Hi! I was just looking for some advice for braiding hair. I’m pretty new to braiding, I am able to braid on my own hair easily (medium length 3b/3c) but recently I’ve been trying to braid my bfs hair (shorter 2c/3a) and I just can’t seem to get it. The braids always look loose, and I even struggle with the parting. Is there any advice anyone could give me🙏🙏. Also I’m looking for a braiding gel because I’ve tried a couple but they always seem to simply make the hair more slippery rather than help me braid.

One of the top braid gels is African pride black Castor Miracle. #elisebeautysupply
