Hi guys welcome back to my channel. I am starting out with freshly washed and blow-dried hair as usual, and the first thing I'm going to do is part my hair from ear to ear, because I'm going to be working on the top and in the back part of my hair separately. So, first, starting out in the back, I'm going to create one row of individual plaits at the nape. Next, I'm going to create a second row of individuals, the first plat I make I'm starting out by braiding from the corner and as I braid I'm going to pick up the end of the individual plat from the bottom and I'm going to add it into the Braid and once you're done, the corner of your nape should make a 90-degree angle, and here is what it looks like once: I've added all of the plaits from the bottom into the second row. Next, I'm going to make an individual plat on the corner of each side of my head right behind my ear. Now, that's done! I'M going to make another part from ear to ear and then that row will also end up being a row of individuals using those individual Platts as a guide, I'm going to start cornrow in my hair straight to the back, and while doing so, I am grabbing The individual Platts from the top and adding it into that corner, as well as the individual plat on the side, alright, once you're done with that, this is what your first cornrow should look like. Then we're going to move on to part in your second row. Number four: I'm start plating, I'm going to take my crochet needle and I'm going to insert the crochet needle in the first cornrow that I made and then I'm going to take the end of the individual plat from the corner and I'm going to crochet that through The first braid so that the end of it can be included in the next row whenever I start to braid down okay. So this is what you should have so far and I'm going to continue using that concept moving forward. So I'm going to now part for the third cornrow to be braided. But before doing so, I am going to take my crochet needle and I'm going to insert it into the braid adjacent to the area that I'm working on. But this time I'm going to pull the end of the first cornrow through the second corner row, so that once I make my third corner - oh it can't be included in that section. Alright, y'all. We are moving right along so next I want to again at the platform the bottom, so I'm going to take my needle and I'm going to thread the second individual platform, the bottom through the cornrows that I've made so that it can be included in the next Section and I'm basically, you want to continue to do that on both sides until I get to where I only have one more section of hair to braid and of course I don't want any loose ends hanging. So I'm going to take the remaining ends and I'm going to thread them so that the ends of it will again be included in the final cornrow that I'm going to make. Now that I've got all of those loose ends threaded so that they can be included. In my last cornrow, I'm gon na go ahead and start planning my hair, and what I'm done with that plat. It will leave me with one loose in so that loosed in I will thread through the rest of the cornrows until it is no longer visible. All right once I'm all done with the back. This is what it looks like. I have a very versatile, braid pattern that will allow me to pull my hair in a ponytail or wear a half-up, half-down style hey. I will be installing these wavy Bahama locks in 18 inches, I'm gon na start out by crocheting the hair at the nape and for the first two rows of individuals. I'M gon na be points in the needle up. Now, whenever installing crochet braids, it is important that you point the needle in the direction that you want the hair to fall, and when you do this, it puts the knot on the inside of the brain rather than on the outside. So whenever I pull my hair up in a ponytail, it will allow for a more seamless look and for the remainder of the back of my hair. I will be pointing the needle down and, like I said earlier, this will put the nut on the bottom side of the brain rather than the outside, of the braid, which will allow the hair to lay flatter alright y'all. I am all done with the back, and this is what I have so far. It looks very, very good. I can already tell that it's going to come out great once I finished the top. So when I pull my hair up, it gives me a very natural look in the back and it's not as obvious that I'm wearing crochet braids all right now. Moving on to the front the first roll on the side, I'm going to again make individual Platts all right for the next row. I'M going to use the zigzag parting method and, on all of my of my perimeter, I'm going to start out as individual Platts and then I'll connect the ends of those Platts into my cornrows. So here I'm parting it and I'm going to plat it a couple times as an individual plat and then I'll start my cornrow going towards the back. But as I am going towards the back, I'm taking the end of the individual play. I made on the side and I'm adding it into that corner row and once I'm done with the first two rows, this is what it should look like, and I know you guys are probably wondering what I'm gon na do with the loose end. That'S exposed, but I'll show you guys here in a second, how I'm going to hide that. But until then I will continue using the zig zag method throughout the front half of my hair until I have it all braided, okay y'all, so the hard part is finally over. I'M done braiding my hair, and this is what the front looks like. The zigzag parting will allow for a more realistic look whenever I finish crocheting my hair in, and I'm gon na, do that now and I'll be back to show you guys how I conceal those loose ends: okay, now to hide the loose ends of my hair. What I'm going to do is I'm going to start by braiding in some loose crochet hair, that is of a similar curl pattern of the ends of the crochet locks that I have in. So I'm going to extend my hair with this loose wavy crochet hair and you want to plat it all the way down until it's just past your hair and then that's probably a good stopping point. So here is the hair. Add it in next I'm going to take some Cuban twist hair and I'm going to split it in half. Now you can use Cuban twists. Are the marley twist hair, whichever you prefer, i'm going to take that and kind of detangle it with my finger just to smooth it out a bit. Now I'm going to insert the crochet needle at the base of the plat and I'm going to pull one half of the Cuban twist hair through and use the other half to wrap the braid with creating my own dreadlock. And when I get to the end of the Cuban to his hair, I sealed the ends by creating a small knot and then I'll give the jury a little palm roll to create some friction to further seal the lock. And then I just take my razor and I thin the hair out a bit, so we can better blend in with the rest of the crochet braids and then to get rid of some frizz. I just add a little mousse, alright y'all and I'm finally done so. This is what the parting looks like. The zigzag parting really makes the style look more realistic and again I can wear my hair in the half-up half-down style and I'm going to show you here what it looks like whenever I do that and as you can see, it looks pretty seamless, but normally with The crochet braids normal crochet braid pattern. You cannot wear your hair in so many different ways, but this pattern it's very versatile, and this is what it looks like whenever I pull my hair up in a ponytail yeah. Please excuse that one strand, I did not know it was hanging, but anyway the hair is very full. I think I use about three and a half packs of hair. It can get big pretty easily. So please be mindful of your spacing. You will not need more than three and a half, definitely not more than four packs of hair, and here I'm just showing you I can part my hair anywhere. I want to and yeah that's about it. I hope this video was helpful. I hope it. I explained myself well and I hope you guys were able to easily follow the method that I used. This style took me about three and a half hours to complete. I will leave more information on the hair down below in the description box and if you guys have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to ask them down below. In the comment section, I try to be as responsive as I can and as always y'all. I appreciate you guys, support and watching this video, and, if you like this video, please don't forget to hit that thumbs up button and don't forget to subscribe to my channel Thanks.
