00:01:00.291 --> 00:01:02.171
Good evening,

00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.625
and welcome back on the channel!

00:01:07.092 --> 00:01:11.494
I hope you're all having a lovely year so far.

00:01:14.128 --> 00:01:20.695
I wanted to start 2023 with a new hairstyle video.

00:01:21.328 --> 00:01:23.728
And this time I will show you

00:01:23.728 --> 00:01:27.446
a Renaissance inspired hairstyle

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:29.679
that we could see during

00:01:29.679 --> 00:01:33.848
the 16th century in Europe

00:01:33.848 --> 00:01:39.731
and that involves hair lacing / hair taping.

00:01:41.432 --> 00:01:43.799
It is quite simple.

00:01:45.128 --> 00:01:49.613
So I picked one of my 2 doll heads

00:01:50.063 --> 00:01:53.130
the one that has the longest hair.

00:01:54.702 --> 00:01:57.502
It is a quite tricky hairstyle

00:01:57.502 --> 00:02:01.136
to do on short or curly hair

00:02:01.136 --> 00:02:04.203
so if you have shorter hair than this

00:02:04.203 --> 00:02:07.969
you may want to add extensions.

00:02:09.871 --> 00:02:13.104
Here it's barely long enough

00:02:13.104 --> 00:02:15.621
but it should be OK.

00:02:20.288 --> 00:02:23.856
So let's have a look at what we will need.

00:02:25.206 --> 00:02:29.791
So of course a comb and a brush

00:02:29.791 --> 00:02:33.108
to get smooth hair before we begin.

00:02:39.275 --> 00:02:42.892
A few hair clips,

00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.659
very basic.

00:02:48.427 --> 00:02:51.412
Just to hold the braids

00:02:51.412 --> 00:02:55.195
before we start stitching.

00:03:00.245 --> 00:03:03.063
Of course you're going to need a ribbon.

00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:08.765
You can choose any ribbon youd like.

00:03:12.168 --> 00:03:16.801
Just make sure it's long and strong enough.

00:03:18.119 --> 00:03:22.318
So cotton or satin would be just fine.

00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:34.870
Try to avoid silky and thin ribbons like this

00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:37.422
it's not strong enough

00:03:37.422 --> 00:03:40.405
and it would slip on the hair.

00:03:42.755 --> 00:03:47.322
Since we have blond hair here,

00:03:47.322 --> 00:03:52.007
I don't want a color that would be too light.

00:03:52.273 --> 00:03:57.201
So black, blue or red would be pretty.

00:04:08.903 --> 00:04:12.252
And you will also need a needle.

00:04:13.386 --> 00:04:16.420
Of course you don't want it to be sharp

00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:19.805
here is a very blunt one.

00:04:30.896 --> 00:04:34.420
So now it is time to detangle the hair

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:36.587
before I start the hairstyling.

00:04:37.301 --> 00:04:39.135
And if you're doing this

00:04:39.135 --> 00:04:41.419
one someone else's head

00:04:41.419 --> 00:04:45.285
which will be much easier actually,

00:04:45.285 --> 00:04:48.369
you can also do a scalp massage.

00:05:19.074 --> 00:05:21.408
It's not really tangled.

00:06:33.447 --> 00:06:34.597
Alright,

00:06:34.597 --> 00:06:38.115
I think I can use the comb directly.

00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:13.187
There is a tiny knot here.

00:07:20.294 --> 00:07:21.707
Good.

00:09:26.616 --> 00:09:28.466
Alright.

00:09:35.869 --> 00:09:37.886
It looks fine.

00:09:53.249 --> 00:09:56.401
Alright, perfect.

00:09:58.018 --> 00:10:02.436
Now I'm going to simply part the hair

00:10:02.436 --> 00:10:04.352
right at the center,

00:10:04.352 --> 00:10:06.385
on the top of the head.

00:10:24.328 --> 00:10:27.878
And I'm going to do the same

00:10:28.378 --> 00:10:30.061
at the back.

00:10:41.229 --> 00:10:42.963
Alright.

00:10:46.763 --> 00:10:49.798
And now I'm going to make

00:10:49.798 --> 00:10:52.047
very classic braids,

00:10:52.047 --> 00:10:54.316
one on each side.

00:10:56.016 --> 00:10:58.933
And I'm going to start them

00:10:58.933 --> 00:11:00.816
right behind the ear.

00:11:04.750 --> 00:11:07.466
If the hair is quite short,

00:11:07.466 --> 00:11:08.935
just like here,

00:11:08.935 --> 00:11:12.484
start the braid as high as possible.

00:11:17.464 --> 00:11:19.276
Here we go.

00:11:59.691 --> 00:12:02.626
So here I chose to make

00:12:03.158 --> 00:12:06.477
a classic 3-strands braid

00:12:07.211 --> 00:12:10.360
but you can do any braid you like:

00:12:11.993 --> 00:12:17.260
rope braid, fishtail braid...

00:12:27.613 --> 00:12:31.081
Maybe a rope braid would give you

00:12:31.081 --> 00:12:33.664
a bit more length.

00:12:45.866 --> 00:12:50.220
Alright, now I'm going to

00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:53.015
clip it on the top of the head.

00:13:01.148 --> 00:13:02.681
Here we go.

00:13:07.169 --> 00:13:11.403
Now I can make it a bit fluffy.

00:13:16.050 --> 00:13:18.377
And I'm going to do the same

00:13:22.215 --> 00:13:24.266
on the other side.

00:13:34.513 --> 00:13:35.946
So one...

00:13:41.494 --> 00:13:43.011
Two...

00:13:45.552 --> 00:13:48.385
And three strands.

00:14:00.319 --> 00:14:05.253
Starting the braid as high as I can.

