Braiding Fishbone Hairstyles: Prepping Hair for the Spine

Video Transcript

"Ok, we've gone ahead and done a couple of the ribs. And what I'm going to show you now is how to do this spine to bring it back. This is just the same repeating pattern and process all the way down the scalp. And then once we have all these completed and they're all separated and rubber banded off, we can take all these rubber bands off. Don't be afraid to take them all off at once. If anything comes unraveled it's perfectly OK. This is all going to become one big beautiful braid going down the middle in this very lovely hairstyle. Just all these rubber bands, now as you're going and taking these rubber bands off, make sure you're paying attention to how smooth the hair is. Right here, this is great. It's combed out, it's ready to go. Right here, we're going to need to pick this out just a little bit just to make sure that it lays smooth. So pay attention to each individual braid as we get ready to go. So this is another one that we're probably going to have to pick out just a little bit before we get ready to create the spine. There we go. This one's good, this one's ready to go. Just pay attention to how much thickness there is in there compared to how flat that one can be on its own."
