Hi, my name is fashion today, we're at Soler, salon studios and I'm going to show you how to do a braid down for a so in that you can put up into a ponytail and wear down as well. Versatile is always the key when doing and having an amazing so and so let's get started so now that we have a braid completed on this side of the head, we're going to repeat this same braid on the other side of our head, so we're going to Clip this middle part up and move to the other side, so we're going to repeat the braid that we did on that other side of her head on her second side. So we're just going to bring it down like this. Once you get to the end of your braid, you don't have to braid it all the way down to the end, because this braid right here is going to be mixed in with the circle braid that you do in the middle and you'll see what I mean By not having to braid these two particular braids all the way to the end, it's not really necessary. Okay. So now we have two braids one on this side, one on this side, and they both are the same. So now that we have two identical braids on either side of our head, we're going to go ahead and start the middle braid. The middle braid is going to be braided in a circle and then we're going to pull these two side braids in side the circle. So it could be a nice smooth transition, all the way around your head, so soon you're going to see what I'm talking about we're going to go ahead and start braiding in the middle. So really what you're going to do is you're going to carve out this little one part in a circle all the way around - and this is a probably will be the last time that I have to part her off with my comb, because once you get that One circle braid done in the middle and incorporate the two side braids in you, can really just go ahead and start braiding in a circle without having to part. So what I usually do is use a little pomade on the back of my hand. So while I'm braiding I'll touch on the pomade, and it's going to help me grip, her hair really good, she has beautiful hair and we want the braid to be really secure, but not too tight too much tension on a weave is never good. So don't braid the clients hair so tight that they are hurting. You just want her to be comfortable while you're, braiding, okay, so just a little pomade on my fingers. While I braid, let's get started so what I'm doing is just going along braiding and in a second I'm going to show you how to incorporate that side braid. So we can get that end in. So this is where you incorporate your side braid into the braid that you're braiding, all you do is take it, pull it inside. Just like that and keep continuing on your brain. Now, I'm coming around to the other side or my other side. Braid is so you're going to just continue on in a circle and, as you go along you're just going to pick up a little bit of hair as you go along and at the end of this you're going to have a nice circle, keeping the braids a Medium to small size, you don't want your braids to be too large, because then that's how your install gets too lumpy. You see how I'm rounding that corner now, I'm just basically following the braid I have in previous now here this hair right here is the end of this braid. So I'm just going to incorporate that in while I'm braiding and now you understand why I was saying there was no need to braid that one particular braid all the way to the end, because you're just going to blend it right in with your braid. So now we come along the other side or the other hair from the other. Braid is, and I'm going to just keep on continuing to braid and picking up the end of the other braid that we pulled in and just continue to braid it up. Once again. This is the braid down pattern, so you can pull your install of your weft hair after you sew it in up into a really high, bun or ponytail, or you can wear it down with long curls, see how I'm following my guide around writing songs, hair, like This in this particular pattern will probably take about 20 minutes at the most, maybe 30 minutes now, if you're watching this but you're going to get it install and you just really want to you - know: buy the hair from fab hair calm and take it to your Stylist for them to install it at least you'll know, what's what to expect once you get there as far as how they're going to sew in your install what kind of braid pattern to expect to get or what kind of braid pattern to ask for, and if You'Re, a stylist watching this video, then at least you'll pick up, hopefully some tips and tricks. As far as what braid down method to use you'd be surprised about how many people don't know the braid down pattern to use, so the person can pull their hair up into a high ponytail, which is very desirable right now. So once again, just keep following your braid pattern right around into a circle, keeping my braids the same size, the entire time you're just going to gather up the hair. It kind of looks like I'm partying. It kind of looks like it's been parted with a comb, but it's not just gathering it up and if you do need to part with a comb - and you know section, hair up and clip hair up to make it easier. That'S fine, there's nothing wrong with that, but the more you do it you'll be doing it like this too. In no time just continue to practice, keep watching the video. So in about 3, more minutes I will be done with this braid down you're, going to know exactly how it should look and then you can go ahead and switch to the other video to figure out how to put it in that's where the fun begins. So you see, we have our pattern getting pretty cool-looking and we're almost finished with it one more little time around and we'll be done, and then we'll show you how to tuck that end in it goal is going to be our last one. Now this one, you do want to braid all the way down to the end, because you don't want any of her loose hair to be out. You don't want any of her loose hair to be out, while you are sewing her and sew up the weft hair on so go all the way down to the end. So what you're going to do is take the braid that you've done and tuck it in between the braids that are already there right inside one of those parts just like that. Okay, just like that and then you're going to take a needle and thread. It'S going to look like this, a nice curved needle with some thread and sew that braid down so while she's wearing her install the end of the braid does not poke up or come out in any way. Just like that. Now our brightest nicely and nicely secured nicely tacked down, I'm going to tie it at the end, so it doesn't come undone you're going to take your scissors you're going to snip the string and then you're done, and that is going to be your perimeter braid. When you want to do a sew in you'll, be able to pull it up into a ponytail, nice and neat, so hopefully you enjoyed watching this video and make sure you click onto the next video to learn how to install your fab hair. So now you have it. This is how you do the braid down pattern for install where you're going to be able to put it up into a ponytail. Let it down when you want to. You can pull it up real high tide, it a little knot and have a lot of different ways to wear your install. So hopefully you got it down right.

