Sleek Bombshell Ponytail On Natural Hair | No Waves!

What'S up you guys, my name is Ariana and welcome to my youtube channel for today's video we're going to be doing this super cute, easy ponytail. No, this ponytail is literally for every season whether you got to go to the grocery store about to go to sleep. Better go to the beach. You can literally wear this ponytail any and everywhere it's so cute. It literally takes your hair from like a 5 to a 35, I'm not even kidding like you literally go from looking 12 to looking 22, how you know what, but why would you write into the video please feel free to give this video a big big thumbs Up as well as subscribing to this channel, if you are new, feel free to turn on that notification belt too, so you guys will get alerts whenever I do upload that way, you guys won't miss anything. So let's just go ahead and jump right into the video. My hair is already old and it's already blow-dried. So if you are starting on freshly washed hair - and you want to achieve this hairstyle, you would want to go ahead and blow-dry your hair. I do have a tutorial on how I blowed you on my hair with no damage, so I'm gon na link the card up here. My hair is probably a week old and I'm not gon na wash it as of right now, because shampoo doesn't really do my hair any justice. If anything, it just dries. My hair out also, since you guys, saw my hair in a bun. My hair is already moisturized as well. I'M gon na show you guys what I must rise. My hair with that way, there's no confusion so blow-dry, my hair. I use the Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie. Now, if you are not new to my channel, you guys already know that that is a staple product in my curly hair routine. So I really like that because it keeps my ends moisturize more so than hair, grease or any other type of butter or whatever. Also, I used Bioscope that's kind of a more pricey product depending on the size of the bottle that you get, but I really really like it, especially whenever I'm doing heat styles on my natural hair, because I never get any damage. Sorry moisturize my hair, once it's already blow-dried, I use raw African shea butter and that really just works for my hair. I don't really know how it's going to work on everybody else's hair, but my hair seems to love it. I got this at Target and now, depending on where you live, some places carry it some places, don't because where I live directly, they don't have it at the Walmart, but probably like 30 minutes up the road they have at the Target near me, I'm starting by Sectioning off my hair and remoisturize in as needed as well as detangling, this part is very, very self-explanatory, so it is one of these just watch the video you want to take a shave, butter melt it in your hands next time, I'm doing a second, my Denman Brush and detangling my hair, because the Denman brush is really the only thing that details my hair without ripping out too much hair or hurting my scalp. You can also use a wide tooth comb, but I'm more so a brush type of girl so to each's. On this part is totally optional, it kind of depends on the thickness of your hair. My hair is very thick, so a lot of times my ponytail at the base will be like puffy or like big. So, in order for me to lay my hair down, I kind of have to go in with extra reinforcement. This is just the edge control that I have on hand. It is by certified Bella I'll put their Instagram name on the page. They actually reached out to me and wanted to send me this, and I actually really liked it. So if you guys are interested in this edge control again I'll just put the links down below in the description box by the way I'm not being paid to talk about this product or anything. They literally just DM me on Instagram and asked me if I wanted to try it and they sent it to me and I actually liked it so there's no affiliate code. No none of that! So sorry, I don't have no discount for y'all, but if you I really want to try this actually a good product, as you guys can tell I'm really just focusing the edge control on my roots, and that is so it'll like lay my hair down because, again Thickness does not really work with sleek ponytails, so you got to do it. You got to do to get it as flat as possible as you're going through a section. You really want to make sure that you're starting to form your ponytail in the direction that you want it to lay, because there's no point in doing it like after the fact, because then this is going to be way more work on you. So I'm going for like probably a ponytail right about here, and I just want to start forming my hair and shaping it to go in that direction and, as you guys can see, even though I do have naturally curly hair with me, using the edge control. Instead of using like eco styler gel or got subito, my hair is not waving up and that's exactly what you want when you're going for a sleek look it'd be different if I was trying to have like waves, but I don't want ways today, Oh Lord, so Basically, that's pretty much what I'm gon na do all over my head, so I'm just gon na come back when the other half of my head is done because your girl getting hot. I can't like it. Oh, I'm so tired yeah, so my hair's pretty much going in somewhat of the same direction. I'Ve kind of backtracked a little bit like I put parts in it and all that and you just turned out horrible, so we've kind of rewind it a little bit now. I'M just gon na say my eco styler gel and I'm going to put it around like the edges of my hair. Didn'T she just say: she's not gon na put eco on her hair. Well, your eco styler gel really doesn't make my hair way back up after I put the edge control on there. For some reason, I guess the