All the information I'll make sure to have below, and I look forward to seeing you guys in September on my birthday, alright, keep it real until next time you guys peace, hugs, hmmm, tutorial time, babies. I am going to show you guys just a quick tutorial on how I get all of this all through this hair into kind of a sleek, either ponytail or bun. I'Ve used different products over the past. I have an old video where I show how I slit my hair down and at that time I had used a liquid styling gel that was very high in glycerin, as my leaving it's actually by elastic yupi okay. So this is my hair. I just kind of rinsed it there's, as you can see, still a little bit of residue in my hair from my'washington. I didn't shampoo. This is just going to be, for you know all intensive purposes, just to kind of show you guys what I would normally do on clean hair. Ok, I'm going to use the blue magic okay as my leave-in and obviously because this is just a ponytail, a bun kind of tutorial. This is going to be very quick, very simple. Normally, I would really apply this leave-in in sections, but this is only going to be for one day for today and then I will make sure that I've washed my hair and then I'll style it a you know at that time to make sure I get some Especially where I'm gon na apply that gel, but really you want to get it throughout your hair. I can still kind of get my hair back into a ponytail right now. Cuz, my hair is very wet. You can wear it as low as you want. You know. You can wear it low, you can wear it high and just for this tutorial, we're gon na add a little bit of hold on now, I'm just going to add just a little bit of gel and I'm not going to take a whole lot for my head. Just gon na start off with that. This is the clear okay, I'm just going to take it over the top a little bit other side, I'm just kind of smoothing it over the top. Now, the back, which is my kinkier area, I don't usually apply a whole lot of gel back there only because it won't do anything. My hair texture back there, even with the jail even styling it wet. It reverts right back into the really really kinky tight texture that it naturally is take some you take your band. Okay, try to get the con without the metal, and these are kind of extra thick. These are from my beauty, supply store, they're, not goodie or any particular brand; okay, okay, very smooth, and then, if you want to actually wear a bun of some sort, just gon na take a little bit of jail, okay, kind of smooth it over my ends. Let me turn around for you smooth it around. My ends, part it in half and I'm just going to twist one side. Then I'm going to take this other one with my hands around it and twist it. The other way. Take my other bands. Now some people are very, very, very meticulous with their styling. I am NOT, and so this is a nice protective style, no matter well depending on the length, but if you have enough to get into a little pony puff in the back, you can do this. It'S a nice protective style. It will keep those ends very moist for days. So during that time I just got went ahead put on some makeup and it's been about. Maybe 10-15 minutes we'll see what's going on underneath here. Really all I'm looking for it to be. Is yeah is smooth, and that is what it is. It'S not hard, but it's not going to get too too hard because of the leave in underneath still a little wet. The bun is wet to the touch or damp, but that's how I get my hair in a bun hope that helped you guys, you know quick tips, make sure you use enough. Leave-In, that's going to make your hair very slippery soft easy pliable! It'S already wet! So your hair should be pliable, but the leave-in conditioner will definitely help you with style and it's going to help give yourself or your hair a nice barrier between the jail and your hair. So I'll talk to you guys real soon, keeper ill until next time, bye, hugs

Have fun, but umm, make sure you sleep while you're there, because your videos are a crucial part to my tubing! lol. Congrats!
Mshellcat1971: I love wearing my hair in a bun, but I stopped because the gel was drying out my hair. I will try adding more leave-in conditioner and see if that works out better for me. Thanks for the vid!
Confessionsofbeauty: i just started watching your videos and i am really enjoying them, i have been natural for about 16 months now, and when i first went natural my hair was really nice and thick, than a friend of mine told me about henna for my hair and now my hair is flat no body, it not thin. i love big hair I just don't know what to do to get that thickness back
AGrlCanMAC: Congrats girl! That's great. :D
AFRICANEXPORT: @kwaiipanda26 Yes, they have different holds. Some have a level 10, 7, 5. The brown one is a protein gel , good for roller sets, the Krystal clear is good for slicking, the pink is for ... I forgot. They all have the same ingredients but I think the amount of certain ingredients vary. People speak about preferring one over the other for different reasons. Denimpixie did a video where she praises the blue one. Says it leaves her hair soft and not crunchy,
JeJe Benji: Ha! I knew you were a fellow Virgo!! Congrats on all your success, sis!
Brandy Mitchell-Hubbard: Supercute and easy. Great vid.

CandidAnn: wooo hooo, do you thing girlfriend! I'm not sure I'll be able to make it but I'm very happy & excited that you are taking this to the next level. Love that!
BloominLotus85: Hey! I love your videos! Where did you get your purple head towel from? I always struggle with my big towels after I wash my hair! Yours looked so light and easy to put on and take off! Thanks!
Ayana Weaver: I am so happy i didnt see a brush go accross your head. That is one of problems i use to have (Thinking i needed to slick my hair down w/ a brush to have a more "polished" look.) than i would strugle with tempora alopeshia. Love your videos!
Chrissy: Hey! Love your vids and your personality.. I was wondering if you wash your hair with sulphate shampoos after you use the Blue Magic, and if so, which do you use?
High Maintenance Minimalist: @NewNAturalChick PBI: Some dark women's underarms are naturally the same color as their skin (lucky), but if yours aren't, switching to an aluminum-free deodorant (I'm a big fan of the Crystal Essence ones) and waxing/epilating (NOT shaving) should even out your underarm skin in no time.
Empty Tome 303: Your nails are pretty, and they are my favorite color. Marvelous hair. God bless you.
idilali: great tutorial, iam learning a lot from your channel on how to maintain natural hair. quick suggestion though if you use toothbrush it will make the look smoother as well just by going over it.
naimadubois: Your earrings on the first part of this video are spectacular!
AFRICANEXPORT: @nikjohn77 I never really used it consistently but I did try the concoction, using a different leave in/conditioner and it worked well
CARAM3LK1SS3Z: im so glad i found ur channel...finally with someone who has my hair texture and isnt confused with what grade of hair they have...yaay!
lakitiamarie: Does the Blue Magic leave a residue? If so, does it disappear as your hair dries?
MsSherryBlossom: Awesome...I'm in NYC but if I can make it i'll be there...only 3 hours away by plane! I love your earrings and you are FUNNY!!! :) I also learned a great tip just watching this video that was mentioned to me from a subscriber and now I see what they mean! Thanks
Buttercup1206: Omg I am so excited for you!!! I wish I could come 2 hang out but I'm back in school and gotta stay focused. I have a 18mo old and vowed I would have my degree by the time she hits school. But I wish u many more blessings and a safe trip! Ttyl!
