Soft Butterfly Locs Using Xpression Braid Extension

I recently uploaded a video on long distressed, looks uh. If you haven't seen that video i'm going to leave the link in the description box below so that you can go and check it out. I got first request from anjoku jillian um. She said how to do this hair in attachment, and then the second person or the second person that commented or requested is a mika ma. Please i'm so sorry for mothering, the name. I'M very, very sorry. She also said: can you please post the hair piece that you used, so i figured out that the hair product might not even be available in so many countries. So that's why i decided to do the diy wow so that you can just do it yourself at home. So for this style, i'm going to use a special rich braid, i'm going to be using one pack and a half which braid um extension for this particular hairstyle. Then, for the back braid, i'm just going to fold the extension into three and then just fed out the tip of the hair like so so after cutting the hair into trim, i'm just going to go ahead to fade out the hair and to do so, i'm Just using both my thumb and my index, finger of my left hand just hold the attachment frame, but not like frame frame, not too tight. So to pick the attachment or just to fit the attachment. I'M going to be using my index finger and my thumb of the right hand side to just start, bringing out the hair like in strands little by little, just to fade out the hair. So, while i'm doing this, i'm making sure that the left hand as i'm holding it, i'm not just holding i'm not holding it too tight, so yeah, that's what i'm doing so. We just continue to pull out strands of hair gradually gradually until i'm done pulling everything. Just and once i'm done pulling this uh, this is what it looks like and to smoothing it, i'm just going to be separating the hair in sections like so before. I go ahead to use my brush to just smoothen it further more. The brushing i'll be brushing the hair from the tip of the hair down to the bottom or to where i'm holding just gradually from the tip. This is so that it can be easy for me to brush and so that it can smoothen up easily or faster. So yeah, this is what it looks like. Okay now for the front part of our hair, i'm just going to be folding, the extension just two. So this is what we call cut two and then we still repeat the same step of the three cut three, which is fading it out just the same process like that and then smoothing it with my brush. So for the cost three i'm going to be using it at the back and then they cut two i'm going to be using it in front. That'S the middle! Then the front part of the hair, i'm going to be using cut two and extra like cut three. So that it can be equal at the back to make the king kill i'll, be taking this much of the hair, and then this one is like the cot ii. So i'm just going to be showing you guys how to diy it with this coat too, and i did it quite three off camera for this i'll, be using straw and yeah i'll just be wrapping the code two around the straw. Like so we'll start the wrapping from the middle part of the straw to just wrap to the end and then take the other side and continue to wrap as well down to the and once i get to the tip of a particular end. We just take this bobby, pin and secure it, and then we just go ahead to continue to wrap the second side of the straw like so and then, once i get to the end of that particular side, we'll still use a bobby pin to just secure it. So go ahead to do this about like two two more times so that you understand what i'm doing so yeah. This is a very detailed tutorial and i will advise you to watch the video from the beginning to the end so that you don't skip or miss any single step. Wow, where i once i'm done with the wrapping. We just go ahead to turn all the hairs into this bowl and yeah we'll be using hot water on it like. So this is so that it will give me like this very deep coils and that's why i'm putting it inside hot water and while pouring the hot water, i'm making sure that the hot water reach all part of the straw to unfreeze the hair. A little all decoys a little so that it will be very easy for me to separate the hair just after it or after the hair gets a little bit dry. I'M just going to be using this leave-in conditioner and any condition i would do for this. So i'm using this one, this is mega glue to leave in conditioner, so i'm just going to be applying it. This is so that it can unfreeze a little bit for separation. I'M just applying this product gently just a little by little, just so that the leave-in conditioner will be able to penetrate all the part of the coils once i'm done, applying i'm just unraveling the hair or the extension from the straw, and this is what it looks Like after unraveling all right for me to get that a usual rough series, hair or kinky hair, we just go ahead to separate the hair in pieces like so gradually. But before that we just take off the ends or the tip first with scissors and then just go ahead to start unraveling or separating it in pieces like so. This is so that it will give me that kinky or serious kind of look guys don't forget to share this video to friends and family anyone. You know that will be able to watch and learn something from those videos share to them. Share this video. Just yes guys, please thank you! Oh after opening it up or separating the hair like just unraveling it, and this is what it looks like, and this looks so much like the usual series hair or the usual kinky hair that i use in the previous video. So yeah i'm just going to be using this now to do the distressed, looks as requested uh um. What i like to do, first, before making the hair or braiding the hair or doing anything to the hair, is to apply shine and jump to the back or the back hair of my client to apply shine and jump to the back of my client's hair. This is so that it can be able to catch up all the fly away, hairs and all the short hairs around that side of her head and after that, i'm just going to section out the hair and i'm doing this in a smile. The hair at the back, i'm starting with a smile chord after sectioning. We still go ahead to sub-section the hair for box braid, and this is so that it will give like this square shape box braid, since our hair is really short at the back. We just try as much as possible to just catch off the short hairs while braiding or box braiding, the hair so yeah. I will be doing the individual box braid first and before i go ahead start installing the extension for box braid will be box spreading from the root of her hair to the tip of her hair. This styling is a protective hairstyle for any hair texture. So you see how short the back of her hair is. This kind of cut can, or this kind of chop can be caused by relaxer the type of relaxer you use, because most hair types don't require like a harsh or strong chemical relaxer. So the next time she's going to come or visit the saloon, we are going to go ahead to just treat her hair so yeah and then monitor the glute of her hair so yeah after box braiding. This is what it looks like a square shape or line by line so for this particular hair. I made about 30 to 31 single box braid. I counted it because of the hair, the hair extension so for installation i'm not going to be doing the crotchet method. I'M going to do the wrapping method just to start the wrapping method, i'm going to take some amount of hair or the diy extension and just add it up to her hair and while adding it up, i'm just making sure that one side is longer than the Other side, the side that is not as long as the other side, i'm just attaching or i attach it - to a natural hair while the longer side or the longer extension, i'm just going to use it to wrap her hair so i'll be doing about three to Four tight wrap and from the root so that the extension will be well secured to our hair. First, before i start to do the loose wrapping to get that um, butterfly or distress, type of look or situation, i'm just going to go ahead to start using my thumbs to just wrap around and the tom i'm wrapping it loosely and then slightly pull my thumb Away and wrap continue to wrap about like one or two and then pull my tongue again, wrap around my tongue loosely and then slightly pull my thumb like that. Like that for the distress locks or the distress situation, she actually wants it to be well defined. She wants the distress butterfly situation to be really really defined. That'S why i'm just doing like one without my thumb and then the other, the next one with my tom or two without my tom and then the nest with my tongue, because she actually wants it to be well defined. So once i get to the tip or the desired length, we just go ahead to tone the hair using my fingers and then just start wrapping back strap backwards until i exhaust the extension it once i'm done with the wrapping and also the knotting of the hair. We just go ahead to roll the hair in between my hands like, so just so that it can secure everything and also give it that fluffy or soft kind of look. I will just continue repeating the same step over and over again, but if you really want like a detailed tutorial on this hairstyle, you can check the description box below.
