Would you show it a bit slower, so I can understand and see how the thread is wrapping around, and there are two lime green strings separated, what were those for. I would love to see how it is finished and charms added:)
I used to do these as a kid and it a knot which created a little seam all the way down the wrap and i can not remember how i did it but mine stayed in forever and i cannot find anything like this in these videos
Hi Jo Jo, it won't let me add captions so here is transcription :) "Hi, I'm Bella. Today we are going to teach you how to make a hair wrap, just like this. What you'll be needing is really simple, you can either have some cotton, some wool, you can use pieces of fabric, whatever you choose. And basically just some scissors, (picks up scissors then gestures to yarn balls). These are some of the wools that we are using today, they are different widths, we have got some gold thread, and some lighter cotton as well as wool, and I recommend having 5-6 colors.That way it gives you enough pieces of wool to have enough variety and patterns to do. And basically you might want to have some charms, crystals, anything like that that you might want to put in the hair along the way. Okay we'll start. (scene change to standing holding yarn ball). Once you have chosen all your wools and fabrics that you're going to use, you want to cut them to be approximately 4 times the length of the hair wrap that you would like to do. Once you cut all the lengths of pieces that you'd like, join them together. (picks up and twists yarn) If you twist the pieces around together it will give you an idea of how thick your hair wrap will be. And you can either add in more or take out wool if you'd like it a bit thinner. Once you have that, we start like a shoelace and just tie it in a knot in the middle of those pieces. And leave room to slip it over the hair this way. (scene change to standing with model "Sammy") Okay what we're doing now is sectioning of a piece of hair. You can choose where you're going to place it on the hair. We're doing it here behind Sammy's ear. It is better to do it underneath other pieces of hair so as it does grow out, you don't see it. If we place it here then Sammy can either wrap her hair up with it or she can also leave it out when she puts her hair up. So we're just going to actually plait or braid this piece of hair. It just gives a little more grip for the wool and the cotton so that the hair wrap has a little bit more longevity. And once we braid that down, we start on the wrap. (scene change, close up). Place the knot over the braid and pull it up to wherever you'd like to start the wrap. Pull it nice and tight so it gets a grip on the braid and won't slip down. Grab out some base threads from the top and you want to secure these above and below the knot in the form of a figure eight to anchor the knot and the hair braid there. And then you can continue down, just wrapping it until it's an even width. Keep your threads sorted and nice and flat and that way your hair wrap will come out nice and neat. And just work your way down until you're ready to change colors. As you are here, just secure the first color with your finger at the back, as you pull out your new threads and wrap the new color around. You can choose to make whatever patterns you prefer, just use your own creativity and use the colors. You can add charms and feathers in as you go as well. As you get to the end, just tie the last one in a knot and it will be secured for you." (close up of wrap, yarns, Sammy and Bella outakes, video end).
