You've watched all the tutorials but still can't braid.

You do a ponytail in the morning and she comes home looking like she's been in a wind tunnel. The braid you want to do instead comes out loose, the part sits crooked, and every attempt ends this way.

Watched tutorials and still feel stuck

Most tutorials assume that you know things that you actually don't. They skip one small detail, and now you're stuck.

“I'm not good with my hands.”

That's what most parents who came to my classes thought about themselves, and they walked out braiding.

You fail once and worry to try again

The first real try happens the morning of photo day or the concert, with a clock running and a wriggling kid. You fail once and never want to try again.

The salon does it instead.

$40 to $80 a session solves the occasion and reinforces the belief: braiding is a thing professionals do, not me.

Bubbles and braids

I've taught 400+ parents to braid. Your hands are next.

I'm Ksenia, and I've watched hundreds of beginner hands make exactly the mistakes yours make.

The problem was never your hands. Nobody broke the braid into pieces small enough to learn.

Parents who couldn't plait walk out braiding

The method you'll follow at camp is the same one I teach parents in my in-person workshops. One drill at a time. It's the reason a parent with zero experience can braid after a single session.

Here's what they say in their own words.

After not being able to do Dutch Braid and barely being able to do a French Braid that didn't fall out in seconds, my daughter go up this morning requesting braids for school. Whilst they're not perfect, they're pretty good and Miss 8 loved them.

I reckon I'm doing pretty damn good for a crusty middle-aged Army veteran who has never had anything to do with long hair. The fact she can get me doing a passable Dutch braid in 2hrs is testament to how good she is as a teacher. Also, I strongly recommend all fathers do this course!

Giles G., Google review

I've tried to learn how to braid watching You Tube videos with no success. Ksenia is so patient and the steps she taught us are easy to follow. Highly recommend!
