Hey y'all today, I'm doing crochet braids and I did a very simple pattern. I just braided all of my hair straight back and on the left side. I braided that braid all the way back, but I made it like an anchor braid and I braided it across the back of my head and on the right side. I braided that braid straight back, but I just connected it all by sewing it down, I'm using some Jamaican Bounce hair, and this is by sensational sensational and it's the African collection. This hair is 50 inches and I saw some for like 26 inches. I really should have gotten that hair you'll see why in the end, but this is what it looks like when you take the plastic off, so I'm just going to take my crochet hook and I'm going to add the hair and pull it through. Now I'm doing the knotless method in the back because I felt like I might want to put it up. So I'm going to just take half of the hair and pull it through the loop so that on the other side it will be knotless and you won't be able to tell that there crochet braids. So again I put my hook through my braid with the latch open, close the latch after you bring attach the hair, and then you pull it through only pull half of the hair through that loop that you just made. This makes the hair Notley okay. So now I'm about halfway done and when I got to this point, I didn't do the knotless method. So that means I just pulled all of the hair through that loop, because I didn't care whether or not a knot was showing because you're not really going to see the middle part of my hair and as I get to the front now, when you see the Bigger braids on my head, I'm gon na be using the regular method, I'm not concerned about the nuts, because that's not where I'm going to be. Having my part where I have my part, I connect it to braids in the front and just braided it straight back. You'Ll see a little bit better once I get to that side, so I'm not worried about knotless, okay. So here we are right here. This is going to be the nutless method, and this is where my two braids are connected. I'M pulling half of the hair through the loop, as you can see a little bit better. I hope half of the hair through the loop and when you bring the hair down there won't be a knot. So what I like to do is I like to take the hook. I like to point the hook toward the other braid I like to point it towards the opposite: braid, so that we can assure that the knot is on the right side so that we can assure that it's covered. When you see that I go to the other. Braid I'll be pointing the hook, the opposite way as such. I really hope that makes sense, so you just point the hook towards the other braid. You know attach your hair and then pull half through so that the knot is on the inside and that's all I'm going to be doing. I did I did not list on the side and also in the middle, because I probably wear a middle or a side. Part but mainly a middle part, but I wanted to have the option of wearing both. So I did the side in the middle, but I didn't show on camera me doing the middle, but I did it the exact same way. I just did my side part, and this hair is way more than I thought it was going to be. Like I said, I should have gotten the 26 inch hair, but I'm gon na take my Old, Faithful scissors and I'm just gon na go ahead in there and start shopping. I didn't even know how long I wanted it. It was just this hair was really distracting me, so I just start just start, you know and then once it starts getting shapes, then I'm able to see a little bit better where I'm going with it, but I just needed to get a lot of this off. My head, because it was way too much: it's not fall, yet it's not winter and I'm not trying to be sweating like that with all this hair. Looking like a lion, no - and I would advise you like if you have expensive shears - that you use to cut your hair with. Please do not use this on synthetic hair. I don't even use my extensive shears on Brazilian hair simply because you can throw your shears that way, so I'm just using some regular, all-purpose scissors just to cut this hair because I'll need to be missing on my good shears. So I'm just going to feed it through and cut it as I see fit. I did use three packs of this hair. Please check the description box to find out any other information about the hair I used or anything else Thanks. I ended up cutting a little bit shorter than that, as you can see here, but that is the finished. Look. Thank you all for watching. I will see you in my next video bye. You

Iphy's Kitchen: Good job Girl i good hair style Very Pretty yon you
Rosalind Dean: This is great. Getting mine done next weekend! Never thought about going knotless in the back. Thank you!! Question. And this may be silly, but do you think this could work with kinky curly human hair, or would that cause problems? Of course cutting it out after 6 weeks wouldn't make sense lol. Could it be taken out without cutting? Just wondering what would happen if kinky human hair were used
tgbarbie5: What did you do to keep the hair from tangling/getting frizzy when you separated some of the pieces? This came out really good

Winona Wilson: Thank you for showing me how to do the anchor braid and the technique for only taking half the hair through if I want to put the hair up
Jasmena Flowers: Nice. I just got my hair done in a similar style. I wanted the person who did my hair to use the knot less method at the top,but she said she couldn't because there was no way to secure it. How did you get it to stay secured without making a knot?
