- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
Today I'm here by myself because
I'm going to show you a DIY
I am calling the three-strand pull through.
I've seen this going around, I've been wanting
to do it for a long time, it's so simple
mind blown, you're gonna love it.
It's that easy, so I'm gonna do it
completely blind, no mirrors with me,
just my feel and lets get to it.
Okay you guys so to start the three-strand pull through
what you're going to do is take a top section,
you can see I parted my hair here and here
and just secured them with an elastic.
And then I kind of loosened it in the front.
You definitely don't want it to sit
like super slicked back on your head,
you want the nice little pompadour.
So there you go, and I'm just using
these little elastics.
You can hair wrap every elastic as you go,
for me, it just matches my hair,
so I don't worry about it.
So once you get your pompadour set,
the next step is to take the hair
that's in that elastic and pull it forward
and clip it out of the way, just like this.
Or in the way depending on how
you're looking at this, right?
Then you're going to pick up the next section of hair.
So for me, I'm just moving down like an inch
and slicing again and I'm just using
my fingers to kind of finger comb it.
I don't want it to be too like slicked back.
If you were using this for a dance hairstyle,
like your little girl's dance class,
or you know dance competition,
you would probably want to this wet
and use gel and then slick it
cause you want it to really stay put,
but for me, I'm looking a little softer look.
So I have the section and I'm just going to go
and secure it with an elastic right here.
Like this, now release this top hair.
So you essentially have two sections,
they are sitting on top of each other.
Take this top one and this is where
the three strands comes in cause
you're going to divide it into three pieces.
As even as possible.
So you can see I have, one, two, three.
Now I'm gonna take this bottom section
and divide it in half.
Again just evenly.
And I want this middle strand
running right through the middle of those two pieces.
So you can see, I dropped the three, right here,
picked up the two and I'm going to clip
those out of the way.
And I literally have no mirror at all,
so I'm just doing this by feel
which means it's totally doable.
Okay next, pick up your next hair section.
So again, I'm going back up here,
pick up the section of hair,
same thing, comb it with my fingers,
or use a comb, I don't want it too tight.
So just soft comb it.
Take an elastic, and put together.
As you can see, I combined all three
of those pieces into that elastic.
Now we're gonna let this top section go,
so we're right back to where we were
one step ago essentially.
Okay, now we're going to take this top piece
and this time, you can see it's kind still
kind of segmented into two, but we're
basically gonna recombined it and create three.
Again, just try to make them as even as possible.
Go to the under piece, divide it in half,
make sure that one is going right through
the middle of them, and clip it out of the way.
And then we're gonna pick up the next section.
And repeat the same steps.
So then you're gonna unclip the hair at the top,
again you have it segmented into two
and you're just gonna recombine it
to basically create three.
Take the piece underneath, divide it in half,
this one through the middle, clip it out of the way.
And we're going to combine that
all together with our last section.
Okay so then we drop the hair,
and do the same thing again.
Okay now this is where you have a couple choices
you can keep repeating this pattern,
until you run out of hair,
and if you have really super long
or super thick hair, you're going to get
a whole bunch of them going down,
which is going to look awesome.
If you're like me and you have shorter hair,
that's thinner at the ends because I start having layers,
see like how I start having layers popping out,
then you might not want to take it all the way down,
or you can it down as far as you can and just secure it.
The next option is to take a scrunchie and put it in.
But before we do that, we have to go back
and create the magic of the hairstyle.
Before we go any further I'm going to take
a little texturizing powder and
I'm just going to put it through the braid,
tap it onto the braid, and what that does
is just help as I pull and I pancake the braid,
it just gives it a little texture
and a little more grip.
And then go back, and you start
pulling each section out.
Just gently, and this is where
the real magic starts happening.
So as you pull all of these sides,
you start getting that 3D affect,
that really makes the braid stand out
and look different than other braids.
And it actually, to me when I get done with it,
it looks like I have like two braids
kind of side by side, but you really don't
which is super cool.
Okay when you get done pancaking it all,
then I'm just gonna take a cute scrunchie
from my hair this particular time and put it in.
Make sure I get it positioned where I want it,
and there you go.
Okay guys, here's the completed look,
you can see that my baby hairs on the sides
by my ears were already falling down,
so I just went ahead and pulled them out,
but you of course can always slick them back,
and hairspray them if you want to.
So lets do the final spin.
Looks good, right?
Please are always asking me, like when I wear
this one, how do you do that?
Cause it looks like you're using
like six strands, and it looks super complicated
and people can't understand how you're doing it,
but it's easy so you guys are gonna love it.
