I hope you enjoy this braid from Disney's Tangled! Rapunzel is my favorite princess and I was very excited to recreate her hair!
FAQ:
-Do I need to buy synthetic extensions if I already have a set of extensions?
--No, you can place your normal set of extensions into your hair before starting and just follow the braid steps. You may want some Kanekalon hair for the 2 smaller braids. For option 2, save your 2 largest wefts to wrap around your braid at the end.
-How will this look without extensions?
--It would still be pretty, but it would lack the drama of the original hairstyle.
-How heavy is this?
--Its pretty heavy lol, but it's not too bad;I would be okay wearing option 1 for a whole party. Option 2 isn't much heavier, but it is high maintenance because of the length and it's inclination to tangle.
-How long does this take?
--It depends on your level of experience. I did mine in less than 30 minutes, but you will want to practice once or twice before hand so you know what you're doing.
What I used:
-Synthetic Clip ins: http://goo.gl/HT7SJc

Hey everyone Kaylee here so today we're doing Rapunzel's braid and I could not be more excited because Rapunzel is my favorite Disney Princess of all time. I did two options. I have this one, that's a little bit shorter and then this one that is crazy long. You can totally choose which one you want to do and even if you don't think that you'll end up recreating this hairstyle, you should totally just watch the tutorial. So you can see how it's done. So, let's start by talking about what I use to create this hairstyle first, I have the synthetic weft of extensions. It has six wefts on it, so it's fairly thick and because they're synthetic they're very inexpensive. I ended up using two of these for option number one and three for option two. Next I use some Kanekalon hair. This is typically used for braiding, like cornrows micro twists and that kind of stuff, but today we're going to use it to fill out the hairstyle. It'S very voluminous but very light, so it's good for adding in some extra volume to your hairstyle. So for this I use two packs for option number one and three packs for option number two: what you're going to need for option number one is to split your two packs in half you're, going to do that by removing the hair from the cardboard and removing The band in the middle then very very carefully split that hair into this is completely free range hair. So it can end up everywhere. If you're not careful, then take another clear elastic and secure it in the middle so that you keep all of the hair together and you're going to do this with both packs of Kanekalon. If you're doing option number two just leave the third pack all together in one piece and then you're just going to add two halves of the Kanekalon to the synthetic hair wefts. And this is just going to help bulk out the braid without adding a whole lot of weight to it. So I'm just bobby thinning these two, the netting of the synthetic wefts of hair, and you can do more than one bobby pin if you need, but I just needed one for each one, and you can see this is nice and thick, especially compared to the normal Plain synthetic hair, so that's it for the extensions and now let's talk about some flowers. These are really easy. I have these from the dollar store and I just pulled the flowers off of the stem and then I went ahead and took the tip of the flowers and put it through a bobby pin. This creates a nice little flower bobby pin without any extra work, no glue, no mess, and it happens really really quickly. So just get yourself an assortment of flowers and put bobby pins through them and you're ready to go for that signature Disney Princess Bay. I am doing a little curl on either side of my part, I'm curling straight down and then I'm pulling the curl back up and pinning it to cool in place and I'm doing two curls on this side of my part and I'm going to do three on The other, because there's more hair on that side of my head, this is just to get that little swoop that she has. You don't have to do this if you feel like it's going to add too much extra to the hairstyle. I just really wanted to make sure this look is accurate as possible. Next, I'm going to add in my extensions by making a u-shape writer on the nape of my neck and clipping the rest of the hair up, I'm starting in the middle and placing the middle clip and then I'm radiating out to these side clips. You can always tease your roots for some added hold. I'Ve also found that teasing helps to make heavy extensions like these a little bit more comfortable to wear for a long period of time. So that's what they look like in, but I'm actually going to put another set in. So I'm making another u-shape just a little bit higher up and then I'm putting in my next weft of extensions, and this is the one with the extra Kanekalon added into it. As you can see, this is a lot of hair and I'm letting the rest of it down now, and I'm also going to let the clips out of the little curls that I had set up, then I'm just going to brush them out to get them nice And wavy and then I'm going to add a little bit of teasing to the roots, just to help the little swoop to be a little bit more spoopy. And I'm just sweeping them back and making sure that they're in the shape that I want them to be. And clipping them right there so that they stay. While we do the rest of the hairstyle, then I'm going to do the same thing on the other side, just do a bit of teasing smooth it out, make sure that it's arranged the way that I want it to be and then clip it in place. Then I'm finishing these off with some hairspray to make sure that they don't lose any of their shape. While we work on the rest of the hairstyle and now we're moving on to the lace, braids you're, going to take a section of hair, that's a couple inches back from your hairline and begin braiding under then you're just going to bring in hair from just the Bottom side, so you can see here that I'm going to take small pieces from right around my hairline and bring them in and then I'm going to braid the top side just over normally like you would do if you were doing a normal braid, then on the Bottom, I'm picking up more hair and then braiding it in and on the top writing it normally and continuing on so on and so forth. Until I have the hair, that's over the ear and a couple pieces just behind the ear into the braid, once that's done, I'm just going to braid four to five inches normally and then add in the Kanekalon hair. I'M putting that right behind the right and then splitting it into three so that it kind of joins the braid that we already have going so you're. Basically you're just going to add in hair to each section from the Kanekalon that we're adding in. And this is going to extend the braid, because for most of us our hair isn't going to be long enough to do what we needed to do. So, I'm just adding this in, even though it doesn't totally match my hair. It just kind of ends up looking like it goes with the ombre, so braid all the way to the end and then secure it with an elastic and then we're