Curly/ Red Hair Maintenance | Vanessa Lynn

What'S goodness game, I look crazy, probably because I literally just woke up. We are about to literally do a hair transformation. It'S much needed. I need my roots done. I haven't had a hair trim, for I want to say like a year and a half two years and it's time Trill got me what has been on my wish list for about a year now, which is some trimmer, some very special trimmers. So I'm gon na use that I'm gon na give myself a trim. Gon na touch up my hair. It is currently New Year's Eve, so I want to be cute. This is my hair. It'S super dramatic. I think the last time I watched it was like two weeks ago, so it's definitely time. I have absolutely no curl looks like it's damaged, which it's not okay, so normally, if somebody's like, we shouldn't hear all that stuff. They would do it on this kind of here. But when I tell you it's so matted, it's gon na be it's gon na. Take longer to try to part it and get the bleach on there like it's, just gon na be a hassle, so I'm gon na have to wash and detangle it and then bleach it since it is just the roots, and it's only a little bit. It'S gon na pick up. It'S no problem. I don't deep condition as much as I would like to any product that I use will be in my Amazon storefront if you care, if you're like me, and you don't deep condition as much as you would like to like your hair needs it or you're lazy. I would do it now. I started doing it when my hair gets matted like this, because it actually cuts the time that I do my hair in half. So I wet my hair and then I do the deep conditioner. Let it sit brush it all out and it's so much easier, because deep conditioner is like richer and thicker and it has more slip. So it's easier to take out versus. However, y'all doing it like putting shampoo on this right now and trying to wash it and condition it in the shower is going to be too much it's going to take so long. My hair is going to rip out, feels super thin and ready. So yeah. That'S what we're gon na do. I'M gon na take some before pictures for the thumbnail and then we're gon na get started. Okay, so I think I'm gon na start half and half I'm gon na saturate it a little bit not too much because my hair is red and it will drip everywhere. But that's why I love this continuous spray, one two and it's still going so it's so much easier on your hands when I first got my hands on one. It was like. I kid you not 15 to 16 for one of these now I just bought one for the beauty supply for 9.99. So that's really good um get you one of these, like I said, a snapping turtle and any other like hair links or promo codes that I have revolving around here. I'Ve also linked those in the description. Okay, now I'm gon na go in with this brush. This is a I know what to call this, but this is also in my Amazon stuffer. You always want to be as gentle as possible and start from the bottom up, Don't Force It if it's not going through either add more product or more water. You can add more water first, but this is going so smoothly and then, after I'm done with this, I'm just going to shampoo and condition. My shampoo has a lot of slip, so I may not need to condition because I'm already deep conditioning, but if I do have tangles after shampooing, then I'll just put a little relieving conditioner instead of regular conditioner, because I have to put leave-in conditioner anyways right after I got the shower I always put in leave-in conditioner, I'm not going to show you guys me washing my hair because it takes so much to like set up the camera. Make sure the angle is okay, make sure the foam don't fall in the water. All type of stuff, just adding water as I go, I don't want it drenching, you don't need it to be drenching, it's so crazy. How my hair would look so big and super full because of the curls, but as soon as I wash it add water to it. I feel, like I look like I make it more right, which is why I do not like straightening it. You also how fluffy this piece was and look how flat it is. Okay, in about 10 minutes, I detangled this now, I'm gon na grab my scissors right now, because I just cannot right now, it's like bothering me, but these are the scissors, especially scissors, they're sharp scissors, and it came out a lot remember to do unboxing or anything, But these are the shears that I wanted and she had to double it. You know she had a double it and she ended up giving me these, which is to like thin out here. I don't know if I'll ever use these, because my hair is already thin but like maybe if I was cutting somebody's hair, so anyways I'm going to take out the scissors, and I don't know, let me put this down a little bit. There are certain pieces that are like randomly long like I don't know if y'all can tell but like this is really long and scraggly and it does not belong. So I need to cut that this. I don't know if you guys can tell but like the end of it is super thin yeah. You guys are not gon na be able to tell, but it's it gets like super thick and then it just starts to get super thin. So if it was to get your hair cut professionally, they would make it all thick like that. Like a blunt cut, they would not allow your hair to get super thin at the end, and that is gon na also mind you, I'm not a professional, but I have gone to a ton of professional curly, hair, stylists and part of the reason why they're really Expensive is that they educate you and they teach you things. So this is what I've learned but yeah they do this, because not only is it getting rid of the split ends, but it is going to help your hair become so much easier to detangle and therefore manage and brush out and all that stuff. So I've been dying to go to curly hairstyles but, as you all know, I moved recently and I have not had the time to find one get along trust, one. The last time that I've been to a salon. I had like a horror experience, so I you know I was a little bit discouraged, but now that I got these scissors I kept putting it off. I don't even know when I was gon na buy it. It'S like one of those things. That'S so expensive and you're just like Ugh. Is it worth it? Obviously you want it, but, like you rather give somebody else something. So these I'm so excited about you're not going to a hair stylist, so I was paying