Hey guys, it's me Tommy and I'm here to show you how to do your own sewing. It'S very simple, very easy to do, and I'm going to take my time to give you guys a very detailed process on how I create my own sewing. So, if you're interested definitely keep watching so first things, first, the tools that you're going to need is some thread. I have do two different types of thread: you're gon na need some scissors you're gon na need some needles a sewing needle. I definitely like to have more than one, and I also like to pre thread it. It makes the process go by really fast. Of course, you're gon na need a moisturizer and I'll, even so, I'm using just my hair. Oh I mix some cancer. Shea butter, you're gon na need some scrunchies, a comb, instant clamps and then here I'm gon na be using as from maven. This is their Brazilian curly and 14 inches I'll be using two and a half bundles. This here was previously installed onto a wig, but I took it off to do my sewing so first things, first you're gon na start off, and this is a necessity with clean, hair, freshly washed clean hair. That'S what you're gon na use! Well, that's what you need to have when you're doing your sewing, and I want my sewing to be a side part. So what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na part, my hair first, whether I want my side part to be, and then I'm going to put that into three sections. I'M gon na work in sections to do my braid pattern, so my first section is going to be where I'm going to start with, and that's going to be on my left-hand side and the first thing I do is I select how much I want my leave Out to be so after you decide how much you want to leave out to be you're going to detangle your leave out area and you're, going to twist it up or put it to the side so that it doesn't get in away with the rest of your Hair, so that's going to be the front area, I'm going to just twist it and just twisting it for me with this. Hairstyle just makes my hair blend a little bit better because I'm using kinky or curly hair. So I'm going to twist that away and then I'm gon na take some leave out for the front area and I'm gon na do the same thing. I'M gon na twist it and put it to the side and then I'm gon na start my braid pattern. So with that section going to moisturize my hair with my cam shea butter and also follow up with my hair oil and I'm going to braid my first anchor braid, which is going to be on the top section, I'm going to braid that going back and the Reason why I say is that anchor braid is this is where you want your last track to sit on. My second angle, braid, is going to go down to the side area and then I'm gon na follow up with my remaining braids going downwards towards my ear and then I'm going to connect that first braid with the second braid and then continue on breathing. So that's basically my braiding pattern for the front section. I'M going to do my anchor break going back and then I'm going to do some extra braids going down and I'm going to connect each braid. I repeated that step on the same side. On the other side. Sorry, on my right hand, side now, with the back section, I have to work in sections for the back section, because the back of my hair is a little bit thicker than the front, so I'm going to moisturize and condition and detangle really well, but also very Gently with my hair working in different sections and then again same way, I did the braid pattern in the front. I'M gon na do with the back I'm just gon na braid, my hair, just going back and I'm gon na connect, my brains, I'm not gon na, be using a weave net for this particular video, but I definitely will link you guys on you're gon na see A nice little card pop up on the side to show you guys how I created my solon on newly natural hair. When I freshly big chopped, I did use a net for that. So if you guys are newly natural, you have really short hair and you want to know how it will work with shorter hair. Definitely check out that video. Then I'm gon na oil, my scalp, but just note to people who are working with weaves that are not a curly texture, definitely do not use too much oil because you don't want your weak to be weighed down with oil, but if using a kinkier texture, you Can just use as much oil as you can, because it's not really gon na weigh the hair, your hair down at all. Hopefully that makes sense, so I'm just showing you guys my braiding pattern, it's very simple! In the back, when I connected my braids, I just tucked in the back and that's basically it so we're gon na go right into the showman section right now, um, which you know a lot of people have difficulty with, but definitely they just take your time again. I pre thread it in my needles because it just makes it easier and I like to just throw the hair I have around my shoulder because it just makes it a little bit better for me to actually just sew across my braids. So I personally like to start off with by my ear section: you can start off wherever you want to. If you want to start off by your nape, but what I do is I pull my thread through the thread. It sounds really weird, but just look at the way I'm doing it and the reason why I do that is because it just helps me um get a nice good, solid base when I'm starting off with my hair and then what I'm doing my next stitch. What I'll do is I'll just wrap the thread around the needle to create a knot. I always like to hold the track down when I'm sewing just so that it stays in place, and I know that it's positioned the right way. So when you're sewing your hair, just definitely just be. You know just take your time with it ticky time with the thread, especially because it will tangle up and just just basically have patience. So my first stitch is in through the weft, but the remaining stitches are around the weft, so the hair around the weft and not through the weft, because it helps minimize shedding and for me to lock my thread in what I do is I take my needle And I pull it through the thread and that helps lock the thread. You want to make sure that your thread is nice and locked so that, while you're styling and you're leaving your sewing for a long time to thread this and loosen or your tracks don't fall out. So basically, I'm doing is I'm just pulling the thread. My needle, through the thread so just try to listen to what I'm saying and also just watch what I'm doing so. Hopefully this makes sense. If you need to stop pause, slow it down, go back. Definitely do so. It'S definitely