I'M loved see you got it, I don't know what you were thinking, but I with the trauma, broader culture. I tipping up, take the clothes off eBay. Don'T you dare play around go ahead? Let your hair down makes more sexy cells yeah, I'm too right. So I'm starting with clean towel, dried hair and I'm going to start the prepping process for my braids. I'M going to apply this same moisture, leave-in conditioner, all over my head and now I'm taking this Olive miracle oil and I'm doing the same and I'm going to begin detangling. My hair. Now I'm spraying this keratin oil all over my hair and then I'm going to use my hands to massage it through the strands in all over my scalp and then I'm going to section off my parts for my vixen and I'm going to make sure I separate My leave out so I've already braided. All of my sections, I didn't like do a tutorial because my braids are janky and it's no need for a tutorial for this. So I'll leave some links down below for some good vixen, braid tutorials. So now I'm taking the end of my Infinity braid theme and I'm going to basically loop the end of this braid through the pattern. So I can disguise the end, so it won't be exposed once I crochet my hair, and this is how my entire braiding pattern looks. I'M in the back. I just made it one section and I didn't put the weave out down the middle, so I've crocheted the back and half of the front, and now I'm just going to show you guys my crochet technique. You want to put the needle through open the hook loop. The hair, through the hook close the latch, pull it through and then put the end on the hook close the latch and then pull it through pay more attention to the visual tutorial within the spoken-tutorial. So again, I'm putting the needle through I'm looping the hair around the hook pulling it through. Then I'm looping the end around the hook and then pulling it through, and it's really simple. So once that's done, I'm going to make a large spice girl bin to not so I can move on to my natural hair. So I'm taking my Tresemme thermal creations, heat protectant, I'm using this cheater bow round brush in my Revlon blow-dryer and I'm just going to start by blowing out my hair, and I am so surprised as to how straight my hair got with this method. I'Ve never like done this blowout thing, so this is like the first thing time and now I'm going to use the chase method to completely straighten my hair, and this is how it looks once you do nothing at all to the hair, and this is how it Looks once you straighten the hair, so the hair that I'm wearing is so phenomenal. It'S the Isis every natural definition, braids 100 % Kanekalon hair and, oh my god. This stuff is amazing. It looks and feels like human hair, like I don't get that crazy nasty shedding. Like tingling, like anything, this hair is super duper long-lasting and I really just love it so much I'll leave a link down below where you can purchase this hair. The only thing that I don't like is this hair is already cut in half. So I'm pretty sure this hair is meant for crochet braids. So these are the tools that I'm using to straighten my hair and I'm using my curves and oil and my Revlon blow-dryer, and I'm going to start by taking this section in the back. I'M that poofy hair, that you see is my hair. I didn't straighten the back all the way, so I'm going to start by detangling the hair jam session over and then after I put some of that oil all over the section I'm going to like finger comb and blow-dry the top of the hair. So it can get really nice and straight and it can blend in with my natural hair and I'm using high heat on the highest speed. And then, once that's done, you just want to stretch your hair as tight as you can, and then you want to blow-dry the hair like all the way down, really close and then brush it out in am jump to my hair being completely finished, and this is How it looks I love this so much. This is going to be like my new go-to like an ear thing. It looks so good. It looks so natural and I'm so excited. I tried it so yeah um, don't forget to Like like comment and subscribe and follow me on like Instagram and stuff so yeah I'll talk to you later. Bye,
