hey guys how you doing i hope you're well as you can see from the top of this video i'll be
showing you guys how i basically achieved this look this is the janae aiko inspired
what do we call this goddess box braids so it's just box braids kind of like chunky box braids
jumbo box braid with a bit of a twist honey it's got curls at the bottom but i had this ombre
curly hair sitting there as you guys know i do people's hair so i've got lots of spare hair
so hence why i went with this but feel free to use black hair if you like this for a bit
of spice then go ahead i'm going to leave all the details down below links and everything that i use
um to basically achieve this um just an fyi like i said um i'm gonna look like two different people
from now because i've just tried to do this makeup look um i was following like a tutorial
and then um yeah you're gonna see me after like my don't be faced it's guarantine we don't look like
this every day you know i mean i use expression for these two packs of expression i'm gonna um i'm
gonna say use two and a half packs um i'm gonna try and explain why but if you can just use two
packs but in total i believe i've got like 22 or 24 i'm gonna put on the screen the exact number
and then for the curls i use a human hair you don't have to do this i just had some spare you
can i'm gonna put some synthetic types down below um that is similar to this curls and yeah you can
try and achieve this at home i know the shops are not open but you can still kind of grab these hair
on like amazon ebay or even like beauty supply stores are now doing like home deliveries so yeah
it took me i'm not even gonna lie maybe about six hours if i'm honest because i had to pull the hair
part the hair like i did a lot of prep and then you got to prep this hair if i literally just sat
down the whole day and started from the morning it would have taken me like you know that time
or less but i did it the night before and then i carried on the next morning long for man just to
get started you're gonna need to part your hair if you've got thin hair like mine or if you even if
you've got thicker hair um but you're gonna need to part your hair in six sections and pretending
that you're gonna cut um six cane rose so i've got one here another here one in the middle there and
then it's the same so i've got six like separate strands as as i undo them i'm gonna keep them and
then part them and tie some elastic bands so guys what i'll be doing right now is just cleaning the
part as i mentioned i'm going to part it into six sections and then start parting up the elastic
bands i'm aiming for about 24 individual braids and i tried to count janae's one and it seemed
like she had about 16 like eight on each side but the thing is she's got much thicker hair
i have finer hair so i kind of have to fit in a lot more we're gonna see how that works out
what i'm aiming to do is turn this first section into three
chunky braids so i'm just gonna pop from the front and what i'm gonna do instead of going
straight i'm gonna cut this in like diagonal line
then i'm just going to take an elastic band i've got some clear one
and i'm just gonna do double the work because um i'm gonna reapply some edge
control just to smooth it down when i'm braiding it so i might just untie
the elastic when i'm braiding it but for now i just want to have it there
so there we go we've got three braids here
three individual sections well i've decided three here four here five here does that make sense
three four and five that's what i'm going for and i believe that makes 24.
