Braiding Styles With A Hair Weave : Hair Styling Tips

Hi I'm T Cooper, I'm in New York, City, makeup artist, hair stylist and I'm also co-founder a beauty and grooming company Metro. Look today we're going to talk about braiding hairstyles with hair weave. Today, I'm going to show you how to do one of my favorite braiding hair cells with hair weave, I think, is really really elegant. Usually I'm a fan of doing dues to the side, so you can see it from the front or the back, but this one is so pretty that I'm going to show it to you anyway, even though that's not my favorite way to do it. But it's such a pretty hair sounds really simple to do so for this you're going to need a brush or a comb whatever you want to use to just comb through the hair and get all the tangles out some hair spray, of course, bobby pins and clear Elastics, so what we're going to do going to turn it to the side, so you can see what I'm doing it. She'S already got a a middle part in the front of her hair. So you want to start with the middle part, and then you can just go down. You can section it with the tail of your comb. I have a bad habit of using my fingers, so you know it's kind of a do as I say, and not as I do kind of thing, but you should use a comb, but I use my finger. But if you do with your finger, do linga and then we're going to start our braids relatively low and we're just going to do two three strand braids. So if you know how to braid hair, you can do this and they don't have to be particularly neat. You just need to keep the consistency throughout the braid and if the hair is different lengths like hers areas, you see little pieces are flying out. That'S fine! I actually love that, because I think it makes the hair more romantic and it gives it some texture. I'M not a stickler for that sort of thing, but if you are, then you can just like put some gel on your hair before you even start. The braiding process and that'll help eliminate it or you could even pin the hairs in place with a bobby pin or a hair pin, but for me it's fine and that kind of girl. I like a little mess on this side. The same exact thing saying she's got some fringe that wants to pop out and that's loose and romantic. It'S really gorgeous and I don't have a problem with it. But if you do you could gel it back spray it back or pin it back. However, you would like it best: whatever is going to tame it or you can use some styling wax or pomade cause. You see, you got little hairs here that pop it out. For me, that's really no problem at all. I love that sort of thing. Sometimes after I braid it, I run a comb or brush over it to make little hairs pop out, because I think it looks dope so we're almost at the bottom and we're going to secure this off with a clear elastic. So now what you're going to do is you're just going to take one of the braids wrap it over the bottom and then wrap it again and then pin it in place and pin it in the middle as well. Just so that it won't move. And then you take the other one and you do the exact same thing. You wrap it over the bottom and then over the top, and then you kind of tuck the end in so that you won't see it and then you pin it in place as well. And then you pin the side too just to make sure that it's not going to go anywhere use as many pins as necessary to make sure that the style is secure and I'll show you what the back looks like and that pretty. That was nice. That was simple, it was easy, it was gorgeous and it was quick, I'm C Cooper and thank you so much for watching you
