Hello'S, it's Angelica and welcome back to the Box brain series. I am doing a six-part series, I think might be less might be more, and this is just going to be all my different tips and tricks on how I do stuff with my box. Braids very needed information that I wish I knew before I started doing box for its long time ago. So today I'm going to show you guys how I sleep with these very long box braids. So every single time. I think I've only seen two videos ever they might be more messiness, but I've never seen a video on how I actually sleep with my buck screeching, I'm just going to give you guys a warning: it's not cute! Okay, it does not look cute at all. So if you have a boyfriend and you're trying to look out kits for your man, this is not going to be it. I'M just going to tell you now, I'm going to show you two ways: the most regular way, which I don't do, but I'm going to show you guys this in case you guys want to sleep with your braids like then I'm going to show you the way That I actually use my box braids in very unconventional but extremely comfortable. I never feel more comfortable secure with my box reflected so without further ado. Let me sit closer to you guys, so you guys can actually see what I'm doing with your hair. Okay. So now I'm going to show you the most common way that people sleep with their box braids. I definitely don't sleep with mine like this, like I said at the beginning, but if you guys would like to I'm going to show you, so all you need is a silk or satin scarf. This is mine, looks a little grandmother Reed, but I don't care keeps my hair, looking all nice. So what you're going to do is just put your hair in the most comfortable position, which is, however, it was like braided when it's aligned or whatever. If you'd like you can get like a ribbon to tie around the hair like that or you can even just get two pieces of hair from the back like that and then tie them and then when the hair is sort of tied, you get your scarf put. It over tie underneath that you can even tie it on top again if you'd like or your scarf is long enough. So for me this is not comfortable enough. I don't like the hair being on my back and me being able to feel it on my back when I'm sleeping and I'm rolling over it and that's the number one most irritating thing. I think if the hair was much shorter, like maybe shoulder length. This is what I do, but since the braids are so long, I still don't feel comfortable enough, and now I'm going to show you how string and ugly what I do look. So it's kind of similar. What I would relate this to is wrapping your hair. Like you know, when you flat iron, your hair and you wrap it when you go to sleep, I'm not showing people wrapped box, braids and bobby pins, but I feel like that would be so hard to do and for it to stay in place because they're so Sick, so what I would do is this leaper here, where there's like a line or whatever in the direction where it was braided, then I would get all the hair to the back and then let me try and transfer. You can see that this piece was like this and cross them over on the back and I sort of twist just a little bit to make sure that no hair gets glued, and after I do that, I bring it to the front like this. This is where you could bobby pin if you want. I don't have any energy for that. So I take a little small ribbon like that. I tie the hair here looks like some sort of a turban or something I don't care. Then you can leave it out or you can fold it. I like to leave it folded, click the edges to the back, and now it's made some sort of like braids turban, and you can see what it looks like like that. Then I take my ugly-ass bonnet. I definitely need a new one and I put it on and now my hair is even on all sides. I sleep on this side. It'S just like extra pillow. The hair doesn't move, no friction so guys nothing comes down. It'S still soft. It'S not hard to any kind where you can't sleep and that's what I do. That'S my number one to put.
