- Welcome back to Cute Girls Hairstyles.
I'm Brooklyn from Brooklyn and Bailey if you don't know me
which, I think most of you probably do.
Anyway, I am wearing this hairstyle.
A lot of you have been asking me about it in my pictures,
in my Instagram, my YouTube videos.
It's called the rope twist braids.
It's kind of like french braids, but not.
Anyway, I'm gonna be showing you how to do that today
and I'm also gonna be using Hairitage product
which is my mom's hair brand
so you guys should go check it out in Walmart
'cause it's incredible.
Anyway, let's get started on the hairstyle.
So, to start the hairstyle, I have parted my hair
straight down the middle.
It doesn't have to be a perfect part.
I don't really like it when it's a perfect part.
I think that looks too perfect.
But if you want a perfect part, works as well.
So I just parted it down the middle
and then I'm also gonna part it down the middle in the back.
I just use my finger to do a little rough middle part
but a lot of people use combs.
My mom likes to use combs.
So you can just do whatever you need to
to make that middle part.
And then I'm pulling half of it up into a ponytail
to hold that hair out of the way while I work on a style
on this side.
So we have half of my hair here.
I've kinda brushed through it so it's nice and
not tangly so I can work with it.
The first thing I'm gonna do is take a little chunk
right here in the front,
just a little tiny piece,
and I'm gonna split it into two.
So you can see I have two pieces here
that are about even in weight
and how much hair in each piece.
And then I'm gonna take the piece
that's closest to my forehead
and I'm gonna put it over the other piece.
So I'm gonna basically twist them.
So now I have this bottom piece here
and this top pice here that are twisted over each other.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pick up a little bit of hair
right here in the front and I'm gonna add it
to this bottom piece
and then I'm gonna pull it over the other piece.
So what I'm basically doing is
a French twist, but I'm only adding hair to one side.
So again, I picked up hair, added it to that bottom piece
and I'm gonna twist it over.
And you just keep doing that all the way down.
Make sure that when you're adding pieces,
you're combing it out
so that you don't get little bumps in the twists
or in the hair that you're pulling in.
So you can see I'm kinda getting
more towards the bottom of the twist
and I'm just gonna keep adding hair all the way back.
So, it's gonna kinda go down and back here.
You wanna collect all that hair and put it into the twist.
So you just keep going
until you're out of hair to add.
(upbeat music)
So when you get to the end, you're gonna pull in
this last piece of hair
and I always make it really tight
so it's not really loose down there
and then we come to
the trickiest part of this whole thing.
So we have these two chunks of hair
that we've added a bunch of hair into
and so the trick is to get them to twist together
while also just staying twisted,
'cause usually they would just untwist
if you don't do it the right way.
So the trick is to take this outside piece
and twist it in.
So twist it towards your body, like this
and then you wanna take this other piece
and you wanna twist it out
and then you twist them together.
So you twist each individual piece first
and then you twist them together.
So again, take this one, twist it in.
This one, twist it out.
Then we twist together.
So in, out, together.
And then in, out, together.
And I have layers at the bottom
so you might see a few of those start popping out.
That's totally normal.
I don't mind 'cause I like my hairstyles messier.
If you don't, of course you could just pin them in
or hairspray them in.
Twist, twist together.
Probably do one more.
Twist, twist, together.
And then I take these small rubber bands.
Rubber band it at the bottom like so.
It untwists just a tiny bit so it loosens just a tiny bit.
What I do is I then go back
and I kinda fluff these pieces
so that they look more,
if you know what a pancake braid is,
they look more pancaked or a little bit fuller.
I have a little piece in here
that's gonna be kind of annoying.
I'm gonna just tuck him in,
pull this out to frame my fact a little bit better up here.
And I pull it out around my ear as well
because I like the fuller, messier look.
You can keep it tight if you want to.
You can pull it looser than I do.
It's up to everyone to do their own thing.
And then the next thing I do
is I take a small piece around my ear
and I just let it be loose
so it feels a little messier.
And then we do the same thing on the other side.
Okay again, we just take a little section in the front
and split it in two, equal parts.
We take this front piece closer to my forehead
and we twist it over.
We have these two pieces that are twisted.
Then again, this bottom piece, we're gonna add hair.
Comb it through and then twist it over
and we just repeat that step all the way down the hair.
(upbeat music)
And again, we're back to that bottom section
where it can get kind of tough.
So we have the two sections.
We're gonna twist this one in
and this one out and then we twist together.
We twist this one in, this one out, twist together.
In, out, together.
(upbeat music)
And you can go through and fluff what you want
to make it look the way you want it.
So, I always fluff a little bit at the top
just 'cause I think it frames my face better
'cause you can see the difference between it being tight
versus it being looser.
Up to you whether or not you like it.
If you're doing dance or exercise,
tight might be better.
If you're going for more boho look,
loose might be better.
So you can just pull at those pieces that you've added in
and kind of loosen them around the face.
(upbeat music)
And then I always pull a little section from my ear
to give myself a little whispy,
and finished the hairstyle.
So I rubber band both of 'em
and I've kinda fluffed both of 'em
and then the last thing that I usually do is
I take hairspray.
My mom has her Hairitage hairspray,
the Wiggle Room Flexible Hold Hairspray
which I just use, spray all over
and kind of brush down any of the flyaways
to hold the whole style in place.
So I'm gonna do that now.
(upbeat music)
And we're done.
Okay, this is the final spin.
