cute and I will wake up - see. Oh that's so noble, I'm not to add that to the list. I don't knock myself out. It'S gon na be in general, though. Like my Mitch be mad cuz, I'm you trying to sit up better, you know, try to have a better posture and my necks still mad did the braise are still heavy and I have any breeze. I don't only imagine it forgot the whole hey like this. I can only think about the people that get smaller braids or chunkier braids or the buns braids all over. I'M sorry, I don't look quickly but yeah. You thought that I just hit myself in the face by mistake. I don't know that this was dangerous. I didn't know I could knock myself out by just turning left or right. I got time for that yeah, I'm saying it gets when you're brushing your teeth and you're washing your face. So I'm time laying forward. Let'S just give you an example: okay, I'm trying to lean forward right. This is what's happening. It'S on my latch. It'S I'm Leah forward and the hair my way you probably Junaid. Well duh girl, put you here in a ponytail. Sometimes I love my hair punky. Also y'all didn't tell me: I'm gon na have to pay attention to my edges in a month, but I'd be like every Tuesdays. I might don't don't tonight we'll catch it, don't pull too much. Cuz you'll catch your edge. Is it it's? Okay, I checked my edges. Every five minutes to make sure I'm good and y'all know I've got one look baby hands to hold me over anyway. So it's like look what I got. I got keep also even when I'm using the restaurant, because they're so low along because they're so long when I sit down they kind of come with me. So if I'm moving forward in time it could go and it's Willy no antelope. You know what I mean like, but I'm just saying I'm just saying it's like hanging out with me while trying to like what oh, my also they tight bull, they tight, Johnny, tell me it was gon na be tight, like that. I was not from her. So after she got done now, she did a great job, but my Scott was mad because I haven't had a brace like that. I have to have braids and I'm minutes if I was like he like, probably like preteens, and I didn't really get extensions like that. Either so this is kind of like brand new to my head - oh my god, so come on. You want some believe I shouldn't have to take another leave enough a deal for some brains. Hey ain't, no sleep! You! You pay sleep, you can sleep with these, especially on the first two nights of sleeping and I like sleep me and sleep. We like best frenemies, you know, I'm saying - and I came to me - that is the heart - gives me really emotional right. There you saw so they had. This is really an off me up hot, but they follow you there with you can't even like leave them there with you got ta. Tell me how hot I would eat. That was never like a topic of discussion, so I met also the lettuce but not lilies. They just always in my way like when I'm trying to pull my shirt off they in my way they get stuck in your shirt and you got ta put them out. That'S you make, are don't come back, you don't say that I could it's just always them also didn't tell me. I was gon na be feeling myself cuz, I'm feeling myself, I'm myself, I'm feeling, like you can't tell me a thing. I lovely to give y'all a couple of things John and tell me about before I got these braids and yeah. I just want to express myself are surely there, but I hope you enjoyed this video, I'm just being a little extra. You know just having fun with this, but I didn't like my braids they're, not lasting that long them, because I like to see my own hair, but I do like the grades while I'm having them. But let me know some other things that you can think of about when you had your braids. So if you got them right now like what was the thing like girl, I know awesome. Let me know, let me up. You haven't already click that but time girl. Yes, are you clicking that great gon na go ahead and let that black girl hug me all night, okay, y'all up also to our you, follow me on instagram, I love Lisa men's stuff, so I'm going ahead of follow me on instagram at Nate sue curly, but I will be enjoyed this video. As always. I thank you for watch it and I'll talk, see you later hey. You know I can't in a video without doing a shots of my beautiful people. Naturally LJ joy, King and tow by Jade
Comments
Nolakiss: The takedown!
Joy Deja King: I got braids professionally done a couple years ago and it was horrible. They were too long, too tight and it took forever for her to finish. I learned how to do them myself and I now I love them!!
Chloé-Ana Braidy: This is the funniest video I’ve watched in a long time. EVERYTHING in this video is accurate.
