#62. JUMBO, TRIANGLE PART BOX BRAIDS INTO A CURLY BUN tutorial

Hey guys, it's me Lena here with another tutorial Um, and first i'm gonna say i'm not gonna talk through this whole video because i'm sick and I sound really crazy right now So i'm just gonna pop in and out and explain a little bit of what i'm doing um, so first, um, this style came from Uh, somebody's page i've seen on instagram, I believe and I was like, oh, that's really cute. I have to try that So of course I tried it out on my daughter. That's my little live mannequin experiment here So here first of all To make parting really simple. I parted the hair straight back like I was doing four braids to the back because I figured that would Um keep me from doing so many braids and these are jumbo so I didn't want to put too many braids in there So I just parted like four straight back braids Okay. So now that I have my first section parted out I was trying to figure out where my parting was going from here because I really didn't know So I decided to do like a sort of semi-triangle Um parting technique for these and it worked out pretty good Sort of triangle So for these jumbo braids, I decided to do the rubber band method Um, i'm not the best at doing the jumbo braids So it's easier to put a rubber band on them And I also think that it lasts a little bit longer with the rubber band on there also Especially since my daughter has um thick hair Okay, so when doing the rubber band method I split the hair up just so you have a more even braid and when I put it on I try to do like a Wrap method kind of to make sure I cover up the rubber band Because I don't want it to show at all So when I first start braiding, I kind of take like the first piece of hair around the rubber band Um, just to make sure that i'm covering it up And then when i'm braiding down Especially with jumbo box braids. I do the tuck method So the braid looks neater So i'm just taking her real hair and tucking it behind or under the braiding hair to give it a smoother look And with this style i'm only braiding the braids halfway down and then i'm gonna Put a rubber band on the end to secure it. I was gonna tie it but I figured the rubber band would be easier and it'll stay So i'm just gonna braid it halfway down because the other half is going to get curled with the perm rods So Okay, so here i'm just showing how i've rubber band the sections off and I did part them triangle And actually parting this um hair back into like like I was doing four straight back braids was a really Easy method. This was my first time doing it like that actually and Um, it made parting the triangles out pretty easy So here i'm just showing you how I braided it halfway down and put a rubber band on it and i'm gonna go ahead and Do the rest of the hair this way and as you can see I wrapped the hair around that rubber band so it wouldn't show So I finished putting all the braids in and when i'm done and when i'm finished and i'm looking at it now i'm like I'm, really not crazy about how this is looking. I don't know how it's going to turn out But of course I was gonna keep going I was at the end so Now it was time to roll up the hair so I took each braid and I split the ends and put two rods on each and when i'm wrapping it around the rods, I kind of Roll or twirl it so it has a tighter curl to it Now I have all the hair rolled up and I am about to dip it That's a nice curl Misha was right that curl is perfect Misha you was right. These are some perfect curls So now I have the hair all curled up the curls came out really cute And i'm feeling style a lot more now that is pulled up into a ponytail I really didn't like it hanging down So I guess the style just makes for a cute bun or ponytail So I was just um fighting with it twirling it around trying to figure out how I was going to get it up into a cute bun I really didn't know how to wrap this ponytail y'all I was just Like okay twirl it left twirl it right Flip it fold it forget it. Just put a rubber band on it and And let it be curled. I didn't really want the braids to show in the ponytail just the curls So that's why I was trying to figure out how to wrap it around where I could hide the braided part And my daughter wanted to leave it hanging down, of course, but I thought it was cuter wrapped around in a bun So I figured out a way to wrap it around in a bun Okay, so we're now we're to the end of this video I want to thank you guys for watching and let me know in the comments Um how you like the style how it came out and if you would do anything differently And also don't forget to subscribe Thanks guys You
