How To Box Braid | Natural Hair | Diy Hair Jewellery | Kittenjelly

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, I hope you're all doing well. Today I made a short so well short kind of short video of how to box braids I'm going to try my best to explain in the simplest way without making it too complicated. The type of hair - oh we use in today is connect long hair. This company, I believe, is called expression. I like there is a technique you can use to taper the ends of the extensions, so once you break them, it looks more natural. I didn't explain that technique in this video, but in the future I will make a short video of how to do hair pull it to begin. You want to part your sections in squares, hence the word box. Braids um depends on the size you want. Mine, like I said before, is a medium size, so you just want to part up the sections, so you know exactly where you will be braids in. If you want to do small braids, then you would take smaller amounts of hair, larger braids, larger amounts of hairs and split it into three sections. This is a technique that I use to install the extensions to my hair. There is many other ways to do it, but for me this is the simplest way after the extensions are separated into three strands. You'Re, going to add your hair to the middle section, so the first strand will be just an extension. The second one will be your hair and the extension, and then the third strand will be just extensions in that middle section with the extension and your hair will be number one to the left will be number two you're going to take number one and put it Over number two, so number one will become number two and number two will become number one in the middle note that number one the section in the middle can go in whichever direction you want first, either to the right or to the left, I'm probably doing it. The opposite than most people, because I'm left-handed - and I do things like that, but whichever one you're comfortable with you, can do that first, whichever direction. What you want to remember when you braid, is that the section in the middle strand in the middle always goes over. The outer strands once the first strand number one, goes over number two and it becomes the Strand in the middle. You want to remember to rotate between left and right. So if you're going to put number one over number two on the left side. First, once you come back to the middle, you want to do the same thing on the right side. So number one has to go over on the right side, which would be technically number three. So I hope that's not to confuse it, so you just want to continue that technique. I'Ve put in the middle strand over the one on the left and then the middle strand over the one on the right. If you do the technique properly, there will always be a strand in the middle, and that's the strand you use as number one which goes over left or right, which would be strand two and strand three. The way that I braid is the middle strand number one. Always goes over the outer strands, some people might do it underneath, but just the way I do it, it's not the correct way, but that's the way I do it is. I take the Strand in the middle and I put it over the outer strands once you continue the technique and you get all the way to the end of the extension you're pretty much dead and you have an awesome box braids. So I put a few more clips in there, I'm a visual learner and I'm sure many of you are as well. So I thought that watching a video slow down would help you try and put together the instructions that i just gave you visually and would help you grasp the technique in this video. Once all your parts are completed, I like to process the hair in hot water that just loosens up the tension. The rates tend to be really stiff once you braid them. When you process the braids in hot water, it loosens up the tension that makes the braids. So stiff, I hate when their stuff and it also seals the end. So your braids don't unravel that cute little pink mug that I have hot water in is actually one of my DIY projects. I did you can check that video out in a link below and box of course, yeah. It'S a watercolor mug. It'S really easy to make and makes a really good gift so check that out as well. For this last part of the tutorial, I'm going to show you how I made my own hair jewellery sounds complicated, very simple. What I did was, I went to michaels and I got these little they're technically for scrapbooks, and some of them are for jewelry, necklaces and stuff like that, but most of them were embellishments or scrapbook pages. So I took those and I was creative with them. I been some cut them into shapes and I wanted this is a simplified version of the hair jewelry that i use on my braids um. I will have a video up soon and how to do faux. Locs in that video i have a more detailed tutorial of the hair jewelry, because with that one, i went crazy, like I put a lot of jewelry on my PO Box so once i have that up check that video out, because it will be a lot more Detail, i'm just gon na quickly go over how i did this. It'S so simple that you've only just watched a video and figure it out. You don't really need me to explain it, but i'll just explain just a little bit and what i'm going to use our a pair of art pliers just occur the ends so that they hug the braids, so they don't fall off. So you can just see me using the pliers to bend the ends around because the object is flat and you want to make it curved. So it's kind of like a clip. Technically it is a clip, a clip that stays on to the braids. I also used a gold wire and these small metal gold rings. The rings are pretty easy. Only to do is just read your hair through it. I push it up to the highest close to the highest point of the brain because it's thicker there, so the Rings wouldn't fall down. I'M just rewatched a video. If you didn't get it the first time and practice practice, practice always makes perfect, so you're not going to get it the first time, but don't give up. Graydon is really easy, really fun. She can do so many hair cells with this. So thanks again so much for spending all this time with me. You can check out my channel for other videos that I have up there and if you like, the music that was played it's by my baby, bro Jason Aires.
