So click the subscribe button, if you haven't already and let's get started with these beautiful senegalese twist, these are the hair supplies. You will need to do your senegalese rope twist extension to start off. You'Re gon na need roller side curls. At the end of your twist. You'Re also going to need a wide toothed comb for detangling. You will also need Hix edge control to make your edges for this look, I use five packs of kanekalon braiding, hair optionally. You may want to lose a hair growth, oil or hair grease for your hair. Now I have a small section: look so that I can demonstrate exactly how to do these clips and when starting off with the blonde braiding hair, because I want to make sure that you can easily see this file. So the very first thing you want to do is remove your braiding hair from your package and you're going to separate the rubber bands or the hair tie holders. That'S on the package appear now. What you want to do is make sure you locate the in and take a good look. Don'T you see how blunt both ends? Look, you don't want it to look like that. What you want to do is actually do a technique. That'S called feathering when you're feathering the ends of your hair you're, pulling on random pieces of the end, so that you can make the ends. Look more tapered because fresh off the pack, the ends are very blunt and straight across. This is going to make it very difficult for you to twist all the way to the end, because the twist will abruptly end. You will cause the end to unravel, to prevent the ends of your twists from unraveling. It has to come to more of a finer point so to see here, I'm grabbing pieces of hair that still needs to be worked on a little bit more by slightly pulling on it, while my other hand is loosely holding the package now run your finger foods To clear any tangles, so you can take a good look at how well you feather clean and now, if you keep working on the rest of the hair, you want to make sure that you run your fingers through because, as you were feathering it is, you are Basically, creating like a tingling effect along the hair, so after running my hands all the way through it's now time to begin cutting those loose ends. So I'm just going down at an angle to cut so that I'm not creating a blunt straight appearance at the end. Cut down head again - and this is how your package of hair sugar now to begin twisting. I'M going to demonstrate on this section that I have here by dividing this into two parts, because I have to twist left to do make sure you clean up the parts really good. So that way, wherever you choose to part your hair to where your style, your parts looks, very nice now put the rest of the hair out of the way with a duckbill clip and we're going to focus on this pieces. So now I'm just showing you all the way around that you want to have a square size. If you want other types of party, then you can do triangle partings. If you want it to as well. Now I'm going to take some hair growth free. You can also use hair growth serum if you wanted to this is optional. You want to use a hair growth serum if you want to help speed up the growth of your hair. So I'm doing is I'm smoothing this along my parts on my scalp and I'm going to divide this in half in preparation of doing my twist and I'm also adding some hair growth grease in a sense of my part as well. So now. These are your two pieces and you want to make sure they're pretty much equal in size so that you have a very consistent way now taking our light, color braiding hair, I'm going to show you the amount of hair, you want to pinch off and you want The hair to be slightly thicker in width as you have this on top of your head, so that way, your quiz don't look too or two things now, taking that direct sensor, I'm going to lay it right at the part where you see my scalp and I'm Going to begin twisting the side here that you see me home so now, you're just going to place it there and use your left hand to hold firmly the other side as you prepare to twist your hair into the braiding hair. So, as you can see here, I'm rotating this hair sports in my face, so if you are facing the exact direction, is meet in relation to the direction I'm going, I'm twisting towards my face so now after posting a couple of times in the hall. With that hand - and this section here is going to begin twisting going a way for my face. But if you were to push this piece of hair off your scalp, both sides are actually going in the same direction but you're going to put in the opposite direction. When I'm actually twisting your hair another way to see exactly which way to twist is that one side, that's unlisted, will automatically start twisting on its own. Not at this point that second area that we twisted you're going to overlap that over top of the first leg, that decreases so remember, you're, going to twist your right leg. First and then your left leg, the opposite side and the left leg goes over the right leg. Now, as you see here, I'm twisting both pieces of hair opposite of one another and rotating the piece. That'S in my left hand over the piece. That'S in my right hand, if you notice that your twist is loose, I suggest that you start over and repeat the process, because once you suspect this clips at the top, you can actually create a perfect slip. Going all the way down continue to put both pieces in each trader simultaneously, as you overlap one over the other. You should see that it's not looked at all as you're doing. It is actually adding up every single time and overlap twist and overlap. One important thing that I want you to keep in mind is that you have to consistently twist both legs with the same amount of tension and pressure, so make sure that the twist does not look like sided now. We'Re near the ends, and one side is a little longer and a little thicker than the other side. You just pinch off a small piece of hair to the other side, so that they're, even in sickness and in length. This is very, very important in getting the Eclipse to reach all the way down to the end without unraveling, if one of your twists and lot sooner than the other, it's going to cause your tips to not be able to affect the release lipids on to you And what the very important is to papers as you complete the clip of getting thinner. This reinforces the strength of the clip so that it does not unravel you want to put that bad boy, all the way down 3in when you're done. This is the staff in how your cushion look and upon letting go you push and not unravel. If it does, I suggested to be your twist over again so now, as you can see here, I'm just holding it up to show you how well is tapers at the end, and now, as you can see here, when you don't twist to site, you can rotate Your twist in all directions, you don't need your twist to be extremely tight on your scalp. You just want to make sure it's firm and entire. Now for my second demonstration, I will show you on black hair, because you will pretty much probably be actually doing these twists, the color of your real hair. So I'm going to show you as realistic as toxic. We have is Christmas and I'm going to demonstrate the steps and once again just in case you may not have done so - I'm laying a piece of life here over that braiding hair and I'm twisting this section towards my face. As you can see here, I'm just rotating it very firmly making sure that my hair is lately interweb within the wheel. Now, as you can see here, as you're twisting and using your other hand, so hold the hair down in place and now you're going to start twisting this section going