Qthebraider| How To: Short Knotless + Curls

Hi guys it's your fave cuter braider, i'm back with another tutorial, i'm sure her face looked familiar. She was in another one of my videos and today we're just about to run it back and do another braid style for you guys. First thing: first, we're going to get her ready for the shampoo bowl. We are back from the shampoo bowl and the first step. First, we want to heat, protect your client's hair, i'm just going to work by section and i'm going to start with her back section. First, protect protect, protect with heat there we go and blow dry now that we have my client, nice and blow-dry we're going to switch her over to a styling cape, so bye, bye, shampoo, cape. We do not need you, no more okay, so this part is optional. For your client, i like to go ahead and clean up their end, so i'm just cleaning up my clients ends for her. This is just called a little dust. It'S not really a trim, because i'm not gon na go deep into it, but i'm just gon na get rid of the ends that she do not need and that will make the braid process go by way quicker. So if you guys are looking i'm sure you can see the difference, this is the side that i dusted a little bit and then this side that i have to do so i'm just going to keep moving along all right. So when braiding hair i like to start in the back so the first thing: first, we're going to part her hair down the middle, and it's also okay. If you have to re-part it more than one time, that's perfectly fine, because i don't always get it on the first try. So i'm going to go ahead and clip off one side, so i can focus on one section at a time so for this particular service the parts do not do not have to be so small. So what i do is, i start from the middle and then i part to the top of the ear. This is how i get my first section start from the middle and part to the top of the ear. So here we have just a section here, so we want to go ahead and clean up this part and we're going to trace the part like it's a coloring book we're going to trace the part. So right now it looks like i'm messing up the part, but i'm getting ready to do greatness after you have traced the part with the product you're going to now retrace the part with the metal tooth of your comb and we're also going to be using the Top, so this is just to ensure that the part is really really really really crispy, as you see from that first part how it cleaned up so he's going to keep on doing it again. You can retrace or redo this part as many times until you get the desired. Look there you have it. This is going to be the first section for this style right here from here. I'M just going to go ahead and eye out three parts: you're going to get them as even as possible, but it's okay, if it's not exact but from the look of mine, it's as even as possible we're about to go ahead and start braiding. Here i have my first part. What i like to do is take my shine and jam. This product looks familiar. I showed you guys in the beginning i like to take that product and lay on the roots. Before i start, i like to split my hair in three sections: make sure the three strands are as even as possible, because this is how you get a consistent, knotless braid. So i'm gon na go ahead and start you see. I did that gon na take the middle piece cross it over the right pause and make sure all your hair is going down on that. First part: keep your grip going to go again pause, make sure all the hair is going down. So, as the hair is bunching up, you want to make sure you pull a little tension and keep it going straight, so just want to make your knotless braid very seamless, all right after everything is pinched together. This is where we're going to start adding our hair. That we pre-stretched so you're going to grab one of those pieces and we're going to add the hair between our index finger and our thumb just swipe it in like that. Keep the tightness pause and make sure all the hair is going straight and it's flat there. We go, we added one piece, it's time to add the second piece, i'm doing the same thing, i'm grabbing two of my pre-made strands and adding it between my index and my thumb do not forget, underneath the braid make sure all of that is smooth as well. You'Re going to check the sides make sure no extra hair is going into this part and you're going to keep smoothing everything. Okay, we're going to add again do not forget to keep checking the sides of your part and we're going to make sure we keep flattening everything so far, so good you're gon na stop adding hair at the thickness that you would like to braid. So i'm satisfied with the thickness of this braid, so i'm just going to keep braiding down. You can also take this time to check to make sure all three of your strands are. Even if these three strands are not even your braid is going to be lumpy. You'Re gon na loop, it around your index finger and you're going to pull down. So i just do this two times to make sure it's secure, so i'm gon na loop it around my index finger, bring that strand through from the back and i'm just going to pull it down to make sure it's tight, and here we have our first braid Woohoo moving on to our second braid, i'm just going to repeat this is for the visual learners i'm going to do it a second time, so you guys can just get the gist of it. Now, the only difference that i'm going to do with this braid that i did not do with the middle braid is i'm going to add my curly piece in so this is how you kind of get the goddess. Look. What i'm going to do is add it. The same way right between my index finger and my thumb and i'm going to lay one curl up and then continue to add my braiding hair on top of the curl one two and then you're going to take that second piece and you're going to lay that Forward as well continue to add your braiding hair, once you have secured the bottom you're just going to lay the extra curly pieces down and there you have it onto the third braid. So i went ahead and did the third braid for you guys, but i purposely left the curly piece off to show you what to do in case. Let'S say you get in the zone: you're braiding, you realize. Oh my gosh, i forgot to add the curly piece in instead of undoing the whole thing you can get a crochet needle and you can just crochet it right on in easy breathing. The hook opens and closed so you're just going to have the hook closed. You'Re going to go in in a diagonal motion kind of shimmy it through open the latch you're going to hook your curly piece on close it pull it through you're, going to keep this loop and you're going to take it through twice one twist two twist. Maybe three times three twist and you're just going to pull it down, so that is going to form a knot. This is, if you forgot to add the curly piece and you still want it went on there and then you could just hide that knot behind the braid, so you still have the curly look. I went on and parted this side out, but, as you can see, this is row one. This is row two, and this is row three, so this service will only have three rows all together, like i stated in the beginning what i do to one side, i do to the other side like a math problem when i'm part in the second row, i Kind of start on the temple and then i come back to meet the middle of her head so parting down the middle. Like i said in the beginning, it helped maneuver through the process way quicker by working on one side at a time and it's good for making everything nice and symmetrical. This style requires dramatic baby hairs. You don't have to do dramatic, but i'm going to do dramatic for this one you're just going to go ahead and push your client's edges to the front, i'm kind of just eyeing it and we're going to come back to that once we're done braiding. We want dramatic edges because it looks cuter and we're definitely going to pull her sideburn out as well. So i'm just going to go ahead and follow the same steps that i did on the first row. You guys just continue to look and learn. Oh, oh, do here we have it a head full of braids. Every single row is done as you guys can see. Three rows like i said the parts are pretty even so we're going to go ahead and go in and curl the bottom half of the hair. I'M going to take my flexi rod. This is a red one. I also alternate between red and blue. It'S kind of just the thing that i do. It'S not really uniform, but i like, when the curls are different sizes because it looks more natural, so i'm just going to randomly put some in red and put some in blue you're just going to take two braids i like to do maybe one at the top And bottom row make sure the braids are laying downwards you're going to place your flexi rod next to the braids and you're, going to twist away from the face so you're going to twist and wrap twist and wrap twist and wrap once you are to the bottom. You'Re going to push and secure that same thing on the top make sure it's tight, you're going to push and secure that, and there we have it. This is how it should look. While we have the hot water brewing, we're going to go ahead and get her edges right for this particular look. You want to grab your mini flat, irons, take it and curl under whichever part feels right. That'S where you're going to start it. So i'm just going to randomly start here so with edges. You never know which way it's going to go, so i'm just going to play around with them until they're, laying how you want them to go here. We are back to the back of her head. We are about to dip that is pretty self-explanatory and you're going to need a towel to catch the wet and hot hair. So here we go, and here you have it the completed look. So if you follow all of my steps, you, your clients should be looking like this very pretty very sophisticated anybody can get this look. So thank you all for watching.
