wah
gwan beautiful people i am Chev B welcome back to my channel for today's video i'm going to show you
guys how to do the butterfly braids without doing the feed-in method so the hair that i'm using
today is from ultra and this is their new braided up braids and it is a hundred percent candy colon
it's pre-stretched it has more volume and it has three bundles in a pack now the color that i'm
using is the 2t 1b slash 30 in 56 inches and as you guys can see this hair is pre-stretched and
ready to go so the first thing i like to do when i'm doing a style is i like to use my certified
bella scalp oil on my scalp if you're new here i have eczema on the scalp and for the last year i
have been able to maintain steady growth usually i'll get a bald spot in the back left side of my
hair but for the past year i have not had a bald spot and this is the only thing that i have been
using consistently so the first thing i'm going to do is part my hair how i'm going to be doing
this style now this style was recommended by a subscriber asked on instagram what style should
i do next and someone suggested butterfly braids i had no idea what that was so i googled it and it
seemed like it's been a style that has been around since maybe a year or two and basically um it's
basically like feeding braids but making it a little bit juicier so i'm going to be trying
my hand in it but if you guys know already i cannot braid for ish so this will be a real
challenge so what i just use is my miche scalp oil as well uh my parting look a little bit dry
so i just put the scalp oil right on the parting so that it looks fresh and somewhat professional
so to do this method i'm going to section part of that parting i know i'm very bad at explaining
sometimes so i hope just seeing it will help you guys to like understand what i'm doing
i need to make sure that i get the hair slick so i'm going to be using the shine and jam
magic fingers so for this part i'm doing section by section parting so that my hair is flat
as you guys can see i have somewhat long nails it's never hindered me from doing a style but
knowing that i cannot braid that well i am going to be trying my absolute best so if
you're a braider this should be super easy for you for my non braiders are my beginners
we're in the struggle together so i'm just going to keep sectioning and putting the magic finger
shining jam on my hair and what i realized with the shine and jam a lot of braiders use it it does
not flake it does not cause that white stuff and it's just a really good type of slit down product
for braiding it's not so well when i'm trying to do like a slick bun or something but it's really
good for braiding i'm going to try my best it's going to look like a little bit of a struggle
but um i'm going to be trying my best to get my hair as flat as i can and also you want to
get this as small as you can i wish i could have gotten it smaller i tried my best but
it would be really great if you get this braid to be as small as you can and you'll see why later on
uh now this is what the hair is looking out of the package i'll be only using one pack of
this hair to do this style if you want the hair to be fluffier you can use more than one pack
but i only needed one pack for this look so um this is my first bundle that i'll be using
now the method i'll be using because i cannot fit in braid and for my girls who can't fit in
braid this is for y'all so what we'll be doing is a crochet type method so you want to pay attention
to this you guys know i love me my crochet method like crocheting has never failed me
yet i've always found a way to do styles that i can't do that involves braiding by using crochet
here crochet has never failed me so um what we're going to be doing is crocheting the braiding hair
onto our braid so this is what i meant when i say you want to get this braid as small as you
can so the back part that i couldn't get to be as small as i could yeah it's going to be a little
bit fluffed up but the look is supposed to be a fluffed up look regardless but you still want
to get that base braid to be as small as you can so i'm just going to continue to do that so i use
half the pack so that's a bundle and a half on each of these braids so i go all the way down
to the lap of my neck so you're not going to go down on the end of the braid
you're just going to go down to like the last part before you like clap down now this part it's a
little bit tricky so you want to pay attention so this is where you're going to blend your hair into
the crocheting braiding here to make it look like you actually did a feed in method so i also use
the shine and jam magic fingers to slick down this front part and then we're going to try our hands
again at this braiding thing and try to get the braiding hair to blend in with your natural hair
so obviously this style takes at least a beginner type braider to do um but
as much as i am a beginner braider i cannot feed in or i haven't learned fully how to
feed in so this method has helped me now for the butterfly braiding look basically
it's to get the braid to look fluffed up a bit the further down you go with the braid
um you can do that later on as well so my only challenge with this part is is obviously trying
to make sure that the hair doesn't tangle so you have to keep like running your fingers through
each time you grab a piece of hair to make sure that you don't get any knots so you just want to
take your time now at first it looks a little bit crazy i was a little bit worried because
you need to get that braid fluffy so that your hair it doesn't show that you actually use hair
on top of a braid if you know what i'm saying this is how the butterfly look comes in handy
it's going to be fluffed up anyways i was a little bit scared that it looked crazy but keep fluffing
and you'll see how the finished look will look in the end so it doesn't matter if a little bit of
um like the inner corners or the inside of the braid itself you can see that like the
braid itself isn't lying on it and you can see a little bit of where you crocheted because of that
butterfly look essentially it looks like that's how it's supposed to look so it is okay so i'm
just gonna do the other side and then i'm going to show you guys how we complete the entire look
now to blend your hair um obviously because you got natural hair you're trying to blend it with
the braids make sure that you use the shine and jam to try to blend your hair in so if you have
a little piece poking out that's okay you can use a little bit of the shine and jam to put on your
hair because as i said it doesn't flake and it doesn't cause the white stuff and white residue so
you it's safe to put on the hair as long as you don't put like a boat load on top of the braid
now this part i'm just trying to make a big braid with the two braids
so that um they could blend in together now this part doesn't have to be perfect like this look
it's just a basic look for beginners right you're trying to find like a quick
style because this style didn't take long at all i think this style took me about 45 minutes to do
so this is just a quick style that you could put in for the week or maybe longer depending on how
neat you keep it i'm even wearing this style for the last three days so far and it has held up
really well all i have to do is tie it down with a scarf at night and then i put the end of the braid
in a bonnet and i'm totally fine so i'm just going to braid down not to the end but just a little bit
of of the ends out because i'm going to put some perm rods on it later on now this part you can
accessorize how you want to accessorize i put some um braiding clips on where my hair meets the the
braiding hair just to you know make it look like it blend in a little bit like i actually feed in
and then i'm going to take some braiding cord and just wrap it around my base just to create
a style you can do whatever you want to do with this part even if you don't want to add
the jewels just be creative with it or don't be creative creative with it it's all your choice
now i'll be using my she is bomb edge control and of course you guys know we've been using this in
my last couple of videos and then i'm going to tie that down um to just leave my hair to stay down
for a bit while i do my makeup and finish up the style now this part i'm doing a curly goddess type
end to the braid so i'll be doing some flexi rod set so what i do is put them in some flexi rods
and um dip it in hot water for just about like a minute and a half like nothing long
and then i leave it to dry while i do my makeup and it's like that simple for the end look
now that my makeup is done and my hair is dry i'm going to be using the cream of nature
pure honey shine mist just to put on the hair itself just to make it look fresh make it look
like it was somewhat professional as i said this is just a quick style you could do for my girls
who can't feed in this is just a method it's not gonna look perfect for your first time at
least it didn't look perfect for me for my first time trying this but i was pleasantly surprised
with how my hair came out like i'm like girl you really did that this was a first attempt and i'm
not mad at it right i am not mad at it at all and this is our final look thank you guys so much for
hanging out with me today i hope this tutorial was helpful and i hope i was helpful in helping you
