I could never install this many braids. I commend you 😮💨. BUT THE REDUCTION IN TANGLING compared to twists, is so worth it
Yesss hey friend!!✨
I bought a flaxseed +vit e gel, Can It be used as a leave in?
Hi I wouldn’t recommend leaving in flax gel because the hold is super hard! You can try it but you should have the flax to oil ratio very small (meaning the flax gel should be very little quantity) I prefer aloe gel as a leave in
Do you work from home?
hi yes I do
Why do you braid your mini braids ?
✨Stretches them and provides ‘wavy look’ when taken out in the morning
Your hair is gorgeous Tia!
Thank you love ❤️
How exactly do you consume the olive oil
Sprinkle on salads, put a tbsp in your smoothie.. etc💕
Beautiful and healthy ❤❤❤
Thank you Sapphire! Same for your lovely hair 💕
Mini braids?..
Yes 💕
Cute! Is there a pro of braids over twists
Thank you 💕💕Less/no matting
Your hair looks so healthy good job❤❤
Thanks Trinity💕💕
I meant to say mini braids - not twists ❤
Can you do a close up so I can see how big the sections are
Ok I’ll do that - I just posted a shorts video you can see close up there

Which is better for growth mini braids like in this video or the ones like in the previous video
They both are good but I’m seeing I prefer mini braids since I don’t have to rebraid them every 2 weeks. I can now go 1 month. This way I’m not manipulating them except 1x a month and it’s easier to style💕 up to your preference though love ❤️
Hello Tia, does the amount of braids you do change ? How do you decide how many to do and how many you rougly have in this video? What do you do for like a wedding ? Do you take it out for special occasions during the month? Thank you so much for all the sharing you do.❤
I have 59-60 in this video. I just switched to mini braids because I want a smoother style look. For weddings you can do so many styles. Now that my braids are smaller I can make the hair wavy or curl the ends (heatless) wear cute waves in the front, style in with a hair claw etc so many more options 💕
Thank you!!
Do you have a diy video of this shampoo sister ? 🥺💕
I’ll make one- it’s just aloe gel - sometimes I mix it w decyl glycoside
I want to do this style. I'm doing everything possible to retain length but my hair keeps breaking. I'm actually almost depressed bc of it. I work in corporate America and my hair is only shouldler length and shrinks like crazy and looks old after a week so I can't wear this style. Do you have an alternative style you would suggest? I dont want to add extensions but I think I may have to.
Please don’t be depressed - let me think on this and get back to you this week
I use flexi rods and a bit of gel and oil on my ends after washing to keep them from getting those stubborn knots.
@@BlushingRoseDiaries nice!
I do braids instead of twists too! Tried mini twists and the take down with finger detangling was a nightmare because of the matting. Will never wear mini twist again.
Same issue! Braids are a gem!
During my 90-day hair growth journey, I did yoga and exercises, massaged my scalp using oil three times a week, shampooed once a week, and applied llitllextra reactivate hair growth serum. The outcome, my hair growth increased without any breakage.
Excellent 💕
Do you wear your mini braids down or do you typically keep your ends off your back?
Ponytails, low buns and braided styles 💕
How many braids do you wear
26 at the time- but more recently I’m doing mini braids and I have 59-60 in💕
@@tialynn1111 which do you think is better for hair growh
How many braids do you wear
@@lanechim1203 used to be 26 now I’m doing mini braids monthly and I have 59-60 of them in
do you mind showing the whole style and up front? this looks like a style I can wear. I'm currently doing 9 mini braids pulled back
Hi Brandii !! I’m working on a long form video soon! I’ll show you everything!! Stay tuned plse
I started doing mini braids after finding your channel. I have fine strands so mini twist always matted up my hair and detangling took so long bc I had to ge gentle with all the matting to prevent breakage
Yesss twists are beautiful but I’ve found my hair gets matted with them too easily. I’ve found the perfect balance with mini braids and then twisting an inch from the bottom
Yes, they are the best. Plus they are easy and fun to style. Truly thee best protective style❤
It’s so nice! I’m loving the freedom and styles
Tia is coming for you hip length. I hope you’re ready!
hehe yes! Thank you! How are you doing ChiChi💕
@tialyn1111 I’m good girly. I hope that you’re doing the same.
What’s a great protective style that can help you with thin edges? As well as help your hair grow? I have trichotillomania and I tend to pull my hair out when I’m anxious (usually around my front and back edges. As well as the middle part at the top of my head). It’s not really bad or too visible but I want to learn how to care for my hair from now so I won’t struggle in my future. Thanks for reading and thanks for your help.❤
Sure sorry you are going through that, I’m not a doctor but I wonder if you can divert the attention to something harmless such as scalp massage vs hair pulling? I’m not sure how it works though and I wish you better health with it. A great hairstyle for thinning edges would be any style such as braids or twists but wearing them in loose buns or a style where your hair isn’t pulled or weighted down. Let me do more research on it and get back to you 💕
@@tialynn1111 Thank you so much for your reply. Don’t worry about it. That’s a good idea. I really appreciate you for responding to me.💐
I have this same issue but I pull it out the middle if my hair is out.
Omg, I am growing my hair, I can not wait to get to that length.
