What is up everyone? It's your girl T
0:05
and welcome back to my channel. Okay,
0:07
let's have a real talk for a second. How
0:09
many times have you scrolled through
0:10
Pinterest, seen this absolutely
0:12
stunning, gorgeous, intricate looking
0:14
braid, and thought, "Yeah, I could do
0:16
that." Only to end up with your arms
0:18
aching, a cramp in your neck, and
0:20
something that looks less like a braid
0:21
and more like a bird's nest that got
0:23
into a fight with a hurricane. We've all
0:25
been there. My hair has looked like a
0:27
science experiment gone wrong more times
0:29
than I can count. But what if I told you
0:31
that you, yes you, could become a
0:34
braiding master without needing eight
0:35
arms or a degree in hair engineering.
0:37
Today, we are diving deep into the world
0:39
of braids, but we're keeping it 100. I'm
0:42
talking easy, beginner friendly. I woke
0:44
up like this. But actually, I just spent
0:46
5 minutes on my hair kind of styles.
0:48
We're going to cover everything from the
0:50
absolute basics to styles that look
0:52
super complicated but are secretly a
0:54
piece of cake. So, grab your hair ties,
0:57
a brush, and maybe a snack because
0:59
you're about to level up your hair game
1:00
significantly. Whether you're heading to
1:02
class, a fancy wedding, the gym, or just
1:06
trying to look cute while binge watching
1:07
your favorite show on the couch, I've
1:09
got a braid for that. We're going to
1:11
master over 20 styles, starting with the
1:14
core foundations. Are you ready to
1:16
untangle the mystery and become the
1:17
braid boss you were always meant to be?
1:19
Let's do this.
1:21
[Music]
1:24
All right, fam. We have to start at the
1:26
beginning. The foundation, the bread and
1:27
butter of the braiding world, the
1:29
classic threest strand braid. Seriously,
1:32
this is the Taylor Swift of braids.
1:34
Timeless, beloved by all, and
1:36
surprisingly versatile. If you can do
1:38
this, you can do anything. First things
1:40
first, brush out your hair to get rid of
1:42
any sneaky tangles. We want a smooth
1:45
journey, not a bumpy road trip. Now,
1:47
gather your hair to one side or straight
1:48
back, wherever you want the braid to
1:50
live. Divide that glorious mane into
1:52
three equal sections. Let's call them
1:55
section one, section two, and section
1:57
three from left to right. It's like a
1:59
little hair party, and everyone gets
2:01
their own space. Now, here comes the
2:03
magic. It's a simple little dance.
2:05
Outside, over middle. Take the rightmost
2:07
section, section three, and cross it
2:10
over the middle section, section two.
2:12
Now, section three is your new middle.
2:13
See what happened there? A little
2:15
switcheroo. Next, take the leftmost
2:17
section, section one, and cross it over
2:19
the new middle section, which used to be
2:21
section three. That's literally it. You
2:24
just keep repeating that pattern. Right
2:25
over middle, left over middle. It's a
2:28
rhythm. Get into the groove. Keep going
2:30
until you run out of hair. Like I run
2:32
out of patience on a Monday morning.
2:34
Once you reach the end, secure it with a
2:37
hair tie. And boom, you've done it.
2:39
You're officially a braider. Look at you
2:42
go. The beauty of this braid is its
2:44
simplicity. You can wear it sleek and
2:46
tight for a professional look, or you
2:48
can gently pull on the sides. We call
2:50
this pancaking to make it look thicker
2:52
and more romantic for a casual day out.
2:54
You can do one, you can do two for
2:56
pigtails, you can start it high, you can
2:59
start it low. This isn't just a braid,
3:01
it's a building block for your entire
3:03
hair future. Get this down and you're
3:06
golden.
3:10
Okay, you've mastered the three strand
3:11
braid. You're feeling confident. You're
3:13
feeling powerful. Now, it's time to
3:16
introduce its slightly fancier, more
3:18
sophisticated cousin, the French braid.
