Crochet Braids
So I'm coming at you guys with something new in the crochet braid world. Alright, I got some new hair that I've been dying to show you guys. I know I had in the Bumba dreadlocks before I love those a whole different video, okay, a couple of videos on that. So but this is a revolutionary type thing like something I've never seen before, and I'm excited to show it to. You guys haven't seen any other videos on this hair. Yet so you know, I'm always excited to come with something new for you. Now I've been talking about it on Instagram, I posted a few pictures about it, so the instagramers you already know what this is, because you know I can't hold it on Instagram Instagram, I'm not a snapchat on the Instagram ER. So for those of you who are still instagramming, you know that's what I do. I don't snapchat, that's just not my thing but yeah the hair, the hair, though we talk about the hair, not not not all that okay, so I have six packs installed and there are ten twists that come in a pack. Okay - and this is a color number two - I love the dimension on these twists, but what I really truly love, okay, is the fact that you get three completely different hairstyles with this twist. What'S a revolutionary about the twist is that it's like a 3d split twist, meaning you can split this hair twice? Okay, so you have your twist and then you can split it twice after that, okay and get, but that's a three different hairstyles. So you have. This is one you unravel it once that's to unravel it again, because it's like a double twist when I take it a loose you'll understand what I'm talking about, but it's like a four strand twist: okay, which makes it unique braid all the way around. I'M going to go ahead and take it down, so you guys can see what's happening, okay, so this is what it looks like after I've taken it down. I love the way they feel like it. You can't help, but like run your fingers through it because they feel so silky ish, so neat and soft, and just it's just a different feeling. It feels different. You know today, even from the two strand twist or a box braid. It just feels different. It feels I don't know, I don't know softer, I don't know what it feels. I mean it just feels different, but they're so unique. It'S just it's just a really unique twist and if you want something different like this, is really it and what I really truly love about. It is that they come in ombre colors. Now I wish I had had the ombre okay. If I had the ombre color, I probably would not like take them. A looks like I'm about to do to show you guys the potential of this hair. I wouldn't take it a lose, but I want you guys to see exactly what this hair can do. So I'm going to be taking it a loose twice because again it's a four strand twist. So I'm going to take the lose twice, so you guys can see the potential of the hair. The tip is knotted at the end, so you can just snip that little tie at the end and then just start taking it too loose, which is what I'm going to do. I feel almost a little bit sad to take my loose because I just installed these. Like last night, so I can record the video today, so I feel sad that I have to take them out. You know, but I have to unravel them so soon, but I really want to see - and I want you guys to see what is so special about this hair and the potential of the hair. You know I just wouldn't do this justice if I didn't take it a loose, so I'm going to take some small scissors and get to getting so you guys can see what is happening with this cubed twist. Hopefully, you can see what's happening, I'm gon na snip at the end and let's start taking it loose carefully. Okay, so you want to be careful because you don't want to take it completely loose again. If you unravel too much, you know you'll be at the third stage, and this is the second stage, as you can see, that's two twists that have been twisted, so I'm just going to unravel. Let'S move this up waste. You guys can see unravel that here. Try, which piece is this a piece all the way in the back, which was not a smart move for the school all right? So that's what it looks like after the first unravel these are two double strand twists. Okay and like I said this, is they twisted that to get this alright? So that's what makes it like a four strand twist? Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and continue to untwist my entire head, off-camera and I'll be back when I'm done and show you guys the potential of this texture after you take out the initial twist all right now, I'm going to go in and unravel each Individual twist - and these are two strand twists unravel once now - we have one more time to unravel, and these are our two strand twists, and so let me give it even more texture, even more volume and we'll see how that works out. I don't particularly you know, like you, know, a long, big hair, so I may end up cutting you know and restyling it not on camera, but I'm just going to show you guys what it looks like once. It'S you know the third time untwisted. So the third time, not the second time right, yeah, alright, see so I'm starting to unravel the final two strand twist and yeah back stretch it out to get it to do right now. I have to be careful because I don't want it to frizz just yet. I want to see how it looks that you guys know I love frizzy, textured hair, so yeah just unraveling, okay, alright! Ok! So that's what it looks like once: you've unraveled the final twist, ok guys. So it is literally 6:45 and when I started it was 2 o'clock, I started the video in general at 12. Okay, so from 12 to 6:45, I've been taking this hair down okay. So this is the final look. The final look: okay, like alright, how about thumbs up how about a click of the like button for