Wet & Wavy Short Hair Tutorial

Hey guys all is a will and amazing. I know it's been a while, since I've actually done a hair tutorial, so I am here with my plastic cap to do one today. I bet you're wondering okay. What does she have this plastic cap on for usually she's? Her hair is molded flat, but I've gotten so many requests for so many months about how I do that kind of curly wavy wet style. So I finally had the time to shoot that video, because right now - because I am - I don't - wear my hair like that - a whole lot - I namely wear it like if I'm running out the house, if I wake up late and my scarf is on the other Side of the bed and my hair is a mess you know I'll just do it with my hair going to shower and all that so um. Today I was like okay. I worked out yesterday. Well, actually I shampooed my hair. The day before shampoo did style. Did all of that - and it was fine when it worked out against today - tried to fix the style. It was okay, but I don't like my hair feeling, greasy or sticky. So today I was like huh, I'm not going out with my hair, like that. I am going to do the curly style, so that's why I decided to shoot the video as well, but anyway, so to get this curly wavy style that you guys have saw on my social media and, most recently on in my sprouts haul video. You are going to need a wet head, so this is after it out of the shower. I just put a cap on to my make up on hair. I don't have anything on it. It'S Jam put it in the shower, so a wet head you're going to need your favorite conditioner mine is the clean and clear active damage or juice that resists the ultra nourishing conditioner. So I put this on I'm um. This is optional, but I like it just to add some moisture to this style. It is some coconut oil. I know I love my coconut oil um, this you're going to need eco styling gel people, wonder how I accomplished this style. I used to just do it with the regular brown gel, but I was like. I had an epiphany one day and I was like okay. If natural girls use this to create the curl pattern in their hair - and I use on some clients who are natural and we do like the short style you know, then maybe I can use this to manipulate the curl a little bit too. So I got eco styler gel and last but not least, just some hairspray. This is optional as well, oh and also a rat so calm. So what you're going to do? My hair is wet, like I said, and my hair is about an inch and a half two inches, not so short, and I just recently cut my hair again, so this is a fresh pixie. I cut it I think last week or something like that and now, if your hair is really long honestly, it's not going to work like this style is not going to work. I can't tell you how it's going to work. It'S just not. I'Ve had my hair longer where the longer bang and it didn't look as cute as what it was shorter. So just letting you know if your hair is longer like this long. It'S not gon na you're not going to get the same wave effect as though is if it was short so yeah. So I'm going to take my conditioner, you can take a generous amount and I use conditioner mainly because this is what I've always done and I just leave the conditioner in so now. I can even type situation deep conditioner. You know it doesn't. I have not had any issues with it harming me or anything like that, so I got the conditioner or, and then I'm going to take some of my coconut oil just a little probably that much like I said this is just to added moisture in the hair. So take the coconut oil rub that all in and then this is the good-good you going to take your eco styler gel. If I can open it, because my hands are now crazy, ego, styling gel take - and one thing I find especially with this product - use a generous amount in order to get what you want some people, you know they like owning my curls weren't defined like that, like Especially natural hair and I'm like you, have to really work the product in, so I'm just going to put it on my fingertips and I'm just dragging it through and just kind of working it through a little bit more just drive it through some more and put It on you'll eat just like so yes, this is how I kind of start, I'm just kind of roll, the back cause, it's shorter, so just kind of roll it and it's going to kind of create like a manipulated kind of curl style or curl she's, like Alright, so then, how I style the front is take a little bit of gel on the comb or whatever, and just kind of I do is I kind of just fake finger wave or whatever, like that, just kind of making like a wave pattern in the front Of your hair, why it's like really bright in front of you! So hopefully I'm doing it go get my hand we regress, and usually I go quicker with this, but since I'm doing it for you guys, I'm going a little bit slower. So all right for the edges, sure these days is good. Trying to balance this they're on my lap too much drinking too much OOP, damn alright! So creating this kind of wave pattern in the front wait a little sideburns like did my sidebars dried out a little bit but whatever so it's not as fluid as I would like for it to be. We going to do the other side and, like I said this is not perfect, but this is not at all a perfect hairstyle, it's more of one of those styles. Where I need some. I think my hair look right and for it's hot outside I'm not trying to do all of that. So we're doing this, so it's like a perfect summer style, vacation style. I know it's August. People are doing their last-minute vacations, and you know before the school year starts, for some states and Atlanta has already started so right and then, after that, that's why I kind of comb everything through a little bit. This is how I achieved the rest of the style. I have one more thing: I'm going to show you how to just in case you have like what I'm experiencing right now my hair's getting a little dry. So alright. So the last thing that I do use, sometimes, if I'm experiencing some dryness, because my hair is shorter - I'm going to dry out a little quicker is I use the Nairobi or the new Atris foam and it's just kind of wets it up a little bit more. So just put that on there a little bit and it will dry clear. So don't worry about it, you know - or you can just add back water, but I didn't want to add water back to this. So just calm everything back like that, and then this is awesome. I do I take my comb and I like this, try that over I go like this I'll just push everything forward. I'M like a scratch now remember the scrunch scrunch everything for it does not have to be perfect. It'S literally what I do Scott you scrunch it to where lens with the front whip this after our scrunch. I just kind of took my hair and just with my fingers, you just blend play with it and have one date so, like I scratch it, I just kind of manipulate it even more like that just kind of tuck in those little strip pieces, because my hair Is relaxed like people ask me, like all the time are natural or relaxed. I am all the way relaxed creamy crack yeah yeah. I am all the way relaxed creamy crack, I'm not ready for natural. Just yet. I, like my hair in the pixie style, and not all hair textures, can accomplish pixie without a relaxer. My hair texture is definitely not one of those so and I sweat very easily - and I, like my hair to lay down and just on being completely honest, being natural with short hair. Sometimes, when you sweat, your style is ruined pretty quick, so I'm just not ready for that more power to those that do so, but I'm not ready for that. So what I did was, I just took a little bit more following manipulated it some more and I think, look at it. I was scared. I wasn't able to give you guys this video Liz. You know because when I do it in the mirror, my self is like a certain way, but you know just doing it really quick. But when you slow stuff down, sometimes it's kind of like you, don't get the same effect, but because it very good and sometimes honestly, like when your hair is nappy and it's like almost relaxer time. You get a better effect, but my hair is a little straighter. Color, I just do relaxed or a couple weeks ago, so it's not as curly as it would usually be, but it's still cool. So this is what I do and just you know kind of play with it. You know you can fix it up. How are you see fit um, I usually just let it air-dry um. You can go under the dryer if you feel like it, but I usually just let it air dry and that's it um. This is definitely at least not for me. This is not a style that lasts more than a day. So, if I want to do this again, I would just literally wet my hair and go through the process again. The next day I make shampoo at once again - and you know then put my conditioner and do the steps over and over so yeah. This is it. This is how I do my little fake natural style, curly style, with no heat or anything like that. So it's you know pretty easy um, you can add hairspray if you like, and that's it. It'S really like it's so easy. If I think you guys will enjoy it, it's fun um. I enjoy it, especially when I'm trying to get out the house never ever work. Something like that um I enjoyed it. It'S still a polished. Look like I don't look a hotness or I don't have to wear a hat, because I don't like wearing hats to work um. You know that's just my preference so when, if my hair is not done, I can do this and I still look like. Oh, you have some sort of a style and people like it. You know they think it's a real hairstyle like, oh I'm like. Obviously, this is just something quick that you can do at home, so I hope you guys like umm yeah.
