Easy Short Curly Hair Routine (My Boyfriend'S Curly Hair Transformation)

What'S good, everybody welcome back to the channel unless you are new here. In that case i am your main girl, mel and i'm so excited to introduce you. Finally, to my main man, this is introduce yourself, i'm lucas, i'm uh, melissa's main man. So lucas is a little nervous in front of the camera, i'm a little nervous being in front of the camera with him as well. We'Ve never made a video together, but we are here to finally share with you guys his routine. This is an all-new routine that he has been growing with and when i say growing i mean really his hairs have come a long way. Lucas will share a little bit more about that his time before mel what his hair was looking like, and we will provide photos because his journey has been quite miraculous and his hair has been popping off today. He needs a little bit of a reshape and we're going to share with you guys how he styles his hair, using some techniques that i don't know. I don't know where you learned your techniques, but he's gone really good at taking care of his hair and his routine is really simple. It'S really simple. We cannot wait to share with you guys, i'm so excited to have you on here, even though i don't know how to act. This is weird, i'm sorry and without further ado. This is the debut of the boo. So, let's get to it so first things. First, before we go ahead and start styling, the haircut, because i'm working off of what you've got, we're not trying to shorten the hair drastically we're trying to shape up the hair and now that it's gotten this long, it's actually starting to curl in all of the Areas which is also giving him a lot of volume, but we do want to shape it. So it's not so rounded here and more flush. That'S exactly the plan here and as i'm doing that lucas tell me about the day that you first met me. Why don't you tell us about um? Maybe what your relationship with your hair was like before me time before mel the end, so i had. I had curly hair when i was really young and because i never understood the concept of why hair was curly and that i had it. I just continued to just cut it short and in addition to cutting it short, i would brush it. I would treat it the wrong way. I would treat it as if it was straight hair and that just never worked out. It was just uh, disappointing, hair day after disappointing hair day for my entire life. Before i met mal, i thought there were just two kinds of hair messy, hair and neat hair, and i thought i had messy hair and we could just say that i'm pretty sure mel liked my personality, a lot more, hey, hey, hey, hey! I saw the potential. I saw it was there, and i knew i could work with this. Mel just gave me a couple of tips, and you know now, i'm all about my hair, where i never was before the last three years have just been me obsessing over how much i love my hair. I never thought would happen which for me is so refreshing to see, because i feel like a lot of guys are very simple with their hair and they kind of just leave it up to the hands of their barber or hair stylist. And it really only looks good when it's freshly done and a lot of guys don't have enough guidance showing them how to take care of their hair, not everybody, but a lot of guys, and that was you. It not only showed in your. You know the way that you wore your hair, but even the health of your hair. My hair thickness is kind of returned. It feels healthier. It feels softer. It'S stronger, stronger, looking popping what is your wash day routine. Look like how long are you spending on your hair? This is a big thing. You know not that long on a wash day, i'd say i spend just under 30 minutes on it and that really lasts me like anywhere from two to three and sometimes, if i'm on a trip or something even four days. That includes your washing. That'S barely that's exactly that's max yeah and dry yeah. So i mean, if you wanted to break that out. It'S like 10 minutes a day, pretty doable. But what are some of the things you've been noticing, as your hair has gotten so long, because this is the longest your hair has ever been, and i'm really not cutting off a lot by the way. I'M cutting off like half an inch off of the sides. Mostly just focusing on the shape and making sure that this top part is not like not looking like a mushroom yeah. So what do you find? Are your challenges as it is growing so long? Well, first challenge is there's more hair to style right, so that does take some more time yeah. It does take some more time. One thing one thing that was introduced into my routine: well, it's kind of like something i'm not doing is uh, i'm not showering. I'M not washing my hair every day, which is something that i did for my entire life and uh. You know i was getting that high, that high growth fatigue. That'S getting all that stuff everything that mel says on her videos. I had all of that, and i didn't understand that washing my hair and shampooing it every day like was going to lead to having you know, hair that was pretty much the equivalent of like a straw. Broom like it was awful yeah for anyone. That'S new and you haven't watched any of my previous videos. Water is not always your best friend and washing your hair. Every day, it's usually not necessary at all. You always want to listen to your scalp if your scalp is feeling itchy. If it's really oily or it's flaky or you know, your scalp needs some love and care, then obviously, that's when you want to be washing and shampooing your hair, but even going down to wetting your hair every day you had first started you weren't shampooing every day, But you were still in the habit of wetting your hair. Every time you got in the shower, which you now have stopped, and i don't know if you want to share what your your trick is to help not get your hair wet. Let'S talk about the bonnet. It'S all about the bonnet. I got you your bonnet last year for christmas, so anyone also new imagine a bonna is a silk cap that you would really wear to sleep, but she does wear to sleep every night, which is why his hair looks so good. Even on day two and he pops it on when he's in the shower and what that's gon na help with is it's gon na help allow some of the steam from your shower to absorb into your hair, but it still blocks out any heavy drops and moisture That is going to cause frizz, and that also doesn't need to be touching your hair. You know what it's looking pretty good sides have been taken in ever so slightly. They are going to spring up a little