How I Style My Curly Hair | Perm

Hey babies, its Keanu, welcome back to my channel. So today I'm going to be teaching you how I style my curly hair. I do have a spiral perm. I have thick hair and I believe that my hair is more on the lower side of the porosity scale. So there's three different products that I like to use in my hair and I do my hair in a very specific way. My voice is a little bit funky still. I just got my tonsils out it's about a week ago. I'M doing really really well, but I'm pronouncing things a little bit differently, I'm still working on that and figuring out. You know like how to produce sound, but the style of this video is going to be more of like a get ready with me and we're in my bathroom right now, and I'm going to set you guys up in front of me and we're going to talk About the products that I use and why and I'll show you guys how I do my hair, so the first thing that I do when it is wash day is I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner and detangle in the shower, and then I do a Deep conditioning mask for about 20 minutes or so, and that just helps me make sure that all the tangles are out, because my hair is thick. It is very tangling and I do all of that in the shower, and then I wrap it up with a microfiber towel. Heaven forbid, if I use a regular towel, my hair will be so so frizzy, it's not fun. So I love my microfiber towel. It'S very soft, and it's very gentle on the hair, so definitely recommend using a microfiber towel for your curly hair. So I'm gon na take my hair down and I just like to take my towel and set it in front of me. So I can wipe off my hands when her product all over them. So this is what my hair looks like right now and before I do anything I like to move my hair into a rough part. I don't like my hair to have a straight part in it. I like it to be a little bit mismatched and a little bit messy, because if it's a straight part I don't know, I feel, like I get a little bit more frizz and it looks a little bit better when the part is messy. So this is where I'm at with my part and now because my hair has been wrapped up in a towel, it's pretty dry. I like to apply my products to my hair, soaking wet. It prevents frizz. For me, my hair is, you think, there's a lot of it. There'S a lot of frizz. So for me to combat that, I just soak my hair down with a spray bottle. I have this one from the dollar store. It was a dollar best purchase over okay. So now that my hair is basically it's soaking wet, I like to be able to hear like the squishy sound in my hair and that's how I know that it's wet enough for what I need to do so. The first product that I like to apply is a leave-in conditioner. This one is by Shane moister. It is the jamaican black, castor oil strength and restore leave-in conditioner. I love this leave-in conditioner. It smells so good and it really does make my hair a lot softer on day 3 for hair. I can still tell that I have this in my hair, so it must last and leave an impression on my hair and my hair, just soaks it up. So I definitely recommend this. If you have thick curly hair, it's probably a little bit too heavy for thinner hair, because you can see that this is pretty thick stuff. So I take about this much of the product and I rub it in my hands like this. So it is evenly distributed in my hands and I will do this side of my hair, this side of my hair and then the back of my hair. I don't worry about dividing my hair into sections or anything like that. It wastes time I am more efficient with just running my fingers through my hair. Alright, then, the next product that I like to go in with is a curl cream. This one is my favorite. This is from Shea Moisture and is the coconut and hibiscus curl and styling milk with silk protein and neem oil. So this curl cream again, I would suggest that this is for thick hair, because this product is thicker. If you have thin hair, it will weigh your hair down, but I really really enjoy this product. I'Ve used a couple different curl creams, and I always come back to this one because it does give me hold some of the other curl creams that I've used have absolutely no hold in them, and then they just make my hair like soft and fluffy. And when I want my hair to last all week without having to go back and wash it again and apply more products, I need something that has a lot of hold in it. So I do like the crunch. This gives me a little bit of crunch in my hair. The other thing I don't like about this product is: it is so hard to get it out of the frickin bottle, because you have to turn her own and shake it, and then you can still see how's like a little bit of a bubble there. You have to squeeze it so hard. This product needs different packaging, so I put about this much product and I do the same thing where I do this out of my hair, the side of my hair. In the back of my hair and again I go like this a little bit of praying hands and then I go in and I rake it through the rest of my hair, and I tend to keep this more on the ends of my hair or the curliest Part of my hair, just because, if I put it on the top of my hair, it is pretty thick, so it weights my hair down a bit. So I keep this more towards the bottom last product that I like to go in with is a gel. I prefer a gel over a mousse. However, I am testing out a new mousse that I just bought, but this is my favorite gel that I have used so far. It is the Aussie instant freeze, gel 20 hour max hold. I really like this gel. It lasts. A long time in my hair, probably about two days or so, and then on the third day I'll, have to wet my hair and put in a little bit more gel. But that's more than I've experienced with other gels. I'D like to try some diva curl products and see how those gels work, but this is fun, but this is five dollars compared to twenty four dollars for the other gels that I'm talking about um. So I really like this. This is curly girl, friendly without, like the silicones and the sulfates, and all that jazz along with my other products, did you have products that are not curly girl friendly, but heaven forbid, I will put any silicones in my hair, because that makes a cast over my Hair - and I can't get it out because I do not use a sulfate shampoo, so this is a good product to use if you're following the curly girl method. So how I like to do this is I like to go in with my Denman brush and I go around and I define all of the curls on my head. This also helps me to make sure that everything is detangled, because my hair does get very tangled. Very fast, so I'll just go around and I'll take a piece of hair I'll brush it outwards and then I'll spin it at the very end. And what this does is it separates my curl as it's going through my hair and then, when I let go with that spin, it clumps up the hair all together, so I'm gon na have big chunky curls instead of little like stringy