Do I have the "braid" approval? LOL

[yellowchariot]

To all of you who can braid,

I seek your approval and opinions on a french braid that I can finally do on my own hair, without someone else braiding it for me. :D haha. My female friends would usually offer to braid it for me, if I had have it secured. However, after a couple of months of reading some of the LHC members' tutorals and watching some of your YouTube videos. I think that I've finally got it right. I'm open for any suggestions as well, peace out! :)

[Heavenly Locks]

It looks perfect. MUCH better than mine! :) :flower: Congrats!

[getoffmyskittle]

It looks quite good! You have a lot of patience, to do all those tiny sections. I usually just do 4 or 5 and call it quits. :lol:

[Gingevere]

Well, I'm not in much of a position to be judging other people's braids, but I'm gonna go ahead and give you a 10! I'm in the same boat as Heavenly Locks, lol.

[RoseRedDead]

That french braid is perfect. Way to go! Man I need more practice, lol.

[lora410]

WOW, I wish I could braid this well.It looks amazingly perfect. I am so clumsy with my hands and my hair just tangles up when I try. I can manage a regular and fishtail and that is about it.

[friskybiznus]

It's fantastic! Great job!

[ericthegreat]

You definitely have my approval! That is one neat French braid bro!

[AnneAdeline]

It looks quite good! You have a lot of patience, to do all those tiny sections. I usually just do 4 or 5 and call it quits. :lol:
Same here! That looks amazing! I've been braiding my hair for years and I swear yours is still better.

[KarpatiiSiv]

Great french braid - you've done really well.:thumbsup: I still struggle doing one on myself although I can do them for my DH and I'm still trying to teach him how to do it so he can braid mine - I think thats only fair.:lol:

[Elphie]

It's perfect! Your hard work has paid off!

[frodolaughs]

two thumbs up! It looks great.

[apynip]

I like it! It's tons better than i could ever do.

[little_acorn]

Wow - add me to the thud pile :thud: - thats one rocking french braid :D

[tangocurl]

I wish I had that kind of braiding ability....LOL

[smerrie]

It looks absolutely perfect!!! And practice will make it go faster, and easier! I learned how to french braid on myself, and I suck at doing it on other people. But I can just throw my hair in one now, without even thinking, in like 30 seconds. It won't look as perfect as yours though! Good job!

[Tangles]

Wow, that's one really masculine looking braid. VERY cool.

[rusika1]

Good job! Nice and neat, made with small sections of hair, excellent braiding skills.

[utairis]

Awesome job!!!!!!!!

[Cherry_Sprinkle]

That looks fantastic! :flower: I am with the poster who said they usually section off 4 or 5 areas and call it done ;)

[yellowchariot]

It looks perfect. MUCH better than mine! :) :flower: Congrats!

Thanks Heavenly Locks!


It looks quite good! You have a lot of patience, to do all those tiny sections. I usually just do 4 or 5 and call it quits. :lol:

Honestly getoffmyskittle, if my hair were thicker and fully, I would do much bigger sections, but where my hair is finer, it's better if I do small sections! :o


Well, I'm not in much of a position to be judging other people's braids, but I'm gonna go ahead and give you a 10! I'm in the same boat as Heavenly Locks, lol.

Thanks McKanna91! a 10?! I didn't think I pulled it off that great! Hey wait. . . 10 out of 10 or 10 out of 100? haha


That french braid is perfect. Way to go! Man I need more practice, lol.

RoseRedDead, thanks for the "perfect" comment, but I've only practised it for a month, though I do wish I could nail a mohawk braid!


It's fantastic! Great job!

Thanks you as well friskybiznus!


WOW, I wish I could braid this well.It looks amazingly perfect. I am so clumsy with my hands and my hair just tangles up when I try. I can manage a regular and fishtail and that is about it.

Lora410, I do normally keep a comb handy to get rid of the tangles, but I wish I could fishtail!

No way! lol I've only tried it for about 2 months! Thanks, much appreciated AnneAdeline!

