A Week In My Natural Hair | My Wash Day Routine, Styling, My Fav Products, Growth Tips + More!

First, things first uh welcome to a new video. I'Ve never done a video like this. On my channel, the closest thing I've probably done was like trying to curly hairstyles for a week. I look absolutely insane so this is day. I can't even tell you when's the last time I washed my hair. Honestly, it's probably been at least two weeks and it's definitely starting to look like it and if you think we're watching it today, boy, oh boy, you're wrong. I was gon na wash my hair today, but then the laundry list of things that I had to do just got so long. I just said: f: it we're just gon na wash my hair tomorrow, so I'm gon na show you guys how I'm gon na manage to save this last day of claw clip slick back bun, because Lord knows she is at her wits and My Curls are flat. Baby, it's it is my hair matte, oh yeah. She needs to get washed, so I'm gon na show you guys how I refresh or just bring my hair back to life. My hair is dry, so I know exactly what I need to be doing for said refresh. I'M gon na be going in with the swap professionals, natural, shea butter and pure coconut oil conditioner, as well as the leave-in conditioner. I'M also going to be using a little bit of the meal rosemary oil, because this helps my hair grow. So much I'm gon na be going in with this continuous setting misting water bottle. This is also on my Amazon storefront. It literally just sprays, so you don't have to keep doing it and it's the easiest way to get my hair wet. I like to mix these two conditioners, leave-in and regular conditioner, because regular conditioner just creates so much slip and my hair is actually quite insane swab. I don't know how you do it, but I will live and die by this line. I actually need to go pick up another bottle, but since my tangling is so like, I want to say extreme a little bit more than what I'm used to I'm gon na. Do my hair in fourths. Today, usually, I'm able to refresh my hair in like 15-20 minutes when I split in half. That'S when I do it like on a weekly basis. Something tells me it's not gon na happen today. So we're just raking this through right now, really saturating it. I'M actually just gon na go ahead and put like the slightest bit, because my hair is on the thinner, slash finer side. Just a couple drops like literally nothing crazy, this much nothing crazy at all, because my hair does not do I want to say it doesn't. Do oil well, but because it is on the thinner side, it does get weighed down a lot easier. I want to be a finger detangling girly, I just don't get down like that. So I just take my brush: go from ends up and usually my ends are just the worst Parts, because the ends of hair are just things that get rubbed on the most like against clothes. They get. You know tugged on the most when you're styling them, and it's just my ends, get tangled very easily, but once they're, usually Tangled the rest of like my hair, shaft and roots, are very easy to, like you know, come out just like that. She'S calmed out. So now that one side of my hair is fully combed out, I'm just gon na rake, through with my fingers, to break out these curls a little bit and then I'm gon na braid. This up and move over to the other side, which is typically the more difficult side for me just because I tend to lay on this side of my head more so breakage is more prone to the side of my head, so I have to be a little Bit more careful yeah, it really does not take long for me to do my hair. It'S actually going a lot faster than I thought. It'S probably the conditioner is working overtime because I know y'all saw that big ball of hair. That big knot. I can call it a mat, I can call it a mat. My hair was gon na lock, something that I also like realize hello, something that I also like realized that Loki forgot about is that this Mio oil is used for like split end treatment and I've. Never had like really bad split ends. Surprisingly, because of the way I like treat my hair, but before anybody yells me for putting this straight like on my hair shaft, it is a split end treatment as well as a scalp treatment, can y'all see that chaosia clearly. Can only imagine how much my hair would have grown if I was serious about oiling my scalp with like just period, I really use like protective styles as a way to grow my hair and the way that I have seen hair growth in my hair from protective Style specifically locked with literally low maintenance, the most I did with them was wash my scalp every week, if not every other week. I'M in, like my hairline, my edges, my little kitchen area and I noticed the biggest difference. My hair grew so much and just like even comparing stuff such as like slickback sizes, like you, can really see the difference in my hair growth and people always ask me: what have you done to grow your hair and keep it so healthy locks? I love a braided bust down as much as the next girl, but