- Hey everyone.
Kayley your friendly neighborhood hairstylist here.
And today it's all about the holo.
(dance music)
So today we're tackling wearable holographic hairstyles.
I say wearable because the last time
I did a holographic hairstyle
it was maybe a little less wearable.
But I realize that holographic tinsel
could be really great in a hairstyle.
So I decided to go ahead and make some wearable versions
using holographic tinsel.
It's my two biggest loves come together.
It's me as a braidaholic and me as holosexual.
I mean...
If you're not as much into the holo on a specific day
you can leave the tinsel out.
And all these hairstyles will still look supercool as is.
So that being said
let's get into it.
Before we talk hairstyles
let's talk about how to procure the holo.
The first one is from Party City.
You go down the kid's aisle.
And you go to the princess party section
and pick up one of these for a dollar.
It's a hair clip with holo on it.
You just pull of the bow and it's ready to use.
It's very sparkly silver holo.
My next recommendation is to check out
fly fishing materials.
Because you can get a spool of holographic tinsel.
This is nine yards long for $2.
And this comes in any color in the rainbow.
So you can really get as crazy and fun
as you want on a budget.
Alright, that's where you can get the goods.
Let's talk about how to put them in your hair.
Alright, for our fist hairstyle
I thought we'd do something easy.
This is actually a take on Shay Mitchell's braids
from last year.
Which I did a tutorial on last year as well.
But this year we're gonna make it holo.
You can put as many braids as you want.
Wherever you want.
But I'm gonna do a braid here.
Here.
And then behind my ear on each side.
Let's go ahead and roll that clip.
(dance music)
Now that our braids are in
we're gonna roll them up with holo.
If you buy the holo on a roll
you want to measure it to be the length of your hair.
So that's what I did.
Went from the root to the end.
And then I cut a bunch of strands to that length.
And then you can knot one side.
And you have this nice little extension
that you can braid into your hair.
So I'm just gonna to put a bobby pin through it.
And pin that underneath the braid.
Split your holo piece of hair into two.
And that way you have three sections
the braid
holo one
and holo two.
And you're gonna braid normally all the way down.
Literally like we just did
but this time with holo.
(dance music)
I'm gonna go ahead and slid the bobby pin off.
And braid as far as I want to.
And then secure it with an elastic.
And then you can take the bobby pin out of the top.
And that is our holo wrapped braid.
If you just have three more braids to cover in holo.
So there's your holo wrapped braids.
I love this.
I actually like it more than the original.
I love that it's easy and quick.
It kinda reminds me of old school hair wraps
but like so much better.
I'm here for it.
And now in honor of my previous holographic video
let's do a high ponytail.
For this you're gonna want some long strands of holo.
So I have six strands at 10 feet long.
And on each side I have wrapped it up with tape
to keep the holo from just dispersing everywhere.
It's kinda like a holo shoelace.
First things first
you're gonna put your hair into a very high ponytail.
I think a hairstyle like this would be really good
on someone with hair like Cristine of Simply Nailogical.
Queen of all things holo.
Because super-duper long hair just makes
this hairstyle more dramatic.
And once everything's in place
you can secure it with an elastic.
Now pretend you're like you're a stage mom
at a child beauty pageant
and hairspray the base of that ponytail like crazy.
(cough)
Now we're gonna take a small piece of hair from the ponytail
and wrap it around the hair elastic.
So that we can cover it up.
And now you're just gonna braid the hair in the ponytail
all the way to the end and secure it with an elastic.
And you guessed it.
Now we're gonna wrap it up with holo.
So I'm gonna fold my massive holo shoelace in half
and put a bobby pin through the middle.
And bobby pin it into the base of my ponytail.
So from here
you can either wrap or braid it with the hair
like we did in the last hairstyle.
Totally up to you.
I'm just gonna wrap mine around
because I find that really nice and easy.
Especially when you're dealing with such long strands.
And then I'm gonna use a hair elastic to hold it in place.
So there's our holo ponytail.
This thing is great.
I feel like a popstar.
And also my hair could double as a weapon if needed.
(laughing)
Ow.
Moving on, we have this holo half updo.
