Braiding at home

Hi, I have a short natural style that I usually get cut every 2 months. Last lock down I shaved my head but this time I'm thinking I'll try to grow it and braid it. The top is long enough with some additional hair so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for online shops and what type of hair might be good. I've always braided and twisted my hair but never with extensions. Any YouTube tutorials for box braids recommendations also welcome! Thank you.

Also for tutorials
Knotless are harder to get tight so depends on preference. Next time I do mine I'm going to do the rubber band method

@warriorwomanx thank you so much, I've orders that kit, brilliant. I'll take a look at the YouTube later too. I get so overwhelmed with it all!

I was at first but once you get the hang of it you'll be fine! Make sure you leave yourself a couple days as it takes looooong 😂 I take a whole weekend for mine and binge watch a Netflix series