Brooklyn Headrick: Once I worked at this child care facility in a city that has a higher population of African American kids than Caucasian kids and when I would play with the little girls they always asked to braid my hair, and I said yes. I didn’t realize they were doing the really tight braids, and I’ve never got them done before. It hurt so bad I started crying I don’t know how girls who get tight braids are so strong! They look super pretty, though!
Shelby Perez: She said ain't no sleep and I really felt that
Drea 48: That feeling yourself is real. I just got my braids done today and when I came home I was in the mirror like" I'm really feeling myself" like I'm feeling my blackness." Lol. I love it!
Aravian Louis: Girllllll, we don't have time to soak this braiding hair. 9 times out of 10 if the appointment's planned late, hair's bought an hour in advance before!
Molly Grace: I’m sorry you’re suffering, but I swear that’s the prettiest braid design I’ve ever seen. Like there are a lot of gorgeous, intricate, artful designs, but in terms of just simple feminine prettiness, this is it. Love it. And I love how there are different sizes (but not like when a bad braider doesn’t know how to keep them uniform). Good job to your stylist.
nastasha nastasha: Your makeup is so pretty it compliments your skin tone
Emma Vrijburg: When I had boxbraids, I used to hit all my friends and everyone who came close to me accidentally
Leela Jr: I feel u with the toilet issue one time I was in a salon toilet just done my hair so I leaned my hair back I flushed the toilet and my braids just wanted an adventure through the drain
Ritah Ndlovu: Neck pain because of the heaviness, box braids don't play
Nia888: The heaviness of braids depends on the braid. The first time I got box braids , I use some brand I bought from Amazon. This second time I got ez hair by spectre. And these braids are super light. It feels like the weight of my own hair.
Michel Celestine: Girl! You are a freaking TRIP! You had me dying laughing SEVERAL times throughout the video!
Alanna1930: This was great! I normally get box braids and I've used all kinds of hair. I think that the weight of the braids is dependent on the hair used. I use Xpressions and that isn't heavy (it may not be heavy to me cuz I have a big head and my neck is probably used to it now) but one day I wanted a specific colour that they didn't have so I ordered it from China and it said it was 80 grams a pack. It looked a lot smaller from what I normally used and came in 10 packs an order total so I got two just in case. I ended up using 18 packs out of the 20 in total (this equates to about 5ish packs of regular braiding hair) and those braids were wayyyyyyyyyy too heavy on my head. Not all braiding hair shows the weight of the hair on the pack but I would suggest to check the weight before getting braids in again. They look AMAZING on you! :)
Candace Tate: Getting the braid hair stuck in my jewelry and being tangled in my earrings. Getting hit in the eye. Not being able to put a shirt on because my hair was so big.
Cristina Aparicio Linale: Im latina and have gotten braids a few times already and I thought the itch, the no sleep, the weight were all because my hair is a different texture, bit now I c its for everyone. I always saw black people with looong ass braids and was like whoa these girls are amazing! I looove black hairstyles and appreciate them but they do hurt.
Josie Jenkins: I just got some box braids and you’re so right no sleep last night. I did however apply moist heat, leave in conditioner and gently massaged my scalp and it helped a great deal ...
Afroniquelybeautiful c: My favorite ones: "Aint no sleep" "I shouldn't have to take no Aleve"
RenyaLune: Yes definitely feeling this video, I just got mine done 2 days ago and do not remember how bad these braids hurt. My scalp is virginized been like 10 years since I had braids in my hair Im honestly about to take them out, I keep thinking about losing my sides. The weight is annoying and yes its interfering with sleep lol and I needs all dat lol beautiful style but comes with a price metaphorically and financially lol I think I'm over the braids unless its my own hair sheesh I had enough lol❤️
NicNac's Dream: I don't have braids or anything but I can totally feel you on some of the issues you had. I have waist length hair so the toilet thing is a big issue. Also I can get to sleep easy but sometimes I do wake up in the middle of the night with my hair wrapped around my throat. I kinda get the feeling that my hair might be plotting against me lol. Despite it all I wouldn't cut it. I love my hair just like I love your braids. They're so beautiful. I would definitely put up with all that for that kind beautiful hair style.
