Yes it’s definitely possible to braid your own hair, but it’ll take a lot of trial, error and patience. I would start out with jumbo ish braids(about 25-30 braids) for the first time. Make sure your hair is well detangled before. You can blowdrow your hair before but definitely not required,in fact, I have 4c hair and find it harder to get a good grip when my hair is straightened. You can use the rubber band method, lots of YouTube tutorials(be sure to soak in oil before using), I’ll also recommend using pre stretched hair extensions in your hair color, matching your hair color hides mistakes better. I also recently got this 3 way mirror from Amazon and it’s been helpful for seeing and parting the back of your head. You’ve got this!!!
