Coi Leray Inspired Cornrows. Protective Styles For Relaxed Hair.

Hi everybody welcome back to my channel um. Today, i'm going to be doing another hair video about coil array, inspired cornrows if you are interested stay tuned, so literally i'm just jumping straight into the video i'm just starting off parting, my hair in pretty large sections from ear to ear and i'm going around the Back of my head, rather than over the top. Hopefully that makes sense but you'll see the visual here in a little bit and what i think i'm gon na do is i'm going to use my rubber bands just to hold the sections, because i feel like sectioning. It off first kind of helps to like get your motivation going, so you can be like. Oh all, we have seven more left. Oh, i only have three more left. I feel like, if you section as you go, it's just gon na be doing the most and then i feel like it's more like stressful, because you feel, like you have so much more to do all right, we're going to make sure they're detangled ouch. Can you see thank you and really they're all the colored ones, so it even makes it more fun, which color is this one? Of course i just got a black one, the first time around, but got a blue one. Oh i'm just blowing it up. Today, i'm kind of rocking like this, so what i really want to do is i want to try to do it using as much of my natural hair as i can um much as my real hair as i can and then just add, crochet hair towards the Bottom is my goal, so let's keep going and i'm stop talking so much because i know y'all, it's a quick and easy video, so i got y'alls back. So i think we have two four five, seven, six, seven, eight nine. We have nine braids that we're gon na do all right, so i'm just gon na start by putting these up in a ponytail okay. So, just starting with this section in the back, i'm going to be using jam and literally i'm just going to apply it around the perimeter of the entire section. So around all four sides of the section i'll be applying the jam. Okay and then i'm just gon na go back in with a rat tail comb to make sure everything is nice and smooth nice and detangled as well. I just like to get my hair ready since, when i'm in the middle of the braid, it's not gon na work, trying to open the package, but anyway, the hair that i'm using is sensational and it's pre-looped crochet braiding hair, deep wave, eight inches um, but this Is maybe i should take it out of the so it's sensational and it's pre-looped and it's eight inches and in the color two and it's the wave, that's what i'll be using, because i don't want too tight of a curl. So hopefully it actually comes off as a curl, instead of just like a little half crescent or whatever. I think i'm only going to do like two per braid okay, so i'm just going again with my rat tail comb, sectioning off a really small section. Just so i can kind of get the braids started, so i split this small section into three parts and kind of just box sprayed it kind of like just started off like a one two. If that makes sense, y'all know what i'm trying to say again. This is not a tutorial, it's kind of like a do. Your hair with me or watch me do my hair kind of video. It'S not quite a tutorial um. If you all do want a tutorial of how to french braid, then there are plenty of videos out there on youtube. I personally am not the greatest at explaining things, so you just kind of have to watch so now that i have gotten to the base of my braid, i'm going to start adding in the crochet hair and just kind of feeding it in little by little piece By piece - and i think for the majority of this style, i added maybe three or four pieces of crochet hair to each braid, and i really ended up only using one full pack of hair. I will leave the link um as to where you can get the hair from in the description box, but yeah you'll see that it did come with like two bundles. I guess you can call it and i did end up using the whole pack. The two bundles and then i just, went in and secured it with a rubber band. I liked how it looked um, but then i was like. Let me comb it out and make the curl more defined, and i liked it so now we're just going to get started on the other side and so off camera. I did the shea butter for moisturizing and then i also did the perimeter of the section with the jam. Just like i did the other braid that um i already did i'm just doing the same, but i just thought for the length of this video. I would just jump to the end and then i'll come back once i do the braids in the front all right y'all. So i'm back, and i thought i would do these last two front pieces with you all um, i'm not sure how i feel about it. Like my braid game is improving, but i don't know i almost feel a little felicia like like bye felicia, but no, so this is all that i have done turn it this way for