I really suck at it. I can do normal braids and fishtail braids, that's it. But I never understood how to do French braids or braids that are woven onto the head (dunno what it is called in English, but pic related is what I mean, not just French braid, but the general style).

I can't braid at all, I had short hair for a lot of years and before that I was baby and my mum braided it for me (I was smth like 7 or 8)

I can maybe manage a regular braid and that also looks awkward as fuck because I had a sidecut a while back and that part of my hair is like 10cm shorter

Do black people do braids? I always thought cornrows weren't braids. By braiding I always meant stuff like French braid, crown braid, Dutch braid etc.

>> No.8761661

>>8761644
yeah they're tiny braids!

>>8761640
also I wish I knew how to do them for personal purposes, but having to do them everyday for a job sounds like torture. hang in there anon!

I haven't been able to braid people's hair since >>8757844 happened

>> No.8761676

Yes, would consider myself pretty good at it since I like braiding my hair, especially with french or a dutch braid.

Once you get the hang of it, it's a fast way to make it look like you put a lot of effort into your hair.

>> No.8761685

Dumb question, but how do you tie the end of a braid? Like I can actually braid my hair, but when its time to tie it with a hairtie I can never get it stay.

Same. I've been trying to learn more lately so I can do more varied classic-suited hairstyles, but trying to do French or Dutch braids on yourself is quite difficult and my arms always get tired about halfway through, and it ends up pretty messy... I hope to improve little by little, though.

I like to braid hair and I think I'm alright at it, but I don't like braiding my own hair. It's thin and I don't have a lot of it, so even though the braids look neat, it never looks as nice as someone who had more hair or thicker hair.

I had a friend with long thick hair back in college who loved having other people play with her hair so I'd style hers all the time, but we ended up drifting apart.

I'm so fucking shit at it. I have short hair now but before this my hair used to be quite long - well over 24 inches. I used to try to practice cool braids but my arms would get really tired before I could even finish or it would look really bad. I tried to figure out french braiding and that didn't work, and I tried to do a fish tail braid and that didn't work either. Sadness. My hair was/is quite thick too, so there was a lot to work with.

Perhaps I'll try again on a wig or something.
