Heike's Open Braids (Braiding my own Hair)

[TheGorgess1]

yeah...and how many packs did you use?

[MagicStyleAtelier]

@TheGorgess1

I used about 3 packs

[TheGorgess1]

omg am abt to braid my hair myself but i've never done it dis way. did u braid everything completely? both u and ur hair r gorgeous!

[EmpressAnastasiaTM]

how many packs of hair do you use for this???

[Jasinna]

Thank you for the video ! How many hours did it needed to get the braids in please ?

[MagicStyleAtelier]

@Jasinna

When I do it all by myself it takes a week...but I take my time. I just open a small section and rebraid it every day. I am too busy to do it completely in one marathon session.

[MagicStyleAtelier]

@Jasinna

Oh thank you so much for the nice compliment! Well, the trick is to do the braids in sections. When it is time to get them redone, I open a braid and then rebraid it right away. Then I move on to the next one. If I get fed up I stop and continue the next day. That way you don't have to kill yourself to get it all done in one day and you do not run around with only half a head braided either ;). Works great for me.

Awesome it don't even look like braids it look like curly hair. I know your glad your finished it seemed like it took a couple of days or so to finish fabulous outcome!

[MagicStyleAtelier]

@AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ

Thank you! Yes, I camouflage the braids by leaven a strand of hair out of the braid close to the scalp. My own hair is pretty long and if I would not do that, you would only see braids ;).

[TheScarletleilani]

I would do so much to have your hair!!!!! AAAAAH im jealous haha, but really it's stunning <3 much love sis and thanks for the awesome vid

[MagicStyleAtelier]

@TheScarletleilani

[TheScarletleilani]

[Tammiles]

I am so confused about this video...literally.

[MagicStyleAtelier]

What exactly is confusing you? Maybe I can help you out?

[ladypsycoholic]

Weil Dein Haar immer länger wird =)

Macht mich auch ganz confused => t oll!!!

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Ach so...ja, die hatte ich zuerst hochgebunden zur "Palme". Auch im wahren Leben denken dann viele ich hätte sie abgeschnitten...echt lustig :)

[casagrandecats]

please show us how to do it.

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Actually I made a video showing how I braid my hair. But it was too long for YouTube. They would not let me post it. So I posted it on myspace. Look there for Magic Style.

[kljamison]

did the hair come like that

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Yes, the hair comes in that texture. Google for ebonyline, the hair is Miss Willow/Elements "French Bulk"

[myemosong]

nice shirt im going to the keys in july and the hair is pretty

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Hey, thanks! You have good eyes. You are right, I bought the shirt in the Keys. Have fun on your vacation! :)

[hellokiko69]

i wiant my hair like this but i doubt anyone can make it full and long. how many inches is this? i know u did it yourself but how much would you say it will cost for a client?

[MagicStyleAtelier]

This is heatable synthetic hair from the Ebonyline online store (just google for them). It is called Miss Willow/Elements and is 20 inch long fully folded. We ask between Euro 300 - 350 for this style (the hair is included in the price) depending on how small you want the braids to be.

[hellokiko69]

thnk you so much:) my boyfriend travels alot and i am definitely going to get my hair done at your salon:)

[MagicStyleAtelier]

We would feel honored to do your hair :)

[hellokiko69]

Klar tun einem dann ziemlich die Arme weh,aber das Resultat zählt....Tja dann habe ich erst mal wieder 2. -3. Monate ruhe mit dem Haare machen.....Meine open Braids beeindrucken fast jeden,ich habe jedenfalls nichts Negatives zurück bekommen.....Ausser auffällige und "neidische Blicke"....Benutze auch unterschiedliche Farben,was das ganze noch interesanter macht! also an alle...

Viel Gedult , Kraft und Motivation.

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Hört sich super an, Sturzflug72! :)

Du hast recht, das Resultat läßt einem die ganze Abstrengung schnell vergessen. Vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar. Habe Dir auch einen hinterlassen :)

[Sturzflug72]

Hallo!!!

Auch ich mache mir die Haare selbst...es graut mich jedesmal,wenn die Zeit kommt

die alten Haare zu öffnen,kämmen,waschen...ich brauche ca.2 Tage für die gesammte Prozedur,Rasta ca. 15 cm.und dann lasse ich erst mal die Haare offen,nehme

Rsatazopfgummis,wenn ich dann nach ca.12 Stunden den ganzen Kopf mit Halben Rastas habe,wickel ich jede einzelne Strähne auf Lockenwickler und tauche alles in ziemlich heißes Wasser ,Öffnen, etwas schneiden- fertig....

[juiicysushii]

wow you braided that yourself?! jesus! i do not have the patience or skill to commit to that! good work! lol, i braided my hair last night, to keep it out of the way, and it looks like helen keller did it :(

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Hello juicyshushi,

Your comment really made me laugh otu loud :). It took me years of practice to be able to do this and in a reasonable time. It still takes me almost two weeks, because I can only work on my hair in the evenings. I planned to post a video showing how I actually do it, but it fell prey to YouTubes 10 minute limit. I will try to make a shorter one that still makes sense and post it here.

[angelitka30]

...love roxette!..

ou are very pretty and your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

hope soon i'll have some alike;)

[MagicStyleAtelier]

thank you Angelitka30! You are very sweet :)

I hope it will all work out with your hair, that would be so great. Maybe we will see a video from you then.

[grrromit]

One of your best videos, Heike! It is really great to see you in person in this one. You must workout regularly because you look fantastic!! Super!

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Hallo Samy,

Vielen Dank für Deinen superlieben Kommentar! Ich werde mich bemühen mehr Videos zu produzieren :)

[sunsamy]

Hallo Heike, wenn ich Dich so seh mit Deiner Haarpracht denk ich immer sofort an Hawaii. Beautiful Hawaiian Girl !!! Ich finde Deine Open Braids wunderschön. Auch, dass Du sie selber geflochten hast finde ich so genial. Ich freue mich schon auf weitere Videos! Dein treuer Fan Samy

[VillanovaPirate]

Love this video. The room is so bright and colorful. And she looks great! She must spend a lot of time tending to her hair, not to mention her body. Did you notice the buff arms and shoulders?

[MagicStyleAtelier]

Thx, VillanovaPirate! You might not have noticed my tank saying: Silly boy - girls can be pirates, too! So of course I have to stay in shape for that ;)
