How to Add Waves to Your Hair Using Braids

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Amelia and I'm going to show you how to add waves to your hair using braiding. First, you want to make sure your hair is wet. You're going to get the most, the best waves, and the most waves out of it. And, then you want to figure out how wavy you want your hair to be. The size of the braid is going to depend on the size of the wave, or I should say the size of the wave is going to depend on the size of the braid. So, depending on how much hair you pick up, just want to grab it, divide it into three sections, and just create a traditional braid. I like to have a little product in there, cause that helps to hold, hold the wave a lot better. So, you just braid the hair all the way down and you do this all over your head. You can start here, and go all the way over. Everything, you can use large braids, small braids, and then go to sleep. Once they're dry the next morning, you take them out, shake it loose and you get a nice crimped look wave. Now, if you want a softer wave, you need to choose a lot larger pieces of hair. Another trick that you can do if you're in a hurry, you braid the wave, or I mean braid the hair, take a flat iron, and just run it down the wave, I'm sorry, the braid. Unbraid it, once it cools down, and that's another quick technique for putting waves in your hair using braids."
