Saved myself $150 bucksss 💋

Okay, so I just have to share this! I've been eyeing those stunning Fulani knotless boho braids for ages, but the salon prices? Yikes! I'm talking easily $200-$300 for the look I wanted. Being a SAHM, every penny counts, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and try to do my Fulani knotless w/ me at home. And guess what? I managed to save myself a solid $150! Seriously, it feels so good to rock this gorgeous style without breaking the bank. My inspiration was a mix of classic Fulani cornrows in the front, transitioning into those beautiful, free-flowing knotless braids with bohemian curls throughout. I was specifically going for a black and honey blonde boho braids look, which adds such a vibrant pop. For materials, I picked up several packs of pre-stretched braiding hair in black and a lovely honey blonde shade, plus some wavy human hair for the boho effect. Don't forget your rat-tail comb, clips, edge control, and a good setting mousse! The process itself was a journey, but so rewarding. I started by sectioning my hair carefully – the key to neat Fulani braids is precise parting. For the front, I did about 4-5 cornrows that curve towards the ear, and then for the rest, it was all about the medium knotless braids. I loved adding those curly pieces as I braided, creating that effortless boho vibe. It really transforms the look from just regular knotless to something special. It took a few hours, a good playlist, and a lot of patience, but seeing the progress was so motivating. One thing I learned is that prepping your hair beforehand makes a huge difference. Wash, deep condition, and blow-dry it straight to minimize frizz and make braiding easier. Also, don't be afraid to experiment with the size of your sections for the knotless braids – I chose medium knotless braids because they strike a good balance between fullness and weight. And those color medium knotless braids? Integrating the honey blonde was easier than I thought! Just make sure to blend it seamlessly. Beyond the massive savings, these braids are such a fantastic protective hairstyle. My natural hair is tucked away, protected from daily manipulation and environmental stressors. Plus, they're relatively low maintenance after the initial effort. I just tie them up at night and use a little mousse on the curly bits in the morning, and they look fresh for weeks. If you've been contemplating trying to do your own fulani knotless or boho braids, I say go for it! It might seem daunting at first, but with a little research and dedication, you can absolutely achieve a salon-quality look right at home. My friends couldn't believe I did them myself, and that proud feeling of saving $150 while rocking a stunning new hairstyle is just priceless. Give it a try, you might surprise yourself!
