Hair Care Routine / How I Style My Hair

I have forgotten these in the shower and I want to show you what I use for my shampoo now. This is my favorite shampoo and conditioner. I'Ve been using this for years. I get mine online, I don't know if we can get it in any store. I used to be able to get this and my salon years ago that we could get my hair done, but anyway it is the Bain de terre passion, flower color, preserving shampoo conditioner, and there goes everything else on my desk because I'm so klutzy. This is what they look like: they come with a pump. This is my favorite, shampoo and conditioner. I use this every time I wash my hair. A great drugstore alternative is the Herbal Essences, the one that's for color-treated hair I'll put the late the name of it down below, because I can't think about off the top of my head. I don't have any oh here it is. I find that this is a great drugstore alternative to the shampoo and conditioner and a fun fact. This is the only other, shampoo and conditioner I will ever use when I'm all out of this and it hasn't gone in the mail. Yet I'm going to move it. This is the Herbal Essences color me happy, color, safe, shampoo and conditioner. This is really great. So if you don't want to spend the money on the Bandit air, you find it's just easier to pick it up, but you go go to drugstore. This is my recommendation. This is the only other, shampoo and conditioner I use. I will not use anything else, because I am really particular with my hair. I want my hair to be soft and I want to be bouncy and I wanted to have a lot of movement to it and a lot of shampoo and conditioners just either make my hair feel like they're fried or they're, just not they're, just not something. I I just don't use anything else. I'Ve learned my lesson, but this is what I use every single time I wash my hair like I said unless I ran out, and then I just use that in a pinch just to hold me over until this comes in the mail, so I've washed my hair And I had it in a little chirpy twist for about 20 minutes. I'D say I haven't brushed it. I haven't done anything to it, because I want you to see exactly what I do from the time it's dry to the time it's styled, so I don't use a lot of products because one of the things I was taught from my stepmoms sister is a hair. Stylist, so she told me that kind of like not use as many products as you think, the less products, the less you're here, it's going to be weighed down and get greasy and built and have that build up. So I use very few products to style. My hair from what to dry and I'll show I'll share them with you all today. The first thing I do is I take the if it's a 10 miracle leave-in product. This is a sample size. I got from Ulta the big size I ran out of so I'm another one, but it's not in yet, and I just kind of spray this throughout my hair, that's kind of what I do. It'S a leave-in conditioner, it's a heat, protectant, there's a ton of different uses for this, and I've used it for years. It'S just what I do and then what I do is I take my hairbrush, not the hairbrush I use when I have my hair when my hair is wet. Is this one? This is a tangle teezer. This is the only hairbrush I use for when my hair is wet, because when your hair is at this stage it's the most fragile state. So you don't want to use a brush. That'S going to rip your hair out because it will. It will tear your hair out. It will pretty much like break your hair off, so this is what I use and again, this is something I just bought on Amazon I think years ago, and I just take it it's really gentle it doesn't pull. My hair doesn't hurt it's the best like wet hair brush. Oh, my hair is on the mic: how fabulous okay brush my hair out - and now I use this. This is the Bain de terre color therapy, styling oil. What I do - and I just take like two pumps of that it's kind of like an argan oil type of thing - run it you know, push it around between my hands and then I go from the base of my neck down kind of just my ponytail. I don't bring this up in my roots. I don't need to do that. Don'T want to do that. I just do this to the ends just to keep them from looking fried and just keep them hydrated really, and then it's basically the only thing I put in my hair and now at this point, all I do is a blow-dry it and the blow-dryer I use Is so not a fancy one I've had it for like, I want to say, I've had it for 13 14 years and it's the Revlon professional styler is what it looks like. It'S so not fancy, but again I've had it for a really long time and it works really well, it gets really hot, so be careful and all I do is basically just blow-dry my hair until it's completely dry. Now there are days where I'll round brush my hair. Very rarely does that happen, because that's just too time-consuming my hand gets tired. I can't stand to do that, so I'm sharing with you what I've been doing for the past, I would say a year or so, when I style my hair and just to show you kind of how I wear my hair on an everyday basis that I get A lot of comments and questions on which is just no real style to it, just really full and like blue, I guess, but the first thing I do is I flip my head upside down and blow-dry half of my. You know half of half the time with my hair down. You know my head upside down and then I flip them back up and finished the entire first, the rest of the head, still, okay, so my hair is sorry. My mic is like you're. Moving around my hair is fully blow-dried. You can see it's it's huge, but while my curling iron is heating up, first of all, the curling iron I'm using is by Hot Tools, and it's the it just says how Tools helix. I think it's like an inch and a half doesn't say, but it's this blue one. It'S pretty standard, curling iron, it's a pretty standard size. I believe it's an inch and a half I'll explain a little bit about my hair, my hair cut, so that you can kind of understand why my hair is always so I guess big and voluminous. I have a lot of layers in my hair. I recently got a haircut and I said you know why. I want a lot of layers because I want a lot of body, and layers are really great for someone that doesn't really like a particular style, at least in my opinion, because I can just run my fingers through it and everything just kind of falls in the Right put in the right way, and also what I wanted to mention is that I, when I saw my hair, usually 99 % of the time I styled my hair at night, I mean, unless I'm going to a meeting or a special occasion or a specific event. I want to style my hair to make it look perfect. Then I style it right then, and there, but most of the time on an everyday basis. How you see my hair is, I style it at night and then I just won't do anything to it. For a couple of days, except putting a little bit of dry shampoo run my fingers through it and I'm done, and then I won't do anything to it for two days and then I'll. Just repeat the process of washing it and doing it all over again. Because my hair just holds really well, I have so. My hair is mostly just parted to the right right now, but if you, but first of all, I've completely trained my hair by this point to kind of fall in a specific way. But if I parted down the middle, I don't like the