no less than 150. That was the minimum. I was usually paying on average 400, so sometimes I pay more, sometimes I'll pay less, and these are gon na pay for itself like two cups. So it's a great investment. I'M so glad that I have when you go to a curly hair stylist. They have you come in with your hair dry and then they see how your curls fall stuff like that, and then they cut your hair while it's dry right now. I am just doing whatever I see out of the ordinary while it's wet. So then, when it's dry I'll look again and see what needs to be cut, my hair is in layers so yeah, I'm gon na keep that in mind all right, y'all it's night time, which is why the lighting changed, but all I did was leave in the Deep conditioner for about 20 minutes after I finish applying everything - and I did not do anything else - I did not add any product. My hair is completely like productless and it's just been drying for about like two hours. I use a microfiber towel to dry. It a little bit, but this is what it looks like in the back, it's so uneven, but, like I said I had layers, but it just sits weird, so I'm definitely probably gon na get scissor happy after I touch up my roots since I have to bleach The roots and then apply the color again to my roots, I figure I might as well just touch up the whole whole entire color, because I don't wash my hair often either. So it's gon na drive me crazy if my roots are Super Fresh and then the rest of my hair isn't. This is where I would go in with the shears and see if they don't curl at the bottom, then that means they're damaged or split, so they got ta go she wan na, be in the video, so bad and say: hey, hi. Okay, now go finish! Your food also, I noticed that my bangs are like dang near non-existent. My hair grows really fast, so constantly I'm using like regular scissors to like trim my hair, but, like I said I don't want to do too much because I don't want it to ever split or just be like an ugly unhealthy cut. But this is all I have and my bangs are supposed to be Fuller than this. So I have to redo that, but I'm not gon na touch my bangs until I go through the bleach process, because bleach will weigh down your hair and stuff like that. So I'm gon na wait until I got product in it, but this is normally when you will go to a professional, curly, hair stylist. They want you to go freshly washed, just wash and go don't put any product just to see how your hair lays, and I'm just now noticing like how uneven it is that is so cringe coming from somebody who's, always getting making sure her hair's done. I don't think I'm gon na get ready today, because everybody started to flake last minute. So I'm glad I did not do my makeup or have like a very special outfit, even though all I have to do is wear it and then pretend like. I did something and post it, but I do not like flexing like if I'm not going out, I'm not wasting an outfit for the internet like no there's so many outfits that I just have accumulated that are like so fancy over the years. But I refuse to wear it unless I do something, especially because I never really do much so I'm really cutting off like the more straighter Parts. I don't want to cut like all of it off because maybe after I wash it again, it will be revived, but y'all saw that I literally just did a deep condition, so it's giving if it was alive it wouldn't have been so dead. Looking I wish I could see like under a microscope but like if you look at your hair and you stare at it and you focus on it, you will see like split ends, you'll see, like all the white dots on your hair. That means your end is unhealthy, so I'm just going through like every curl, because why not? These scissors are expensive, so I'm gon na put them to use. Oh, my God. It'S so satisfying literally I'm cutting the whole entire white part off of the tip of my hair, and it looks so healthy. So this is actually the next day. I ended up eating and you know New Year's things, but I'll be back the next day. Still no product, this is how fluffy it gets. If I have product in my hair, it would take probably like three four days before to get this poofy any like straight hair since I've cut it. So that's great now I'm going to do the roots, but I need help I'm going to have Trio help me. I can do it myself. Well, I can do like the front by myself, so I'd rather just get help. So I can hurry up and move to the next step, which is the color touch up and then put the products in my hair. So for everybody who asked me like? What do you do to get your hair that Curly, it's like literally, I just wash it like. I just it yeah. I didn't record the process, but the roots are very much light. Oh, except for this one little piece she did the back for me. I did the front now, I'm going to wash it out and then apply the hair color. Now it looks like the hair that I previously had with the blonde Roots. It'S kind of cute kind of cute, but it's not what we're going for anymore. So the color I use is this: it's by X, Mondo, color, Brad, Mondo's line. It says super red, but I actually mixed three colors, which I'll put in the description and also put my link, because I have an affiliate link for this, but it literally feels like butter when I put it in so I have nothing in my hair right now. I don't even have liquid conditioner, because this is super duper moisturizing, so I'm gon na put some gloves on because it can get a little bit messy and then later on. I have to take off my nails because I broke when play fighting with trail yesterday. I should probably pop them off now, because not top them off. I would never rip them off now that I'm a nail type. Can I know what to what not to do, but I don't have the Clippers with me right now. Actually, okay, let me go ahead and clip these off because they not fitting in this. I'M not! Oh. I really love this nail a lot. You know one of the diamonds fell off perfect. Now I can start a new set for y'all. Okay. Now I can do the color. All I got ta do is split my hair in four sections. Thank you. Foreign s are looking great. These are a couple scraggly ones, but I think that's because I didn't sleep with a bonnet last night, but other than that it looks good. I actually did my edges the edges tutorial, so if that's not out yet look forward