Yanny R: Thank you for this. Ive been thinking on braids to leave my hair alone, but the process is a struggle. Love your eyeshadow!
tyrone jackson: To prevent the itchiness, it sometimes works to put a little bit of over-the-counter hydrocortisone 0.5% on the scalp in between the braids right after getting them done
Goodies with Grace: This is truly helpful and hilarious! I’m considering getting braids this summer but now I’m hesitant. Thanks for sharing
KAROON BOOMIE: Listen to your sister, she knows what she’s talking about!!! We Salute You!!!!! Love this Chica, she’s real, honest, and I highly respect her argument!!!!!
Robin M.: OMG! You are high-larious, Girl! Love it! You look cute! I’m getting some braids in a few weeks. I’m excited mostly because I won’t have to deal with my hair for a few weeks. Which is the best part about braids. I want to start doing them myself though. Save the coin, save my world!!
Aaliyah Harris: Lol I so love your personality!!! I’m watching this after my first attempt at braids this summer. I didn’t last long (3 weeks). I’m hardheaded and wanna give my natural hair a break, so I’m doing it again this weekend
DailyLinds: I am going through it right now, night 3 and I have turned my tears to laughter with this video. This braid thing is gonna have to be a once in a lifetime experience is how I am feeling
JUMALATION1: I had braids for like a month, and I'm DEFINITELY getting them again although I have to go through all this trouble :D Love your vids btw <3
Christina Mason: I'm hollerin ' b/c this is so true!!..Its like, I'm in pain, can't sleep, head itching Buuuut I'm cute tho and you can't tell me NOTHING!!
Social trends 2022: I can relate to the sleep deprivation, the tightness and pain. It's so annoying, I hated it so much. I had to get a haircut. It's so exhausting. I'm planning to learn to do my hair myself.
Trinity_ NubianQueen: Whole video got me hollerin, the suffering we go through for added beauty n protective styles. It ain't for the weak. Oh and thank you for the PROPER shout outs you do, unlike others (showing it for 1sec. *sipping my tea* )
cxlouisy _: I'm always so amazed at how pretty braids look like ❤❤❤
E Dunlap: Hilarious! I am thinking of getting box braids soon to avoid doing my hair for a few months. Very helpful. Thanks so much!
Basil: "Me and sleep are like best friends." Lol. Girl, I hear ya on this one. Getting an adequate amount of sleep can make the difference of having a bad day or a good day.
Gabriella Boakye: Girl!!! I wish I knew these things when I was a child but it’s too late I carry the burden every few months for the vibes I get.
Tisha Harry: Lol you too funny!!! I always use braids as a protective style...I'm doing them this Saturday actually. Only thing I don't like is the take down. My girl doesn't pull too tight so my edges are fine and she doesn't use a lot of hair so it's not heavy. I put my hair up in a bun every night to sleep and when I am home....so they aren't in my way and I don't feel hot
Sydniieaustralïa: Thanks to whoever thought of knotless box braids! Saved so much tension
Court Holden: I just got braids yesterday and this video is so relatable! And hilarious!
Mickey Mouse: The struggle is real! I just got some Cornrows Fulani braids a week ago. My scalp felt like it was on Fire for a couple of days I had to spray water on it. Now a week later, they itch I have to keep oiling my scalp. So yes, I know how you feel...By the way, I like your Fulani braids!
Savannah M: I just got box braids for the first time and omg I feel you the itch is on a whole other level!
Lovingbeauty247: as a true braid wearer since I was 10 years old you were so on point with this.
Mel W: Lord yes!! I had my hair braided up into a bun and girlllllll went to my sons graduation and I couldn't even enjoy his graduation because my freaking scalp was in so much pain!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!
AnvilAnalysis: the feeling is mutual I got a similar style right now It's a week old been going through it! Sleep is good right now but itching came next and herbal oil has been my best friend ever since.
Cristina Aparicio Linale: Girl, you are funny and i loved this video, you got yourself a new subscriber, you have an amazing personality!
