[babylana70]

LOVELY

[flowers4hunters]

love love love it chescaleigh! I'm going to do this style right now I would love to post a video response but I'm really shy but we'll see!

[sistalokt]

Thank you, chescaleigh, for sharing yet another elegant style! Unfortunately for me, I have to limit my updos because I started getting headaches and neck pain. I soon realized that piling my hair on the crown of my head was causing the problem. Previously I liked to wear my hair up every day while teaching, but now I can only do it for special occasions, for no more than 2 or 3 hours. But next time my husband takes me out to dinner, I'm going to try this one!

[floridagirl1100]

cute

[hollyhollyrose]

Gosh! I have been so missing your videos... That's really cute!

[nubeginnings08]

Wow!! This is really cute! I cant wait till my locs are at least this length.

[BlackNing123xyz]

That style is really nice i have a similar one i have worn in the past.

[adihsar]

Yoooooooooo have you heard of this chick BronzeGoddess01 Chesca? Ahhhh I just discovered her and I'm sooooo excited. She has this roll technique thingy she does that dope. Check her out. Oh and uh POST THE SIDE SWOOP LOOK tute!

[dabxsk8r]

I love it! Now that my locs are at the point where I can style them, I'm going to try different ways to style them :) Thanks again for all of your tutorials. I never knew that all the beautiful styles were so easy to do LOL

[chescaleigh]

do it up girlfriend! glad i could to inspire!

[CelticCarteldotcom]

I love your hair. It really suits you and it looks great.

[chescaleigh]

thank you!

[libralove83]

hey Chesca, what's the name of the song in the background, and the artist??

[chescaleigh]

it's a royalty free song from incompetech (dot) com called backed vibes. the songs are all written and performed by kevin macleod. just go to the royalty free section of the site and you can d/l it for free there :)

[libralove83]

Thanx! I need some cool music for my website that I'm re-doing....

P.S. you're awesome!

[chescaleigh]

thanks! and you're most welcome! glad i could help!

[Platurner]

I love your videos. You have a positive spirit. Keep them coming.

[chescaleigh]

thank you!

[MsJenchilla]

great vid

5 stars

[rosnicu]

I like the style and I like bangs too. I would wear the bang in a braid out instead of a french braid. Your french braid looks more like a cornrow, Thank you for posing the video.

[BlueBajan]

random thought...have you ever counted your locs? If so, how many do you have?

[chescaleigh]

yup! i have 114

[Coosheel]

Very cute, simple, and quick style. I will be rocking this one when I get more length.

[chescaleigh]

the braid in the front is a french braid

[chescaleigh]

"A French braid starts with small sections of hair at the crown of a person's head, and intermittently, more hair is added to each section as the braid progresses down the head"

[MissSylvz]

really ? that looks like a corn row to me a french braid is braided inward not outward like a cornrow

[chescaleigh]

i was always of the mind set that you can do a french braid inward or outward. i just like how it looked outwards. but i guess it could be considered a cornrow as well

[SugarH93]

beautiful

[miel001]

I friggin love it!!!! I'm trying this tonight.

I love these hair how tos that you do. and the music, Lawdy. So cool.

[chescaleigh]

thank you

[cncrtrse]

girl u look so gorgeous without ur hair in ur face. i been watchin ya vids since the hair how to's u did with the perm rods and braid outs & i know how u say ur self conscious bout not having bangs. u should rock it out more up away from ur face :)

[chescaleigh]

aw thank you! i actually had new headshots taken today and i did a bunch with my hair up and they look really nice. it was a pleasant surprise. i'm making a video about it soon :) thanks again

[loxgurl]

how weird. i just did this the other day, was just tryin something diff. lol. weird, cute tho

[chescaleigh]

[JRenneaC]

[vivacious1083]

[dararepearl83]

Very nice Fran. Quite elegant.

[blackeee1]

[Reicya]

I am so glad you came back with another loc tut! This looks really easy & cute!

Thx for sharing!!!

Shalom & Blessings!

[BLUYEiii]

when my hair gets longer im going to try that...really cute!

[HoneyFluffs]

i love the looped bang!! I cant wait for my locks to get long enough!

