Hi, my name is Lauren an on behalf of Expert Village; I'm here to show you how to achieve
various styles through using regular braids. I'm just going to show you for a few quick
fixes for hairs that are unruly. We all know that if we started a French braid or any other
kind of braid that's up here at the top of the head and then we had a little bit of unruly
hair down here that did not want to cooperate. We don't want to start over and try again.
Now I?m going to show you in Ashley's hair just by doing a regular braid. And I will
make sure there are some pieces that don't cooperate as I go thru. I'm going through
with the braid; see how her layers start to pop out within her braid, the little pieces?
This is what we would consider an unruly braid. Many people with layers happen to have this
problem for the simple fact that their layered hair creates little pieces that pop out because
the length is not uniform with the rest of the length of the braid. There are two ways
to do this. One way is to take a bit of a heavier product, usually one that is more
of putty or taffy, something that has a deeper consistency a little heavier. You are going
to use it and piece it down. You can literally flatten those pieces into the braid. For a
piece like this which won't flatten. What you are going to do is take a bobby pin. You
are going to place the hair down exactly where you would want it, and you are actually going
to push the bobby pin down into the braid. As you can see the bobby pin gets lost in
the braid and if you're not going to see it nobody will notice it, however, those pieces
of hair that are just sticking out and doing whatever they like, are no longer going to
be found. So again, put the piece of hair where you want it to. Open up your bobby pin
and just stick it straight down right into that braid. You don't see the head of the
bobby pin and those unruly hairs are no longer to be found.