away from your face, so that means my left hand is rotating the second time going away from My face so myopic twisting is section far enough. As such a section goes over the first section, and then both sides have to be twisted and opposite direction before you overlap the leg. This is very important in preventing it with some unraveling. You always want to twist. These twists going opposite of one another and overlap for your appropriate leg over the other leg. So, as you can see here, I'm just moving the hair around, so I can see how it looks and you're just going to continue twisting all the way down now don't mind if the twist is not extremely tight at your scalp. This is actually preferred when you're wearing senegalese twist is not the twisting type, because this causes traction alopecia, which is so unnecessary. Tie styles, don't last longer neat styles group, so, as you can see here, continue to twist in the opposite direction, as you overlap the piece in your left hand, over the piece in your right hand, always move out your hair to prevent any lumps within routine in Rotate each section in between your index and some so that way it's high before you ever met. Now that our twists are finished, you're going to use your scissors to cut off the in fist account the reason why you're going to have ends of hair that stick out at the bottom is because you pay for your braiding here we need paper all of these. In don't film it simply that's why you have random pieces of hair sticking out at the bottom, make sure to be careful not to cut up too far up your twist, because you may begin cutting the end of your real hair. So keep that in mind, because it may be easy to forget exactly how long your real hair go. So I suggest that you only do this at the ends of your face now that the twist is finished. Look at how gorgeous it looks with these simple but key techniques. You can create such a beautiful senegalese twist by only using braiding hair, and you can rotate your clips in all directions if you didn't twist so now that all the parts are installed, I want you to check out how gorgeous the style work. So I'm just going to do a spin around to show you how the Christmas once they're clearly installed at this point, you're free to go. If you want to leave the end straight, but I have some core techniques to show you so stay tuned. As I salute you how to curl the ends or mrs. as you curl the ends, what you want to do is grab a clump of hair about four to five twist. Is there about this size and you're going to grab the ends of your twists to make sure they all go at the same point so that you can curl the ends very effectively wrap the ends around the wrought, and once you wrap the ends, you're then going To wrap the remaining section around the ends and then roll your way up the wrought so that you can effectively curl all the way down to the bottom without it unraveling, and this is how you should look right before you dip it in hot water. Now slowly enter your twists into the water and you're just going to leave it down there for about a couple of seconds, and you want to do this to release air book now. After taking it out try to drain as much water as you can before, putting it on your towel and then you're just going to press to release all of the water, it's a help really sustain from your roller as well. Now, when you unroll it off, your curler be sure to do this card very gently, because if you don't, if it's nagging and cooling it's going to call some of your senegalese twists to unravel because it's books are so warm now use your fingers to run your Hands or the tips to release them individually and then you're just going to use the equipment to clean up the end so now this is how it should look, and now that all the curls are finished check it out. Look at how beautiful look is it added a light touch of gas to the staff? I absolutely love freddy-san degrees. Now I just want to show you how much more fuller look at the end beam at the intimate anchor. So now it's time to style up these edges honey. What I'm using is just a little bit of my favorite edge control. I have like so many favorite edge controls that it's not even funny but for this clip I'm using the Hicks edge control to actually style up my edges as well as using a small system, but if you would rather use a toothbrush, then I'll perfectly fine. With that, just as long as before your edges all right, but for this look and for many of the looks that I like to do, I always like the look of the small tooth comb. That'S why you look small so called edge, except such as bottom edges. So, as you can see, we didn't even need to use much product because we barely have as much education so a little later, I'm going to do the other side, and this is exactly how my edges look once I finish full. As you can see, we have some looks and plays going on which I love so now, ladies as you can see, I got a hop on me Phil's, going on here with those edges looking too late. So now, I'm just going to spin around to show you how gorgeous and simple this style looks was such a beautiful classic high ponytail style. The very first thing you want to do when creating a high ponytail is using a small patch of hair supposed to come in exactly where your placement will be. This is very important so that you can smoothly create a high ponytail without the extra fussing. What I mean by that is, because you just finished installing it with the scalp, might feel just a little bit sensitive. So you don't want to pull or maneuver your hair more than necessary. That'S why you first want to predetermine exactly where your placement will be and then smooth your twists into position. So that way, you can effectively create a high point, sense, be sure to also rotate in one hand over the other, to give your shoulders a little bit of respite to take you a little to actually create your ponytail so now, just further smooth. All of your twists into position so is very flat and smooth, so we don't have any kinks, and now I'm just going to show you how it looks all around if I get ready to put it into a ponytail. So now, at this point, I'm going to go ahead and put this hair into a ponytail and because of the size of my ponytail holder, I only need to move it around my ponytail once if you have a large hat band or large hair type, then you Want to loop it around, maybe about two to three times the thing is you don't need your ponytails tight, because I'm going to show you how to tighten it up a little better to create a slight bandit effect that your ponytail, but for now just loop. It around once and I'm going to show you this little trick that I like to do with my high ponytail to make them just a little bit tighter. So now, I'm just spinning around really quick to show you that's exactly where you want your high ponytail to be for this knot at the very back, I'm grabbing anywhere from about five to eight clips and I'm going to go ahead and wrap it very tightly around The band of my ponytail, this reinforces the ponytail holder. What that actually needs to tie it to tighten so very tightly, I'm driving the twist and I'm wrapping it around the very start of my pony and then I'm slightly consuming in and I'm going to make sure to the bobby pins attended. At the very back of my ponytail and this technique also gives you a slight lift in the high ponytail, so that it's not flat at the top that has a slight lift at the very top of your pony and now with your hair in position. This is definitely a super cute and easy file that you can wear with your senegalese.
