Braiding Your Own Hair

When you watch someone braiding hair and they tell you “it’s so easy to do!” are you the one that pipes up saying “yeah, on someone else's head.” It’s true that it can sometimes be tricky to replicate hairdos on yourself that look so simple when you watch other people do it. You can’t see the back of your head and looking in the mirror can mess you all up at times. One of the things that seems impossible for some and insanely easy for others is braiding your own hair. Sure, you can whip up a French braid on your BFF, but when you try to do it on yourself, it looks like a boy did it. We scoured YouTube for some of the trendiest braids and DIY pros that show you not only how to do it quickly, but also make it look awesome. So, stop crying that your mom won’t come over each morning to reprise her role as hairdresser and learn to be your own!
