How To| Goddess/Underhand Braid Tutorial

Thank you for clicking on this video today, i'm going to be showing you guys how to do a goddess, slash underhand braid. Any items mentioned in the video click the links below in the description to purchase. So i'm going to be using this shining gem by the stacia harris line. I will do a product review on this because i absolutely love this product, so i just put some on my hand and then i'm going to put it on the roots and in different parts of the um part. Where i'm about to do the goddess braid. So warning i will be using quite a bit of product um, because the hair for this particular um braid it does have to be sleek um. I know a lot of people feel like. Oh, she used too much product like you know why, but trust the process. You'Re gon na see why i know some people who don't like using products um, you know if it works for you, it works for you, but for me i'm going to use some products because there's a particular way i like for this particular braid to look so I'M just going to comb it in, and i will link in the description where i purchase this comb from trust and believe you won't be disappointed if you do decide to purchase this call, and i will post the video either in the cards or i might just Do in the cards or in the description um, but where um the reason why i like this comb? If you see my previous um video, so i'm just going to take the excess gel and i'm going to stick down the little flyaways so yeah, i'm just going to comb it in you can achieve this style when your hair is in its natural state as well. Just make sure you have enough product to sleek it down, so it can blend in with the hair, and it's not frizzy. So i just rub the um. The product off my hand onto the hair on the other side, just stick down the flyaways, so this braid is a little different. When i started off, i'm going to show you why, if you leave your part like this, when you do a goddess break, it will be on your forehead and you do not want that. So, in order to keep it off your forehead you're, going to make a triangle shape to start them off, you do want to make sure the hair is um sleek with as well when you do the um do the different strands, so the one i just put Down, that's the third strand. This is the second strand in the middle and then the first strand is the one beside the middle. So you want to make sure you have enough hair, you don't want to do too much hair. You want it to be in the center of your part. You don't want to be too too big or too too small, because it won't look right, so you're going to take your extensions and then you're going to correspond the um real hair to the extension. So now you're going to um take your first well correspond third strand to the third extension, then you're going to take your first strand and then you're going to go over the middle strand, so pull it over to the middle. Your first strand just like that and then you're going to take your your first. I mean your third strand and then you're going to go over the um first strand. Then right here, i'm showing you that you can use your hand, but throughout this video i will be using the comb to add the hair inside the goddess braid. You do want to make sure your hair is um. When you do, this, braid make sure you're not pulling super tight, but you want it to be a little snug. So i'm going to use the end of my parting comb to add the hair inside of the extension and all you're doing is feeding it towards the um strand. That is closer to the part where you have to add the hair in so you're just going to continue to add the hair in from the sides, you want to make sure you grip it, but not too tight. You see using that comb makes it easier for you to add the hair inside of the goddess braid. This is why the hair has to be sleek in order to achieve um the goddess braid. It makes it easier for you to add the hair inside of the extension and add the hair until the strand closest to the part where you have to add the hair in it and then you're just going to bring it over it's the same process. Add the hair in closest to the strand close, where you have to add the hair in it um another thing that helps to learn how to do different types of braids. If you follow along with my video while you're practicing um, it should help because you can get that um like what um it help you with hand, movements and how to um achieve the braid as you follow along. I will put in the description below of where you can purchase this um mannequin, the chair and the braiding rack in this part and comb in the stand that is used to hold the mannequin up as well. Your brain should look like a little fish scale, not a fish scale, i'm sorry like a fish bone or something so i'm going to continue to add the hair in, and i do recommend this style if you want something with less tension and very gentle on the Hair, this is another great style that you can get if these are done properly. They shouldn't hurt. This is me doing this spray in real time. Like i said it is a very tedious, slow process, um so yeah, that is, it takes a really long time, because you want your braid to look nice and neat, so you do have to take your time when it comes to doing this braid. So once you get towards the end of the braid, you do want to make sure your um, the hair that you're inserting inside of the goddess braid is um snug, but not too tight, because it can be loose at the end. So you just want to make sure you have a good grip on it and make sure it's very snug and not pull too tight, and i will be showing you guys on how to make well how to add more hair. If your um hair is not long enough to braid down so now, i'm going to show you how to add in more hair - and that is what your braid should look like. So now i'm going to show you how to add it in your hair should be the same size as your um braid at the top you're going to put the hair behind the strands and then you're just going to braid it on over. You won't be able to tell where i added in the hair, and you should get hair from the other um strands, to make each strand even then you're just going to braid down if any hair is sticking out of the braid. Just add in some more um shiny jam and your thumb is going to guide you, so that is how it should look. It should be even so. This is what it should look like. Your braid should be even all over, except when it's going towards the end. It should fade out if it's pre-stretched hair, thank you for watching this video and thank you to jamisha williams for giving me this video idea.
