"Okay, we're into our second turn now. And remember to grab from underneath the braid towards the middle to get this braid to consistently run this direction, to keep it from leaning too much to the side. So I'm going to grab this outside hair, just to keep it lined up, and pull that underneath. We're still not going to grab from here yet, we're going to get a couple more middle pieces, just to get it to stay in the middle. Just keep running your fingers through the hair. Go ahead and grab from the outside on this corner. There we go. And we'll grab one more middle piece and then we'll start grabbing from the outside. Okay, now we're on the length that we can just start regularly grabbing our outside pieces to add underneath, to start heading straight down. Go ahead and grab this outside. And we'll work our way down from here. We just completed the second turn. For this pattern, you can keep moving like this along the scalp, however many you want. Some, some people like to just do a turn braid on the outside and then do straight back from there. Or do some sort of zig zag in the middle. It's whatever you want to do. Sometimes people just keep it on the outside and leave the rest fro'd out. It?s whatever you want to do, whatever your client feels like doing. Have fun with it though, this is very creative, I love doing this. And we just keep adding hair and crossing underneath to get this to go all the way down. And on this braid, because it's the second one, you'll see that the size is more consistent all the way through because we don't have the hairline to adjust to. It's looking really good. Just keep separating the hair with your fingers. Smooth it out, and we're just about to finish it."
