How "I" do my braid pattern for a sew-in weave (Requested)

[lajaech]

:) thanks

[Theoutcomer10]

Do you go through the weft or just under the weft and through the braid?

[GlamAddiction101]

@Theoutcomer10 I go around the weft and behind the braid. I also do a triple stitch at the very beginning and at the end of every track by sewing around the ends at least 3 times to insure the ends are secure.

[MrsMurphy35]

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorial because I will be buying a mannequin to practice since I can't braid very well...blessings be upon you..

[GlamAddiction101]

@MrsMurphy35 your very welcome!

[brownie32083]

[Rose2gard]

[CARAM3L0522]

[9katmoore]

This helped me a ton, today I tried this and for my first time it worked, it's gonna take practice but none the less yr video helped!!

[GlamAddiction101]

@9katmoore im glad I could help. it will take practice but you will be fine girl!

[Shaporsha95]

Where did you get that maniquin ? how much did it cost?

[GlamAddiction101]

I got it in cosmetology school but you can get one at Sally's but you can find it cheaper online. Just Google "cosmetology mannequin head". There's different complexions, hair lengths, hair textures, and colors to choose from. Get the adjustable stand too! @shaporsha95

[lajaech]

@GlamAddiction101 thanks ur video was awsome matter of fact it could been longer i wanted to c the the side i en joyed every thing it was up close and so easy to understands great job n thanks again

[witterbrebaby1]

I have a question! if your hair is short, do you add weave to your hair when you braid it to make it thicker?

[GlamAddiction101]

It would definitely be a good idea to add synthetic hair to your braids. But a small amount. You don't want your braids to be too bulky or put extra strain on your hair @witterbrebaby1

[dabaddest0707]

Thank you so much!!! I never sewed my weft under the braid...I love this technique!!! Again thank you sure sharing

[MsLovelyVNess]

This is the first time I've seen anyone take the time to slow down and actually show me how to braid step by step. I've been trying to learn how to do designs so I can put braid in cornrow extensions instead of straight back. What do u do with the two braids in the back? U mix it with all the hair? That manequin looks so miserable, lol.

[GlamAddiction101]

@MsLovelyVNess glad I coud help. Yes u just mix the braids in as you go around. And yes destiny does look miserable lol.

[redbone1180]

okay....thanks.

[redbone1180]

Hi great video,love that you were so detailed.But for someone like me that wants to sew in their own hair and can not do this braid pattern,can u do a vid to show how to sew in with corn row braids.Thanks.

[GlamAddiction101]

i will be doing one soon @redbone1180

[ANGELdaBEAUTY]

[GlamAddiction101]

Yeah I was in the one on 34th St last year. @ANGELdaBEAUTY

[MzK3ya87]

[brightizes52]

Thank you, best sew in details I've seen on YouTube yet. Now I have options for ponytails, straight-flow or curls. Keep up the good work!

[iSamantha94]

you should do a sew in video too <3

[GlamAddiction101]

i know I need to get my sh*t together lol. I will try to get that filmed very soon. @iSamantha94

[TayeshaG]

Do you sew the weave in the same way for all the braids like in your vid or no?

[GlamAddiction101]

it depend on the shape of the persons head and what style they want. @TayeshaG

[Pr1nc3ss305]

O.M.G. This is GENIUS! I had to sub after watching this vid :)

[AlwayzFirst]

Very informative!!! Thanks :)

[Iloveme20121]

Hey I was wondering do you have a video on You Tube about how you do your sew ins?

[GlamAddiction101]

i will be doing some soon. @Iloveme20121

[Jakayla92]

[GlamAddiction101]

I am definitely going to get some more filmed for y'all soon. @Jakayla92

[SupaStar941]

Wea u gt dat doll head i need one

[GlamAddiction101]

@SupaStar941 I got it in cosmetology school but you can get one at Sally's but you can find it cheaper online.  Just Google "cosmetology mannequin head". There's different complexions, hair lengths, hair textures, and colors to choose from. Get the clamp too!

