Knotless Jumbo Box Braid Tutorial

Oh yeah, hey guys welcome back to my video, so you can tell by the title that today we're going to be braiding. My hair I've already parted it and section it and put it in um rubber bands, I'm not sure if I'm going to the door, if a Band Method, yet we're going to try the knotless method and if that doesn't work, we're moving on so first I want To show you the parts side note, this is how I used to wear my hair as a kid in elementary school, with these little twists and it's giving flashbacks anyway. So my parting is, I have one one, two, three four. On top, I have one on each side on the bottom here and then I'll show you the back in the back. There'S one two three one, two on the bottom, and that is my braid pattern. I know the parts of the back might look a little crazy. I got a little frustrated, but I can show you how I had some help. Um I'm about to show you an amazing Amazon find that you definitely have to get your hands on I'm gon na link it down below. I know I look crazy y'all, but we better folds up like this and it hangs from the door. It does extend like that and then you can push it up and make it shorter. Then you can open it and it has three sides and then there's a button in the middle for light. If you hold it it adjusts. I love that so much it's so cute and then I use that angling it and everything in conjunction with the regular bathroom mirror here to get the parting in the back done. So I did leave my baby hairs out in the front. That'S just I just went with the natural pattern of my baby hairs because my hair does grow all the way down here I don't know, and I left a little something sliding down here - do a little curl or something I don't know we'll figure it out and Then I left my natural baby hairs up here as well, so next I'm going to go ahead and start section out the hair to get ready for the braid. So I'm going to start by showing you the supplies that I'm gon na need to get it done. First, I have this threading rack um it's upside down, so this one does have the option to hang it up on the wall, but we're not doing all that, and it also has this little stand, which is what I will be using today. I will go ahead and Portion out the hair and hang it on here and I'll be placing that on my bathroom counter. Next, I did use this um. Even is this even yeah even 24 hour Edge Tamer, because this is the only thing that works in my hair and I use that around the parts and on the scalp to give it a nice clean look, and I did blow my hair out before I did - That I'll also be using I'll also be using these clips, which I got from Amazon. I also got the rack from Amazon, so I'll link that down below a tail comb. I can link that down below. I got a big pack of these from Amazon for super cheap and that's about it I'll, probably be using my brush just in here somewhere to brush out each section and then um. Let'S get the hair. This hair came in a really big pack: I'm not gon na open that. Yet because when I bought it, I bought two or three big packs, because if I see a hair that I like, I want to get a bunch of it to have on hand um. So it's 1B, I think 30 at the end, so it goes ombre to the blonde color, and I think this is 30 inches. Um in half is 30 inches long uh, because I wanted something long for the last five, but I did with these. I did use some very large um box braids last time. I did that, but not as big as the ones that I'm doing today those were not knotless, because I didn't have the time to be trying to deal with that. So today we are going to actually attempt the knotless and we'll see how that goes. So I'm going to go ahead and start sectioning out the hair and then we'll get right in front all right. So now that I had the hair all set up, I'm gon na go ahead and get started with the braiding process. All right, so I saved one braid to show you kind of add a rush for time, because I'm running late for a dinner event, so I'm gon na show you real quick. There are two braids left, I'm supposed to be where I'm going at seven 40. It is 7 13., so still got to get dressed. My baby hairs and work America, so I will say I'm very happy because doing the knotless method did end up working out. For me, this is how long my hair is when it's blown out, so I'm gon na go ahead and hop right into the braid. I end up using more than three pieces of hair once I decided to do the lightness method, because I wanted it longer and I, like my braids, to be full most of the way down. So I already started the braid. Now, I'm going to add in a piece of hair braid, add in a piece of hair, braid, add in a piece of hair, because I don't like when it's like really skinny at the root. That looks weird to me so and the third piece and I bring it down, that's when I start to get any like Tangles, which is not really Tangled. It'S like when you start breathing and you don't pull that all the way through so I'll braid it down. Some more and then I'm able to loosen my grip and reposition my hands to a more comfortable position and I'll start bringing it down until I can't really say, but I can kind of like feel when the consistency of the braid starts to change. So then I'll go ahead and I'll add in two more pieces. So here's one braid braid two then I'll braid down some more until I'm almost halfway to the bottom and then I'll add in two more pieces for length because I'm talking about these braids getting into okay. So at this point I'll go ahead and add in two more pieces: there's one braid two and that's all that I'm adding I'm gon na braid. It all the way down and I braid it all the way down. I don't like when it's just like a loose piece, because once you go to dip it, it's going to loosen up some more and some of that braid is going to come out a little bit, so I braid it all the way to the tip now. This is my very first time doing. Knotless braids and I watch like 500 million YouTube videos to get this down pat, and I think I did a good job. So you know - and I'm not even keeping these braids in long, because this is just a little something. Quick for my trip and then I have a wig that I need to install and we're going to be doing a review for so stay tuned for that um, because I'm gon na be giving you all the tea on this brand and I'm so excited. I'M definitely going to be filming a lot on my trip because there's so many things that we'll be doing that will make for some really good content, and I know you guys would like to see this. So I'm very excited and I'm talking too much so I'm just gon na hurry up and finish his brain and I'll show you the finished results.
