How to Use Beads in Your Hair and Braids

[@itsyagirlindica3505]

Here is a tip from a pro bead wearer. Fold the bottom part of your hair in half (the whispy part that isnt braided) and it will be easier to feed to bead through the rest of your hair.

[@huntersihelp]

is it weird for a dude to use hair beads? I have long hair and I always want to do these viking styles and use beads but I am too afraid to actually go through with it.

[@oxx6]

Net_Chix_AnKill? Nah. Just do what make you happy man

[@gjigaqaquj]

Social norms are technically nonexistent. They only exist in the minds of others, do what makes you happy.

[@isbicror]

Never. No. Use 'em man.

[@Xaforn]

Net_Chix_AnKill? Not at all, if I go to amazon and type in beard beads they have amazing ones for guys, even my bff liked them and he’s not a jewelry guy

[@emperorpalpatine3575]

Net_Chix_AnKill? Hey use them in my beard everyday nothing wrong with it sadly I can't do my hair I went bald like that serious bald so I go clean shave head but just go for it you will mainly get good comments trust me............DEW IT

[@shywiz1543]

It is not weird at all for a man or woman to use hair beads. Styling hair & dressing it up in different ways are a beautiful way for people to express themselves & their personalities. Most people can see that as “lame” but I think expressing yourself creatively through finding small hobbies such as these is a beautiful thing.

[@corlaineymoore8004]

I love your hair tutorials. My hair is shoulder length and I would love it if you made a video with beginner styles for shorter hair. I've seen a few on your channel and they came out super amazing. I would love to learn more styles. Also I really enjoy how many of the styles are fantasy and tv inspired. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@insanedayeol]

Your explanation makes so much more sense than the others I’ve seen online, I’ve been holding on to rune beads for 4 years not knowing what to do with them

[@RoxyRocksTV]

THEY ARE SUPER PRETTY!

[@silvousplaits]

right?! I'm obsessed

[@marybowling27126]

Back in the day we used foil. Just foil from the kitchen will keep beads on.

[@Sk0lzky]

I use pliers or even fingers. Squeezing a tiny bit makes it super easy. But just using really tight ones is more than enough, you can slip it on a thick strand of hair by using a floss trick (wrapping the strand with a floss and holding it in mouth or one hand - if you can slip it on with only one, will keep all the hair close together. Then you just pull the floss through and voila, bead's secure)

[@anastasiahartman7912]

i shove the beads up til they are stuck ... it’s horrible for my hair probably but it works. been doing it for years my hair is already damaged i can’t tell a difference.

[@lucyDurand2451]

Oh I did this as a kid when me n my sisters did braids 😂

[@georgejohnston9483]

I recently bought a huge set of Viking hair beads and this was extremely helpful because my sisters either brand my hair for me because I didn't grow up doing it but none of them beaded their hair so this was extremely helpful thank you 😃

[@dkirov]

I just went onto Etsy and bought hair beads... and then fell down the rabbit hole and bought hair ribbons, hair barrettes, and a hair stick. Oh no! >.

[@silvousplaits]

hello welcome to the rabbit hole with me

[@Erudessa22]

If you don't have the wire, just use a tiny bit of floss. Or a (clean) floss threader, if you had/have braces.

[@alauragrace5314]

My suggestions are Padme's hair during the lake scene, or any Clone Wars hair tutorial. These beads look so pretty!

[@emperorpalpatine3575]

Alaura Grace Goooood................good

[@InaradieEhrfuerchtige]

Where can I get these pins to push in so that there is no space that the beads can slide? I only find the beads on amazon and co

[@maryhairy1]

I’ve fallen in love with beads in my hair. I’m waiting on an order to enhance my hair even more.

[@Moocow2003]

Thank you for this tutorial!! I'm actually styling a wig for a character with hair beads and the way I was doing it before was soooo slow. This looks so easy I might even start wearing beads in my own hair :)

[@TheSpoegefugl]

I am sad to say that both Widdershins Hair Beads, as well as Dwarvendom, are temporarily closed at the moment. Does anyone have a recommendation for other places to buy hair beads? Personally, I would love if they also came with those bead pins to lock it in place

[@elliedrum7304]

I just use regular beads, like beads you would make bracelets with, it works just fine for me

[@lenanana8]

I found an etsy shop called MountainDreads, they do dreadlock beads of different colours. I was worried as I don't have dreads but I think it might work nicely for braids.

