How To: Half Up Half Down Quickweave |Unice Hair

Yes, y'all, so we're going to jump right into it, we're going to start off by sectioning off our half up. You can pretty much make this ponytail as small or as big as you want. I use the highest point of my ear as my guide to my part. So, just depending on how much hair you want, some people have a bigger head, smaller head, bigger ears. You know just kind of depends, so you can eye this part. It doesn't really matter. I didn't make a perfect part, because i couldn't really see what i was doing at the top of my head, but just do the best that you can all right now, once we have enough hair for our half up we're going to go ahead and put that In a ponytail and get it out the way, so we can start to focus on our foundation in the back now, if y'all watch my last quick wee, video y'all know i'm not the best when it comes to braiding my hair, but it doesn't matter they're going To be covered up anyway, so no one's going to see them. Your goal is just try to make it as flat as possible so that it doesn't look bulky in the back. You all right, john! I'M not going to bore y'all with the braiding because it gets pretty repetitive right here, but i do want to show y'all how, when i'm braiding, i do pick up the braid, the first braid and add it into my second braid. And i do that as much as i can all the way through, just to kind of eliminate having to sew so many braids up once i get done, but as y'all can see, braids are not the best. It doesn't really matter y'all, you just want to get them as flat as you can we're going to sew them up and put a cap on over them. Anyway, all right, and once you are done with your braids you're, going to just fold them over against the top of your braids and sew them down. I don't feel like this is a requirement you could put your cap on first and then so because i ended up sewing the cap on as well, but i just like to do it this way, um just so that it's easier to put the cap on and There'S no particular pattern of how to sew these braids down. I literally just feel the braids and i will stick the needle wherever i see fit and just make sure that they are pushed up against my head. I just cut the thread off and tied in a knot all right and we're just taking a regular stocking cap and we're going to pull it over our parts um for our half. But you just want to pull up close to the top of your head and i'm just filling for my braids through my cap and i'm just going to sew this down again in no particular pattern just sewing around the perimeter of it, the top and the bottom. Just like a huge circle, i also threaded some in the middle. You know no particular pattern, i'm just trying to sew it on so that it stays once we cut off the excess cap. Okay, this part is also not required, but it helps me um. I just take a white makeup pencil and i draw out my part so that i don't put tracks over it. So i just kind of feel for it, and that is like my cut off with laying tracks and then we're going to take this protective shield and we're going to put this all over our cap. This is so that it's easier when it's time to take it down, all you have to do is wet it, and all the tracks will pretty much just come off and it kind of just protects your hair from the glue all right y'all, and this is how It looks once i got done so i laid it on pretty thick um. As you can see, sewing pattern is not neat, doesn't matter still going to get the job done um and then i just go ahead and blow dry. You have to make sure that this protective shield is completely dry before you start to lay your tracks or they won't stick so just make sure you blow dry, it completely dry. I actually like to go and blow dry after i put on each track just to make sure so that way, they're not coming right off the next day and just make sure when you're laying your tracks you're not going straight across you kind of want to do Like a u-shape, you want the tips of your tracks to curve in i didn't do it as much as i should have like mine were a little curved, but they really should have been more of a u-shaped pattern: okay and since you're only laying tracks on half Of your head make sure you are laying your tracks really close together, so that the bottom half is still really thick and full. I also went ahead and flat ironed some of the tracks before i put them on just to make it easier for me to style. Since i am doing them so close together, so that's another tip. Okay, hey you guys! I forgot to mention this: hair is from eunice. It is their malaysian body wave hair. So i got this from unix.com um. I will leave the information in the description box. This video is not sponsored. I bought this hair with my own money, and this is like my third time, reusing it. So i'm probably gon na go ahead and put it to rest after this hairstyle, but it is some good hair. So once you lay your last track, you're going to pick up your cap and we're going to cut off the excess you want to pull it as far as you can and then just cut as close to the track as you can, without cutting the track. As long as you laid your tracks pretty close together and you sewed it down and put your protective shield on, you shouldn't have any issues with cutting your cap off. I only cut off the top part of what you could see and a little bit on the side. I kind of just left the cap in the back, because i mean nobody's going to see that under there anyway. So don't really matter um and then we're just going to go ahead and start to straighten our half up all right now, i'm sure we all know how to straighten our hair. So i'm going to go ahead and speed this up. God all right and because we want our ponytail sleek, i'm going to take my little golden hot, pressing comb and i'm just going to go over my edges a little bit in my roots to just try to get it as straight as i can. So we can start to mold it up into a ponytail foreign, okay, and this first ponytail doesn't have to be perfect um. I ended up having to re-put it up in a ponytail, probably about two or three times so, once you put your glasses and your ear control on, so this is kind of just like a base for you to start spraying, your god to be and molding your Hair up but you're going to redo this ponytail about one or two times, or at least i did i'm. If y'all plan on pulling edges out in the front make sure y'all pull those out before you put the guy to be on because mines were a little dried and hard when i pulled them out, but once i put the age control on them, they were okay, Good all right, so you just put a lot of got to be on your ponytail for the mold. I also use this ebbing wax stick to kind of like smoothen it up a little bit and that's great more got to be on top of it, to give it a more sleek look and, of course, like i said, i redid that ponytail about two or three Times so just keep doing it until you get your ponytail as sleek as you want it um, and this was the last time that i did my ponytail y'all um, the very final way, so once you get it all sleeked up, you know that's when you'll. Do your final ponytail, i did notice that i had left a little bit of my hair down on the sides. Um. I shouldn't have done it. I should have put it all up in a ponytail because it caused me to have to flat iron that little piece you see, that's hanging down a lot um, even the next day. So just make sure you put all your hair up in that ponytail, but then we're going to just braid it down and we're going to put some neck strips around the braid. So we can start to put our tracks on it to put the next strip on. I just scrunch it up at the bottom of my braid and i just tie a rubber band around it to hold it on there and then i just kind of wrap it around all the way around to the top of the braid used to. If you need to, depending on how long your hair is, i did notice that i wrapped the neck strip very, very low on the braid i feel like. I shouldn't have done it that far down my braid, maybe halfway through, but you definitely want to make sure that your full braid is covered at the top, because that's where you'll pretty much lay your tracks and because i'm reusing hair y'all. I had to do one track at a time with this. Ponytail was very time consuming, but if you had a bundle, it would be so much easier. All you'll have to do is put a strip of glue on the neck strip, and then you can just keep wrapping the bundle around around around around, but because i had to do track by track y'all. It was just a mess but got ta. Do what you got ta do and i didn't realize that my camera had cut off while i was doing the top tracks. But i pretty much just did the same thing all the way to the top, and i took the very tip of the lash track and wrapped it around. The ponytail and spray got to be on it, and then i ran out of that to be so. I used spritz, then i just took my blow dryer and made sure that everything was dry and secured and sleek and neat - and i also went ahead and blow dried - the hair straight a little bit too, because it got a little bit tangled all the hair broken Against each other, all right - and you can leave it straight like this and just wear it - how it is, but i prefer a little curl in my world, so i just went ahead and put some loose curls in my hair, but you can pretty much crimp it. You can straighten it, you can wear it, however, you want to put flexi rods in it overnight, but i just like a little loose curl to give it a little more style, all right, y'all and that's pretty much it. So this is how the hair turned out. This is just me playing around with it um, but it turned out pretty good y'all. This is my first time doing a half up half down two. Sometimes it's nothing to it, but to do it, it seems like this stuff is so hard. You got to go to a hairstylist to get it done, it's really not that hard. It turned out pretty good.