bit now that i've taken some of the weight off, but i didn't want to cut so short to get rid of the curls. We showed you guys some of the pictures of lucas's hair while he was growing it out before his sides got this long, you'll notice. They were not actually curling, but he kind of went through a bit of an awkward phase where they were just flicking up. Yeah flicking up flicking out that's what we were avoiding today. We didn't want to go too short and the way to determine if your hair is long enough to actually curl. If you feel like right now, it's just a wave. You have to look at how big the circle is, so he has about three a size curls, three, a three b. The diameter of this curl is about an inch a centimeter, an inch. His hair needs to be at least two inches long to come. Full circle uh. As far as my products go, i made him bring them over, so he's got them all in a bag here. So we start off with the aveda shampoo and when we first met, we were concerned for his scalp and his hair and his hair loss, which we have now halted his hair. It'S not just halted, it's regenerating uh and then, after that's thoroughly done. I move on to the conditioner stage after i rinse off the conditioner. I come out of the shower and i go right to the aveda green stuff, okay, the green stuff. So he calls it all the time. Curl enhancer, that's the curl enhancer um. Actually, when we met, i was still in hair school and then i was working in an invader salon, so i was really familiar with the veda products and using all myself as well. So at that point it was like whatever i was using on myself. I was also giving to him to use then there's the liquid gel, which, especially now since my hair is really long. I really like to put this on the sides and back of my hair to lock in the curls so lucas now that it's pretty much all cut and it's time to style we're going to go ahead and do that we're going to show you guys all the Techniques that he's been using and before that we're going to go ahead and get it wet, be right back we're back and he is now emasculated now look a microfiber towel does not discriminate freshly washed we're gon na go in right away with our styling products. It is still really wet, but it's not dripping. So it's got a lot of dampness in there lucas pass me the green stuff i'm going to be taking over here. I'M going to share with you guys his styling techniques, because i taught him them and i want to explain to you guys what we're doing very simply. We take some green stuff into our hands and you have to keep in mind that the more hair you have the more product you're going to have to use, don't skimp out. You got to make sure that you get everywhere evenly and we're going to make sure that we distribute this product evenly as well. Remember, styling products are for your hairs, not your scalp shampoo is for your scalp, but now we're nourishing the hair and that's what you want to focus on: grab the hair and rake it through. It uses the be curly curl enhancer, because it's kind of like an all-in-one. It keeps it really simple for him, so he doesn't have to put in a bunch of different styling products. You know that this will keep it moisturized, give it shine, keep the frizz down, define the curls and keeps it really simple for him and to help with working it through and defining his curls we're going to be using a denman brush, but a very special denim Brush get your little cutesy one out, it's a denim brush, only smaller mini brush on myself, because my hair is longer. I like to use a normal size, d3 brush. But this is the d14, which is five rows and it's a little miniature and it is great for shorter lengths of hair, so we're going to start first on the sides and i'm going to brush the top kind of away. You do want to do this in sections focus on the sides. First, then, the top separately, because one they're two different lengths. You can't do them all together, they're in completely different areas of the head now, depending on what kind of look you're going for you can either smooth the hair back a lot of guys like a slicked back look. You will succeed more if your hair is shorter. For this look, but we actually like volume so, instead of brushing back and against the scalp we take, the brush out off of the scalp out in the boot lucas makes fun of my canadian accent all the time. Even though you're not perfect either you have a weird canadian accent too. I do want to make sure that the hair is wet enough, so you can see the curls naturally forming. So this is helping to clump the families of hair and, what's cool about using a brush, is you can really control what you want the curls to look like, for example, we're going to be getting a lot of volume on the sides here, but if he doesn't Want it to be really poofy in the back right in the nape here is where we would kind of brush it down a little bit. So this is the side with a brush and on this side i'll show you what it looks like with just your hands. What you don't want to do is just brush it through, like this you've got to rake and squeeze when you squeeze. It helps to clump the families together. This is what we're trying to do, what you want to do to prevent frizz, so that the hair continues to look good, as the days go on is make sure that they clump together. This is how you scrunch hair. That is long. This is how you scrunch hair - that is short, we're just scrunching the sides. This is helping the curls to curl. Now we're going to curl the top of his head and with the top of the hair, i do like to use a denman brush and especially because lucas likes a lot of volume on the top he likes the fullness. We are going to be brushing up up off of the scalp now you'll notice, i'm taking sections i'm not taking all the hair at once. Once you've brushed your section of hair, leave it off to the side. You know you don't want to be consistently brushing through it. You got to stay organized, otherwise it's going to cause frizz because we're not really going for like a heavy bang. Look you want the hair to kind of go up off of your face. I am brushing up and back beautiful now we can get rid of this, so as lucas said, because his hair has gotten so long now, it's hard for him to get away with just one product. This is the main product he puts in, but we are gon na add a little bit of gel on top, which won't make his hair crunchy he'll still be able to play with it. Just like how you saw at the beginning of this video, but it will help to keep the curls intact right right. I am not