Testing The Beard Braid Hack 5 Different Ways! Long & Medium Hairstyles!

Hey guys so for today's video, i want to test out the braid beard. If you don't know what a braid beard is, it's where you braid in the front and then you take the braid and you pull it to the back of your head. This braid was popular, probably like five or six years ago, so i'm actually friends with the person that started the trend. Yeah my hair was way too short back in the day to try it. It was breaking. It was very thin and now my hair is a bit longer a bit healthier, so i figured let's try it now. So that's what this video is going to be about today, so let's go ahead and get started. Okay, so i think for these hairstyles i'm actually going to part my hair down the middle. So i've seen comments on my videos in the past where people are unable to braid in the back of their head because of a disability or because of surgery or some type of medical condition, and there are some people as well. That just cannot get the hang of braiding in the back of their heads. I think braiding in the front and then taking it to the back is a great alternative. So when you braid in the front bring it to the back, it's not going to look the same as if you were just braiding in the back. But again it is a good alternative. So we're just going to try a couple styles that i would normally do in the back of my head in the front and just see how it looks. I'M going to start out and i'm just going to grab two sections on one side. And then one section on the other side and i'm just going to do a regular three strand braid, so i'm going to take the outside strand cross it over the middle. Take the other outside strand cross it over the middle. Now i'm going to take hair from my side, add it into my left side and then cross them both over the middle. I'M going to add in hair to my right side, just grabbing a strand out here, adding it in crossing over the middle. Now, with my outside strand, i'm going to add in a section just add them together cross it over that middle strand. Take my outside strand add in a section just like that cross it over the middle and we're just going to keep doing that so add in a section cross it over the middle. So i'm just going to keep adding in hair crossing it over the middle, and this would be really great to wear too. You know in the winter to keep your face warm finish up with a regular three strand braid. So then this is what it looks like. I'M just going to kind of fluff it out a little bit just kind of stretch it and that's it. That'S a tutorial. I'M just kidding now we're going to flip it over our head you're, just going to kind of spread it out a little bit and you're literally just going to flip it up over, make sure it's not stuck on your ears. So here it is, and i'm just going to flip it back. Okay and now we'll see what it looks like from the back. Personally, i would pull out some hair, like i always do so. You can see it's kind of like droopy um, it's not as tight as like a normal french braid would be in the back of your head. It is a lot looser, but i still think it's cute. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below as you're watching this so yeah. This one is the french braid. So let's try a dutch braid. It'S going to again same process. Do two sections on one side, one section on the other side like this now, instead of crossing our strands over we're going to cross them under, so i'm going to take my outside strand cross it under the middle. Take my opposite outside strand cross it under the middle and now we're adding in a section to each outside strand. So here's my section adding it in crossing it under the middle section, adding a section to my outside strand crossing it under the middle section and i'm trying to make sure i do it like dead center. Maybe i was off center a little bit when i did that first, one um but yeah just keep going so add in hair to the outside strand cross it under the middle add in hair to the outside strand cross it under the middle, keep going add in Hair to the outside strand cross it under the middle add in hair to the outside strand cross it under the middle. This is i'm not gon na lie. This is honestly making me kind of hot it's like 90 degrees in florida. Today we actually keep our air on like 80.. That'S what we kept it on in indiana and we just kind of moving to florida that didn't change us. We kept. We keep our air at 80, which i think we're nuts for, but it keeps our bill down. Um so i feel like if we had our air any lower. Our bill would just be outrageous because our bill is kind of high now. Okay, so keep going just add in here to the outside cross that under the middle and then i have one more section. Add in here to the outside cross under the middle and now i'm just kind of finishing off into a regular three strand, braid: okay, i'm just going to kind of fluff it out a little bit now, let's kind of gather it and flip that beast over pull Out my bangs okay, now let's do an elastic hairstyle! So i'm going to, i think, how i do this. I'M just going to take two pieces on each side and just combine them together, tie it off with a clear elastic, i'm just going to keep doing that. So add in hair from each side, pull them together, tie it off with a clear elastic. So this is going to kind of mimic a fishtail braid, maybe we'll see so we're just doing these right on top of each other, just kind of layering them so again. Take two sections from the outside tie them with a clear elastic. If you guys can see my nails, they're fake they're, actually from, can you hear that um they're actually from target? I don't have time to go to the nail salon. Unfortunately, don't really feel like spending the money either, and these are like seven dollars um. I know i was asked about that one time in a video. So that's what i do all right and then i'm just going to once i have all of my hair tied. I'M just gon na tie the ends together, i'm just going to kind of stretch it down and then just flip it up and then over. Okay here is this one that one did not turn out cute. I don't know where i went wrong, but uh. No, so i'm going to take my hair tie, it take my hair and then i'm just gon na open up that little hole like this and i'm just gon na flip my hair through. Let'S do this one create a hole, flip, my hair through it, and then i'm going to tighten it just like that. Now, let's take it over, oh no, i can already tell that's not cute all right, so we're learning that we can only do certain hairstyles in the front. Okay, let's do a fishtail french fishtail. So i'm just going to take two sections one from each side. I'M going to slice off a small strand from one of the outside sections cross it over to the opposite section again: take off a small strand cross it over into the opposite section. So you always have two sections that you're working with now we're gon na slice off a small strand from one of our outside sections, but then add a piece of hair with it and then cross that over into the opposite section again: slice off a small strand And then you're going to add in hair to that section and then cross them both over to the opposite section: slice off a small strand, add in a section with it cross them both over into the opposite section. Then we just keep going slice off. A strand. Add in a section of hair cross them both over into the opposite section: slice off a small strand of hair, add in a section cross it over into the opposite section. One more time, slice off a small strand, add in a hair, add in the hair, add in a section of hair cross it both over to the opposite section, and now i'm just going to keep going. So now i'm just finishing off into a regular fishtail and now let's do the flipparoo. So that is the video i was just laying out by the pool and remembered i needed to film an outro. So that is what we're doing now. Let me know which hairstyle was your favorite in the comments below there's a ton of different braiding variations that you could do. Besides what i showed you today, you could just do regular three strand, braids twisted braids rope braids. It doesn't have to be all the way down like i did just do you know small sections, take them back, but yeah, but yeah. That was it.
