Necessary Tools for Braiding Hair

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. I'm here to show you how to achieve various style for using regular braids. The actual tool for braiding hair are very easy and simple. These are one of my favorite brushes it a teasing brush or a teasing comb. Ultimate it is your tail comb. Your brush is going to create the smoothness in your hair cause it does have those natural bristles which do help create smoothness. It actually adds shine. Your tail aspect out of it which is this fine point is going to help with partings of the hair. As you are going through your braid, you can move this and achieve a nice crisp part. All you have to do is put it up by the top of scalp and bring it straight down and separate right where it does. You will create that very nice smooth line going down. You can find a brush like this at almost any local drug store and in all different beauty supply shops. I definitely recommend having something in such in this nature in order to do the hair. It is a two for one deal; it a tail comb and brush in one. The only other thing that you would possibly need for your braid is different sizes of rubber bands. Depending on how big of a braid you are going to do depends on the size of rubber bands you would use. If you are going to do smaller braids kind of adds a flair to your hair. They do sell these tiny little plastic rubber bands. Again you can get them at any drug store, nay beauty supply and they come in a bags like a 100. You can stretch it up stretchable so that way they would be easy to put in but what they would actually go around the hair and enable you to get those smaller sections and wrap them. Without having to wrap a 1000 times. You are larger diameter rubber is going to be used for when you have larger sections of hair that way you don't have to wrap it. If I were to use this, in order to wrap a section this big I would have to wrap this about 150 times. Even then I will not stay in. Then you have your medium size. With your medium size is for between sections. Something that is too big for this or too small for the other and you are just going to wrap it around. Again you are really going to want to pick the diameter of the size of rubber band that you are using by the section of the hair you would be wrapping.
