How I Maintain My Curly Crochet Braids | Tips & Tutorial

What'S poppin gang, it should girl, Fionna whoa and I'm back with another video. So, as you guys can see in a title, this is a video on me telling you guys how I managed this crochet here and what I did to revive it, and just you know, keep it looking as best as possible. Considering like it is synthetic hair - and you know so - I don't know if you uh know but whatever so, if you guys want to see how I manage this hair, then just keep on watching um. I haven't done anything to this hair today. The only thing I've done today is kind of adjust, my baby hairs or whatever um. I don't really know anyways, okay, so pretty much to revive this hair, I use water um. This can too leave-in conditioner um this silk elements. What is this foaming? Styling lotion so mousse, but by silk elements, and I also take a little bit of eco styler gel okay, so you definitely don't need a towel. I usually do this in my bathroom, so I'll see that you're gon na do is or what I do is. I kind of take sections and the thing is like you: don't want to pull hair part that doesn't want to be pulled apart. Cuz like, of course the hair is going to get. I mean, I guess you would say like tangled in matok but like if you try to comb through it and stuff like that, it's not going to work. I'Ve also seen people use like whities combs. I just refer use my fingers because that's just like the best way for me, so I'm going to take this section right here. So what you're gon na do is you're gon na pretty much just drench the section in water. Okay, so the hair is like drenched. Every strand has water on it and then what you're going to do is you're just going to pull the pieces apart and if they don't come apart most the time. It'S because there's not water on it or it's still kind of dry. So all you have to do is just spray, some more water, and then this is how I like detangle. So the piece doesn't want to come apart or doesn't want to lead the section that it's in don't try to pull it apart, because and that's like when the hair kind of gets like just messed up - and this is just like a great way to kind of Redefined your crochet braids, so I'm going to do this all around so the first thing I'm going to the first thing I do period is just the water, so I'm going to do the water in sections all around part on side note so this here you don't Have to do it in sections I was just saying like if you do in sections it's easier. I kind of just like put the whole thing in water and rinse it all in water and then kind of just like finger pull stuff. Apart, come on audiological brookings on baby, I'm on top down and along that's important is when you do the back section over here, because the back is going to be the most like as US and see the most. I don't know if you guys can see, but the most like matted part. Because look, you know it's rubbing, so you just want to make sure you pull it to the front and not try to do it from like the back side like this and then pull apart. That way so like that, and it's not going to like, become completely detangled, but you just don't want it to form into a ball and then just like completely getting added. So you just want to be able to. You know find some definition in it, but the water definitely helps and then like, if it's still hard, just continue to spray water until you're able to come, get the complete separation or is lease at least as best as possible. It changed house. Anything is um. Just remember not to start here like just make sure you kind of start at the bottom. Gah get my baby Kevin. I do get by mighty fine shut, it get it Phillip, I'm like a pro, but it should I'm ready to play. It'S looking like it's about time before ever lining up, don't wan na hear about your horoscope or what's the future shut up so now that the hair is um wet and I do tangled it as much as possible with water. This is what I'm going to take. The can, oh, I don't know, I did this, but I'm going to take the can conditioner leave-in conditioner and I'm just going to pretty much do the same thing that I did with the water um. You can do both these together, like drench it and then take the conditioner. I just like to do it separately. So I know like okay cool everything's, you know pretty much detangle gon na take some in my hand just gon na rub it together and I'm just going to you know, apply it to the hair, just like so and ah, Oh so, when you're doing the conditioner Or pin the conditioner and make sure that you like rubbed it in the hair and there's no flakes, are you know like excess in one area? Just make sure it's cut it all around and that's just um pretty much like help define, I wouldn't say, condition the hair, but it definitely does make it softer because the hair isn't you know as soft as it was when I first got it, but I kind Of like it now that it's not as soft and silky as it was because it's starting to look a little bit more realistic, I mean it looked realistic and natural in the beginning too, but, like you know, your hair just naturally is