Sonja76: I laughed so hard I cried when you described sleeping with fresh braids... Just got my braids redone yesterday and sleeping wasn't really pleasant last night, LOL - as far as the itching goes, there's spray for that, I really love Salon Pro braid sheen shine spray with argan oil.
Kenny Olapade: You're so right. I used to get them all the time but the headache you endure and how heavy they feel. I love the change up though
Shay45: I’ve been getting braids my whole life and I have never soaked them lol and I never get itchy. I usually use kanekalon hair
Lizz Gullickson: You’re hilarious thanks for the tips, girl!
Debbie Yee: I truly enjoyed this! Thank you! So my question here is, is there a sleeping trick for the rest of the time? I can feel them digging into the scalp and it’s painful. And I only have 5 dreads
Debbie Lockley: First off you are hilarious lol. I haven't had braids since h.s. so I felt like a newbie getting them. I've had dreadlocks for the past few years so I'm used to the braids being heavy. But girl... the itching... no one told me about that. I was caught off guard lol. I didn't even know how tender headed I was until I got box braids lol. So I understand lol
Zyair Ayanna: I completely agree! I just got box braids for the first time and it has been a struggle already. Like I miss being able to put my hair in a bun to go to sleep comfortably on my side. I miss feeling lightweight hair! I called my mom and I said "look here, Imma keep these in for another week and a half, get a good two weeks worth, and these boys gotta go, I'll make up the money I lost getting them installed" because they're cute but I'm struggling, the extensions are to my butt, and I miss my hair!
Mew Twaila: "No. It's too late. They already in my head" I love her omg
Cowana Melvin: This was hilarious !! The braids are cute, but I can't do them for just about all of those reasons. My main one is the tightness
Inicole: Omggg! I love YOUR energy! I recently got box braids for the first time, and gurlll! everything in this video is so true! but they cute!
Cravenn2: Thank you for doing this video❣️ I’ve always wanted to have them... I guess I’ll continue the love on my own mane❣️
Antonia Howell: I'm glad I came across your video. It lead me to learn how to clean the braiding hair first. I was going to put braids in today, but I can wait a few more days.
Maryland Girl: Girl, you are hilarious, and everything in this video is too true.
Dawn Patterson: HAHAHAHA LOL!!! Everything she said is true! I started wearing crochet twists and then to box braids sometimes they are hassle but better than relaxing my hair!
Taryn Harmon: Giiirllll same af. This is exactly why I admire braids from a distance. I'm too damn indecisive anyways & im already knowing how mad my scalp would be! She act a fool now, I couldn't image adding itchy hair and tight braids to the mix lol I love you tho girl were besties in my head
IamVee: Lmaol.. girl it took me about 5 long hours (upper back length) & 2 ppl to het mines done.. ur sooo on point. I cut mines down today, couldn’t take it no more ☺️
Julia Arian: LMFAO!!! OMG girl you are hilarious! and I felt the SAME exact way!! what a struggle!!!
Ebi Atawodi: I needed to hear this feel like I’m doing a permanent resistance workout with this weight.
Genevieve Marie Law: So true and hilarious, Thank you! you made my day! lol
Heleen Mendez: LOL She said, "I was not purpurred"
Alexandra Roman: This video is funny!! I'm considering doing braids for the first time, thank you for this.
Shy-shy Janell: I love the way she explains the struggles❤️
Claudia Castrillon: Question for the community, how much does it take to get dry when washed???? I haven't done this before but I'm looking for it
Elesha Albert: You're freaking hilarious and it's all true what you said! Aleve is a must the first few days for sure lol
Afrodisiac: I am in LOVE with this video lol I have box braids right now and WHEW CHILE you are so funny Subscribed!! ‼️
lovelivejoy: You're so funny. I got braids now and I understand everything you went through.