00:14:31.808 --> 00:14:35.958
And same I'm going to clip it

00:14:38.538 --> 00:14:40.885
on the top of the head.

00:14:50.388 --> 00:14:53.822
And now I can adjust it

00:14:56.349 --> 00:14:58.100
a little bit.

00:15:03.264 --> 00:15:04.364
Alright.

00:15:06.348 --> 00:15:08.314
Now if you have long

00:15:08.314 --> 00:15:10.498
or very long hair

00:15:10.498 --> 00:15:11.814
what you can do

00:15:11.814 --> 00:15:17.000
is cross the braids together at the back

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.517
and then clip them on the top

00:15:19.517 --> 00:15:20.927
so you would have

00:15:20.927 --> 00:15:25.617
a full hair crown at the back.

00:15:27.713 --> 00:15:30.462
But here I will keep it simple.

00:15:33.829 --> 00:15:34.846
Alright.

00:15:34.846 --> 00:15:37.212
And now we can have a bit of fun

00:15:37.655 --> 00:15:40.154
I'm going to take my needle

00:15:41.904 --> 00:15:44.471
and the ribbon.

00:15:55.391 --> 00:15:59.092
Again make sure this is long enough,

00:16:01.661 --> 00:16:04.062
you need at least...

00:16:04.822 --> 00:16:07.589
I would say 2 meters,

00:16:07.589 --> 00:16:10.039
7 feet.

00:16:16.670 --> 00:16:20.752
And I'm going to start at the front,

00:16:20.912 --> 00:16:23.279
at the base of the braid.

00:16:38.124 --> 00:16:40.774
If the braids are crossed

00:16:40.774 --> 00:16:45.276
you can start directly into the braids here

00:16:45.276 --> 00:16:48.092
at the back of the neck.

00:16:49.252 --> 00:16:52.854
Now I'm going to pull my ribbon,

00:16:58.148 --> 00:17:01.166
leaving a bit of length.

00:17:05.912 --> 00:17:09.097
So I can wrap it around the head.

00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.403
Looks good.

00:17:14.369 --> 00:17:21.320
And now I'm going to stitch the ribbon

00:17:24.110 --> 00:17:26.382
around the braid.

00:17:29.224 --> 00:17:33.278
Making sure I'm going along the scalp

00:17:33.278 --> 00:17:35.077
with my needle.

00:17:36.797 --> 00:17:40.364
Or else it won't hold very long.

00:17:56.013 --> 00:17:57.587
Alright.

00:18:01.306 --> 00:18:02.888
Let's keep going

00:18:02.888 --> 00:18:09.507
and try to get my stitches as even possible.

00:18:49.504 --> 00:18:50.821
Alright.

00:18:59.918 --> 00:19:03.168
Now I can remove the first clip.

00:19:10.368 --> 00:19:13.020
And take a bit of the other plat

00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:17.020
into the next stitch.

00:19:26.654 --> 00:19:29.004
As you can see it is quite easy to do

00:19:29.004 --> 00:19:30.771
on someone's head.

00:19:33.118 --> 00:19:38.185
But much more difficult on your own head,

00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:42.586
and it requires a bit of practice.

00:19:45.811 --> 00:19:49.144
Now I'm going to do the middle stitch.

00:20:20.967 --> 00:20:26.134
And here, to secure the 2 plats

00:20:26.454 --> 00:20:29.088
I'm going to make a back stitch

00:20:29.088 --> 00:20:31.805
so we will have a little cross

00:20:31.805 --> 00:20:34.138
on the top of the head.

00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:38.945
Here we go.

00:21:11.485 --> 00:21:13.818
And I will keep stitching

00:21:13.818 --> 00:21:16.701
down to the other side

00:21:17.265 --> 00:21:22.317
always starting on the front

00:21:22.317 --> 00:21:26.099
and pulling at the back.

00:21:31.868 --> 00:21:34.601
I can remove my second clip.

00:22:19.665 --> 00:22:21.983
Alright, one last.

00:22:27.747 --> 00:22:30.164
At the base of the plat.

00:22:47.803 --> 00:22:50.660
Maybe I should have ironed

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:52.490
my ribbon first.

00:22:56.498 --> 00:22:59.316
We don't want it to be twisted.

00:23:21.925 --> 00:23:28.609
Alright, so now we have 2 remaining ribbons

00:23:28.966 --> 00:23:30.249
and what I'm going to do is

00:23:30.249 --> 00:23:34.517
to wrap them around the head.

00:23:36.591 --> 00:23:39.243
And then you can tie them

00:23:39.243 --> 00:23:41.325
on the top of the head

00:23:41.325 --> 00:23:44.558
or depending on the length,

00:23:44.850 --> 00:23:46.315
at the back.

00:23:46.315 --> 00:23:48.549
Just as you like it.

00:24:01.155 --> 00:24:05.054
It will secure the whole hairstyle

00:24:05.054 --> 00:24:07.437
especially with short hair.

00:24:18.228 --> 00:24:21.796
Let's tuck the ends

00:24:21.796 --> 00:24:24.079
under the ribbon.

00:24:34.450 --> 00:24:36.701
And that's it.

00:24:37.364 --> 00:24:41.016
Depending on the era, the country,

00:24:41.256 --> 00:24:42.954
the social class,

00:24:42.954 --> 00:24:45.355
some ladies would then put

00:24:45.355 --> 00:24:47.205
a coif on their head.

00:24:47.618 --> 00:24:50.836
But I think this is a lovely hairstyle

00:24:50.836 --> 00:24:53.687
that doesn't really need to be hidden.

00:24:56.649 --> 00:24:59.484
I hope you enjoyed this video

00:24:59.484 --> 00:25:03.218
and as always

00:25:03.218 --> 00:25:06.952
I wish you a very good night.
