Paisley’s Jumbo-Twist Braids (2 Methods) | Cute Girls Hairstyles

Today, Paisley (age 9) and I will show you how to create adorable jumbo #ropetwist #braids! To help add color and volume/length, I’ll teach you how to add in synthetic hair to each twist. What hair color should we try on Pais next? 😍

Hairitage product used in this video:

We pretty much have doing Paisley’s hair down to a science! These braiding sessions can take awhile, so I have all of my Hairitage products and tools ready and Pais stays entertained either on her iPad, or by watching TV! These types of protective styles will last in her hair for several weeks, so even though it takes us 3 hours in one sitting, once it’s done… it’s good to go for a long time!

Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1: The night before, wash, condition, and prep the hair by stretching in bands overnight.

Step 2: Removing the bands, begin to section the hair off into sections with a rat tail comb.

Step 3: Gently brush the hair, and run Hairitage Leave in Conditioner Pudding through it.

Step 4: Run Blue Magic down the hair to condition and coat the hair - holds moisture in the hair.

Step 5: Apply gel to the root line to keep the baby fuzzy hairs from popping out on the scalp.

Step 6: Separate the section you’re working on into 2 sections, and lay the synthetic hair in between those 2 sections.

Step 7: Pull the 2 sections of natural hair up and around the synthetic hair, and secure with an elastic.

Step 8: Begin to twist the natural hair in with the synthetic hair, rolling each section to the right, and then twisting together. Use blue magic on the hair as your work your way down to keep everything nice and secure.

Step 9: Remember to stagger the rows so that the boxes aren’t right on top of each other.

Step 10: Heat set! Dip the ends of the hair in super hot water to set.

Step 11: Apply foaming setting lotion.

Step 12: Accessorize! We added cute little ribbons and jewels to accent the look, and take it to the next level!

i love how she does what is accommodating for Paisley’s hair and not try to change her in any way. Love these videos!

[atmreads]

It is so refreshing to see a parent who has a child with curly hair try to learn how to best take care of it rather than flat ironing it every day.

Chile, when Mindy put that dab of blue magic grease on the back of her hand while she braided, I was like "I know she was watching some authentic black hair tutorials on YouTube." I'm Black. I grew up with our living room looking just like that with hair everywhere. I also like how Mindy is comfortable/secure enough to keep the comment section on. I know she must get some haters. But, I hope she sees the love and positivity too. Great job. Great mom.

[blahblahblahish]

COME ON WHITE MAMA MAKING IT HAPPEN FOR HER BLACK I'M HERE FOR THE TWISTS, THE GEL, THE BLUE MAGIC!!!! ALL OF 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Mindy Mindy Mindy! I love to see a non african american momma taking care of her african american daughters hair. Honeslty Mindy, you are mom of the freaking decade because you never miss a beat with your little one's hair. You're amazing sis!

[rachaeld.]

I love that Mindy takes the time to learn about Paisley's hair that is so loving and supportive! Anything can be learned and that is amazing!

[KendraMoralez]

Mindy, I can’t even begin to express my love for you and taking time to learn how to do your black child’s hair the right way and being so comfortable this is amazing thank you!

[sundralawton]

I don’t ever comment but I’m seriously watching and going “wow!!” Just because you’re doing so good, it makes me want to cry. This was my life growing up, from the sitting on the floor, to the mess in the living room from all the hair supplies, to the BLUE MAGIC, to my mama keeping me distracted by a phone or something. I love how you care for your baby’s hair like it’s supposed to be taken care of. All the right techniques. I feel like I’m watching a little cousin getting her hair done haha ❤️❤️❤️ I love that she’ll still get that universal black girl experience thanks to her mama taking time to learn!

[alizaenver]

She’s so cute, I love these cute hair tutorials.

[MadisonSimon]

I love that the McKnights make sure to let Paisley know that her natural hair is beautiful as well ❤️

[reelramirez]

No one:
Literally no one:
Mindy: hi I’m-
Paisley: hi I’m Paisley

[lashundaanderson]

I am SO glad you take the time to embrace her curls and figure out how to protective style it!!!

[definezt]

As a black women who does her own hair, I can tell the years or research, and effort you put into this child’s hair. Everything you used/did for her hair was amazing and the outcome was very nice! you even ask the audience the perfect questions such as suggestions and things, which shows you want to continue to learn. Good job Momma 👍🏾

[sydneysmith]

Paisley is gorgeous! I remember when she was a little baby🥰💖

[AmarisRenaeTV]

When Raising a chocolate baby, teaching her to love and care for her crown is soooo important! Great job mama! And innocence braiding hair is very good!

[Danajanene]

I can tell you know all about black hair when you took that "little dab" of product. 😁😁😁

[sarah-divinefetuga]

You are such a good mom. Also I like how you changed the gel when you were working with her edges. Just a tip: Most people start their twists with braids to ensure that the twist stays put💕 x

[jmag]

Beautiful!! The gold string took it up a notch! It was so pretty before, but the gold added such a wow moment!

[loveterrimarie]

This just made me so happy. The fact that you are taking your time and learning about her hair texture, not just flat ironing it or having her look busted by the head because you have never dealt with her hair type is something I 👏👏applaud you for. 😊😊😊

[nmusica]

I love that you added the hair jewelry too. That’s something that ties us back to cultures most of us of long forgotten. Not trying to whitewash her twists - using them to make her hair appear long and straight like I used to do with my twists as a teen. She will have more confidence for it. We love!!
