MINDY: Hey, everyone.
I'm Mindy, from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
And today I'm here with Ms. Bailey--
BAILEY: Hi, guys.
-She is going to be showing you guys how
to do a hairstyle that we're calling the CGH Faux Waterfall
Headband.
And it is a DIY.
-It is a DIY.
-You guys will love it, even for short hairstyles.
But before we move on to the hair,
we are so excited to announce our first Dallas Meetup.
Yay!
You guys have been asking forever.
The meetup is going to be located at the P.S.
from Aeropostale store at the Grapevine Mills Mall,
on February 28th-- which is this coming Saturday-- from 11
until 1.
We would love to see you guys, love
to say hi, give you big hugs.
Now for those of you that get to come into the store,
they're offering 20% off anything
you buy in the store, which is awesome.
-But for those of you who can't come to the meetup,
because you live too far away, they're
still offering a coupon code for online shopping.
And it will be in the description box
below, so be sure to check that out.
-Yes.
We'd love to see you guys.
Love, big hugs, big kisses, see you soon.
And Bailey will take over on the hairstyle.
-To start off, I curled my hair with a flat iron.
And then the very first thing I'm going to want to do,
is part a very, very deep part on either side of your head.
But I'm going to do it on the left side.
And basically it's going to be so deep,
it's going to be like in line with the end of my eyebrow.
So that's where I'm going to part my hair.
It's going to look a little funny at first.
OK.
So now that we've got our part down, to start the braid,
you're going to want to take a piece-- not too
big, but not too small-- you just
want it to be a perfect braid-- let's see if we can-- here
we go.
OK.
So once you have your piece, you're
going to want to begin braiding your hair just
as a normal braid.
We're not doing anything too fancy,
just a three-piece braid.
This hairstyle works for any type of hair.
I found out that it works really well
for like when you're growing out bands, or with your short hair.
Or if you just want the front pieces out of your face.
It works perfectly for any of those kinds of things.
And it also works for when your hair is up.
If you want to put it up in a ponytail, or down.
So it's a very, very simple and easy hairstyle
that goes with everything.
OK.
So once you've finished braiding your piece,
go ahead and take a rubber band, and rubber band it.
OK.
So as you can see on the braid, the outside bumps,
those are what we're going to be working with, with this braid.
So I'm going to go back to the very top,
and you can see the very first outside loop.
I'm going to go ahead and pull it out, stick
my fingers through, like this.
So now I have my fingers through.
I'm going to take a piece from the top, the front-- you don't
want it to be too big-- just a small piece from the front,
and pull it through the loop.
So there's our first stitch of the braid.
Now we're going to move on to the next outside bump.
I'm going to pull and stick my fingers through.
I'm going to take a small piece, pull it through the loop,
and there's our second stitch.
And now we're just going to continue this all the way down.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So as you can see, I've done a couple of the stitches.
But we're not actually going to go all the way down the braid.
We're just going to go down so it's even
with the part on the other side of the head.
So that's what I've done.
So now that the stitches are finished,
I'm going to go ahead and take the end of my braid
and pin it, kind of bury it underneath my hair.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
And you cover it up.
And now we'll take the stitches, and just pull them back.
Now the next step I'm going to show you is very important.
It will take the hairstyle from being good to like, great.
So as you can see, I've pulled all my hair, my strands back,
but sometimes they will lay funny.
Well, most of the time, actually.
So the way to fix this is to take a comb,
and you're going to want to take your strands like so,
and tease them.
So we're going to take our comb, take a strand,
and comb downwards.
Just tease them a little.
You can do more teasing or less teasing,
depending on how you like your hair.
As you can see, the teasing in the back
helps accent the waterfall effect.
For the last step, we're going to go ahead and pancake
those ridges in the back.
Just so you can see the braid from the front.
You don't have to do too much, just a little
is perfectly fine.
And there you have the CGH Faux Waterfall Braid.
Now I'm going to do the final spin, so here we are.
Here we go.
This hairstyle is literally super easy.
It took me like two minutes to do.
And it's just a basic braid.
Even dads can do it, like I mean my dad can do it,
which is huge.
So it's super easy.
And give this video a thumbs up if you've liked it.
Don't forget to leave a comment below
if you guys are coming to the Dallas meetup.
We're super excited to see ya'll.
So we really want to know if you guys are coming.
And I think that's all we have.
So I'll see you guys next week.
Bye.

-If you need to just get a little more curl in the front,
you could always turn your blow dryer back on really low,
and go ahead and just work some more right in the front.
And kind of take your hand and scrunch it--
-Yes.
It is so much harder to say than 'si' in Spanish,
don't you think?
-Si, yes.
-Like when I was taking Spanish classes,
I would always be like, si, si.
It's so much easier than yes.
-Yes does take a lot.
Yes.
-Yes.
-Si.
-Yes.
-Si.
