How to box braid here, I'm going to show you a really easy to follow method. I know whenever I was tryna learn how to box braids. I try to watch streaming video. The name is confuse me more and it didn't understand how to do it. It'S really really simple. So hopefully you understand how to box braids really easily with the first portion of this video and then so in the second portion of this video I'll, be showing you guys how to block free you're here really really fast, using crochet method, because I wasn't I'm resetting Every long time doing my hair, so you had to stay tuned for both of that and yeah. So before you get into box braiding you, I find it helpful to disperse practice, braiding your own here on its own. Just this normal three strand braid and make sure you're comfortable with that right, so you're, just using your index finger and your thumb to grab third piece and you pull it up through and then you just do the same thing around the other side. Using your index finger your thumb, you grab that one piece and pull it the roof just make sure that you're comfortable with this just basic breathing so that you can do this and the adding the next step is super super easy. So for the next that you just grab your braiding here and you hold on to two out of the three pieces of the reading here and then, what's going to do, is you're going to divide your reel here into two parts and add each of those halves To the two pieces of braiding hair that you're holding so right now, you have two pieces of your here: attach the two pieces of the braiding hair, then you're going to use your index finger and your thumb to grab your third piece of here. Using the same motion that you did earlier when the braiding here wasn't even involved and the same thing on the other side grabbing that one piece and tool to get the room. And then you just keep on doing the same thing back and forth back and forth. And then you're just back to basics, regular braiding, once you've done the first few great. The deaf in case of what I did early was confusing to you. Here'S another view from the back. So I have my breathing here and I'm holding on to two of the three pieces of reading here and adding to house in my own here those two pieces. Then I'm getting ready to use my index finger and my thumb to grab the third piece up here. The bum zone and pull it through so you grab, use your index finger your thumb to grab the third piece of here and pull it up through. Just like that, they're going to do the same thing on the other side grabbing the third piece up here and pulling it up through and then it's just back to basic braiding going side to side do the same thing over and over again it's just that simple! So now that you know how to braid, let's get into the crocheting part now they here that I'm using is this gray, ombre body box here that I found at a beauty supply store, okay, so the basics of crocheting? Is you use a crochet needle to crochet on the already made braids on to cornrows that you have so I didn't want to crochet all of my here so before I got into the crocheting I just braid normally, and those parts would cover up the crocheted portion. So this I was thinking I was probably going to wear my hair predominantly in the middle part. I structured everything around a middle part and obviously you can change up the part and I'm doing right now. I just thought I was probably to wear it in the middle part that and I'm liking the side part but anyways. So I braided two rows along the top to cover up the top crochets and then I braided along the sides to cover up the crochets. When I pull my hair up in a ponytail, but you don't necessarily have to do this and I'll show you why later in order to do this, I started off by just braiding. Two braids asked them like as a front where my middle part would be. So. I'M just using the same exact method to braided beef grapes, but so, since I am using crochet here, all I have to do was unravel the crochet here and my braiding here is already nicely into three pieces for me. But if you are using braiding hair, what you can do is also easy to just get it into three pieces. You first grab here as big as you want the braid to be then, with that here you grab 1/3 and wrap that third, around the other pieces of hair and voila, you have three equal sized pieces. I knew about how big I would I wanted my braids to be so. I use those braids to sort of give me a guide of how big of a part I should section off for the regular braids that I would do, but I was really excited crochet. So I didn't finish braiding all of these parts and I just got into crocheting. So I wanted to show you guys to put us and it do next, but feel free to go ahead and finish breaking that it doesn't matter what order you do any of the stuff in and the way I cornrow my hair if I just went so. This is the middle part, and I disrupted everything based on that and I did all my braids going back. So I think cornrowing, because that deserves its own tutorial. If you don't know how to cornrow. Just let me know and I'll make a separate tutorial, but basically the same exact thing, except whenever you're grabbing that third piece and pulling it through you're, also grabbing more here from your scalp and braiding all the way down. So at the end of each braid. I just attach the braiding hair. It'S the same way as you are like box braiding here to utilize your real hair into two parts. Add those two parts to two of the three pieces of braiding hair use your index finger and your thumb to go under it and grab the hair. The third piece appeared up on its own and then use your index finger on your thumb. To do the same thing on the other time and I keep on going and going and going when you're show the earlier. Yet you guys thought it is easy. So once you do that, you just pretty much the same thing over and over again like this. Going back and braiding down, and so these braids are what's going to provide the basis for your crochet braids, and these braids definitely don't have to be perfect, especially if you're doing it on yourself, and you can't see what you're doing, because the grades are just going To be covered up with the box, braids anyways once you crochet on the gear, so all this part that I'm cornrowing I'm not actually gon na ever break. We use a large, I'm so stick to already pre-made and ready to go braids with on with cakes or