"We are doing some hair here today on Alexa. And I've just barely put a little bit of water down on her hair. The next point that I would like to show, is that, you're going to want to section off her hair now. Okay. and it's nice to get a crisp clean section. Because if you don't, and if you're not using a comb, then you're not going to find that your part will be nearly as crisp or clean. Okay. And it's a lot easier to get rid of those wispys, like I told you, with a little bit of water, and that's what I barely did. I also have my hairspray on hand, that I may want to start with a little bit of hairspray here, and just comb some of that back before I gets started. My first section, I'm going to kind of take like a triangle, as you can see. I'm going to section off that area in this segment. And make sure that it's- you've got all of your hair, and it looks nice and crisp. Alright. And so in the next segment I'm going to show you how to take this first section of this French braid off into three, and then we're going to start adding some hair to it."