me since my hair is on the thinner side and my hair is type three box holding my hair a lot better, I'm gon na say it's because of the girl who does my locks Naya, Because she does them in a way where they don't slip and they don't weigh down too much on my hair in braids. I feel like because my hair is thinner, it's harder to hold on to the actual braid, because I'm not listen all the way, but it's just a little different everybody's hair type is different, but box has definitely helped me grow my hair to the point where, like Maybe I want to cut it. You know I am gon na put my hair back into that claw clip, but now that everything is like refreshed and hydrated and looking a lot, you know like I care about myself, I'm about to kill this of an NYC therapy session hair mask The Emptiness speaks For itself, there's little literal crumbs on this thing, I'm gon na seal all this. In with this mousse defining texture, foam, it detangles conditions defines and shines. I don't want to add more gel to the top, because there's already so much adding this little mousse to the top just to deal with those little flyaways and it kind of looks more like effortless, in my opinion, somewhat close-up of what my hair currently looking like. It'S not too bad. It looks a lot better than earlier. I feel like I could have done a close-up earlier, but quite frankly I didn't come with the idea until just now she's, so smart she's, so slay, I'm outside baby girl. Somebody told me that you're looking for ways to grow your hair you've come to the right place when it comes to doing my hair. I'M honestly the laziest person ever as you can see in this video. So I'm going to keep this cute short and to the point my first tip for you for growing your hair moisture. If you're not moisturizing your hair, I don't know what you expect. Plants can even grow without water. So what makes you think your hair is going to grow if it's dehydrated make sure you apply your favorite leave-in conditioners, leave in treatment. If you want to get those really good good and refresh your hair, you don't have to do a wash day every week and do every two weeks every three weeks. As long as that hair is moisturized. That'S the best thing you can do for yourself and said hair. My next tip styling stop leaving your hair in a slickback for 10 to 15 business days. It'S crusty it's brittle and it's breaking try to find some low maintenance hairstyles that you can try and get more than one day of use. Out of that, you can literally just keep your hair in for two to four days and just make sure you refresh throughout y'all, have heard the protective style talk, but you never got it from me. I don't know if you've ever heard of this cute little thing called locks, but you should definitely try it. I love braids, I love knotless. I love a knotless bust down, but locks are really where it's at and quite frankly, locks. Don'T take that much upkeep. If I'm really being honest with you, you don't want to take the locker out and still get protective styles if you're gon na get whatever you want, which I can't tell you what to do, because I'm not you or your bank account. So I can't tell you what you can and can't do with your hair and your money, your protective style desires. But I can tell you, if you're going to keep them in for a long time, keep them oiled, moisturized and clean, because if you're, literally just keeping in protective styles for six months and not putting any moisture in it, why are you blocking your blessings? Let'S go back to our regularly scheduled program and I hope you guys enjoy hold on. Is it recording good afternoon it's day two. I just wanted you to see my outfit before I took it off because I think it's so freaking cute. No, I did not take pictures in it. I have on this vintage Harley Davidson. Okay, let me I have on this vintage Harley-Davidson top uh. My boyfriend gave it to me because it was too small for him. This is the bath. I think it's super cool. I have a white long sleeve on underneath and I also have on khaki cargo's hair this with my camo Nike down. It'S so cute like I did not have to eat y'all up like that, you're probably wondering why is there a tarantula on your neck? I got a new mic for my camera, it's wireless and you all can hear me no matter where I go and it's not gon na go in and out. I'M also testing this out to see just how well the sound quality is with different noises. Aka we're gon na be using this during wash day and, of course, the three camera setup that y'all know and love so ignore the mines we're about to get into some dirty, filthy and exhausting work. And I am not the biggest fan of said wash day just because I just would rather be doing anything else. We'Re gon na wash I've been deep conditioning, my hair since yesterday. Technically so we're gon na wash that out in a shampoo condition and we're gon na style. Slash, do my little product recommendations and setting and