How To : Quick Weave Half Up Ponytail | Beautybymalika

Welcome back to my channel, this is beauty by Malika. Today I am coming to you with a tutorial. This is going to be a how to do a quick review and simple the style there and doing today will be a half-up, half-down type of style right here. My assistant is just sewing around the perimeter of the brain the base underneath this cap. I'M is very simple. Somehow I lost the footage of her doing this part, but it's very simple I'll. Just explain it to you. She just did a perimeter braid around the head, where the hair is going to be put up, and then she just brushed the hair to the middle of the back of the head and did one under braid so that she can sew it down. And so that's why the base is very flat. So it's very, very simple: you can do the base any kind of way just make sure that you have a perimeter braid, and you want to sew the cap around that braid. This is just going to ensure that the cap does not slide off. It does not roll or anything like that. It will stay put so after she has sown completely around the perimeter braid. She will be applying the 30 second growth protectant solution. This solution is just good to create an extra barrier between the clients, hair and the hair glue. So the goal with quick weaves is not back in 1995, where quickly um, you know we're pulling out people's hair because of the takedowns, and things like that. We have come a long way with quick weaves. All of my clients who wear quick, weaves hair grow like wildfires. It'S long it's healthy and it doesn't come up and that's because we create a neat and simple base and we take the proper precautions to protect her hair. So here is the clip of her just putting it on she's going to clip the access cap at the top that we don't need so that she can get really close to the clients, part parting area and the reason she does. That is because, once I go in and put the tracks, I like to put the Traxxas close to the parting area as possible. But again I do not want to you know: compromise the integrity of the clients, edges and her hair. So that's why she's cutting that cap off and putting the solution all the way up to the part, so that is pretty much simple and easy for the prep part. Once you get all of the paste on, you want to just put your client under the dryer. I like to put the dryer on the cool setting because it drives the solution. A little bit quicker using the hot setting is perfectly fine. It'Ll still dry just do whatever works for you and whatever you prefer. So when this client takes her hair down, all she'll have to do, or you know if she comes in and have us take it down. All we'll have to do is take the tracks off the cap and place her at the shampoo bowl. We want to run warm water, warm water will deactivate the solution and then we'll be able to cut the thread around the perimeter. Braid and the cap will come off really easy. None of her hair will come out if you do see any hair in the bowl. After your shampoo, depending on how long the client has her quick weave in don't worry that it's just natural shedding from her hair you'll, definitely be able to tell the difference from natural, shedding and hair coming out because of an install. So now I'm going to go ahead and glue the tracks onto the cap. I am using two bundles for the back from my hairline, her dream hair. This texture is called dream deep and it is Brazilian Here I am cutting the West, obviously, because I am doing a quick weave - and I am just starting in the nape of her hair and putting the tracks in in a smile shape. So you want to make sure you do a smile shape because the head has curvature. So when you follow the natural curvature you know you created even you know even distribution of the hair. So for the size, I love to curve the tracks going forward on the sides, because this pushes the extension hair forward and makes you know the install look a little bit more full in the front, and you know just if the client, let's say her edges, curl Up and do what you know, our hair naturally does because we're black so in our our hair will curl up with moisture it'll cover this so that way, you're helping your client use less heat if she sees them or if they show, of course, they're going to Want to put heat in it and press it out and make sure it's all straight. So if you put the tracks in a curve either the edges are covered and she won't even have to worry about that. So that's my little tip to make the sides fuller and to keep my client from putting too much heat into her hair, so just continue to put the tracks in a small shape until you have filled the entire section of the cap. So now for the last track, I am going to the very edge of her parting areas so that her hair and the extension hair blends seamlessly. So then, we're going to go ahead and get the ponytail area together, so for the hair um that will cover the tracks. I allowed about a half an inch to cover you want to measure out. According to your clients, hair everybody's hair density is different distance. The density means thickness, so you want to measure this accordingly to how your clients hair, presses out, because once is in its natural state, which is curly and then pressed out. Those are two different things. They look totally different, so make sure you do it accordingly to when her hair is soaked out so for the ponytail. I am just using a little bit of a slick stick when I pressed her hair off camera and