curls. That helps me a lot because I do have a perm and my curls are more stringy. So by using this brush, I have more curl clumps and I curly hair looks more natural. Well, I would highly recommend a Denman brush and makes my curl clumps absolutely beautiful and girls with naturally curly hair see the same results so completely. I would completely recommend it they're about 15 dollars or so for the brand Denman, and I got mine at Sally's Beauty. So I don't know if you can tell the difference or not, but I can tell the difference already well, my hair is wet, but my curls are just way more defined with using the Denman brush and wipe off her hands and then we're going to go in With the gel about that much - and I do the same thing - I do this side, this side, the back and then I'll flip my hair over and I'll do the inside of my hair, just because I do wear my hair like this all week without washing it. I need a lot of gel in my hair to make sure that at least some of my curls are still together by the end of the week, and I always do my gel with praying hands. So I have gel in both hands and I run them together to smooth out my hair that helps me smooth frizz, I'm going to go in with a little bit of product in my head and I scrunch my hair from the bottom and now I'm going to Flip my hair over with about this much of gel and run it on the inside of my hair. Now I like to diffuse my hair. I have an infinity Pro Connor with the diffuser attachment. I like this diffuser because it is a bowl with the teeth on there. That helps me get a little bit more volume. I diffuse my hair upside down for about 15 minutes and then I flip my hair up and diffuser right side up for 15 minutes. This gives me more volume and I always like to gather my curls in the bowl and push them up and that helps my hair shrink up a lot. I know some people don't like a lot of shrinkage, but I like my curls to be as define as possible and putting my curls in the bowl, while that your dryer is going and pushing them up towards my head gives me the most shrinkage as possible. I start on high heat high power when my hair is flipped over and I hover my dryer around my head that helps the gel form a little bit of a cast in my hair dry, a little bit before I'm going in and touching my hair with the Diffuser so my hair slipped over, I do the hover method with air dryer high heat high power, then I'll switch it to medium power, high heat and all my hairs flipped over I'm going to do the gather the hair push it up, gather more hair push it Up well, it's on medium heat and after about 15 minutes, we flip the hair back over still on medium, no still on medium power, high heats I'll do the same thing gather the hair push it up, gather the hair and push it up, and after about 30 Minutes my hair is dry because I think that my hair is on the lower porosity side. It does take my hair a long time to dry. I also have a lot of hair, so it's about a 30 minute process and I will come back when my hair is finished drying. So at the end of my heat diffusing, I used a cool shot and that helps me set my curls so that they shrink up with the heat that I've been using. So the cool shot, just kind of like smooths over everything, make sure it stays in the same place, my curls done in long gates. That'S why I like to do that um. This is what my hair looks like right now. It is probably about 95 % dry. There'S some little patches that are just a little bit wet, but it's not that big of a deal. My hair is very, very crunchy, and that is because of all of the gel that I used and the curl cream that I use does have hold in it. So my hair is very crunchy and now we're going to scrunch out the crunch, so don't like to scrunch out to all of the crunch. In my hair I like to leave some of it because again I do wear my hairstyle all week long so on day. One my hair does look a little bit crunchy but honestly, like it, saves me so much time if I can get my hair to last for a whole week and I can keep refreshing my hair for a whole week. Um so doesn't make that much of difference. I was using the Aussie curl oil. I believe that's why it's called and when I was scrunching out the crunch, I would put it in my hands and scrunch out my hair and that would leave my ends very soft and very pretty. But then I realized that the oil had Dometic hone in it, which is a silicone and again I don't use silicones or sulfates because they're just not good for your hair, so I just continued using their product and eventually I think I'm gon na get another oil Because I really liked the look and that the oil gave the ends of my hair and made them look very soft and not very crunchy, and that was something that was very pretty so I'll have to find an oil that doesn't have silicones in it. But after a quick search on Ulta, it seems that a lot of curly hair oils have silicone at home, so I'm gon na have to look a little bit harder. This point I like to gather for different bobby pins and I pin my bangs back or the part that's in my face, because if I leave it like this yeah, I can kind of like push it to the side. But it just comes right back and that's a pain in the butt. All day alone is my hair, so thick and just doesn't have anywhere to go um. So I like to take this front section about that. Much of my hair, so just kind of like, what's in front of my face, not the thickness going back, if that makes any sense and I'll take this and all smooth it and I'll bring it straight back. I don't like to bring it to the side, because that makes my hair, like my head, a little bit more square cuz. I kind of have like a novalee rectangle like face and bringing it to the side, isn't quite work for my face. So I like to bring it up and back and then I'll take my bobby pins and I'll do across and then I do the same thing on this side, but with a little bit less hair because my part is closer to this side. So there's less hair on the side, so I will take about this much and then pin it, and then this is what the front of my hair looks like and what the back of my hair looks like so just in different lighting. This is where we are at with the hair a little bit of crunch, not too bad. You can see the crunch little bits, but this is just a one hair by day, two there's absolutely no crunch in the hair, so I hope that you guys enjoyed coming with me to watch how I style my curly hair, my perm. I really enjoy washing my hair and putting all the products in it and styling it. It does take a long time, probably takes me about an hour and a half to do this, just because I have so much hair in my hair, like so much product, and it takes so long to dry, my hair. But that's why? I only do it once a week, but yeah. Thank you guys for coming with me and watching the video. I hope that you have an absolutely wonderful rest of your day. Do not forget to subscribe, and I will see you later bye beauties.
