Alright guys welcome back to my channel so this video here this tutorial here, I was debating, fall Wow shine even do this tutorial, because the most part some may think that this video is pretty much simple like why even to a tutorial in this, but I started To think that, maybe someone out there just don't know how to do what I'm about to show you and pretty much, not so much know how to do, but just now that Aaron's having to do it. So I'm pretty much gon na show you how slick my hair back in a ponytail alright. So let's get right into it! Cuz! I don't want to drag this video cuz. You know I don't want to track the video they don't have to be alone. Well, what you want to do? First, you want to lightly moisturize your hair, so I have my little moisturizing up shaking it up and I'm just gon na try to miss the hair. I'M just gon na go ahead and do my little part. It'S not gon na. Be perfect match I make it perfect, just need something that will last me for tomorrow and then I'll be washing my hair. Alright, I did one moisturize, I'm just gon na miss it again so and I'm not drenching the hair just want to kind of help. Star-Forming the strands too late in the way that I like what I'm too late. So that's all I'm doing here and this would you know if you were relaxed a nice, probably more like a nice holding spray would be perfect. You know for that situation. First order business I'd like to do, and this doesn't take a lot of product - it's all it doesn't. What I like to do is kind of like my problem areas at times it's most kind of problem ears and to making sure the hair lay flat is right up in here. Well, most of the hair is sort of well. The up in the crown area. Can worse all tied up, so I'm just gon na you know, click that away. I'M spraying this again and it kind of using my hand to help Moda hair down and if you can use your hand for a lot of this stuff to be perfect, I will take whatever chair that works. For you, I'm taking the Emperor Proust a shining Jam. You all know just like one of my favorites just jail works perfect for my hair. Oh, I don't need to have another product with this to kept my hair to lay down my hair is not hard to lay down, so I mean the thing is fine? You'Re? Fine, the joy that works for your hair, so I think everyone should have one least one job that works perfect for their four days like this, when they won the word like the slicked-back, what they want to wear any hair status required for it to look more Sleek, you know more put together finding your favorite jail for this, so keep searching for the do. You have a fan felt it I like to take. You know a generous amount, not too much, and I kind of rub it on my fingers. Cuz. I don't want the job to be clunk up in one spot, because I want to kind of evenly spread the gel on my hair, so I'm just gon na take my hands and like rub it down the hair, like this, like to slick it down to the Point where you know it's not moving, but not too much, because now you have this session this section here that we have to put gel on pick up. My comb like this that's right at home, and I just kind of like to comb to make sure everything. So it's kind of like you breaking at the help without pulling the hair, and yes that is possible, so you just want to kind of like break at the hair, so you get it to where it it stops it. This is like the number one thing I believe I spoke about this in the old videos, but just the way we brush the proper way of brushing so most thing. You just want to do it like this, but know if you can ahead a hair like this. The harrogate, you know it clamps to the graph to the brush and then way it make it easier, and you will see it just lay like this. So if you just take the brush and kind of slather like this, then the whole brush will go through all of that hair and stead. Are you just want to like this and then, when you do like this, it's kind of help. It lifts the hair up. So that's kind of use the side of your brush and then flick it out like this. So I do this every time I do any type of my hair is down, then I'll just take the tip of the brush and kind of stick it to the back. So I'm just kind of pulling the hair down like this, and then I may have to move gel back down so right here, but you know I'll see now once you had that section. So you I like to work in such a setting, like I said: if you want the more flawless sleep type of slicked-back, ponytail they're working sections, I can even do that this and just add a little cheer to make it easy. So I'm at a little water cuz you want to make sure you don't disturb what we just lay down, and so I'm just rubbing this on my finger sucking have an even spread on the hair and remember the more you get closer to the top of the Head, I'm what you don't have to apply gel more closer to the ends. If your hair is not long see, I cut in my hair, so I don't know how my hair is gon na be with this or how much of idiots gon na fit in action. Ponytail before I could it I'd always spitting upon tail, but it's all cool y'all, it's all cool, alright, again, I'm taking the call here and I'm kind of this breaking at it real lightly. This shouldn't be hard at all, especially since you already have detangle here. Normally, I won't do all this right here. You know but cut my hair. Hang it on that. Jesus really 20 minutes late, back home, sale, negative and I'm talking someone should let me get to work guys pretty much got most of it. Slicked down you wan na. Do the same thing, especially for this section here, you want to make sure you part the hair and small sections and just apply a little gel to it's all cut this part right here and want me pucker, so cut this one most of the hair, all right. So, like a everything slick down or some bobby pins in my hair, but that's how I slick my hair now and to really get this lit like my hair - is not gon na stay this slick, but it will stay laid down and still looking glow see throughout The day, so what I like to do to really make sure everything stays intact. I like to tell you that what a scarf or some I'll show you the back right, quick know how that looks, but just got my puff there Adam. I want I'm filling my middle part. I don't know why I think cuz it's just totally different, but I'm spraying my little curls on my puffs used to be bigger than it, but that's, okay! It'S gon na grow back. I'M sad down to tackles, like me, I'll, be right here, tanning out so tight in my hair start hurting, and this is my daughter scarf. I can't believe she used a scarf law, can't scarf that's cute and ready for tonight. So sleep on that in the morning. I'Ll take that down, but that's pretty much it. So that's how you can get a flawless sleek point SIA, especially if your natural, so fine, whatever works for your hair and get to work alright, guys in the next tutorial or next video
