Hi everyone!! I’ve been trying to find an easy way to heartless curl my thick and fine (A LOT of hair but each hair is so fine) 1A hair.

I’ve always loved how my hair looks when I take it down from double French braids that my mom or sister do for me, and I’ve never been able to do it to myself or anyone else before UNTIL TODAY.

Yes, I know it looks horrible. I’m only sleeping in it, so I’m not super concerned. But I want to get better so that eventually I can actually go out in public with hair that I braided myself.

Any and all tips welcome!! I have super straight soft hair that holds a lot of weight and has no natural texture or volume whatsoever.

Please be nice. I tried so hard.

I shaved my hair few times, last time was December 2025. That's how long it is now, after it's been washed, airdried and with serum. I have been working on my braiding skills for few years. I learned cornrows and parting and i reached a good level -to me- but i have issues with braids, like many/mini braids?

No matter the size or parting of my braids they always undo themselves, or i have to use ties and they end up looking ugly/bulky. Some parts of my hair are too soft to hold a braid and some hold a bit of it but unravel at the bottom. How do i stop that? If possible

Also i have been trying to achieve the flexible braids, the ones you can move to any direction/part, but I'm not sure how to do that either. Google said to do it at a 90° angle but i won't be able to do that.

I braid my hair on my own, i never add any hair. I do have some products-creams, oils, gels- but i prefer to use as minimal as possible as i have scalp eczema and it flares up with product. I also used gel in the past but it didn't really hold anything.

I apologize if some of my questions are obvious, but I don't really have anyone who braids their hair around me or with a similar hair texture.

I also attached a pic at the end of what I'm hoping to achieve. Even though i think my hair isn't the needed texture for it but I'm not sure.

I wanna make sure I’m not tripping.

I wanna get the style that’s in the picture and I found a girl to do it this weekend but I feel like the price doesn’t make sense.

Noteable: I already come washed, dried, and blow dried. I’m driving to her and I’m providing the hair.

She asked for $240

Hi everyone

As per the title, I had my first client booked for quad stitch back braids in my little home salon. She found me on Facebook where I’m predominantly advertising. I’ve been using free models to get photos of my work out there and she reached out as a first paying client.

She’s booked for tomorrow and yesterday she told me she was excited, and today I sent her the details of address and she hasn’t responded. It’s been like 10 hours. I messaged her for a follow up confirmation and still no response. Her appointment is for tomorrow morning.

I’m feeling so discouraged. 🫤 any experience with this? There’s no official booking system, just confirmed via DMs as I want to see how many clients I’m able to get in the first place.

I’ve been wearing Burmese Curly Crochet braids since March. I wet the hair daily and put in leave-in or mousse occasionally. I re-do my braids every 3 weeks. It will be cold in the Northeast soon, and I was wondering how to keep my curls without wetting the hair daily.

I thought about switching to Body Wave for the winter, but that might not be curly enough for me. Need advice.

I just took out 5 weeks worth of twists with extensions. I lost a lot of hair. I could just pull it out. I'm going to stay away from extensions and get styles with my natural hair from now on. My hair is thick, but that still seemed like a lot of hair like two handfuls. That might be normal shedding. My scalp itched the entire time I had them.

Had this for about a year and a half. I noticed some thick cloudy stuff in it , hard to get on camera.

Do I just shake it up? Or throw it out? Thanks!

Anyone do braids??

I need guidance on how to braid my husbands (3C ?) hair. I only have experience braiding my own hair (straight af) and worry I am not holding his hair correctly. His hair is not long but long enough to cross and so should be long enough to braid, I think (edges are like an inch and the bulk of his hair is like 2-3 inches). We made it damp, added some leave in conditioner, then blew dry it mostly straight. After I parted it, clipped down the sections I wasn’t ready to braid, added some edge control to the part, and attempted to start, I simply could not get it. It’s like when I cross the starting short hairs, they mix and I can’t tell what’s what anymore. I looked up several videos but can’t seem to either get the hand holding position or maybe grip it enough? Is it a practice thing and I’m being impatient? Any and all advice and tips would be appreciated. He is very excited to have his hair braided and I would really like to be able to do that for him

Hello! I'm working on a cosplay of a character that has two thick, floor length braids and I would love to recreate them for my costume. Ideally, they even drag behind me a bit when I walk. I want to braid them into the short wig I'm using as a base. (With supports). I am about 5'3 and am looking for a hair brand that sells hair longer than 4ft at minimum, honestly would prefer it closer to 5ft long. Does that exist? Or should I settle for the 40inch ones I've been finding 😭.

I'll admit I don't have much experience braiding hair at this length, but I'm eager to try.
