The truth will set you free the fresh little piss, you off, hey guys so jumping right in. I am starting off with a fresh pack of braiding hair and if you have ever had an issue with your braids unraveling at the end, then this video is perfect. For you, because this is the first and most important step in prepping braiding hair for any type of braided hairstyles that I do and, as you can see here, without feathering the hair, the hair tends to unravel when it gets to the ends. And it does not. So well at all, and so I'm showing you the difference between a non feathered, braid and a feathered braid to feather the hair. I'M gon na hold it loosely in my hand, and I am pulling strands at the bottom of the hair and basically, what does this is gon na do is kind of create a feathered, look towards the end of the braid, making it kind of staggered and uneven. So that when you are braiding all the way to the end, your braid will hold a lot better. As you are, completing this process is super important that you finger detangle the hair as you go, because you will notice that the hair kind of tangles up as you pull those strands. So you just want to finger detangle, and then you continue pulling in a real time. This step takes me about five minutes to complete and some people choose to do this as you go, but I found that it saves me a lot of time. If I complete this prior to starting the braided hairstyle, also now the way the game is set up, you can buy pre feathered hair. So if you are someone who wants to skip this step off together because not gon na lie it's annoying as then, I would definitely recommend a pre feathered or pre stretched hair for you, and this is the finished look of the feathered hair. So you could see in comparison some when we started. It is staggered at the bottom and I did not even lose a lot of hair. So in this process you should not be losing a lot of hair, which is why it's important that you finger detangle as you go so any time you pull a piece of hair from this bunch now it should be feathered which you guys can see here. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. I will be giving you guys more prepping tips. Make sure you guys like comment subscribe, and I will check you guys in my next video

Stephanie Knight: Girl!!! I was looking for the perfect video for feathering braiding hair....but when you kept it real and said it was annoying ASF I fell out. . Kudos for keeping it real for a beginner like me!!
l s: I love that you jumped right in to what I needed.
Jayarie: You can also just shuffle the hair. Basically you lift small sectors from the batch of hair and replace in the batch and repeat. The sectors don't have to be identical size. It's unlikely that place the sector back in the bunch exactly as it was initially so after repeating the shuffling for some time you'll have feathered ends .