[2008lovers12008]

Thank you again Chescaleigh, you've inspired me again! This style looks very classy and yet so easy to do. I do have one request - please please please don't take out your locks. 3 other people who do loc tutorials that I was following have taken out their locks! My locks are practically the same length as yours, and you've really helped me with the styles that you've shown. Please keep them coming.

[hydvn6]

omg do u follow tears2daysmile2morro? and supremedejhan?

[dolliepeppy12]

oooo girl i see that cartilage piercing! Its so cute! nice style...only if i had come up with it myself (sigh) lol

[sfb001]

Love the style, I might try this on my mom for the coming holiday season. She doesnt have dreads, but still...its a cute style. Braiding is not my forte...but hey...this is what youtube is for. Love the vid.

btw...your baby hair is killer. Love it.

[chescaleigh]

oooh this is perfect for a holiday style

[PrettyniceB]

great vid for the strange music... I just had to watch it until i could figure it out. Hypmotizing

oh, nice hair doo too

[chescaleigh]

oh i love this music. i think it's so chill

[kindsomali]

that's good

[PureSLspeaks]

im soooo doing this style for my next show

[Tisha701]

Have you ever used hairnets (just on the bun part) to keep it from coming loose throughout the day?

[chescaleigh]

i have in the past (when i've done the suzanne bun) but aside from that i don't really need a hairnet. it doesn't come loose

[weirdrach2004]

I'm going to try it on my hair. I don't have dreads and it's not super thick but I think it would still look good! :D Thanks for this

[chescaleigh]

go for it!

[spicysteph]

how do you feel about white girls with dreads

[chescaleigh]

it's a hairstyle and everyone's welcome to enjoy it.

[spicysteph]

awesome. there are a lot of african americans who feel differently about it in my area.

[chescaleigh]

that's sad. it's a freakin hairstyle. next time someone says something to you tell them that black people with weaves and relaxers offend you

[spicysteph]

haha thanks, you're really cool. i hate to think i'm offending people.

[chescaleigh]

thanks :) you can't live your life worrying who you're going to piss off. if someone's offended by your hair it's their problem and not yours. do you and be happy

[juando15]

Nice!

[twiikimchi]

This do is awesome! :D I love the way it looks on your hair! Nice job. 5 stars.

[monilovelocs]

There's a few things I wanted to point out and ask: 1st off cute hairstyle! your the main 1 that has inspire me with hairstyle tips and I wanna thank you for that! 2, I thought that was funny how you notice you missed a loc and was gonna try to just wrap it around a braid but you was like " naw forget it i'll just do it over" lol! 3, what kind of camera do you have? your vids seem very focused,crisp and clear. I'm need of a new 1 for my vids!!! 1 luv

[chescaleigh]

glad to inspire! thank you!

haa! i'm glad you noticed that. i left it in cause i thought it was really funny. i use a few different cameras for my videos, but this one was filmed with the canon FS100. honestly, it's not my favorite. i have a mac, and the camera films in this weird format that mac doesn't recognize so i have to import the video through this program and it's a huge pain. i honestly need a new camera as well

[kingfish12]

that is really cute i love it!

[msgatlin357]

love it very simple

[paperorpaper]

Cute!

*Unfortunately I won't be able to try this for about 3 years lol.

[AlexDisaster17]

do u ever use hair spray??????? i just whant to know

[chescaleigh]

nope. there's really no need

[monilovelocs]

hairspray will build up in the locs and it will be hard to get out. Use only waterbase products on your hair

[chescaleigh]

thanks for the feedback

[adihsar]

THIS is NOT the side swoop style from the other vid. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! lol Get on it :o)

[chescaleigh]

haaa! i know i know. i had already filmed this and needed to put it up. it's next i promise

[applesandmustard]

i wanna try it!

i doubt i'd ever wear my hair like that but if i do try it i'll post a pic on tumblr

i know you're excited

[chescaleigh]

yaay! do it!

i'm totally excited

[KissOfLyfe]

This is gorgeous! Can't wait to try it! =)

[zayloc23]

[sultry1231]

Very cute!

[TreseMason]

I like the loop in front. That is the cutest.

[kimmaytube]

Watching this made we want locs! So elegant, Chescaleigh!

[TonyaTko]

Interesting,

I think I would like it better on you with a tighter braid-crown. Like you look Really beautiful with an up-do. I wld have liked to see you lift the crown a little higher.

-Tko

[karmbaby]
