Hello, everyone - this is Michelle, and today I'm gon na show you how I do my ponytails is a quick tip and trick. I think a lot of you are going to enjoy, especially those of us who have finer. You know, thinner, hair and our ponytails. Just aren't right: we need a little bit of help. The bobby pins hurt. You know, you'll feel like so anything online. You know, so this is a way that you can get your ponytails look snatched, I feel, like I mean I've been doing it, it's a lifesaver. I'M in a matter of minutes person you want to need obviously you're going to need yourself, a ponytail urban arms. You need yourself a ponytail holder, I'm get the ones without the silver clips on them. You'Re gon na need some hair of your choice, guys I'm using crochet braids hair. So there's another way you could utilize crocheting Erin thing without having to sew in any. We already know we talked about what happened. Okay can't happen since some of us alright. So I'm going to be using this today and this is a see, Motown tres, better light Havana twist braid hair been using this for like six seven months. If the twisted hair - and it's already like in crochet home, you know so I think the twisted foam with a little loop right here - okay, you can leave it like this. If you want to what twisted bags totally up to you, but what I like to do is I like to open it up and the reason I like this hair. First of all, it's like I've solved his hair in a word I'll. Just won't. Let you know that, but this kind of looks like my hair, looks in a twist out. Okay, this is what it looks like um so and I saw her eyes. I thought it looks really realistic. So that's why I went for really did it again: brilliant Alyssa? What you want to do is, instead of crush on this onto your hair, basically kind of crocheting onto a hair bow. Okay, so here we go right here is the bow and then see make sure you can see just like, like suppose this is the braid. We just don't need the crochet needle right. You just go under okay. You got your loop here like you, normally would crochet right. Here'S your loop and you see that work with me all right. Here we go. There'S a loop all right, you kind of open it up with your fingers and put through just like that. They do that all the way around do that for Bob put about ten to twelve on there all right and wrapping the ring. Let me show you right now: I have one old as we speak a lot of times. You know if you wash your hair and stuff you're, just happy your hair is clean. Your scalp is clean. You don't feel like doing it doing the whole getup twist outs and all that it's just kind of stretched. It'S okay! Here we go so this will be. Guy right will be going like this. You know I have gone out like this, but I'm saying this isn't inspiring. Okay, it's just not alright and basically it's just part of all the way down. I just sloppily did this okay, I wash my hair and you put all my layers and stuff in and sealed it and just braided it up like so I didn't feel like it. I'M gon na use one that I've been using the needs. Don'T last that long, I will let you know that you will need to redo this, maybe once a week because it can start looking like this. I mean it's. Okay, if that's look natural, but you know right now. This is kind of crazy, so it's gon na work, alright, so about every week you probably get yourself a fresh one. Many texts, your hair, don't have to be this hair because your ponytails gon na be snatched right. So it really doesn't matter a matter of fact. Let me go ahead and just try to smooth this out a little bit. I have just a boar bristle brush and it is damp just dampen it with a little bit of war, I'm going to do the little baby hairs up to I'm just showing you have good. It'S especially when we go don't feel like you have to have a part or anything like that. You can just do a whole ponytail just have it break it up? If you want, you can take your grader loose or you want to keep it braided and just tuck it around it's just totally up to you like tuck it inside with the hair. Over top totally up to you. I just keep it out. Nobody can see you can see. Of course you want to let you a little bit on something, that's going to lay it down like uh. You can use a hair gel light hair in jail or like a setting kind of pudding kind of cream. You know just to make sure that your hair, ladies a lot of the times I was damping it put that on there. Then I will get me a scarf here: okay and lay it down just like that, tie it and lay it for about twenty fifteen. Twenty minutes, so it's inset, then everything will be nice and you know flat and flush to the hair next to sleep, okay, but I'm you know, you know how to do. No, you know that right. So all you do is put it on. Okay, take your ponytails hope, leave the see. Oh, what's the card in the back, it's been a few days guys bear with me. Alright, I'm going to turn around. Hopefully you can see everything you need to see, I'm holding all right and parching. You know everything would be smooth out at perfect world, I'm going to take. It thinks it would probably look better um. If you, you know if you have just one ponytail but like I said I started off with two. Sometimes I even do braids in two braids right here. I have videos where I've done that, but okay, so anyway, they