- Hey guys!
It's Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
Kamri's here with me today.
- Hi guys!
- And we are going to show you how
to do an Infinity Braid Tieback.
Now, you can see on her hair, I have it tied back,
but that is not the only way you can wear this hairstyle.
You could pull it up in a ponytail and wear it back
in the back, if you are a sporty girl going to soccer;
or even I have it on myself in a little side braid
that looks cute right here, that I did on myself.
So it's definitely one you can do
on someone else, or yourself.
Now, you can see that I started by parting her hair
right down the middle, and then I sectioned off
a rectangular shape, leaving about an inch and a half
above each ear, just for softness.
So, I'm going to take that section and divide it in half.
Try to do it pretty even.
And on this top section, I'm going to pull off
another small piece of hair, right here at the top.
Now I'm going to go over that section and through the middle
of the two of 'em, and here's one of the tricks;
I'm gonna teach ya a couple tricks.
One of the tricks is that, on this infinity braid,
you always want this back piece of hair coming up
and over like this, on both sections.
It just makes the braid pop a lot better.
So this needs to come up and wrap around
and then go back through the middle,
and back behind; and then up and over again.
So, you've essentially created the shape of a number eight
through the hair; you're just looping that same piece.
It's the same piece over and over;
we're not switching hair or anything.
And it's just going up and over, down through the middle,
like an eight, like this shape,
over and over and over around the hair.
So you're gonna try to keep it pretty tight.
You can see I'm going up and over again,
through the middle, around the back,
and back up and over.
Now, here's trick number two;
get my hands outta the way so you can see:
every time you go around, you wanna just give it
a little tug upward, like this, so that all
of those little bumps smush together and create
a really consistent-looking braid.
Also, on this bottom loop,
when you go up and over this one,
if you do it like this, can see how there's space right here
between those two hairs?
That looks more like a normal braid,
and that's what we don't want.
So what you wanna do to prevent that is,
when you pull that hair down, then go back up
and see how I'm pushing that hair really tight,
up into that braid again?
And then loop it again.
So now you can see that I've just closed the gap completely
between those hairs.
And that's what you're going to wanna do over
and over and over again.
It's really fast; when you get going,
you won't have any trouble at all.
It will happen really quickly.
You can see that I'm just up and over,
around the back, create the eight;
up and over, around the back, create the eight.
Now, what I can see happening here on her hair is
that this piece is getting thinner as we work it down,
and we get to the ends.
So when this starts happening, about this point,
I'm going to just take another little small section
off one of the sides, and I'm gonna just add that
into it, so that we create a little more thickness again,
and we give it a little more length.
'Cause we don't want that hair to end at some point;
we want it to keep looking like it's just magically
going on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

And when you've gotten all of the length you need
to pull it back, then you're going to just take it back
and make a nice shape;
take the opposite braid,
and I'm going to just secure them together
right in the back of her head.
And you can push it down; the nice thing
about these is they can shape; they're so thick and tough
at this point.
They shape nicely, which you can play around
with a little bit.
Twist until you like 'em hang flat,
and undo any excess braid.
And you're done.