so guys i've got 24 parts in my hair i know i look crazy but just to show you guys
if you can see that and i just kind of parted it a bit messy like it's all doing different things um
i don't know it's just a bit everywhere not very like um aligned but hopefully that's gonna help
with the look um there you go um just an fyi that i have two packs of expressions a
little bit of a leftover i wanna know like the sizing of the hair how thick it's going to look
i've also got another pack of hair you don't have to use human hair but this is human hair
like just bulk hair human hair and luckily i had this already when i used to do goddess locks i've
got loads of this so this is just you know bulk hair human hair and i really really like this curl
if you can find this in synthetic if um if i can find something that looks similar to this inner
synthetic style i'll link it down below if i can find the human hair style i'll link it down below
you don't have to have get this color i'm just using this color because it's the only thing
that i have in my house and i didn't want to get anything from outside but you can see i'll try
and just get braid from about like this part and then let the curls the expression hair
is quite long so i'm going to cut this in half and i'm going to try and measure out how many
one pack is going to give me so guys here you're going to see me attempt to pull the hair now the
pulling method is supposed to help you um just to get really nice thinner ends and not like heavier
jaggedy ends i don't know how to explain it but i'm just going to be doing that right now and this
is just to kind of elongate the hair because we've cut it in half so if we pull it we're going to get
longer strands to work with if that makes any sense i had 24 braids in the end so what i
decided to do was imagine with your two packs if you were to use expressions the same as me
split the pack in half and each half that you have is gonna be six braids if that makes sense so
you're gonna see me here laying it on the bed so i literally counted each pieces and separated it you
know evenly so for each half there was six pieces so one pack totaled up to 12 pieces right so this
is how i separated it just going to explain this process now um that i basically just came with the
hair and just added the extra the extra curly hair to the bottom you just try and be do it as neat as
you can but you you really can't see where it starts and finishes um so yeah i just kind of
did that and then for the parts like this i can just get a hair band and tie it just to make sure
it doesn't come out but to be honest i feel like it adds to the bohemian look
so guys what you want to do is grab your sectioned hair and grab
your section and put this underneath put your hair your extensions underneath the
sections that you have and then what we're going to do after it's underneath i'm going to try and
zoom this in you want to put your finger so you have one finger under holding that underneath one
finger over on top of the you know sectioned hair or elastic band then we're gonna get the strand
on the right i don't know how you're gonna see this and we're just gonna bring it over
and then underneath here we've got that hair um i'm gonna half kinda half will take a third
of um some of the hair extension there it's very difficult
to explain but just pulling really tight i'm just going to start braiding
after this i'm going to have to kind of clean my hair so that's all fine anyways just braiding down
i'm trying not to do it as tight if you can try and do it looser then it's fine but this is how
mine's coming out length and as i'm going i'm just making sure it stops at the same place
i'm just gonna grab the hair and apply it underneath literally just holding it on one
of the strands it's very difficult to explain but i'm then gonna there it is it's right there
so guys i'm i've got my last three
um hair pieces so i'm just going to show you what i've currently got right now
to be honest i don't know how i feel about it until i put my makeup on
or at least this part is covered maybe it looked good but to be honest i'm happy with
how it's come out because it's quite chunky and my hair is thin hopefully it doesn't look as bad
because the chunkiness is kind of like hidden it i still think it looks bare
i think that's the look that we are going for but yeah let me just
finish the remaining um it's a little stiff right now but we can fix that when we hot water it
so um yeah i'm gonna use that period to kind of like clean my scalp and just put some mints on it
and some conditioner obviously there's a lot of like stranger ends um but don't worry about
that because i'm gonna cut that out um you know i'll give it a nice trim oh we on the last hair
i have finished
i've had to switch to my mobile so i'm just going to see what this looks like
but what i'm going to do from now is put some mousse on it just to kind of set the
top because i'm about to hot water it for the scalp what i do i put mousse
and then i take the hot water wet the towel with the hot water get this end pour the hot water here
and just get so this will be wet with hot water so it will be like that i'm not going to be holding
it i'll be holding it from like here and then i'll use this side to just kind of cover it and do that
if you get it and just squeeze the water out to spread and then what i then use once that's all
hot and warm like you kind of have to be quick because once it's out in the air it gets cool
but you just kind of grab you want to grab it and just do that and that just honestly
actually feels good and then from the bottom i just i'm going to just use a cup and hot water it
strickly ends here which to be honest i kind of like i don't know if i should cut it i'll
probably just clean it up where you know you get something like that and i'll clean it up this side
looks cleaner but i'll tell you what i did so i took an elastic band on areas you see like this
section right here where it's like sticking out i could just go and cut that out which is fine
but what i just did if you don't want to cut that out i literally got the elastic band
to tie around that area and just make sure you're covering the end as your wrapping it
and hopefully i can see that
strand by strand where i just clean it up and you guys don't need to see me do this
um so yeah that's basically it i love this hair it's just two weeks um overgrown now so it may not
look as nice to be honest i think it probably even looks good now but yeah let me know what
you think i really really like it i mean i like it now but i didn't like it before it's
