Hey y'all welcome back to my channel. If you haven't been here before, make sure you subscribe um. This video is going to be about tips for doing large, knotless braids large braids are usually way harder to do than smaller braids. So i'm going to give you guys all the tips that i know all the tips that i think are very important when doing large, knotless braids make sure you watch the whole video to listen to all the tips that are going to be along with this video Um and yeah, let's get started so the gels that i'm using for this video is instant control. I'Ve never used this gel before what i will say is in between the style. I did happen to stop using the gel just because it just really looked not like it was giving a white cast, but it did look, make the style look dry and i don't like to add too much oil to my client's hair. After i get done. I don't want to overdo the oil just because of the gel, so i noticed it was just really tacky for me. I wasn't really a fan of it. So you'll see what i ended up using instead going back to what i usually use when i do large knotless braids make sure when you guys are parting, you are completely pulling the hair. Apart make sure you're brushing the hair that needs to go up up and the hair that needs to go down down. This will help. You see your part clearly absolutely clearly. This is going to really enhance the way you see that part, also, by grabbing the hairs like pulling the hairs down and up it'll help, you just see the part really clearly because, of course, your scalp moves. So this is why i twist all the hair together, how i'm holding it at the bottom, because once i braid that it's going to be tighter, so it's going to prob. The part is probably going to look different, so you want to make sure that you're pulling looking and just doing it up until that part is absolutely crisp. Oh right here is where we're going to start braiding, so you want to make sure that you put gel on all four sides of that braid make sure you get it on the side, the top the other side, and especially the bottom. Some people like to put the gel in between um. I think if i have enough gel me, just combing it through like this, is you know it's good for me, make sure you get all those edges, nice and flat kind of like you're, about to do almost like a ponytail, so make sure you get all you Brush all the not brush but comb, all those sides, the left, the top the right underneath all of it. Then you want to make sure that, after you get a good comb through that you are gripping it see that left hand. I have a good grip, then that right hand i did kind of like a really hard grip on it to make it flat part. My little pieces into three make sure i'm staying up close to her head do not lose your grip. Y'All, do not usually lose that grip, i'm gon na slow it down, so i'm grabbing it like a ponytail with the right hand and then immediately grabbing it with the left and then starting to make those three little parts still having that grip on those hairs still Have a good grip on it. That middle piece is very important: make sure that it lays absolutely flat when you braid, see how i switch in the pieces make sure it's all there all laying absolutely flat - and this is where i start braiding um, hmm. So uh is so after that first row on the bottom, where the nape is um. I start on the second row, but first i part it all down the middle. Then i just wanted to show you guys the how i part it so basically, once i part auto in the middle, i just part one side of her head and then put that top section away, and then i'm gon na do the same thing. On the other side, now above her ear, i should have three rows below her ear. I have that one row so all together, i'm gon na basically have four rows. First uh. So your next mission on the next row is to make sure you put a braid in between the braids on the bottom. So, as you can see, i'm making a section to do a braid right there in the middle right there in the middle. That way, that braid falls in between the two on the bottom. This is going to help to not give your braids that spacey look and to make sure that there is a braid covering every basically part underneath. So you are layering the braids, but you don't want them to be on top of each other. Um, hmm um. So this is under that braid. I'M just showing you guys that i decided to go back to my shine and jam. That'S what i usually use - and i usually mix it with this other gel - i think it's called - i think it's pronounced bellatique, i'm not sure, but i'll show you um on the camera um in just a few clips. So after doing that middle middle braid, i'm going to put two braids on the right hand, side and i'm gon na put two braids on the other side of her head. So this is me working on that last braid on the right side of her head and on the left side of her head. I'M gon na put two other braids. Make sure you do it symmetrical. Everything should be symmetrical. What you do on one side of the head you should be doing on the other is um. First, oh, is um um. Now i'm going to show you how i add hair i'm trying to show you as slow as possible right here. I just add that piece of hair to the middle and to the right side - and i literally keep on braiding as if i didn't just do that, don't let adding hair trick you guys up. It is really simple. Now a lot of people don't know this, but this is how i seal the braid. I just get a thin piece of hair, put that behind two fingers over the braid and pull basically like a knot, so i'll slow it down, for you get a really thin piece of hair. Make sure it's long enough and you're going to want to put two fingers out you're going to put the hair on top over the braid, get behind the braid and pull it through so, like i said before above her ear, she's gon na have three rows. So this is me, showing you just a draft of what the rows are going to look like that braid above her ear that second row and that third row, in my other hand, closed captioning, okay, uh, so that braid we have right there. On top of that braid, now it's going to be a part, so we're going to put three braids on the right hand, side of her head and then on the left side, we're going to put three braids as well, so it should be six braids and total. So here is that gel. I was telling you guys about that. I mixed in with the shiny jam, it looks way lighter than the other gel and it just it just does a really good job never leaves a white cast and it gives a really nice hold, which i absolutely love. Now we're gon na work on the top make sure you get in front of your client to see if that middle part is in the middle. I get behind my client make sure it's in the middle get back up at the front. Look at that part pull it apart, see how many times you need to do it to get it absolutely crisp and absolutely in the middle. Now up top here on our last row, we are going to have three braids, so three on the left and then three on that right side, where the pink hair pin is at so on that last row we should have six braids, just like we had underneath So make sure that this braid is going in between the other braids underneath it so that way, we're layering and not putting it right on top of each other. Um. Hmm, true me, is closed captioning. So now this braid is coming to an end. Our last braid make sure that you spray your client's, hair dip it and you should be all set. This is the end of the video make sure you like comment and subscribe. Let me know what you guys want to see. Next,

