- Hey, everyone, I Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
Today we are going to attempt butterfly locs on Paisleys.
And I'm doing a no rap method.
So they're crochet in, but they look just as good.
If you have not already subscribed to our channel,
you can click the button right here.
To do that, make sure you're following along.
And let's try the locs. I have decided
I've seen it done a lot of different ways.
I know you can wrap your own locs.
I personally think that seems
like it's really time consuming.
And I wanted to try a little bit different method
where you crochet the locs in
that I've seen that looked honestly amazing.
Like literally just as good. And so we're gonna try that.
And hope it turns out.
Okay, this is the hair I'm using today.
This is just what they had at the beauty supply store.
I actually wish they had it in the 16 inch,
but they were out of it. So I got the 12 inch
was either that or really, really long.
And I didn't want that either.
So this is what we're going with today
was kind of expensive at the beauty supply store.
I'll check the price on Amazon
and let you know which one's cheaper.
Okay, so this is what we're starting with,
last night, I completely did her wash routine.
And I didn't want to do heat drying last night.
So I banded it so that I could stretch her hair.
So we've got a really nice stretch,
I'm going to take these out.
And then that's what we're starting with.
Okay, so I pulled out all of the banding and
this is what we have, really nice stretched hair.
And we're ready to start. (upbeat music)
Okay, here is step one, I have basically parted her hair
Into four quadrants. So four pretty much even sections,
I took it from the center part all the way down
to just about the tip of her ear
just slightly behind her ears.
(upbeat music)
This is always the slowest, I feel like
and my most challenging part. And that's parting.
So we did those four quadrants I showed you before,
but then I basically turned each quadrants.
This is one right here into four subsections.
So here's another one. You see that
and another here and another here.
So what we're gonna do is end up,
we're gonna take the pieces that we work on up here
and we're gonna pull them back into cornrows in the back
when we're done. But this completed just makes my job
a lot easier and faster from this point on.
(upbeat music)
Okay, guys, so all of those sections I showed you before,
this is what they turn into. So basically,
I sub divided each of those sections.
I did two here, three here, four here in
the next one will be four as well. And then in that section,
start a small braid that I feed
into another section of braid,
another braid, another braid.
And instead of doing a cornrow,
I did the braids, because I wanted it
to still keep the box shape.
So when we put the crochets in, it leaves
that box shape underneath. So I'll show you on this top one.
So you can see I have this parted.
And it's just basically like,
just literally a three strand braid.
So braiding.(upbeat music)
And I'm just going to do like three
or four stitches like this.You can see the gel in her hair.
And when I get to a point where I think
it will reach the next section, I go back here
and I divide this into three strands as well.
(upbeat music)
And then I pick these back up and put them in.
(upbeat music)
This one on the side, then sew them down really tight.
Then, and you can see I'll
just feeds in into the next section.
Okay, update. We are now watching the video.
But you can see where this has now turned in.
So I started here turned it into a cornrow went down,
pull that end up, started the next cornrow
and I'm just weaving those ends into the cornrows as I go.
Now I'm halfway so we're gonna finish the other half
- Are we adding fake hair?
- We will in a minute but we have to finish all
the cornrows first, how do you like it so far?
- I didn't get to see it.
You haven't seen yet. - No.
- We'll surprise you with the end?
- No, I wanna know now.
- Okay, so this is my last one. You can see where
this braid ended. And now I'm just starting
to feed it in to this braid right here.
And I'm gonna just make a cornrow.
So I know that was hard to see.
But essentially you're just transitioning it
from a braid to a cornrow. When they get to
right, next stitch probably. On this side,
and picking up this end of this braid.
And I'm just gonna feed it in here too.
So now (musical whistles)
that braid comes in.
(musical whistles)
So you need to feed in.
A cornrow as we go, pick up hair
all the way down.
And so you can see we just kept adding in
adding and adding in. We're all the way at this end.
And when I get finished, I'll just take this
and weave it in right here, and it'll be placed.
Okay, we are done to this point.
You can see it's all braided up.
Now it's time to add in the hair.
Okay, we're halfway done, how you doing Pais?
- Good, I wanna to leave it like this.It's cute
- And we're all getting tired
so it's time to be done. - I'm not.
- But each of these little locs
has a hook at the top like this.
Then we have our crochet needle,
you just take it and you put it under,
(upbeat music)
under the hair like this, and then pull it back through.
Easy Pais.And then I take it back through and grab the end
(upbeat music)
- And then pull it tight - and then pull through.
That just helps pull it through.
And then you tighten it down. Like this.
And it sits in place. And then you repeat like a 1000 times.
(chuckles) A lot.Huh Paisy.
- Just a little bit. - Okay, at long last
turn and let me see spin all the way around.
And then the fun part is because we did the box parts,
she can flip like that.
Or we can pull it up - into a bun.
- With hair down and do twisty buns right here.
Babe yawns. - [Man's Voice] It's late you
- It is late. - [Man's Voice] Midnight.
All those crochets - What time is it?
- Crotchets are done.
