Inh Lola Ponytail: In-Depth Tutorial | Jaleesa

Hey guys, it's lisa welcome back to my channel today. I wanted to show you guys how i achieve this ponytail gotten. So many questions and comments about it, so i figured it would be best just to make a video about it. So the ponytail i've been wearing is from insert name here. It'S the lola pony with a swoop this one's well loved. As you can tell um, i should probably get another one, but i i love this ponytail. I wear all the time and i get a lot of questions about it. This is in the shade ash blonde, but i did spray a little bit with my root touch-up spray. So you guys will see that a little bit later, um it's a 17 inch ponytail with a swoop and then, as you can see here, it comes with the clip like a clip here, so you can insert it into the base of your ponytail um. This little mesh here just makes it so your bun or whatever isn't kind of sticking out, and also, i guess it just holds the hair of the actual ponytail. And then you get this velcro strap. So you can secure your ponytail and then some extra hair to wrap around. I'M pretty sure i've done a video like this, but it probably wasn't this little pony. It might have been a different one either way. This is the way that i've been wearing it recently. So it's still relevant. Basically, my hair is blown out. It'S stretched out um and i mean the more stretched the better since this hair is kind of really silky. You know so you um, if you don't want to spray it down with some dry shampoo, to get rid of the texture, then you're going to want your hair texture to match and be as blown out as possible when my hair was blended, it was more sleek, But with some gel and stuff it's starting to kind of revert back, doesn't matter, it's still going to look good, so we have stretched out hair if your hair is freshly washed skip this part, but because i have still a little bit of product in from yesterday. I'M just going to rehydrate it, so you can take a water bottle. This is the as i am jamaican black, castor oil, water. I love it, but i don't want to spray too much because i don't want to revert my hair too much. I just kind of want to reactivate it a little so be very um, careful with that. So i'm just going to take a boar, bristle brush and just start to brush my hair back and then what i'm going to do is take a little bit of gel. You can take any gel, that's your favorite! I am using. I just want to finish this. So that's why i'm using this? It'S the eco styler, the olive oil and shea butter. I don't like this one just because the hold is pretty weak, but it's fine for this. For this ponytail, pretty much it'll be just fine, so it's gon na add a little bit of that gel and you have to be careful just because this is a water based gel. So your hair will start to revert back if you want to completely avoid that. Don'T use a water-based gel, but i like it just because my hair responds well to it and it does help me to really get more sleek ponytails but, like i said, if your hair, if you know that it's just going to revert completely, then skip the water-based Gel and i'll show you what to use. So, on top of this, i'm taking the african pride black, castor miracle braid lock twist gel i've mentioned this gel so many times it's my favorite, but it just works so well, so i'll take a little bit of that and use that to sleek my hair back. If you don't want baby hairs, then you can pretty much just do what i'm doing sleek it back um and then just kind of brush it all forward, because i never skip baby hairs. I'M just going to start to kind of push them forward, because this gel will lock them into place so got ta. Think ahead. This is just the pattern edge brush with a random hair. Okay. So now that i have my baby hairs out of the way, then i can really lock the rest in just taking another section. I don't like to just you. You can kind of just go at it, but i feel, like you, get shiny spots and like spots where it's not as evenly covered. So that's why i kind of spread it in my hands and then apply because then you get a more even coverage. That way, and then in the back too, don't forget the back just because you want it to look as sleek. You know as sleek as possible, so once i have that into place, i'm just going to take a little bit of this bed head hard head. It'S extra strong, hold hairspray, i like it because it does hold extra strong and i'm just going to use that spray that in i'm not sure how water-based this one is. So if again, you're worried about your products being water-based, the whey, medium hair spray is absolutely elite. It'S not water-based, your hair will not revert and it will stay looking bomb for as long as you want it to so. Try that if you are worried about your hair, reverting in any way so once i have that just going to get a hair tie and tie this pretty tightly, i normally lack, and i don't tie things that tight, but for this ponytail i feel like it. It needs it to be real, nice and sleek and then again more of the gel and just really pushing that back now. I absolutely love wrap strips these. I get from amazon or the beauty supply store, but if you don't have wrap strips you don't want to order them. You don't want to go through that hassle right now, um! I you should get some rat strips, but if you don't have them, you can always use a satiny scarf. So i'm just going to fold my scarf. So it's more kind of rectangle than square and then use that just