Yess it will! I’m giving myself 1 year to reach my goal! You can def retain and grow. 6 in within a year with gentleness, consistency and a great moisture routine. Stay tuned for my full video on my mini braids 💕
You inspired me to finger detangle 🔥 HUGE game changer
Thank you!! It’s so much of a game changer!! You have complete control and no breakage!💕
Love this🔥 rocking them now! Game changer! You have been inspo for sure🙏🏾❤️
They’re so good for retaining length!!! Thank you💕
Question why were you cutting your hair
I like a nice clean look without any stray pieces sticking out 💕
Okay, let’s try the mini braids for 3 months to see if I can maintain
No I think 3 months is too long 1.5-2 months max is good but make sure you fully moisturize and detangle them before installing. Moisturize every 3 days 💕
3 months may be too long, shed hair may accumulate too much at the roots. I recommend 2 months max as she said in the video, especially if you're starting out. I speak from experience, 'cause I leave my minibraidd for two months at a time, and I've been doing this since last October.
Nice how do you hydrate them 💕
Are u getting /seeing good retention? I’m sure you are
@@tialynn1111 I mean a 3- month trial, using your guidelines for hydration, washes & redoing to see what my results look like
Hey Tia! I found another soap producing plant. Its called Ackee ...when the fruit is still unripe, is when the saponins are present.
Hey!! Ok let me research that! I heard of ackee in Jamaican dishes 💕
@@tialynn1111 yes its the same fruit but used as soap when its not ripe
@@elicore.biz81 cool thanks for the info 💕
How can you keep the ends from catching on each other and tangling?
Coat the ends with thick aloe or flax gel - this prevents that
Then let it dry - (the aloe gel) then apply little avo oil 😊
@@tialynn1111 can you use aloe juice instead or use it in place of water in flaxseed gel?
It was hard for me to read that 😂 but yes I'm currently wearing my mini braids now. But i may switch to twist soon, I like the volume twists give ❤
lol so sorry love I’ll slow it down next time 💕 Yes twists def give more volume 😍, but please keep an eye ands make sure it doesn’t mat because I’ve learned twists mat more easily 😩
I took mines out last month but I'm gonna see if I can put em back in soon ❤❤
Yesss so much healthy length retention 💕
Such beautiful hair 😍
Thank you love ❤️
Text moving so fast 💨 I’ll be sure to slow it down next time. Have you all tried mini twists or braids for growth? ❤
Yeah i've been using braids to retain so much length also to grow my hair.My hair has changed a lot. But the only problem I have is when I wash my hair the root tangles a lot. Any tips?
I do a version of it with twists, I’ll try it with braids for the summer to see if there’s a difference
Thanks for sharing your routine and advice. One question on how often you recommend shampooing. Near the 5 min mark you say you wash every 1-2 weeks but near the end you say twice a week. Years ago my hair did grow when I left it in braids/twists and washed every 2 weeks but now all the natural hair gurus say was 1-2x per week. Just wondering which approach you follow. Thanks and in addition to an amazing head of hair, your nails are out of this world! 😊
Yess I mention in the comments I meant to say twice a month💕 I would do what’s best for you, when your hair is in braids, you can wash them in braids 1x a week and your hair will not get tangled as twists do. But the key is to make sure make sure that your shampoo is Diluted!! Over washing can strip the hair. So make sure it is diluted orrrr just wash with fresh aloe gel!!! Thank you!!💕
So you changes your routine? Can we have an update video on your new regimen/routine?❤❤❤
Yes I’ll make a long form video soon - regimen is still extremely simple and low maintenance. ❤
@@tialynn1111thanks😊
I have to blow dry my hair. I have PTSD concerning the musty smell of 2nd day wet hair. As a young girl, I would wash my hair and throw it in a ponytail and it would be stank. Back then I couldn't figure out why. But now, I do wash my hair braided up, but it's a must for me to blow dry to at least 75% dry. I am at lumbar length since shaving in 2019.
@@mariellinda8624 wow you retained a lot of length!! Sounds like you have a great regimen! Keep it up ✨
I’m going to help you reach your hair goals too love!! Watch me wear this style all year and see how much length I retain ❤
❤❤❤I love this
Wise words indeed..🙏💯💕
Ty!! ❤
Your mini braids are beautiful. You’ll hit hip length all around in no time with your good practices.
Thanks love ❤
Consistency , being very gentle and extended protective styles will have your hair thriving ❤
And remember scalp massages are very crucial 😊❤
And scalp massages are very crucial😊❤
@@LesediKilifelethey are and they are so relaxing ❤
Is there a reason you do braids instead of twists? I always thought twists were better to take out
Way less tangles/matting 💕
@@tialynn1111 makes sense. Thanks
Hi. Do you ever put this on your hair or the ends? Thanks
@@thepoweroftheoilofjoy yess all the time!!!! I just installed mini braids/twisted at the ends I’ll show you on my next video
How does this work? Do you walk around smelling like onions all day? For those who have done this about how long did it take for you to notice growth?
No. You leave it in while you’re at home for 30min then rinse w diluted ACV and then follow up w your shampoo You have to be consistent-usually a few months. Please conduct a patch test on wrist before trying to make sure you’re not allergic
Can I ask whats your reason for every 2 weeks? Its interesting
Biweekly fits better w my schedule and my hair is thriving w the routine - what’s your regimen schedule?
