Hi guys welcome back to my channel, so today we're gon na be doing a tutorial using this. Our Trey braids babe, ombre hair. This is gon na, be like a 1b transitioning into a very, very nice, vibrant and blue braids. The hair comes already pretty stretched and pretty layered, so you don't have to do anything right from when you open it out of the pack. It'S just ready to go ready to be used, and it's gon na be perfect for this tutorial, because we're gon na be doing some ombre blue little ombre box braids on my clients - and this is gon na - be my first time really attempting the triangle part. On 4c hair, so it's gon na be lots of fun. As you can see, the answer you feathered out, so we don't have to do anything so first things. First, I here is I already braided up, so she braided up last night to stretch it out. You know so it always easy for us to work with so we're just gon na be taking down that braid and just get it ready for the actual install. So I apply some glue magical through the hair to give it a little bit of moisture, and then I proceed on to section off the hair to get it ready for the triangle part. Now, when I do large braids, I always up for the triangle parts because I just feel like it works better and it just gives it a very nice finish for the large box braids, which is what we're gon na be doing today. So we're gon na be doing some diagonal parting to create the triangles. I'Ve done the tutorial on how to do triangle parts before, but so we're just gon na be going over this really really briefly, so we're gon na be doing to connect inside agonal parts to create the shape of a triangle, and after that is done. We'Re gon na take a little bit of product. What I like to use is some shining Jam so apply in this section that I'm going to start braiding. What the Shannon job is gon na do is soften the hair and give it a little bit of shine to prevent that y'all lookin finished from the hair just gives a very nice sleek shiny, finished. Look, it just looks really really nice and soft things. The hair for you to kind of begin to braid so start braiding off, I'm gon na section, my braid here into to creating three strands of braids and then I'm gon na obviously just place the hair on so the clients, hair and instruction her hair into three And begin to do the three strand box phrase: I'm gon na also insert a link to a tutorial. I'Ve taught my YouTube on how to do box braids to kind of give you a refresher, more detailed tutorial. Just so make sure you go ahead and check that out, and my camera is out of focus right now, but there you go make sure you check it out in my description below and also link to the hair would also be in the description below so make Sure you check it out now you guys, I must say I find it very, very difficult to find a really really good, ombre hair. That'S what I really wanted to try out this ombre hair, like it's so hard for me to like it. Let me tell you why, so when I find box braids, I mean when I find braiding hair, that's ombre, it's always too long right, so I have to cut it and then after I feather it, it messes up the ombre look. So when I saw that they had home - and here he comes pre-stretched - it's just like every hairstylist - you know dream like the work is already done for you without actually messing up the ombre look, and I don't have to go get like black hair and blue hair To try and create the ombre finish, the ombre hair is already you know made for you ready to go, and it doesn't stress you out, which is what I love, because the enables needs to be able to work efficiently. So this hair is just really really really a blessing, if I'm being completely honest - and it's also very, very soft - to talk just to touch but yeah. I don't know why. I can't talk today but yeah, it's very, very soft to touch. I say this because, like when you see some colored hair, sometimes they feel a little bit different than regular, like natural black colors. So it was very, very nice to see that the ends didn't feel rough. You know it felt very, very soft, consistently from the roots to the tip so yeah. This point thing I really really love about it and another really really cool thing about this hair is like after you dip the hair, not water, the flyaways lace. So much better. Like you literally, don't have to do a lot of cutting with your scissors, because, after the hair is being dipped into the hot water, it seals the branch of the braids and just give it an overall like clean finish like I, don't see a lot of flyaways And I'll show you guys when we get to the end of this tutorial, you see what I'm saying it's very, very slick, it's very, very nice. It'S still very soft. It doesn't have a rubbery feeling to it, but yeah make sure you check the description to find the links of his hair. It'S really really nice and I believe they have a variation. A variation of ombre looks that you could go for. I just decided to try the blue, because blue is my favorite color and I just wanted to see what it was. You know what it looked like. I apologized that the video is a little bit dark. It was raining all day outside, so the lighting was super off like super. Oh I'm so bad, but I had to bring in my studio lights. That'S why the light is a little bit harsh but yeah just a little disclaimer. So sorry about that, you guys know. We usually film when natural light, so it was a little bit different for me today but anyway, so I'm gon na show you guys how I was able to tuck her natural hair inside of the braiding hair. I'M gon na show you my technique. So yeah stay tuned, so if you made it this far Congrats so now you know I'm gon na be doing a giveaway with this hair. All you have to do is make sure you're, following at glan by mary on instagram, and you have to be following our tree hair and Instagram, and you must be 18 years or older and you must be within the US. Only all you have to do is make sure you leave a comments. Let me know why you love braids and I'll. Go through your comments in a week. I will pick my winners so make sure you leave a comments if you're interested in winning this hair. I'M super excited, so I hope you guys do participate yeah so make sure you apply and you place her at the braiding here on top of the natural hair and of course you do the natural crisscross braid, some you know, of the braiding hair and then, when You get to the tip of her natural hair. You want to make sure that the hair is kind of tucked in. In order to do that, you have to kind of essentially slip the braiding hair to kind of tuck her hard-knocks right here inside of it and put it on the back at least so that way, you can see the texture difference so yeah, that's just a little Tip, like I said just like flip your hand upwards, while you're braiding, instead of just doing the regular motion, just make sure that you are able to hide her natural hair at the back or or inside of the actual braiding hair. Because you don't want that. Texture. Difference to be very obvious, because this hair does have a more stickier finish and her natural hair, of course, is a lot more coarse. So there's an obvious texture difference like I mentioned, and the color is a little bit different. Her hair has a more like natural black, whereas the braiding hair itself has a darker. I think it's probably the color one where I was her natural hair. Is that pillow one B, not that bad? But you know still, you want to try your best to blend it all together and in order to do that, you have to hide her natural hair a little bit notice. Whenever I applied the shining gem, I use my fingers to kind of finger comb the product through the hair. What this is gon na do is evenly distribute that product to to the middle of the hair, just making sure that every strand is getting that product and the hair has been softened throughout. It'S gon na it's gon na help improve not improve, but like it's gon na help slick the texture down for you and make it easy for you to pass your fingers through the hair to get it. You know into that three strand braid. So when you get to the front, what you want to do is still go ahead and apply that shining Jam, except what you're gon na be doing a little bit different for the front, is just taking some edge control and just apply that over the shine and Jam just to make sure that her edges are being slicked down as best as possible. I use the Oregon oil extra hold, but I think the. What do you call it? The gas to be works better for her hair, but this still works, but I don't think it's gon na hold up for long. So I think that worked better for her hair than this argan oil products, but yeah. That'S really. You just make sure that the front perimeters are being slicked down with each edge control, as well as the shining gem to improve the the slickness of the of the perimeter of the of the braids, but yeah. That'S really it like I mentioned, as you can see, there's literally zero flyaways. His hair literally looks so good. I didn't have to do so much work after I was done. You could barely see any fibers on this hair. That'S how nice it was. Okay, so get you some hair, that's also gon na help. You, like you know you don't wan na, have to do all the work. Your products should also work for you anyway. So that's really eight. As you can see, the hair is nice and, like transitions very, very beautifully into that blue ombre. So I just dip it in hot water and apply some most to give it some shine and accessorize the hair to personalize it a little bit and yeah. That'S really! It hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial, make sure you give the video a thumbs up like comment and share and I'll catch. You guys on the next. Video have a merry day, and God bless

Braids are inexpensive and box braids last a lot longer than most hairstyles which is also a plus for me because my hair is so thick.
