Whether it is a lazy person going out quickly, a date with a scheming style, or a mother braiding her baby's hair, it can easily do it.
Preparation
Tools and materials
Silicone hair beads (choose a color close to or contrasting with the hair color, and choose the size according to needs, such as small beads for fine hair and large beads for thick hair).
Hair comb, hair band (optional), hairpin (for fixing broken hair).
Spray bottle (filled with clean water, used to wet hair for easy operation).
Hair condition
Make sure the hair is clean and knot-free, and slightly moist (spray a small amount of water mist) to make it easier to insert the hair beads.
Basic usage steps
Partitioning and braiding (example: fishbone braid + hair beads)
Step 1: Divide the hair into two strands (or divide it according to the regular braiding method).
Step 2: Take a small bunch of hair from each strand and cross-weave them. After each cross, insert a silicone hair bead into the cross (use your fingers or hairpins to help support the hair bead hole).
Step 3: Continue braiding and repeatedly insert the hair beads until you reach the ideal length or cover all the hair.
Hair up and embellishment (example: low ponytail + hair bead decoration)
Step 1: Tie your hair into a low ponytail and fold the hair tail up into a bun.
Step 2: After fixing the bun with a hairpin, insert the silicone hair beads into the broken hair at the edge of the bun to create a fluffy feeling.
Step 3: If you need to fix the bun, you can use the hair beads as an "invisible hair band" at the base of the bun instead of a traditional hair band.
Advanced Techniques
Create Fluffy Feel
Before braiding or bunting, use a curling iron to slightly curl the ends of your hair, and then insert the hair beads to make your hairstyle more three-dimensional.
After inserting the hair beads, gently pull the hair with your fingers to make the hair around the hair beads looser and more natural.
Creative Combinations
Mixed Colors: Use transparent hair beads + colored hair beads alternately to create a gradient effect.
Combined Accessories: Insert metal chains, pearls and other small accessories between the hair beads to enhance the styling.
Precautions
Avoid pulling your hair
Be gentle when inserting hair beads, especially for fine and soft hair, to avoid excessive pulling and breakage.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Silicone hair beads can be washed with warm water + neutral shampoo, and stored after drying to avoid exposure to the sun or high temperature.
Safety Tips
When children use it, parents need to assist to prevent accidental swallowing or entanglement in the hair.
