How To Do A Sleek Half Up Half Down Ponytail On Curly (Hairstylist Secrets)

What'S good everybody, it's your main girls back at it again with another tutorial, this one super highly requested, so i am in stylist mode, i'm mel and she is amanda. We'Re sharing with you, amanda's snatched bridesmaid hair that she just wore at a family wedding that you guys have been asking for. So we're going to take you through the whole process, step by step. We'Re going to share with you the essential products that we use as well as the tools, and, if you didn't know, it's the dyson supersonics fifth birthday this year, they've been around for five years. I'Ve been using mine for four, and now they also have five attachments that are sold with the dyson. So thank you to dyson for partnering with us on this video we're going to share with you how we use the five different attachments on the dyson to create this look. So without further ado, let's get to it so to prep. A man has already gone ahead and washed her hair. You want to start on freshly cleaned hair. Actually, the wash is super important because without a good wash you're not going to get a good style, it's a foundation. What did you wash with? I actually washed with aveda's strength line the botanical strength line, it's strengthening and there is a lot of manipulation that goes into this style, specifically around the hairline. So i just i wanted to make sure that i used something very strengthening, but also moisturizing. Now we're going to go in with the nutraplenish leave-in conditioner. I want to prep amanda's hair with this, because it's of course very nourishing very conditioning. It'S also going to give us heat protection up to 450 degrees. I want you to keep in mind. We prepped our curls the day before and then we finished off the style the morning of but let's say, you're short on time. We have got two hours to complete this look less than that yeah we're going to be using high heat when it comes to the blow drying portion, and so we want to make sure that we prep the hair with a leave-in conditioner with heat protection. So i just generously sprayed that all over and now i want to go in with one more product to prep amanda's hair. This is a really great, like a last minute. Color fix situation. This is the bumble and bumble tone enhancing leave-in. It'S actually tinted purple i'll show you what that looks like, oh, my goodness look at it, so i had sprayed this in amanda's hair for the first time the other day and she was like whoa. I i noticed i had never used this product on my hair before and i noticed the day of the wedding, my hair, the color just really enhanced. It looked really, it looked toned, it looked fresh and we didn't even tone it. All we did was use this leave-in and i i absolutely would recommend it. This being like a blue, violet kind of color is going to tone brassy tones in your hair yeah. If you feel like your hair, is a little bit brassy a little bit orangey. This is a great product, especially if you don't like using purple shampoo, because you feel like it really dries out your hair. This is like a leave-in conditioner, that's toned purple, so really fun and now we're just going to brush those through i'm using the tangle, teezer wet detangler, just going to detangle amanda's hair here to make it easier to separate, because that's where the styling really begins. Yes, now, when creating this style, you want a lot of height, so we want to make sure that we are really elevating and lifting, and i want to make sure that there's still a lot of volume that was amanda's big thing. She wanted big hair yeah. So we're going for volume here so to do that, i don't want to be grabbing a lot of hair from back here, because it's going to take away from the volume. So we used amanda's guideline from right in front of her ear right up to the top of her head to part, to break away the curls versus the ponytail, i'm just using my tangle, teaser ultimate teaser tail comb to create that parting, and you just want to Make sure that it is as clean as possible so really put the tail right up against the scalp and in one fluid motion, try to go all the way up to. We call it the apex right at the top of your head, the highest of height. What is the dolly parton say, the higher the hair, the closer to god? That'S it man. You want to make sure that you are even on both sides and are you straight or what look straight, i'm just looking straight perfect and then clip that section away. Now that we have prepped the hair, we section the hair, we're going to style. The curls in the back amanda's hair is drying quickly. So i'm just going to mist it down with my continuous mist spray bottle, because if the hair is dry or it's not thoroughly saturated with water, all throughout the style of the curls is not going to come out exactly how you would like it to so we're Going to go in with our curl cream, this is the ag curl fresh definer, it's our go-to. So, of course, we're going to use our go-to products for an event, so i'm taking just about this much cream to start, i can always go in with more always says when you're styling your hair, especially for a very special occasion. You only want to be using products that you know. You trust. Yes, you know when you trust. You also want to be using something that smells nice. You want to smell good