Hi everyone, so today I'm going to be doing a tutorial on this look. I haven't get a lot of questions on my Instagram and on my email and my blog, and so I decided to make a tutorial just to make it all easier for you guys to know exactly what I did. It'S a great protective style um. You can rate it, however, much, however way you want under it and doesn't matter, because it's just a wig and if you want you can sew it on as well, which is what I usually do, that you don't have any leave out. So you don't have to worry about it drying out in the winter months, and it just looks great if you would like to see how I did this then stay tuned. It'S coming right up, okay, so you're going to need Janet collection, afro twist braid, latch hook. Why to comb a mannequin head, perm rods? I got three packs. I would recommend getting more just so you don't have to do as many batches ride it purple ones. I think lilac something like this, but yeah. This is the size for a leave-in conditioner. This is care to shea butter, but you can use any kind that you want. I got this for 549 at my local beauty. Supply store a spray bottle, I'm gon na mix the conditioner a dime-sized or quarter sized of conditioner with water in here used to spray. The hair, when you use it a bowl, a big bowl that can fit. You know. However, many pearls you have the leading cap um I this is the one that I use. I recommend it highly a towel, a kettle or some ways. You have boiling water since they're a scissor okay, so the first thing you're going to want to do is take the hair out of the package, so you're going to get to our method bundles in one pack. So you take one of the packs and you remove the rubber band, and so it's going to look like this. You take the spray body that you've already filled with conditioner and water and you're going to spray the hair once it's saturated with the water. You take a strand of the hair. You grab the wide tooth comb and you're going to comb out the kinks you're going to get something that looks like this as opposed to this. So just a little bit fluffier and that is kinky grab your perm rod, you're going to take the end of the strand of hair and just roll it on the end to create an anchor. You can use your hand to hold on to that and you're going to start twisting. This is probably the most important part of the process. You want to make sure you're twisting in this motion, so you twist strand as you go around once you get all the way to the end you're going to twist it right around and just keep going. You just closed it off like this. Now I'm going to take the already sprayed afro twist hair and I'm going to grab the prim rod and grab the end of the strand roll it around the bottom to create an anchor and then hold on to that. While I twist - and this is the motion up close of how to twist it - you twisting as you're rolling around the perm rod once you get to the end, you roll it right back over all the way down till it's done, then you're going to grab the Rubber band part and hook it once you've done that for three and a half packs of hair you're going to want to move on to the bangs. So you grab your scissors and you cut the half a pack in half grab your spray bottle saturate. It take a strand, then you grab your perm rod. You create an anchor like you usually do. This is going to be easier because it's shorter, so you just roll it and then you grab the rubber band part and close it and you pour it over. So you let this sit for about 15 to 20 seconds. You have your towel on the side, once you've done, that you're going to leave them on the towels still on the perm rods for about five to seven minutes, to kind of let the curls form by themselves. So you're going to start taking out the curls from the perm rods and you just start from where ever it ended. You can kind of see what, when you look at the when you look at the curl and you just pull it off and it doesn't matter if it gets snagged just put off this up, you do that for each one, so you basically take off the rubber Band part, you start from where you see it ends and you pull it off like this. You space out the bottom, but then at the top you make sure that you pack it in because that's how you're going to get the fullness. So I already started pushing it in a u-shape, as you can see here, and for the top there is extra extra net. So what I did was I just rolled it and I just go shade right up right over it. You grab the crochet hook, you open it. You put it through about four to five four to five of the holes of the net hair. Put it right in the middle close the hook and pull it through once you pull it through. You open the hole, you grab the two strands and then you just pull and it's secure doing the bangs see how I've done it in a u-shape right here. So the bangs are shorter and they're. Just like this. So is you do the same exact thing you open the hook. You put it through about the same amount. So three to four, I mean four to five close. The hook, pull it through open the hair and pull it through. So you see how you've already got a bang grab the hook open it close it. So it's the same technique throughout the whole entire head. It'S just for the front. You already have the banks cut, and so you want to make sure that they're sure you see that now, I'm sure you guys closer how exactly how you hook the hair onto the net. So once again, you make sure that the hook is open and put it through. That'S one, two, three, four pull it through about four to five put the hair onto the hook. You close it so basically for the top part. What I'm going to do is I'm going to pack all these crochets to see how they're really spaced out right now, I'm going to pack them in very very closely, maybe putting him through about only two of the holes and that way you're not going to see Anything on the top okay guys, so that was it. Thank you so much for watching. If you liked it make sure you like it share it. If you want it able to see it, it's pretty affordable. I would say I think everything in total costs, like maybe thirty, to forty dollars. So if you would like me to make one for you, I can I'll give a link down below to where you can order yourself, one from me. Otherwise, you can invite all the supplies and try to make it yourself. I would say if you it's better for you to wear it as a wig and take off at night, because it is synthetic hair. So you set be careful. You can't really do much manipulation to it. No, you cannot put heat on it. I'Ve been getting a lot of questions on that. It is synthetic, so it will burn, it will burn so do not put heat on it. I don't know what else um but yeah. I have any questions I'll just shoot me. An email shoot me and please make sure to subscribe to my channel. I'M gon na be posting a lot more videos and lot more tutorials on the looks that I have. You could also follow me in all my social media links I'll leave those down below as well um yeah. So thank you for watching bye, mmm
