I'M gon na keep it cheap. I don't say a word, but I'm saying this is me and welcome back to my channel, make sure that you hit the subscribe button and turn on the notification bell. If you like to learn how to get this slicked back, hair style thing continue watching so we're starting off this video with half of our hair, already a wet and slightly finger detangle. As you can see, we're doing a length check and my hair goes down to about my armpit like armpit length almost and I'm really excited about that. So, if we're just going to take our water and we're gon na spray, our other side of our hair, so that we can go ahead and start and beat the finger detangling that side so right here, I'm just getting all the hair strands from off of my Fingers - and this is about how much dead hair I usually get quality tangling, but multiply that by like three from my whole head. So now I'm just gon na go back through and try to get like my roots and just dampen it up a little bit more and continue to finger to tango honestly y'all. My hair has really came a long way like this length is so perfect to me, but of course, when it's dry it doesn't stay that length and that's what I don't like right now, I'm just showing you my curl pattern. I have like three different curl patterns and I really want to say I'm between like a 4b and 4c, but I love my natural hair in this, like this, so freaking good. So yes, so I'm taking this three layer, comb that I got from Target and it was really good for natural hair and it's also good for curl, defining and imma. Take it and I'm gon na do a part on the side and that I went starting at the arch of my eyebrow and imma going again and do a curved part. Like you see right here, and I like curve price, because I feel like it's more flattering. Going in with my paddle brush, I'm gon na go ahead and further detangle, some more and just to flatten it out that way. It will make the process of putting it into a ponytail or way more easier. So I'm gon na go ahead and get the roots weighting it back up and then brush some warrior all right. So you see the difference between the side that I detangle with the brush and the side that still really poufy from just finger detangling and now here's another curl shot. You decide on what you think my hair texture is: I'm not really big on that, but now I'm going in on the other side, which has the most hair, because it is a side part, so, whatever side that the part is going towards the side. That'S gon na have the most hair. That'S the side. That'S gon na take the most work to detangle, which is why it is good to finger detangle and then do the paddle brush detangling. It'S gon na take a lot of work, but if you want your hair to lay flat trust me, this is the way to go. I got some raw African shea butter. Usually I don't use this I mean. Sometimes I do use it in my hair, but not for my uh slicked back styles. Most of the time I use the cream in nature, hair lotion that is like that make sure hair is so soft and so shiny. But I ran out - and I haven't be stuck toning - it so I'm taking the shea butter and I warmed it up in my hair and I'm just moving it on the top, hoping that it gives me the same shine as that criminate, your hair lotion. Do then I'm gon na go in and with my eco styler gel and I'm just gon na keep the gel towards the root, but not touching the root like I'm, not taking it all the way down to the ends, and I'm just have a person who don't Really like the feeling of gel, is it just it's so nasty, as you can tell on my face, so I keep it towards the root that way I don't have to have too much excess product in the ponytail. Now I'm gon na go in with my paddle brush and I'm gon na start its licking it down with that first and just so that I can get a good foundation and so that it can already be kind of molded to where I want it to be. At now, I'm about to use my bristle brush, which is in between like hard and soft, but more so towards the harder side, and I'm about to take my hair and smooth it down into the ponytail. And for this you want to make sure that you really really work in the hair, but also be careful because it's natural, hair and bristle brushes aren't really. You know a good combo like it puts a lot of stress on your hair. But if you want your hair to be slick, that's what you got ta use and you can see me going back and forth between the bristle brush and the paddle brush, because the Prado brush it really gets the roots smooth down. So now that I have my hair in the ponytail, I'm gon na go ahead and pull on putting till just to make sure everything is smooth and I'm gon na take this headband that doesn't have any metal on it. So I won't have any slack in, and I'm gon na put my hair in the ponytail and then pull on it again, just to make sure everything is nice and tight right here, I'm just going and in perfecting my little Bank or whatever. You would like to call it and perfect in my part doing this is the same thing like doing your edges like you would just need to make sure that you get it, how you like it, and you just have to play around with it a lot, and I'M just going ahead and smoothing down the side where I'm gon na put my edges at and I'm gon na go in with my 24 hour edge tamer and my toothbrush and i'ma just smooth that down there's already equal style gel on my hair. So I don't have to go in with more of that for my edges and I was going to film, you don't want my edges, but the angle wasn't really that good and I was really struggling place. I have another video of me doing the middle part slicked back with me, drawing my edges on that. So if you like to see that, then you go to that pedido, but now I'm just going to smoothing fluffing out my ponytail okay. So I know you look at this and you're like two scarves, like okay, you're, a stripper now sis you need two stars when doing any type of the slicked-back. You need a scarf to secure the back of your head, because a big pet peeve is when I wake up in the morning, and everything is flat, except for the back of my head. So I'm taking this silk scarf and I'm wrapping that around the back and I'm taking another silk scarf and I'm wrapping it around the top and when you're securing that you want to make sure that you spread out the sides of the scarves like so so that You'Ll be able to cover a lot of the surface area of your head, signing all intelligence stuff. Yes, so now, as you did, that and you're guaranteed that your hair will be laid and slayed for the next okay.
