Hi crew welcome to another episode of the hair tutorial, so today is probably not my first hair video that i filmed, but this is probably going to be the first one that i upload a few weeks ago. I did do my hair if you're new here my name is rhonda. I am a flight attendant. I talk about travel on this channel. I also own a makeup brand called by cosmetics, i'm currently wearing one of our lipsticks. It'S called the flight attendant landing lips. Duh then we talk about beauty, self-confidence, makeup, travel and if you are interested in becoming a flight attendant, i also talk about how to become a flight attendant some tips and tricks, and i have conducted interviews with flight attendants before and i have that on my channel. So if you would like to be a part of the crew, why not go ahead and join now by subscribing commenting liking? The video, if you have any questions about the hair, we're about to get into today, go ahead and leave a comment below. If i can help you in any way, i will be happy to do so in the comments. Okay. So let's get started to while we're here so today i have decided to make this video because i've always been interested in hair, but i've just never had the courage to upload my natural hair to the internet because you know anything on the internet stays forever. So i currently feel naked, don't get me wrong. Love love love my natural hair, it's just hard for me to maintain it in this natural state and with my job going to work being stuck in a cabin, it would just be a hot mess trying to maintain my hair. I do braids and i do all of my own hair. Sometimes i wear wigs. I am really really afraid of the wigs, because i have this silly fear that someone's gon na yank, my wig cap, all or someone's gon na mistakenly, like just hold my hair like this one day, i was on the aircraft and i had a baby. I was helping the mom because the baby was crying, so i held the baby and this baby started pulling on my hair and i'm like damn. I always have this fear that someone's gon na pull my wig, and this baby is like just yanking my hair from left to right and thought it was fun and started laughing. So i'm like oh damn. This is a real fear that i have had to have my wig on this baby, pulling on my hair in the middle of the airplane. Imagine what would have happened but nonetheless i had my brain sound. So i do wear wigs from time to time, but i just always have this fear, so i prefer weave, which is sew-ins or braids and crochet like protective styles. That'S what i usually do - and i mostly come up with almost all of my own hairstyles - that i do it might be something that's out there, but i would just tweak it a little bit and just make it fit my hair. So then my boyfriend said why don't you start doing hair videos since you love hair? Why don't you add hair to your channel? So i did do a hair, video back then, but i still haven't uploaded it. I'M hoping that i'm able to upload this video, because i got a lot of compliments on the hair that i did previously. I will insert the picture of the hair in here and i want to be able to share that with you guys. I came up with this hairstyle because i was doing a lot of crochet hairstyles and i just didn't like to pull it up, because when i did the crochet i didn't want to leave hair out because i'm growing my natural hair and i kind of want my Edges to grow with my hair, i would braid everything back and then, when i crocheted and put it up it just looked like it was crochet. You can see where it started. So i wanted to be able to put my hair up in a ponytail, but you know like have that braids feeling, but also have a look like you know. My curls are flowing and stuff like that. So in the hairstyle that i did, i had like a lot of girls who walk on a plane. They'Ll ask me like how'd, you do your hair, like black girls, how did you do your hair where'd? You get your hair, so i was like. Maybe i should just make a video and help people out because most people like the way it looked and then i even have a i even had a white girl asked me. How did you achieve your curls, because mines are so frizzy and i was like well, the beauty supply store and she thought i was being serious and i was like no chill. This is not real. I mean it is my hair because i paid for it. Excuse you, but she just was really wanting to know how i kept the curls up. Unfortunately, today i'm not going to be using the hair that i'm talking about, because i like to switch things up. I got a different brand of hair. This is called the brazilian gogo curls and it is in the 20 inches which i'm gon na be splitting up here, to get it down to the length that i want um, but i got the 20 inches and the color number two, because that's basically, i used To be like a jet black, but i've been doing a lot of stuff to my hair, so it's faded into a number two, so i usually try to get something that's close to my hair type, so that makes it look natural. You know this is the hair. I'M going to be using 2x right there, it's brazilian go, go curls, so the hair that i used prior to this, which i'll insert