So, we're going to be doing some cornrows with extensions on Ashley's hair, my little
sister. And I justed wanted to, I told you guys a little bit about some of the tools
you're going to need, some of the rubber bands that you're going to need. Here is some of
the hair that we're going to be adding to Ashley's beautiful hair. And so if you've
noticed I've really, I've done a good job at picking a good match for Ashley. That's
not always the case though. You may not always want something that's going to be her exact
match. I mean you see I have some streaks in my hair. You could also do sometimes the
same thing with extensions. You can add some of the same natural hair color and then go
for different color. Some different lighter browns or even some blonds to add into the
hair. And that can be a lot of fun, too. But today we're just going to keep it simple.
And we've picked a color that matches Ashley's hair. So what I'm going to do, Ashley wants
not a long, long pony tail, but what I'm going to do is I'm going to take this tuft of hair
and I'm going to get it ready to cut right down the middle. Because that's an actually
really, really long, long braid. And so I'm going to cut it in half like so with my hair
scissors. And part of it's still attached to the rubber band. I'm going to set it over
here for just a second. And we need to organize and basically figure out how thick we want
these different braids. I've decided that we're only going to do maybe about 8 to 10
braids all over Ashley's hair to put it in the pony tail. And so I need about 8 to 10
of these tufts separated like that. And so to organize it I have my tub over here and
I'm going to lay them on the tub. 1, 2, and they're fairly thick as you can see. 3, okay.
I'm going to keep them fairly thick so that when I braid them into Ashley's hair she's
going to have a good amount of hair to work with. Okay and so we'll get started there
in just a minute. So organize yourself first. And then you'll be that much happier because
if you get going and you're not organized and you don't have the hair laying out and
ready to go you're going to have to stop what you're doing and sometimes that's not very
fun so.
