Introduction

Welcome back to my channel, loves! In today's video, I will be showing you how to achieve beautiful jumbo braids using a simple and easy technique. This method is perfect for those who love short hair or want to try a new hairstyle. So, without further ado, let's get started!

Step 1: Cutting the Hair

To begin, you'll need a large hair extension, specifically jumbo braids. Cut the hair into four equal parts, as we will be working with one section at a time. By cutting the hair into smaller sections, it will be easier to manage and style. Make sure to trim the ends of each section to avoid any sharp edges.

Step 2: Combing and Applying Cream

Next, take a comb or brush and gently comb through the hair to remove any tangles or knots. If needed, you can apply a hair cream or styling product to make the hair smoother and more manageable. However, if the hair is already smooth enough, you can skip this step.

Step 3: Rolling the Hair with Flexi Rods

Now, it's time to roll the hair using flexi rods. There are two ways to roll the hair: in the middle or on just one side. For a more voluminous look, roll the hair in the middle. However, if you want to conserve the flexi rods, roll the hair on both sides, using just one rod per section. Remember to roll the hair flat and not in a twisting motion. Repeat this process for all four sections of hair.

Step 4: Using Hot Water

Once the hair is rolled with flexi rods, it's time to use hot water to set the curls. Fill a bowl with boiling water and carefully dip each rolled section of hair into the water. Allow the hot water to penetrate through the hair for about three to five minutes. Afterward, remove the hair from the water and dry it with a towel. It's important to ensure that the hair is not completely dry, as slightly damp hair is easier to unravel.

Step 5: Unraveling the Hair

To unravel the hair, start by gently pulling apart each flexi rod. If the hair is difficult to unravel, you can use scissors to cut the ends of the rods and make the process easier. Slowly unravel each section of hair, making sure to separate it into smaller sections according to your desired style.

Step 6: Splitting the Hair into Sections

Now that the hair is unraveled, it's time to split it into different sections. This will depend on how you want your final hairstyle to look. The smaller the section, the more intricate the crochet pattern will be. Take your time to split the hair evenly and according to your preference.

Step 7: Using a Wig Cap

For this step, you will need a wig cap with holes. Start by wearing a regular wig cap on the mannequin head and adjust it to fit securely. Then, layer the wig cap with holes on top, making sure it aligns with the crochet pattern. The wig cap with holes will guide you during the crochet process.

Step 8: Crocheting the Hair

Now it's time to crochet the hair onto the wig cap. Begin crocheting from the side, making it the back of the hairstyle. Continue crocheting in a U-shape, leaving the middle section empty. If you prefer, you can start from the back and move in a circular motion. Crocheting is a simple technique that anyone can learn, even if they have no prior experience with hairstyling.

Step 9: Trimming the Hair

After crocheting the hair, you may find that the front section appears bulky. To create a more balanced look, feel free to trim the excess hair at the top. Be cautious not to over-trim, as the holes in the crochet pattern are designed to provide a natural and reasonable appearance. Trim the hair to your desired length and shape, whether you prefer a shorter or longer look.

Step 10: Applying Hair Serum

To finish off the style and add a touch of moisture and shine, apply a hair serum. Mix water with the hair serum and spray it onto the hair. Massage the serum into the hair, ensuring it reaches every strand. This will not only moisturize the hair but also help the curls stay in place and provide a soft and natural look.

Conclusion

And there you have it! You've successfully achieved beautiful jumbo braids using a simple and straightforward method. This hairstyle is perfect for those who love short hair and want to try something new. Remember to take your time and follow each step carefully for the best results. Enjoy your new hairstyle and rock it with confidence!
