Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel.
My name's Thomas, if you're brand new here
and I make style and hair-related videos every single week
so if that's your kinda thing,
make sure you hit the subscribe button
and come back and visit me every single Monday.
So, welcome to today's video
where I'm gonna be doing some man braiding.
No, I'm gonna be teaching all of you guys
that have been wanting to learn
how to braid your own hair how to actually do it.
The reason I'm doing this video today
is because it has been highly requested
for me to teach you guys how to braid.
I have done videos about it before,
however I feel like some of you guys have missed that
and there's never any harm
in doing a bit of updated content,
so I'm gonna teach you again how I do my braiding
and I did want to say, as well,
I thought braiding was a very scary thing
when I first started doing it.
I was like, "There is no way in hell
I'm ever gonna be able to get that."
But, once you actually get in there
and have a go with the right instruction,
you can get it, it's far easier.
And plus, when you learn how to braid your own hair,
you don't have to rely on your mum or your sister
or your girlfriend to come and do it for you.
So, you can just be a self-sustained unit,
you know what I mean?
That's what we like. (laughs)
The way I did this in my previous video was,
I broke down the basics of what plaiting is
because plaiting is literally just intertwining the hair
without actually having it connected to the head,
but braiding is where the plait
actually incorporates other hairs on the head
to make it go in a line and stay close to the scalp.
So what we're gonna do,
we're gonna jump straight into how to plait first
and then once we get our head around plaiting,
then we're gonna see how we can
incorporate it into our hair.
Okay?
So, we'll go to the up-close cam first
and what we're gonna do is,
braiding always revolves around three strands,
well, it can revolve around three strands
or it can revolve around five,
but I wouldn't even know where to begin
when teaching you how to do five,
so this is what our hair looks like, right?
I'm just gonna grab a big chunk of it
and this is a plait that we're doing now, not a braid.
So, for a plait, all you need to do
is separate the hair into three sections,
bang, bang, bang.
Cool.
So once you've got them into three sections like that,
the only fingers that you need to be aware of
is your thumb and your index finger and your rude finger,
it's the only time we're allowed to give the finger.
(laughs) Okay?
So, the purpose of your index fingers and your thumbs
is to just hold two strands on the side
and the rude fingers pass the hairs to each other.
So, let me just demonstrate.
So, I'm gonna get my rude finger here
and grab this bit of hair
and bring it over that side,
and my index and pointer finger
are gonna bring that strand to the middle.
As these guys are bringing the strand back to the middle,
my other rude finger is gonna grab hold of that
and take it over to the other side.
And again, my opposite index finger and thumb
are gonna bring the other strand to the middle
and then take it over to the side.
Then again, it's just a continuous cycle of that,
of your index and thumb fingers
taking the strands of hair to the middle
and your index finger pulling it to the side,
like that.
Like that.
Like that.
Like that.
And can you see how the hair is intertwining with itself?
It just goes all the way down, just like that.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
And you would keep braiding,
I can, like, lift up a little bit here.
We've got the zoomed in camera on my,
the big screen today, so I'm kinda like,
really tripped out with what I'm doin'.
Boop!
And that, my friends, is a plait.
Let's try that one more time, just to show ya.
So, we're grabbing a clump of hair,
practise this as many times as you can
because if you can't get your head around this,
there's no way in hell you'll get your head around braiding.
Remember, there's only two parts of our hands
that we're using for this,
it's our index and pointer fingers,
or our thumb and pointer fingers
and our rude fingers, right?
These other two fingers?
Nothing.
So, we're gonna grab the three strands
and the rude fingers are the passers
and the index and thumbs are the holders.
So we're gonna hold with these two,
get our rude fingers, grab, take it over to the side,
twist it around, grab,
use our index finger and thumb to pass it off
to our other rude finger and do the opposite.
Now, other rude finger.
Now, other rude finger.
Now, other rude finger.
Voomp.
Voomp.
And you obviously get quicker and quicker
and quicker at it as you go along.
Always bringing one piece of hair to one side
and twirling them around each other like that.
(lightly whistling)
Da-da!
(giggles)
Okay, so what,
if you need to have a minute to go
and get used to how to plait or give that a little turn,
go and do that now, pause this video
and then once you've gotten your head around that,
press play again and then we're gonna get into the braiding.
Okay?
Okay, so now that you've gotten your head
around the idea of plaiting,
it's now time to get into the braiding section.
