Frontal Ponytail Tutorial For Short 4C Hair - I'M Back On Youtube !

I don't know how to escape from the stars: hello guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here, i'm aisha butterfly, so i'm actually really nervous about coming back on here, because i've just disappeared for so long because i've been like procrastinating, um but yeah. I'Ve been procrastinating for so long, but yesterday i was on tick tock and i saw this video and it literally said it was this lady and she basically said a story about how she made a youtube video five years ago and when she made it all her Friends and family laughed at her, they said it was rubbish, didn't support her. I think her family, like i don't know, stop speaking to her. Her partner broke up with her. Her friends, like just didn't, become her friends and now, five years later, she's like a multi-millionaire making so much money off youtube and now she's saying, like everybody, supports her all her friends support her she's, even like having new friends and stuff like that. So all she said was even if nobody supports you and you feel like it's not going well, don't give up, because if you show up every day some day it's gon na pay off. I know that was a bit lengthy, but it was just such a powerful message and that's why i'm recording this video, because i've been avoiding youtube for so long for other reasons as well, not just because, but i think watching my old videos. I want to come on here moving forward and just be myself. I like feel like there's a pressure on instagram to be perfect and i am in no shape or form perfect like, but the thing is, i don't want to like come on here. Oh sorry, guys. I don't have makeup on. I don't want to do that, like i'm, not going to apologize for my skin, i'm not going to apologize for my hair, i'm not going to apologize for not being perfect, so yeah. I want to be able to come in here and just show you guys my real self, like my real personality, so yeah all the waffles out the way. So this is gon na, be my frontal ponytail. I think it's become like a signature. Look really recently because i just feel prettiest with my hair out of my face. I feel like when my hair's down it hides my face, but when it's like pulled away and it's sleek, i think that suits me the best. So that's what i'm gon na do. I'M gon na try and keep it this video like 10 minutes uh. So if you're not new to my channel you'll, know that i cut off my hair like it's been over a year now, but it's actually grown quite a bit. I know it looks like a mess: i've just moisturized it, but when i wash my hair i use shea moisture shampoo. I think it's the apple cider one of this one, so i've got the shampoo and conditioner of this one, and i've also got a deep conditioner. So after i do that, all i put in my hair is some castor oil and the leave-in conditioner, which is what i've got in here. But when i braided my hair i was being oh, i was being really lazy. That'S why they're so massive and the thing with my hair, because it's so kinky it gets really messy really fast. My nose is watering because i've got hay fever yeah. So when i put that in my hair, i just want to show you guys the braids they're, not great, because i literally did brush it. It'S just one. Two three big big braids wait one two, three, four five yeah. I did three have three here, so when i do my frontal ponytails, let me show you what i do. I do um all the cornrows, but then you need to have a strip here, because this is what's going to cover the back. The thing with me is, i don't really want to do a 360 pony. What'S it called 360 frontal? That seems like a lot of work. So what i've done is this is my wig. It'S from wisco's hair, it's 13 by 6, straight 200 density, 26, inches um. It'S a really good wig. This is how it looks: uh yeah, so when i so this isn't freshly washed i've already i wore this yesterday, which is why it's got all the makeup and all the gel on which is like for me. When i take off my wig, i try and keep the shape to save me from having to like do too much, but make sure you don't cover this bit. Oh in so it's not like sticking out and then i kind of like i don't know how it's my sister was like. Are you adjusting your wig with your face? I'M like yeah like? If you do this, it naturally moves to where it needs to be, and i think for me it's like here by the way i'm gon na be having my morning drinks. So this is my apple cider vinegar drink. Like i said, if you're not new here, you know about this legendary drink, it's got apple, cider, vinegar, it's got lemon juice, peppermint tea and green tea yeah. This is what i drink. It'S this big and it's just got hot water in here and another thing that i've been drinking recently is my green juice. If you can hear a noise, i've got the washing machine on probably not the best time to put it on, but it's gon na have to you're gon na have to work with me. So the green juice has spinach grapes, uh passion, fruit, uh, ginger, carrots, almond, milk, and that's it. This is really good. This has been really good for me and i also take like my sub supplements but yeah. So if you see me like drinking this and drinking that it's because yeah sorry about the washing machine, i should have probably waited to turn it on. So, as you can see, the braids are still in, but we're going to take that out later. But all you want to do is put this to the back. Just it doesn't need to be perfect, it's just to get it out of the way yeah, so you're going to need, like a makeup, wipe or just any baby wipe i've already obviously used this one. That'S why it's brown and you're going to need surgical spirits and all you're going to do is just put some on there. Oh and you're, just gon na, like wipe the frontal, so all this is doing is taking away the glue from the glue i put on yesterday the glue the gel all that stuff. I think i'm gon na go and turn that washing machine off. It'S a bit. Much isn't it i'm gon na turn it off. Okay, i've turned it off because it was just too loud. So all i'm doing is you can see that was clean before now. It'S been done, it's getting dirty and all i'm literally doing is wiping oh yeah. I'Ve got individuals in i'm, not really an individual lash girl, i'm more of a straight flush, but i just randomly walked into like a shop and i was like. Can i have some lashes and then usually, like lash text will tell me? Oh, your lashes are too short and they're too curly, but i feel like, if you're a professional, you should be able to do hair lashes nails for everyone. You shouldn't say: oh yeah, because you've got this hair texture. I can't do your hair because i think there was a time when black people, even our own people, would turn people with natural hair away. Just because we've not bothered to learn how to do it. But i think now people are taking time to learn how to do black hair. So you will it's more