(light upbeat music)
- As you can see, I have no bangs, right?
You are about to be mind-blown.
What I've done is I prepped my bangs.
Hi, how are you doing?
With some clip-ins.
What's your name?
So they just have some combs on there.
I'm just going to put this
all in a high ponytail.
Try to get this ponytail
up as high as I can.
(laughs)
Ding (laughs).
Okay, so my ponytail is up really high
kind of like at the top of my
head or the crown of my head.
I'm gonna add some curl
cream to the back of my hair.
Just to kind of slick it down in the back
so it's nice and slick!
It's nice and smooth!
Now I'm gonna add my bangs
that I've put little clips on,
right in the front like so.
Oh, look at that!
Haunty!
Haunty!
Slay!
This looks good but I
wanna add thickness to it
so I'll just add another clip-in like so.
Just gonna put that right
on top of the other one.
And there you have it, bangs!
Without the commitment.
(light upbeat music)
- We're gonna take this synthetic braid.
You can get it at your
local beauty supply,
it's normally about three to $4.
- I mean, come on!
- And you just need one.
And it comes out of the pack like this
with the rubber band attached to it.
And guess what?
We're gonna use that to
help us with the hairstyle.
- Yup!
- Take this rubber band and tie it around.
- So it stays on, right?
- So that it stays on.
- So when I'm whipping
my hair back and forth,
it doesn't fall off.
(laughing)
Could you imagine?
Oh my gosh, that'll be so embarrassing.
You're like on the dance floor,
grooving, and then all of a sudden,
your hair falls off, wow!
That's pretty embarrassing.
- I'm gonna take my curl enhancing spray,
wet it down a little.
This is just to soften the curl some
so I can have a little more control
when I start the hairstyle.
And I just run my fingers through.
Then we're gonna bring this
over, take a piece of the hair.
You can take the hair from anywhere,
take a small section and just
leave this part hanging out
'cause you're gonna use that
to finish--
- Do I hold it?
- Yeah.
Or you can leave it, you
don't have to hold it.
- Oh yes, hair, glorious hair.
- I've separated the
hair to three sections.
And then I'm gonna take
her hair underneath,
separate it into three
sections with this hair.
I'm going to loosely braid the braid down
and see how this hair is
covering her hair underneath?
And I just keep directing
the hair over hers
as I'm braiding down.
- [Tia] And this is so
like quick and fast.
- I've come to the end, I've
tied it off with my rubber band
and I kinda like the way
this looks at the end,
it looks really natural.
- Yeah.
- And then, you can pull the
braid apart a little like this.
- Give it a little style, personality.
- Now for the piece that I left out,
I'm just gonna take it and wrap it around
to kinda hide the rubber band
and this little extension part
that I've connected to our ponytail.
And the little end piece, I take it,
I tuck it, get a bobby pin, slidewayed,
it's not heavy, it's cute.
(laughing)
And you know what?
Sometimes you may get
tired of it hanging down
or you're going to bed for the evening,
you can take it, and wrap it around.
It's just the hair that keeps on giving.
(laughing)
- So what's happening now
is Kendra, that's Kendra.
Kendra!
She's like the queen of braids.
I'm telling you, she is the bomb.com!
She's putting it into two ponytails
and she's gonna add synthetic hair.
Here are my ponytails and
now we're gonna put in
the synthetic hair and braid it.
Long, beautiful hair.
I absolutely love braids.
It protects my hair from the heat
and at the same time, it's
stylish and fashionable,
and trendy.
This girl can braid.
(laughing)
Kendra just wraps some synthetic hair
around my ponytail, should I say,
just to make it really nice and neat.
Ah, this is so cool,
look at this, fabulous.
A lot of the times, you
can just put conditioner
in your hair and just kind of braid it up,
your hair is being
conditioned at the same time.
Sometimes you don't necessarily
always have to do your hair
'cause these braids can last a while.
Synthetic hair it's lots of fun,
it's very versatile, you can
do so many things with it,
and not only that, it's inexpensive.
Ah!
This is just a fun,
comfortable, casual look.
What Kendra is doing is
she's just taking the braids
and she's just putting it into
a bun, how simple and easy?
But it's so cute!
One thing that's cool about this hairstyle
is the braids when twisted,
they look very festive.
I would totally rock this hairstyle
at a cocktail holiday party
with a really cute dress.
Don't I always ask you
about doing a halo braid?
- Yes, all the time.
