Um yeah yeah, you know I was coming with the heat you knew. I was coming with the heat. Prepare yourselves act accordingly, I'm back Biggie Biggie back Biggie Biggie, no, like I'm. Actually, I believe I did get this video like y'all will, like part two just as much as you like part one. I bet you and if I win you got to subscribe, you have the subject and you have to like this and you have to share it with your homies. I I don't know this might be the one. If you are new here, make sure you check out part one, but if you aren't, I hope you love this video just as much as you love the last one, so yeah, let's get started okay purse, so the tea on this hair right, my mom did it. First of all, my mom did it and um. When I bought the hair. I bought the front part of this. It was a 27 613 blend that I bought from. I think her name is Princess Diaries on here. She does like her thing is like she Blended, braiding hair, so I bought it from her because I didn't have time to do it myself this time and then the bottom part. I got off Amazon, which was a 13 mix with 30, but it was easy to pull the 613 apart and just my mom just fed it into the rest of the braiding hair to have the French curl at the bottom. And then the rest of the hair is a 30 which is like a brownish ginger-ish color very pretty, and I didn't really need to use braiding hair. My mom just ended up using the French curl and braided it all the way down. It was just easier that way and the French curl was long enough, but yeah I didn't curl the hair myself. It came that way. The trend and like the style of this hair is French curl. Just so you guys are informed so yeah, let's get started. So I know you have seen at this style: it's pretty common, but you're just going to take two sections of the front tie it in the back, wrap it around with your hair is a little bit longer and then just add a banana clip. The girls are calling it a clock, clip but a banana clip, and then you just add two little pieces in the front and yeah real cute row. This style also was heavy on Tech, talk and Pinterest, which is just the claw clip, but with all of the braids in the back so you're just going to take a scrunchie, a solid scrunchie tube, get it into a ponytail, take a little piece and wrap the Scrunchie, so it's hidden and then you're just gon na twist, like Barrel twist your hair up into the back and get a pretty big banana clip and just put it in the front. My Curls were a little too long, so I just crisscrossed them and then just take some bobby pins and secure the curls down so that it stays and it was real cute. Look at that girls skipping is giving I'm giving them. Let'S just say, I'm getting them. Giving them pepper I'm giving them booze, I'm giving bro lucks like I'm, giving real who's that I'm not a girl. It'S a tomboy by the way attacked it. It'S already linked. It'S been linked, you're! Welcome for this style. You can take a side tube and then just take some hair and rubber band it in the back of your head, so it stays pretty tight because his hair is going to be down then to create the little hearts you're going to take um a black. You know rubber band and then pinch the hair in the middle and then rubber band that and then you're gon na do the same thing to the other side. You can use as many braids as you would like, but I just did one um just to create like just a cutesy little. You know not too much, not too crazy. I feel like this is really cute. It'S not maybe not giving my age, but maybe if there was a theme for like a party I was going to Disneyland or for the baby girls like if y'all have kids or Valentine's Day, yeah, maybe Valentine's Day like somewhere, where I want to be fun. You know so I'm bringing back another 90s hairstyle. I just sectioned off, like half of my head from ear to ear, and then I parted the half in the front into six sections, and then I went ahead and just braided. The hair, like I braided the braids yeah and I just use the rubber band to secure it at the end, so that the braid could stay, and then I just went ahead and did that to all six um parts so that it created this like this look. Is just so fire you can also take the same style and just create like a half up half down moment or even a like high pony. If you wanted to, but very simple straightforward the girlies who cannot braid, I I got y'all, okay, so you're, basically gon na. Do the rubber band method that you see like on wigs and weave and stuff. You take like two little braids rubber Bandit connect. It back connect it back, connect it back into you can't anymore, so yeah. So this is for the girlies who cannot braid, you can do the rubber band rubber bands and then this kind of gave me like an era. You remember when Cassie shaved, her head like the side of her head and that's what all the girls are walking like. It'S given that, but with braids for this style, you're, basically going to section off the middle of your hair and then from that create three horizontal parts from that section that you just carved off and then the same type of rubber band method. You'Re applying to like a bigger section and creating this high ponytail type, Vibe use a scrunchie, and then you can make the ponytail kind of sit Higher by adding two scrunchies and then using a piece of a braid to like wrap it around and hide the scrunchies. But it kind of gives me like coming to America Vibes. You know this style is very elegant. It may look complicated, but it's honestly, very simple: you're, just gon na put your hair into a high pony section it off into two and then section off the two into four and you're, going to basically twist the hair like until it snakes around itself and use Bobby pins and these black rubber bands to or rubber whatever they're called you're going to use them to basically keep them in place on the at the top of your head. It looks complicated and it may take a little bit longer like. I think it took me about 20 around 20 minutes to complete, and it was me trying it for the first time. But it's honestly not that complicated. You just are taking pieces and twisting them around like twisting it around itself and then placing it into a bun. On your head, I think this is really elegant and pretty for, like a wedding or something that is just a little bit more upscale. I feel, like it kind of gives, that Vibe but feel free to play around with it. However, you would like, I think this was the easiest way for me to Showcase it to y'all so yeah enjoy. I need some love I feel like if I left it like this, it would give Bridgerton Vibes like giving elevated buns for this style. I saw actually a picture of Meg with it and I was like oh yeah. I need to try that so I basically just took some of the pieces out and I made them into like a circular type of front facing