The Receipts

:)

The [Hailee] method. I really thought I could braid and braid well… after learning that method it was alarming how easily it became muscle memory! It’s like I can Dutch braid in my sleep

Audrey

MFB Guided Learning

I think my biggest takeaway is how simplified the course made braiding. I've always overcomplicated an type of updo or style. Having the camera follow along, as a visual learner, did wonders.

Jillian

MFB Guided Learning

Coming in and knowing how to dutch braid previously, and then being able to enhance that and take it to a new level was so much fun and so rewarding!! I also loved the weekly meetings!! It was great to get insight on what others were thinking and had questions about that I didn’t think of!!

Jullia

I ended the course with new tools in my tool belt that i’ll be applying to my every day practice. This course was thorough and easy to navigate! It gave me a sense of community and motivation. I loved and truly looked forward to the weekly meetings. Every week sharing our experiences and seeing everyone’s progress was so uplifting!
