- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles,
and guess what we're filming today.
If you guessed Wednesday Addams,
you are correct.
So everyone's talking about her,
so why not give you guys the tutorial
showing you how to do her dance braids,
as well as her regular wear everyday braids.
And if you guys haven't already subscribed to the channel,
you can do that by clicking right here,
and let's get to the tutorial.
To start the Wednesday Adam's look,
you are going to have to have a few things with you.
So, I have got some hair gel,
I have some root touch-up,
which I'm just using as hair color
because mine is obviously highlighted
and we need to make it look darker when we're done.
Bobby pins,
some hair elastics.
I found these fake bangs
since I don't have bangs, on Amazon.
My hair's pretty long
but when I do the braids up and over,
it leaves it a little, not as thick as I want,
so I am going to add just some extensions
that I have on hand.
If you have long enough hair,
don't even bother.
First thing I'm gonna do is part my hair down the middle,
so we're just gonna take this section for now
and get it out of the way.
I'm gonna put in the extensions,
I'm gonna do that
by just kind of biting my hair right here by my ear,
and just flipping it out of the way.
This is just a two clip, you can see,
so it's a small weft of hair,
and I'm literally just gonna pop it in.
And again, you can skip all this part if you don't need it.
You can see the difference in the length.
Doesn't matter if it doesn't match,
nothing like that.
So, now I'm just gonna repeat on this other side.
Everybody loves Wednesday,
I thought the show was so cute.
Daxton liked it,
Paisley liked it.
Okay, next up,
you need to decide if you wanna leave any hairs out,
it's up to you.
Mine are kind of long
so if they naturally fall out, I might leave them out,
but otherwise I'm probably just gonna pull them up.
I'm gonna take the gel
and run it through.
I read somewhere that they did this exact thing in her hair
for real when she was on set,
because they didn't want fly aways
and stuff happening from the braids.
So, great tip, a little trick here for ya.
Okay, and when you are done gelling,
kind of just brush everything,
you want it nice and smooth.
She wears her braids pretty tight to her head like this,
there's not a lot of looseness to the braids.
And I have layered hair.
The thing with this gel
is it helps hold all those layers in,
which is really nice
so that I'm not having,
as I say that a layer pops.
L-O-L.
So, if that happens,
put more gel.
Get to the end,
secure with elastic,
and repeat on the other side.
Okay, so to finish this look off,
we're gonna add the bangs.
So literally, I just kinda push my hair out of the way,
bring this up,
and clip it in.
Okay, so here's look one,
which is the braids.
If you want these side pieces to match better
'cause they obviously don't match exactly,
this is where I take this root touch-up
and just pull it onto the,
and use it to darken my hair up.
Okay, for look two,
we're gonna use the same hairstyle,
I'm gonna change the outfit
so we match more of the dress scene.
I'll be back.
Okay, quick change of outfit
to look more like the dress scene,
and for mood, I'm gonna change the lighting.
Make it a little more blue like it was in the dance scene.
Okay, so for this one,
we're gonna need bobby pins.
My bobby pin holder.
And pretty much just what you've already done.
So, all they did on this part,
or my best guess, obviously,
is they took her braids
and they looped them up.
And don't go too close,
don't do this,
don't do too close.
Hers were set back a little bit like this on her head.
Over like this,
bobby pin.
Same thing on this side,
take it up,
and around.
You can do it in front
or in back,
and bobby pin.
Obviously gotta tuck these in then.
And there you pretty much have Wednesday Addams
raven dance scene hair.
Can you see it?
I don't have her brown eyes,
but you get the idea.
I need to look more mad.
Here is the final look.
See it?
I'll do a little spin,
a fake spin,
'cause I'm not actually in my room with my hair,
but there you go.
Ta-da.
I hope you guys love it.
It's actually very easy to do,
I think that it's very doable for Halloween next year,
or for just fun
when you want to channel your inner Wednesday Addams.
