Demo on how to do Advance #gynesis #hairgynesis ! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do advanced tree braids, which are a protective hairstyle where extensions are incorporated into the hair through a braiding technique.
Materials Needed:
• Hair extensions (pre-tipped or bulk hair)
• Rat-tail comb
• Hair clips or bands
• Edge control or styling gel
• Moisturizer or leave-in conditioner
• Scissors
Step-by-Step Method:
1. Preparation:
• shampoo and condition your natural hair thoroughly.
• Detangle and moisturize your hair.
• Part your hair into sections using a rat-tail comb and secure each section with hair clips or bands.
2. Parting:
• Create a horizontal part at the nape of your neck to start the first row of braids.
• Clip the rest of the hair out of the way.
3. Start the Tree Braid:
• Take a small section of hair from the horizontal part.
• Place the extension hair under the section of your natural hair, so it’s positioned between your scalp and the section you’re holding.
4. Braiding Process:
• Begin a traditional three-strand braid, incorporating the extension hair with your natural hair.
• After a few stitches, leave one strand of the extension out to hang freely, and continue braiding with the remaining hair.
• Repeat this process, leaving strands of the extension out at regular intervals.
5. Continue Braiding:
• As you progress, ensure the strands you leave out are consistent in size for a uniform look.
• Braid tightly but comfortably to secure the extensions and your natural hair.
6. Secure the Ends:
• Once you reach the desired length or run out of natural hair to braid, secure the end of the braid with a small knot tie across the hair while tieing. In a knot.
7. Move to the Next Section:
• Release the next section of hair and repeat the process, ensuring each braid is neatly aligned with the previous row.
• Continue braiding in horizontal rows until all the hair is braided.
8. Finishing Touches:
• Once all braids are completed, apply edge control or styling gel to smooth down any flyaways.
• Style the tree braids as desired (e.g., in a ponytail, bun, or left down).
Tips for Perfecting Your Craft:
• Consistency: Ensure the sections of hair and extension strands left out are even for a neat appearance.
• Tension: Braid with consistent tension to avoid discomfort or damage to your natural hair.
• Practice: Practice on mannequin heads or seek feedback from experienced braiders to improve your technique.
• Maintenance: Advise clients on proper maintenance, such as regular moisturizing and gentle handling, to prolong the hairstyle’s lifespan.
With practice, your tree braid technique will become more advanced and refined, allowing you to create beautiful, professional-looking styles.