to lay this down, you want to get this started while you work on everything else, pretty much. So when it comes to the length of my hair, i don't want to create height. So my bun, i don't want my bun to be high. I want my bun to sit low like this and it makes it a lot more. I guess i don't want my ponytail to go up and then down. I don't want that height. I just want it to kind of move, so we're gon na go ahead and lock this into place and i'm just gon na take a scrunchie and just wrap that around the base. So really simple like that, and while i'm waiting for this to dry, i can just start working on my baby hair. This is completely up to you, like i said. If you wear baby hair, if you don't whatever you want to do whatever your style is so i'll just work on that so once i know my hair's dry about 10-15 minutes, then we can take off the scarf and, let's put on the ponytail i like to Brush mine out, i'm not gon na lie. It definitely needs to be washed, so we're gon na wash it. But i also wanted you guys to see what it looks like um, just the way that i've worn it in the photos, which has been a little bit more bouncy and kind of full, just from being worn, so yeah, let's just be real, i'm gon na show You how i make the ponytail match my hair color. So, as you can see um, this is definitely not my shade, but i make it blend in by using uh. This is a root, touch-up, spray age, beautiful root, touch up in darkest brown and what i do is before i put the ponytail on i like to just spray in the darkest areas and then kind of blend it downwards. And then, if i feel like, i need to spray a little bit more while the ponytails on then i can do that. I went on the site and saw that they've now started adding ponytails with darker roots. So honestly, i really just need to buy a new one, but i'm gon na go ahead and just take the little comb attachment and i put that in through the elastic elastic, not through the base of my hair. But through the elastic just like that. And then we can basically, i just tuck one end in and then this part here, which has the velcro and the extra hair. I just wrap it around like it's so easy. Just like that - and i like to do it as tight as i possibly can just like that, so that the bases is small, like i like a nice small base, i don't know if that makes sense, but we can go ahead and just start smoothing out our Wrapping hair and actually before we start wrapping the wrapping hair i like to have bobby pins ready. These are from pattern and they're like matte black bended curved these. You literally you one of these and nothing is moving ever ever. It has like this grip on it. So it's not going anywhere. I just need one of them, so i have that on my lap, ready to go and i'll start wrapping around the base and just smoothing as i go sometimes i'll leave it at one wrap, because i, like the way one wrap looks. It looks really nice and kind of small. If i do a second wrap, it tends to look a little bulkier, as you see like the base, is just a little thicker, so it's really up to you in your discretion. What you want to do, i think i'm going to go for one wrap actually today, so i'm going to take the excess and just hold it right near the base of the pony and then just take one of my pins just to pin it into place. So, as you guys can see here, it's just at the base of the pony in the back and like i said, i love these patterned bobby pins because they are slightly curved. So it really like contours to the shape of your head and the grip helps it literally just stay in place all day and that's it. So what i like to do now. This is just like optional um. Is i like to just attach the pony to my pony, so what i mean by, as you guys remember in the beginning, when i showed you, i flipped the ponytail over and you can see kind of just like the netting and where the ponytail or the hairs Kind of are attached i like to attach that to my bun, so i'm going to take so i'm going to take like an actual hair, pin one of the thin ones and i'll just basically attach that netted wefted part to my bun and, like i said completely Optional, but it just makes me feel secure. I know it's not gon na lift up or anything, not that it would. You know i'm just saying what, if i bend over or something like i just like security, i love security and absolutely none of these pins should hurt. There should be no pressure, there should be no pain if there is start over and figure out, because there should be absolutely no tension. You shouldn't feel any pins sticking you any of that. So i like to just brush it. You can style it. However, you want to style it. Sometimes i will style it like this, so it's like you know sometimes i'll just push it all to the back um. Sometimes it kind of just twists and does its own thing pretty much and yeah. That'S that's it. That'S the ponytail super easy uh. So what i like to do too, since you see that base here, is also not the right color, you can leave it. That'S fine um, but i like to just blend it. So just taking the root, touch-up spray and blending that in just like that, and so now everything is seamless everything looks cohesive. It looks like it makes sense: it's smooth, it's sleek. It was easy to do as you guys can see, and i love it. I have all the different styles. I need to get more colors uh, but they're easy to play with it. Changes up your look. As you can see, just looks cute. You know you're ready to go put together done so yeah.
