The next technique we're going to do is a two strand flat twist. So, instead of doing
the three strand corn row we're going to do a two strand corn row. It has the same look,
except for it looks like a two strand braid rather than a three strand. We're just going
to follow that same pattern just to show you all of these right next to each other. You
also, it's very important to keep all excess hair out of the way so it doesn't get connected
in and get in your way while you're braiding. OK. So, in this technique we're going to do
the same thing. We're going to grab two pieces of hair, separate them, and begin to twist
them around each other in the same fashion. As we go we're going to grab the hair under
it to make it a chain link; a row. All you do is continue to twist, but you're grabbing
the hair under it and keeping it tight to the head. You don't want to move your hands
too far out from the head. You want to keep them as close to the scalp as possible, because
that will keep the twist or the braid close the scalp also. If you were to move your hands
out here you'd have a totally different looking braid. It would loosen it up, like so. See
how that looks? It won't be tight, but if you stay close to the scalp working your way
down as you go it will keep the twist tight, like so. You see the different between when
I kept it close to the scalp as opposed to not. It made it kind of fuzzy and thick looking
as opposed to how it look when you keep it tight and close to the scalp. OK. There you
are.
