Is hey guys, welcome back to my channel if you're new here welcome? My name is india also known as indie bindi braids and i'm a braider here in orlando florida, and here on my channel, i show you guys tips, tricks and techniques to help elevate. Your braiding business in today's video i'm going to be showing you guys a new soft, lock technique that i use that creates a flat base with no knot. So this is something i just started doing and i swear by it. There'S no going back so so the hair that i'm using today is shaking goes water popping twist hair. This hair is a tight water curl that can be used for locks like we're doing right now. You can also use them for passion, twists, butterfly locks, any style that you need like a tight curl for i particularly like this brand of hair, just because of how bouncy it is and how easily it separates. And you want to make sure that whatever hair that you're using when you're doing locs is really easy to separate, because if it gets tangled, it's just a whole mess. So i'm starting off by separating my piece of hair into three sections and i'm going to braid down about an inch or two really just depends on what you want to do. You can really braid down all the way until you run out of hair, but i start off with about an inch of a braid and i twist down the rest. This just makes it a little easier when it comes time to take it down, because it's easier to untwist a twist and unbraid a braid. If you know what i mean so now, i'm going to grab my crochet lock on the top of it. There'S a loop and you're going to take your hook and place that hook directly into the loop, then you're going to attach it onto the natural hair, close the hook and pull that hair through the loop. Lastly, you're going to take the hook, one more time, put it through the base of the braid and pull the natural hair back through. Now i'm going to take my pop into his hair and start wrapping the lock from the base, the method that i was using before this really left a big knot at the base of the braid, and i was really looking for a way to get rid of That completely so using this technique, i'm able to have a smooth base without that big old knot. I also noticed when i was wrapping the lock that maybe i shouldn't have got an ombre color. I didn't take into account that the ombre would get lighter and wouldn't match the color of the crochet lock. But honestly, i still think it came out really cute and i'm going ahead and tying off a little knot just so that the hair doesn't unravel. And then i take my hands and kind of palm roll it together. So my client also had really thick hair, and that gave it the look of the lock being a little thicker versus. If your client has thinner hair, the lock is going to be a little skinnier. So i do dip my locs in hot water, just as if you were to dip braids, and this really gives it a lot of flexibility and movement versus the locks being pretty stiff and the last, but the best part. You already know the mousse. What'S the style without the mousse, so here i'm just applying it. Thank you guys so much for watching.

Did these three two one soft locks, they're kind of wet excuse that parting? No, i'm saying it's not pulling on anything! So if you want some get at here,

Nae Nicole: Love your method!!! Folding her hair in half when adding the loc so you don’t have to wrap as much you saved me sooooo much time
Neesha: I have watched so many tutorial, and tried a few methods. This is the best method hands down!!! Saw your video on Thursday 10/21 and did my daughter’s hair Saturday 10/23. We are so happy with the results. Thank you
McKenzie Greene: LOVE THIS METHOD!! I tried it just now and wow! This made a huge difference with the locs I currently have in ❤️❤️. The only thing different I did was split the crochet boho loc in half and used that as my hair to wrap with. My locs look seemless!
Jacinta Zulu: This method is so genius, it even extends the length to the loc
Keona Michelle: You did a great job…… I love how her hair turned out. I can’t wait until I do mine.
