    I know everyone learns differently, some visual, some audio, but what helped me was to practice on a mannequin or on my friends/ my partner. I even used thread once, anything that is pliable enough for you to use to practice a basic 3 strand braid, will work. Once you can easily make a simple plait, you’ll be unstoppable when you move to more intricate styles/techniques. You’ll get there, you just have to have patience with yourself throughout the process. Hope this helps! ✌🏼 😊

  • @ehi6269

    @ehi6269

    2 жыл бұрын

    After detangling a section of hair, put it in a twist. That way it stayed stretched. When you want to braid or style your hair, all you have to do is loosen the twist and fluff it out with your fingers and you are good to go. If you hair is short and won't stay in a chunky twist more than a minute, I advise you get small hair clips. Dt way you twist it out and secure the ends with a clip of Bobby pin.
