- Hi, guys, I'm Katie.
- And I'm Charlie.
- And we're here to show you a super cool princess braid.
We got this little tutu princess theme going on,
so we thought we'd show you something really fun
and girly.
We're going to incorporate some dutch braids
and glitter in this one and we hope you like it.

This is definitely a style
that you want to start with damp hair.
We started, we just gave her a bath and we washed her hair.
I'm going to take a deep side part
and I'm going to take it across her head diagonally
to the other side.
This is going to even out the pigtails,
they way they turn out,
so that there's not all the hair on one side.
So, I'll start over here.
Now, I'm going to continue this part diagonally
all the way down, off center right back here.
I'm going to put one section in a ponytail
just to keep it out of the way
while I work on the other side.
I'm going to start on this right side right here.
Take a section and you're just going to do a dutch braid
all the way down to the bottom of the head.
Something I wanted to mention,
when I'm doing braids like this that are pigtail braids
and you're going to continue all the way down.
Instead of making your last section on this side,
pull it through to the other side
and that's going to keep your braid nice and tight
at the bottom of her head instead of making this loose
thing stand out.
Just braid all the way to the end
and finish with an elastic.
Now, we're going to go to the other side
and do the same thing.
On this side, you're going to have a little bit more
braid showing in the front.
What I'd like to do is take a small piece from here
and try to carry it across her forehead as best you can
and then around to the back.
Okay, so here are your finished braids.
How do you like it Charlie, does it feel good.
Good.
Now we're going to add the glitter.
Me and Charlie both are obsessed with gold,
is our favorite color, right.
So, we're going to use gold glitter.
- Gold, gold, gold, gold.
- [Katie] Gold, gold, gold.
We got this stack of glitter from Walmart
and it has three sizes, so there's big chunky glitter,
middle and tiny.
So we're going to be trying to do an ombre effect,
we'll see how it works out.
We are going to be putting it in some hair gel.
What Charlie and I did was we took some teacups,
we put a little bit of each size in each teacup
and added some pumps of hair gel into each one.
We're going to start with the large glitter at the base
and I mix that up.
You can mix as you go.
Let's do this glitter first
and then we can use the same brush
and mix the next on and so on.
If you don't have one of these brushes,
you can also use a paint brush.
These you can get at any beauty supply.
I found the best way to do it is to scoop a little bit
onto your brush and you're actually going to,
from here, brush it down onto the head
and you're just going to pat it back like this.
You can pat it up, it tends to stick to the brush
a little too much if you don't do it this way.
Whatever way works for you is also good.
This is just the way we found that works best for us.
You don't really want any sparkle on the top of the braid,
only the sides, so just brush it off if you get it on there.
We're moving onto the next side.
I'm just going to show you how I mix this in.
Squirt some gel in, mix it in.
You like it.
- [Charlie] Ah!
- Okay, face the camera. - I love!
- [Katie] I'm going to start on the top.
This is where I want most of the ombre to show up
is from here to here.
I just start a little bit past
where I did that bigger glitter.
You can also mix it a little bit too if you want.
Now for the last size of glitter, the tiny one.
Mix it in, so pretty, yeah?
Really fine glitter and this is going to go -
- On the braid.
On the braid?
- [Katie] No, it's going to go the last
and you can just kind of.
Here, turn.
- Oh, so it goes everywhere?
- [Katie] There you go.
- That one goes everywhere?
- Yeah and you can go up the braid with this one
and paint the fly aways down a little bit,
because it doesn't matter.
For the top just scrap off your brush
and just go from the part, down,
so you still have some glitter but it's going to be
add to that ombre effect.
You can see I did over here.
It also keep your fly aways down really well.
As you can see, it really makes the braids stand out.
There's all kinds of ombre glitter on the actual hair
and the roots but the braid has no glitter,
so it just really pops.
Thank you so much for watching, guys,
we hope you enjoy this.
We had so much fun with all this glitter
and we totally love how it turned out.
Do you?
I know I do, but I feel a little bit left out.
I think I need some glitter on me.
Can you take a pinch and put some glitter on me>
- Where? - On my head.
Perfect, okay thank you, Charlie.