see what you're gon na do is gon na kind of put the hair. All you know together and then just apply. Your ponytail looks like it's. Not going to work right on you, I've been doing this all year. Nobody knows I feel like it looks pretty good, especially in a clutch. When you know you just cannot, then it's point a dozen to be a little bit tired. So you know can't be a loose ponytail, so so I'll, let you know that I feel like it's um. In my opinion, I feel like it's more comfortable than all those bobby cans and stuff, and it's you know for me. I can't believe you, the crochet, hair and really Braden's encroaching in too much so this is a great alternative. All right, I'm not sure I don't have eyes in back of my head, can't really see what's happening, oh, but try them share pics cool down Mike. I see a little break here, but that's okay. It'S like your hair is just that long right. This is what it looks like on the side. This is the other side, here's the top. You know it's not going anywhere guys and while I okay, we got ourself a ponytail. All you have to do is just fan it out. You know and get it to how you want it to be Missy, okay, yeah. It'S kind of fan it out how you want, you can add more hype. Like the you know, the big kind of afro hair you can do like the curly sleeker hair. Okay, it just all depends on this long. Well, it depends on how you can smooth this down just make sure this is smooth, no matter what you try. Okay, so I'm going to try to slick it down just a little bit more I'll, find me some jail hold on just a second. Are you stood at with me if you are hey but you're gon na like this i'm i really suggest that you try, especially let's just have one okay girl. Just have it on hand, put a little bag, keep it in your purse, keeping you at work on me. You just never know those days when you you just can't let that, with my dumb using eco, styler gel, you don't use this don't use. This is not what you probably want to use, but I'm just showing you the demonstration purposes just trying to get it to lay right and then cause you wan na. Do your baby hair flakes up like crazy, but this is what I have guys. That'S got to get all my last and elbow you use. What I want is a side area here too much too much, and you know I'm not going for like perfect or perfection. Let'S say perfect baby here, I'm not really going for that. Just good enough right. I'M not yeah so right by the way you see this part. I don't know if you knew, but this part was much wider months ago, much wider, so hair still going great or still going well hair journey, whatever okay keep going alright. So I'm going to keep on brushing this down again. This brush is damp, I'm just smoothing the ponytail out and again, like I said, it's 100 % better um, 100 % better guys when you smooth everything down and lay it down with the scarf okay. But you know the second time, I'm not. You know how to do that feel like that's like a basic, a basic in ponytail world right now, I'm gon na just smooth everything out now you can do your little curls how you want to just make it look! A little bit softer, so it's not so hard exactamente. That'S the look! You want it's totally up to you. You can use a toothbrush to get your baby hair go on and all of that uh and it works too um. You know what I like love. This is called small to a comb. It doesn't rip for me. I feel like I'm. Okay, that's good, you know say all right. You know see that is regular, hair. Okay, sorry, no! We know and yeah I just like to do it like this and just kind of you know, look as natural as it possibly can. Look. You know, especially those of us. You know it just not edges, but the hairline is receding a little bit. You know you know yeah just kind of make it look a little messy, not perfect and then and it's okay, to show a little bit of that. You know it doesn't have to be all perfect. You see like you, can see it's thinning right there. That'S! Okay! You know me, you don't want everybody to know, but just kind of it's all right. It doesn't have to be super perfect as when I'm saying and it's seen, looks more natural see and you might done girl. This is what you do so, hopefully that back look right, like I said I could achieve it, lay it down like I said you don't have to have it, though you can have it at the time you could have it in the middle. You have had to do little to ponytail how people are doing that or the top knot. This is then up here and you can't get it right here under your hair. You can do that and fake it like that, and then have the rest of your hair out five different ways. You can utilize this little ponytail trick. So anyway, you guys have a super great week. I will see you next Thursday - maybe Tuesday, hopefully still working on it, but I was gon na be able to do it this week when I Clint it was my daughter's I'm 16th birthday. What was I thinking so I had a lot to do. It have a super great week. Love you guys, think you can support them with you like share, subscribe and comment. Let me know if you enjoyed this tutorial and if you want to see more beauty tutorials like I was getting requests for thing. I try.

Yes, so I tried to like pull some hair out just to kind of give myself a shape. I know one of the pieces: okay, look it up on there. There you go
