Any tips for doing this with curly hair that doesn't really separate into strands without yanking it with both hands and all the thoughts and prayers in the world? That's the issue I run into, I need both hands to separate new strands and lose track of the old ones.

My daughter French braided her own hair last night so I was inspired to try once again and then I found your video. Thank you for giving me a new style to do finally!

I am 24 years old and have never in my life successfully French braided my hair. I have looked up tutorials before but I could never wrap my brain around how to hold the sections and keep them organized. Today I found this video and on my first attempt after watching it I have successfully French braided my hair!!! I'm absolutely thrilled! I was not in the slightest offended to be given the exact same instructions over and over and over because that is exactly what I needed. She explains and shows everything very helpfully. Thank you!
Thank you! After almost 40 years, I can finally do a french braid on myself! ❤
I've always struggled with which fingers hold what and what to do with the extra piece of hair grabbed on each side and YOU explained it so well! I've watched so many videos that didn't and I could just not understand. Thank you! I'm gonna practice today 😁😁😁

At 25 seconds in I'm already failing haha! I may just not have enough dexterity to keep hold of the three separate strands. Will keep practicing!
Heck i can almost do it but then my arms get strained so bad!!! Lol 🤣🤣🤣 And I finally did it!!! But a few strands were ridiculously left 😆 Thank you very much to this video! I've always tried to do this years ago but I wasn't able to understand how it's done until I've watched this video

This video should be the first video when searching KZread. You jumped right into the tutorial without all the "life story, please subscribe" crap that takes up the first 10 minutes of all the other how to videos out there. I respect that. Great video! Thanks!
Thank you! Took 35 years for me to learn this. This video showed me how!
Omg! I love your video! Thank you so much I never thought I'd be able to and thanks to your video... I can!❤❤❤❤
Oh my God!! I DID IT! I DID IT!!! I've never been able to do it, and always mess up the stands during the transition from one hand to the other but I did as you explained and I think I did a good enough job! Tysm!!!♥️
Off al videos I’ve watched this is the only one that was successful!! Ugh thank you
I’m 57 years old and this is the first time I have French braided my hair on my own and it worked!!!!
This video was the stupid easiest thing ever to follow. I've tried to learn SO MANY TIMES to learn before and always ended up in pain and exhausted. This literally took me zero time to learn!! My first attempt was shoddy bc I was literally following along as I went. I took it out and redid it amd it looks AMAZING!!!!! How tf????!! Seriously can't thank you enough - I'm 38 and you just changed my life 😅😂🎉❤

So I've tried to do this for years. This was the easiest tutorial I have ever used for hair. Thank you, thank you!!! I was laughing when it said 5 mins. Told my husband that I'll somehow make it 45 mins...but this actually worked. I really surprised myself with how easy and fast I did it. Thanks again!!!