then to load it back. I used a little bit of the got to be glued hairspray, so just go ahead and smooth this part out. No bumps no lumps - and you want this to be really pretty and smooth. Once you get the ponytail in place, you want to go ahead and break the excess and wrap it around. Now you can do this ponytail two different ways: you can go ahead and leave the ponytail area out and press it out and then pin the hair around the ponytail. I decided to do the glue method, so I'm braiding her excess here and I repin it around. Each other and then I'll be putting a hair wrap around the ponytail. This will again make sure I'm not putting any glue on the clamps here. You are wrapping the hair wrap. You want to wrap it as tight as you can and the reason you want to do this is because you don't want your client to be. You know in the wind being fabulous and her ponytail comes off like a flying squirrel. We don't want that. She don't want that shoot on with it, so make sure that you wrap the hair wrap kind of tight and then, when you're gluing the tracks onto the hair strip make sure you use tension as well, because we want this pointy toe to stay on during the Whole duration of her style, okay, so I like to blow-dry this picture out before I curl it just makes curling just a little bit more simpler and I don't have to put a lot of heat on the hair. I love to blow dry this texture out and just wear it in its natural state. I feel like it'll. This looks so much like african-american hair, like look at her here and then look at the extension here. Oh my god, so just blow dry through the hair. It doesn't have to be super super straight, but you just want to get most of that deep wave out of the hair. Look at that hair, oh gosh, so beautiful, the lens that I use was 24 and 20 and I kind of just sandwich two together. So I would use I used on half of the 24 in the back and then I did some of the 20 and it kind of alternated between the two to create like a natural layering effect in between the hair. So now you just want to go ahead and wrap your ponytail. I'M a good trick is to once you put the hair glue on the trap, just spread a little bit with some hairspray. This will make the glue more tacky and dry faster. So that's just a little bit quick tip for you and then again just remember to wrap the hair with tension. So for the piece that I am wrapping around the ponytail, I just took a small section from the back of the ponytail. I applied some slick, stick and some hairspray and I am just combing it smooth and then wrapping it around the ponytail so I'll, just smooth as you go and make sure it looks nice and pretty and shiny and then also once I get halfway through. I like to just put a little bit of glue on the underside of the hair that I'm wrapping. This will just make it stick to each other and it will not unravel so after you have completely wrapped it just tuck it underneath itself really wrapping this last part kind of tight, so it will completely cook under. You won't have to worry about panini glue. Just put a little hairspray and it will stay so now, I'm just doing a light, face frame and the front I'm keeping most of the UM the length on the hair. She didn't want it as long, so I am keeping most of the lift, but not all of it. So now I am just going in with flat irons and I am creating their girls. I am curling away from the face for most of the curls and then maybe the last two tracks I am going to be cuff. I am going to be curling in the opposite direction. You'Ll see once I curl it. It'Ll all make sense. So you can choose to use um a curly one to create waves or you can go ahead and straighten either style will look really nice. With this install. She saw a picture on Instagram and the model had something similar to this. Actually the exact style um, but I just did the curls a little bit tighter so that they'll last her longer and then after I curl the complete hair. I am going to comb the girls through and make it a little bit more fluffier and then that's pretty much it I'll go in and I'll be using the design essentials. The Purple Label on her edges and smoothing those out that edge control is wonderful. It is my favorite. I'Ve tried every single edge control that you can get at the beauty supply for my clients, and I hate all of them except the design essentials. The hair will not keep white, it will not get like sticky and tacky, and it would also not get greasy. This formula is the perfect formula for our hair. I love it like 100 percent low, not one complaint with this formula, make sure you get the Purple Label and then one another quick tip I like to do when I am trying to blend a client's hair. With extension, here I like to put a little bit of the slick, stick on the ends and spray it with hairspray and then go ahead and flat iron. It I'm doing those steps will allow you to just do. Maybe one pass with your Flatiron and that way you will not give your client heat damage. The hair will still blend perfectly so yeah, just kind of um go ahead and curl the ponytail the same exact way once the ponytail is curled. You want to kind of just rake through it just a little bit. We don't want to make it fluffy like we are going to do the rest of the hair. We just want to break up those curls a little so go ahead and rake your fingers through cross just a tad bit and yeah. Now we're done so. I hope that this tutorial was very easy to follow along with and you are able to achieve this look.