everything like that. First, I have to change because I'm not I'm not wearing this to wash my hair so I'll be right. Back, let me get in some more comfier clothing, or at least you know not this wow, I don't know my boyfriend's boxers all on the internet in your draws. Please I'd be pissed, I'm about to just wear my boyfriends and he's just gon na have to laugh at me because he thinks me wearing his clothes is funny instantly. It'S not my fault, he'd be having that on um. I would also like to say that I do not like to wash my hair in the shower. It stresses me out tremendously, because I hate the feeling of hair, so we're gon na wash in the tub. I initially was gon na like get in the shower, have like the tripod here and me over there, but it's messy. It'S not realistic, so we're just gon na see you wash my hair in the sub who gives today for shampoo and conditioner y'all know how I feel about her. This is the Suave professionals sulfate free cleansing, shampoo, with natural shea butter and pure coconut oil for natural hair, with no sulfates, no parabens, no dyes and it's color safe and it gently cleanses and moisturizes. Then I have the matching moisturizing curl conditioner that detangles softens and enhances curls Suave. I love you, you will always be famous she's still wet from yesterday, but she's detangled and that's all I really care about something foreign. This is my hair, initially no product. I think it looks pretty good something I've recently been doing. I like to go in with conditioner first, just because this conditioner is so good and it's so lightweight doesn't weigh my hair down. I think it does nothing but add volume and shine to my hair. Then I go in with the swab nourish and strengthen leave conditioner right after that, not nearly as much usually if I don't use one of the other I'll use like a full amount, but I'll use like a little bit of both but like in layers so conditioner. First leave-in conditioner after so I hope that makes sense because if it doesn't that's embarrassing, so yeah and then after that I like to go in with the you guessed. It Suave um, curl, defining cream which enhances your natural curl pattern with softness and shine. And that's exactly what it does and then finally, the newest addition to my routine is in fact moose. I picked up this mousse a couple of videos ago. It'S the dokes Dukes, most defining uh texture foam all in one Styler for all hair types. It detangles conditions defines and shines all in one step. It does nothing but like add on to the stuff that Suave already does so all in all to say this routine is Flawless this routine. It brings me nothing but joy and I'm gon na put water in this continuous spray bottle. Y'All always ask me where I get these from nine times out of ten, I'm gon na, say Amazon at this point. What can't you find on Amazon but yeah? This is from Amazon, I'll link this in my beauty, Amazon storefront. I want to watch something while I do this, because I love it ASMR mom as much as the next person, but I need something: Lisa anua just uploaded her weekly diary. So it's an hour and a half I'm tuning in, oh God, foreign love. Thank you. I just finished my hair um you're having Elliot your hair is literally White she's doused in product. I have to put so much product like in my hair. I have high porosity hair um. If you don't know what that means, my hair basically sucks up water and liquids very easily, it's very hard for me to like go a day without refreshing, my hair. So if you notice me refreshing my hair or reapplying products, frequently my hair sucks up water and hair product like there's no tomorrow and kind of all my beauty, things like makeup, skincare, hair care, I spend the most on hair care just because I have to buy It so frequently, which is why I'm a stand for Suave, because I tend to want to look for stuff. That'S like on the cheaper end of the spectrum, like you wouldn't catch me buying Diva Curl like once a month. I love my hair. I love everything about it, but if you're concerned that my hair is going to have a white cast or it's going to be flaky or there's going to be a little hair crust in it, I promise you give it like four hours and it's it's it's it's. It'S gon na be gone like I. I can almost guarantee that my hair will air dry and be perfectly Brown initially reached the end of my wash day routine. I am I air drying girly. My hair takes three to four business hours to air dry, and this is simply because my I don't know how to diffuse my hair properly. Yet I have this attachment and I noticed that it just makes my hair very frizzy, at least the way that I diffuse. My hair makes it very frizzy the way I typically do it. If you have some constructive criticism, is I'll do the roots first and then I'll scrunch like the ends, if you have any way that I can like get rid of that phrase, because I would love for my hair to be dry in 20 minutes like I would Take 20 minutes over four hours