going to freeze and stuff. Like that, so the next thing that I do is, I just take some mousse and I you I usually I use the mousse or the foaming styling lotion, whatever you want to call it mostly to define like the top girls, so I usually just apply to the Top, but I also kind of like throw it everywhere, um, but it's definitely just to hold kind of like the frizz for me and just like position, the hair to like the direction that I want it to be in. So it's all personal preference vibes prefer to put it on top and then just a little bit like towards the ends to define the ends. Okay, so adding gel is optional um. You don't have to do this part. It'S it's just kind of like something that I do like. I don't know like. Sometimes your throw stuffing just because um I don't use a lot of gel at all. I only take so I just take like literally like this much so not a lot, and I kind of just rub it in my hand, rub it in and then kind of just like, ah just to help, maybe just hold the stuff. I don't know. I just feel like it's necessary there's, just like a light, pat on the hair, just to give it like the finishing touch finishing cold yeah. So that's pretty much it as far as how I revive the hair like in the morning. I usually do this like every two days. Well, I've been doing it every two days: okay, so another tip um that once I'm like done doing um the conditioner part is just making sure to see if there's any like flyaway strands that I need to cut, because when you're doing this, like you know the Hair is going to pull a little bit and you just wanted to have a clean cut so like anything like frizz, that's hanging more than it should is like something that I would cut or if a piece is like it doesn't have a curl anymore. It'S just straight I'll cut it out and I don't really care about cutting it out because, like there's other pieces to make up for it like, I can cut the excess frizz at the bottom of these curls just to make it look more clean and not so Frizzy so like this piece right here has an extra strand, that's straight, and it's long like for no reason - and it just goes straight so I'll just cut that just like that, and it's just to give it a clean look pretty much like you can just like Pull the hair and if there's not any excess strands, you just cut them off so like this piece is just a little bit too frizzy for me and it kind of just like hangs. So what I'll do is I'll, just cut it and then make sure there's. None hanging so I'll. Take that and I'm just really just cutting anything that I feel is a little bit too frizzy or is going to cause more um matting. That'S pretty much! How I revive this hair and I'm just make you look alive again, because, obviously you know it like. I said it is synthetic hair and it can only do so much so um. Hopefully that was understandable as far as a few tips that I would recommend just to like you know, keep this hair longer than a week a week or two weeks is definitely where Bonnie um. When you go to sleep, a sip on it and definitely don't forget, because I caught myself like forgetting - and I feel like that's another reason I just forgot for two days, but it definitely was just like two days of should have been, whereupon it pretty much. I feel like that was another reason why I probably feel like the hair got matted at least in the back faster than it should have. I feel like, but it's not like completely mad like so I'm gon na fall apart or anything but definitely wear Bonnie. I still phone am, or I wouldn't even say, like sleep on a silk pillow like I would definitely just say, like keep the hair up in a bonnet. Another tip is trying to touch the hair. A lot like don't manipulate the hair too much because just like, manipulating a um just pretty much helps the hair. Our forces there to kind of like tangle with each other, and you don't really want that. The thing is: don't um keep your hair in like a style for too long. So if you're gon na put it up in a ponytail like keep it up in the ponytail or whatever, but for like the day and then make sure you take it out at night um I hit my. I had my hair in a ponytail um for like two days cuz. I was lazy and it was just like way too much to like make sure like the pieces. Weren'T tangling, like it took time to make sure like every sure that I could get two separate separated where that's avoidable, if you just had it up for one day in the hair and even spend time together for too long, another tip is to always make sure You take care of, like your braids in your actual natural hair, underneath um. The way that I do that for myself, i use i just take oils or whatever the oil that i like to use is jamaican black, castor oil. This is the jamaican black, castor that I use. I got it from Sally's and I just have this little droplet thing that I got that had my Maher. Could you uh toil from Tarte, but I was like this is a great durable. It thing so um. I just put it in here, and I just drop it between my braids - that pretty much um wraps up everything for how I am maintaining this crochet hair, a braids style period.