3:20
This is the braid that says, "I have my
3:22
life together." Even if you're
3:24
internally screaming, it looks so chic
3:26
and complicated. But I promise it's just
3:29
our OG braid with one extra step. So,
3:31
let's get into it. Instead of grabbing
3:33
all your hair at once, start with a
3:35
small section at the top of your head,
3:37
right at your hairline, or wherever you
3:38
want the braid to begin. Divide this
3:41
small section into three equal strands.
3:44
Just like before, here's where the plot
3:46
thickens. You're going to start exactly
3:48
like a regular braid. Cross the right
3:50
strand over the middle. Then cross the
3:53
left strand over the middle. You've done
3:55
one stitch. Now, before you cross the
3:57
right strand over again, you're going to
3:59
grab a little bit of extra hair from the
4:01
right side of your head and add it to
4:03
that right strand. It's like your strand
4:05
is picking up friends along the way.
4:07
combine them into one and then cross
4:09
that whole beefed up section over the
4:11
middle. Guess what you do on the other
4:13
side? The exact same thing. Before you
4:16
cross the left strand over, grab a small
4:18
section of loose hair from the left
4:20
side, add it to your left strand, and
4:22
then cross that entire chunk over the
4:24
middle. That's the whole secret. With
4:27
every single stitch, you're just adding
4:29
a little more hair from the sides before
4:31
you cross it over the center. Keep this
4:33
pattern going all the way down your
4:35
head. It keeps everything super neat and
4:37
tidy, which is why it's amazing for
4:39
workouts or a long day at the office. It
4:42
literally locks your hair in place with
4:44
style.
4:46
[Music]
4:48
If the French braid is the elegant, put
4:50
together sibling, the Dutch braid is the
4:52
cool, edgy, rebellious one that listens
4:54
to rock music and stands out from the
4:56
crowd. It's also called an inside out
4:58
braid or a boxer braid. And the reason
5:01
is that it literally pops off your head.
5:03
It's bold. It's beautiful. And it makes
5:05
a statement. And the best part, if you
5:07
can do a French braid, you can 1,000% do
5:10
a Dutch braid because it's the exact
5:12
same concept. Just one tiny crucial
5:14
difference. We're flipping the script,
5:16
or rather the stitch. So, just like the
5:19
French braid, you start with a small
5:21
section of hair at the top of your head
5:22
and divide it into three strands. Now,
5:25
listen closely. This is the secret
5:27
handshake. Instead of crossing the side
5:29
strands over the middle, you're going to
5:31
cross them under. That's it. That's the
5:34
whole trick. Take your right strand and
5:37
pass it under the middle strand. Then
5:39
take your left strand and pass it under
5:41
the new middle strand. Your braid is now
5:43
forming on top of your hair instead of
5:46
being woven in. It's like you're
5:47
building it outwards. From here on out,
5:50
it's just like the French braid process,
5:52
but in reverse. Before you cross the
5:54
right strand under the middle, pick up a
5:56
section of loose hair from the right
5:58
side, add it to that strand, and then
6:00
tuck the whole thing under the middle.
6:02
Repeat on the left. Add some hair to the
6:05
left strand, and then tuck it all under
6:07
the middle. By going under instead of
6:09
over, you create that iconic pronounced
6:11
braid that sits on top of your hair.
6:14
It's perfect for a sporty vibe,
6:16
festivals, or anytime you want your hair
6:18
to have some extra dimension and
6:19
attitude. Two Dutch braids are the
6:22
ultimate power look.
6:24
[Music]
6:26
All right, let's get into what I
6:28
consider the most deceivingly simple
6:29
braid of all time, the fishtail. This
6:32
braid looks so intricate, so detailed,
6:34
like you must have spent hours weaving
6:36
tiny strands together. People will think
6:38
you're some kind of hair wizard. The
6:40
truth, it only has two sections. Two,
6:43
not three. Your brain might feel a
6:46
little weird about it at first, but
6:47
trust me, it's ridiculously easy once
6:49
you get the hang of it. It's the
6:51
ultimate way to elevate a simple
6:53
ponytail and give your whole outfit a
6:55
bohemian mermaidesque vibe. First, split
6:58
your hair into two big equal sections.