So, if you've got a disconnected undercut
with quite a bit of hair on top here, you'll probably find
the whole braiding thing a lot easier for you.
When you've got more hair like me,
it's a bit like, "Whoa!
"What is going on here?"
So, in order for me to just teach
this concept really nice and easily,
I'm actually going to tie up
and restrict the side bits of my hair
and I'm just gonna be working with the middle bit
because that's the easiest place,
I think, you can start learning.
And, again, once you learn this braiding technique,
you can then take what you've learned
and try and apply it to the other parts of your head,
but in the beginning, let's not be so ambitious
and we'll just separate it up.
So, the first thing I'm gonna do,
I'm just gonna section it off.
I'm gonna take this section.
I'm just gonna get rid of this hair altogether
'cause if it wasn't there, we'd be in Easy Street.
Cool.
A little bun on the side.
And I'm also gonna do it the same on this side.
I'm just doing this quite roughly, as well,
just so you can see the hair that I'm working with
and just really get your head around the concept first
because that is literally the first part.
Get lost, flaking!
You guys know I have a flakey scalp.
Okay, cool.
So, I've separated that out of the way
and I look very funny right now, I know that.
Now, we've got the front of my head like this
and we're only working with this middle section here, right?
The first thing you're gonna do is create a little triangle
on the front of your head in a section like this.
(gibberishly singing)
You can go at it quite rough, if you want.
And then, the first thing you're gonna do,
again, 'cause we're working with three strands,
we're gonna break them up into threes.
So, now we've got our braids
into three sections here, like this,
we're going to go as if we were going to do a plait,
like we were before, using our rude fingers and pointers,
and just do a twist cycle for each hair.
So, each hair has had a turn going into the middle
and then the next bit is we're gonna start
adding hair into each strand.
So, I like to put these in my mouth because I can,
it holds it in place,
but you can just brush it off to the side, or whatever.
I like to put it in my mouth
'cause I know it keeps it tighter.
Then, once I've got it like this,
my God, it's thundering,
we're gonna add a piece of hair in
and grab it. (laughing)
Can you hear me properly?
Sorry about that.
Then, once I've included that hair in there,
I'm gonna use my rude finger to come and pull this guy back
and then once he's back,
I'm gonna put this guy in my mouth again
and now we want to add hair to this guy.
So, we just take a bit from the sides,
take this guy back,
keeping it pulled tight on it.
See how, as I'm adding the hair into it,
it's combining it to the strand that I've already got,
but it's taking bits as I go along?
And that's how the braid sticks to the head.
So, now I've got that there,
it's time to get my rude finger, go from behind again,
and pull him to the middle, like that.
Again, I'll put that in my mouth
(chuckles) for easy holding,
then I'm gonna add a little bit more hair,
like that.
And you literally just continue doing it, like that.
See how my hand's over this side
and the hair is stemming from that side?
Whichever side the hair is stemming from
is the side that you'll be adding
the next side of hair into.
So, for example, see how the hair is stemming here?
I'm gonna go from that side
and add more hair so it flows into it.
Bom-ba-dum.
Then after that, and you literally just keep going with it.
Pulling it from the back, secure it,
add a little bit more hair,
bang, bang,
then it gets to a point
where I can't actually put it in my mouth anymore.
Bang.
And then, let's just say,
I had no more hair left on my head,
you would just continue to plait it,
as if it was a normal plait.
'Cause that's when the plait, or the braid,
actually leaves the head,
like that,
and you can tie it
in a knot.
See that?
Now, this is a little bit untidy, obviously.
But, you don't need to be the tidiest braider
to actually make a braid and you can see
how it follows from the front of my head along my scalp
and then it gets to the back
and it actually lifts off and goes into a plait.
Now, it might be a little bit tedious for you
to try and get this straight-up and I totally get it
'cause there's lot of intertwining and going on in there,
so for that reason, I also think watching my other video
which actually did braiding in color-coded
might be a great help to you, as well.
But then, once you've actually learnt how to braid your hair
and get used to that feeling, 'cause let me tell you,
trying to braid on yourself, as well,
it is an art and it does take a bit of getting used to,
so, with time and practise, you'll get it,
but it's important to know.
So, what I would do now,
is now that I've shown you the actual structure
of how I've done it, I'm actually gonna show you
how I would use this braiding technique
on my hair as it is right now, right?