for the event i like to smell good around here, yes beautiful, so that's thoroughly brushed through and i'm going to say we have enough product in there. Now that i have you know distributed it completely. If i take the hair - and i twist the hair - and i squeeze the hair like this, i can see the product leaking. It'S all in there there's more than enough, i'm going to go in and start defining the curls. Now this is the denim d3 detangling and teasing comb. It has three rows. I really like to use it for styling, especially when i don't want a lot of clumping in my hair, and i want my hair to be very voluminous. You'Ll see what i mean when mel uses it all about how you do use it. So what we did is we took these vertical sections now i always like taking vertical sections, but i take vertical sections and thin. I didn't want to take a massive chunk of the hair, no and brush it all together, because that's still going to give you the clumps, so i wanted to take thin little chunky, clumps and i got right into the roots and i brush all the way up. See how i went up and off the head, this is going to give a ton of volume in the root and also separate all those curls as well. So that's going to give us the maximum volume - and i just continued this now - you'll notice - i'm still doing what i always do, which is apply pressure to the spine of the brush or comb, because that is going to give a certain level of tension. And it's going to help to make sure that the brush, like the comb, isn't just brushing through the curls and causing frizz. That little press against the spine is going to make sure that the curls do still kind of gather together, so that these are definitely going to be a little bit more uh stringy curls than we usually style. But that's exactly what's going to give us the volume and we're still getting the definition, so we're really getting the best of all worlds. Perfect. Now that the curls have been clumped and chunked and separated and defined, because this was a big function, we knew that the weather was going to be crazy. We didn't know what amanda was going to be doing behind the scenes we wanted maximum hold. So we went in with a little bit of a moose. This is the osis plus extreme hold mousse from schwarzkopf professional. So we took a little bit of this and when you're using a mousse, you want to make sure that you evenly distribute it. So it's not just you know crunchy in some areas, so i kind of go in and i first kind of gently pat the hair, like so just making sure that it gets everywhere. First and i've still got some left on my hands. I'M gon na tip your head all the way back if you can carefully from the very bottom and we scoop and then squish squeeze a little bit and release now, while you're here. If there's any areas, any curls that you see that you want a little extra definition, we just did a couple finger coils, mostly around like where her ears are, because that hair was pretty much going to be on full display around her face and like around amanda's Hairline in the back here, it's her trouble area. So if you know you have trouble areas make sure that you care for those accordingly and then make sure that this overlay section as well just has a couple perfect ringlets, but we don't go in and finger coil. The whole head - we didn't do that for this style, because it would take away from the volume, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. Now we're going to move on to the top section, i'm going to take some of that extreme hold mousse again and i placed it on the top of her head. Just use my hand to kind of work that, in that was a generous amount, but you just need a little bit. This is just gon na really help to hold every single hair down, and this is where we start to get into things. This is the part that blew me away. Pass me the dyson, because i know which one you're going to use, i'm going to put it on, for you, mel is going to start with the dyson supersonic smoothie nozzle, this nozzle extremely concentrates the air. You can see it has a very thin nozzle. It'S directing the hair with a lot of concentration. So it's great for these focus areas where we really want to be smoothing. This is going to help to concentrate all the air, so we can really focus on using air instead of heat, especially because we're so close to our scalp, i'm turning down the heat for this area and i'm really going to go right up to her head and Really smooth all of those hairs, i want to show them what direction to go in. So, while i'm holding the ponytail up here, i am blowing the hairs right up to my hand. Now, i'm also going to be taking the wide tooth comb attachment. I love this attachment because of how beautiful and wide these teeth are. They really allow you to get into a section, and this is going to allow us to get deeper than just the surface layer. Smoothing, it's really going to help to smooth out any kinks and bumps that you have in the hair, because this attachment was made for textured hair in mind. It was made to help smooth out textured hair, a great prep for a blowout or, as we like, to use it even to fluff out the roots or to brush them out. The teeth are actually very flexible and they don't get caught in the hair and the attachment doesn't bounce off the blow dryer as well, because it has that kind of longer stem to get deep in and