0:01:00.291,0:01:02.171
Good evening,

0:01:02.759,0:01:05.625
and welcome back on the channel!

0:01:07.092,0:01:11.494
I hope you're all having a lovely year so far.

0:01:14.128,0:01:20.695
I wanted to start 2023 with a new hairstyle video.

0:01:21.328,0:01:23.728
And this time I will show you

0:01:23.728,0:01:27.446
a Renaissance inspired hairstyle

0:01:27.780,0:01:29.679
that we could see during

0:01:29.679,0:01:33.848
the 16th century in Europe

0:01:33.848,0:01:39.731
and that involves hair lacing / hair taping.

0:01:41.432,0:01:43.799
It is quite simple.

0:01:45.128,0:01:49.613
So I picked one of my 2 doll heads

0:01:50.063,0:01:53.130
the one that has the longest hair.

0:01:54.702,0:01:57.502
It is a quite tricky hairstyle

0:01:57.502,0:02:01.136
to do on short or curly hair

0:02:01.136,0:02:04.203
so if you have shorter hair than this

0:02:04.203,0:02:07.969
you may want to add extensions.

0:02:09.871,0:02:13.104
Here it's barely long enough

0:02:13.104,0:02:15.621
but it should be OK.

0:02:20.288,0:02:23.856
So let's have a look at what we will need.

0:02:25.206,0:02:29.791
So of course a comb and a brush

0:02:29.791,0:02:33.108
to get smooth hair before we begin.

0:02:39.275,0:02:42.892
A few hair clips,

0:02:43.960,0:02:45.659
very basic.

0:02:48.427,0:02:51.412
Just to hold the braids

0:02:51.412,0:02:55.195
before we start stitching.

0:03:00.245,0:03:03.063
Of course you're going to need a ribbon.

0:03:05.530,0:03:08.765
You can choose any ribbon youd like.

0:03:12.168,0:03:16.801
Just make sure it's long and strong enough.

0:03:18.119,0:03:22.318
So cotton or satin would be just fine.

0:03:29.220,0:03:34.870
Try to avoid silky and thin ribbons like this

0:03:34.870,0:03:37.422
it's not strong enough

0:03:37.422,0:03:40.405
and it would slip on the hair.

0:03:42.755,0:03:47.322
Since we have blond hair here,

0:03:47.322,0:03:52.007
I don't want a color that would be too light.

0:03:52.273,0:03:57.201
So black, blue or red would be pretty.

0:04:08.903,0:04:12.252
And you will also need a needle.

0:04:13.386,0:04:16.420
Of course you don't want it to be sharp

0:04:16.420,0:04:19.805
here is a very blunt one.

0:04:30.896,0:04:34.420
So now it is time to detangle the hair

0:04:34.420,0:04:36.587
before I start the hairstyling.

0:04:37.301,0:04:39.135
And if you're doing this

0:04:39.135,0:04:41.419
one someone else's head

0:04:41.419,0:04:45.285
which will be much easier actually,

0:04:45.285,0:04:48.369
you can also do a scalp massage.

0:05:19.074,0:05:21.408
It's not really tangled.

0:06:33.447,0:06:34.597
Alright,

0:06:34.597,0:06:38.115
I think I can use the comb directly.

0:07:10.930,0:07:13.187
There is a tiny knot here.

0:07:20.294,0:07:21.707
Good.

0:09:26.616,0:09:28.466
Alright.

0:09:35.869,0:09:37.886
It looks fine.

0:09:53.249,0:09:56.401
Alright, perfect.

0:09:58.018,0:10:02.436
Now I'm going to simply part the hair

0:10:02.436,0:10:04.352
right at the center,

0:10:04.352,0:10:06.385
on the top of the head.

0:10:24.328,0:10:27.878
And I'm going to do the same

0:10:28.378,0:10:30.061
at the back.

0:10:41.229,0:10:42.963
Alright.

0:10:46.763,0:10:49.798
And now I'm going to make

0:10:49.798,0:10:52.047
very classic braids,

0:10:52.047,0:10:54.316
one on each side.

0:10:56.016,0:10:58.933
And I'm going to start them

0:10:58.933,0:11:00.816
right behind the ear.

0:11:04.750,0:11:07.466
If the hair is quite short,

0:11:07.466,0:11:08.935
just like here,

0:11:08.935,0:11:12.484
start the braid as high as possible.

0:11:17.464,0:11:19.276
Here we go.

0:11:59.691,0:12:02.626
So here I chose to make

0:12:03.158,0:12:06.477
a classic 3-strands braid

0:12:07.211,0:12:10.360
but you can do any braid you like:

0:12:11.993,0:12:17.260
rope braid, fishtail braid...

0:12:27.613,0:12:31.081
Maybe a rope braid would give you

0:12:31.081,0:12:33.664
a bit more length.

0:12:45.866,0:12:50.220
Alright, now I'm going to

0:12:50.220,0:12:53.015
clip it on the top of the head.

0:13:01.148,0:13:02.681
Here we go.

0:13:07.169,0:13:11.403
Now I can make it a bit fluffy.

0:13:16.050,0:13:18.377
And I'm going to do the same

0:13:22.215,0:13:24.266
on the other side.

0:13:34.513,0:13:35.946
So one...

0:13:41.494,0:13:43.011
Two...

0:13:45.552,0:13:48.385
And three strands.