donut bun type thing in the front. I just did three of them so that it created that, like it was all around my head and then I just pulled out the ends of the hair. Like the French curls, I pulled those pieces out just to make it a little bit more feminine cute. You know, and I think it really - it really did its job. Not gon na lie. Babes it's giving Rich Auntie. How did the UK girls say it? I don't know um yeah yeah. You know I was coming with the heat you knew. I was coming with the heat. Prepare yourselves act accordingly, so for this style we're basically creating two low buns, real cute and simple right, but instead of them just being regular, buns they're going to be top-not buns. So you want to try and get it as tight. As possible and wrapping it around itself and then around the base of the ponytail holder and what you do to one side. Obviously you do to the other side but remember to have like some pieces out in the front so that you can create. Like a bang moment, whether it's two in the front or one to the side - and this is real cute low effort - but it's doing a lot for me. So this style is for all the corporate baddies, you're, basically going to do like a donut bun, but leaving the French curls are going to be doing a lot of the work here, just by adding a little flare to the bun. You know what I'm saying a little yeah real, simple, real, easy. This style is for the clean girl, aesthetic babes, that the Klinger, aesthetic, okay, so y'all, just take it into a like mid Pony. Take some. You know little braids out in the front to frame your face and then you just do the same type of BUN and let the French call work for you. I'Ve been seeing this style a lot on Pinterest, of course, on wigs and weaves and stuff. But it's basically a braided ponytail, but instead of one braid, it's two braids and I feel like this - could be cute on either a high pony, a mid pony or a low Pony. Just depending on the length of your braids. It would have been more fire if my braids were longer, but this is still really cute. This sounds like a wrapped ponytail, but you have to treat it like you're wrapping faux Locs. So, like you know, when you wrap a little bit and then you pull it up so that it can be as taut as possible and the braids don't slide down. That was my mistake. I didn't do that, but I'm letting y'all know now, so you basically are just wrapping the braids around itself so that it creates this like a different visual of a ponytail. I'Ve seen it done on like wigs and leaves and stuff but yeah so you're, basically gon na use, like ponytail holders and rubber bands to secure the base at the bottom, but again make sure that the braids are not sliding down so make sure you're wrapping it Up and pushing up, I am ready, I'm basically going to create bangs here by using the method that people with locks do when they take the hair at the bottom. They fold it and then use that rest of the hair to wrap back up just to secure it and make like you know the hair, a different type of length, yeah, the rubber band, obviously because of the color and on more textured hair. Because, obviously this is more silky, so it's harder for me to just wrap it around itself. It won't stay mess with me for a second mess with me for one minuto. Do you see it gives, even if it isn't 10 out of 10 on me, it's going to be 10 out of 10 on somebody who's watching this okay period, a brief intermission, but the banging is still here. Okay, like I said it, may not be a 10 out of 10 on me, but it could be a 10 out of 10 on somebody watching. So I'm giving you the vision. Okay for this style, you do not have to do a barrel twist in the back. If you don't want to, but it's an option just to add a little flare to the style, we're just going to take the same bangs you know and then just make a bun out of it bun again, but instead of pulling the ponytail all the way over You'Re gon na stop halfway and then bring the rest of the curls over top of that ponytail, if that makes sense and then use as many bobby pins as you want to secure the back and then just use the curls to frame your face. This is one of the first Styles I did when I got my braids done and it's the same concept like not pulling the ponytail out all the way and you're going to fold over the hair and just use bobby pins to create like this Dolly Parton. Look with the curls on top and it just creating this messy bun. Look with a side. Um bang thing: it's uh! I love it. It'S like a messy but elegant bun, so we're doing a top knot, bun with braids you're, going to try and you know Barrel twist the hair as tightly as possible. I did it in two because you know braids are kind of bulky, but um. I created one with a base at the bottom first and then I use a scrunchie to secure that as best as possible. You want to make sure that you keep the twist twisting as much as possible if that makes sense, so that it doesn't become bulky and then once you secure that bottom base you're going to use the rest of the hair. That was in the other section and create the same type of barrel twist to create that top knot, type thing, and when you use scrunchies to secure it, you can use one or you can use two just create that tension, and it really does secure it like It was good, I really wanted to execute this style properly, but I know that somebody will do it. Justice, I'm basically doing a Bobby flip ponytail, but you're gon na need big flexi rods. In order to execute this and like actually dip the hair which I didn't do, but I'm gon na try and steam it. It'S exposed, I'm gon na put a towel. I'M scared tired I've been at this since 8. 30 P.M. It'S currently 6 00 A.M. So, if you appreciate my effort, please subscribe you'll live it here everywhere: you'll love, it everywhere, Instagram Tick, Tock, Pinterest, I'm active over there anyway, ciao yeah. She would want this part more straight, but I don't wan na. I don't want to do too much to my French curls, but it might not be a 10 out of 10 on me, but it'll be a 10 on. You know what I'm saying. You know how to dip the hair, though I would suggest I would highly suggest you dip the hair, especially if you already have straight ends, and this is also a pretty straightforward style. I just did like six chunky braids and I rubber banded the braid at the bottom, to secure it, and I think it's really cute, especially if you have like the type of ends that you have for the curls. I feel like you can do like a. What is it called a perm rod or a flexi rod at the bottom and re-dip the hair, so that the curl is sitting a specific type of way, and it just looks like uh talk about it. I don't know y'all hard: let's come back harder, so if you're loving these type of videos, you know you might as well just subscribe like this video yeah. Okay. Thank you.
