How To: Braid Down Long & Thick Hair For Wigs ( Quick & Easy Way) | Upretty Hair

Hey loves. Welcome back to another video. You guys have been asking. How do I break down all my hair and get it under a wig, so I'm going to show you guys, I'm honestly like not the best grater like at all. I don't really know how to eat the whole, so am break down technique. I watched tons of videos. I'Ve tried different ways and like the hardest thing for me, is to just make sure it's as flat as possible. So so I won't like you know, really look like a huge hump in the back of my head now. Granted it can only be so flat. You know what I mean, so I'm just gon na show you guys the easiest way that I okay, so I have one side done already, so, whatever I'm doing through the side, of course, I'm gon na do to this side, so just to show you guys what It looks like I just have this section braided back of course, my anchor braid, and then I lift this one out. So I know you guys can tell that these two braids were like. Let'S say this one I had it bring it down. Then I took it up and gathered it into this one, and I got it up and then brought it into this one. So I'm going to show you guys exactly. I did that and then, at the end, I'm gon na show you how I get rid of like this last braid or not get rid of it, but I kind of have it tucked in there. So the goal is, I just want it to be as flat as possible. I don't want too much to be protruding out because we don't want to have that big, obvious hump in the back of our head. You know so, of course, I'm going to part and get this anchor braid down and the cool thing about this is the link I'm bout to show you guys I actually did so comes into it, but this anchor braid is good for, if want to actually sew It down because you don't need that ready to have it sewn down and if you have clips and wings, it literally just sits in these two braids to help it from sliding back and staying secure. But for this anchor braid you don't want to have it braid. It too far back so what I mean by that is you kind of want it like really close to the hairline. I just feel like that helps with hiding the hair, so it won't be so obvious that you're wearing wigs that makes sense okay. So this is basically what I do. I just bring it down to about this point. I don't really care except write. It all the way to the very end, because what we're gon na do is add this braid into the very first braid that I'm gon na break back. So with doing that, I like to do three braids going back on each side, so in total I have six braids going back. I honestly probably could have this a lot flatter if I did smaller sections, but anybody got time for that and I'm literally not about to sit here and do that one. I just I just literally just don't have the patience to do all that and yeah telling you this this works for me. So that's what I'm going to do so, okay, I have this out the way again. I don't have it parted perfectly at all. You just want to take a section about this big start, braiding back and as you're braiding. This back we're gon na. Add this braid into this okay. So now that I have this braided down, I had this braid at it in I'm, going to show you guys how I lift this braid up and braid into the next one, and that's literally all I do for basically all the braids. So to section this off to make two more and that will make mine three and, like I said honestly, I probably would advise you to do this. Just don't like clean hair! Now you gon na wear your wigs for a while, I'm probably I'm gon na wear mine for about two or three days before I like really go back in and wash it and wear my real hair. So this is just what I call the quick fix to break down. Okay, so once I have it about braided Midway, I'm going to take this braid read it in it literally braid it in look how messy this is it's so hard to film and show this face. Basically, all I'm doing is bringing it in and then continuing to braid that braid down, so not it is attached and up inside this braid again it's not the me is I'm not the best writer. The main goal is just to make sure that the back of my head is as flat as possible. So if I do have like a little bubbles or a few stray hairs like that, you can just take a bobby pin and just have that tug. It'S no big deal, okay. So now I have two braids left at the ends, and this is how it's looking in the back. Not super neat like I said, but it is pretty darn flat for the amount of hair that I have. So what I'm going to do now is go, get some bobby pins and show you guys how I put these two braids okay. So what I'm gon na do first is take one braid go like that. Take this long piece tuck it under take a bobby, pin and secure it in place, going to be the same thing to this, just kind of squeeze that in the middle tuck it under take a bobby, pin and secure it in place. When I take two more just to make sure it's super secure, now I'm going to take this wig nitwit catnip mitt. I don't really know what to call it. So I'm going to take that and it is pretty darn big. So what I like to do is just slide it and have it behind the anchor braids like that, alright. So this is how my wig looks with my hair braided down just to show you guys from the side the back in the link. So yes, this is deep wave Brazilian deep way from you pretty hair. I have a 16 inch closure of the lead and I know the longest bundle is 18. So, let's see yes actually this is a 20 18 16. So I made the week by myself. I do have a video on how I construct my wigs. I make it very, very simple and easy, and just to show you guys up close what I'm working with. I don't do baby hairs from my clothes beanies. I just did like my own baby hairs and then like it, just kind of like blends a little bit. I guess so I mean it could only look so natural, my opinion, because I don't do the whole blue down methi or gel or anything I like to sew mine down, but in this case I did have the cones. So this is how it's sitting in my hair right now and to define this. I just took some foaming mousse, because I didn't want it to be like so weighed down like I probably use gel it would have like that wet look. I want it to be. Very defined and fluffy and I did use all three bundles, so it's very full very lengthy and I love it. This head is very, very soft to the touch but yeah. This is pretty much it you guys. Let me know what you think in the comment section down below, but the easy was it helpful. Is this cute cuz I'm digging this look. I also filmed this makeup. Look you guys will stay tuned for that, but yeah. I will text you guys. Another video, you
