Hey guys actually welcome back to my channel and for those of you that are new welcome. Thank you so much for joining us today. I'M gon na show you how I achieved this big ponytail on a tapered haircut now I know a lot of people have been wondering. How was I able to secure this ponytail onto my hair, but my hair is long enough to put into a ponytail, and you will see the trickery I believe it's been called trickery witchery and something else, but you're definitely gon na see. All of that, in this tutorial before we move any further, please make sure you subscribe. It is that big red button down below, if you are not subscribed, you are going to see what I mean, because the button is big and red. You cannot miss it and hit the notification bell, so you do get notified anytime. I make an upload. So if you are interested in seeing how I achieve this look, keep on watching alright guys, so I'm gon na jump right in and get started. This is what my hair looks like it's been, I want to say four or five days since I'm actually refreshed, so it's way overdue for me to actually wash my hair, which is terrible. So the first thing I'm gon na do is I'm going to grab my water bottle. You can wet your hair like in the shower or, however, you see fit, but because I've done my makeup and everything like that, I'm gon na have to just wet my hair. Using my water bottle, alright guys, so I'm just gon na do voiceovers from here on out because I feel like it would just be easier and keep the time of the video down. So what I'm doing now is I'm just wetting my hair, all over I'm using just regular water right now, and I really want to make sure that my hair is super wet in order to help manipulate it as best as possible for this style. Now I'm using my tangle teezer brush and I'm lightly detangling, my hair, because I want to make sure that there are no tangles or anything like that, because I want to make sure that the front and the back are as sleek as possible for this style on. Not adding any additional product, however, if you do want to add conditioner or a little bit of oil you're more than welcome to for gel I'm gon na use the argan oil eco, styler gel and I'm gon na take a big glob of gel, because I really Want to make sure that the top part and the underside of my hair are sleek like this ponytail is like super sleek. So I want to make sure that I have enough gel to do that now. I'M just gon na take my tangle teezer again and I'm gon na work that gel through my hair, also smoothing out any tangles so that it lays as flat as possible. I'M moving a little slow on the left side of my head because I do have a couple of new piercings and I don't want to bump them at all, because that would just be ridiculously painful. So I'm gon na do this a full top. A few times. Excuse me until my hair is as sleep as possible and until I get it to my liking, I am gon na, add more gel where I see fit and I'm just gon na keep detangling and smoothing with that tangle teezer brush as well. One thing I do want to say make sure when you do this style, you are doing it early enough in the day, so that you're not sleeping on wet hair trust me it's not pretty. Now. Here'S where the ponytail holder comes in my hair is long enough for holder, so I'm just gon na secure the back of my hair with the holder. This is also gon na, be my base for my clippings, and it's gon na make things a lot easier. The white product that you do see is the reactivated product that was in my hair, originally from the water, so I'm just gon na smooth that in as well just to make sure that everything is in place now. Here you get a better look at my ponytail and here are the clippings. I am using kinky street clippings. I don't remember exactly which texture type, but I'm gon na link. All of that below. So before I put the clippings in, I spritz them with a little bit of water just to smooth them out a little bit, because I do find that after I've been wearing my ponytail for hours, i'm fluffing at it. They do kind of tangle together. So I want to make sure that they're as detangles as possible, now I'm gon na put the clippings on the base of the ponytail and I'm gon na secure it in place with a with a hairpin, not bobby pins hairpins and I'm gon na wrap the clip In the bands - or I guess it's the weft around the base of my ponytail holder, you definitely want to make sure you're pulling this as tight as possible so that it stays. I don't. I don't know how to explain it, but you don't want it to look bulky and big. You want it to be as smooth and flat as possible. I'M gon na be adding a few different clippings here, so I want to make sure that they're as tight as possible, I'm gon na repeat the same steps over and over again. This is another clip in with four clips I like to use the clips off for first and then I'll get smaller with the clippings that I use. So this one has four clips the next two that I use have three clips. So I'm gon na do the same thing, secure it at the base of the ponytail and then I'm just gon na wrap. It all the way around making sure that it's as tight as possible, so it lays as flat as possible. That'S the most important part, because you are gon na, be adding multiple clip ends and you don't want it to be bulky and big. You want it to be really smooth and as flat as possible, so I'm also gon na do the same thing. When I get to the end, I'm gon na secure it in place with a hairpin, I'm just gon na repeat the same steps like I said this is a clip in a four now. I'M gon na use one with three, which is what we have here and then the second one was also equipment. With brief, I, however, cut out that clip because I felt like it was a little redundant at this point. So when we pick back up with the next step after applying the final clip in I'll be back to touch base with you guys so now, I'm just securing the ponytail in place a little bit more. This is a style that I'm gon na be wearing all day, so I want to make sure that she is in place she's not gon na move, and I also want to make sure that none of the clips are gon na slip during the day. So a little extra security is not going to hurt. I'M just gon na fluff the hair a little bit making sure I'm getting the look that I'm going for now. I'M gon na take a single clip clip in and I'm gon na use this at the base of my neck and pin that into place, and I'm gon na use the hair on that clip in to cover the wefts and the base of the ponytail. This is so that you don't see anything and so that it looks like you know like it's coming from my head. I want to make sure that you're not gon na see any of like the web, so anything like that because I feel like that would just be messy. So I'm gon na secure that into place with the bobby pin and then I'm gon na use a few hair pins on top just to make sure that that part stays in place all day as well. So now I'm just gon na finish up by adding a few bobby pins on the sides of my head and at the back I do have a tapered haircut, so the back is shorter than the front. So with that being said, I want to make sure that it's gon na be smooth all day, so I have to use some bobby pins to just hold the extra hairs into place and make sure that everything is going to be fine throughout the day. So I really hope that you all enjoyed this tutorial. I did do a little bit of edge art off camera. You can of course, leave this just slicked back. If that's what you prefer, but I wanted to add a little something extra, but I really hope that you all enjoyed this tutorial. I'M really loving this look at the moment and I hope you all love it as well. Don'T forget to Like comment and subscribe and I'll see you guys next time,
