Two Feed-In Braids - Fail! The Curly Closet

Hello Kelly creates Mary and welcome back to the Kylie closet. So, as you can see, this was my first ever braids video in this video, I'm going to be showing you my first ever feeding braids on my very thick luscious pregnant hair. So I use this extra foam. Hold perfect edges edge control from Queen of nature. It started to go wrong here. I don't know why I had the food spray, but I thought they would help to set my hair. I was wrong. Um I've used the same. Smart braid hair that I used in the first time my braids video. I was just looking in the camera here like wow. My hair is really it's really going, so I have divided my hair into two. You can see that I have separated out some strands of hair. I have, I think, about 10. In total light is eight, but the the end strands are actually a bit thicker than the earlier one. So the ones on the left are a little bit thinner. One reflection, I should have probably made them all the same size uh, but you're gon na see later on the effect that it's had on my hair. It turned out okay, but it could have been better. So I'm starting off by adding edge control to my edges. You'Re going to see a bit of dry scalp, but don't worry I'm going to sort out a bit later, but anyway, before you start doing the kind of breathing motion, it's a good idea to just do your edges a bit. It just makes things a bit smoother. Even if you have to go back in and redo it at the end, but it just helps to lay everything down the way you want to and then I'm adding some more edge control to this Center parting. I just want everything to be as smooth as possible. So this is going to be attempt number one. So it's two feeding Brains, it's not meant to be complicated and when you watch YouTube videos it don't seem that bad, but trust and believe when you try to do this on yourself, it's a whole different, color fish. So I'm starting with the right hand, side and I've taken one piece of hair to feed in now, there's a particular technique to how you feed in the hair. I'Ve found two different ones on different YouTube videos, but I just decided to just try this particular one. I thought it'd be a bit easier, you kind of hook the hair under one finger and then you keep going and then, when you come back around to the right hand, side you tuck the other piece under like I tried it and it worked okay and I Thought: okay, cool! This is this is working okay. This is looking kind of smooth we're going. Okay, let's pop in another one but yeah for this attempt. This is where they started to go wrong. So I I like try to hook this one under my finger. Put my you know just carried on braiding like camera, and everything was nice, but then, when I started to pull my hand through yeah, it was a fail. It just pulled all the hair through and it just wasn't working attempt number two now I was just struggling here like okay. Maybe I should feed in this hair like over the top of my hand, just I just felt like it might be a bit more comfortable. I went back and tried it again and then I just got. I just got confused at this point. I was like wait hold on okay. Let me try to try this again over the hand um hook it under uh, yeah, okay, so attempt number three. I'M doing my cane roll cornrow going down everything's going nicely so far we're going okay. So again we come to the bit where we need to start feeding in some hair. So I've got another piece of hair again and yeah just trying to find the right moment to kind of hook it under your hand, without kind of mixing it into your hair in the wrong moment. It'S it's a challenge, and I really wanted to do this. Video because the thing is as YouTubers, we always show you like the successful attempts at stuff. We don't often show you when it goes wrong, so I just thought that this would be a fun video. I hope you like it too so yeah thumbs up. If you enjoy seeing YouTubers getting things wrong but yeah, as you can see for this attempt, I did start again, but I didn't completely give up, because I was like okay. Look, I'm doing okay, I just need to straighten out the hair so yeah. I kind of started again, but it wasn't a give up on my attempt and, as you can see, I got there like. I started you know getting it to work through my hair, but then at this point yeah I just counted that as I fail because it just it just it looks fine on camera, but when I looked at it in the mirror, it just didn't look the way. I wanted it to look so here we go with attempt number four now this is all very sped up, because the truth is. I try to take my time with all of these attempts, because there's no point trying to rush this. This is one of those stars that you can rush if you know what you're doing, but since this was my first ever attempt at Freedom braids, I just thought you know what let me just take my time, but obviously, for the purposes of the video I had This speed up a bit that was a fail, and the reason that was a fail was because, like my hair and the braids of hair just got all mixed up together, it literally got tangled so attempt number five. I'Ve got a piece of braiding hair that I've like gotten yeah yeah. It'S been fed in at one point here and we're just trying to carry on and tuck it under. This is going okay on with the Kane ruin, I'm just trying to fix my hair at the front, so I'm a bit slow like they're kind of sticking up a bit, but it's okay, like I'm taking my time but we're getting there. Okay, so piece of feeding, hair number, two