[@Wintersmith.]

Thank you! I was actually wondering how on earth do beads don't slide from hair. But now I know there's a tiny in there too! thank you

[@kiratheusagiisworkshop5266]

Oh I always did wonder how those beads would stay in place! So cool!

[@rlewis36]

Rad! I hope they still sell these!

[@driskoll2658]

I have a brass beard bead. I can't remember where I got it from, but it has 4 Mjolnir's on it. Sometimes I braid it into my hair using a bobby pin, like threading a needle. I'll put the bobby pin around the hair and then pull it through the bead. Not the best way, but it works.

[@silvousplaits]

That's pretty much how the wire in this video works!

[@driskoll2658]

Not as effective though, because the bobby pin is so wide.

[@jiroalibolio7251]

No one: Not even a single soul: Me: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN HAIR!!!

[@audreayarose3755]

I saw a video about this a while ago, got some beads and forgot how to style again 😂 I need one of those pins those look magical

[@technonine7586]

Ahh etsy, the place where sending costs to europe will always be more than the product costs :+

[@marisophi]

cool! im thinking of making some clay hair beads and hope those work!

[@Anna-fw7lm]

Instead of elastic bands I use a cotton thread to sew the hair at the end of a braid, and I put the beads on while I braid them (inside the braid itself) or on top of the braid, securing them with a couple of stitches.

[@TheDivera]

I would like to see that on video. Never did it before and don't know how to do it.

[@synergy-vd7dm]

What type/size of thread and what type/size of needle do you use? And what type of stitch? Would love your insight!

[@Anna-fw7lm]

@@synergy-vd7dm Cotton thread and small needle from my sewing kit. I make a small braid, put a bead through one of the three strands, keep braiding (you can add beads where you want and how many you want. they're not gonna be centered but they're not gonna slide or fall off neither). When I get to the end I use a cotton thread, I tie the two ends of the thread together and I make a slipknot to use it where I want my braid to end, then I circle the end of the braid quite tightly (making that part about 1 cm long (0.3 inch) and then I push the needle between the strands of hair and threads, randomly. It's almost like making a summer bracelet and then sew in between it. When it becomes hard to 'sew' it's time to cut the rest of the thread unevenly (I keep the longest part in the needle) saw another time (if you knot without this passage, the knot is gonna slip away through the hair at one point) and then make a knot with the two ends, and cut them short. It's very efficient, it stays for long and almost disappear if you use the same color of your hair. With silk it's gonna be even better and more resistant. You don't need a thick thread for it. The type of stitch? Just stab the 'bracelet' portion in and out of the other side, as randomly as possible without making a mess (and keeping it tight....not to the point of crushing the hair XD) The best part is that, when wet and full of conditioning, hair are gonna get slippery but the wet thread is gonna swell like a garrote, so it's not gonna get loose, even if you try to pull it down (don't ). I use a thread cutter to free the braid. It's simpler to do than to explain. It's the most unprofessional thing ever XD but it works and it looks good. One time I added at the top of the braid a little loop with a fine chain necklace attached, then included it to the thinniest strand of hair and just braided it. I locked the hair at the bottom and I was very satisfied with the result. I had it behind my left ear for weeks and very few noticed because it showed only when I was puttin up my hair.

[@amandaquezada2854]

Dang, this tutorial was a lot more helpful than the other one I just watched! Thank you so much!

[@paulthechebend]

I have no idea where to get those pins to keep the bead in. Any suggestions? Mine just won't stay in using elastic bands alone.

[@troyjohnson2395]

Well, I am betting that they are probably in the mentioned Etsy shop.

[@umami6462]

i'm in love with the thumbnail hair, i need a tutorial 😭😭

[@silviagonzalez3613]

You look like Macy from teen mom OG. Love the tutorial. 😊

[@TheBaldingFish]

licking the tips of your hair is so smart.

[@aphrospice]

A link to the shop in description would be helpful.

[@silvousplaits]

There is one... "Check them out at WiddershinsHairBeads.etsy.com"

[@Passer7by]

Do you have to braid hair to use beads?

[@jubilee3d]

I've been wondering how to accomplish this. thank you so much!!!