N S: Did you people ever think that maybe she's getting a weave because she doesn't want to or have time to deal with her real hair? Extensions are just easier to deal with, even though she's leaving a lot of hair out. Or maybe she just wants longer hair for the moment. Does it matter? Jeez.

Having Tea With the Devil: I wish you could do my sew in. You know what the hell your doing. The shop I went to,Ugh, I don't know what they were smoking. First off I bought 2 packs of hair, they only used 1...I never saw that second pack again. They ran off into the back of the salon with my second pack of hair. Even though they suggested 2 packs.secondly the braids were insanely thick and some were thin. Then they had everything pined down weird..my mother had a hell of a time taking my hair down because of the way they sewed it in. And my weave only stayed in one place. It was not moveable (like your doing) and I was disappointed. :(

DarlingNikki2: Exactly! I have wanted to get a weave for years, but whenever I mention it to so-called hairstylists they all look at me like I’m crazy because my own hair is down the middle of my back and in good shape. I can’t seem to get anyone to understand that I want to do different things such as coloring, cutting, etc. but not on my own hair. I want to give my hair a rest for a while, but have yet to be able to find someone willing to help…

Cocoluv2004: I want to order this hair from fab hair, but I have natural curly hair, do you think it's better to get the curlier texture or the same texture you used on your model, my texture is a 3c- 4a mix, I live in vancouver canada, how fast do you ship

