    Great video. I learned a lot and did mine and they look like I went to the Jamaican shop. Shocking how CZcams videos can help us do wonders. I saved $375.00 as the hairdresser was charging me that. It cost​ me 16.87 for 4 buddles. wish I could post a pic of how bomb it looks. Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH. #Amazing

      Aya Maya I believe they use the hot water to get rid of the stiffness of the faux loc. Makes the hair move able.

    • @Tamfel_85
      @Tamfel_85 Před 5 lety

      Use a wax or a light moisturizer something that wont give you alot of slip since your hair is silkier.

      +Kersti Pitre ok so all this time I thought they braided their hair with the KANAKELON hair and then used the yarn to wrap around the KANAKELON braid!! I'm joy a fan on the yarn ones though I like the KANAKELON ones, just use regular old braiding hair on me. So now knowing they actually braid with the yard I really won't ever get them installed

    should your hair be clean when you do it ?

    • @KerstiPitre
      @KerstiPitre  Před 8 lety

      Yes your hair needs to be cleaned and dryed in the form that you prefer. You can blow dry or just do a braidout overnight so your hair will stretch and you can skip the heat.

    • @igrady19

    how long did it take to dry when you did the hot water?

    • @KerstiPitre
      @KerstiPitre  Před 6 lety

      It took about 3 hours I think. If you use a hooded dryer to aid in the drying time it will cut down the time significantly.

  • @princess181800

    You look great for just having a baby... To answer your hair after baby
    Question . I am a mother of 4 boys . All women experience what u are. what you need is a vitamin ( FOLIC ACID ) NO LESS THAN 800 MILLIGRAMS a day. I was a hair stylist for 18 years and this also worked on my clients who were experiencing hair loss do to menopause . If you are breast feeding you will continue to use the folic acid 1 year after from day you stopped. You will see a difference in your hair in one month if you are consistent with the vitamin. Also make sure you read the back of vitamin to see how many milligrams is in one capsule. I have yet to see folic acid come in 800 milligrams. Normally it's in 200.
    If your still taking prenatal vitamins that does have it in there but you will need to read the back cuz it never is enough...if you do try this let me know how it goes... Thank you for your easy yarn faux locs.