First thing we're gonna do is pick up the top of your hair
like you normally would for a half updo.
And put it in an elastic.
Then we're just gonna wrap that ponytail into a bun.
And now we get to add in the holo braids.
So for this one you can either use your Party City clip
or some precut pieces of holo.
Gonna start off with one of the precut pieces on a bobby pin
and bobby pin it up underneath the hair that we swept back.
Then split the holo into two.
And grab some hair underneath it.
Then grab one more section of just hair.
And that's the three sections for your braid.
(upbeat music)
And once you get to the end
you can secure it with an elastic.
So I'm just gonna pull a braid apart
and massage a little.
And continue doing that all the way up the braid.
Get to that kind of distressed look.
But also make sure that the holo is visible.
And there you go.
That's our first braid.
Now we're just gonna repeat that two more times.
And I'm gonna show you how to do it
if you have the Party City clip.
So of course the first order of business
is to remove the bow.
And then you're ready to clip this into the hair.
I'm just going to go ahead and clip it up and under the bun.
Then you continue on just like we did with the first braid.
(upbeat music)
And now just one more.
(upbeat music)
And there's your holo half up do.
I think this one will be particular fun
with multiple colors of holo.
Or different kinds of braids mixed all together.
And now we have a holographic corset braid
which was inspired by Lady Gaga's hair at the Grammy's.
The first thing we have are two french laced braids
that go back at an angle.
You're gonna start with a small piece of hair
right here at the corner of your headline and your part.
And then you're gonna start braiding normally.
Because this is a lace braid
we're only adding in hair from the side next to our face.
So whenever you get to this side
you can pick up your new hair
and put it with your braiding section and braid over.
But then on the other side you just have to braid normally.
And again on this side.
Add in some new hair.
And on the opposite side braid normally.
And you're gonna continue braiding back at an angle
until all the hair over your ear is in the lace braid.
Now that all the hair over your ear is in the lace braid
you can braid the rest normally.
Once you're done braiding you can secure it with an elastic.
And now we repeat the same thing on the other side.
(dance music)
Once the braids are done we're gonna take them in the back
And pin them in place in a little v.
To get them ready to be laced up.
And now it's time for the holo.
And for this hairstyle we're using the same tape wrapped
10 foot long strands that we did for the ponytail.
And now I folded it half
and I'm gonna put the middle of it on top of my head.
And clip that in place.
So we're gonna start on the first side.
Pierce through.
And pull it tight.
And now cross your string to the other side
and pierce in place there.
And from here you wanna just keep ping ponging
from side to side until the braids touch.
So here at the end once the two braids touch
it's kind of a free for all.
You can do whatever you want.
I'm actually gonna take the needle off
and then wrap figure eights around the two braids
that we have left.
Now the bottom I think I'm just gonna kinda wrap
it around like this.
Partially because I'm tired of doing the figure eights.
Alright, I'm gonna stop here for now.
And just secure it with an elastic
so nothing comes unraveled.
And we're gonna do the other side.
And as you do that you're gonna look
for the spaces in between where you went last time.
And that way you'll create nice little x's.
(dance music)
For the tail I'm gonna go ahead and sew
a couple of figure eights in there.
Just to keep that theme going.
And then I'm gonna switch back to wrapping.
Once you're done you can secure it with an elastic.
And there you go.
That is a corset braid with holo.
Which I think is a significant improvement
on the corset braid.
And there you go.
That's our wearable holographic hairstyles.
And I'm gonna say it
I think holo tinsel is better than glitter.
Because it's just as shiny.
It's just as memorizing.
But it's not as messy.
And it's new.
I feel like we've done as much as we're gonna go do
with hair plus glitter.
So I'm really excited to play around
with hair tinsel some more.
And just figure out how many more shiny
shifting rainbow hairstyles I could do.
Because this ladies and gentlemen
tip of the iceberg.

Now I'm just threading my end through a blunt
if I can get it in there.
Now that the braids are in
it's time for
♪ holo. ♪
That was less dramatic than I thought it would be.
I have to say my focus face is very derby.
So I have to remind myself to look somewhat pleasant
while I'm doing these hairstyles.
