Hello my love's in today's video
I'm going to share how I parted my hair for my Senegalese twists. This method can work for any style like box braids, passion twists
Or goddess locks and is perfect for anyone who has a hard time parting their own hair. Let's go ahead and get into it
You definitely want to start off a stretch hair just because it does make parting a lot easier and if you have hella long hair
Like me, this is so necessary. So definitely stretch or blow out your hair before you even start
When I first attempted parting my own hair for my senegalese twist, I had a really really difficult time getting really decent
Nice looking parts, especially the back of my head but with practice I've been able to part it in a way
That's not too challenging for me and it's all about breaking it down into little steps
So don't attempt u-parting it right away. That is really really difficult
I like to part my hair in four sections first, and then I go ahead and create the Box parts from there
So an important tip for any of you who have a hard time parting the back of your hair
Like I did look it doesn't have to be perfect
But it is very helpful to have two mirrors one in front of you and one
Behind you and that mirror behind you needs to be reflecting the mirror in front of you if that makes iif that makes any sense.
I'm so sorry
if I'm saying this and it's like confusing the hell out of you
but just play around the mirrors until you can see the back of your head clearly and just to break down how I part the
back of my head
I basically just separate a small section and then clean it up as I go you'll notice that I didn't really care about this being
Perfect boxes in the back to be honest, I more cared about it being perfect in the front or perfect ish
There's no way I can get it perfect because y'all I am NOT a professional, okay
I'm just someone who likes to experiment and I think it came out pretty good
So just going back to what I said earlier about the u-parting some people just part all the way across their head
I can't do that. So what I do is I part one side
straight and then I go to the other side meet it in the middle and
Then I brush it out so that I could start with one u-ish part
it's not really like a perfect u-part but I brush it out so that I could part my hair in any type of
way that I desire. So if I wanted three boxes, I obviously don't want to split in the middle.
I want to split three in three different parts
Wow, this is like really hard to explain but as you can see, that's basically what I keep on doing
For this one
I totally did not need to even brush it out cuz I was gonna end up parting it in the middle anyway
But just ignore that Ya'll, Okay? Just yeah.
Obviously when you practice you're gonna see what's necessary and what's unnecessary, but um, yeah just right there
I did not need to do that. I could have just left it
Off-camera, I went ahead and finished the rest of the back of my head because it was very hard to film it for you guys
I hope you found it helpful. We're gonna move on to the front section
And in my opinion the front section is the absolute most important. I tried to make them as you know, clean as possible
I'm basically just parting it in boxes, and I'm making sure to
Stack my parts so they don't fall weird. But you you're gonna see what I'm saying in a second
so this second row I'm trying to match it up with the opposite side and I twist the other sections out of the way that
I'm not using and then I'm stacking it
So the part that I made is not directly on top of the other part if that makes sense. It's the right in-between
That's basically what it is. It's not lining up the parts directly on top of each other. It's kind of like
Alternating them. They don't have to be perfect again. They just need to look
You know, neat.
It took me a good hour and a half to do this and I feel like if I wasn't filming it would have been quicker.
So we finally finished the whole head that was exhausting
My arms were really hurting after that. If you want to do this the day before you start Senegalese twists,
I highly recommend it. I ended up with about 50 twists. I believe it was like 45 to 50 twists
