What'S good y'all, it started alginate money back again with another video and make sure you guys follow all my social media. It'S right here on the screen and just make sure that you subscribe. So you can join the gym nation because you know we let out here period so for today's video I'm going to be show you guys how to get this ponytail look, you know sleek, but it's curly and we're gon na be using braiding hair. So it's really simple: this is the hair that I'm using. I just got at my local beauty supply store. Um. I'Ve used this ponytail hair like a couple of times, so it's a little, you know, but we can take this hair tie and just wrap it around, and you know I just washed my hair in the shower. So if you know you know, but basically you're just gon na wrap it around like loop, it around the hair and then you're gon na take one of the sides and pull it through the other. So I don't know if I'm explaining it well, but you can kind of see you're just gon na pull it through and then once you let it go and pull it tight and that's basically all you need to do for the ponytail like it's really really easy. Um yeah, so this is our ponytail, like I said I just washed my hair, so I'm gon na start off by parting it. So you know I like a good side part, it's basically all I'm doing and she's gon na comb and the product that I have in my hair. It'S the Cantu coconut cream, and then I saw this like gel. Somebody used it on YouTube and it's the wetland gel you can get at Walmart, it's really cheap. So I was like you know what let me try it um. It gets the job done, but it doesn't compare it to my equal gel, so I'm gon na use it cuz. I bought it, but it's it's nothing special really, but basically I'm just putting that all around my hair cuz. You know I'm gon na try to starts leaking it down. So basically all I do is I use aloe vera like the liquid one. You can get it at Walmart. They have like a big gallon of it and I'm just using that with the gel and I'm just taking my Denman brush and brushing through my hair, it's kind of slick it down, because you know you don't want to have to blow-dry your hair, all the time Or straighten your hair just to get a sleep ponytail, so you know using the hard bristle brush as well to smooth it all in, and you can also take like your comb like a fine-tooth comb and comb through your hair, like as you smooth it down to Make sure that it's really flat, I'm not sure if I did that in this video, but I do that sometimes so yep just going all around with the brush, smoothing it down yeah. So one of the ways that I make sure I'm getting my hair into a nice sleek ponytail is that I put it in a loose. Ponytail first put a little bit more gel on my hands. You know spray with the aloe vera and just brush it in. Like this, this way I can really focus focus on having it smooth. Can I get a quick wave check out here, like you know, but y'all only been in for a couple of minutes and we already seen those waves come throw. So you know, they've got ta be lit, but basically I'm just taking my little edge brush and I'm gon na clean up the part, because the comb is really tiny. So it makes really easy. And then I'm gon na do like a rough kind of a we'll call it a rough draft. All my edges before, like I really go in and do them at the end. So now that all of that is done, I'm just gon na be taking out the like loose ponytail that I have before, and I'm gon na go in and make sure it's really tight and really doing like the actual ponytail. Now, obviously, though, you want to make sure it's not too tight, cuz we're not here for the headaches, it's okay, we're not trying to lose our edges, but just making sure that it's like sleek, you know, I'm just gon na be taking my scarf and tying my Edges down so that the part that we slicked down we'll lay our edges, we'll lay and everything will be nice and smooth while we work on the actual ponytail part. Also, I didn't say this before, but I'm doing it right after I wash my hair. So my hair is wet cuz. I feel like it's easier to slick your hair back when it's wet, I'm just gon na be detangling, my hair with a wide tooth comb, and now I'm gon na show you guys how I blend my hair into like the ponytail. Here so you don't see mine, so basically, I'm just gon na take out a little section and tie this up and the footage for this got cut off. But I'm gon na show you guys again. So it's fine, I'm basically just combing through the hair with a fine-tooth comb so that it's really you know not free the hair can be really nice and smooth. I'M saying the hair like a stopper here, so that my hair can be nice and smooth. I'M also going to be putting a little bit more of that gel on it, so that again it's smooth - and this is where I'm going to start using a little bit of the hair. So I take like strands and I'm gon na be braiding it into my hair. Basically so, like I said, I got cut off, I did a few, but I'm gon na be showing you guys the last few, so I'm taking a small section same thing: tying it up well tie up the other part and then combing through smoothing it out with A little bit of gel so once I take the hair, I'm gon na wrap it around the little section of my hair and I'm gon na you know make sure it's as tight as I can get it. And then you know I'm not too too good with the whole braiding thing, but you know I get it done. I get it done, so I'm basically just gon na be taking like splitting my hair into three sections. Two of the sections are gon na be added with the braiding hair and then one of the sections is going to be just my hair, so I'm braiding all of that, like a regular plat and then once I get to the end of where my hair is. I'M gon na be taking a small rubber band and I'm gon na be rubber, banding. It I'm just gon na be repeating the same process on the last few. So after I've combed it out put some gel. I'M gon na take the braiding hair and wrap it around my hair and then split my hair into three sections. Two of the sections gets added into the braiding hair, and then I just regular plat it to the end of where my hair is and tie it off with a rubber band. Now that all of my braids are done, I'm just gon na be going in and fixing the edges of that izip before and just making sure they're really neat and exactly how I want them. So now that the edges and everything are done, I'm just gon na be attaching the actual ponytail. So I'm just basically using the hair tire that I have I'm gon na, be wrapping that around the braids and then flipping the ponytail hair over and that's my ponytail. So that's pretty much it. I'M just gon na be tying one of the strands of the hair around the base of the ponytail. To make sure it's seamless thanks so much for watching you guys, I hope you enjoyed it.