Goddess B: I only wear large knotless & I’ve always had struggles with parting but this is super helpful and easy to go along with, Thank you for this I have now have a tutorial I can always go off of when I do my hair
Adrienne Williams: Great angles. Great explanation. My hair is finally long enough to do the knot less box braids without rubber bands. This video gave me exactly what I needed. Thanks Sis! ❤️
Chazin Brown: This is an excellent video for beginners! I was really fearful of offering knotless services but this has helped tremendously! I do have three questions: how many pieces of hair did you add in to complete the one braid? How many pieces of hair do you have laid out on the rack? How do you measure the hair out to ensure each piece is even with the next? Thats where I struggle: splitting the hair up to be used.
Elyse Murillo: Thank you so much for such an easy to follow tutorial. I’ve always done twists on my niece for the last 2 years but now she’s old enough to want braids…. This is the exact style she chose. I’ve got all the supplies so wish me luck. Luckily if it’s Janky she’s only 6 so she won’t notice

issues: your hands are so beautiful! these braids are clean. ive got the knotless technique down but they dont all come out without skipped loops for theee life of me. still working on it 25 yrs later lol. what is her hair type tho?...its similar to mine and idk how to define it. edit: i do another technique but my boxes never seem to be close enough to the scalp. braiding the natural hair first then feeding the hair in might solve that for me.
Boh Gwanyama: BEST AND NEATEST TUTORIAL!
Meggans POETICAL Breeze: Ty for showing the actual product that's being used ... I'm thankful for all the videos I watch to where they show how to achieve the style but I appreciate it more when everything that was used is shown... I will be subbing you...

Lear G: The neatest I ever seen , Great job
Goddess N The Flesh: Thanks for sharing ❤️
Gabriel G: Question: why when I do my wife’s braids, whether feed-in cornrows or box braids, the braids aren’t fluid/flexible? The bend and stay bend, is it because I don’t dip them in hot water or am I braiding too tight? Don’t get me wrong, they look bomb, it’s just that they curl/bend and aren’t fluid like everyone else.
Sonya Babineaux Burton: I so want to try that edge control! Where did you get it?
Ashley 🦋🤍!: Omg thank you so much for the knot tutorial I was struggling gurl!
Nikki Talley: This is how big I part for jumbo. Great outcome.