a picture in the video of, was a different type of hair. It was color too as well, but it just was a different type of hair and i wanted a change. It was good for because i got a lot of compliments. Hopefully, this here lives up to what that hair was able to achieve um, but i will insert it and you guys can figure out what type of curl pattern you love. Okay, so enough of me talking, let's go ahead and get started. I might still continue to talk just because it's in my nature, i can't stop doing this. My mother told me to stop doing this because it wrinkles your forehead really quickly. So i can't stop moisturizing my scalp here and then i'm gon na go ahead and show you guys how to achieve the look and i will be back or i can keep you guys on and tell you some fun airplane stories. If you like, leave a comment down below because i don't want to do it and you don't like it the next time when i do my hair i'll, tell you it's fun stories, or i can just say, and if you don't like it, you can click off. Let'S get started, i got the 20 inch and i don't like long hair. I don't like stuff like all the way down my neck. You see why i keep chopping my hair off, but my boyfriend said no more chopping, so i can no longer chop my hair off, but i could chop the one i bought off so he does not regulate that. Don'T regulate my hair either, but i just think it's a great thing to actually stop chopping off my hair, so it was easy to agree on that. So you know how, when you're going to do an individual braids, you partly kind of like this. So with this one that i decided to do, i parted it like. I was going to do a down cone real bright, but i just made it longer so kind of like this. If that makes any sense to you, you got ta part it well, because it is in the front and the back. I really care so like that. This is what the hair looks like out of the pack like this. It was very cheap, so i doubt it's gon na last try to get something better than what i have. This is the 20 inch length and i'm going to chop it in the middle here when you chop the middle. You get a piece like this, so, depending on how thick you want your hair, because i like it to look natural, i usually get three pieces from like a thicker piece like this. Sometimes you know the hair they're all not the same. You might end up with like a piece that is not as thick. You might end up with like a piece like this, then you can probably only get a braid and a half out of this hair. Depending on the thickness of the piece you cut, you can model how many pieces you need after that to get started. I usually would go. I mean the hair was together and i just split it like that, and i kind of like to leave like one long piece and like a shorter piece here, just to not have it like. You know how, when you cut the hair, it's like the frizzy piece right there, that's very thick, so you have to thin that out to make it look natural. You have to thin this piece out, but i don't want to like stretch it because if i do stretch it, then it's going to make this part tangle. So i want to keep this pattern for as long as i can so i'm not going to stretch it. However, when i open it up, i am going to not even it out so this one's going to be up here. This short piece is going to be up here and this longer piece is going to be down here. So that way, it's not puffy all right. Let'S go ahead and get started so you braid this, like you, will braid a cornrow. You know how to braid cornrows. If you don't know how to do. Cornrows go, learn. Click around somewhere on youtube, i'm sure somebody. There knows how to do. Cornrows and they'll teach you how to do cornrows, but i don't have time to do it right now. I'M just going to show you how to achieve this hair. Look. So you literally you braid it like you, braiding cornrow, when you're done with the piece that you cut out, then you do like this and the reason for hardening it longer than the natural individual braids is because i don't want it to fall out and then, when You do that you will have this natural hair here you hold that and another natural hair piece on the shorter length you hold that and you come and find the last natural hair piece because they're split into three so the other to keep the natural hair pieces Together, you want to attach it to the shorter to the two shorter lens, so the longer length is the one: that's not going to be brighter and it's going to be left out to give you that curls, but the ones that are going to be braided. You want to attach all of the natural hair pieces to that so well, i usually use my mouth so what i'm doing now, i'm just twisting it like it. It'S a neglige twist! So i'm just twisting that part of the hair, the natural hair with the rest of that hair, i'm just twisting it twisting twisting twisty, and if you get like a super soft hair, this hair is a little bit on the rough side. It does feel soft when you touch it, but when you braid it can stand on its own, so you just have to finish it up to at the very end, so it doesn't come loose. Okay, if you're wondering where i got my nice beautiful