Sleek Low Bun | No Gel | Relaxed Hair

Hi everyone welcome back to my channel. My name is valerie, so today i'm going to be showing you how i do a slick, low bun. I actually did a ponytail, but you can turn it into a bun. It'S super easy. You have to start off with damp hair like it actually has to be freshly washed and damp. Mine was freshly deep conditioned, so i'm gon na show you what i need or what you need to make sure that this comes out well. The first thing you're going to need is your jojoba oil. It could be any oil, olive whatever i just like jojoba. For now, and then you're also going to need your leave-in conditioner, i use the tgin you're going to need a tail comb and a big comb and a scarf. Of course. I would recommend using a bandana instead of the scarf, so i'm gon na go in with my jojoba oil on one section, and it's just a little coat for all of that section, because i don't need a lot of oil. You don't want it to be like slippery, but yes, i'm gon na put in some oil and once that's done, i'm going to take my um conditioner, my leave-in conditioner, and do the same thing. So i'm going to take my rat tail comb and part my hair to the side, because i do want to side parts and i don't want to make it too deep. It'S going to be just visible and you know deep enough yeah, that's what i like. You can do whatever you want. You can do a middle part. You can do it to either side. I just prefer it to this side, but hindsight i would have done it the other side, because the edges on the side that is um not parted is kind of thin. So you see what i mean at the end, so i believe this part is crucial right, like taking the hair and tucking it behind your ears, trying to lay it down as you're doing that, trying to see if you can make it flat as flat as possible. That'S my length just in case this is your first video, so i just try to lay as flat as possible for now and, like i said, the edges at the other sides thin in a bit, so i would have done the part to the other side. If i knew, but that's okay so make sure you press the hair down as best as you can, with your palms and then, of course put it into a bun or a ponytail as you see fit, i left mine as a ponytail. You can do yours as a bun. All you have to do is tuck the ends in once. Your hair is safely tucked away in your bun or ponytail. You want to take your scarf. Like i said i would recommend a bandana instead, because the scarf is too. It'S not hard enough, it's too soft, in my opinion, so it's like a satin scarf, but i will use a rough bandana, so you want to take it and you want it tied it put it on and make it tight like really tight. You got ta tie it like you know. The church aunties tie it like at the night vigil in churches. You have to make it that tight and tied all the way to the front, because that's how you're going to get supreme results. I look like the praying aunties to be honest, don't kill me, but yeah i'm going to go ahead and set a timer for 30 minutes. If you have to be out, then you know start early or do for like 15 minutes or however long, but i've done this before and i think 30 minutes was sufficient for me. So i will see you guys once the timer is out. Okay, i am back honey and it's time to take this down. The 30 minutes is up and um yeah. So let's take it out and see how low it went. I think it went pretty low. It was really good for me considering that my hair is not fully natural anymore and it's not fully relaxed. I think this was a good good size. I have a lot of hair in the middle, so that's why it's not. The middle is not super flat because i have so much hair, but this is good enough for me, but yeah. It'S a really clean and sleek look without gel, because i hate using gel on my hair. You can see, i don't even lay my edges. That'S how much i hate gel! I don't even put it on my edges because i just don't like it but yeah. That'S how you get a sleek, low, bun or ponytail with absolutely no gel.
