Diy Faux Locs Using Kanekalon/ Xpression Braiding Hair | Belle_Graciaz

Hello, everyone welcome and welcome back again to my channel. I am bill gracias and in today's video i'm going to be showing you how to make this diy full look using pretty hair. So, let's just jump right into the video okay, so guys so, for this you'll be needing your attachments. Any attachments of your choice for this i'm using this really long attachment that is 32 inches long when folded into two and you're going to need your thread or elastic band. If you have any, then you'll need your straws. Okay, so for this you'll be needing two straws, because i want that the four locks very very long, but if you do not want it long, you could just use one straw. So what you're going to do is you're going to want to pinch one straw at the edge right there fold it into two then shove it into the other straw after you're done shoving it into the other straw you're, going to have one long straw like this. That you can work with, and next you want to do is just take your attachments for this. You really don't need a lot of attachment. You just need a small size or a normal size. Um then, after that, you're going to want to stretch the edge there and you'll see why you need that in a bit, so that doing that you're going to just roll that on the attachment, use your thread or elastic band to secure the edge there before you Progress: okay, after i'm done, securing it there. What i'm going to do is i'm going to start wrapping this rumble before wrapping it. I want to spread it out because you don't want it in one spot, because if we do that, it's going to be bulky, so, as you can see, i was trying to spread the strands apart and now you're just going to start rolling it or wrapping it. Like so, you aren't going to twist anything you just spread it apart, then wrap it okay, so that is what you're going to do and, as you can see, i keep making sure that i detangle it with my finger before wrapping just have to keep doing this As you progress and as i progress the hand i'm using to roll the straw, is you know, following the other hand, like it's going forward as well? So that way, it's also securing the attachments being wrapped on the straw. Okay, so you can see that place where the two straws meet. You want to make sure that the top straw is facing the direction your attachment is facing, or your attachment is rolling out, because when you are taking this down, it will make for easy take down. As opposed to it facing the opposite direction, you're just going to have a lot of stress when taking it down. So you need to be careful about that. Okay, then just keep wrapping. Oh, i forgot to say this was actually inspired by one of delia's empire's video. I saw how to do this video i think, last week or a week before, i can't remember - and i thought i was going to recreate it so yeah and i'm also going to leave a link to her video down in the description box. For you to go check it out, she did an amazing job. If you ask me okay, so let's just jump right into the video again. So when you get to the edge remember the strands we you know extended a beat. This is where you're going to need. It because you aren't going to bend the straws. What you do is you bend the flip? The straw, like you, know the opposite direction and you start rolling the strands like you like you're, going back to where you started from and once you don't really need to just keep using your finger to roll it properly, because you don't want this loosening up on. You so i think you don't really need this is what you should have. As you can see, it is really really long and took measurement of this. You see the measurements in the beads but yeah. So i'm going to show you one more time on this camera and i'm also going to tell you one or two things that i didn't see at the beginning. So, for these just do the same thing: um get the straws bend one inside stretch out the tip before you start wrapping the straw around the attachment around the straw and don't forget to secure with your rubber band or your thread. So i'm using a thread because i didn't have an elastic band, also a rubber band. Okay. So here is where i want to explain a bit so for this you could wrap it underneath or wrap it on top of the straw. Okay, if you wrap it on top of the straw, it's fine, but i did not wrap it on top of the straw, because i don't have a good grip or needs. So if you wrap it on top of the straw, you need to make sure you have a good grip on it. As you can see, it's a bit loose as i was wrapping as opposed to when i wrap underneath the straw. It makes it easier for me to have a good grip on needs, and i don't have to you know just be so careful or be so cautious, conscious about seeds. So yeah like, if, like i said, if you are the kind of person that has the pepper bunnies, when wrapping on top, that is the best thing to do. But if you do not have a better grip when wrapping on top it's best to wrap at the bot from the bottom and before you do that, don't forget to spread the attachment, because if you do not spread it, it's going to be bulky and you're going. It'S not going to, you know, come out the way it should, as you can see now that i am wrapping it from the bottom. I have a better grip on it from both hands so because of that it doesn't look so bulky anymore. So yeah, if you got into this point of the video, thank you so so much. I really do appreciate it.

So because this is a very long um four locks? It should be between 18 to 20 inches long, um, so yeah. This one was about 20 inches long, and this is what i really wanted. I wanted something that was going to be so long. So if you do not want it this long, then one straw is going to be good enough for you, as you can see, it's already like right wasteland so yeah, and this are the two i just showed you all right. I did a few before making this two on camera, so i'll show you those ones before any people before that's what you want to do. Is you want to put the straws inside water so, when you're putting these things inside water, you don't want to put the parts you started from inside the water. Another part you ended up so that it doesn't end up loosening up on you and you're just going, because this is a very, very long straw. I had to go in with a bowl to just pour the water on the straws, but if you have, if you're using a short straw um, you i feel like you could easily put it inside the bucket without this um, so yeah, i'm just holding the tip There and i'm just putting and pouring water on it. You want to take your time with these, because you don't want to end up burning your hands just because of it's okay, so yeah, so my cat decided to come say hi, because she was disturbing me. So i decided to just carry her so yeah just a little play time before we jump right back into the video okay. Let'S just jump right back into the video and after you're done doing that you're going to let it air dry and once it's done air drying. This is time for you to take down the braids okay. I just used the scissors to clip the thread, and now i am just pulling these downwards um. But you want to take your time when doing this, and and because the straw was in the same direction as to where the attachment was rolling, that it was easy for me to bring down the straw as opposed to. If the top part of the straw was away from where the rolling was starting from or away from the rolling process, it would have been a bit difficult for me to do that. But as you can see, it's just seamless taking down the i'm removing the attachments from the straw like so, and this is what you'll have it's a very good replica of your full locks? If you ask me um, so these are the ones i did before. Making the zoo i made on camera, let me know what you guys think about this in the comment section, and i will see you next time. Bye, you
