Brazilian Knots Hair Extensions Pt1

Hi everyone - this is Corinne here at hair string and today I am going to be doing a little demonstration on the Brazilian knots hair extensions. This video took about three hours to do so. It'S been cut down to about thirty minutes and three parts, so you'll get to see it a little bit at a time not to bore you. So what I'm doing right now, I just section off the hair. This is what I'm going to do. The first row. I'M leaving enough so that she can put her hair up in a ponytail and also we can go back to it later if she wants to add another row or two in the back. But for this particular one right now, which is going to start right there - and this will give me room to move around and give her room to to do different styles. The hair that I am using is Vietnamese raw hair, and I will have the link for that hair if you'd like to purchase it at the end of the video. This hair is about three and a half ounces, which is equivalent to one bundle of hair. If you, if you're normally usual, I'm sorry if you use wefted hair, so this hair does not have a wept on it. It'S just straight cut from a ponytail and it's pretty easy for me to use what I'm doing a Brazilian. Not so I don't have to waste time cutting anything off, so I just pull apart exactly what I need and I start doing the Brazilian. I so hope you enjoyed this video, I'm gon na try to make more, because I know a lot of people want to see how it's done so there you have it you all right. So I take very little section, depending on the texture of my clients, hair and this particular client. Here she had very fine, hair and she's been doing sewing for a while. So we decided to try the Brazilian not just to see how she likes it and how her hair reacts to it. So I take a very small section of hair, then I add the extension to it and wrap elastic bratty. So that's pretty much it just wrapping and a circular motion and tie a knot, cut the thread and work on another one, and I keep doing that over and over and over until that row is over. So you will pretty much see me doing the same thing over and over and over it does not hurt. It looked like it tight, but it's not tight and it shouldn't be tight. So, if you're having this done elsewhere and it hurts - you may want to let your stylist know that it's a little bit too tight, but the Brazilian knot and general does not hurt at all. It'S very easy to do well, at least to me. I'Ve been doing it for quite a long time now, so I'm used to it. It doesn't hurt my wrist and my clients aren't hurt by doing it. So um see that section right there very small and so okay. Here we go it's another one. So I'm just wrapping it and my pinky is catching the other thread and case you wondering what that's going, so I don't really count how many time I wrapped the thread I just keep going until I feel like the hair is secure enough and I do about Four knots, then I cut it and I move on to the next one. So the toy that I use is elastic thread is very thin, very strong and very durable. So I like to use that thread because it doesn't leave extra weight on the hair. So it's thin and it doesn't leave any bulk feeling to it. Unless I take a lot of hair, I add a lot of hair to it. The knots, let's see what else you're probably wondering what do you do with the hair? That'S left out everyone whose hair i do. I do them differently, so some people I leave hair out in between and sometimes I don't so it all depends on the amount of hair that you want to have added. So if you're bringing me about one bundle, I would definitely leave hair in between, unless you just want me to focus on one area. But if you want me to make it full all around, then I would spread it out by leaving hair in between and the hair in between that's left out. You will have to take care of that hair, meaning you can't ignore it, so you have to comb it every day. You know take care of it like you would normally take care of your hair. You can't ignore it, because you have the extension so like for this one. We left out quite a bit in the back and, like I said, we can always go back and add more Brazilian, not to it, or it would allow her to do those high bun, updo or ponytail that people like to do so. That'S what leaving hair in between or you know, a lot of hair in the back is for and also if you want to wear your hair up. Half half up and half down leaving hair in between allows you to do that. So you can learn and more than one style. Excuse me with the Brazilian that it's very easy to maintain. I get a lot of questions on. How do you maintain these extensions and I always say you maintain them like you? Would your own hair um, you can wash it every day if that's what you definitely normally do every other day, once a week, once every two week you can round brush it yeah you can round brush the hair. You can color your hair. If you have a relaxer and you need a touch-up and you can do a touch-up with the Brazilian nuts in it, it simply require a longer time of rinsing out the relaxer in case they get stuck in the lock but other than that. The Brazilian that does not prevent you from doing you know which you normally do to your hair. If you like, the oil, your scalp, you know whatever products we like to use, you can continue to use those products or there's no shampoo, there's no special shampoo needed for this technique. So you will continue with your usual products um, except for those who have the Brazilian keratin treatment and if you have the Brazilian keratin treatment, which I do recommend for clients with very curly kinky tight hair. Those texture are very hard to match, with extension. So sometime, I do recommend that you get the Brazilian keratin to kind of smooth the curls and relax them a little bit so that we can find hair to match the texture and also make it manageable for you, because, as you can see, your hair is out With the extension, so it's not like, oh so, and we where your hair is braided, and then it's only the extensions out with this. You have to find hair to actually match it. Your real hair, so that when it's out it's easy for you to take care of it. So if, when you shampoo your hair, your hair reverts back to its natural curl, 50 %. That will make it very hard to comb with the extension little straighter and you might lose some extension if your hair goes. If your hair curls back that much so Brazilian keratin treatment, it's a pretty good option for those who don't want to change the texture permanently because, as you know, with the Brazilian keratin after 3 months, your hair kind of go back to its full texture. So those who have the Brazilian keratin treatment are the only one who will have to continue using a salted free shampoo to keep the keratin in there for a while, but other than that. You'Ll continue to do everything that you will for your hair. Now. As far as curling your hair, you can curl your hair. You can flat on your hair, but you have to stay at least 1 inch away from the knot squad, because the thread is elastic if you put in the heat, if you put one night heat. But if you put the curling iron or the flat iron directly on the Brazilian knots, the thread will melt it will or it will weaken the thread and you had hair will start to shed. So, to avoid that, I recommend that you stay one inch away from the mall and curling off that iron. But after that you can do you know whatever it is that you want to do so. You think you can flat iron. If you like to do what side you can do, you can do a flat survive, you can do roller set or you can do two strands to its. However, you like to style your hair, you can do that. How often do you, everyone is different? Some people hair grows really fast, and some people hair take a little while to grow and there's also shampooing. When should you get it done alright? So if you shampoo your hair every day, it may not last as long as you wanted to so I would say two months if you shampoo your hair every day, the average person is about three months now you may have seen somewhere else that people leave it In for a six month, I don't recommend that you leave your extensions in your hair for six months. Any extensions should not be on your head for six months. Three months is the best four months you're pushing it five months, man that removal is going to be crucial. Now some people like to act if they can have them retighten Brazilian lots or not like I tips where you squeeze the beads and you can just slide the hair back up. It doesn't work that way. You have to take him out all the way come out. A little you know length or whatever that's stuck in there and then put them back in so I don't necessarily do retighten at the Brazilian nut. I just take another redoing, so if you have a full head - and you just want the top and redone you know so that it looks fresh again until you're ready to have the whole thing done over there. Yes, we can do that, but so two to three months is a safe and normal timeframe to have them remove and redone. That'S my recommendation. I don't suggest five month or 60 month to me: that's not healthy. You can do a break in between each style. Each application, you can do a one week grade to eighth grade and get them done over again, so it's something that she can use the two three all right, so we're coming to a close of this video or at least part one of it. So I'm going to post a second part later, if you have any question that you want me to answer that I did not get to or anything I'll. Let you know post a comment. You know the picture I mean below the video, I don't Instagram or Facebook, and I would answer those questions and the second part of the video. So I hope you enjoyed it and you're good to see the next step.
