What's inside?

This is a separate course, not an update of BRAIDS: afro braiding from start to finish. Over 120 lessons take you from your first section to a finished head, and they are all open from the day you enroll. You keep access for 6 months. I hold regular live sessions with my students, and in my private student group on Telegram you share your practice photos and I answer your questions.

  • The course opened on September 15, 2026, and students are already working through the lessons.

What a full head of afro braids costs

Afro braids are among the most expensive services a braider offers. Clients pay hundreds of dollars or euros for them: in the US, $150 to $400 or more for a full head is common, and long or detailed styles cost more.

The course costs $799, about the price of two to five full-head appointments, depending on where you live. What you charge depends on your market, your speed and your clients, so this is a price comparison, not a promise of income.
