welcome beautiful people i am chev b if you are new to this channel welcome wah gwan make sure
you're subscribed down below now for today's video i'm going to show you guys how to do the
distressed butterfly faux locs now my hair is already prepped so i washed it last night and
twisted up using leave-in conditioner and some avocado oil so i didn't want to do this part on
camera because obviously it's typical doing some twists so i braided the roots and then twist the
ends make sure that my hair is moisturized because your hair is about to be locked in so you want to
make sure that while it's in there as long as you can keep it and maybe some people want to
wear this for like weeks or months you want to make sure that your hair is well taken care of
so i just used my certified bella scalp oil because i have eczema on the scalp i want to
make sure that my my scalp is healthy i want to make sure that it's anti-itch ready and also i
use the miche the mesh oil on it as well and then i just take my fingertips and massage the oil in
now the hair that i'm using today is lulu tress and this is their water wave in 18 inches
now usually people use the freetress hair i want you to do more of an ombre type of color more like
a light or golden rather 27 color and i couldn't find it in my beauty supply store in the freetress
hair brand so i found this in the lulu dress and this is what we're going with and i'm also going
to be using the ultra expression springy afro twist and i'm going to show you guys how i'm going
to incorporate both hair in this method and the reason for incorporating both hair and this one is
in i think this is a 22 inches but it doesn't even really matter what life uses in if you want to get
it in a shorter length that's even better so i started my hair off camera because this is my
first time doing the butterfly distressed effect so i want to make sure that i do it how i want it
to look before i show it on camera now it has more of a distressed look rather than a butterfly like
a overly done butterfly look because that was the look i was going for i didn't want it to be too
messy and distressed but at the same time i still wanted it to have that look now this
is where the afro spring twist comes into play so this is the amount that i use for each lock
and what i like to do is um make sure i have this piece then i'm going to um use edge
control on my edges now i ran out of the shine and john magic finger so i'm going to be using
what i have left so this is what i have so i'm going to use it on each parting
and make sure that it's good and neat but as you guys can see less tension on my roots
because the hair is not tight because when you put on when you do the full the faux locs
your hair is going to look neat at the root so you don't need to plant your hair all the way
at the roots you can make sure that it's nice and loose now i'm using two strand of the lulu
tries to do each parting no i do not remember or know how much parting i did i did not cone
it at all but you guys can see the spacing that i did to see how big or small you want yours to be
now i crochet both hairs through and then i separate one side of the hair that i pull
through the crochet hook now this side is the side that i'm going to be using to wrap around the hair
now the reason why i use the ultra afro spring twist is to make sure that my hair gets a
fuller look the last time i did faux locs like the bob look i use my hair and then the
the hair to wrap around it and it was a little bit too thin for my liking and if i only use the
lulu tress hair the only the the ombre hair i feel like it would be still too thin for how
the look i was going for so that is where the afro twist comes into play it gives it a more
fluffed up look a more fuller look the look that i was going for so this is a method that
i do so to get the distressed butterfly look you see that thumb action that i did if you
want to go ahead and replay but i'm going to do another one to show you like more in depth
but you put your thumb and then slide it out to give it that raveled up pulled out look and then
you just keep doing that how many times you want i didn't do it a lot of times i do it maybe like
three times per lock and then i keep wrapping until the end of the first piece is done and
then i take the end of the second piece and cut the bob or cut the ultra afro spring hair the
length that i want it to be and then i go under my thumb or over my finger and then start to wrap
upwards now there's different ways people use to make sure their wrap their lock doesn't unravel
i just continue to wrap around until that stringy piece is like wrapped full around
some people like to use a lighter and just burn the end of the part that they finished
wrapping now i'm just going to demonstrate one more time so you guys could see so first
crochet the afro the afro spring to his hair then crochet in the lulu dress hair
then you unravel one side or fluffle one side rather and that is the piece that you'll be
wrapping around to create your full lock look now as you guys can see your hair is fully
snuck like tug what am i saying your hair is fully tucked in so moisturizing is very important you
want to make sure the hair is freshly washed you want to make sure that your hair is moisturized
to the fullest while wearing this style now you just keep wrapping
and what i like to do is like the base of the hair i don't do the distressed look i just make
sure that it's not perfectly neat but like neat at the roots and then after i get to the blonde
part i start to do the distressed look so i'm going to slow down just to make you guys see the
how we do the butterfly effect so once that end is finished the first end then i take the other
piece that is already inside with the afro spring twist and then i just continue downwards so this
will make it have a more elongated look so it'll make it look longer the length that i'm going for
and then when i've reached the length i cut the afro spring to it so i'm gonna slow down here just
to show you guys the thumb action so i use the thumb to lift the hair then slide my thumb
out and then i continue to wrap and do that again if i wish to have more of the butterfly
effect on the lock or if i just want it to be distressed so i go a little bit faster afterwards
because i got the hang of it and then i'm going to show you guys how i cut the afro spring
twist once i reach the length that i'm looking for now you could do a asymmetric bob with this
style you could do a neater bob i just wanted the hair to be at a deep like a similar length but not
a perfectly similar length because i wanted it to look a little bit ruggedy but still need and then
i wrap back around and then just roll the hair to make sure that it stays in if you're not if you
feel like the hair isn't secured how you want it you can always as i said use a little bit of fire
not a lot be very careful with the lighter and um maybe burn that piece that you used so because
the end is like maybe close to your hair when it's going back up you want to be careful to make sure
that your hair is nowhere near where you're going to burn but i feel like it's a safer thing to just
roll it up like roll it between your hands or just to make sure that the stringy part goes
like super tugged in so i'm just gonna demonstrate one more time
and then we are all done if you didn't understand by me talking about it the demonstration is way
better so you can always rewind the video to go back to a part that you need to see
now i'm going to take some mousse this is the three in one conditioning mousse sorry about my
lighting it was like really sunny this day and um i'm going to take the mousse and just pat it on
my hair so actually it wasn't sunny this was night time so my lighting was just off anyways
um it took me about six hours to do this i was moving really slow i was tired i went to bed
and this is the next morning that i'm taking down um the locks because i tied it up i went to bed i
tied up with a hair tie and then a bonnet like a big bonnet you can get it at a resupply store
then i'm taking this mist from cream of nature it is a shine mist and i just spray it on the lock
every day to give it that um like fresh new look so i sprayed on the roots of the hair not on the
actual lock itself and this also like conditions my scalp it makes my scalp feel so much better
if i get an itch or anything it just makes my scalp feels like brand new so i use that and
i use my certified bella like every other day now you can use whatever edge control
you want to use i'm using the same edge control that i used to do my hair because i didn't know
like the reaction to different type of edge controls because i already used this on
the root of my hair so i'm going to use it on my edges but be comfortable with whatever you want
to use and make sure that it's anti flake and anti residue because you don't want to
do that because it's so much harder to get that ish out of your hair when you're trying
to go for a long lasting look so i'm gonna tie it down let it dry and then i'm gonna do my makeup
okay beautiful people this is the final look let me know what you guys are thinking about
this ombre butterfly distressed faux loc i am absolutely loving the texture the lulu trust
um texture here is giving me more like a kinky vibe as opposed to the freetress and i am really
feeling it i am so so in love i love the distress look because for people who are not like braiders
or not professionals this type of style is like an imperfection type of style like you don't have to
do it perfectly but it still comes out bomb so let me know what you guys think all the details
