Diy: How To Do Bob Box Braids . No Need To Burn The Tips.

Hey guys welcome back to another hair tutorial. I'M super excited about this. Hairstyle today is the medium box braid bob hairstyle. I super love. It um. I spend about 16 uh 16 total on hair, and it took me about less than four hours to do this. Hairstyle and the only reason why it took so long is because i actually had to cut the hair and pre-stretched it okay, so i hope this video is helpful again. It cost me about 16, that's with taxes, guys it's super cute and i love it again. Excuse about my chewing, like i mentioned in my other videos, i'm always eating when i'm doing my hair, because it keeps me busy, okay, um and what i ended up using is expression hair. Sometimes the hair already come pre-stretched, but i wanted to get the one. That'S not pre-stretched, so that way i can actually cut it according to how i wanted the lengthwise, so i made the back really short, so i'm gon na show you guys here how i'm able to how i pre-stretch the hair. As you can see, the edges are pretty blunt, so this is what i usually do to pre-stretch the hair. Again, usually, a lot of the expression hair already comes pre-stretched, but for me i wanted to make sure that i start the edge really the back of my hair really short. So that way, i'm not wasting a lot of hair. So it gives me that flexibility, um and again i didn't want to use any you know heat or any of the to burn the edges, because then actually guys it really itches. When you burn the head and i've done it before when it comes to the bob um box braid - and i really it just irritate my skin with the the way when you burn the edges, so i didn't want to do that. I wanted to do a hairstyle where i don't have to use rubber band. I don't have to burn the edges, and this was the way that i was able to do it. So again, usually i start my hair from the back just because i can do the back a little bit bigger and this hairstyle really doesn't take long at all. Just because again it's medium sized box braids. So it's pretty easy, as you can see usually um. I ended up just like parting, my hair and split it in half. For me to be able to blend it, you are going to need some edge control, guys that helps your hair blend in. So it's not sticking out much. So that's pretty much what i ended up doing for this hair. You just need about 16, it's eight dollars per pack, um and um, just some edge control, and it was really easy again, as you can see the way how i pre-stretch the hair. It starts really big and it gets smaller out when you braid down to the tip. So that way, it's not gon na unravel because a lot of people when they ended up burning the ends. It'S because all throughout the braid is pretty big. So then, when they get to the end and when they cut it, it's gon na unravel, if you don't burn it, but using this method where you are pretty much um stretching the hair. So that way it starts off pretty it start off big and bulky, and it gets thinner and thinner as you braid at the end helps so that way, your hair, don't unravel so that method, in addition to putting the tips in hot water really helped guys, and I was really um impressed about how this hair turned out and again i don't know if you've seen my other videos or not, but my hair is growing, so i'm super excited so that way i get to do more videos with you guys because it has been A struggle when my hair was a lot shorter to braid it it's a lot harder, which makes it really difficult to really get videos out there for you guys. So again all you're, seeing me doing is like when you start the braid make sure you add some edge control. It helps your hair to blend in a lot easier and, as you can see, with the the braids that i've done so far as you braid down the hair gets thinner and thinner and it does not unravel which is really really nice. And again, i didn't want to burn the edges and have to end it up. You know it irritating my hair because it's going to be touching the back of your neck when you're doing the bob um box braids and then when it's when the tips is burned. It'S just really one. It really hurts my fingers because you have to burn the tip and then use your fingers so to roll the end. So that way it kind of gives it a smaller look. So i didn't want to do that guys and i really love how this hair turned out. Um again, it took me less than four hours the hardest thing about. It is just cutting the hair and pre-stretching it. So if you're thinking about you know most of the hair, that's already pre-stretched in terms of expression, hair, it's um, usually i think the shortest that they have is like 20 inch. So i didn't want the hair to be too long. Then i would have had to cut the 20 inch in half and then have to you know: um pre-stretch it again. It was just a lot of work, plus it saved money when you're able to get just the longer one. It was about like 96 inches and i ended up cutting it um four different ways um throughout when i was doing the hair, so yeah guys.
