The Woven Lattice Pigtails
Transcript

00:02 - Hey guys, in today's tutorial,
00:04 we're going to be doing these woven pigtails,
00:06 and this was actually one of the very first styles
00:08 we posted on our website clear back in 2008.
00:12 Over the years, we've had a lot of requests
00:15 for a video tutorial on this one,
00:17 so we decided to do that for you today.
00:20 - Keep watching if you wanna find out
00:21 how to make these pigtails.
00:24 - So to start with, I'm going to make a side part here
00:26 on the top of her head.
00:29 You can make the part on the side or in the middle,
00:32 whichever you prefer.
00:33 I prefer a side part.
00:35 After you do that, you're going to want to make a part
00:38 from ear to ear as well.
00:40 So I'm just coming off of that side part
00:42 down to her ear on each side.
00:44 If your daughter has bangs,
00:47 you're not going to need to do this.
00:49 You can just leave the bangs in front
00:50 and then start the hairstyle behind the bangs.
00:53 And then after you have that part made,
00:57 now you're going to make another part
00:59 straight down the middle, directly behind that.
01:02 So you've got your side part here.
01:04 Come over to the middle
01:06 and then just split it in half
01:09 as if you were making pigtails.
01:11 So after you make that center part,
01:15 now you've got this front section that you parted out
01:18 or the bangs and then just this main section
01:21 where you're going to make the pigtail.
01:23 About an inch back from this front section,
01:25 you want to make another part down to her ear.
01:28 And for now, I'm just going to put that
01:32 in a temporary elastic to keep it out of the way.
01:35 And I'm also going to do the same thing on the other side.
01:38 So I'm going to have a small section in between
01:40 on both sides of her head.
01:43 At this point, I'm going to leave this little section here
01:46 that we made in the middle out
01:48 and then I'm going to bring everything else
01:50 back into a pigtail.
01:51 So I'm basically just scooping these bangs back
01:54 into the pigtail going right over this section here
01:57 that I'm leaving out.
01:59 Okay, here's what it should look like at this point.
02:06 I have the pigtail made and there's just a section here
02:08 in the middle that I left out.
02:10 And then I'm going to do the exact same thing
02:12 on this other side.
02:13 I'm going to leave this little section out
02:16 and bring the front back and put everything
02:18 into a pigtail back here.
02:20 Now that those pigtails are made,
02:22 I'm going to remove this temporary elastic
02:25 and one side at a time,
02:26 I'm going to start over here on the right
02:28 and I'm going to make some twists
02:30 and bring them over to this pigtail.
02:32 You can do as many twists as you want.
02:34 I usually do three or four.
02:36 And there's several different ways you can do this.
02:39 If you want the hair to be less twisted
02:41 and to lay more flat, I would suggest adding
02:43 a tiny rubber band at each section
02:46 and that'll kind of keep the hair separated.
02:49 Or you can take the hair and braid it
02:51 and that's probably the easiest thing to do
02:53 because it's going to stay separated for you better.
02:56 I'm just going to make some twists.
02:59 To start with, I am going to spray this hair
03:02 down with some water so that we don't have flyaways.
03:05 I would say that is pretty essential.
03:08 You need to either get the hair wet
03:09 or you're going to need some gel or pomade to do this.
03:13 And then I'm just going to go along this hair
03:15 and make some sections.
03:17 So I'm basically just going to take my comb
03:20 and part out a little square.
03:23 And depending on how many twists you want
03:25 is the size you want to make these.
03:27 Now that I have that parted out,
03:29 I'm going to start twisting it.
03:30 And I'm twisting it to the left
03:32 towards the center of her head.
03:34 When I have this twisted down far enough
03:39 that it reaches the pigtail,
03:40 I'm just going to take a little claw clip
03:42 and hold that into place while I twist the other sections.
03:47 So I'm trying to make this second one
03:49 about the same size as I did the first one.
03:52 And again, I'm just going to twist this up
03:57 over to the other side.
03:59 Okay, now that I've twisted up all of that hair,
04:09 I'm going to add all of these twists into the ponytail.
04:12 And to do that, I'm just going to add a rubber band
04:15 over the one that I already have there.
04:17 (upbeat music)
04:20 And now I'm going to do the same thing
04:23 with this hair that we have left on the other side.
04:26 And I'm going to try and make sure
04:27 that I get four twists in here
04:29 the same way I did over here,
04:30 just so that it comes out even.
04:32 So with this hair on this side,
04:35 I'm going to be twisting it the opposite way.
04:37 I brought these twists in towards the left,
04:39 so it was coming in this way.
04:41 I'm going to twist this hair towards the right.
04:44 And then instead of just bringing this
04:46 over to the ponytail and clipping it in,
04:49 I'm actually going to be weaving it
04:50 through these twists that are already here.
04:53 So I'm going to bring this first twist
04:55 over this one and then under the next one.
04:58 And then over and under.
05:03 And this is where the twisting makes it easier.
05:08 If you just have the hair laying flat,
05:10 you might need to use a topsy tail or something like that.
05:13 So for the rest of these twists,
05:15 I'm going to be threading them the opposite way
05:17 as I did the one before.
05:19 So this first one, I started by going over this first twist.
05:23 I'm going to bring this one under.
05:25 And then I'm going to go over, under, over.
05:30 If you need to kind of loosen these up as you're going,
05:35 you can, and then tighten them again at the end.
05:38 (upbeat music)
05:41 So as you can see, these have kind of loosened up
05:44 as I've done the weaving.
05:45 I'm just going to fix those by taking this elastic out
05:48 and pulling them tight again and wrapping it up.
05:51 And then over here, I'm just going to place an elastic
05:54 over the top of these twists
05:55 the same way I did on the other side.
05:58 Okay, here is the final twist.
06:00 I'm going to bring this over and under.
06:02 And then I'm going to bring this over
06:04 and under and then I'm going to bring this over
06:06 and under and then I'm going to bring this over
06:08 and under and then I'm going to bring this over
