Easy: How To Do Your Own Weave With Leave Out Updated 2021

Hello, everyone and welcome back to my channel. If you do not know me already hi, my name is florence: i am a qualified hair stylist and today i'm going to be showing you guys how i achieved this look so today i done this weave install. I done it in under two hours and i thought what better way to kickstart back my hair tutorials on this channel and showing you how i install my go-to look, which is this weave. So if you know me already, then you know that i love having a weave with a leave out, so i thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to show you guys how i do my weaves myself, i'm not going to lie to you guys, though i Don'T usually do my weaves myself, however, i've been unwell and i just haven't been able to book a hair appointment. I needed someone who could come to my house to do my hair and nobody was available, so i just thought: do it myself? So i'm super excited about this video today, because this is the first time i will be talking to you guys about my new business venture of my online shop. So in this video today, i'm going to be showing you my two inch silk iron. So if you didn't know already, i've got my own online store. Where i sell straighteners, i have a 0.5 inch, a 1 inch and a 2 inch straightener, so the straightener i'm going to be showing you guys today is my 2 inch silk iron straightener. So a little bit about the straighteners, now the great thing about these straighteners and what makes them different from others on the market is, i wanted to come out with a straightener that was lightweight and also left your hair with minimal heat damage. Now, if you've used my straighteners before you will know that this is true, because they do not clamp, really tight onto the hair, they're, very, very lightweight and the way that they straighten your hair. They do not apply too much pressure to snag and pull your hair. So that's why these straighteners are excellent for people with textured hair. Now i'm not going to speak too much about the straighteners, but if you want to find out more about them, then i will link my website in the description box below and you can go ahead and click on that and find out more about the straighteners. In your own time now, without further ado, we're going to get straight into this hair tutorial. So to begin you will need some expressions. You will need some weaving thread, you will need needles and you will need a tail comb. There are a few bits that i do use outside of this, like sectioning clips and some hair products. I will show you those as i'm going along, so i have already pre-sectioned my hair off camera and this is how i've sectioned it for my weave, with the leave out, i'm gon na start, beginning to braid the back of my hair. I'M going to show you guys how i actually braid my braid patterns for my weaves every single week that i have done is usually braided this way. Even if someone else does it um, i'm just speeding up this part and then i'll show you more in detail. What i do with the extensions, so these are the size braids that i like to have at the front of my head. I like to have two small ones, and then, after that, it doesn't matter how big the braids are. It could be a bit bigger or it could be a little bit smaller. So to begin my braids i always cross over my extensions, then i take a small piece at the top and then i just begin braiding. This isn't a braiding tutorial, i'm literally just showing you how i install my own weave if you'd like to see a braiding tutorial, though please comment that in the comment section below and i will make it happen so after i finished each cornrow braid, i braid down To the bottom, and then i bring that braid up as i'm camering the next braid, and i loop that in just so that i have a little bit more of a flatter braid pattern at the back. This is quite simple loads of people. Do it. I just like to do it so that it's actually less work in the long run, because then, in the end, you don't have to focus on trying to find places to hide all of the braided ends that are at the bottom. So, as you can see, i've moved on to sewing down my neck. The reason why i like to have a net underneath my weave is because it literally preserves the hairstyle for longer. I normally keep my weaves only in for about three to four weeks, but if you like to surprise, surpass that then i'll definitely recommend a weaving net, because that just keeps all of your braids from matting with the threads and the wefts. So now we begin to sew the hair. So when sewing my weaves, i like to leave about a centimeter gap between them and then loop it around and make sure i untie a knot each time i am sewing, i'm not sure if you can see it too. Well in this video, but that's usually what i do. I hope you guys can sort of make some sort of understanding from how i've explained it so guys. Please don't come for me in the comment section below, because obviously i am a hair stylist, but this isn't. What i would do to a client, i'm giving you little tips and tricks on how to do a weave on yourself, but this is not the same rules that i would apply for clients. Obviously, there are little tips and tricks like what i'm about to show you, but when i'm doing a client, the braid pattern is very, very neat and all of the stitching is very very neat. Obviously this is me just doing a tutorial just for fun. I'M just saying so: here's a quick tip that i would like to show you guys i like to cut my wefts and i like to cut them a little bit staggered. So i cut the weft behind, as you can see a little bit underneath and a little bit behind, and then i cut the top one a little bit in front so that when you sew it down, it is nice and flat so that when you put your Hair into a ponytail, it's not too bulky, and i do that every time on the sides - and this is something i actually do on my clients as well. That'S what creates the nice flat effect now i have finished stitching, i'm going to put my parting in now. I found it so difficult trying to film this middle part, but yeah i put in my middle part. I got there in the end and then i just combed everything to cover all of my tracks and luckily for me, i had left out just enough hair. Now i'm going to take my trusty parlox blow dryer to blow dry, my hair, so i didn't blow dry. My hair super super straight because, to be honest guys i was getting a little bit tired um, so i blow dried it like halfway as flat as i could and now for my favorite part of the video i'm going to be using my two-inch flat irons. So, let's get a little bit of information about my silk iron titanium two inch straighteners. So this two inch silk iron is designed for natural hair styling, with titanium plates infused with keratin micro conditioners to seal cuticles, whilst heat styling. Doesn'T that sound great, this product is for you if you have long hair and you want a lightweight flat iron straightener to use. I think that this product is obviously one of the best on the market, because obviously i'm going to be biased because it is mine, but i really really love this tool because it's just so easy. My two inch silk irons are actually my favorite to use on myself. I don't actually use them much on clients, because i normally do a lot more pixie cuts and stuff, but if you're someone who has like weaves or wigs and you like to style your own hair, i would definitely say that this silk iron is for you. So, as you just saw, i just done one pass on the back and it was silky silky straight. It'S so strange when you finally have your own product. You find yourself starting to pitch your idea every single day. I want everyone to have their own product because you just get so excited talking about it um, but this is my product and i'm just so. Super super super excited about it. If you want to find out anything else about my flat, irons, then feel free to go ahead and look at my online shop, which is at www dot, naturally immaculate dot, co, dot uk anyway, back to the tutorial, so you may be looking at me like sis - Is that how your straighteners work, but actually what actually happened was i started straightening the back of my head and then i realized to myself. Actually i'm not going to wear it straight, i'm actually going to wear it curly. So i thought to myself: instead of straightening it and then curling it. Let me just curl it. So what i did do was. I went over it roughly at the top of the straighteners and then i just started cutting it. So i'm just putting a little bit of layers, not nothing too special and that's it now, i'm taking my all-time fave nikki clark, serum i'm putting that throughout my hair. This serum is very good for your hair and your weave because it's super super lightweight. So now i'm just going to keep quiet and let you guys sit back and relax and watch me curl. My hair. Do oh, yes, and now we're finished but hold on a minute. We need to lay those edges. So now i'm going to take my favorite product of all time, gummy wax to lay my edges. So the key here is not to use a slick brush. It is to use a tail comb and boom bam slick, and it's laid now. Let'S bring the music back from the top. Thank you guys for watching this video.