y'all. So i don't know, i don't know, but i at this point at this point i just got ta dedicate so decided. I'M gon na do the last two braids with y'all. Oh, you know i got ta use my handy dandy, shea butter, i mean whatever shea butter. You, like some people like the natural one. Sometimes all you can find is the pre-packaged americanized one, but whatever i'm just talking, but anyway, um moisturization, y'all moisturization. I cannot stress it enough. My ends aren't extremely dry, but i just love to do the moisture. So at this point, i'm probably getting on y'all's nerves, but i use the jam for the perimeter or the sides of this section. It just gives it a more polished, professional look in my opinion, and especially when your grip game is not on fleeky poo like mine, yeah jam will help you fake it until you make it because it makes it look just more sleek for some reason, but anyway Go in with the comb make it even more sleeky swag it press it kind of like when i applied my relaxer in my other video just go through and smooth it, and then you just start by sectioning off a really narrow section. Detangle detangle detangle makes it easier to braid less stressful for certain, so just split it into three sections as if you were just starting a plait, and i think here i did one rotation and then started picking up hair, and so it kind of helps to like Tug on it and then just tuck, your fingernail in there to kind of get that stitch. Braid effect but, like i said grip game is on weak, so yeah ensuring that you snuggle your finger in there to get that stitch. Braid, look is definitely the best move to make hmm do this piece is my real hair, so, okay, so that is it it's pretty simple, i would say um, so i'm just gon na go ahead and just do the same to the other side, uh and again, For the length of this video, i am just going to cut through it all right, so i'm all done. I put on a little bit of bronzer and highlight, and i even did my edges a little bit and i was like i'm still feeling like felicia, so i went to the hair store and i got some hair accessories um, so we're gon na see. If we can spice it up a little bit, give it a little bit of path, um, so yeah i've. Never i've never done this thing on like cornrows. I'Ve always just done it like on box braids, so we're gon na be learning together, or maybe you already know, but y'all gon na watch me learn like if i say um, so i'm just going to cut it open. So i think i kind of want to start where it's putting some of the cuffs at the bottom, like where the rubber bands are so i'm going to open it up. Okay, this might give me egyptian vibes um and then so. Those are like long cuffs and i have some wider cups. Let me see if i can put it down a little bit lower. I promise y'all i'll be on point with the nails. Next video, you know we all go through it. Sometimes, okay and i'm trying. I think the string would be cute on the under one on the one that's like by my ear they're gon na be cute right here all right, so let me see me open it. I wonder how much strength he and it didn't give me that much string. So i feel like we should just do it on those two. Oh, but it's stretchy. I didn't know it was stretchy. I didn't tell me so i think i'm just gon na fold it in half and cut it right down the middle two strings for two braids, or should i do it without these ones? I almost feel like i want to do the string on this one on the outside, so this is how we gon na do it. You know i brought this on for a reason: come on guys have faith in yourself. Y'All, don't know how to use a crochet hook. This is not a tutorial all right. Okay, that's cute! I think i'm gon na take this one out. Whatever i do to one side, i'm gon na just do to the other, so it's symmetrical so mommy deaf truth. We are going to try the string all right he's going to pull one side through here we go, i guess the key would be to just make sure it stays. Even i guess we just do a lot of shoelace huh under at the bottom. You see those strings are showing at the bottom looking at it, so i will spare you all on watching me put all of the cuffs in the back. It'S pretty self-explanatory. They literally are cuffs, so just pull it open, put it on your hair and pinch. It shut so i will be back at the end with the final product. Okay, so i'm gon na give you guys a 360 of the final product and again my grip game ain't on fleeky poo, yet, but i'm getting there slowly but surely so y'all grow with me during this youtube channel. So i'm excited, and so here's what it looks like all the way down which i actually learned to like. I haven't worn down yet, though, but you're also able to wear it up in a style in a ponytail, and i did the two braids in the front down and kept it in a ponytail in the back, and i really like that style as well.