[Babyphat7094]

You are the bomb.com ;()

[GlamAddiction101]

thanks momma! @Babyphat7094

[SatoriTheSassy1]

i seen at the end the "doll" had hair left out to cover the braids when put in a pony tail...should i start with hair already out and then start the braid pattern?? thanx in advance

[GlamAddiction101]

Yes. Part out a good amount of hair to cover the tracks then put it in a scrunchie to keep it out of the way while you do your braid pattern. @SatoriTheSassy1

[hairvirgin]

Great video!!! when your doing your self install do you use this pattern?

[GlamAddiction101]

it depends on the style I'm trying to achieve @hairvirgin

[elvsrae]

This is a great tutorial...I definitely like the braid tucking thing...I wish I could braid from the back up but its just not happening...can you give some tips on how to place your hands for that??? This is the bomb.com :-) subbed

[StylesPcp]

@ Elmore3141 you couldn't possibly do your hair like a negro because honkey hair is so thin, that if I yanked one strand with my pinky five will fall out

[makharamen]

this is the best detailed vid I've seen. Thanks...

[Elmore3141]

I be wantin my hair to be like a negro. Know what I'm saying'?  How be I do dat?

[shellyontime]

Great tutorial! Why did you sew the track underneath the braid? And are u sewing thru the weft or around the weft. Thanks in advance

[GlamAddiction101]

@shellyontime I sewed under the braid so that once u pull your hair up you won't see the braid, you'll just see hair. I sew around the track especially if it quality hair because sewing through the track can cause shedding and its harder to manipulate the hair when u want to pull it up in a ponytail. It is a bit resistant where if u sew around it you have bit more leeway. Try not to sew the hair on too tight either. That will break your real hair and the extensions.

[GlamAddiction101]

What two braids at the bottom?. When your finished, you should only have 1 braid sticking out in the middle of the circle that u finished braiding at. @brittentyspaers

[cakecatering]

How do u braid the top if u dont want leave out?

[GlamAddiction101]

@cakecatering you would just braid it in a full circle making sure not to make the braids too big

[KaryssaC]

Thanks for taking the time to do this! It was very needed!

[GlamAddiction101]

Your very welcome @KaryssaC

[GlamAddiction101]

@kkimberly2004 YOU ARE VERY WELCOME. WILL BE DOING A "SELF BRAIDING PATTERN" SOON FOR THE LADIES THAT WEAVE THEIR OWN HAIR BUT FIND THIS TECHNIQUE DIFFICULT TO DO ON THEMSELVES. IF YOU TRY THIS TECHNIQUE, LET ME KNOW HOW IT TURNED OUT.

[divavycke]

Glam i got some much love for you..lol... I got the same destiny doll in my kit but I relaxed half her head.

[GlamAddiction101]

@divavycke HEY HONEY!!!!!!!!!!!WHERE U BEEN MAN! I RELAXED HALF OF THAT HEFFA HEAD BUT THAT MESS IS STILL UNRULY AS EVER! LMAO. HOLLA AT ME!

[TheMatthewJerome]

Your mannequin's eyes.. Lol!

[GlamAddiction101]

@TheMatthewJerome  weird as hell right? Lol. Leave her alone!

[NeCeeLuV]

I wanted to to do a partial sew in where i could switch up my part. for ex: (one day I could wear a middle part, the next a side part) I wanted to use your pattern but what should i change up to be able to get the type of versatile sew in look I wanted to achieve ?

[GlamAddiction101]

@NeCeeLuV you would just make your leaveout bigger in the front. Make it wider and further back so instead of having a small portion covering the tracks you will have a lot more hair to work with. It should be parted wide from the middle of your left eyebrow to the middle of your left eyebrow. That's usually a good amount to ensure you can have versatility with your part.

[KOEKOEWITHASMILE]

thank your this was helpful great job

[GlamAddiction101]

@KOEKOEWITHASMILE  your very welcome. Glad I could help.

[517dmomma]

i like it because u used the doll head,we can everything very detailed! thanks mama!

[GlamAddiction101]

@517dmomma I would have done the tutorial on one of my clients but people are not very willing to be on camera without their hair done.

[Nee717]

Great vid but that is a crazy looking head

[GlamAddiction101]

@Nee717 don't be hatin on Destiny! Lol nah but she is crazy looking and her ras so dry and nappy that it was burning my fingers up as I was braiding. Smdh. I got her with my kit when I was in beauty school.