shirts from i got this shirt from the liberian olympics official designer, because originally i am from west africa, liberia now a u.s citizen. So i am a liberian american but uh. I wanted to support my home country. So i purchased the t-shirt from the website. I don't know if they have this particular one for sale, but i know they have a lot of unique items that they have for sale there. If you would like to support them i'll link the website down below you can check it out, not sponsored again. However, i will strongly suggest that you pick your size. You pick your exact size. Obviously i missed a big time, and but this was one of the presents they gave me and then they gave me like a pen of the librarian flag with the company's logo in it, and i also got another shirt that i purchased. So i got the two shirts i purchased, plus this bonus, one which was the present and i loved the one i got for me because it was my sides and it fit nicely. The texture was nice, it's a little bit on the pricey side, but they're beautiful items now back to the hair. When you see this, don't worry about it, it is going to stay uh and if you are a little bit worried about it just tie it tie. Tie a knot to the bottom obviously do not tie a knot to where your hair stays make it longer. If you have a longer hair make the twist long and tie at the very bottom so that you are not um constantly paranoid about it coming loose now, it might look a little like hey. What'S going on how's it gon na look and it's gon na come together. I promise you i like to do the front of my hair. Usually i like to start in the front, because when i get tired, it's whatever in the back, so i usually try to do my hair. When i have all the energy in the front, you might want to braid a little down before you start twisting two all right, then you grab make sure you grab your natural hair, don't leave it out, especially if you're growing your hair. You want to keep out and dry. If you see me looking up, i have a mirror on the back of my ring light. So that's where i'm looking put this, i put it in between these two fingers and these two fingers, and then i go like this. These two see two fingers here: two fingers here and two fingers here and then i twist and go like this. If you didn't get it try to rewind it until you do, but if you know how to braid cornrows - and you know how to braid individual braids, this will be easy for you and, if you're a beginner, and you really want to achieve a better braiding. Look because i am thinking that this is not going to be braided properly because of these. So if you want to achieve like a nicer flatter, braiding cornrow look, i will not particularly recommend doing your nails and then doing your hair. Probably do your hair before you go. Do your nails, because i am on a struggle bust right now. My advice doing this here would be get the hair color, the extension that matches your hair, the closest, because you do not want to be looking. I don't want to sit tacky but yeah and make sure the part that you're selecting to do your twist is small. It'S a small portion do not make it bigger, because if you make it bigger, it's going to show it's gon na show under the curls. So you don't want it to be very visible, even though it's there, you want it to be invisible. As you go up, higher increase the portions of hair, you braid, so instead of braiding this, you should go ahead and at least get a bigger curl. Try to keep this part smaller if you can, because that's the part you're gon na be braiding with so try to measure it. So maybe this is too big. You take up a little bit more and then open up up and all the way up, just like that one tail longer the other toes shorter. Maybe you can even do this like that and then, like i said under here this and that and then start braiding, do not pull on your edges. Please do not pull on your edges. You might see my edges might be looking like it's being pulled, but it is not being pulled. I don't want you to lose your edges, because you're trying to achieve a hairstyle, it's better to have your own hair than to lose your hair. Trying to attach your hair and then you're still left with a thicker piece, but i will tell you what to do with that. So now what i'm doing is i'm just twisting, but i said twist i'm going to pull hair out and leave it out like they do tree braids, as i'm pulling that hair out, i'm making sure i'm not pulling my natural hair out, i'm keeping my natural hair In so it stays braided, okay, so a little trick that i realized as i was going through because, like i said i am using a different hair type and what i was doing at the beginning. I was tying this tighter because it's a different hair type, so i was going tighter and you see why i end up leaving it like it was really tight twist. So what you do is you, do it tighter at the beginning and as you get to the end, just kind of do it loose do a very loose twist so that you don't end up with a very like tight twist that you can see through the hair. As you see here, you can see it through the hair, so do a