um and just trying to make sure that it's kind of like flat enough from the front and also from the center of my head, the thing about this style is sometimes the simplest stars are actually the most complicated. The reason being is because it's so simple, any mistakes are very, very easy to spot for the most part, so yeah anyway, you can see here I've gotten a bit further than with the others. I have gotten to the third piece of feeding hair and I feel like I've gotten a bit more of the hang of it. Now it's getting a bit more challenging because yeah it's getting to the real thickest part of my hair. But you know what it's okay, because we're getting there and I've gotten the hang of it so again, feed in a piece of braided, hair number, four, essentially from hair. I said I counted this as a type of success. This was successful, even though I had to kind of go back a bit and like undo this and then like redo the braid, because, like something was sticking out that shouldn't have been. But again I didn't like, take the whole thing out and start again. I just took it back a bit put the braids in here and again and yeah. I carry that as a success, I'm going to show you how the end of the braid looks with the second braid. So here we are, on the second side, again edge control to the center and to the front of my hair, just moving everything down, because you know, if you Prep properly, then it should help the style to look better when you actually do your cane row cornrow By the way, guys um, my family is Jamaican, so we say canro, I know in America you guys say cornrow by anyway. Just so just so you know, if you hear Canary, that's that's the reason why it's a Jamaican tea. So I here I have cane road down and I would say five or six turns of my hands and then here I am beginning to feed in hair again, so you can see here I have done the first feeding, braid and sorry. The first feed-in strand of braiding hair and from here it kind of went very, very smoothly. I think the the first side my right hand, side was just like the practice side, but I feel like once I kind of got it done well on that side, then my left hand side was just a lot easier to do. Um. Of course, I still had to take my time with it. It was still a bit of a challenge in some places. Um. The main thing was a just making sure that I fed in the hair, properly um and B, just making sure that when I actually, when I fed in the braiding hair that I didn't pull it through in the wrong direction, yeah, it's just again, you think it's Simple, but between your hair and the braided hair, it's it's a lot. It'S really a lot. This second side actually ended up being a lot smoother than the first side. Even though you can see that I've got like a bit of a bump in my hair at the top. But that's fine because I'm going to sort that out a bit later on and I'm going to show you what I did to fix that it's very simple. So, as you can see, I'm continuing to feed in hair towards um going down to the nape of my neck um. This was had a slightly different challenge in that I couldn't fully see what was going on at the back like. I have a mirror, of course, but it's not that easy to do the back, so you just have to kind of feel your way through, but it wasn't too bad, and I was pretty happy at this point because my cane really looked like yeah. I was having a successful time on this side. I think one of my mistakes for this style was that I didn't continue to add braiding hair here, which is what I think I should have done because, as it goes down to the end, you're going to see like the braids start to look a bit thin. It doesn't look bad overall, but it's starting to look thinner than the the rest of my hair. So it's like it goes from thick to quite thin to me a little bit too quickly, but that's okay like as a first attempt. It wasn't too bad. So to fix that bump in my hair, I've taken some edge control. I'Ve smoothed it over that area and then I just take a hairpin and I pin it right next to the cane root. So you can't see the pin. What you can see is like the Smooth hair on top. That'S literally, all I've done to fix that and then I've added a bit more edge control just to fix the front hairline of my hair. Now this I did what was I thinking? What was I really thinking? I was thinking that I didn't have like set in foam, but I did have yeah. I did have some of this free spray, so I thought. Okay, let me just try this, but this ended up being a fail because yeah, it left a ton of white residue on my hair um. I went back and added some more edge control to kind of smooth out the white pieces and then reset it and it took out like some of the white, but it really didn't take it all out. I was very happy with the way that the actual cane Rose turned out. They turned out great and I was really happy with the length. I just think that the braids could have definitely been more evened out. I think that they could have been thicker coming down towards the end and going into thin a little bit more gradually. But that's okay! That'S what happens when you have a first attempt at Style, I'm just showing you from the side and the back with, of course, baby Zach we're still growing at that point. This is the white residue. It wasn't cute. I got compliments on this style, but I was not happy with this. Why I messaged you at all and that aspect was definitely a fail, but anyway, this is a style. I hope you enjoyed this video um if you have ever struggled with a protective Style.
