 Hey Co-Friends I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today as you can see I'm at the salon about to give my hair did. Today's video is sponsored by Stilesie which is an app that makes it super easy to book professionals, get your hair done, make up done, nails done, whatever you need to do. But as some of you may know I am going to Costa Rica this week so when I go on vacation my curls go on vacation as well. So I'm going to do faux locks for the first time, we're going to do a crochet situation. We will see how that's done, this is all new to me and I'm so excited to see how it looks so let's get started. So we just had to blow-dry my hair because I meant to stretch it before I got here but I ran out of time, I just forgot so I washed my hair at 1am last night so it's still a little wet so now that we are all blow-dried what are we doing next? Okay so what I will be doing right now is braiding up Bianca's hair. The braid pattern is going to be straight forward. I'm going to do 10 braids so 5 on each side going straight back and then I'll do the same to the other half of her hair going straight back so I'm going to try to get all this long beautiful hair all tucked in so that we can do the crochet and yeah I'm excited. So I just finished braiding Bianca's hair straight back as far as the front and I also decided to connect her middle braid and use it as an anchor braid going to the side. So I really enjoyed doing this method because a lot of times when you install crochet braids and just do your hair straight back you can have opening in spaces where eventually when it starts to grow out that you can tell that there is hair missing there. If you don't put too many braids then it's not going to be as full. So I enjoyed doing the anchor braids going down so that when I attached the crochet hair there's some braids that are able to hold it going back. Tamara continues to braid my hair. Let me tell you how I got here using the app called Style Seat. It makes it so easy and convenient to find and book a hairstylist, makeup artist, lashes, nails, whatever you're looking for to get beautiful. So first when you open the app you can see all the different categories. I'm going to click braids and you can see all the local hairstylists in your area. You can see their work, their photos, their pricing and availability. Or if you already know the styles you want to work with you can just type in their name and go to their page. I'm going to type in Kamara Brown for her salon raw intuition and this time I'm going to look for crochet faux locks. I see it right here. I can see the price. I can see how many bundles I need and how long it's going to take. Once I click on my style it opens up her calendar and I can see her availability. Click on the date, click on the time and just like that I booked an appointment without even having to talk to anybody. Once you book you have the address saved in the app it'll give you a little reminder when it's time for your appointment and it's just so easy. So if you're looking to get your hair done anytime soon and can't find a stylist in your area download Style Seat right now. It's free to do so and it's going to make your life so much easier. I just finished car rolling Bianca's hair from front to back. This is how the back looks. Her hair is very long so what I did was take the end braid and just kind of crochet it through our hair so that way it's all nice and tucked in and there's no actual hair that's out and this install is going to be really nice. It should last her at least about a month and a half to two months. So here's the hair that I chose. I actually got this on Amazon. I've never purchased hair from Amazon besides my little clip on ponytails. So I will link all this in the description box. This is called Corita faux loc crochet hair. This is 24 inches I guess there's six pieces in each and yeah I got two packs or two orders of so we have eight bundles and eight bundles in total see how many we use. So right now I'm taking the crochet faux loc hair and using a latch hook to install the hair to her braid. So this is the first one. I like to start at the bottom and work my way up top so I'm going to open up the latch hook. This is what it looks like and you're going to stick the latch hook. I like to do it as close to the front of the hairline so that when the hair is installed it looks really nice and secure and I'm going to close it pull it through and also use that same latch hook to do the ends of the hair close it and pull it out. So this is what you should have by the end of it like that pretty easy how does that feel I might be able to do this one day that was great yeah so I like to make sure that it's just as close to the hairline so that once it's nice and full and done it just kind of looks like individual braids and not you know crochet starting further back so cool try to get it as close to the front of the hairline as you can without causing breakage or tension you don't want to pull too much one down 200 to go. So what do I do maintenance wise maintenance wise you just need to make sure that you continue to oil your scalp as often as at least three days of a week. I like to do it at my time so that you know you don't have to worry about any oils running or anything throughout the day or in the morning you're gonna also sleep with a bonnet cap it's very important to protect the crochet hair even though it's not your hair you also want to make sure that you get the longevity out of it without causing too much frizz early on so sleeping with a bonnet or a silk pillowcase will be very good for this style but it's it's super low maintenance I guess with washing since it doesn't my hair it's more about just my cleansing my scalp. Yes so using dry shampoos are very important any shampoo spray that you know you enjoy using on your scalp you can use just as long as it doesn't require you to truly have to rinse it out yeah you can just use like a cloth just kind of massage your scalp to get all the build up off of it and you can put your oils back in especially for the front of your hair so you know if you want to use edge control for baby hair definitely make sure at least once a week that you're taking off that edge control so that you can reapply it and you're not building up on your product halfway done and we're moving quickly. Okay so we are almost complete we have one more section left and that's what I was speaking of earlier about the anchor braids going to the side. I like to make sure that it's full I know sometimes people do not want that much hair in their head but when it comes to locks and twists and any of these type of crochet style over time the longer you want to wear it the more your hair will start spreading and you may have some braids that are going to be shown in between so to avoid that you might as well just make sure your hair is nice neat and compact in the beginning so that as it grows out you still won't be able to see any braids or have any any crochet area showing and this is the last crochet. We used eight packs exactly yeah exactly eight packs in the packaging it came with six so we needed two bundles of the pack so Bianca has some more left over in case she wants to keep filling it in but we're good with a lot of hair yeah so yeah it looks beautiful and she's also able to wear it to the side so she can flip it over to any side that she chooses you can also pull a few back out of her face we gotta do some hairstyles now yeah I've got my little jewels yeah and jewels so it's a really great protective style it's super easy super fun and it's lightweight right yeah and over time as she sleeps on it wears it the hair is going to start to relax and it's just going to be more down here right now this is like fresh right out the package so it feels very fluffy but by the time you wear for about a week it's just gonna feel very natural for you okay cool so yeah thank you I love it thank you so there you go the finished look I'm so ready for my vacation once again make sure you guys download the style seat app it's free I know it's hard to find stylus if you don't live in California you can always do my recommendation so now you could just download the free app and search in your city you can find people to do your makeup your hair nails lashes whatever it is it makes it super convenient so now that my time is up for my booking it's already paid Kamara so I'm good to go you could add your extra tip in here you could book your next one it just makes everything super convenient so thank you so see for sponsoring this video and Kamara for doing my hair you guys enjoyed this video make sure to give me a thumbs up and subscribe I post new videos every week you also could follow me on Instagram take talk and Twitter at Ms. Bianca Renee I'll see you guys next time thanks for watching Bianca Renee today
