TT Does It All shows how to do a leave-out sew-in for hot weather using two braids instead of curls. She flat-irons the natural hair to match the extensions, then demonstrates an edge-control product that the skeptical client says holds up even in scorching heat.

Hey everyone, it's your girl TT Does It All, and this video will be of a leave-out sew-in. This is what I would call my SSS, Sexy Signature Swoop sew-in, except we're not gonna do the swoop and curls. We're going to do her a couple of braids so she can get through this heat. And this is the outcome of what we will be doing. She did use her own leave-out and her own extensions. So this is the before and what we're going to work with. And first, I do section out my leave-out. And you all, this is a start to finish and a video on my favorite current edge control. As far as the tutorial to show how I'm sectioning everything off, how I braid everything, I will drop the links to those videos in the description below. But I'm going to show you all a couple pictures of what I love, which is my SSS, and I will drop some videos of those in the— in, in here. So randomly you'll see my SSS pop up in the corner. I do my anchor braids, which I do describe and show in my tutorial videos, but for this one I am just, um, going to go ahead and record through me braiding and sewing. And then I'm going to open up a little bit of the conversation between my client and I about her disbelief in this edge control, okay? Cuz she's like, honey, Show me that. Oh, these are my anchor braids. Beautiful, really tiny and neat. And right now I have wedding nails on, and I could not get these braids this tiny and neat. So if you are interested in doing hair and doing it nice tight— not physically tight, but visibly tight, like to her scalp— I would recommend no nails for this one, okay? Because it takes me forever to braid with my nails. Not forever, they're just not as tight. So I prefer without, like I don't have in this video. So I'm going to fast forward a little bit, play y'all a little bit of music while I get through this, because again, I do have tutorials on how to braid, sew on the net, measure your leave out, everything. So we're going to get past this part and then I will come back with my little commentary. So right now what we're going to start doing is just flat ironing her leave out. And I do this because even though we're leaving her leave out super curly, I do not want to have her actual leave-out to be a different texture. So this texture is still smooth and silky, which we have to make her hair, but then we have to blend it in with the wave pattern of the weave. So I was just kind of asking my client, which I always do, how do you want it? Do you want it styled? Do you want it in its natural state? Do you want it straight? And she wanted something that she could get in this car she's about to get into, and it's someone else's car, and it's just a, a different situation. So just listen up and you'll hear what's going on. Did you relax your hair? Just a hat. Oh no, I was trying to— burnt. I barely had it on there. Your hair's kind of burnt. You don't like it? I love it. I was going to ask you, I've seen that. Okay, what's the name of that? The pink— I've seen it like a pink edge booster. It seems like no edge control really works, but I'll see what this do. Yeah, I like it. If you tie your hair down, it'll still be good tomorrow. Really? It won't. It'll lay down for a minute and then it just gonna creep on back. Like, for real? Just play me? That's why I never even buy it, because it don't work. Yeah, this stuff works. I'm sorry, I got you. I mean, it is supposed to be a finished product, but it's just like, I know this finna just melt like Oh Lord, you got to use a whole lot of product. It ain't going to help, especially this crisp ain't going nowhere. Oh, it pumping up is good, but I'm saying, you just don't realize how hot this is. Interior black, everything. I might just send you a picture for humor. Yes. This don't last. Praying over it right now. Don't do it, let me waste my prayer. I'll brush your brow on that one. No water on the ends or nothing? I mean, you know what you could do for him? It just put a braid in or something. Yep, just braid it back. I spin a fly. I guess I had a window down. I can't cook in there. Braid it and put a little rubber band on. I know that sound like— but it's going to stay. You said it's going to braid it in like a little style. You probably ain't going to want to take it now. This is how I braid my sew-ins when I ain't feeling like curling it, styling it, nothing. Yep, I think I'm going to leave it just like this, see how long I can get away with it. This my go-to style when I have my sew-in up and I'm just like, listen, I'm not about to straighten, curl, twist, nothing. Put me my two braids in and I'm out the door. You'll stay where you can, uh, I don't know how to— I need to— I can braid, but I guess my braid needs to be improved, cuz I'm just wondering, like, when I braid, I, I can't see how to do it with a track though. Uh, you braid right on the track, is it what it is? I'm just kind of free braiding Just picking up the hair, leaving the bottom down, just picking up whatever's on top. So that means I'm not pushing my fingers all the way through when I grab. He like, whatever, just— it's so simple, you do this all day long. So it's so hot, we should keep the hair out my face. Have mercy. That look kind of too high. We might get a present. I might just fix this later. I don't know how long I'm be driving. Okay, I don't know how long Matthew driving, so That hurt? Mm-mm. Oh, my stomach went off. It might have been mine. I thought that was yours that time. Oh yeah, I like that. Go the other way. So she did text me and let me know that she loved her hair. And this was in August, so it was scorching hot outside. But I do have a link to this edge control in the description if you all want to purchase it on your own. So, um, drop a comment, let me know what you all think. Have you tried this edge control? Do you like it? As you see, it's lasting for her. Um, but yeah, let me know.
