How To: Add Beads & Shells To Braids And Twists

Hey y'all welcome back, thank you for tuning in again, so in today's video, I'm going to show you how to put different. You know, shells and beads where's, the other one beats in your braids twists, hair, whatever that you have so what you'll need are rubber bands? I'M using black rubber bands simply because they'll match the best with the color of hair, I'm using, of course, if you have a different color and you want to use clear or white or whatever color rubber bands that work best for you. I have already used these shells before so they're in this baggy, but I did mix two together. So there's the white shells like the one, that's in my hair already and then they're the colored shells. So I'll show you some of those and then also we have the beads, so you can get again any color beads that your heart desires and in the shells box the original box. It came with this little. I guess stick so this is it's an optional feature. If you don't, have it that's perfectly fine, you can just use like a rat tail comb to press the push the hair through either the beads or the shells whatever it is that you're using this does make it a bit easier, though so, we'll start with the Shell or I'm sorry we'll start with we'll start with the beads first, so I'm just going to pull out three beads and I've just dropped once so we'll pull out another one. There are two lighter ones and a chocolate one. So what I'm gon na do is I'm just going to find just a random strand of strength twist that I'm going to put them on I'm gon na push everything else back. So that's where this little stick comes in place, you're going to load all of your accessories onto this stick and I think I've been trying to use a loop straight, but you get the picture. So you stick should look like this, with whatever accessory that you have once you get to this piece, you're gon na. Take your strand either your braid your twist, whatever you're going to push it through this middle section here and now, if you do have thicker braids, I'm not sure how much success you're gon na have with this honestly. So this is how actually it's almost like putting a needling thread. Basically, so you have the end through one side and the rest of the braid through the other, and your accessories are still down this way. So what you're gon na do at this point you're going to start pushing and I'm actually just gon na pull all these up, so it makes it easier. You'Re gon na push all these up and you're going to keep pushing and pulling the strand of hair down at the same time and I'll just pull it through once I kind of get it to a certain place. So now the beads are on the hair. I'M gon na pull this off sit it down, pull this wherever you'd like. I personally want it at the end. You can leave it here and just put a rubber band there just grabbing a rubber band. You only need one for each section, so that is where I'm gon na put it take the last bead and now again, if you want to leave it up higher, you definitely can, but I'm gon na push them all the way to the bottom. So what I'm gon na do I'm going to take this last bead pull the end of the twist up so that it, you know, covers a portion of the bead. That'S when I'm gon na take the rubber band, and I'm just gon na start twisting around that bead to hold everything in place. You'Ll have to twist a few times just so that the beat the band isn't too loose. So once you get it to your desired, I guess tightness, I'm here, just a few more loops. There we go. So that is how it'll look you'll push the rest of these beads down and then you are finished. So that's how it hangs, and once you finish, you'll have the beads that look just like that now to show you a shell, let's see again, I'm just going in and pulling a random pulling a random twist. So I'm going to go in with a shale when I'm gon na use a white shale. Do you want to show you the other codes if you weren't able to see them before so there's like a you know like a tan color, I guess. Maybe you look. Okay, I dropped it, but it's like maybe caramel color and then lastly, there's also a chocolate shell color as well, and that came in a separate pack from the white shells. So I'm going to use a white shell for my demonstration so again, you're gon na take your stick again and I actually put the shell on right side up. I'M sorry back side whatever it is the front piece that you want, showing I put that that down. First, because if you do it the opposite way, it'll kind of hang backwards. So that's how this is on here, you're gon na do the exact same thing you did for the beads you're gon na pull your twist, your braids, your hair, whatever it is through the middle, you should have the end on one side, the rest of the braid On the other, the accessory at the bottom of the stick once you're ready to put it all together, you're going to move accessory up to the top of the stick, pull it through. So now it is actually on the hair and just like with the beads. I'M going to take it all the way down to the bottom and grab a rubber band again, and we are going to wrap and here right and keep breathing and again just keep wrapping until you know you're ready to or you feel like. It'S secured enough, like it's, not gon na slip out or anything like that, so there we go alright. So that is how the shell looks. So here's my shell here, my beads. If you have this, you know this excess piece from the in, and you don't really like it like that. You can always just clip that and the rubber bands gon na hold that shell in place. But that gives you you know the look of the different accessories. I didn't get you know the the popular gold pieces, because, typically you can just kind of pinch, those around the actual braid or twist. So I didn't do those, but I was very curious to put these in my hair.
