My Go-To Easy Top Knot Curly Hairstyle - Natural Hair Tutorial By Lana Summer

Hey it's fun here and today I wan na show you guys a hairstyle that I usually wear on 3rd or 4th day hair when my hair has been in a bun like right now, my hair has been in this bun for days like I don't even know How long like I have not been keeping track, so what that means is that my hair is all stretched out like the coals, have been stretched and they're all kind of just like you know they just look like this. Like you know, what am I supposed to do with this right now I don't wash my hair and what I would usually do is this hairstyle. So I showed you guys on Instagram. I asked you if you wanted a tutorial, and you said yes, so that's what we're gon na do. The first thing that I need to do is take my hair down if you're wondering how I put this up is because of this little clip. So what that it's, not as bad as I thought this is gon na be ok. My hair is kind of frizzy all over I've got these pieces that have been all stretched out. My head, those feel a little bit dry, so I'm just gon na add some moisture. This is the karekare hair milk. I'Ve got too much of my hands. It'S dripping everywhere. I'M just gon na run that all through my hair, not just the pieces of hair that we're leaving out just because it's not gon na be on show does not mean that it doesn't also need some love, so we're gon na do the same thing. On this side so much experience, I always tried to detangle my hair a little bit. I see pieces like this and it looks so tangled up. I just have to fix those up a little bit now we can get on with actually doing the hairstyle. So the first thing you want to do is section your hair off for this hairstyle, I'm pretty much go in a straight line line up. It'S gon na come from the top of my ear and it's gon na go up. We want the same. On the other side want that straight line going up this, so, as you can see, I have about maybe 1/3 of my hair is up, so it ends just at my crown and the rest of it is gon na stay down. So I tried to get this parting to be as straight as possible. So here's a pro tip for you if you find that if you're doing a head start like this, like sometimes pieces of hair, that you don't want to be in the ponytail end up in the ponytail. Well, they end up getting stuck and twisted around a ponytail because they kind of snuck in there at the last minute, and it gets really annoying. So to avoid that what I like to do is to just put it into a bun or something just keep out. The way clip it out of the way any way that you can just upward that happening cuz. It'S really really annoying. Then, when you have this part of your hair, you're gon na want to figure out whereabouts. You want it on your head, so I want mine to be really high up. I'M just gon na pull it forward so that it's sitting right on top of my head and then I'm gon na take this little. It'S got hair in it. Sorry! So then, I'm gon na take this and I'm actually gon na brush this all up, so I'm not actually trying to detangle it or anything, I'm just literally just trying to get it to lay flat like this. Now you do the same on this side, so it really doesn't have to be too tangled. I actually don't want it to be tangled, because I want to keep some of these curls in the top knot. I don't want to be able brushed out. I'M literally combing. This vertical, like up as high as it can go, let's reach the sky with this top knot and then another thing that I like to do before. I actually tie this up, so I can just kind of let it go because my hair just stays in place. When I do this, I'm gon na take some edge control. I'M actually gon na put that all through my hand, not just the edges. So this is the karekare edge tamer. So now we can take that ponytail back up again again, just brush it up or should I say comb it up, because this is a coyote brush. I'M really sorry guys. I hope that that doesn't confuse you, because I always use the word brush and comb interchangeably like I do know the difference between a brush and a comb. It'S just. I always just switch up when I use them. I don't know why. So then you just want to take a little ponytail, so I'm using this one, because I know that this one is pretty tight. I only have to put it around, maybe two or three times in this little ponytail. So that's what I'm gon na do so. Obviously, try to keep this as Center as possible. You don't want any wonky top knots going on this one. I did actually put it around four times, just because I want this, we're really tight. I feel like this looks better when it's tighter, so then for the top knot. I actually only want to put this really loose, so I'm not gon na be putting this around tightly at all. So I'm just you know just gon na wrap it around really like loose like this, and then I'm just going to use bobby pins to pin it down and find out where I want it to go. So you guys are gon na. Have to tell me what this looks, wonky or not cuz. I can't tell from here now I'm actually gon na take this shock waves. Ultra strong power hold gel for my edges, so I use this a little while ago and I actually really liked how it turned out. So I'm just gon na dab that onto my edges, I hate my hairline so much because my hairline is actually like so wonky and then I've just got this patch here where there's like no hair, like I'm bald here. If anybody has any tips for laying edges where there's a cow's neck, then let me know so now I'm going to use this ribbon to help my edges stay flat. So the way that I do, that is to just lay it onto my edges like this and then just tie it around. By doing this, it just means that my hair is going to stay flat while it dries. So I'm not gon na find that it's gon na start crumpling up or something as it loses moisture. So it's just gon na dry like this as blood as it can. So, while that's drying, I'm just gon na work on the rest of my hair, you know a little bit of h2o the best color finer for me. So when you don't with the rest of your hair, now you can go ahead and take this ribbon off there. We go edges allayed. I usually also like to pick these bits as well, because I like for there to be a bit of volume coming out, try to get into full forwards, so they cover up the pod thing. Then that's why I like to do so. There you have it. This is the final look. Is it just me, or do we literally do the most to our hair on the day, so we can't be bothered to wash it. This is my go-to hairstyle for when I'm running late or if somebody is beyond me, a last-minute invite to somewhere. If I've got commitment, I totally forgot about.