any day. I typically like to wash my hair in the evenings or nighttime in the morning. If I wash my hair and finish it at 10, my hair is probably not going to be dry until like two, so it's like I'd, rather just do it in the evening, because my hair does make a full 180 between now and like four hours. Okay, we are oh, this lighting's bad, so we're gon na use my laptop, not my fave thing to do, but we move it's currently 6 31.. This is the current state of it. The side of my hair is definitely still wet. Um. This side is drying. I'D say it's about 30 dry. As you can see, my hair is all ready shrinking up. It'S still flat, no volume. All right. I can tell it to drying because it's getting a little Crunchy, just like scrunch it a little bit as we go um just to prevent that a little bit um, but not too much, because I don't want to make my hair frizzy. So it's really just like a if I feel like I'm gon na, do it or if I feel like I need it, I'm gon na do it, but if I don't feel like, I need a scrunch, my hair, I'm not gon na. Do it, because I stress myself out and do that and ruin my hair yeah, I'm really not doing anything right now, besides, editing catching up on Aaliyah's face her travel Vlog and looking at my analytics and planning content. This is such a side note, but let me show y'all something I'll see this long ass list. Okay, I still have to do these things tonight. It'S for homework, it's only 6 30.. So I still have time, but I was not playing with y'all this week when it came to the content. Literally, I had Tick Tock and YouTube shorts content all scheduled, slash ready to post, like literally up until Sunday. The only thing that I have to worry about posting and still like filming this week is this video that I'm doing right here and today is the sixth I'm not I'm not playing with y'all like even until early next week. I have stuff ready like I am not playing with y'all. I really hope I can keep this up. People always ask me Lee: how do you stay so like productive and stuff in school with content creation baby? If he wasn't for notion, which is what I just showed you, we would not be here uh between notion Apple calendar. We would not be here also. I forgot to tell y'all it's kind of like a given, because I feel like nobody's curl pattern. Super consistent. The side of my hair is curls, are so much more limp than the side like there's so much tighter on this side and because there's harder they shrink. The side of my head is just like. I'M gon na give it like 3A, maybe three be on a good day, but some people are just so like long instead of curly they're like wavy, it's odd. So usually I just finger coil those later in the week, but yeah like what is up with this one, long piece and watch as soon as I cut that little piece off it's going to shrink right up and be uneven. All around like, I feel like. I can't win, but that's another issue for another day, so this is my hair right now, um she's kind of cute welcome to curly hair lessons with Alia, I'm your host Alia and today we're going to be talking about hair porosity. If you don't know what hair porosity is, hair prostate is basically the process and how your hair absorbs liquids and moistures. There'S three types of hair porosity, low high and normal high porosity hair hair gets wet very very easily, so it obtains moisture a lot easier than low porosity hair. If you have low porosity hair, it probably takes you a little bit longer to get your hair wet. If you're curious about your hair policy, because you feel like you can't tell common tip to actually testing this out - is chopping off a tiny piece of your hair and putting it in a glass of water and if it floats, you have low porosity. But if it sinks to the bottom, you have high porosity and if it stays kind of in the middle, you probably have normal with. That being said, thank you for coming to curly hair tips with Alia, and let's get back into our Regency schedule, program hi! It'S like nine something I have the exact time stamp since I'm filming this on my phone, but it's like nine something another hair update. She shranked. That'S what my hair does it's, what all curly hair does, but it doesn't look bad. This is kind of what I'm working with this little hair always separates from the front. It'S really not bad. It actually looks kind of good. It'S just flat. It'S like 80 percent dry, we're still waiting for this little. Like Crown, can you even see that those little Crown section right here to fully dry because it still feels a little cold to the touch but we're almost there um? I probably give it like another hour or so I'm gon na shower for the night. I will be throwing that shower cap on because I don't want to ruin my hair also kind of the bottom still needs to dry. Part of me just wants to diffuse it because like if it's mostly dry, I don't think it can get too frizzy, but yeah. This side always gets more frizzy first compared to this one. I don't