00:00Hey, Nicely Curly World.
00:01I'm Evelyn.
00:02I'm Jerilyn.
00:03And today, we are giving Jerilyn the gift of braids because she's never had braids before?
00:13Nope, never.
00:14I'm kind of worried for her edges because if you're not used to the sensation of having
00:24your hair braided, it might be a little jarring.
00:27I remember being a kid and being squirmy and like, I want to go get a Capri Sun or I want
00:33to go play outside, but I can't because I'm in between some lady's legs that my mom used
00:38to work with, who gave her the hookup on braids.
00:42So it'll be cool to see how this works with an adult.
00:47Everybody thinks that they're a lazy natural.
00:50I mean, I'm the queen of lazy, alright?
00:53I just don't really mess with it.
00:56I have manipulated by touching it, by doing bantu knots, maybe picking it out, making
01:03it a fro, but I never said, I'm going to get braids today.
01:08I just want them so bad.
01:11Are you ready?
01:12Yes.
01:13Yes, I am ready.
01:14Let's go.
01:15So the hair is 3x or 3x?
01:20Afro heritage dash natural and healthy.
01:24I feel like I already have that though.
01:263x braid, 3x braid.
01:28What is the 3x?
01:29And then it says, express yourself.
01:32With 3x the braid possibilities.
01:35It's 3x.
01:36It's 3x.
01:37It's going to be very smooth and comfortable.
01:39It's going to feel like real human hair.
01:43Lightweight with maximum air ventilation.
01:46I...
01:47It's synthetic.
01:49Bianca did reassure me before all of this that I would not cry and that she would be as gentle
01:55as possible.
01:56It's happening.
02:00I feel like I'm getting locked into something that I will never ever forget.
02:05I have, I have commitment issues, so.
02:09I'm getting, um, really excited about the possibility of experiencing scalp itch.
02:16But the only reason is because I want to do this for like the first time because I've never,
02:20I've never done it.
02:21Look out!
02:222 hours in and I keep looking in the mirror at my hair.
02:37I can't believe that it's happening.
02:39This is so much fun.
02:42I feel kind of like Joanne the Scammer except not a Caucasian woman.
02:46Okay, so it's been 5 hours.
02:59How many more hours do I have left?
03:02Um, I feel like it'll be done in about 2.
03:06I got that half done in like an hour.
03:08Since I'm older, um, I, I've developed patients, that's a ball-faced lie.
03:20I was very nervous in the beginning about it but we're here now and we might be in it
03:26for the long haul.
03:27Okay, so, I don't know what it looks like, I'm nervous.
03:39Where have you been?
03:40Where have you been hiding?
03:41Well, you know, just getting braids.
03:43I feel more ferocious, um, I want to do like this.
03:49Oh, and it just snapped back.
03:52That's great.
03:53Um, I'm looking forward to, uh, going to the grocery store and just randomly hair flipping.
04:00Just destroying lives with the slayage.
04:03But I definitely am prepared to not wear t-shirts and just basically slay for no reason whatsoever.
04:10Wow!
04:11Wow!
04:12Look at you!
04:13I know!
04:14How do you feel?
04:15I feel, I feel pretty and like...
04:20You're gonna be so insufferable, um, in the office and outside the office and that's
04:27really what I was going for.
04:28Yeah.
04:29That's the essence of getting braids is just...