way it looks like this, but I wanted to just to show you how short my layers start. So my first layer starts at about my chin and then they just kind of gradually get longer from there. But if you want a lot of value, a lot of volume, you need a lot of you know a lot of layers, otherwise it's just kind of all going to fall flat and it's not going to hold a style or a shape. If you are someone who our hair straight every day straight layer, hair is not going to be the way for you because really layers the shorts. Just don't look good straight. They just kind of look. You can strain it as much as you want, but the layers are still going to separate and fall different ways. I'M someone that doesn't really straighten her hair. Hardly ever so. I don't worry about that, but for the most part to just keep it curly and I keep it with some kind of style. So my curling iron is it just it's. It makes its own style and I'll show you. My curling iron is heated and the first thing I do is I just section off the crown. I do not do this in any particular way. Oh, did you see that it's like a ninja move and then just start just set it like that, and then I section off this piece, not because I want things to be perfect, but because I don't want to take chunks that are too big, because then I Find they just done doesn't give me the seat, the style. I want certain pieces, just don't get curled or really Bend, I'm not really looking for a curl and then I section each layer into two and then I section each piece I guess into three and then I just do three big curls and you'll see always a Hit away from the face on the first two layers, I suppose away from the fate. Oh, I have a mirror in front of me, but you think that I was working completely blind because I can't see what I'm doing and then clearly I'm not. I don't have my self together today and then just hold I hold it. I bring it all the way up. I hold it for like five six seconds, because the point here is not to have like perfect curls, because I'm going to just run my fingers through it anyway. It'S just really to straighten all the frizz and to give it a little bit of Bend and body. So let it go, this is what it looks like I don't hold it. I don't put any hairspray in it. I don't do anything to it, just let it go and then I repeat the process with these two pieces on this side and you can see I'm only holding it for a few seconds and doing a hairstyle like this, then at night it's not that time-consuming, because Between blow-drying and curling might take me about a half hour, maybe about 20 minutes to be honest with you, but the style just lasts for a couple days, so I don't have to really mess with it. Add any additional heat just run my fingers through it and go, and it gets better and better like where you sleep on it kind of I don't know you just gets that bed hair gets better and better and, like I said, I've just got at this point. Trained my hair to fall a certain way. It wants to fall to the right it wants to flip, which I love, but it took several several weeks it since I got my haircut to really train it that way. Okay, so you can see. I did this side I'm going to do this side and then I'll do this second layer exactly the same as I did the bottom layer and I'll meet you when we do the top okay last curl from the first bottom layers, and I'm going to show you How I do the top now I'll bend down, so you can kind of see a bit better instead of sectioning this in half and going you know away from the face. I don't do that. What I do instead is, I take this, I would say, maybe do like four sections and instead of going away from the face, I pull the hair forward. Okay and then curl it back. This just gives me a little bit of lift at the root and also because it's not all going the same way. The hair isn't going to tangle up into one just giant curl, facing away from the face. It'S just going to be a little bit more PC and look at that. Okay. This really should be the new style like so let it go and then do the same thing until you're pretty much done. I do this to my bangs and everything I just like. The same I like everything, going in the same direction, which is just backwards and by pulling forward, makes it so that you really get to that. You know to that base giving this base a little bit of a lift eating my own hair, the very last my bangs, I just literally hold them for a second take everything out of your clips and pull it back. There'S the center part, which I don't do that was this karuppa sit. The layers are too short, then this is a final product I put in my hair. I don't even put hairspray in my hair most of the time this is the bed head, TIGI after-party. This is a smoothing cream for silky shiny, healthy, looking hair. This is my favorite hair product of all time. I'Ve been using this for about eight years, fun fact that was introduced to this, but one of my customers and my dad's pizza shop. She was a hair, stylist and loved my hair really long black hair, and she said you know I had this product that you can put in your hair every time I'm done styling it. That really gives you beautiful shine and makes your hair just look really healthy and keep so. It makes it's nice and smooth and when she introduced me to this, I never looked back and it was about eight years ago, if not more actually - and this is what it looks like - I don't put a lot in and then all I do is just run This through my through my hair and then again, I part it to the side, because I like the way it falls, but you can do whatever you like and, like I said when you sleep on it, it just kind of gets better and better, and that's it That is how I, because do you see how it just it just naturally wants to flip back. That'S because I do this style so often that my hair is just kind of used to it by this point and that's what it does it's the back, and that is the front. So that is my hair care routine and how I style my hair on an everyday basis. It'S just a really. It'S been a really highly requested video for some time, so I definitely wanted to do it for you and just kind of show you step by step of my favorite products and if you're, just just if you're curious tomorrow, I sprayed my hair with some dry shampoo And get away with it and then the next day as well and my favorite dry shampoo is deep. The true original instant dry, shampoo, the one with like the red and blue lines: don't leave a white residue. So that's why I like using this one in particular, but this is what I like to use as my dry shampoo. I hope that you found this video helpful. I'M sorry, I'm not using a meal in products like most people do, but I wanted to keep it very honest and very real and show you what I actually use to create the style you have been asking for so yeah. These are some. These are my products that I've been using for years and years so they're just true and tried. I know they work. I know they're the bomb diggity dog, because I've been using them for years and I just can't beyour away from them. It'S just my fake they're. Just my favorite, so that is everything, give this video a thumbs up. If you found it helpful, let me know what you want to see next and I will see you next time: hi