very loose twist, and that would end up curling. You see how it curls back up, see how you still maintain the curls. You see how straight this one is, it doesn't blend in well. So i am going to go through and undo so then it's able to easily blend in like that, opposed to what i did here. Where is super tight? You really might not have any issues with this it's shorter, but for those longer ones that you have to do, i would say: do them softer how far we've gotten with the hair i'm almost at the top here? So, let's see how far we are, you see the difference between this one and this one see how this all looks like it's all, curls and no braids in it. You see how you can see the braid popping in that one okay. So this is how you achieve the look now i'm gon na undo that braids and try to fix it all right. So what we do here, i'm gon na remove some of this hair. Try to narrow it down, make it thinner and move some hair here too. Tighter here and then softer at the bottom looks like it's all: a curly hair and not braided. Okay. I hope that helps all right, so i'm going to continue braiding and i'll come back to you with the finished. Look hey guys. So this is the progress i just folded this up and i am still braiding the back. It is quite the struggle and it's been hours and i'm still working on it but i'll. Let you guys know. One thing i didn't do was check the time i started. Braiding, i will go back and try to figure out if i can remember the time, but i know it's um yeah, i don't know the time, but i will go back and see you know like. Maybe when i texted my boyfriend, maybe what time it was uh as you can see, i have been like rubbing this one eye, so i'm losing like my makeup, but by the time i'm done, i will take a shower and then i'll show you guys the full Look: okay, hi crew. We are back i've taken me seven or eight hours. I would say to get this hair done so i'll show you i braided every single hair here and i'll show you the back of how i did it. So i increased the hair pieces. I was doing uh in the back, so, where you see here is the smaller piece and the back is going to be like a much bigger piece, because i wanted the back to be much fuller. Why i love to have my hair down? I also enjoy putting it up in a ponytail, because i'm a flight attendant, my company never used to allow us to put our hair down, but now they've relaxed the roots at least around this length. Yes, it's just right, but i still enjoy putting my hair up in the ponytail just because i don't know i like to show my big forehead hope you enjoyed this tutorial and i hope you are able to achieve this look. And if you are, please follow me on instagram and send me a dm. Let me see your pictures. I will link my instagram down below and you guys can check it out. I love this hairstyle because you can give yourself a nice middle part or you can do to the side or you can just put it all up in a ponytail which is my favorite all right. So i'm gon na go ahead and put it in a ponytail right now i didn't put any type of oil on it or didn't even chop it yet because i don't want to chop it off just yet. Once you make that big chop, you cannot undo that um. So i will do a little bit of a trim here shortly so that you guys can see, but that's the most i'm going to do and once i've worn it in a certain way. For a long time, then, maybe i would think about um, giving it a chop, but for now i'm going to keep it longer and it doesn't hurt guys when you do your own hair. When i first started learning how to do my hair, i will really pull my scalp and it doesn't do anyone an injustice. So it's fine like if you see it, slipping out to re-braid it. But if you are just going to yank your own edges that doesn't serve anyone, including yourself, so try not to do that whenever you do like a ponytail, try to pull it out a little bit so that, like you're, not pulling on your edges, see try not To pull on your edges, i'm not going to chop everything out to the point where it's all, even just because the ponytail style is so different from like when you have your hair down. So there are other parts that you might think that needs to be like shorter, but then, when you put it down, then you have like half of it is short and half size longer all right, so i don't need to do much. You can chop it up if you want, but for now i'm going to enjoy this look when i go to work. This is how i do it usually. So maybe i might have like a little one running down here. Maybe this long, usually it's like here. I might cut it right here. You have like a little clip or hair pen and i just pin it right there like that, okay guys. So this is what the finished look looks like for the i mean i could do this a little better, but i don't have my my pen to like pin it back here like that, but pretty much you get the point. This is what it's going to look like when i'm done. I mostly wear my hair like this when i go to work, and so i'm going to finish eating my african food that i had to pause to finish this video okay, the things i do for you now i can finish eating my food once again.
