Listennn y’all really did a remarkable job with the breakdown of literally each step of this course! From parts to the dip! I had to unlearn what I knew and apply these techniques and babyyyy these results show that every single penny was worth it. I made the price of the course right back by being confident in what I was taught and apply it to what I’ve known. Thank you ladies soooooo much! This course was heaven sent lol

Literally covered everything from beginning stage to ending stage of braiding. I think I want to bring traditional box braids back to my services.

Super beginner friendly and very informative! I love how clear and concise the steps are. I appreciate the repetition on how to part and install braid. Especially being a visual learner I probably watched these at least 3xs! Almost feel like a hands on training. Amazing job you guys did! The braids are fire!

As a self-taught braider, this is my first time purchasing a course to teach a method (traditional box braids) that I already knew how to do. I must say from the parting techniques to the installment of the hair, it has helped me to understand how to properly install hair and save an ample amount of time!!! This course is amazing!!! I highly recommend this course to anyone!! Don't think twice about it y'all.....GET IT! INVEST IN YOUR CRAFT!!