know why, because it's not like. I touch this side more. I actually touch this side more, so yeah I just I just I told you we're getting somewhere. My hair is taking its sweet time today. I don't know if it's because it's cold in this house or what but she's taking her sweet time. I need her to hurry up, because I literally can't go to sleep until it's fully dry foreign good morning, everybody. How are you today it's day three I got up a little while ago. I was supposed to have class today, but my period is starting. You know how that goes like I'm, I'm not gon na sugarcoat it. I don't feel that well, my stomach hurts. My head. Hurts for some reason every time my period starts, the size of my butt are really sore and like the sides of my knees, but it's only when my period starts super weird. I don't really know what that's about, but I thought I should show you guys. My little day two, this is my hair right off the wake up. It doesn't look as bad. It'S definitely not as big as it normally is. Considering. I didn't pick it out last night because I fell asleep, because I started not feeling well last night um. This is what my hair looks like right off the Wake Up, No pick just took my Bonnet off just took it out of the hair tie. It was in usually when it comes to doing my hair. I just put it in a pineapple and put a bottle on a call today. Some people use scarves. Some people use other things, I'm not one of those people, so thankfully my hair is obviously it's doing pretty well today. I'Ll give her that she's a little flat, though not flat, but just not as big as I would want. So I'm just going to go ahead and with this pick and call it a day, I love when my hair is Big. My hair, being big, is a part of my personality. All I really like to do was take the pick and go to my roots and tug it just a little bit. I lift different parts up make sure everything is pretty, even especially the back, because I noticed that I tend to. I forget the back a lot, but I pay extra attention to like the sides, because I feel like my hair, when it's picked out, it frames my face very, very well and very naturally so, honestly, I'm not gon na lie to you. This is probably all we're going to do to my hair today, because it looks actually really good. Like are you serious my day, two hair always looks so good. I know it's only gon na get bigger throughout today. I really don't have like a set method for picking my hair. I just pick it to my liking and right now I think the size is pretty good, but in the back still feels flat, so yeah, I'm just picking my hair today. I don't even think I'm gon na do my edges or anything like that. I'M just gon na leave it 100 natural and out no extra thing typically like to bring my hair to the sides, as you can see, but it's a little uneven just because my hair low-key grew into a natural like wolf cut and it's very very annoying. So the back is definitely going to shrink up by itself. Let me see how it looks in the back yeah my hair. Definitely like it evens out. I promise it evens out and if it doesn't, I just pull it up to the sides like this and literally call today and since I have a hoodie on it makes it a little bit easier to hide that extra length, like literally the perfect low maintenance, say That I really need it, because I'm really not trying to do the most with it today like I just I really don't feel like it. My body hurts I'm sore. My stomach is hurting like this is. This is exactly what I needed. My hair thinks it has a natural middle part, baby, no you're, a side, part girly at heart, like I just think this is so much more flattering. You like better about the middle part, me personally, I'ma, always Rock the side part, because I feel like it's more flattering. Who cares if a little bit of this big ass forehead is showing I'm gon na use this at the NYC, just glisten body and hair shine? Mist add shine, enhances curls and it's weightless, so I'm just gon na. I don't like to use a lot. This literally smells like um hairspray, but it doesn't even have like a wet consistency. I don't know what you would call this consistency. I know it's. Some sort of liquid, but just to make my hair a lot shinier. I like to use this um because it's fun and I like to flip my hair back and forth. It adds a little bit more volume, nothing too crazy, but Yep. This is this. Is the hair we're rocking with today? I think this is a great day too. I feel, like my hair, could definitely be bigger. I kind of want to wear my hair out again tomorrow, just to see how big it can actually get um. It definitely will get bigger throughout today, because y'all know I'm constantly fiddling with my hair um, it's a really bad habit, but it's not my fault that my hair has a mind of its own. She looks good today, I'm not mad at this. I'M not mad about this at all. Welcome to how to sleep with curly hair sleep with curly hair does not have to be hard, no more waking up in your curls or flat