properties in the edge control is strong enough to like make your hair not wan na wave. Look, I really don't know why my hair doesn't wave up if I put the edge control on before the eco styler gel, but for some reason it doesn't so. My ponytails end up looking slick, even though I use eco, because with the edge control that kind of makes your hair like kind of hard to comb through. So I like using eco styler gel mixed with water, to get it to light kind of late right now. But actually move the way I need it to because up in here. So let me see breath Oh hallelujah, oh my that ponytail so clever. I need a break. I'M gon na snap a few moments later. The hardest part of this tutorial is finally over. Thank God. So now we're just gon na move into like making this a lot smaller, depending on the thickness of your hair. My hair is pretty thick, as you guys can tell so it's pretty hard for me to do like very, very sleek and small ponytails, because my braid is like a Dookie breathing. You pretty much want to braid the rest of your ponytail down to make it a lot smaller that way, whenever you wrap the bundles around it, it's not like bulky and weird-looking. This part is pretty easy. If you guys can't bridge to the scalp, you really don't need to know how to do that. For this tutorial, you just really need to know how to braid and try to braid it as tight, as you can well in frames really thick. You want to braid it really tighten that where the braid is like a lot smaller. But if your hair is not that thick, then you really don't have to worry about braiding a tight braid. So this is what I'm working with like I said, my hair is really thick, there's not really much. I can do about getting it any thinner unless I were to like straighten my hair, and we ain't doing that, because I work out a lot so that just ain't gon na mix to save time. What I'm going to do now is like form my edges and then, after that, I'm gon na put my scarf on it, and then I'm gon na put my bundle on that way by the time I'm wrapping my bundles, my edges and stuff is already gon na. Be done so we are up close and personal, as y'all can see to stop my edges. I personally like to use, got to be OSHA blue gel. That is the one that comes in the black container. A lot of people use this gel to lay their wings, but you guys can also use it for your edges. So hopefully there's not a misconception like it's only for wigs or lace fronts. It'S not. I also like to use olive oil eco styler gel to stop my edges as well. So what I will do, I will go in with the ecostyler gel first just to get like a basic layout of how all my edges to be, and then I will follow behind it with the guts to be glue gel to like lock, everything in place. Cuz from my hair, especially living in Florida, whenever I just use eco styler gel and I walk outside it's like over with so I need the disrespect as I was saying so, with living in Florida. The humidity is crazy. So whenever I use the eco styler gel, it doesn't really hold my hair. The way that I need it to, but that's why I will use the guts to be glue gel for extra reinforcement. That way, my edges will stay late in this humid weather, something I've learned through the years as well. What lays my edges the best as far as designing is this teeny tiny comb with a metal end on it? I don't necessarily like the plastic ends, because it's not like tiny enough or detailed enough for me to get like all the little designs that I want, and I also like using a comb versus a tooth brush or like a wire toothed comb, because it just kind Of like lays my hair, I don't know about other people, but this is what really lays my hair once you're done, laying your edges, you want to take a scarf of your choosing and just tie it up from your edges up to probably like right here. Not quite the base of your ponytail, but probably like an entrance to in front of it that way the ponytail can be laid and then now we're gon na go ahead and add in the bundles. These aren't the bundles that I'm going to be using for the ponytail I kind of wanted a deep wave loose wave, whatever type of ponytail cuz, it's very like effortless, and that's really the look that it's like popping. These are just some old bundles that I got probably like two years ago. If you guys want to have hair that will actually last you, I would recommend going ahead and investing in actual human hair, extensions or bundles or whatever you want to call them. These are from the company NuStar, something i'ma leave the link down below in the description box, but, yes, these are very old bundles. These are also the same bundles that I wore when I went to LA from my birthday inserts photo. The method that I'm going to use to get my bundles wrapped around my hair is the same method that tiara Walker used. I love her so much and I just love the fact that she has figured out a way to add in bundles without having to add in a whole bunch of bobby pins, because bobby pins don't feel good. So if you guys haven't seen her video, I will probably link that down below as well, so I can give her a proper credit, but, yes, I will be doing that same type of method because it actually goes, and I really really like you. Basically, her method is taking your ponytail. You want to start at the very end of your ponytail and, if you guys can tell this is the part of the bundle that, like splits off it's not the other end that is like connected. You want to make sure that you're taking this side so with the split side of the bundle you just want to put it together and you want to section off like an inch or inch and a half of the bundles and you kind of want to grab Like right here as well before, you add it into your hair, and