- Hi, I'm Bonnie Argo and I'm a Disney super fan
and professional hair stylist.
And today I'm gonna show you how to do
a very elegant braid inspired by Rapunzel
with the help of Alyssa. (gasps)
Are you excited?
- Uh-huh (affirmative).
- Me too.
It's gonna be so fun.
So first, I'm gonna section off her hair.
Do you love Rapunzel?
- [Alyssa] Uh-huh (affirmative).
- I do too.
What do you love about her?
- [Alyssa] I love that she has long hair.
- She has really, really long hair.
It's so pretty though.
Okay, so what I'm doing is sectioning
into three different parts.
Now that I have my three sections,
I'm gonna begin in this back section
doing my first fishtail braid of the three.
And what I'm gonna do is take that section
and split it into two sections.
Super easy you can do it with a comb or with your finger.
And then I'm going to take a piece from the right section
on the side and move it over onto my left section,
and I'm gonna perform the same thing on the left side.
Get a little piece, move it over to the right section,
and continue to do that motion all the way down the hair.
And that is how we create our fishtail braid.
I'm so excited for you to see your fishtail braid.
- [Alyssa] I am too!
- [Bonnie] Did you know that Rapunzel
has the longest hair out of any Disney princess?
- [Alyssa] What?
- [Bonnie] Yes, isn't that crazy?
- [Alyssa] It is.
- Okay, so now that I've done this first fishtail
in the middle, now we're gonna do this section,
which is on her right side.
What is your favorite part about Rapunzel's Adventure?
- I can't really say a specific one
'cause I like all of the parts.
- [Bonnie] All of the parts?
- Mm-hmm (affirmative).
- Again, I'm doing the exact same thing all the way down.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so now that I have done the section
to the right of her ear and this middle section,
I'm gonna move on to the left side
and do the left side fishtail.
(energetic music)
Okay, I'm finished with this one so I'm just gonna secure
that with a little elastic.
One little tip is that you can spread
the fishtail braid apart to make it a little looser
and more texturized and it doesn't have to be perfect,
something that just gives texture,
and the same with this one right here.
After I do that, I'm gonna take the three braids
and just do a classic braid with all three of them.
So I'm gonna braid them together.
(upbeat music)
And if your pieces on both of these sides
are a little short.
You can always go in with a little elastic where those end
and just make sure that you secure them.
And then those little pieces that you just secured
onto the ponytail,
you can always tuck those behind that bigger one.
And then use a few bobby pins to hide that.
(upbeat music)
Okay, now that we have the braid all braided together,
I'm just gonna pin some of these in
to make sure everything's secure.
And I'm not really opening the bobby pin,
I'm just kind of weaving in
and making sure that it's in place.
Okay, now for the fun part.
To make the braid even more elegant,
we're gonna add some flowers. (gasps)
Do you like flowers?
- [Alyssa] I love flowers.
- I like flowers too.
You can get fresh flowers or plastic flowers.
And I'm just gonna take the stem,
and just slightly weave in the flowers
and it's awesome 'cause the stem helps to stick in
there really well.
Right here, where I've tied it with the elastic,
I could even use that to stick in another flower.
And you can do as many as you want.
I think the more the merrier.
(Alyssa giggles)
And then I have a few tiny ones that I'm gonna use
to decorate even more.
I'm just gonna stick a few of these in.
And that concludes our Rapunzel braid.
Okay, are you ready to see your hair?
- Yes!
- Let's look.
Whoa! - I love it.
- You likes it? - It's so pretty.
- It's so pretty.
- I like the big one and the little one.
- Me too, all the flowers, it's so pretty.
I think I might have one more thing
that will complete the look. (gasps)
Wow!
- It's beautiful!
- Let's try it on!
Oh my goodness, look how pretty you look!
What do you think?
- I love it.
- Me too!
Bye, thanks for watching. - Bye.
Thanks for watching.