With all my long hair
because this is how I used to wear it
when I had the disconnected undercut,
which, obviously, is no longer
and, yeah, I've got to do it differently now.
So, the first thing I would do is, I'll take it all out.
(funky electronic music)
(high-pitch fast-playing speaking)
What I'm gonna do is,
I'm actually gonna part my hair down the middle.
(comb clattering on table)
So, I've just, very roughly,
parted it down the middle, as you can see.
So, I'll tie this side up 'cause it can get pretty annoying
when all your hair's dangling in your face
and it's a little bit warm.
We're gonna be dealing with this side.
So, again, we're gonna start at the front.
I'm gonna get my little triangle piece,
divide him into three pieces.
Try and get these pieces as even as possible, as well.
And then what I'm gonna do is,
I'm actually gonna flip all my hair back on my head
because I wanna be adding pieces in from each side
and make it even as possible.
So, then we start again, like, from the beginning.
Bang.
Use my mouth to hold some pieces in,
then I'm gonna add a bit of hair in.
Do another twist over.
Oh, it's gonna storm.
Add another piece of hair from this side in.
Once I've done that, twist again,
(chuckles)
add a bit more hair in.
Once I've done that,
and you just continue the cycle
until the braid goes along your whole head.
(funky electronic music)
Da-da!
So, there is one side of my head done.
So, I'm gonna be aiming for the double-braid.
I'm gonna part it down the middle,
well, I've already parted it,
then I'm doing one on here
and I'm gonna do the exact same on the other side,
but as you can see, I've used my braiding technique
that I just showed you before
and it's travelled down my head here
and now because I have the other side there,
all of this hair needs to go into the next braid
and then from there, I'm pretty sure
I'll either connect it up and do a bun or, I don't know.
I could just leave them hanging like this, if I wanted to,
but I've never really liked this look on me,
so we'll see how I go.
(funky electronic music)
Da-da!
There we go.
So, now I've just completed my two braids.
I'll give you a little 360 of that,
360 of that.
The thing is, with braiding as well,
especially when you're learning,
like, trying to get them in an even line
and getting no loose bits like this
is something that you really need to practise at, as well.
Now, I've done this and usually with these loose pieces,
I'll use something like a bobby pin.
I'll just bobby pin it in like that to make up for it.
And as you can see too,
my braids aren't, like, the neatest ever,
like I did mention this just before,
and (clears throat) I think that's also something
that comes with practise.
However, being able to do your own braids
is something that's really cool and what I like to do
after I've actually completed my braids is just,
like, pull them a little bit to give them
more of a looser, more chunky feel.
I feel like it makes them look bigger and better.
And it also makes up for the fact
that you might not have been able to get them, like,
super tight or super focused in the very beginning.
You can kind of separate them out a little bit,
make them look a little bit more messy.
And I also, personally, I don't particularly love
having them dangling down here,
so I would always man bun them up anyway.
If I go and grab my hair tie,
something like this.
Doo.
I find it kind of adds to that casual, messy look
and it's something
that I can actually do myself.
I would also, like, what I've noticing here,
see how it's a bit puffy on the side there?
I'd probably get another pin
and just, like, slot it in there
just to decrease that puff a little bit.
And voila!
The double braided man bun.
I have, like, this element of pride
that I can do it myself, you know?
And you guys can get that (gasps) the thunder.
(thunder loudly clapping)
I have a great sense of pride that I can do it by myself
and the fact that I don't need
to ask anybody to do it for me is just top-notch
and you guys can actually do it too.
All you have to do is sit down,
practise the technique that I just taught you.
Also, I always would recommend,
even though that this is an updated version
of the braiding video,
go back and watch that other one
because the colour coding section
that I used to do the braiding and the plaiting
will really help you get your head around it.
Okay?
But for now, that's all I really have for you.
I really hope you like this hairstyle.
Please let me know what you think of it
in the comment section below and also,
let me know how you found my teaching in this video.
I always like to make my videos more thorough
and really educational,
so if there's anything I could do better
in terms of teaching you guys, let me know.
And anything that was unclear,
'cause I like to just get better at it, as a rule of thumb.
So, yeah.
Happy braiding, let me know how you go with your braids
and if you do get them, make sure you send me an email
or shoot it to me in the Facebook group, or whatever, okay?
Thanks a lot!
I'll catch ya later!
Bye!
(lips smacking)
(thunder loudly clapping)
(singing) Moon is risin'.