to that but yeah. So this is how my hair lays naturally. So this is what it's all pulled to the front, and then this is what it looks like in the back and it looks better today than I feel like it did when I first cut it because remember this looks just super blunt versus this side, so I'm Gon na cut it because I have no bangs and I love bangs the way that I do my edges, I kind of don't need them. I originally started getting bangs because I just thought it was so cute. All the curly head bodies had it and then I just did not like my five head, but I started doing edges and that made it so much better. Now that my hair is completely dry and I can see what I'm working with it looks pretty fine, but I still want to add a couple more layers. I don't want to touch any of my length, like I said before, and let's come to the big mirror. So I can have a good look of what I'm looking at I'm just going to play with my hair. I'M not doing it perfect because I have curly hair and my hair is Curly 100 of the time I never straighten it. So I don't have to worry about anything being, even I'm just going to pull out as much hair as I would prefer in the front of my face disclaimer. I am not a hairstylist. I don't have my license, but I do my hair myself. Unless I'm doing something like dramatic with where I just don't trust myself, I will get it done, but I've spent hundreds and thousands of dollars in the curly hair salon and lots of research. So when you're getting a curly haircut, they usually do it by Loops, like they'll. Do like one Loop, two loops and that's really it versus going to get a regular haircut and they may not be curly hair certified. They might just cut it wet and just cut off basically like what they think they should cut off like an inch and depending on your curl type. That could be a lot of length and that could be a little bit of length. But that's the perfect thing about cutting it when it's dry, those were straight hair. So that's why I cut it. So, basically, I'm only going to touch the top of my hair, I'm not going to touch any of this at the bottom and I usually do not part my hair, because you don't have a part. I just let it fall. However, it falls like I'll just have like basically a little dot in the middle. This is essentially how much bangs I would want, or how my hair would fall, I'm going to cut further than I would like to, because you can always keep cutting. You can never add. This side has always been flatter than this side, so anytime, that I would do my hair, half and half. I would be so frustrated because they never looked alike and I used to think that one side is more damage than the other, but it's always been that way. I just haven't really paid attention, except for like the last year or two and also the longer your hair gets the looser your girl tends to get because of the weight of this strand of hair fun. Fact, if you didn't know now, you know but yeah, I'm just gon na add music to this, because there's nothing that I could really say. I'M just doing this fluffing it out to see how it would lay once it's fluffed, nothing too crazy, foreign foreign. So this is the finished product. This is what I felt like. I was comfortable with. I am so happy with this. This is the best haircut that I've ever had. I could see a difference. I don't know if you guys can tell a difference, but for the most part both sides are pretty much. Even this side is cut a little bit more to match this side because, like I said, this side is more droopy and I can't really tell anymore so that is a plus in my eyes, I'm gon na flip the camera. The baby just woke up from a nap, but this is what it looks like um from the outside. Looking in, I don't want to fluff it any more than it already is because I want I want it to last as long as possible, but usually I would like tease this and it would be even bigger, but I like how it's left. Naturally, this is what it would essentially look like if I just did a wash and go it's just a little bit more fluffier, because I was playing with it and making sure everything fell where it needs to fall I'll just turn up the saturation, because it was Just so dark, this is what it looks like from the side. It looks very even literally like the perfect, like it's, it has body, it has length and it has volume this side. It has by the way I took off from the Faja, because I'm about to make a tick, tock, video and probably behind the scenes, video for YouTube on my main Channel, but it looks perfect on this side as well. I actually like the way this side lays. I like them both this size a little bit flatter but, like I said, this side is naturally flatter, but I feel like unless I want it to look weird in different angles like I just need to leave it alone. I don't want to go super scissor. Happy. Ignore these Frozen Foods, I needed it because I just got extremely itchy after taking off the fire. So this is all that I cut off literally it looks. It probably looks like more than what it is because it's all fluffy and dry, but this is pretty much a good amount of hair. All I did was touch it up and trim it. So I cut my length when I usually get my hair done. They usually cut the ends, a lot, a lot not necessary. So I feel like every time I cut it, I'm back to the length and shape that I was at the previous cut, which I would get a cut every 6 to 12 months, and it just felt like it was never growing. So now that I have my own scissors, I feel like this is going to be super beneficial and I'm just going to continue to keep getting the longest hair in, like the best shape possible next month is February, which marks two years since I've ever straightened. My hair, I'm doing it for Content purchases only. I do not like my hair straight, but it's probably gon na look a little bit crazy because of all of these layers. But it's fine, because my hair is Curly 100 of the time, but yeah keep a lookout for that video. The last time I did a hair straightening video. It was like my first time trading it in five years and that went super viral. So, let's see what happens with this one? Yes baby! Oh I'm hungry! Okay, I'm about to cook I'm entering the video right now. I want some some cereal okay, so you don't want pasta. You want cereal, yes, okay, yeah!