common for hairdressers to do like kinky hair, whereas before they'll say oh, your hair's overdue, which means you need to relax. It damage it and potentially get cancer. So this is the eco styler gel. All i'm doing is just putting it on my baby hairs. If you guys want like a video on me like washing my hair blow drying, it straightening it laying it it like as it is now. I can do that, but i would only do it if you want it so and then i'm just brushing this like forward holding it and then sweeping it away like this and i'm gon na do the same on this side yeah, i might cut down the baby Hairs they just they just feel a bit massive right now and just try and push this down so bear in mind. I'Ve not even added any glue yet, and it's already looking. I could potentially go out like this, and nobody can tell me anything so what i do next is. I use my got to be spray. This is just a mini version. You can use the big version if you like, but i just find the mini version. I can just put it in my bag if i need to like touch up, and all i'm going to do is spray. My hairline, like that, and what i like to use is like a rat tail comb and i'm going to use my hair dryer. Just this is a let's not talk about it. Let'S just pretend like it's perfect, so now i've blow dried it. You can see this bit here. It'S really stubborn, this one's okay a little bit, but what you want to do is just go to the corners again. The bits that tend to lift for me is uh, like the sides - and i know you guys might say - oh use a stronger glue, but i prefer to not use a stronger glue because i want my edges and it's gon na be harder to get it off. Because i know, if i use got to be the surgical spirit, can get it off and you can literally that's like one pound 80 in superdrug, so yeah, i'm just gon na blow dry it again. So what i like to do is i like to take my foundation brush and just like just i'm just pushing it in, and you can see it's like blending into my skin, so much nicer yeah. So what we're going to do now is i'm just going to take out this braid at the back? So this is my hair uh yeah, my hair's growing, quite a bit if you're like, if you've been on, like my channel for a while you'd know that i went bold, i went bold um about a year ago. Um, it's grown like this much so this is the heat protector i use on my wigs and my hair, so i'm just going to spray some of this on and then i'm going to blow dry it because it's still a bit wet from the shower. So now i'm gon na use my straightener, i forgot to mention this straightener did break and i did put tape on it because you know got to save some money. I think this is the tresemme hairdryer. I'Ve had this for a while. It'S still really good, and i think this is remington remington and it goes up to 230 in here. So all i'm gon na do is i don't like to straighten it too straight because it's gon na damage, my hair. So what i'm gon na do is just run through it, like maybe a couple times just wait for it to get hot. It just needs to be able to cover the lace of the wig. That'S like my goal. My goal isn't for it to blend in, like super perfect. So now what i do is i take this down: i'm just gon na brush. So now this is when i decide if i want a low ponytail, a high ponytail, a braided ponytail, a twisted one, a bun just leaving it like, but i think for my face. I think i suit the low pony the best. I think this should be okay, so i'm just gon na do like a no reason. Well. Is this slow? I think it's just yeah, it's kind of low, it's not high. Is it yeah? Oh, i think i'm just gon na leave it out today and then you just wan na brush brush blush yeah, like i was saying before. If you're gon na call yourself a professional you, you kind of need to be able to do, do it for everybody uh. So that includes, if you're gon na call yourself a nash tech, it's not! Oh, i'm only a lash tank for people with long perfect lashes, because, honestly, i felt like absolute dog um. Obviously, it's not her fault and i do appreciate her being honest that she couldn't do it so guys. The reason you can see all these bumps is because i've done my braids underneath so massive it's bumpy now, but it's okay! It'S not it's not the end of the book, so i'm just gon na try and use my hair to cover and i'm just going to spray a bit. I'Ve got to be and dry that and because my hair is still a little bit short, i'm just going to use some clips. I pray it's covered because i don't have eyes at the back of my head, but it should be okay, like with me, leaving my hair out back. My only goal is to just hide the lace you know at the back of the wig yeah. That'S my only goal so to finish it off, i'm going to use the tresemme, it's not tresemme! Sorry, it's well the shockwave moves and i use about this much and i'm just gon na put it at the front of my hair, oh gosh. I think i'll put the pin in last, and all this is gon na do is just give you that laid, really laid look and i'm just gon na brush it with. This is like the best thing i've ever bought. So next thing i do, is i get a silk scarf. It looks like this. It'S just a square, and what i do is i fold it to like a triangle like this and then like this, and i just make it smaller until it's a strip and then let me make it a bit bigger. Actually, because it's a and then i just lay it like this and bring it back, and this is just to help the hair set uh. So, whilst that's doing that, you just wanna so, like i said sometimes i might want to do like a braided ponytail, a twisted one um, a bun, but yeah can you see you can do whatever. So that's that would be a braided one and also, let me show you guys how i do my buns, so you just want to twist the hair like this. It doesn't need to be perfect, so if you want to do a twisted ponytail, you just put a bubble here, but my bones: i twist it like that and then i like roll it. That'S not obviously great, but i think for this hair video i'm just gon na leave it like this, because i've got uni soon, so the last step is to just blow dry and make sure the mousse is dry. Okay, i don't like, like flat edges like this. So what i do is i, like i brush it out, so it's not like crunchy yeah. I don't want it stuck to my head because it just doesn't look very natural, so i just brush it out. So it's like. Can you see it's like fluffy yeah like this yeah, and this is the finished? Look. I think i'll probably use this for my intro but yeah. This is my ponytail. I hope you guys enjoyed this video, i'm gon na film, i'm about to film a skin care. Video and then a makeup video, so yeah. This is like my favorite hairstyle right now. I think this hairstyle suits me the most uh yeah. What do you guys think? Let me know if you're going to try and do it. Let me know if you like it. Let me know if you want me to do any other hairstyles, but this is currently my go-to hairstyle and yeah. So bye, guys and i'll see you in the next video lots of love.