Mrs.Lovins: Just got my hair braided and girl when you said you can’t sleep I couldn’t relate to you more
Trishani Weller: I relate to all of these lol. But for the itching, rice water works, well it works for me. It calms it down
Dani: Just got braids in today and I'm feeling every single thing you said girl. What about when they get wet, and it takes two centuries and six turbo jets worth of hot air before they dry again, damn! They're cute and all but I'm thinking two weeks max is all I can take with these.
Shar Shar: I haven't had braids like this since I was pre teen. I'm now in my 30s. My braided hair is long af down to my waist- which is longer than I asked. But yes I am feeling myself lol I just wish I would have been warned they r always I'm the way! And trying on clothes or putting on a shirt while trying to maneuver this stuff is crazy! I plan on making them shorter after a couple of weeks though.
jaytay718: This video was hilarious I loved it! And I don't do braids due to the itch factor and I'm hella tender headed. My mom used to braid my hair when I was little, then take the braid down and rebraid it cuz she ain't like it Girl! Ready to cry,lol Love your hair though it is so cute
Cynthia N: I Love this video so much. Everything you said was true.
Ariah Lea: Day 26!! ❤️ I can relate love. You're hilarious. Take care beautiful

Tameeka: I had neck pain for a week when I just got my braids done, couldn’t get comfortable and sleep. I pinned my hair up and it helped a bit but still. My satin bonnet at the moment is the only thing now making it bearable for me to sleep
djlovedeluxe: I stumbled upon your video and SUBSCRIBED! GURL!! Went from a faded natural to a head full of crochet passion twists. You had me hollerin...My neck do hurt..One side is shaved really close.
Victoria Hunter: They don't tell you that your hair line can vanish without a trace. Stephen King could write a book about how your hair line can vanish like a ghost never to return.
Nicole Fisher: I love my braider. My braids aren’t tight at all and it’s not itchy whatsoever. I used Bobbi boss braiding hair and did not soak the hair. Everything else girl yessss!!! Especially feeling myself lmaoooo
Nujood Mubarak: Tip: if ur braids are too tight and making ur scale itchy just take a warm shower and wash ur hair they will loosen up
Chels Wels: DEAD!!! I have some medium size box braids right now and I get you. DWL. I literally cried for a little the first night and had a challenge sleeping the whole night !!
Prophetess Lady Of Wisdom: Girl, I love your braids. Ha, ha you're crazy. Oh, I had box braids years ago, girl I got out the car and slammed half of the braids in the door. I screamed so loud, lawd. Lol.
Kristy Sparks: Gurrrrllll I am going thru it tooooo!!! I had a procedure done on my right arm, so first time getting braids done….and I know EXACTLY what u r talking about!!! But u lookin good and I am feelin myself too!! Just sayin!! Lol
Proveska A: No one told me anything about getting braids and this is EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO ME❤ I love my braids tho
Gracie Tarr: XD I am having ALLLLL of these problems!!! I've got a head full of the tiny box braids too. The Itching is intense! I'm having to carry a spray bottle with chamomile and lavender oil with me to spritz and rub into my scalp every few hours, coz it's BAD!
K C: braids hanging out when you're trying to wipe omg . This is very accurate, I'm rethinking the braids rn.
MADPunkyHeartLESS: This was so funny and so true. Especially the part about the edges, hahaha.
Just Safi: I agree I have braids right now too (giving my wash and go a break) and what gets me is how quickly your scalp gets dry and itchy. I have to moisturize everyday just about before bed.
LaurenLocd: I got my hair braided like a month ago let’s just say I’m never going to get professionally done again they weren’t as tight like I could sleep and I didn’t have a headache but let’s just say I saw way too many white bulbs at the end of hairs popping out I still have them in and they are old as hell but I’m pretty sure I don’t have any edges anymore I even told the woman at first she was braiding too tight she laughed and said something in her language I should have got up then smh
Jasmine: Lmao you a mess, but I feel your pain. Great video Nae ❤️
LizaB805: Oh my gooodness! You had me laughing the whole ways doll face! I’m a newbie on your channel! I’m hooked! Love the braids on you btw!
Hazelnoot: this is my first time having braids ever, and I'm already relating to most of this even though I've had the braids in less than a week