dead lifeless. The first thing you need to do is: go ahead and prep your hair to go into a bonnet and or scarf. My favorite thing to do is put my hair in a pineapple and then put my Bonnet and or scarf on. My personal favorites are bonnets from Scotch bonnets by Danny, go ahead and put on your silk or satin bonnets. This can be a scarf, a bonnet anything that's going to protect your hair. If you want to be extra careful - because I know y'all want it to be coming off at Night, My Scotch bonnets by Danny could never, but I digress make sure you put a silk or satin pillowcase on your pillows at night. With that being said, you can literally just go to sleep and call it a day. It'S really not that hard. Thank you for tuning in for our curly hair tips with Alia go ahead and continue on with our regularly scheduled program. I am not right off the wake up. I'M not gon na sit here and lie to you. This is not right off the wake up, because I actually got up and got McDonald's this morning for breakfast, and I do something with my hair and also to document how I put my hair up last night, because I didn't. I slept right in that pineapple with Nirvana, don't scream at me. I know. What'S bad, I don't want to do a half up half down today. I feel like I haven't done one of those in so so so so so long, my hair right after taking it down out of the bun she's still going strong. My Curls are still very defined. As of today I could leave my like this. I wouldn't mind leaving my hair like this, but because I feel like I've, worn my hair out yesterday and I'm going to class tomorrow, I feel like. I should definitely do something with it. My hair is huge right now and I didn't expect it to get this big this fast. I'M not gon na lie to you current state of my hair. It'S huge. I love it. I haven't picked it out today or nothing. The back is definitely flat. So don't don't look at it, I'm gon na be taking some water a edge toothbrush, I'm also going to be taking some of those mousse and some leave-in conditioner and a very skinny hair type. Part of me wants to do a claw clip, but I feel like I do a claw clip all the time so we're gon na try to switch it up today. I'M gon na try to use very minimal water because that means I'm just gon na have to wait for my hair to dry. Literally, whenever I hear water, I get scared because I'm gon na have to wait hours my hair to dry, because I don't diffuse. My hair, like I said before, basically we're gon na. Do I'm gon na take out two tiny pieces in the front I'm gon na. Take starting by my ears and I'm gon na go upwards in a triangle shape. I know this is very hard to see because you're so far away, I'm gon na take the slightest bit and I mean slightest bit of water and I'm gon na put some leave-in conditioner down. As my base save myself some time, I'm gon na claw clip. Actually, I'm gon na hair tie this back. Oh so I don't have to keep trying my hardest to keep it out. The way a lot of people used to ask me. You know when I used to live in slick bags and I still do a really killer. Slickback, how do you keep your hair so smooth I'm telling y'all? You can't just be put in straight gel on your hair, like it's gon na make it look Crunchy. Just because you sticking that hair up doesn't mean you can't put nothing in it, I'm not in the mood to gel my hair down because it is still fairly soon after I wash my hair, and I want to be able to co-wash my hair. If I want to wear it back down, so I'm going to be taking that move. So I was talking about earlier in the video working my way through that top part now usually uh back in my newer curly girl days like when I big chop, and I would do hairstyles like this, I typically would wet my entire head and refresh the entire Head, I have just learned that that's not always practical. Now I have time today because I don't have class, but I didn't feel like doing it that method today, but something I will be doing is adding a little bit of leave-in conditioner, because I feel, like my hair, does look a little bit dry, so you're gon Na get a mini hair refresh today, if there's anything, you should know about high porosity hair baby, you're gon na have to refresh like, and my hair refreshes, don't take long because of how often I have to do it. I have noticed the more I wash and refresh my hair, the easier they get. I try not to like refresh it too much because, like I said, I already run through products very very quickly. Maybe I still got to do it because I feel, like my hair, be looking dry and - and I don't want that to happen - I kind of want my hair to get a little less big. Today, water um and a little bit of leave-in conditioner. I am gon na add is definitely gon na weigh that down. I'M also going to take a little bit of that foam and I'm gon na take some leave-in conditioner and apply it to these little pieces. So they're not as frizzy. Some people prefer the frizzy look. It really just depends on the day. Sometimes I