going to pin this right in the middle of your head, and I used quite a few bobby Pins because this is going to end up being rather heavy, then you're going to do the exact same thing. On the other side, I'm just starting a couple inches back lace, braiding ringing and we're only from the bottom and just small pieces from around your hairline. Once you've got over the ear and just behind the ear incorporated you're going to braid four to five inches normally and then include your Kanekalon hair again by lacing that just behind the brain and then splitting it into three so that it goes with the braid we've Already got going on then you're going to braid all the way down and secure your hair with an elastic. Then just take this braid to the middle of your head, like the previous one and use four to five bobby pins to keep it in place. And now it's time for the big braid start by crossing the two braids we've already done over your shoulders and then splitting the remaining hair into three begin by braiding. This normally starting on the right side, braiding the right side over and then braid the left side. Over now before you braid the right section over take the small braid from the right side and wrap it around your outside section, you're just going to wrap it right around, and then I put it back over my shoulder just to keep it out of the way, Because there's a lot of hair going on right now, then you're just going to braid that section over, like you, would have if we weren't doing anything special, so you're, just braiding it back over and then we're gon na do the same thing on the left side. So you're going to wrap the braid around the section and then you're just going to braid that section over just normally, as you would have done anyway, so once again, you're wrapping the braid around the outside section, putting it back over your shoulder and then raiding that Section over and again on the left side you're going to take that braid wrap it around the outside section and then braid that section over now. At this point, I couldn't ride anymore behind my back, so I went ahead and brought the braid over my shoulder, which, by the way, was a huge lifesaver, and so then I continued doing the exact same thing, just wrapping the braid around and then braiding the section Over it's very easy, and it's a nice way to kind of include this braid in a way, that's kind of similar to the way Rapunzel had her hair in the original Disney video. So you just continue doing that until you reach the end of your hair. Now I'm very gently pulling at each little link in the braid. I want to make sure that I get this a little bit more voluminous so that we match Rapunzel's volume, but you don't want to accidentally pull anything out. Then I'm going to take the clips out of my bangs because they are ready to go and going to wrap a little piece of hair around the band's that you can't see the elastic and now it's time for the flowers. These are great for disguising anything that went wrong in the hairstyle. So if you have a point where you don't like it make sure you put a flower over it, but I did was to choose like three areas and put groupings of large flowers there and then in between the large flowers. I put smaller flowers, and that was just what I thought looked good, but you guys can do whatever you want, go as crazy with as many or as few flowers as you want to use, and then I just added in some more around the top of the Braid just to make everything look beautiful and cohesive throughout the whole braid - and I just love this I was so excited. You can see here just dying to have this braid and it was so exciting. I just wanted to prance around the house like all day, so this is the first option and I think it's so beautiful and if you have the guts to pull it off, you have to try it now. If option one was not enough hair for you we're going to add some more length with option: two, I'm taking a pack of Kanekalon hair and then adding a bobby pin onto the middle rubber band of the hair. Then I'm just going to put that bobby. Pin right through the elastic of the previous braid, and then we already have that hair going. But I'm going to add another weft of extensions around that as well and just clip in the clips circling around the ponytail so that it kind of hides all the Kanekalon. From before and looks like a new ponytail, then to hide the band of the extensions I'm adding in more flowers right around the band, and that is it for adding on option two. You have a whole lot more hair. It makes your hair super long and you will definitely be a topic of conversation that day with this perfect Rapunzel hair. So that's it for this tutorial. I love Rapunzel. I love this braid. I hope you guys have really enjoyed this and thank you for sticking with me to the end of the video. I love you guys, and I will see you guys on Friday with my next video well bye.

RiLee Andros: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KANEKALON HAIR IDEA. I dressed up like Elsa for a Halloween themed piano recital tonight and I really wanted to have the long, thick Elsa braid but my hair is really thin and I didn't want to pay for extensions, but I watched this video yesterday then went out and bought some Kanekalon today and sort of used it like makeshift extensions to give me an Elsa braid and it was awesome. You are a life saver, I had never heard of Kanekalon before and never would have thought to use it but it worked perfectly and I had little girls asking me if I was the real Elsa, haha :)
EefjuH8448: This is amaaazing!!!!!
kady: I know it would probably be a stretch to ask but it's worth a try - would you be able to create Barbie Rapunzel's hair when she's going to the ball? Even though Tangled is a nice movie I just feel as if the Barbie Rapunzel is more original not to mention how I've always envied her hair in it. Thankyou if you can.
Ivy Jamlin: i would have braided the extensions as well to make it look like Repunzels in the actual film but it still looks stunning # love you <3
Elmnz: here'd you get the dress? It's beautiful!
The MadCatter: omg its soo pretty!!
Ying Yu Zhou: it look's so beautiful
Rebekah Johnston: This is AMAZING
Lailapatrick: What makeup are you wearing in this video? It looks beautiful!
Chris William: What if you braided the extra extension added and then just kept adding more and more extensions to get super long hair
Shakeva Jones: I LOVE IT
Sonya Loveday: that looks cool!
Beauty by Thais: wonderful!!
Preyasi Gaur: I have subscribed only recently and I really love the 5 minute ponytail routine, fake bangs and heatless curls. Honestly u look gorgeous in bangs. Your videos keep getting better and better and ur channel is one of the best in YouTube. The heatless curls worked for me and I am looking forward to amazing new videos.
sam207y: Ur the best one who did the braid perfect
Diya Beharie: She reminds me of Bridget Mendler...anyone else?
Cambria Lovett: i love it
Annie H: OMG IT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE REPUNZELS HAIR HOW DO U DO THAT I CAN BARELY DO A DECENT PONYTAIL