the six hours? It took me to make this video like seriously. How about I, like can't get alike, can I get a like a thumbs up for the work? Put into taking this hair seriously, This Is It. This is the final look y'all and do you do not see the gorge? Do you not see the gorge like look at this? Okay and, as you can see, the lighting is changed because it is now. It is now dark. It'S it's evening. It'S it's 6:45. The Sun is down, so I'm not getting any natural light like I was before, and things look a lot different. Hopefully it's not too much of a drastic change, but nevertheless you can see this beautiful, hair yeah. You can see what is happening here all right, it's just it's not a joke. It'S a lot of hair! This is for the big hair. Don'T care lovers! Alright! This is serious business, but the curl pattern on this, I'm not mad. It feels good. Now, when I was taking it out now you really have to section it off when you take it a loop, so the last step I had to section and keep sectioning it off like I would undo a section like, for instance, like a braid. You know how braids going back. This is crochet braids. So I will just take this whole section right here and tie off this section it off to keep it from tangling and getting mixed up with the the braids that need to be taken a loose. I had to keep ahead like six or seven Clips like throughout this hair, to keep it contained, as I took it down, so that is a tip if you're going to take it down at the third step. Okay, at the last step, if you're going to take it down to the last step, be sure the section or else it will start getting tangled, you will need some scissors, so you can snip the little snags as you take it down. You know if you don't want to frizz it out. You have to be careful and really just take your time and untwist it to get it like this. If you are doing anything other than that, if you're too rough with it you're going to get some frizzy, there are a couple that got frizz just from getting tangled and it's already starting to stick. As you can see it's already starting to cotton stick. I could imagine tomorrow that it's going to probably start the whole snagging and matting okay, not too bad, I'm going to try not to mess with it too much. I may cut it because it is a lot of hair for me just on a regular everyday basis. This is not what I do walk around. Take my kids to school. With this, I don't that's just not what I do, I'm more than likely cut this down, but I'm not taking it out. I thought I was gon na have to take it out just in case I didn't like it. You know there was too much, but I am going to work with this hair and not tonight, but tomorrow, probably I'm gon na work, this hair and try to do some kind of cute little style, i'ma. Okay, probably I'm going to cut it to about here and maybe layer it or something like that, but this is how long it is. Okay, after you take it out, that's the length it did get a little bit longer. Okay, as you can see it's past the so you know it got a little bit longer as I released the twist, but you need to understand this and I'm really. I really hope you guys can see this like so pretty so pretty. I need to leave it alone now. My braiding pattern would have been different, like I wouldn't have all this space here. Had I not installed the twist initially, because the knots on the twists were really big, so you couldn't really see. You know that there was a space between the braids. You actually need to space your braids down your anchor braids down further apart because the not on the actual twist is big, but once you take it a loose, you know it's still kind of big, but it doesn't look as bad because the hair texture matches the Knot so well, like you can't it's not bad at all, and obviously you can't do the invisible parting method. You know because you're installing the twist, so you really have to be strategic when you're doing your anchor braids. If you plan to wear it down like this, you really want to space. You know go ahead and make two of your braids spaced closer together. If you know you're going to you know, take it a loose like this now, however, I didn't do that. So obviously I have this gap right here: okay, cuz. I didn't plan for a part. I just applied the twist without thinking about the takedown, but so that's what I would suggest to you guys is to if you want a part and you're going to take it down to space your braids at least two of them closer together, so that you don't Have a huge gap, you know after you take it down, but if you're interested in this hair, I got it from elevate Styles calm. Is that a surprise? The link is in description box down below. If you want to check out the hair, see the different color options that are available, you want to buy it right now. You know I'm saying go ahead and do that they do have ombre colors I this was. This is going to look amazing in the ombre. I'M like so mad, I don't have the ombre, you know I'm saying they have ombre 30. They have ombre burgundy. They have over 27, where it's dark at the in this and hombre, like I'm, going to go order me some or something because do you not see like if this was my if this was my every day flow like if this is what I did try to Be all over that hombre all all for it. I still want it. I still, I probably going to get it just because you know I I it's just so pretty I just want to just want to. I just want it saying you see what this hair is going to means. You see how it's just putting a little personality on me right now. Do you see what is happening? The transformation like stop it. So that said, you guys if you're not following me on instagram, follow me on instagram, so I will see you guys in the next video. Thank you so much for watching. Please
