FAB BRAIDERS
ACADEMY (ONLINE)
The Foundation You’ve Been Looking For
Whether you're starting from scratch or already braiding but getting inconsistent results, this is the structured training you need.
You'll learn clean parting, smooth execution, and systematic sectioning. Not just "watch and copy," but understanding why your hands need to be positioned a certain way, how much tension to apply, and what adjustments to make for different hair types.
For beginners: Start with the foundations. How to hold the hair, create even sections, control tension.
For improvers: Identify exactly where your technique needs adjustment. Fix uneven parts, bumpy or fluffy braids, chaotic sectioning.

Meet Your Trainer
About meI'm Angela, the braider behind Fab Xtensions and founder of Fab Braiders Academy.
I've been braiding professionally in Dublin for over 7 years, working with clients across all hair textures. Afro-textured, fine, wavy. I've learned what actually works when the hair in front of you doesn't match the tutorials you've seen online.
The techniques I teach in this academy are the same ones I use with my clients every day. Clean parting. Controlled tension. Systematic sectioning. The fundamentals that make braids look professional, not just passable.
I started this academy because too many people are learning from tutorials that only show one hair type, or that skip over the technical details that actually matter. You need to understand why your hands should be positioned a certain way, not just watch someone do it and hope you can copy it.
This training is structured, specific, and built for real application. Whether you're braiding yourself, your family, or building a service, you'll learn techniques that actually hold up under pressure.
