Hi everyone, its Beth and Sweetarts, hair, welcome back to another video today, I'm here with a lovely Bailey who's, seven she's, my youngest daughter, she's gon na be my hand model today and my eldest daughter, Abby. It'S gon na be the videographer there's a little hunt because were still in lockdown. I'M sure you guys are as well both you know we're allowed out more than once now for exercise, so you know we're getting there and I hope you guys are doing okay out there. I thought I'd do a useful video today. So I get a lot of requests about. Can you do a tight brain? How to do a typewriter always goes baggy at the nape of the neck. I always find it really hard to add the sections, so we're going to do it cheap today, Bailey, I'm gon na be cheetahs okay, so I'm gon na show you how to do a really tight Dutch braid or the Cheetahs way you get started: okay, okay, guys! So I've done a little bit off-camera. So basically all's I've done is I've done some really small little ponytails in its of elastics. Okay, now we're not doing a pull-through braid. We are going to be proper braiding, but what I've decided to do is to get these elastics really tight and I'm gon na continue these ponytails right the way to the nape of the neck, and that way, when I show you how to braid this bit, you Haven'T got a worry about adding the sections in yeah, I'm gon na worry about it being neat and not little bubbles in here and little bits sticking out and you haven't got to worry about it becoming baggy at the nape of the neck, because we're gon na Do all that work before we even start braiding, so the product I'm using today is the sexy hair. It wax spray just so that we don't have any flyaways. So I'm just gon na kind of Miss that I wish you all good and then I'm just taking my comb and just taking a really nice slice of hair, and then you guessed it you're just gon na pop a little elastic. Okay, guys I'm on my last little pony - and this is where I want you to get this last elastic right on the nape of the neck, so that the braid looks super tight. So I'm just gon na release those ponytails down guys, and that is what you're left with a little mohawk. So you can see I've decided to go up with my strands so instead of coming this way, I've gone quite severe and gone up to start with, because I'm going to try and give it a sort of mohawk braid, look, okay, guys, so we're basically going to Be doing a Dutch braid with all these sections here, but if we just started to breathe there, I feel like it's gon na sort. If you can see that elastic, it's just not gon na be the effect that we want. So I'm gon na try something. Now I don't know if it's going to work but bear with me, I'm just gon na get this little looped hair till now. You can just make a hole with your fingers if you want, but I'm just gon na push that through you hear that boom yeah and then I'm gon na feed that through like that and the aim of the game is to just pull this little pony back Through and then going to pull it all the way through like that, so what we've done is just kind of brought that hair forward, and now I'm gon na break this section into three okay, so normal Dutch braid, but without having to worry about smoothing all those Side bits out, so we've got our three sections see you got your middle section. One outside section is going underneath. That'S your new middle section, so this outside section is going underneath now we're going to just start adding in these ponytails. So my outside section comes underneath the middle and now with this pony tail, underneath I'm just gon na split it in half and add it in so that's not my new middle section outside section comes underneath rest of that pony tail, I'm gon na add it in Underneath this pony tail underneath is gon na go into to add half of it in take the other side underneath and add the other half and the nose I'm gon na. Do you guys is just get a little grip and just push that through the front bit there just to hold that braid down and now, if you want to, you can start to tease this braid up. So what are you doing guys? It'S just these little ponytails here is what you're, adding into this parade and, like I've said before how they said it too many times now, because we kind of dealt with these bits. We can pull this braid as much as we want and nothing is gon na become loose besides, it does scare Tagus, so just continue in that breakdown, guys taking those sections underneath start you're pulling out. If you want to. If you want that bigger Braves, and then we can do some more at the end following words of gold, I wish it three words. First, I always seemed so good huh everything for I'm talking so on these last few ones. Just make sure that you stay in at the nape of the neck, so just using that last ponytail to really anchor this braid down now what I want you to do, if you're making this brave bit, it's just spend a few minutes now, just slowly teasing out This hair baby is make bleed, but I feel like it's always pulling me into heartbreak. Don'T forget guys, you can also try and make a little bit of heights, so you can make it wider, but also in the center, by just teasing up those sections. You can also give this style a little bit of height, so it's like a 3d effect, so that is the end of our video. I hope you like it, and I hope you appreciate why I put the hair into ponytails and you can just do a normal touch braid, if you want to, of course, I'm gon na do a little spin for you. So thanks so much for watching guys. Hope you like mine and Bailey's cheats, braved and they forget to Like and subscribe and also if you are an Instagram and you do want to recreate this, please use the hashtag cheap, braids and then I can find it. And then, if I really like how come you post it and and so I'll see you next week - probably I'm not kind of keeping to my schedule at the minute. I'M just kind of you know video and when we can aren't we apps yeah. What'S your word? Gymnastic Center yet anyway, so I will be doing at the video I'm not quite sure when, but very very soon, thanks so much for watching and bye.
Comments
Farah Nuradeen: As a woman of color, I love watch how women around the world Braid hair. All cultures woman wear braids. Africa, Asia, India, Europe especially the Nordic people, Native Americans and of course Africa American women. Braids are just so pretty.
Axtell Ninty Two: Amazing! My wife wants me to braid her hair so I’m learning as much as I can :) very cool braid
523morena: I am a mother of one, a 19 yr old son. I always wanted to also have a daughter, so that I could braid her hair. although I never got the girl, my son just recently had me start doing his hair That he let grow out. Needless to say, we've started a whole new bonding session and I love it.
Je T’aime: I have been braiding from your channel for almost 10 years and I have really really come along way from barely being able to do a French braid to doing 3-D origami braids and triple hearts but this one has always stumped me. The tiny ponytails are definitely the kicker! Thank you so much
ImWatchingYou: Your daughter is so lucky. My mom never braided my hair when I was growing up. I wish someone would come over and make this mohawk for me. I love it. ❤️
Kassiopia Judkins: I love this look! Doing the little ponytails definitely makes it so much easier to control.. I used to have my mom do all kinds of braids on me when I was young. I'd wake up early for school so I could get her to do Dutch braids or French braids. I'd also have her do sponge curlers. She was amazing! I miss her. I wish I could have her come over and rub my face and head. That's how she got me to fall asleep when I was young, and I continued to have her do it my whole life. I'd just plop down next to her on the couch, lay my head on her lap, give her a smile and she'd start rubbing my head. I wish every girl had a mom as amazing as mine. I love you Mommy!
C K: This is a straight up warrior braid! Love it so so much!!

Erin Tillery: I love your channel! My 9 year old daughter has waist length hair and your tutorials have been so helpful! The faux hawk braid is one of my favorites and like your daughter, mine has thick, straight silky hair which makes braiding a little tricky sometimes. It looks like you’ve crimped your daughters hair a bit. Does that help with volume and give it a little grip so the hair isn’t so slippery? If so, what kind of crimping iron do you use and do you crimp when the hair is down or after you put it in the ponies? Inquiring minds need to know! Thanks again for your tutorials!