really secure it. So you don't have to be shy or worry about it flying off. This is also making sure that we dry against the scalp, so amanda's hair isn't really wet up in here, which could irritate your scalp and create mold and situations dry, your scalp so i'll. Take my brush: this is the tangle, teaser ultimate finisher, hair brush, and i'm just going to use this to really make sure that i slick everything how's your face. Next we're going to take a hair tie. These kind of elastics are going to give me the tightest kind of grip on the hair. I don't always use these kind of ponytails, but when i'm creating a sleek look like even on myself, we do. These are the goodie ouchless um. These are probably the best they're number one in canada. These ones are perfect for me, because they're dark brown they're going to camouflage my hair. You want to try to get the ponytail as smooth as possible and as tight as possible, so that you don't have to do this because this could create bumps. So you want to maybe just very gently. You know pull the hair to tighten it how's. It feeling how's it looking yes here we are it's perfect and we want to make sure that we address these curls as well, so we're going to go in and define them the exact same way that we have so i'm just going to re-dampen the ends here And i really want to make sure, i'm gentle and that i'm not pulling on and disrupting the ponytail. Now i'm going to go in these kind of horizontal sections and i'm going to define the pearls and then i take one of these and i clipped it right at the root. It just helped. Pin that down to secure it - and i continued this way up the ponytail - these volumizing root clips - we've been using a lot. I found them on amazon, i'll link them below, as well as all the products that we're using today. So you can keep track of everything there. These are really fun because they just help to give you direction and to set the hair, how you want it so, especially great if you have cowlicks, um or you're just again looking for extra volume, i like using these. As root clips, as opposed to much else because they don't get caught in the hair like those little two-prong, metal clips do um and then cause you know breakage at the roots. These are really fun beautiful, good, ass! That'S crazy! Look at the height man! We really said volume: we really did it's gon na give us a nice smooth bump as well. Yeah you'll see the end result, but now we are just going to again finish that top section, those top curls off with a little bit more mousse and then we're going to start diffusing. I'M just kind of separating a little bit again finger coiling, any curls that i may want to pop, or that need a little bit of help finishing that off with a healthy, scrunch, perfect. Now we're going to start diffusing. This part is always magic for me, because this is a very high speed blow dryer, but once you put this diffuser attachment on my favorite attachment of this blow dryer it completely diffuses that airflow it makes it super super soft so that when you go in and Blow dry, your curls, it doesn't blow them away and cause any kind of frizz while still helping to speed up time. Super super fast and efficient, and it's going to get us through this because, no matter what time do we have left on them? We only have 40 minutes left, so that's why mel's going to be using high speed and high heat. The attachment diffuser for the dyson is like no other. It'S not going to give me frizz. It also wouldn't give us heat damage, because even the highest heat setting of this blow dryer is not hot enough to give you extreme heat damage, but we secured ourselves. We gave ourselves a little extra protection anyways with those prepping products. Some other tips to prevent heat damage is to keep the blow dryer a safe distance. This is why we hover diffuse. You can see the blow. Dryer is not super close right up against the hair. So i'm really getting indirect heat here and i'm also constantly moving the blow dryer by not holding it in one spot. It'S gon na make sure that you don't focus on and damage one area more than the other you're gon na have way less damage by diffusing. This way, and especially by using the dyson with their intelligent heat control, unlike many other dryers, this one doesn't get hotter and hotter the longer it's on the intelligent heat control keeps the temperature consistent throughout the entire styling process, while the blow dryer is running, another helpful Tip if you are wearing something wet like amanda the other day, she had a robot and made her change. We'Re gon na remove our towel now, because her hair is drying and having something wet against. It is going to prevent it from drying and it could cause frizz underneath so make sure that you change. You are wearing something dry now and because we want a lot of volume, we're doing a lot of scrunching with the blow dryer. So now, amanda's hair is almost dry, but it's a little bit damp just in the roots and to do a little extra fluffing. We'Re going to use the dyson gentle air attachment this one's really nice for close near the scalp use, because it actually helps to cool down the airflow by 20. So if you have a very sensitive scalp and even the lowest heat setting on your dyson is a little too warm. The gentle air attachment is a perfect attachment for that. It'S also