KarpatiiSiv, A while back my and ex-g/f and I would do that to each other, it was awesome, I always wanted to go last, because it felt like I was getting a head massage hehe! To bad you don't get that soothing relaxing feeling when you have to do one on your own!


It's perfect! Your hard work has paid off!

Thanks Elphie! Though your's (in the braid group), is still one of the best ones IMO.


two thumbs up! It looks great.

frodolaughs, thanks for those 2 thumbs! much appreciated!


I like it! It's tons better than i could ever do.

No way apynip, just practice a little, its really more about finger memory/coordination than brain power (if it took a lot of brains, I couldn't do it LOL).


Wow - add me to the thud pile :thud: - thats one rocking french braid :D

little_acron thanks much! I does rock when I practice on the guitar. . . man I need to spend more time braiding my guitar strings than my hair! haha


I wish I had that kind of braiding ability....LOL

tangocurl, I assure you it's no "ability" just focus, and finger work.


It looks absolutely perfect!!! And practice will make it go faster, and easier! I learned how to french braid on myself, and I suck at doing it on other people. But I can just throw my hair in one now, without even thinking, in like 30 seconds. It won't look as perfect as yours though! Good job!

30 seconds, thats fast smerrie! It takes me a lot longer, though I did not time myself. Thanks for another "perfect" comment! I never expect those! Though I'm sure you can do one better than mine! I'm just a guy! lol ya can't expect much from us!


I want to Thank You All for your comments!

[melrose1985]

[missfortune9335]

it looks awesome!! I can tell you've been practicing because it looks just perfect :)

[yellowchariot]

Wow, that's one really masculine looking braid. VERY cool.

Tangles, thanks for that comment, I never really can tell if they look better with smaller sections (my fine hair takes well to small crossovers) or bigger ones!


Good job! Nice and neat, made with small sections of hair, excellent braiding skills.

Thanks rusika1, I plan on tackling a Mohawk version, if I can re-program my fingers to do the opposite haha.


Awesome job!!!!!!!!

utairis, I appreciate it!


That looks fantastic! :flower: I am with the poster who said they usually section off 4 or 5 areas and call it done ;)

Cherry_Sprinkle, Thank you. I do agree, when hair is thick and full, 5 sections rock! It just makes the braid look more prominent and pronounced!

[Zéphine]

I took a lot of pics, just to check out different angles of this attempt!
That's not an attempt, that's a BRAID! Great job. My French braids usually have so few sections that they loosen up and start looking like English braids by the end of the day.

[yellowchariot]

it looks great!!!!!

Thanks melrose!


it looks awesome!! I can tell you've been practicing because it looks just perfect :)

Hey missfortune9335, TBH, I only practised about 3 to 4 times a week(when I'm bored) for about 2 months! BTW your braids rock, especially your twin horizontal braids, and french tuck.


Wow! That is so neat and tidy! I hereby award you a gold star in french braiding. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/Scarla/emoticons/e8.gif :D

Teazel, I am truly honored with a statement such as that, coming from a lady that puts my scrawny little braid to shame! Your braid pics are far more superior than mine! haha :luke: Thank you!


That's not an attempt, that's a BRAID! Great job. My French braids usually have so few sections that they loosen up and start looking like English braids by the end of the day.

Zephine, I appreciate your comment! I do sometimes subconsciously forgot to keep enough tension on each crossover section to keep it secure enough by the time I get down to the bottom! BTW your flat 4-strand braid is killer cool! How did you do that? I want to try something like that, but that would require too much practice LOL! How long exactly does your hair "Have" to be in order to get one braided in?

[consarnit]

Wow, that's one really neat braid.

[Lamb]

Approved! :agree: It looks very well done.

[teela1978]

Wow. All those sections!!!! My arms would be aching after trying to do that (thus the reason for 4-5 sections :)) Beautiful braid.

[Zombiekins]

Woah, that's a damn good lookin' braid! You make my attempts look like crap!! :D

[Charlotte]

Wow! That's super neat and you've managed so many sections!! I still have to get my girls to help me with my braiding... :o

[yellowchariot]

Approved! :agree: It looks very well done.

