I'm Mindy from Cute Girl Hairstyles

and today I'm here with Miss Kamri.

-Hi, guys.

-And we are going to show you how

to do a braid we're calling the twist braid.

So it's very cool, and yes, before all of you

guys ask me a million times in the comments,

Kamri is wearing mascara today.

She has entered the land of mascara and she turned 12.

So yes, you can see her lashes from a mile away today.

So let's get going on the braid, Kam.

OK, now I started this braid by just parting her hair slightly

off center.

But if you prefer and you don't want a distinguishable part,

you can just stick a brush in and comb it all going back.

We're going to flip her around, and in the very back,

right by the crown of her head, I'm

going to pick up a section of hair.

And this is what is going to be our two-piece twist

down the center of the entire braid.

We're going to take this and divide it into two pieces.

We're going to cross the right strand over the left just once

and then hold it.

Now we're going to go to the left side of her head

and I'm going to pick up a little section of hair

and I'm going to put it over that last section

so it falls right through the middle.

You can see I just dropped it right

through the middle right there.

And then I'm going to take these two strands, the original two

we had, and just give them one more twist.

And just know that when you're twisting,

the right piece is always going to be twisting over the left,

all the way down.

So we're going to go back to this right side

now and pick up a section of hair.

And comb any little bumps out of it

so it lays nice and clean and flat.

And I'm going to, again, cross it

over that right twist piece and right through the middle.

And then I'm going to take my pieces.

So you can see that this is that middle piece.

I'm going to end up letting it drop,

but I don't want to let it drop right now

or it will loosen the braid up a little.

So these are my twist pieces.

I'm going to take that right strand again

and cross it over the left and then drop the piece so that I

still maintain the tightness of the braid right there.

I don't want it too, too tight, but I

do want it to not be loose.

OK.

So I'm picking up some more hair from the left side

and we're just going to repeat these same steps over and over

and over.

So again, I'm putting it over my left twist piece

and letting it drop through the middle.

You can see it's right there, it's going to drop.

I'm taking my two twist pieces and I'm

crossing the right one over the left.

And them I'm going to hang onto them.

I'm going to go back to this side and pick up more hair.

I'm going to just continue on just the same exact way.

When you get down here to the bottom,

you can kind of feel those sections

that you've already used before-- they're

a little bit separated off.

So now I'm just grabbing each of those sections from around back

and bring them back over the twist again as we go down

and still continuing just the same technique of laying it

in the middle and then twisting those two pieces over the top.

So you can see this is a similar effect to a waterfall

twist, where you're just putting a twist in front

and in back of each section of the braid.

You can see this piece is coming around.

I'm just taking that twist piece over the top

and crossing it again and then dropping it.

And I'm just going to keep going as far

down as I can before I run out of hair.

Now when I ran out of hair, I just gather all of the pieces

up together and secure the whole thing

with an elastic down at the bottom.

And then I go back and if there's

anything I want to loosen up to make it softer,

make both sides look even, then you can just

go back and tweak it a little bit like this.

And voila, you have this really fun--

it's almost like a cross between a waterfall braid

and a mermaid braid because it has

the fall of a mermaid braid, but then you

can see all the way down.

You have this really cool stranding this twist that

goes all the way down the length of the braid.

OK, let's do the final spin.

So pretty.

What do you think?

-I like

-And you can see I left a couple of pieces

by her ears to just add a little softness but you can do more

or less, depending on your preference.

-And again, pull that hair through and give it a twist.

Now don't worry if you're getting big loops like this,

because you can come back later.

Hi, Kammers.

Show me your teethers.

Can you show me your teethers?

Hi.

-Hi!

-Whoa.

Back up.

I can't see you when you're that close.

What are you doing?

-Uh, playing hide and seek from Kamri.