going to help to soften and diffuse the airflow so that it's not so aggressive on your scalp and especially for curls. It'S going to help just fluff up the roots a little bit without completely losing the definition. You also really want to make sure that all the hair - that's in these little volume clips is dry because they're clamped up, they can take a little bit longer. So just take your dryer and get right in there all right, she's almost finished. We just need to do some serious fluffing right now, so i'm going to coat my hands with some oil we're going to be using the girl smith bonding oil just going to take one to two pumps, because she's got a lot of hair and i want to Make sure that i fully fully coat my hands so that i can evenly coat her strands and there's not going to be an oily spot anywhere. So i just want to go in because if you take a look at the curls, they look nice and stringy and crunchy right now, but we're going to soften and fluff them up now that our hands are protected. This is going to help to prevent, causing frizz and flyaways as well, because we have oil on our hands. So now that we have softened out the curls, we want to add even extra volume, i'm going to use kind of a secret weapon. This is the oasis plus dustin powder. This is from schwarzkopf as well, and this gives the hair a little bit of like this tackiness. It'S going to help to expand and hold volume in the hair for a long time. I'M just going to flip this hair forward and i'm going to be working in the back section here first and then we're going to work up to the ponytail and i'm taking my tangle teaser ultimate teaser and i'm just doing a little bit a little bit of Teasing i'm never going in the front where the curls are going to be exposed. I'M always going right behind that section to do a little bit of back combing, because this will inevitably fluff up the hair cause, maybe a little bit of frizz. But as long as it's hidden, it's fine, i always pinch the ends when i'm teasing curly hair, so that i'm not messing with the curls down here because again teasing can cause a little bit of frizz, i'm just working at the top root section and now the Curls don't get disturbed now, i'm going to remove these volume clips one and two as you can see as you as i lay it back already. It'S got this bump now. So now i'm just going to fluff that out a little bit, i'm adding the powder a little tease and kind of laying that down on this last one. I don't want to back comb which could cause a little bit of fluff and frizz. I just want to brush out this top section just to make sure everything is smooth and it can lay over everything else. Look at the look at the shape. Amazing. The only thing that's bothering me now is we do want to hide that hair tie, so we're going to take a piece of amanda's hair that maybe doesn't look amazing it all. The whole thing does the whole thing does, but if there's any curl, that's like a little bit frizzy, you want to take a little section of hair, make sure it's big enough to wrap around the ponytail i'm going to just brush it out also to fluff it Up wrap it right around our hair tie. Then i'm going to take a bobby pin first sandwich a little piece of hair between the bobby pin, i'm going to wrap it around the bobby pin and i'm going to stick the bobby pin into her scalpula. You can go in and fill in your hairline a little bit if you're a little bit self-conscious about the density or you really just kind of want to perfect. You know the framing around your face, we're going in with my eyebrow pencil. This is the benefit precisely my brow. It'S got a really fine tip pencil here and i just want to create hair like strokes, then we're going to want to brush that out using a little toothbrush looking brush and we're actually going to dip into a paste. This is going to really help to hold those baby hairs. This is the oasis plus mess up matte paste. It also smells really good. It does smell very good. I mean i don't know if anyone's gon na be sniffing your hairline but beautiful, and if it wasn't so picture perfect, if there were a lot of frizz and fly away, is if you're someone that really struggles with flyaways specifically, this is going to be for you. The brand new dyson fly away attachment this elephant trunk. Looking thing is magnificent: it's so freaking cool, so cool, really great. It'S smooth hair, but we have also used it in our curly hair and this dyson attachment uses the konda effect to draw and pull out longer hairs, while tucking in and hiding all of the shorter flyaway hairs. To give you a really sleek and smooth result, it can make your hair look healthier because it's tucking away those short hairs that could look like breakage, and it just gives you that perfect finish. My pro tip here is to use it on no heat, because heat helps to reset the style. So you want to use this as a finishing step to complete whatever style you've created, so no heat just to tuck in those extra hairs go in and just glide. It across the edge silhouette of your hair - and that is the snatched look look at her look at how fabulous this ponytail is. This is perfect for any formal occasion you may have. If you need a little extra hairspray go ahead, but we have really set amanda's hair here. That is that that's how we did it. We hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial.
