How To Wear A Ponytail With Short Natural 4C Hair Ft. Betterlength

Hey everyone, so today's collaboration is going to be with better length. This is the drawstring ponytail 16 inches and it has been a texture. Afro kinky curly here is what the packaging looks like all of their packaging, for their products are like always super pretty, and what comes aside is the hair itself and a little booklet that tells you how to take care of your hair all right now, i'm going To remove the hair, where you can see what it looks like straight out of the packaging, it does have a top comb, a bottle comb and also a drawstring. So right here i was just pretty much playing around with placement and trying to figure out where exactly i wanted the hair to be, but i'm actually going to put it right here at the top middle crown of my hair. So i wore this v part wig, and now i'm going to remove it right here, i'm just manipulating my hair so that i can try to get rid of that middle part right there. I had most of my hair braided under the wig. So now i'm just going to remove all of my braids, i have short natural 4c hair and it has really grown. I did my big chop in november of 2021, so this is about 14 months of natural hair growth. For me, alright, so i'm just combing. All of my hair up to the crown of my head to see if i can actually put my hair in a ponytail, this is my first time actually trying it seriously trying to see if i can just get it all up to stay. So what i actually am going to do first is i'm going to straighten my hair that'll, make it easier for my hair to stay up because, right now it's really thick and puffy. So i'm going to use a straightening brush and i'm just going to go row by row and straighten my hair and then i'll be able to put it up in a ponytail batter alright. So this is what my short natural 4c hair is looking like completely straightened. It'S not bone straight, it's just straight enough with the um straightening brush, where i can like manipulate it better, and i am going to be able to get it up into a little bitty ponytail. For some reason, i thought it would be a good idea to try to do some baby hairs, even though my 4c hair is not having it, but i decided to go for it anyway, considering that i had straightened it, but um i'm going to be using this Ors and once i put it on there, i noticed that it had a bit of build up, so i just basically applied less. I don't know if i need to change products, or maybe my hair just doesn't absorb products that good, but once i put a little bit less on there, the build up was pretty much pretty much couldn't see it anymore, all right now. This is the part where i think i messed up using the eco styler gel. I think i should either just use a hairspray or something else, but by this being water-based i was not thinking, because i am fully natural and my hair, just literally reverted you guys are going to be able to see it literally within like seconds that my hair Is going to start reverting, so let me know down in the comment box what i should have done instead of using the gel, but in my head i was using the gel to make the style last longer and to make it be in place. But with my hair, it just literally went and reverted so since i've added all of the gel and i've got the ponytail as quick as i could get it, i figured there was no going back, so i just use these wrap strips right here to just try To mold my hair into place since it's moist right now with the gel i figured, i could mold it with these wrap strips, so i left it on there for about a few hours before taking it down alright. So, as for the ponytail, i basically wanted to look a little more frizzy, because my hair is looking frizzy right now, so i basically just like really teased it with the brush and then i also went back through and teased it with my hand just to try To get it a little bit more frizzy all right now, i'm removing the wrap strips, and this is what my hair is looking like right now, you