canadian, i am a human being. There are two gels i would use in his hair. One is the confixer. This is, as you mentioned, this is the liquid gel that he usually uses it's more of a medium hole. It has a very musky smell. That'S one of the reasons why i like using the aveda products for him, even the curl cream. Nothing too flowery nothing too. Fruity or too feminine smelling, it keeps it really nice and neutral for him, but it's medium hold for a strong mold. This is the flaxseed aloe gel it's another option, especially if you have more wavy hair that needs a little bit more hold, or even just hair. That has a mind of its own. This one doesn't have much of a smell. It'S less musky than this one yeah they're, both super super liquidy, which i love, love love in a gel, especially for a styling gel like we're using on short hair. It makes it super easy to work into the hair, i'm going to use the stronghold one today. Also because we are in summer - and this is glycerin free - this is how much gel we're going to use just a little dollop super liquidy, it's about a quarter size in my hand, right now now you're supposed to lick it. You already did. You were already going to lick it, but i was going to tell you something taking that gel and scrunching it if i were to prematurely go outside while it was still kind of wet. This helps me kind of like lock it in now. Do you often go outside while it is wet? No, no! I'M a good boy, you're, a good boy! I try to. I try to make sure it's dry enough to be resilient to the elements before i put it in harm's way, because otherwise, i'm just kind of you know steamrolling over any work. I'Ve done you guys should probably know that right around this camera, there is a ring light and it is literally brighter than the midday sun. It'S burning my redness right now and how amanda, how amanda and mel look at this thing for hours on end. I have no idea: do you have any goggles? Do you have any sunglasses in all here? That'S so much better, and while you give your eyes a bit of a break, i'm going to break my arms with the diffuser should be about 10 minutes um. Let'S actually time this, shall we guys it doesn't take long, it doesn't take long, but it's worth every second 10 minutes of kind of just lifting. Think of it. As lifting you, like the workout you're lifting the blow dryer around your head. Now what you absolutely cannot do is touch your hair. You need to refrain from putting your hand this thing. What do we call that just the tousle, you really don't want to do that ever, but especially not while it is drying, because otherwise you ruin all the hard work that you put into it, and if you don't touch it, you just simply hover diffuse around your Hair you get a result like this 9 minutes and 46 seconds, who said 10 minutes. I said 10 minutes and you can see how defined it is. You can see. He'S got lots of volume on top because of the way that we use the brush and now we're actually going to fluff this out, break that little bit of a crunchy cast and give him some more volume, but actually lucas. I'M going to put this one in your hands. I want you to show them exactly how you do it my hands off. Okay, you need a pick yeah. Okay, so you got this, which is apparently called the spriggle, and then we got this one, which is called the regular pick. I guess okay, thank you, so i like this one i feel, like the other one, interferes too much with the curls. This one just gets right in and under them, that's mostly because of your kind of curl as well. You'Ve got a bigger curl. Remember it's 3a 3b size. So this is really nice. It'S kind of like mimicking your fingers to get in there and pick. I don't want to move this thing too much because it's going to break apart all the locks that we got going on, so i'm just infiltrating underneath and i'm lifting and as it comes back down, the curls are resting on each other and building some more volume. It'S a simple step, but it's very gratifying. This helps get that natural look in the hair. It was almost too defined too perfect because it was so fresh and now this is where you give it its little bit of character. I grab it. I sort of scrunch it i bring it to one side. You know i make sure that it's kind of going the way i want see how he touches his hair and see how to work with short hair. You can't be aggressive and break it apart and put your fingers through it and rake through it. It'S like treating it all as a whole, so it's like more grabbing and it works yeah speaking of works. I think you really worked it. Can you just before we go, show us how you work out and also how you sleep with your hair? Oh of course, so this guy works pretty well for me. You know, i put them on my wrist and i bring them anywhere anyway. So i go ahead and i i put this thing in here not too tight and i just get it all up and away from my face and then i'm ready to do whatever i'm ready to exercise or sweat without fear of the sweat beads and the moisture On my face, breaking apart, the the curls that we've worked pretty hard to establish, then there's this: this is the sexy bed, the zazzy band, it's snazzy, it's zazzy, you put it on. You look classy! Just like this thing. This keeps the moisture on my face for messing up my hair if i'm going outside, if it's a hot day, if i'm exercising, if you're, washing your face wash my face, my skin routine, his skin routine, every night that i put him onto his skin looks great And uh it works because it really sort of blends in it doesn't look too freaky like. I even prefer this over this, because this, i don't know it makes me look like i was in like a lab and there was an explosion or something this is uh. This is my favorite one. This is for when i go to sleep, this is the bonnet. Everyone knows the bonnet, it's also for the shower. It allows me to go a bunch of days without styling, my hair, because it's like a little protective force field from both the shower and the bed, and i tend to roll over quite a bit when i sleep. So this thing comes in very handy for me. I think your hair looks amazing. I love it and i hope you guys liked today's video. We didn't have much of a plan coming out here. Besides wanting to share a little bit of his journey to, hopefully inspire any of you that are struggling with your hair, if it is anywhere near this length or if you're trying to grow it out and you're, not sure what it can do, there's a lot of Potential in there, if you see frizz, if you see flicks, you see waves and you think that your hair is uh as lucas put it.
