Hair Hack: Diy Reverse Braid In Under 2 Minutes! | Life Hacks | Cute Girls Hairstyles
Looking for the quickest way to get a cute braid hairstyle in under two minutes? Then this braid hair hack is for you! This has to be one of the coolest hair tutorials I have ever seen! Whoever came up with this hair style was GENIUS!
I tried this braid on myself, after seeing a video of it floating around on Facebook several months ago (one made by BraidsInAction). Kamri and I just had to film our interpretation of how to create this beautiful look! In fact, we are adding it to our list of best life hacks!
To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHReverseBraidHack
You create what looks like a dutch braid beneath your chin with the hair that you have hanging down. Then after securing it, you flip it over the head... leaving you with what looks very much like a mermaid braid!
This will work with medium long, to long hairstyles, but unfortunately will not work on short hair. This is a perfect hairstyle for those mornings when you are running late, but still want a gorgeous hairstyle!
Please be sure to give this video a BIG "" if you loved it, and leave a comment below telling us if you are already following KamriNoel's channel!

( pleasant, guitar, music, ), ♫, Hey ♫, Hey Hi, guys, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles and I have Kamri here with me, today. Hi, guys Now don't forget! You can check out Kamri on her channel KamriNoel by clicking this little `` i'' button right up here. If you wan na see more of her and her awesome videos., But today, she's gon na help me show you guys what we're calling the Reverse Braid Hack.. Now this is a hair hack, genuinely. And, yes, you can do it on yourself.. I actually learned how to do it by doing it on myself, but I am demonstrating it today on Kamri just for the camera. Angles works a little better., But it's a tricky braid, because if you have a hard time, braiding your own hair in the back today is how you're going to learn how to braid it in the front where it's a little easier but still create this amazing braid. In the back., So let's get to it.. Okay to begin this hairstyle ( upbeat guitar, music ). I have parted her hair down the middle and I've swept it onto either side of her shoulders, and this is one of my little tricks. You take the front parts of their hair and just tuck it behind their ears., And you can see I've left some down in front of her ears still, but the majority of it is going back behind her ears.. Now we're gon na take these little pieces that we have right here in front and we're gon na pull em down by her chin and divide it into three sections. Three even pieces. - And these are gon na - be our starting base for a Dutch braid.. So we're gon na go ahead and cross them over like we're starting our Dutch braid pattern.. This is trick number two.. Don'T do it so tight against their chin that you can't slide it up over their chin later., But make sure you have a couple fingertips space in right. There. Now you just do a Dutch braid., So I'm gon na come over here, pick up a piece of hair and add it into this side and braid it. And then I'm gon na pick up a piece over here and braid it. And you're gon na continue. This pattern all the way down. When you get down to the end ( pleasant, guitar, music, ), just finish it up with the regular three strand, braid. Secure it with an elastic. Like this, and it's gon na kinda look goofy cus right now. It just looks like she's a belongs in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves with a beard or something crazy., But here is where the hack comes in.. So I'm going to take this and just gently lift it over her chin, like this. Up and over her nose over her face, so we're literally just reversing the braid across her head., And I will show you what it looks like when we flips it backwards.. We have this really fun: mermaid braid.. It almost looks like a cross between a mermaid braid and the skeleton braid., But that is exactly how you can get a really fun hairdo by braiding it on yourself in the front, if you have a hard time, braiding it in the back.. Okay, let's show you guys ( bright, guitar, music ), the final spin. There you go so easy Looks way harder than it really is because you have the hair hack..

Comments
KatesBeautyStation: Amazing!!
heyhopebarker: I'm definitely going to have to try this out! This looks so easy ❤️
Brianna Edwards: Hey, I think it would be so cool if you did more of these under 2 minute hair style videos. They are so simple yet they look beautiful and could easily be done as a before school hairstyle. :D
Diya .C: I love this tutorial so much,I think this is a really clever hack! I will definitely be trying this out
alainaswartz: I was about to do this when I realized my hair was too short lol
Lyndsie Jace: This is genuinely the best hair tutorial I have ever seen because it is so simple and I suck at hair. Thanks a million!
India Webster: Yay I love this so much and it is a great way to braid!❤️️
Vilamia: Dziękuje, że przetłumaczyłyście! Cieplutko pozdrawiam ;)
Kathryn the Awesome: When I started the braid the way you do in the video, the braid pulled at the sides and was uncomfortable (I have long, heavy hair). So I redid it and took larger sections of hair at the beginning and that helped a lot. :-) I also added in hair all the way down. Thanks for the idea! :-)
Dee Raines: i love your channel. this is such an awesome hack. in mid March of 2015 i became paralyzed from the neck down and had to have emergency surgery to reverse it. i was released from PT last week because i have come far enough that my range of motion in my arms and shoulders is back to 100%, overall i have 98% of my ranges back and my strength is at a level where i can continue at home without having a professional therapist. i finally got to a point i can brush my hair by myself and do simple braids to the side. this hack is going to let me do so much more. thank you so very much for this video.
winter: I was seeing this everywhere and I'm so glad you guys posted a tutorial!! Gonna go try it now! :D

Serina Simmons: I just needed to say thank you for this! I used to be able to do lots of hair styles until I became disabled in 2005. This hair hack was super easy and I was able to do it with my lil girls hair and it didn't take too long. TY ;)
Diana El: YaaHoo I can finally have good braid with my long hair! Totally subscribing for you!

Grace.Isabelle: So if you did a regular French braid in the beard part and flipped it would it work to be a Dutch braid?

Helen Sanchez: HI Mindy! I just wanted to say I am a HUGE fan of your channel, B&B, and Kamri! But I have question... what curling iron did you use on Brooklyns hair on Homecoming this year? Her curls were beautiful and I have been looking for a good curling iron. And I was thinking that you should do a series of making DIYs of your hairstyles. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Aheli Mojumdar: Great video! I love your channel! Keep up the great work! :)

Ευτυχια Τσ: At first i thought it wouldn't work on my hair, mainly bcs i have layers and my hair texture isn't even close to Kamri's. BUT IT DID! It's very easy and looks amazing and when you untie it you have beautiful curls as well. Highly recommend you to try it out. It also looks good on oily hair:))