do sometimes I don't foreign I'm trying my best if it doesn't make any sense. Y'All can always ask me questions in the comments and everything like that for my best to answer them, but here's today's hair, I'm about to go throughout my day. I might Vlog a little bit. This will be like a hair Focus video, so I'm over here like okay, so just film, your hair and that's it, but I guess I'll show you the rest of my week a little bit not too in depth, because it's not a week of my life. It'S a week in my hair and my hair is in fact the focus here, we'll see where the day takes us. I know where it's taking me, but you don't yet so this is a surprise to everybody. Well, not me just you if that's okay, you're always down for the ride, him's the reason you're still here, you cannot tell me this look is not cute, please. I feel like a little pretty princess. Are you kidding me now? If I didn't wear my glasses today, I feel like it would be even better. Oh, I don't know if it's the little things in the front or my hair or my little low-key low minimum makeup. I don't know what it is, but she's doing it for me. I feel so cute like are you serious like who? Is she I want to say how to cash cash before we leave y'all haven't seen him this entire video. I believe Cash Cash, hi, honey, hi. You look who texted me he looks so handsome. I can't remember. I think it was on Tick Tock. I did like a day in my life using pictures and I took cashew to the vet and a lot of you like were asking about him, and if you didn't see the post cash was fine, it turns out. He just had a little like stomach virus. Fine. Now, though, he's gaining weight or he's just hair he's getting his Valentine's Day haircut this Sunday so the day that this is going up, you have to edit we have some homework. We have some things to do so. Let'S head to the shops, oh yeah, hi rusties, it's later in the day, I didn't bring my camera I'm at the gas station and my bookie is pumping my gas um. What no! No! No, I needed gas and groceries. That'S why I drove. I was told we're doing a fit check. Y'All know what I have kitchen. No get me ready. No, it's literally like eight in the morning, and that is exactly what I did. I did not speak while refreshing my hair this morning, so I'm just going to talk. You, through the night before I gathered up the bottom half of my half up half down and put it on a ponytail. Hence the reason I took it out. I took some water, some leave-in conditioner, focusing on my ends because they were a little dry and I added some more mousse to get that curl definition back really easy refreshing process. I will say I feel, like I added a little bit more product than I really needed, because my hair took a little bit to dry. Hence the reason I'll be blow drying it soon. But, quite frankly I was not in the mood to talk because I had classes. It was literally like 7 45 in the morning. That'S the reason I said I don't want to talk. I was really focusing on just refreshing and making sure my hair wasn't dry while also maintaining it and making it look neat or like. I just did this this morning, which I think I did successfully because I mean it came out really good. So I just took that same hair tie that was in there today before, because I actually redid the ponytail entirely, or at least just the top to make it look neater, and this is how it looked. I decided to refresh those two little antennas, which was I'm going to call them in the front because you know they needed. They look a little dry and yeah. I decided to also refresh those two pieces on the sides and that's pretty much it for the hairstyle. For today, nothing too crazy. I didn't want to talk but, like I said before, I did blow dry it because I had some extra time and this probably the only time you ever see me blow drying my hair because I had somewhere to be - and I didn't want my hair soaking. While I was out this day welcome to curly hair tips with Alia, I am your host Aaliyah and I'm here to teach you how to take go here in less than 45 seconds when it comes to detangling your hair. I am a firm believer that you need to have something in in order to do it correctly. That means water and something with a lot of slip. My favorite personal products is the Eva NYC hair mask or the Suave conditioner. Now, after penetrating your hair with a lot of water and things with a lot of slip, you need to work in sections as somebody who used to love to do it all at once. Yes, I know it's sick, but I was in fact doing it. It'S sick work. I know four sections, six sections, eight sections, seven sections: if you're a weirdo and you like odd numbers, get whatever tool you desire, it could be a denim brush, a wide tooth comb or even your fingers. If you're in a fingerty tangling go from ends to Roots, so you can really work those knots and tangles out, because if you do it too high at once, you will have a lot of tension on your hair for absolutely no reasons now. That