I appreciate the kind words Lamb!


Wow. All those sections!!!! My arms would be aching after trying to do that (thus the reason for 4-5 sections :)) Beautiful braid.

Actually my arms never get sore teela1978! Also my hair isn't heavy at all. So that may make a difference!


Woah, that's a damn good lookin' braid! You make my attempts look like crap!! :D

Zombiekins, thanks for the comment, btw your hair is killer cool! If you can just get by your first few attempts (I guess the whole mental concept of it) then you focus more on the technique, then you look in the mirror and all of the sudden, you realized it just happend! lol


Wow! That's super neat and you've managed so many sections!! I still have to get my girls to help me with my braiding... :o

Charlotte, your words are always kinds, thank you so much. I usually take about half inch sections, pulling them back all the way across horizontally to the back of my head and then crossing them over.

[sneakybea]

Really nice and even! Good job!

[krn2891]

It looks good to me. I always plan on doing small sections like you did but then I get into a rush and finish it up in about 6 or 7 sections.

[Silver & Gold]

Well done!

[Themyst]

Hey, that's really great! I don't even know how to French braid.

[yellowchariot]

Really nice and even! Good job!

Thanks for the comment sneakybea


It looks good to me. I always plan on doing small sections like you did but then I get into a rush and finish it up in about 6 or 7 sections.

I would like to use 5 or 6 sections if my hair had the right texture!


Well done!

Thanks Silver & Gold!


Hey, that's really great! I don't even know how to French braid.

Themyst, I appreciate that! I was baffled by it at first!




OK, I'm starting to get a little embarrassed, because I'm a guy that can braid, and some of you ladies are telling me that I can braid better than some of you. . . :confused: . . . "AM I NORMAL???" LOL :tongue:

[aada]

excellent job! i love french braids with lots of smaller sections.

[Gumball]

That's awesomely well done! 100% approval from me. Good on ya for patience, too.

[windinherhair]

I think it looks great!! Gosh, I think it is even better then mine. LOL! I can tell that you took smaller strands of hair and did more work with it. I taught myself how to french braid in high school and I remember how frustrating it was, and it took me a while.

[camirra555]

Whoa! That's quite impressive! Mine look like crap, I'd be embarrassed to post a pic of them. I 've been trying to convince my bf to learn. Maybe this will give him some motivation.

[Nyghtingale]

WoW, that is a mighty fine braid. Great job!!

[Wanderer09]

You have skills! It looks very neat.

[adiapalic]

Good lord what a french braid! I with skitts with the patience! You get 5/5 stars :D

[Redheaded Raven]

You definitely have a approval here, It looks quite good!:cheese:

[Masara]

That's a great braid: The sections are very even and neat.
Congratulations.!

Now you're going to have to work on your Dutch braid, though it may ttake a little more hair.

windinherhair, at first it was frustrating, but then my fingers began to "learn" the motion and pattern, much like playing a guitar, you kinda stop thinking for a moment, and feel with your fingers.

Masara, that was one thing I did have issues with, was keeping the braid even going down the back of my head. Sometimes I would start at the top, and end up behind my ear LOL!
BTW ALL of your braids are spectacular!

Renbirde, No way! I disagree :p. . . it's not really lumpy, its mostly FULL and THICK! Something that my braids are not! I think it looks great! Especially with your hair color and texture! Your plaits(crossovers) really bring out that effect! :thumbsup:

[Noctifer]

That is a very nice braid, if only mine could become that good looking

[Zéphine]

BTW your flat 4-strand braid is killer cool! How did you do that? I want to try something like that, but that would require too much practice LOL! How long exactly does your hair "Have" to be in order to get one braided in?
Thanks! I'm not really sure about the length thing because I didn't try it when my hair was shorter (above the waist), but I imagine your hair would be long enough for the "French" part at the least.
Flat 4-strand braids are a lot like regular braids except that each set of "bumps" takes two steps to make. Step A: Cross the inner right strand over the inner left strand. Step B: Cross the outer right strand under the (new) inner right strand and cross the outer left strand over the inner left strand. Repeat process until you run out of hair.
For a French version, start at the top of your head and add hair to the outer strands before crossing them inward in Step B. Hope that makes sense!