a learning process. So I'm going to continue to stitch around the weft on the perimeter of my head now when it comes to folding, this can be very tricky, but it's very easy to do what you do. Is you make the fold that you want make sure the fold is nice and flat and then take the rest of your track and throw it over your shoulder or around your head? Now keep one hand down on the flap and the other hand what you're gon na do is you're gon na do a nice clean stitch, you're just gon na go around the left and then pull your needle through the thread, and that's it you just lock it In place, if you want to wrap the thread around the needle, you can do that to lock it in place, but just keep repeating that stitch so that that fold is nice and flat. So that's exactly what I'm gon na do. I'M gon na make sure I keep my finger on the actual fold and I'm gon na wrap the thread and the needle around it so that that stitching is nice and tightly down, but not too tight, because you don't wan na give yourself a headache, but definitely Just make sure that it's nice and flat - and then you just continue to stitch around your head so just doing the fold helps prevent shedding ASBO and it helps you reuse the hair a little bit more because you're not cutting the tracks too much. So you can always reuse it, and this is just a second and look at how I did the fold again make sure to keep your finger where the fold is and then just keep tacking it down with your needle and thread until it's nice and flat, and Then you can move on to your next braid again, if you guys are having any troubles with what I'm trying to explain to you guys, you can always just stop. It pause and just rewind it again and just look at what I'm doing, because I'm trying not to do any fast-forwarding with this I'm trying to just show you guys the entire process, but not the entire process, because it took about two hours to do so. Another neat trick you can do when you're doing your hair. Let'S say you ran out of your track, but you still have a lot of your thread left. You just push your needle through your next track and then just pull it through and then just continue to sew. So that's what I'm doing here. I already finished my track. I'M starting a new track. Instead of me cutting the thread and looping all over again. I just pushed my needle through the weft of the new track, and then I started my new row and then just just tack. It down just make sure that when you're doing the ends that you're attacking it down really well, because definitely if you're wearing Yui for a month, two or three never exceed three months. You know it's gon na go through a lot of wear and tear with you. Styling it and washing it so just making sure that the ends of each weft is tacked out, helps with the longevity of your sewing. So now that I'm done, I realized that I didn't so open that anchor braid that I had up there in the front. So what I'm gon na do is I'm just going to sew, attract underneath that braid and then I track over that brain. So here I'm sewing the track underneath it now this is optional. This is only because I totally didn't realize that I wasn't sewing on this. Braid and I need to cover up that braid and that braids already tucked in so I can't pull it out as I leave out. So that's what I'm doing so. I just sewed underneath the braid and then on top of the braid to cover it and you're. Basically done so, this is what you're someone should look like. Just make sure your spacing is nice and correct. Those two pieces in the front will be my leave out and I'm just tightening it up in my bantu knot so that it doesn't fall out when I go to sleep and then what I'm going to do in order for me not in order for me, but When I go to sleep at night, what I'll use is my silk bonnet that I purchased from Walmart and I'm just gon na tuck, my hair and at night, and that's just how I sleep when I have like my curly, so it's in now the next morning. This is me trying to get ready for work. Please excuse my foundation. The ring light really makes my face looks so washed out, but in the morning what I will do is you'll just fluff your hair out now this is after I'm fresh sewing. So, as you can see, my leave out is still intact. What I'll do is I'll just take my leave out out and now it's time for me to blend my leave out with the hair now when you're working with the kinkier texture. Here, it's very easy to blend you're here with the kinky texture. What do you do? Is you take a piece of your hair and you're gon na wrap it around or you're gon na? Do a two strand twist with the actual weave, so I will take a piece of my hair take a piece of the curl and I will just twist each to each piece together so that it blends seamlessly this works really. Well, if you hear super short or if you hear is super long, then the blending won't be as bad, but with me my hair is in between and right now in Florida, the rain. It'S just really ridiculous. So with me blending my hair with the weave it just makes it look like a scene was finished, so that's all I'm doing is I'm taking a strand of my hair and taking a strand of that hair and I'm just twisting it together to help it blend. Now that I'm done blending my hair, these are the final results, always definitely check with your fingers to see if there's any tracks showing and if there is just try to move your hair around just to make sure that no tracks are showing. If you want, you could take a mirror to see the top of your head or ask a friend or spouse to take a look at it and then I'm just going to just pull out my curls. So it's a nice fluffier look and it looks more realistic when you pull the curls out as well. I don't really care too much for my edges, I'll, let them be nappy and kinky. I don't want it to be smooth down, because if this was my natural hair, my edges won't be smooth down now this is definitely this is definitely. This is another day that I did and I'm showing you guys. This is second day hair um. I did get caught in the rain, but, as you can see, my hair still blending and basically I don't have to worry about twisting and blending. All I do is just pull up my curls and I'm ready to go so this is like day two here that I'm showing you guys all you're doing is basically just pulling out the curls, and then this is how my hair looked at the end of that Day again, I'm just showing you how the blending is still intact and if any curl comes out, you can easily just tuck it in or wrap it around.
