Hair Tutorial: Faux Braided Ponytail On 4C Natural Hair

Hey guys, I'm back with another video, and this video is just for to show you guys how I got my hair in this long, braided ponytail style. I was in a wedding, and I wanted to do this look so if you wanna see how I got this look stay tuned and I'm already starting. So what I did here would just take some hair out in the middle and I put it in a ponytail. I did this because I can't put my hair in one big ponytail, because it'll be too full into thick for my hands to hold. So this helps me a lot, so I'm just gon na detangle that section and I'm going to braid it up and out of the way. So here I'm just taking some Mardi hair that I had laying around it had the rubberband in there. But I'm like me use that I'm gon na switch that off with a Ashley's twin chi that'll be more safe for my hair, so it doesn't snag. My hair doesn't snag out with the ready band. So now that's on there we going to just simply wrap the band around our already existing ponytail and secure the Marley hair in and now that's in there we're going to move on to the perimeter hair. That'S hanging out, I'm just gon na pull that up and you see how easy it is for me to maintain my hair. It is so much easier and I could just hold my hair in one top ponytail and make sure you just move the hair out. So they'll have any lump so now, I'm just taking the knee-high stocking to secure that ponytail, because if I use in Ashley scrunchie, it's gon na be too much hassle for me to try to get all this long hair through a band. And this way was so much easier. For me, it was less tangled and it was less of a mess. Trust me so I just use a knee-high stocking and wrapped it around until the material was gone and I just tucked in the excess so to stay still. Now I have a security cell, but I still have my natural hair sticking out. So what I'm gon na do is, of course, detangle my hair and I'm going to start braiding my natural hair - and this is gon na - be easier for me to blend my natural hair with the monkey hair. Oh and in this video you domestic news, use any products on my natural hair, because I already pre moisturized my hair, as you can see. If you look at my hands, is nice and shiny? So now my hair is all braided up and I have the hair ready to be blended. So what I'm gon na do is take these three big braids that I did to my natural hair and I'm going to tuck that, in with the marley hair - and this is gon na help - create an illusion and try to blend my natural hair with the marley Hair, i'm not going to. I am not going to unravel my natural hair, i'm just gon na simply tuck it in and try to hide it when I'm doing my braids. This is very important in that you tug on your natural hair and make sure to stick it in inwards into the marley hair. So it doesn't stick out, so it can look very seamless and not as noticeable. Now that I have my natural hair, blended in with the Marley hair, I'm just going to simply braid the hair all the way down. Now it was it's gon na, be your option if you want a bigger braid or a smaller braid, but I just wanted a medium-size braid and I just simply braided the hair all the way down and I cut off any hanging or extra hair. That was there now, I'm just going to grab some water and some gel. I'M gon na use the eco styler gel to smooth my hair down, so we can even blend more with the Marley hair. So what I did was routes, my hair with some water smooth that water in and took a chunk of gel and applied it all around my hair. I mean a lot of gel to mimic them the texture of the Marley hair, because the Marlon hair has a bit of a little weight to it, and so the gel is gon na help set that look for me. So after I finished brushing in the gel with a hard bristle brush, I'm going to take a silk scarf and set that gel in for about an hour. So an hour has passed and our hair is nice and laid. So I did want to stop there, but you can stop here. I just took some extra hair and braided it all the way down, and you see this little hole here. I just stuck the hair through and I just wrapped it around to create a mini bun. Um this was optional. You don't have to do this step, but I felt like it gave my hair a little more something a little more pop, a little more extra that I needed, and I just make sure I stuck in any hair, that's out of place and make sure everything looks Together and that's about it, you guys, of course you can tame your edges with some eco styler gel or some edge control. I didn't want to do too much to my edges, because I wanted to look to be a nice simple. Look and that's all you guys. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I'll see you guys in the next one bye,
