Hi guys, I'm just making a really quick video, because I cut the braids umm. I wore them full length for like the first week, but there were super long and sweeping was a little bit difficult. So I cut them because of the blunt edge they unravel. You can dip them in water, but because it's blunt, it doesn't really seal as well as when it's uncut. So what I'm actually gon na do is burn the ends. I have been bringing the ends, so this side is already done. So the first thing you do is obviously you just braid it down past the point that you want to burn it off. Take a lighter and just heat up the section blow it a little bit and then use your fingers to rub it together. It just melts the plastic together and then you just clip off right below the burnt part. So you end up with so almost looks like the end of a shoelace. When you burn the ends, it has a tendency to stick to stop and pick up lint. So what I recommend doing, after you finish burning the ends, is just dipping it in a pot of boiling water with oil just to soften it up again and give it a little bit of a coating. So I feel very 90s with the burnt ends. Did so nice so I'll be back I'll? Show you what to stack back so I finished burning the ends with a lighter. I did all of them and I did them all at different lengths. Hopefully, you can see that I just like the way it falls better and then also you don't get all the ends. Bunching, together and sticking at one point about um bra, strap now that I've cut them so much easier to sleep in and I feel like they're much easier to sort of style and maneuver as well. So I might come back and do a couple quick style of its for you guys. I really do I'm wearing them down low, so we'll see how that goes. These are the boys in their glasses. He hates them on me, but wears them all the time. So that's about let's pre-much it. I just want to come back and show you the final luck once it's all the ends are all burns very nineties I feel like. I need some bamboo earrings at least to Pitt. Sorry, okay, I'm just going to go over. You guys, because I'm rambling - this was just a quick video, I'm on my way out so I'll see you in the next video

mechapeset ha emet מחפשת האמת: Toni I was going to ask you what hair you suggest for braiding because my hair is super soft and fine. I find that synthetic hair breaks my hair.
