Natural Looking Crochet Braids With Kanekalon Hair// Invisible Part Method

Hi everyone welcome back to my channel and, if you're new, welcome if you're a returning subscriber thank you for coming back. So today, i'm going to show you how i made my crochet brace using the invisible path method and i really enjoy this hair so far, um compared to the other one i had before, and i'm gon na show you what i did. Obviously, i'm no expert, but i hope you enjoy this video. So don't you dare laugh at my little puffs, so you need a comb, a wide tutorial comb, a pair of scissors rat tail comb or this one from nigeria and your crochet braid hooks - and this is the hair i'm using and that's the african collection jumbo braid. I mean i used about four packs, but i think maybe almost five packs should be okay if you have a fuller hair - and this is what it looks like it's pretty good, it's not very full. So, that's why you need quite a few, and i split it into two, as you would see in the next clip. So this is just one pack and i'm just cutting a pair of scissors and i'm just gon na control, my hair, all the way back. I'M not even sure why i did two cupboards either side, but that's what i do you don't really need to do that you could just do you know the usual method. Do half horizontal um cornrows and then the rest vertical, but it doesn't really hurt to do anything different. I didn't know i was dancing. I was just having fun, so that's just novel conroes, as you can see - and this is me all finished again - i never do white cornrows neat because no one's going to see them, and this is the back which is even worse than the front, and then i've Put up half of it. Well, i've done the back, and this is what it looks like it's pretty good, um so far i think um. I don't really have problems doing the back as such. It'S kind of more straightforward, but i'm only filming the front. So i'm just gon na get the hair and put it on the latching hook and then open the loop and pull the hair through, as you can see, and then i'm going to twist it and pull it back, and this way it secures the crochet braid. Just so it doesn't unravel and it just keeps it really secure with this kind of hair, it's actually okay to just loop once or twice you don't really need to do three times, because it's quite close, so i'm doing the same thing. I'Ll just leave you to watch and that's it. So that's pretty much what i did and this kind of style is called the tree braid style, so i've finished one half almost half of it, including the back and yeah so far i'm really liking. I know it's gon na be massive when i finish, but i do like this hair, it's relatively easier to use, so i'm just showing you that um there's three um cornrows on the side, i'm gon na leave them and then braid the rest, because i want to Do invisible parting on those ones, i'm just going to put the hair away because it can get in the way and then i'm just finishing up the other side. And i just put the video on fast forward because i mean you already know what i'm doing um by this time. Honestly, i was getting so tired. You would see that i filmed this over two days. Well, i finished it on the first day, but even on the first day i started really late and i was doing so many other things before i completed my hair, so it did take a little while compared to normal all the braids that i do, but it Was fun doing it as always, so what you're doing make sure, even at the very tip you add some hair just to make sure it looks good, and this is me all done and now the three parts that i have that i'm going to try and do Invisible part into and i'll show you what method i use. I'M not an expert, but i'll show you. I don't even know what i was dancing. I always have music on when i'm making my hair always so. Pattern is basically the same, but you're pulling the hair once through the crochet hook, and instead of pulling everything you're going to split the hair into two and pull the one at the back through the loop and then loop. It twice again just to secure it and then pull it out, and that way one of the um sides will cover the braid or the cornrow. Rather just so it's hidden. That'S why it's called invisible path, method or invisible method. I'M just going to show you again and i'll just put it in pull it through open the loop and then pull one half of the hair through the loop once and then twist it to form another loop and just to secure it and then pull it out. And that covers the corner and you'd see when i finish what it looks like so just doing another one, but i'm going to leave you just to watch it's almost problematic. It'S so hard dude! That'S when you're filming and you're trying to look in the mirror, as well, just to make sure you're in focus and also try to do your hair, but it was still fun making it. I do enjoy making my hair and i enjoy filming it as well, because looking back it looks so much more easier when you're watching it compared to when you get to do it and it was videos. I watched that helped me learn to do my hair myself. So i'm always happy to do the same, but yeah the invisible method is harder to do. I would say so. This is me alder, and i hope you can see that it looks so much different if you do the invisible method compared to the other side, which has a tree method. Now i'm completing the other side, and you know what, when i got to this side, i was tired and i didn't loop it twice. You know. I said you twisted a little bit twice. I just did it once and do you know what it was actually okay. It was completely fine, but i guess you can get away with it if the hair is crushed like this one, if the texture is kind of, you know secure, because if you have straighter hair - and you do this method um, if you do just one loop - is Going to unravel, but with this one i just you know, looked it once and that was it on this other side. It was fine. Well, i would say, if you just wanted to look, you know perfect, then just look at twice, but so far i've not had any of them unravel and it's been fine. So i'm almost done now. This is me completely done. You can see. That'S massive like i wish. I was bold enough to have my hair like this. Oh, it's so big, big hair. I don't care. I was just trying to see what i would look like if i ever attempted to have my hair like this, so you can see it's a really really full um crochet braids - and this is the invisible part, there's still a lot gapping, but i'm going to oil. The hair now and just use normal hair oil. Anyone will do and then just making sure taking out a section and then blow drying it. And if you do this um it helps the hair become a bit more manageable and it kind of reduces the volume yeah. That'S what it does and it's really interesting, seeing how it transforms when you use the dryer, i'm using it on low heat, so low saturn, because again, remember this: isn't human hair? This is kind of color, so you have to be careful with the heat. Then i'm going in with my straightener and i'm using the lower setting and you can increase it depending on what the hair tolerates. I find that from 150 degrees it was fine, but again it depends on your type of hair straightener. So i have finished one half and i'm absolutely loving it. It'S really easier to manage and if there are no tangles it comes through completely and that's because of you know using the hair dryer is an oil and straightener. Now i'm just comparing the two sides. So you can see one side, they're straightened and the other isn't now i finished the entire hair you can tell it was already nice like i was exhausted, i'm never gon na lie. I always wear my hair like in a low ponytail and that's what i'm going to do now um. I i liked it um. If you like your part closer, then you can always make your cornrows closer yeah, i'm in just so there's not a big part, but i don't mind. I think it's okay and i like the invisible method. So this is the next day and i straightened it a little bit more. So it's much more flatter and i think i like it this way - and this is the back of the hair and it looks really really good. I think next time i'm just going to have a leave out and see you know how that blends. Well with my natural hair, when it's straightened or at least blown blown out but yeah, i'm really really loving the hair um. It'S really easy to manage, doesn't tangle. It'S easy to comb and it just looks good, i believe again, i'm just putting it in a low ponytail, because i like safe styles, and that is me done. I have enjoyed this video and i'll see you in my next one, bye-bye
