How to Braid Your Own Hair - Simple Tutorial for Beginners | NINA GREY

I'm a HUGE fan of Braids, it's one of my favorite hairstyles. You won't see me very often with my hair open, it's usually tied up in a bun, in a pony tail - or braided. I simply don't like having my hair in my face or flying around.
No matter if I'm working out in the gym, doing yoga, even while snowboarding lol, meeting with friends, working or traveling (especially when traveling), my hair is in Braids.
And if you ever plan to go to my home country Germany to check out Oktoberfest in Munich or Wasen (also a traditional festival happening twice a year in my home city Stuttgart), Braids are a definitive must-have!
Being able to do one's own hairstyle is not just loads of fun, I find it great to not be dependent on a hairstylist for a look such as braids that looks much more elaborate and complex than it is.
My favorite Braid is the Dutch Braid, but before showing you guys this version, let's get back to basics. This tutorial is for beginners, who don't know how to do a Basic Braid. After watching this video, practice often and you'll be a master in no time!

Hey there, I'm glad you started doing things by yourself and are trying to be less dependent on your mum. Regarding her being abusive: this sounds very serious and I hope you're OK at the moment. Do you have anyone you can talk to about this? Do you have access to people who can help you? Please take good care of yourself!

@@ninagrey Hiiiii!!!!! Its so nice to see that your talking with us even though having a lot of other stuff to do. I'm really glad about your concern. But it's nothing too serious. As I know she will never harm to a massive degree. We have been having really tough family issues. And well my mom has been having those ever since I was born. She's very depressed and her depression is only growing and growing. So she vents it all in me with saying very hurtful words no one should. She verbally hurts me in all aspects. But it's nothing physical. Amd I know there are people living in a way worse situation than me. But I appreciate your words so much. Thank you for this incredible video and showing kindness and concern. Ly. Best of luck to your life and everything. Have a nice day💖

@@almashreya_5715 I'm in awe of how reflected you are and how kind, understanding and generous towards people despite them hurting you (in this case your mum). I hope you surround yourself with other kind people who can help and support you though when you need it. We all can only take so much and sometimes things are just hard. Families are complex. It's great to see how well you navigate difficult situations like these. It took me so long to get to that point and I still struggle sometimes (and I'm in my mid 30s). However, in my situation it's not my mum who's been hard to deal with. I wish you all the best, much love and courage for your future! Have a lovely day 💕

Hmm yeah I get what you're saying. Does your hair have a bit of grip? It helps a lot if it's not too slippery (like freshly washed hair for example). You could try and add a little bit of product to add more texture.
Since years I wasn't able to properly braid hair after watching your video ,I tried it came nicely thanks a ton 😇☺

Your hair looks very thick😍
😭😭😭thank you so much.... i struggled lot to braid my hair... initially i let my hair free because I don’t know to braid my hair. My hair started falling 😥 thank god i came across this video. It’s really helpful 😇😇😇
Thank you!! I finally made a braid by myself although I is a bit lose. Thank you so much.😊
You saved my remaining hair.. I have long hair but they get so easily tangled that the density of hair is now too less due to breakage during detangling them as i did not knw how to do a braid.. Thank you for teaching in such an easy way.. 🙏

I think you must be crossing towards the front but you have to cross it towards the back. That's the mistake I was doing after bringing it to the front. Meaning after bringing the hair forward you have to do a reverse braid