then you just want to get this piece of your hair. So you pretty much want to take the elastic and the one-inch part of the bundle, and you want to tie it around the very end of your real hair. Once you get to this stuff, you can pretty much start wrapping the bundle around the brain. This part is very, very self-explanatory. You'Re, literally just wrapping it around your hair like this, and you just keep going all the way up now, just a precaution before you start wrapping your hair because I'm pretty sure some of y'all may be like pausing the video and doing it right now. Please make sure that once you get to the end of your bundle, the end of your bundle is at the base of your ponytail. I made this mistake before and I was wrapping it like too close together on the braid, and the bundle ended up like right here and it was like tragic whenever I was trying to add in the other bundles like it, didn't turn out the way that it Should have so just make sure that the end of the bundle ends up at the base of your ponytail, so you can wrap it like wider if you need to so. The end of my bundle is right here, and the last thing that you want to do is you want to take off another like one-inch section of your hair, and you want to wrap it around the base of your ponytail that way, you'll like secure it in And that's why I told you guys to make sure that your scarf is not in the way, because if it is, then you can't wrap it and you kind of want to wrap it like tightly kind of like a bantu knot. That way, it won't come out, and so you won't have to use bobby pins if you don't wrap it tight enough. You'Re gon na have to use bobby pins. There'S nothing really wrong with that, but they kind of hurt my head, so I would prefer not to with the second bundle you don't have to do the rubberband at the end to secure you know section off, there's one little piece and you can put it at The base of your ponytail and basically you're gon na wrap this this way until you get to the tail in and then you're just going to wrap the bundle in the opposite direction. So it kind of like ties itself and now what you want to do with the rest of the bundle is wrap it in the opposite direction around the base of your real hair ponytail. So again, I'm at the end of my bundle and you just want to split off the one-inch section, and you just want to wrap it around the base of the ponytail to kind of stay organized. What I'm gon na do is I'm gon na, like smooth all of this hair up very carefully making sure that I'm not undoing like the little piece that are tied at the bottom. I'M just gon na like put this out of the way whenever it's time. For me to add in the third bundle, because this can get very messy if you're not organized, so that's just a tip to help you all. So I'm gon na take two more rubber bands and I'm just gon na go ahead and like put it on the end, actually in the middle, I'm gon na go ahead and add the rubber band into the middle of the hair, because it's like, if you kind Of add it towards the end, it's gon na be like loose right here, and then this is the part that I'm trying to like keep out the way when you're wrapping the last bundle. You want to make sure that every time you wrap it you're at the base of your ponytail, so you don't want to like wrap it and then it'd be like up here. You want to make sure that this bundle is all the way at the base. That way, it'll be thick from the root to the end of the hair. So, as you go, you just want to make sure that you're moving all of the hair out of the way that way you can actually reach the base. Again, I have split off the little section right here and I'm just gon na go ahead and wrap that around the base of my hair. Now that you have all of your hair attached to your head, you want to take maybe, like a 1 to 2 inch, section a little bit thicker than the end of the bundle that we were wrapping and you want to take it and you want to wrap It kind of sort of up the base of the ponytail to like kind of like hide the fact. That'S, not your hair. So if you need to brush it out, you can and then you guys can see that I'm kind of like fanning the hair out a little bit push all of the hair to the back, and then you just want to wrap it at the base. We'Re almost done y'all we're. Finally, at the end of the video cuz, my arms been fell off like five minutes ago, but now we're just gon na move into styling our ponytail. If your hair is curly, you want to start by detangling your hair with a Denman brush. You want to get you a spray bottle and you just want to spritz all of your hair if your hair is not already defined. This is just for people whose hair is like frizzy like mine for products. I have three different options as far as what you want to choose from, I don't mind using all three of them. It really just doesn't matter. It depends on what I have on hand option. One is like three or four dollar conditioner. This is my favorite conditioner. That is cheap Walmart Target wherever you can get it at get you some options to the Shea Moisture, curl enhancing smoothie. Again, we've already been there with this. I'Ve already told you out what I love about it. So y'all can use this too, and this is actually a leave-in conditioner. So I would recommend it over the other conditioner. But to me it don't matter: option three is mousse, and this is what I'm going to be using for today, because I've been watching a lot of different hair videos and a lot of people like to use mousse to style their human hair, bundles whoo. Well, my hair is done pretty much. You guys can wait for it to dry, but I look you wan na go. Take my pictures because the Sun is going down. I really really hope you guys enjoyed this video.
