Hello guys welcome back to my channel if you're new to my channel hi. Thank you so much for stopping by. Please don't forget to click subscribe button before you leave in today's video. I'M going to be showing you guys how i made this updo natural hairstyle. Usually, i don't do a voiceover for my videos, because i just go straight to the point, but i wanted to do a voiceover for this video for different purpose or different reasons. First off i'm going to start by spraying my hair with a bit of water, not soaking, my hair with water just spraying it so i'm able to function with the hair. And now i'm going to make a section in front like just try to part a front section. Whenever i do my updos, i like making um parts in front where i can walk with after i'm done with the rest of my hair, when i'm done with that, i'm just going to twist that and set that aside. Now i'm going to start working with my the rest of my hair, so i'm going to make a ponytail with the sides with the hair on the sides of my head. I hope i'm able to explain this, so you guys can understand, but you can see what i'm doing i like to take hair from the sides of my face and pull it upwards, because that just gives my face a lift and it gives that new hairstyle vibe Vibe, l vibe and now i'm just going to start um braiding my hair upwards. So the thing with this braid that i did, i honestly don't know how it worked out on my first try. I sincerely do not know how it worked out. All i did was i had the sequence of how to braid in my head and then i decided to do that upwards. So i was initially going hoping to make it look like two hands if you're, nigerian, touham or dd, i hope yeah. I hope you guys know what that is, but i initially was going for the two-hand vibe and i wouldn't say i did bad honestly. It kind of gave the vibe, although it's not original, it was like you know the cousin brother of the two-hand five. I don't know what i'm talking about at this point, but what i did was, i would take a section of hair, put it in the middle, take the back hair and twist it over at the top. So i did not make this really fast, because i made i made it normal, so you guys can see what i'm doing so, i'm just taking the hair in three sections and twisting it around each other and taking hair from the sides and adding it into the Middle section - that's basically all i was doing for this in order to achieve this one braid vibe, and i think this was a really good style, like me, being able to pack all of my hair into one braid style. So i'm going to do that until i get to the top. If you cannot do this, you can also make a braid if you're good at braiding, your hair, you can make a braid or you can make a flat twist or you can section your hair in two and make flat twists two flat trees growing up, but i Just wanted a one one braid as a whole to pack up the hair um doing this hairstyle with my thick hair was a struggle, i wouldn't say a struggle necessarily, but if you have natural hair, you know the arm struggle, like. I think every person that styles, their natural hair by themselves, are supposed to have like free, biceps, biceps muscles, because at this point what i had to take breaks while doing this, because my hands hurt at some point. It'S not the smoothest or the easiest style to do, but if you have a, if you understand how the sequence works, then you'll be fine, so i'm just going to braid that up to the top and then i'm going to make a braid at the top. Just so it's you know, yeah now that i'm done braiding my hair, i have a section of hair left in the middle of the ponytail and the braid, i'm just going to twist that up the first style i imagined, in my mind, was to make twists in All in the remaining like with the remaining section of the hair, the front section and the ponytail, would i call this a ponytail or oxitel. I don't know guys like you know what i mean the hair from the two sides of my um face, i'm just going. I was twisting all of that and then i came to the front section, and i also twisted that, but when i finished twisting all of it it was not giving the vibe i wanted. It was not going or feeling how i really wanted. They were just looking very, not nice, so i decided to stop to just erase everything and start all over again. Now i'm taking the um strand of braid from the back of my hair and then i put it down and now i'm sort of like continuing the braid with the excess hair that was left behind the ponytail. So i'm continuing with the braid and twisting into the braiding into the ponytail and when i'm done with that, i'm going to use a bobby, pin and just pin that inside and lift that make sure it's set. And now i'm going to try to style. The remaining part of my hair in the front section i'm just going to style it. However, i'm trying different styles to see what suits my face shape. So you can also do the same. You can try different styles to see what suits your face shape and what works for you and what you feel more comfortable in and when you get to that, you just pin it down and you can try as much as possible to hide your pain. Sometimes i cannot hide my penis. I honestly do not care at some point but yeah. I tried different styles honestly, guys i cut off so many parts of me trying out different things with this front section but yeah. I just made sure i did something. I was comfortable in that i felt like i looked nice in and pin it up and then put my hair in a scarf and let that sit until i was you know sure, like my hair has been set when i was making this hairstyle guys. I fought so hard. I i told myself i had to find a hairstyle that i really liked that i was going to upload because usually, when i'm doing some of this hairstyle, that it's not coming out how i expected to come out, i would just give up. I would just stop recording for that day, but on this day i told myself i was going to find a hairstyle that i really like, regardless of all of this hairstyles not working out for me. So i think that just shows like if you decide and you put that dedication to you wanting to figure out something for yourself or figure out a style for your hair. That is going to definitely work out. So i finally came up with this idea where i just twisted the ends and then tucked the rest of the hair within itself, and this was what it was looking like. I was just making sure everything was set. Then i brushed out my edges and yeah. This is what it's looking like, i'm just going to tie it up in a scarf, so it's set. I like tying my hair up in a scarf because it just gives that new. Look when you take it out of the scarf. So i'm just going to tie that down, leave it for about five minutes and then i'm back to show you guys the final results. We don't talk about nothing, no more hello guys, so i've come to the end of this video. This is what my hair is. Looking like making this style was a struggle, though the way i envisioned this in my head, it didn't exactly come out how i wanted it to come out, but i still sort of you know found my way around the front section. The back was not so difficult to do. It was just like a braid honestly. How i would describe doing the back is imagine you're braiding your hair, just follow the sequence, that's what i did. I don't really know how to braid upwards. So, instead of worked out, if you cannot braid, you can do flat twist. That would also work as well but anyways. This is my hair. It'S a very nice, simple, updo, simple, easy, quick, five minutes sort of updo. If you don't want your natural hair out on your face on your body, this is the style, so i've come to the end of this video. I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
