4 Cute Braided Hairstyles For Short Hair

Hey guys, what's up welcome back to my channel so today I'm going to show you four easy: braided, hairstyles and they're. Like intermediate, I wouldn't say that they're super easy, but I'm gon na teach you guys how to do them. So hopefully you guys can become a pro at it, but these are just four braided hairstyles that are really cute to wear to class or any occasion. If you want to kind of dress up your look so without further ado, let's jump in the first hairstyle is just your basic French braid and we're doing two french braids for this look. What I'm going to do is I'm gon na part, my hair down the middle, it's kind of hard to do with a brush, but I don't have a comb so yeah that looks pretty Center, so part your hair down the middle and then you're just gon na Put up one side because we're not paying attention to this side, yet we're just gon na focus on the other side, so this side. So what you want to do when you're, first starting a French braid, this can be kind of tricky you're gon na take three sections and you want to kind of make it like a triangle at the top of your head. So this being one corner another corner and then back here being the other corner, so you're gon na take one piece: that's the very tip of the triangle right here: one! That'S on this side and one that's on this side and now since you're braiding it backwards. You'Re gon na want to take the bottom piece, bring it over the middle one and then cross the back one over that one. So you should just be like weaving them like this, then, when you bring the piece of hair over again you're going to take another piece with it, so the hardest part, I would say, is making sure that you're not getting the pieces confused. So you just want to keep adding a new piece every time and then tighten it, bring it to the center bring another. So now I'm holding it at the center, I'm not bringing it all the way over yet and then adding another piece to it. Now, keeping that in the center, so I'm gon na bring another piece over, and I brought my hair with it, bringing that to the center trade places with the one that was in the center and bring this one over bring more hair to the center pull on The bottom line take the top one, bring it to the center trade places, pull the bottom one to the center grab more hair. Take the top one grab more hair, pull it to the center bottom. One grab more hair, pull it to the center top one grab. More hair pull it to the center, it's really just about taking the bottom and top pieces and pulling them to the center, and then the third one will just alternate on its own. So don't worry too much about the three pieces again, I'm just following the shape of my head, bringing the pieces to the center and then this last little piece tag on to that one and then once I don't have any more hair to add, I just braid. It down regularly like this and secure it with my little elastic. If you have short hair, it can be kind of hard because some of the layers start to like poke out of the braid. But if you don't like that, you can secure the elastics a little bit further up so now I'll. Just do the other side like this two and three we have a top middle and bottom we're going to take the top one, bring it to the center bottom. One bring it to the center top one and bring it to the center, but wait but wait. We have to add hair, so I'm going to take a little piece of hair bring to the center. With that piece hold it take the bottom hair and bring it to the center top hair and bring it to the center wait. We got add hair and you guys will notice that I've turned my head kind of just cuz. It makes it easier for me to see what I'm doing so, bringing that to the center and you guys see what I mean by bringing it to the center, so I'm taking it, I'm bringing it in between the other pieces and just keep going down following that Same pattern: I've been repeating now for about like three minutes, but it's probably annoying and stuck in your head. So here's the first hairstyle just two basic French braids and I hope my instructions were easy to understand. Okay, so for the next hairstyle we're gon na keep the middle part so again, we're gon na start in the corner and hair this time we're adding a lot smaller pieces of hair because we aren't trying to go down the head. It'S more about a little petite braid and then once we get to here, we're going to braid it down, and you want to make sure that you're switching the angle of the braid from back to down. Otherwise your braid will literally stick out straight to the side. Like that elastic and secure, I might have to go back over this piece with the flat iron. Then we're gon na do the exact same thing. On the other side, you you secure it, and if your hair is anything like mine, which it likes to stick out just kind of bend, the braid to go down and here's the look - and this is really nice for if you want to keep your hair out Of your face - and you don't want it all the way up, so this just keeps your bangs or whatever you have also, if you're trying to grow out your bangs and they're an awkward length, this is a good way to keep them out of your face. Okay, so for this next style we're doing a headband braid so for this you'll want to take it from your like right behind your ear right here. Up all the way around your head tell your fingers to meet pull that section away from the rest of your hair, and then you want to take the rest of your hair and pull it back into a ponytail. So you should have all this separated and the rest of your hair in a ponytail. So now you're gon na take your head, and this is the drinkie break. You can see all the way over like this we're gon na start on this side and it's kind of like braiding upside down. If you remember the pattern that I taught you earlier, you can kind of imagine what it would look like if you were standing over here and doing it on someone else. So you just have to like not think too much about it and you'll be able to do it. So I divide it into three sections always bring the outside one into the center. This is probably the trickiest one. I'M gon na take this back. These are not easy, but once you get it around the head pass this first part it starts to get a lot easier. You here's the hairstyle. This is probably one of the more difficult ones as far as getting it started, but once you get to like here, it becomes a lot easier because you end up braiding down rather than like upside down, so but just getting it started is kind of difficult. So you guys can always cover them piece with your hair too. If you felt like it doesn't look so good, but I promise you do not give up just keep trying and it'll get easier, and this is really nice. If again, you want to keep up your bangs or if you have an event, I actually used to wear my hair like this, a lot for cheerleading or dance team, because I think braids are really common, because it's a nice way to keep your hair out of Your face and also have kind of a style going on, rather than just a regular ponytail, so yeah, okay, so for this last hairstyle this is probably a little bit more creative. What we're gon na do is we're gon na take this very top layer. So just right by the part and bring it up, I'm prejudiced, you probably want mini hair ties that are clear instead of black, but I don't have any clear ones. So I'm just gon na use black. What we're gon na do is we're just gon na. Do a very small little braids just coming down besides your head, bear with me itis. I wish I had clear. Hair ties I'll probably end up just taking the hair tie out, because this just looks at roaches yeah. I think I'm just going to keep it without the hair tie, because I just do not like how this looks and you can do more around your head, but this is kind of the idea of it and it looks kind of better at this. Braid is kind of big, but it looks. It looks better when your hair's, like super pen straight because it just like I don't know the braids, just look cooler, but you can do more in the back your head to underneath wherever, but I just think it's kind of a cute way to dress up, like Normal just sleek straight look: are you guys?
