-Hey, everyone.
I'm Mindy from "Cute Girls Hairstyles."
And today, I'm going to show you a hairdo I'm
calling triple-braided tieback.
So to begin, we have parted her hair.
You can see, I did a middle part and then I
parted from that middle part down
to just the very back of her ear.
And I've done it on both sides.
I already have this side parted.
And then I've pulled the remainder of her hair
just back into an elastic.
Now to do this, what we're going to do
is we're going to create three sections so that we
create three braids going back.
So we want to make the braids as even as possible.
And because her hair on top is thicker and a little bit
heavier than the hair down here by her ears,
you're going to start with a much smaller section
on the top like that.
And then you're going to just-- I'm
just going to take an elastic and just twist it
so it's out of my away, but holding that hair
into place like that.
And then I'm going to go and section off another section.
I'm going to do a little bit bigger this section this time.
But then you want to feel-- I can
feel I don't have enough hair on the bottom
so I'll go back and resection it.
That's better.
Straighten out that part line.
There we go.
OK.
So we have our six total little sections,
three on each side of her head.
And we've got them secured out of the way.
And we're going to start on this bottom piece.
This is a lightweight hairspray and it's mostly just
to help control these baby hairs right here.
And I'm going to start a braid.
Now most people would think you'd want a braid going back.
But in actuality, you want to start the braid and go down.
So that's trick number one is that when you do your braids,
just tug them down.
And I'll explain why when we get towards the end
of the hairstyle.
But you're just going to go ahead
and braid each section down.
And this is the only part that might take you just a second
just getting these braids done.
They'll be some cute when it's all done.
You can see from her outfit that it's almost Christmas here.
And we're so excited.
Are you excited?
-Yeah.
-It's come really fast this year.
Has it gone fast for you?
-Mhm.
Really fast.
-OK.
When you get to the end, you only
have to go down far enough to pull it back
to the very center of her head.
So this is plenty long.
I'm just going to secure it with an elastic
or you could have-- if you're doing it on yourself,
secure it with an elastic.
If you're doing it on somebody else,
you can have them hold it.
And then we are going to poof.
And your braids are done.
I bet you guys wish you had some of that magic.
So once you've got them all finished up,
you're going to take the top braid
and you're going to pull it back.
And this is why we braided it down
because if you braid it back, it would end up just coming back
like this and creating almost like a line.
And we don't want that.
So by braiding them to the sides then
it falls gently towards the sides of her head.
Makes it a lot prettier.
Take an elastic and go ahead and just decide
where you want it together and secure them.
I'm going to just make sure I like that.
That looks good.
OK.
Then you're just going to pull the other elastics out and let
the braid undo.
Undo.
Is that a word?
Unbraid.
Let it-- anyway.
Then you're going to take the next ones.
And you're going to do the same thing.
You're going to lay them back, go down just a little bit,
and then you're going to add this little ponytail of hair
into it as well.
So you're going to take one of these elastics
again and secure them together.
And then place it where you want it.
I want to tug that one.
There.
Perfect.
Go ahead and take the elastics out of the ends
and let the braids come undone.
OK.
And last but not least, the last layer.
Same thing.
Pick up the extra hair.
Grab one more elastic and join them together.
And there you go.
You have a really pretty braided hairstyle.
Pull the ends out, the elastics.
Let it unbraid.
And then if you want to you can even
add a bow in there right at the bottom if you'd like.
I kind of like it just by itself because then it
adds a little bit more accent to the braid.
And just add a little finishing spray.
And you are finished.
Here's the final hairstyle.
And this one's a big attention getter.
People love this one.
Do you have anything to add?
-Yeah.
