Hello, beautiful people who welcome to my channel, my name is corneli Alida and if it's your first time here, hello, hello, there I see you so today I am going to show you guys how I prep for my braid out, and I will show you the end Results as well, but before I'm jumping into that, I want to answer your questions. I got a few questions that I already answered in private, but I would like to share them on my channel as well, so that we can all benefit from them. Let'S get started with those questions, so the first question that I got was: what do you do with your hair before going to bed? So before I'm going to bed, I like to braid my hair, so one braid on each side, but there are times when I do four braids or even six um. I also like to Pineapple my hair or put my hair in a hair band and Slick it back in a ponytail, but after I braided my hair put it in a pineapple or I put a hair band in my hair, I like to cover my hair with This Bonnet right here this button is reversible, so it comes in two colors and I really like pink. So I put the pink color on the outside and the red color on the inside, but you can pick and choose which color you like they come in many colors in the morning. My hair Feels So So Soft. So that is a really good thing about using a satin Bonnet because it protects your hair during the night. The second question that I got was: what kind of products do you use on your hair, so most of the products that I use are from shea moisture. I use the curl enhancing smoothie, the curls souffle and also the leave-in conditioner, and you guys the products of shea moisture day they smell so good, like I really like it. So that are the products that I use uh from shea moisture. But I also like to use Eco study gel, so I have this one: it's the one with Argan Oil argan oil in it, and I also have the brown one. I also purchased this one right here and this is the gel from tray locks, and I I don't know I don't know which one I will keep this one was the keeper for me, but I want to try another gel and see which one I like the Most, I know with the Eco salad gel I get really defined beautiful, curls um, but with the tray locks, I still need to figure this one out, but yeah. We will see that are the products that I am using on my hair. If you have any more questions or suggestions - or you just want to say hello, it is fine by me, use the comment section below and you guys without further Ado. Let'S get started to prep for the braid out. My hair is already washed and conditioned and I'm ready to come made out. I always apply oil to make the process a lot easier, and here I am applying the oil all over my hair and finger detangle. My hair, as I go to get any knots out of my hair and when my hair is tangle free, I start combing it out. The right side is combed out and I am ready to do the left side as well. It took me one hour to combat my hair, but, as you can see, I am all done. I always make sure my hair is damp before adding products to my hair. So here I am just spritzing some more water on my hair and I will add a little bit more oil as well. Next, I will use this leave-in conditioner from shea moisture and I take my time to apply a generous amount of this Leaf in conditioner, so that every strand of my hair is well coated to make it intensely smooth. And I also like to focus on the ends of my hair as well, and you guys this Leaf in conditioner is loaded with good ingredients such as organic shea butter, Jamaican black, castor oil and peppermint all to promote healthy hair growth. So I really love this Leaf. In conditioner, the curl enhancing smoothie with Silk protein neem oil and coconut oil is the last product I will apply on my hair. This curl enhancing smoothie helps to Define My Curls, restore the moisture and reduce freeze. I am almost done with applying the products on my whole hair. As you can see, I am very heavy-handed with my products, but I leave some space between my hair and my scalp. Every time I apply the products to my hair. That way, I am sure my scalp stays clean and product free. From this point, you guys I let my hair air dry throughout the day so that all the products can absorb into my hair. At this point, my hair is air dry. Now I'm just checking in my parts if my hair needs to air dry a bit more, but I don't see any reason for that. So I'm ready for the next step here is where I went wrong. I put water on my hair. I couldn't believe myself. You guys that I went in with water after I just air dried, my hair, and what this does it: reactivates, the leave-in conditioner and the curl enhancing smoothie, getting my hair all white again when I start braiding my hair, but you will see it in the next Clip before I'm going to braid my hair, I will apply a little bit of the curling gel souffle, and this is what the consistency is like and, as you can see, it has a lot of oil in it, and that is why you have to rub. It really well into your hands before applying it. On your hair. I am going to braid my hair very close to my scalp, using an underhand upward motion, and to do that I will braid my hair in cornrows. That way, My Curls will start close to my scalp, and I really like this method. Whenever I do a braid out, if you don't know how to braid cornrows, you can also make individual braids to create a beautiful curl pattern for your curls. In the beginning of this video, I told you guys that I braid my hair before going to bed most of the time and a big reason. Why is because a braided Style like cornrows or individual braids? They help to protect the hair from moisture loss, but also from breakage and cornrows are a low maintenance hairstyle, and that is why I can wear my braid out for weeks to come. As you can see, my hair is getting white because a few minutes ago I put water on my hair and instead of using water, I had to use the curling gel souffle, but yeah. I have high porosity hair, so my hair will absorb all the products once again, so I don't worry about it too much for this braid out. I will make six cornrows to create medium sized curls for smaller braids. You can make several thinner braids. If that is the look, you are going for, I use my hands to part my hair from the center of my head to my ear. After that, I will take some curl enhancing souffle, rub it in my hands, real good and after that, apply it to my hair brush it a little bit and I am ready for my first braid Stitch. I take some hair in my fingers from the front near my forehead and I separate it into three even sections with my fingers. So then I will have a left section, A Center section and a right section, so three sections of hair and every time I add a small section of hair from the row underneath each braid Stitch each time. You pick up one of the three pieces of hair to the braid and continue braiding and adding hair to the cornrow, as you work your way towards the end. My hair is now braided on my scalp, so I am continuing this braid, like I would with a regular single braid. I am almost done with braiding this corner row for the rest of my hair. I will speed this part up. You guys, and I will keep repeating the same steps. Foreign foreign, your hair, at the back, is pretty much the same technique as braiding in front of your head, because at all times you will still have one hand holding the section of hair, while the other hand holds the two separate sections. The difference is that we can't see the back of our head, so that is why I use the mirror and positioned my hands differently. I will use this pink flexi rods to curl the ends of my hair. What you want to do is start with the ends of your hair, hold the flexi rods horizontally and then twist your hair around it and then hold the flexi rod vertically and bend the flexi rods on both sides to make sure it stays in place. Alright guys. I am done braiding, my hair, so yeah. I think I will leave my braids in one to three days and when I am ready to take my cornrows out, I will come back and show you the end results foreign. It has been a few days that I have my cornrows in my hair, but I am ready to take my cornrows out and show you guys the result. So, let's get started so all the products have pretty much absorbed into my hair. I don't see any white residue from the leave-in conditioner or the curly enhancing smoothie, so I'm very pleased with that um, but I will show you guys the bag as well. So I will give you a 360.. Instead of creating well-defined Parts, I parted my hair with my fingers and then I let it fall into place. I only used to comb, for my middle part, it's time to take out my flexi rods and I'm going to bend the end of the flexi rods open and start unwrapping my hair from the rods and the last one to take my braids out. I will start at the back and work my way to the front, all right guys. So this is the first braid that I took out and I will take the other one out as well. Oh, my hair feels very soft all right, so the bag is out. Okay, you guys, you see this, you guys look at them. Curls see this. Is you guys? This is why I like to cornrow my hair. Whenever I do a braid out look at this. My hair is a little bit shine and it is because of the oil, but also in the products of shea moisture. There is oil in it, so you can really see the shine okay so in front. I still have two braids, so I'm about to take them out as well. If you want to keep your curls defined and get more definition as the day goes by just break your hair before going to bed that way, you can enjoy your braid out even more. I, like my curls as they are at the moment, but they will look even better on the second or third hair day foreign of this video.