[@livi_bridge]

heyy! I was wondering, how you did the 100 hair style in the picture, how it looks like you wrapped braided hair around loose hair that looks ssooo awesome, and I really want to know how to do it to my hair ):

[@silvousplaits]

It's just a combo braid (three strand braid, but two of the strands are smaller braids).

[@Annairea]

Thank you for the tutorial! I was wondering what video the look at 0:17 is from? I've been looking everywhere for it! lol

[@Rebfancy]

Did you ever find the tutorial for that braid? I’d love to do it, but can’t find a tutorial.

[@Annairea]

@@Rebfancy it turns out it wasn’t a video, but there’s another picture on her Instagram. Each “braid” is a strand of loose hair and two small three-strand braids. Apply beads as you like, and then wrap the braids around each strand, twisting once before wrapping again. There’s a better picture here, as well as an angle of the rest of the style: instagram.com/p/71YXQQupqM/? which has two of those wrap braids on the right side of the head, overlapping fishtail braids, half loose, and a normal detail braid on the left side.

[@sakura2hime]

I so love your videos you so do one on how to tie your hair without a hair tie or braids with a touch of your own style would be interesting

[@silvousplaits]

+sakura2hime I have a video on securing braids without hair ties! Look for it in my "hair tricks and tips" playlist.

[@sakura2hime]

Silvousplaits oh thank you I haven't had a change to go through all of it yet but I'll be looking forward to it

[@angyemm5925]

just ordered some beads to add some dwarfish details on my hair cause I plan to rule Erebor some day😏😏😏

[@ruethedaycarly]

Do you wash your hair with them on or do you take them off everytime?

[@emilyferrier2519]

Where do you get the hair pins/tools from to keep the beads in??

[@silvousplaits]

The Etsy shop I get most of my beads from, Dwarvendom, includes the pins with their beads.

[@TheWickedVampire]

Do you have a tutorial for your hair at: 0.14 ? It's so beautiful

[@hollihayes5170]

really wish you had tutorials for the styles you show in the first few seconds of the video.

[@silvousplaits]

Lots of people have said that to me. Guess I'll just have to do a video one day soon!

[@abbyrose1868]

I got inspired and bought some beads after binging your videos 😀

[@Zeldafan355]

Did you ever do a video for the style at 0:54? I really like the look of that one.

[@silvousplaits]

I did, a long time ago haha. It's a pretty awful tutorial by today's standards but it exists: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKGvYXagmdyXl9k

[@Zeldafan355]

Thank you! I'll have to give it a shot. And yeah, your tutorial abilities have come a long way.

[@Whitetomato27]

I am SO glad to have found your channel! 🙏

[@freyjagrey8689]

They have really cute designs but their pricing is a bit far fetched for my country. It's $12 minimum for a single bead kit. The kit of 5 costs nearly $60. :(

[@emperorpalpatine3575]

Freyja Grey the Prices are strong with this one

[@jennyreyes2511]

Go to an african american shop they sell cute ones i got a pack of 100 silver ones today for $1.50. They also had packs of 50 beads with little hanging crystals also for 1.50

[@patrickmcdermott9828]

Im a guy and don't know how to braid my hair but would it be possible to wear the beads without braiding the hair?

[@lozzylols]

I sooo need to order some of these!

[@Xaforn]

Would a thin crochet needle be able to slide beads onto fine hair or micro braids ?

[@silvousplaits]

If you can fit it through the hole in the bead, and also fit all the hair strand on the hook

[@karinesmith6510]

loved that video ;thank you so much

[@lourdesnayi6236]

[@crowlovescore]

Erm. So you need hairbeads to win some hairbeads? :P

[@silvousplaits]

+Ares I know it sounds silly when framed like that. But the reason is twofold - garner interest for this bead shop, and I want to send beads to people I know will really use them :) you don't need hair heads specifically for this, you can get creative with non-hair materials to get the head hair look. I used to do that all the time before I had lots of hair heads, like I've tied buttons to hair, used hoop earrings, etc.

[@silvousplaits]

[@redcat4323]

Hey hun , i’m irish , i know i’m six years late but hair beads and braids have been part of my culture for as long as i can remember, it’s completely fine to use them in these styles aslong as you’re not doing african hair styles :)