0:14:00.319,0:14:05.253
Starting the braid as high as I can.

0:14:31.808,0:14:35.958
And same I'm going to clip it

0:14:38.538,0:14:40.885
on the top of the head.

0:14:50.388,0:14:53.822
And now I can adjust it

0:14:56.349,0:14:58.100
a little bit.

0:15:03.264,0:15:04.364
Alright.

0:15:06.348,0:15:08.314
Now if you have long

0:15:08.314,0:15:10.498
or very long hair

0:15:10.498,0:15:11.814
what you can do

0:15:11.814,0:15:17.000
is cross the braids together at the back

0:15:17.000,0:15:19.517
and then clip them on the top

0:15:19.517,0:15:20.927
so you would have

0:15:20.927,0:15:25.617
a full hair crown at the back.

0:15:27.713,0:15:30.462
But here I will keep it simple.

0:15:33.829,0:15:34.846
Alright.

0:15:34.846,0:15:37.212
And now we can have a bit of fun

0:15:37.655,0:15:40.154
I'm going to take my needle

0:15:41.904,0:15:44.471
and the ribbon.

0:15:55.391,0:15:59.092
Again make sure this is long enough,

0:16:01.661,0:16:04.062
you need at least...

0:16:04.822,0:16:07.589
I would say 2 meters,

0:16:07.589,0:16:10.039
7 feet.

0:16:16.670,0:16:20.752
And I'm going to start at the front,

0:16:20.912,0:16:23.279
at the base of the braid.

0:16:38.124,0:16:40.774
If the braids are crossed

0:16:40.774,0:16:45.276
you can start directly into the braids here

0:16:45.276,0:16:48.092
at the back of the neck.

0:16:49.252,0:16:52.854
Now I'm going to pull my ribbon,

0:16:58.148,0:17:01.166
leaving a bit of length.

0:17:05.912,0:17:09.097
So I can wrap it around the head.

0:17:10.119,0:17:11.403
Looks good.

0:17:14.369,0:17:21.320
And now I'm going to stitch the ribbon

0:17:24.110,0:17:26.382
around the braid.

0:17:29.224,0:17:33.278
Making sure I'm going along the scalp

0:17:33.278,0:17:35.077
with my needle.

0:17:36.797,0:17:40.364
Or else it won't hold very long.

0:17:56.013,0:17:57.587
Alright.

0:18:01.306,0:18:02.888
Let's keep going

0:18:02.888,0:18:09.507
and try to get my stitches as even possible.

0:18:49.504,0:18:50.821
Alright.

0:18:59.918,0:19:03.168
Now I can remove the first clip.

0:19:10.368,0:19:13.020
And take a bit of the other plat

0:19:13.020,0:19:17.020
into the next stitch.

0:19:26.654,0:19:29.004
As you can see it is quite easy to do

0:19:29.004,0:19:30.771
on someone's head.

0:19:33.118,0:19:38.185
But much more difficult on your own head,

0:19:39.970,0:19:42.586
and it requires a bit of practice.

0:19:45.811,0:19:49.144
Now I'm going to do the middle stitch.

0:20:20.967,0:20:26.134
And here, to secure the 2 plats

0:20:26.454,0:20:29.088
I'm going to make a back stitch

0:20:29.088,0:20:31.805
so we will have a little cross

0:20:31.805,0:20:34.138
on the top of the head.

0:20:37.679,0:20:38.945
Here we go.

0:21:11.485,0:21:13.818
And I will keep stitching

0:21:13.818,0:21:16.701
down to the other side

0:21:17.265,0:21:22.317
always starting on the front

0:21:22.317,0:21:26.099
and pulling at the back.

0:21:31.868,0:21:34.601
I can remove my second clip.

0:22:19.665,0:22:21.983
Alright, one last.

0:22:27.747,0:22:30.164
At the base of the plat.

0:22:47.803,0:22:50.660
Maybe I should have ironed

0:22:50.660,0:22:52.490
my ribbon first.

0:22:56.498,0:22:59.316
We don't want it to be twisted.

0:23:21.925,0:23:28.609
Alright, so now we have 2 remaining ribbons

0:23:28.966,0:23:30.249
and what I'm going to do is

0:23:30.249,0:23:34.517
to wrap them around the head.

0:23:36.591,0:23:39.243
And then you can tie them

0:23:39.243,0:23:41.325
on the top of the head

0:23:41.325,0:23:44.558
or depending on the length,

0:23:44.850,0:23:46.315
at the back.

0:23:46.315,0:23:48.549
Just as you like it.

0:24:01.155,0:24:05.054
It will secure the whole hairstyle

0:24:05.054,0:24:07.437
especially with short hair.

0:24:18.228,0:24:21.796
Let's tuck the ends

0:24:21.796,0:24:24.079
under the ribbon.

0:24:34.450,0:24:36.701
And that's it.

0:24:37.364,0:24:41.016
Depending on the era, the country,

0:24:41.256,0:24:42.954
the social class,

0:24:42.954,0:24:45.355
some ladies would then put

0:24:45.355,0:24:47.205
a coif on their head.

0:24:47.618,0:24:50.836
But I think this is a lovely hairstyle

0:24:50.836,0:24:53.687
that doesn't really need to be hidden.

0:24:56.649,0:24:59.484
I hope you enjoyed this video

0:24:59.484,0:25:03.218
and as always

0:25:03.218,0:25:06.952
I wish you a very good night.