Alshaulyn Sanders: when i sew in weave am i supposed to go through the track of the weave or under the track of the wave
Lelethu Dywili: wow..I love it.. thanx for the video.. the braiding looks simple. will try it over the weekend. I will come back and tell u the results :) Wish me luck
Ms Black: add hair to it.. like the ones that you use to do twists and braids
Uniquejazzlover: She doesn't need weave!! She has beautiful hair
Waabo Molapisi Anwar: well maybe she wants a different colour of hair without damaging her natural hair.
Arnella Flowers: her hair is nice and healthy!!!
Whitney Thurman: actually I think it is protective because youre not damaging your hair with heat from curling irons. A lot of people think that braids break the hair because theres so much fallout when your comb your hair but in actuality your hair sheds so much a day. So when you comb your hair after its been braided youre just combing out the fallout hairs. Its not all bad...sometimes lol
LynnLifted: I was wondering what happens to use fashion!
Saloni Singh: her name is fashion like she was born for this shit like she owns the whole game man
Abaybii: The model has very pretty hair!
Honey Lace Wigs: Her Hair is long and looks quite Healthy. What type of tips or videos do you have for the clients that come in with shorter damaged hair who want a sew in and want to pull it up in a ponytail ?
Ralph Laren: She has such nice hair thoughhh
Ashley Marshall: She was on tv. She was on jerseylicious. I remember herrrrr
AKIYIAKELLY: great video...
Mrs. Sista': Fashion is probably too busy to answer this so I would appreciate if someone could. While I am a pretty smart female...I have analyzed this over and over. The first two braids are NOT...'leave outs'right?. Why then--didn't she just braid one braid, in one continuous circle and sew the end down in the middle. You know...instead of doing to seperate braids only to 'connect' them?? When I envision it in my mind it would work without doing to separate braids. However, since she is the professional -- I know there has to be reason...but for the life of me...it is escaping me.
Winking Monster: Holy crap she comes on Jerseylicious
Urban Vixion: Its great
miyaah95: If i had hair like that girl id never buy weave again .-.
prettyfacebundles: Good Braid down pattern for a high ponytail..
Uniquely Twisted By Tisha: Her hair is gorgeous!!she doesn't need a sew in!!
Essence Hurst: Way Longer Then Glue Thats For Sure
claleigh anderson: If I were to ask to get my hair braided like this what would I say...? Like is there a certain term for it?
GlamCam84: Her hair so pretty no need for weave
Waabo Molapisi Anwar: This child has beautiful long thick hair with so much volume and she's sewing in a weave?? i don't get it.
Haylz: Is this hairdresser the one who was on Jerseylicious showing Tracy how to do a weave?
Gi Sheree: if i had that girls length of hair i wouldnt even be getting a sew in in the first place!
tameka tamara: Chat girl didn't need no weave I love her hair
Ashley Thompson: Nice. I'm not the type of girl who wears weaves but I want to switch it up. I've purchased this type of hair but I want somebody who is very experienced to install it for me. I know she is a very busy women but does she have a salon somewhere in NY? I would love for her @Fabhair to do this for me.
mrz. Rasia Baby: I would love to be able to put it in a pony tale but would it be a problem because the top of my hair is short?
tangila lee: the models hair is the shizzz beaqutiful!!!!!!!!!!
Shauna La’kala: I have hair just like her, and whenever i go into a shop they say they cant do it because its "too thick" what? it's stupid, but i love your work!
Laced By Swagg: Versatility, a different look, less manipulation on her hair, less maintenance, hair growth, quicker styling in the mornings, more length. Many more reasons too I could name. Weaves aren't just for woman with short or damaged hair, It's all about options and choices.
Luke Mc Evoy: OMFG u sound soooo much like JLO
AlexonChains: Can you do this with shoulder length hair?
T. G.: Weaves are easier to manage and okay to damage, that's y i get a weave even tho i have nice hair.
kristn mckenna: she has nice natural hair what extension for???
muntu: How many bundles did you use ?
prettypearls26: Thank u
ATH: stop patting her head like she's just a doll lol
JAZZE JAZZE: Why would someone name their child fashion
Ifedayo Dada: Thanks! wld try it out....
Me 23: She could be like, a model or something and she just doesn't want her hair to get damaged from constant styling. I'm in the military so to protect my hair I get braid extensions but I want to try weave next.
Sincerely, Jaijharnae Rose: She does sound like JLo i agree
1lovenicole: How would you do it if you don't want a leave out?
jernelle louis: You so pretty
hellybug: How long does it take???
MattedHairDoctors: Good video, but REMOVAL is just as serious...... Right after cutting the hair extensions out, please soak your clients hair with the TAKE DOWN remover/detangle cream. It makes their hair and makes it easier to comb through and detangle before you shampoo. If they have any matting or tangles from build up at the roots, it softens all of it. No pain, hair loss and minimal shedding! Its almost unbelievable......you have to try it on clients!. And it does not matter if they leave a style in for 6 weeks or 6 months. Their hair is saved, moisturized and healthy.
Daily Giraffe: Oh my glow she has weave sewn in already I can see dem train tracks
Juanlethia Parker: would you need to have good hair to get this style