7:00
Just two. Hold one in your left hand and
7:03
one in your right. Now, from the outer
7:05
edge of the right section, you're going
7:07
to separate a tiny little piece of hair.
7:09
We're talking maybe/ an inch thick. Take
7:11
that tiny piece, cross it up and over
7:13
the big right section, and pass it to
7:15
the left section, joining it with the
7:17
hair in your left hand. So, the little
7:19
piece from the right has now become part
7:21
of the left pile of hair. Your two main
7:23
sections are still there. One just got a
7:26
tiny bit bigger and the other a tiny bit
7:27
smaller. Now, you just mirror that on
7:30
the other side. Take a tiny piece from
7:32
the outer edge of the left section.
7:34
Cross that little piece up and over the
7:36
big left section and give it to the
7:38
right section. That's the entire
7:40
pattern. You're just continuously taking
7:42
small pieces from the outside of one
7:44
section and passing them over to the
7:46
inside of the other section, alternating
7:48
from right to left over and over again.
7:51
The smaller the pieces you take, the
7:52
more intricate and fishy your braid will
7:54
look. It takes a little longer than a
7:56
threest strand braid, but the payoff is
7:58
huge. It's gorgeous.
8:04
Okay, my queens, it is time for the
8:05
grand finale. The braid that will make
8:08
you feel like royalty, like you belong
8:10
in a fairy tale, or at the very least at
8:12
a super chic music festival. We are
8:14
talking about the crown braid. This is
8:17
the one you pull out for weddings, prom,
8:19
or any special occasion where you need
8:20
to look effortlessly elegant and
8:22
romantic. It looks like the most complex
8:25
style in the universe, but really, it's
8:26
just two braids taking a trip around
8:28
your head. I'm going to show you the
8:30
easy way to do this. No need for a
8:32
million bobby pins or a professional
8:34
stylist. First, part your hair down the
8:37
middle from your forehead all the way to
8:38
the nape of your neck, creating two
8:40
equal sections like you're about to do
8:42
pigtails. Now, you're going to create a
8:45
Dutch braid on one side. Start braiding
8:47
near your ear, adding hair from the
8:49
front and back along your hairline,
8:51
directing the braid up and over the top
8:53
of your head like a headband. Keep that
8:55
Dutch braid going until you run out of
8:57
hair to add. And then just continue with
8:59
a regular threest strand braid all the
9:01
way to the ends. Secure it with a small
9:03
clear elastic. Now repeat the exact same
9:06
process on the other side. Create
9:08
another Dutch braid starting near your
9:09
other ear and braid it up and over your
9:12
head until it meets the first braid.
9:14
Again, finish it off with a regular
9:16
braid to the ends and tie it off. You
9:18
should now have two long pigtail braids
9:20
that start as Dutch braids along your
9:21
scalp. Now for the magic trick, take the
9:24
tail of one braid, lay it across the top
9:26
of your head, right alongside the Dutch
9:28
braided part, and pin it securely in
9:30
place, tucking the end under the
9:32
opposite braid. Do the same with the
9:34
second braid tail, laying it next to the
9:36
first one and pinning it down. And there
9:39
you have it. A full, gorgeous, seamless
9:42
crown of braids.
9:46
And that is it, my beautiful people. We
9:48
did it. We went on a journey from the
9:50
simple three strand all the way to a
9:52
royal crown braid. See, I told you you
9:55
could do it. Your arms might be a little
9:57
tired, but your hair looks absolutely
9:59
incredible. and you've just added at
10:00
least five go-to styles to your arsenal.
10:03
Remember, practice makes perfect. The
10:06
first time you try a French or Dutch
10:07
braid, it might look a little lopsided,
10:10
and that is totally okay. My first
10:12
fishtail braid looked more like a
10:14
confused worm. Just keep trying, and
10:16
soon it'll be second nature. I want to
10:18

10:21
