Hi guys!

As I'm trying not to add heat to my hair I've been plaiting my hair before bed so it's nice and curly in the morning. I've been getting my mum to do as I can't French braid/plait my hair myself!
Does anybody have any good techniques/tips. Or recommend any tutorials?
Please help!

Sorry I don't really have any techniques but I just watched loads of YouTube videos and personally for me practice made perfect, so in your spare time just practice and you will soon get better and better! Hope this helps:) ♡

I found Dutch braids so much easier to do on myself than French, I struggle to do French on myself (easy on other people though!) but can Dutch braid my own hair so easily. Instead of putting the hair over each strand, you go under. I learnt from youtube and by learning where my hands go, I hate using a mirror as it's all backwards.

I do french braids on myself sometimes and its not hard for me so I'll help you out as much as I can. You may need this, but I don't as experience grows, you can hang a mirror on the wall behind your mirror to help you see what youre doing. It takes a lot of practice and I just do it without thinking, as thinking makes it more complicated. GOOD luck.
