Two Headband Braids You Need To Try! Long And Medium Hairstyles

Hey guys so today I want to show you a Dutch lace: braid headband braid, so I have showed this in another video, but I only did half of my head so this time we're gon na go all the way around my head. So let's go ahead and get started alright, so for this hairstyle we need to make sure our hair is nice and parted. So I'm using this nice skinny Rach comb from Sally's and basically you want to find your ear and that's where you want to take your part down. So my hair is already parted down the middle and I'm just taking my part down on each side and I'm just tying back my hair. So it's out of the way so to do a lace. Dutch braid! You want to start out with just a regular three-strand braid, so I'm dividing my hair into three equal sections taking the front section crossing it under the middle and then taking the back section crossing it under the middle. So a regular three-strand braid is the first stitch. Then we want to take our first strand and you see how my other hand is holding it and I'm taking the other hand, and I'm gathering a section of hair right next to it into that front, strand, I'm combining them and then crossing them both underneath that Middle section of hair, I'm not adding in any hair to the back section, so I'm just going to cross that under the middle section back to the front strand, you want to add in a section of hair into that front section. So you just are combining them and then you're taking them both and then crossing them underneath that middle section of hair and then just like before. We are not adding in any section of hair to the back section, you're just crossing it underneath that middle section and then you keep going so you just add in a section to the front section, make sure you're gathering all the hair and then just combining it And then crossing it under the middle you're, not adding in any hair to the back section and crossing it under the middle again add in a section of hair you can see. I was dying, I'm so sweaty but add in a section of hair. To that front. Section - and you see how I gather it all the way back to my part line, that is crucial, make sure you are gathering all your hair and then just crossing it under the middle cross in the back section under the middle, and then we just keep going So adding in here to the front section crossing them both under the middle, not adding in hair to the back section but crossing it under the middle. So the start of this braid is pretty tricky because you are working with such small sections, but as you're adding in more hair and your braid is getting bigger, it gets easier to work with honestly practice makes perfect get yourself. A little mirror sit in front of it and just try it until you get it right. It may not be pretty at first, but just keep practicing. I promise you guys, you will get the hang of it and if you can't get the hang of it, then hang on, because I'm going to show you a full braid for the second braid, which is a lot easier. But that's the second option. So we got to finish this one first, so once you run out of hair just finish it off into a regular three strand, braid tie it off into a clear elastic. I just did a couple stitches of regular three strand braid and I'm just Bobby pinning it to the back of my head. So I'm just pushing that bobby pin up and then I just add another bobby pin to make sure it's nice and secure. And then the thing that really makes this braid pop and really beautiful is pancaking it. So you want to make sure you paint cake this a lot. So the beginning section is a lot smaller than the end section, so we definitely want to make sure we pancake the beginning a lot. So this probably honestly took longer than the actual braid itself, because you want to make sure it looks nice and symmetrical as much as possible. So I'm just pinching and pulling I'm doing the front and I'm doing the back. So I'm doing all parts of the braid. Just all the way around so because we are starting on one side with smaller pieces of hair, it's not going to be the exact same size all the way around, but this is what I ended up with and I think it is so cute. It'S nice for summer to get all of your hair out of your face, and I just really love it. You can pull your hair to the side or just wear it down like I did and it's just a beautiful summer. Look - and I didn't show this part, but I did use that comb from earlier and I just teased the back of my hair, alright faux braid time. So I am using the same part, I'm just taking out that previous braid and I'm just gon na gather a section of hair. I'M gon na try to go back as far as I can, but my hair is not all the same length, so it makes it tricky, but I'm just gon na gather section and then take that section and do a regular three strand braid all the way down And I just want to make sure that I have enough hair so that it can reach the other side. So that's kind of why I'm starting my braid, where I did, because if I started at my ear it would not reach the other side. I don't think. Maybe it would have, but I don't know I just did it this way, okay, alright! So what you want to do is you want to take that first stitch of braid and you want to put your two fingers through your pointer finger and your middle finger. You'Re gon na gather a section of hair in the front and you're going to pull it through that first little hole that you created. So you can see I'm just taking my two fingers and pulling it through. You want to make sure you clip it in the back, then you move on to the second stitch and you grab another section up front and you just pull it through and you clip it back. Then you move on to the third section. Put your fingers through and grab a section up front pull it through, and then you clip it back. It is seriously so easy and it's a headband braid. It'S seriously so cute too. So again you just keep going all the way down. So you just put your fingers through the front braid like the front section, and then you just pull a section of hair through it, and you do this all the way down, so make sure that you are opening up the front part of the braid, not the Back part, so yeah front part is important and you just do this. All the way down do make sure you are using a clip to kind of hold your hair back, so it doesn't get in the way. This will save you a lot of time, but yeah. You just keep going so once you put all the hair through, you can see that little end that I have hanging down, I'm just taking a bobby, pin and clipping it back. So my hair flows over it and then I'm just kind of pancaking. The top of the braid, so this is now like the back section that I'm pancaking it's kind of hard to see but kind of. Not so then I'm just going to tease my hair a little bit, and this is what it looks like. So it's just an alternative to a different way to wear a headband braid.