- I love halo braids!
They're just so easy.
So what Kendra is doing right now,
she just kind of
criss-crossed them in the back
and then she's just gonna bring them
across the top of my head.
I don't know, for some reason,
this just makes me feel so feminine.
(laughs)
Also, angels have halos.
I would consider myself an angel.
She's putting on these really cool jewels
that you can get it in any
hair supply store, right?
- Yes.
- And they're cheap!
(laughing)
I love this hairstyle
mainly because it's so easy.
I mean, look at how easy that was.
You just had two braids, you
criss-cross them in the back
and you just put them across
on the top of your head
and it looks like you
actually went to the salon
to get your hair done.
(upbeat music)
My wig!
(laughing)
So, Kendra, and Kim, what
all of these products are,
they're the ones that
introduced me to wigs.
- And what we have here
is a human hair wig.
So it's 100% human hair.
- It's gorgeous.
Darling, and you know,
I name all of my wigs.
Don't I?
- Don't you,
where did she go?
- I think she's Sasha.
- Sasha.
- Sasha.
She's just very flirty.
And see, she has highlights in here too
so I don't have to color my own hair.
- Yes, and we picked a texture
that's close to Tia's texture
so you know, it can look real.
And the head, I got at
a local beauty supply,
the little holder that
clamps on to the table,
I got it at a local beauty supply
so all of this is cost effective.
But the human hair will
cost you a little bit more,
but what you pay for that one time,
it'll last you if you take
care of it like your hair--
- Forever, forever.
- Forever.
If you have a few, 'cause
some people collect them--
- Like I do.
- You just pack 'em away
like your favorite sweater
or your favorite dress,
pack it away, put it up,
pull it out when you wanna use it again.
- I cannot believe I'm giving away
my secrets away right now, Kendra.
Oh my gosh, but see,
that's why I love you guys.
- You can't just put it
over Tia's head like this
'cause it won't work, it'll
sit on the top of the head
like a hat and you'll know
that it's not her hair.
So we're gonna put her back.
Stay right here for me, Sasha.
- [Tia] Yes, don't move.
- So we're gonna go to Tia.
Part her hair down the middle.
This is really quick.
Some people wear the wig permanently,
meaning that they don't
take it off at night,
they permanently keep it on.
So we have different base patterns
that we do underneath
to hold the hair down
while we secure the wig.
So I'm parting down the middle
and I'm gonna get my clips
to get a little control.
Now we have different versions
of how we would apply the wig.
Some people use glue,
some people use more intricate braiding,
and they sew the wig on.
We're gonna use clip-ins.
So we're gonna take Tia's edge
and we're parting this little bit out
so it has more of a natural feel to it.
'Cause we're not gluing it down.
- Yes, we're not gluing it down
and then when I put on the wig,
we can blend my hair in
over the lace of the wig.
That's what makes it look so natural.
Your natural hair, it's
not getting damaged,
it gets healthy, right?
- Yes, it gets healthy.
And right now, I've sectioned
a small thin layer of her hairline.
As Tia said, it's gonna
blend into her hair
but right behind that part
that I've sectioned out,
I sectioned out another row of hair.
And what I'm creating now
it's what's called an anchor braid.
This is where I'll take the clip-in,
slide it underneath and
with the anchor braid,
it keeps the wig from sliding back.
- Yes.
- The hair is prepped, it's ready to go.
We have this tan-ish stocking cap.
Not only does it protect the hair,
it also creates a scalp
illusion for under the wig.
- Yes, like that is like an awesome tip
because these come in
all different shades and colors, right?
- Yes.
- And when you use this tan color,
it matches the color of
your skin, your scalp.
- Your scalp.
- So when you put the wig on,
you'll see this cool kind of illusion
but it's a great tip.
- Time for Sasha!
(laughing)
Show time!
- Show time.
- So remember we talked
about the hair clips,
the same way as we made our clip-on bangs,
we've made a clip-on wig.
- And you're gonna clip it on
to the anchor braid, right?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Make sure it fits all the
way around down the bottom.
We've clipped on the
wig, taking your edges
by making sure they blend in.
I'm gonna use a little hair gel,
kinda lay it down to blend in.
Tia's ready to go!
- These are some of my
great extension looks.
But I wanna see these looks on you guys
so make sure you tag my Instagram page,
Tia Mowry's Quick Fix and also,
make sure you subscribe.
I'll see you next week, bye guys.
- Bye!
