Of course, i had to start this video off with the real that gave me so many requests to do a full tutorial on this look and then, of course, i also wanted to give recognition to the stylist and the inspiration for the hairstyle in the first place. I saw the style months and months and months ago and i saved it on instagram, because i knew i was going to try to recreate the look. So i just wanted to give this stylus props because she did that and she inspired me. So i'm going to show you two different techniques that you can do to achieve this style and for each technique. I used a different type of hair and that's just to show versatility and blendability based off of what type of hair you use. I also am going to be going into my eco styler gel the black, castor oil and flax seed, and then i'm going to use this shining jam magic fingers for braiding. So the first part of this tutorial, i'm just going to speed right through it, because it's just the parting and the anchor braids of the style, and this part of the tutorial is pretty self-explanatory. You basically just want to get your parts and your pieces as neat and as even as possible, and, of course, if you're doing this on yourself, which most likely you will be you're not going to do it perfect. So just don't stress about it. Just do your best and then the other thing that i want to point out is when you are doing your anchor braids down the middle. You want to be very aware of how tight you're doing the braids, because, if you're going to be going in with that crochet needle, if your braids are super super tight, it can be very difficult to pull that crochet needle through. So just keep that in mind. So you're going to have your two neat braids on the side and your ankle, brace going down the middle. This is going to be the foundation of the style and then you're just going to braid the ends of the braids and the back all the way down to the end, and once you get it braided all the way down to end you're going to kind of Tuck it inside itself, in the back like so so now we're going to get into the two different techniques that you can do. So i did a feed in method and i did a crochet method for the feed in method which is going to give you a more sleek look. I used the bobbi boss, hair body wave for the crochet method, which is going to give you a more natural. More blendable look. I used the made africana. So just keep these in mind when i show you the techniques side by side, so both techniques are going to start exactly the same you're going to begin by feeding through a piece of hair with the crochet needle. If you are going to be doing the feed-in method, as you see on the left, you are going to start a braid with that piece of hair that you crocheted in and then you're going to begin to feed in hair to make that braid bigger. If you are doing the crochet method that you see on the right, you are going to continue to crochet pieces of hair onto your anchor braid until you get about midway to your anchor braid. So, with the bobbi boss, hair that you see on the left, i used one and a half bundles per braid for this technique and with the africana hair that you see on the right, i used two bundles out of the pack per braid for that technique. So, with the crochet method, you are going to begin to braid that hair, that you crochet in all the way down to the end of the braid, and you are going to do the same exact thing. If you did the feed in method as well. Now we are going to pull out the needle and thread for the feed-in method. You are going to begin to sew down your braid onto your anchor braid if you are doing the crochet method at this point, the only thing you need to be doing is fluffing. Your braids out, then, once you finish, fluffing, you are going to sew the remainder of your braid onto your anchor braid. So at this point we should all be on the same page. If you did the feeding method, you should be continuing to sew. If you did the crochet method, you should be starting to sew the rest of your braid onto the anchor braid you're, going to continue to sew all the way down until you get to the end of the anchor braid and then you're just going to knot. It off and do the same thing on the other side, so i want to point out if you're doing the crochet method, you can most definitely crochet your hair all the way down your anchor braid. I just don't like to do it that way, but, like i said it's personal preference, i feel like it's extra work, but some people may feel like the sewing is extra work. So just do what works best for you. So if you did the feed in method, this is where you are going to start to pull apart your braid, to give it that fluffy butterfly, look and the way that i do this is i just pull in opposite directions on each piece of the braid. So once you have both braids sewn down and fluffed out you're going to take the ends of those two braids and you're going to twist them together and then you're going to tuck the end of the twist inside that tuck of your anchor braids and then for The very last step you are going to sew all of that together to make sure everything is nice and secure. You are going to be sewing the end of your braids onto the end of your anchor braids. So once you finish sewing, that is the last piece to complete the look. I just add a little baby hair, maybe fluff out my braids a little bit more and then you get the final look. So i wanted to put the final look of both techniques side by side, so you can really get a good look at how using different hair and how much hair you use can play a role in the overall ending look of the style. But that is pretty much it. I really hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and that it wasn't too confusing for you, but of course leave your questions and comments below and as always, thank you so much so much for watching.