RavennaNight, thanks for the description! TBH the only reason why it appears so meticulous is because of my fine textured hair. hehe


That's very impressive! I'd definitely like to learn how to french braid but right now I have no clue.

Hey Jason, I learned from here at LHC most of the members have awesome tutorials and youtube channels, soon I will give credit, where credit is due by listing the names of the people that I learned from. I was actually over complicating the matter, If you can do a regular braid, then the french part isn't really too bad. You just have to let your fingers do the work, imo.


Perfect braid, the amount of sections is really impressive.

Thank you mira-chan! I appreciate your input, especially saying that it's perfect, and you've got some awesome hair! So thanks a lot!


You put me to shame! Looks good!

Well done!! :eyebrows:

Hey Little_Bird, I actually do, until I find a more secure way to wear my hair for outdoors, I guess for me, this is the way to go. I would have never discovered this style had my ex-g/f not wanted me to braid her hair every night for a month to experiment on her hair growth. She did in-fact gain almost 1" (though she was taking hair and nail vitamins as well). I never really thought about it being a functional style for myself, until her, and then later on other female friends braided my hair. haha


really nice french braid!

Thanks maxzeen! I appreciate your input!


Nice job! Tight braid, small even sections. The Russian judge gives it a 9.0!

Spike! thank you from Virginia, USA all the way to Russia!

My french braids never looked that pretty. I could never get them straight and smooth looking. Very nice!

metalgypsy85, alright now I don't do pretty when it comes to hair! haha J/K, I know what you mean though
At first, I found it a bit awkward when my hair was beginning, to get long, and females would compliment me by saying my hair was pretty, or beautiful. However now, I don't mind it. Thank You!


That is a perfect french braid! Very neat!

Thanks NurseMama, I appreciate your response!


Hey Yellowchariot!!

You TOTALLY have the braid!!!!:cheese:It's perfect. It's much better than mine!! All your braid bumps are the same size. You've seen mine in my album, there is like 5? uneven bumps. Congrats, this is a perfect braid by all standards :)

Thanks Susana,but your hair is thicker and fuller than mine! which I would prefer to have! Because the Dutch/Mohawk braid looks absolutely killer, on thick hair, it makes the "mohawk" setting on top of the head very distinct and prominent


Wow. I'm impressed at how even and neat your French braid looks. And it makes your hair look so thick and healthy.

Thanks Madame J, I needed that comment for the thickness! lol! When I took it out this morning, I had some massive kinky waves and curls, which gave my hair more fullness!


Thumbs up! Very neat and tidy and nice looking!!

ZadenWillowfyre, thanks for your response, I slept in it last night, and to my surprise, It looked almost the same, except for some hairs that was sticking out on the sides LOL


wow you did that, thats pretty good I wish I could braid my own hair that well

Hey redneckprincess, Yup, I did that. It was my 2nd "successful" attempt, so I took a lot of pics for proof! haha

drbrownphd, it is tricky to adjust from doing the hair on someone else, as opposed to your own head!


Great! Now come and do mine LOL

LOL MandaMom2Three! The last time I french braided my ex-g/f's has been over a couple of years now. I've adjusted to doing them on myself, so I would probably have to re-think the technique once I get used to doing it a certain way! ;)


Thats rather impressive, wish i could do that.

FrozenPrincess, the key is zero frustration, and 60% motivation and 40% patience! If you can just do the braid down your head without evening caring what the end result will look like. Then you will eventually get the hang of it.

My Advice to anyone is: Don't stop your braid just because you forgot a step or 2, keep going on. Just finish the technique every time, that's when you accidentally (in my case) do a good one! :thumbsup:



Also keep watching and reading those tutorials of the members here who I gave credit to! They are truly awesome! :)