changes, and you can get a crochet needle from pretty much any beauty supply store. But if you're DIY or like me and do your own hair a lot you could also just get a kit has pretty much everything you would need to do your own here online from this place called coral Beauty solutions and the kit comes with just basic stuff. Like the crochet needles, regular needle thread, comb, just things that you need to do your hair and it's more convenient that it's all in one kit and it's cheaper than buying everything separately and the cases themselves are actually really fancy. Considering how cheap it is - and I also have comb kit so yeah - definitely recommend I'll leave the link down below so once I got towards the center with the last two braids, I would combine them into one braid, and here you can sort of see, like my Finished braiding pattern a little bit so once your body done braiding, the ends of your braids will be disguised its box braids and that whole like row in the bag is just braided already good to go. So here I'm just showing you how to actually attach the premade braids onto your cornrows that you have just created we're going to start by putting the crochet needles through the braids like that and then latching on the braids onto the end of the latch and closing The latch and then you're going to pull the latch through your braids like so and then, once you have your braids pulled out fairly enough you're going to stick your needle back up through and then grab the end of the here and then now you're going to Latch that onto the needle and close, the needle and they're going to pull that the roof to here, like that, that's what's going to create like the knot, I guess and make it say, and then there you go and just move your with it a little bit And it looks like a natural grade just like that, the other, so you have to do that. I just went back and finished braiding up the rest of my hair that I left out to breathe normally and I was spreading it the same way. Just simple breeds. Braiding all along talks and justice eyes, and these will be the grace that'll cover up. So this is how it looks right now and I'm just going to proceed to crocheting on over here. I noticed that if you brave loser, it's a lot easier. So if you're, not very, if you can't bring very tight, it will actually be a good thing for you, you'll be able to crochet these easier if it's, if your braids are a little bit tighter you're just going to have to wiggle a little bit more to Get the breakthrough? There'S really no need to do that. Many crochets and here here you can leave some spaces empty as long as you're covered at the end of the day. You don't need all of that. So what I'm doing, and I'm starting by the top to see where I actually want my crochets to lay and how cool that makes them. So I'm just like going through the side and crocheting and then I'm locating a thing on and I like it. That way. Should I add more underneath this one and I don't think there makes me more, then, I'm only gon na put a few every once in a while, just to like make sure my brace underneath are covered, so you can't be like crocheted remain, can't be cornrows peeking Through your box great right here, I just want to close that gap a little bit so that the part will have an ending. So I'm just crushing through two cornrows and pulling the needle through like pulling the box break through and forming the knot which will just automatically close the part right there like that. And then I just continue to crochet under that, like normal and so like on the sides. I want to be rule to pull my hair up and we're it up. So, whenever I'm crocheting on, like the first Corden row, I'm making sure that those crochets will lay in between my natural grades, like that or the brave side raise myself. So whenever I've pulled up less you still, everything will just fall into place without it being bulky. So that way, I don't have to put a crochet on every single part of the cornrow. I just only put a crochet braid on, like both gaps in between the braids that I braided myself. If that makes sense, but yeah you have to work with it and just look great dripping, you want them and just place it. So technically you don't have to do these extra breaks that I left out. If you want to make this method even faster, I just chose to do it just because it allows for birth agility. So let me get up closer to me so because of its great pattern, whenever you crochet on the chair there, crochet braids, look like natural drapes and there's really no need to have something to cover them up. I was just doing it, so I could have multiple parts on this side. I have I'm so brave and on this side I have the crocheted and you wouldn't even be able to tell that they were closest and not oh great. So you could just skip this whole metal, part of grading, the middle and just so say it, because the crochets look like now so brace themselves and same thing for a lawn decide. If you know you're not going to put your hair up or anything, you don't have to braid at this size, so back to crocheting the colors didn't ask you come exactly like this on some of the grades. I dark in the roots because I felt like in transition well for my scalp in time, so I decided to just darken the roots a little bit and I did that with any alcohol paint solution. And if you want to know more about that I'll make a different video, I ended up using four and a half packs. I actually, I bought six packs because last time I ended up using five packs and I I wanted to use a six pack. So I don't know it was just a different brand because I didn't use a different brand early Earth may be that those hats came with your braids in it, but I don't know just just you're just going to test it out your thumb so lose you're done. Crochet, you are ready to go and you have these font brakes that you did in a third of the time and no easel know that you cheated you can crochets and it is super super easy and super super fast. Anyone can do it like just go out and try it on yourself. I'M really really feeling these braids. I really like color series if I'm ever had great hair before I've been wanting great here for the longest, so I'm glad when we got it so yeah. This is how I give myself box very really really quickly, and this is just a method that works best for me, so yeah be sure to like this video if you found it helpful and subscribe.