being said, I hope you learned a little slime and thank you for once again stopping in for curly hair tips with Alia, I've been your host Aaliyah and let's get back to our regularly scheduled program hi for my bathroom once again as I whiten my teeth For my weekly whitening slash maintenance for my teeth, it's the last day, so my boyfriend just went to Paris hasn't even been 24 hours and I miss him dearly. He just left repairs like a couple hours ago. I'M also watching um roomy's new video Ken, that's cousin. Hey Bookie anyway, it's time for the last day of a week in my curly hair, so I'm gon na show you what I'm doing with my hair today and, quite frankly, we're going to keep this very simple easy and to the point I wore my hair, like This to sleep last night, when I wear a half a Pap down, I literally just gathered the part. That'S down, pull it up and put it in a ponytail, because my hair is officially too long for buns, like in that kind of pineapple sense like if I were to leave it like this. This is what my pineapple would look like, and I feel like it's a great length for hair period, like I feel like my hair is finally at a nice little length, but in a pineapple um she's, not my favorite. Look. What we're gon na be doing today is simply pulling this through twice: okay and we're gon na wrap this as a super foreign ponytail. Today, my boyfriend saw me with my hair up that he was like that's really cute. I really like that and the more I looked at I was like yeah. She is really cute and she is really good and I do really like that. So what we're gon na be doing is we're gon na be adding a little bit more moisture to this head because it looks a little dry to me. In my humble opinion, although it's a ponytail, I still prefer if my hair looks moisturized, because I'm not trying to look chopped. So I'm going to start with touching up the top of my hair, which was formerly known as the up part of the half up half down with some water. I'M gon na apply some leave-in conditioner and when it comes to Styles like this, I typically don't like. Try because that's the whole point, if I do continue to show you weeks of my curly hair, something you will notice is that I will take one hairstyle and make it last, especially if it's my natural hair. Now, if it's like locks or braids, or something like that, it'll be a little different because, like I could style it different ways, but I just don't feel like experimenting with my hair back to back to back, because I believe in giving my hair break. Let'S just say getting like more use, that of a hairstyle than there originally was going to be usually when it comes to ponytails and having my hair up, I'm not the biggest fan of, but this is the first time I've ever worn my hair in a ponytail. I was sitting here thinking about it and I was like there's no way that I've never worn my hair, just like in a regular ponytail. Since I cut it - and I can't remember the last time I did because it's just been so long and I'm usually just like oh pineapple bun, because my that's like how long my hair was and that's what I thought it looked like. That'S what I thought it looked the best in like a pineapple or bun because of the length wave progressed. The hair is grown, she's, grout and she's she's doing her thing. I promise y'all, I'm not balding on the sides of my head. It'S literally just my hairline And the fact I had so much hair pulled out on the side on accident and y'all. Didn'T even tell me the I'll, be talking about y'all, be trying to do me dirt. Now I see it, I see the Antics like. Even this is still too much. My hair is just thin. So if there's not a lot of hair in an area baby, it's gon na look like there's nothing there, but this is literally just my hairline. I promise you. I have hair right here like I. I literally promised it was just because of where I parted the little side pieces a couple days ago. I promise I have hair right there and if I didn't that would have been fine, but I feel like somebody well then again this isn't tick tock on Tick Tock. Somebody might have tried to clock me and call me like. I had a bald spot, but this is YouTube and people are actually like a lot nicer on here. That'S my little refresh of the sides of my head. Now, I'm not gon na take any edge, control or gel to do my edges. I'M just gon na take leave-in conditioner and this toothbrush and hope that we can make something Shake because I am not the biggest Edge person. I really don't know how to do them. If we're being honest like I feel like this is like acceptable like it's okay, but I feel like edges, they just don't match. Like my face and my opinion or like my head shape, like I don't know, if I'm just doing them in the wrong places, but they really don't add anything everything's brushed up. My hair does look a little bit dry, but I just took some water and we're spraying this entire thing and because I'm not using too much water, the volume shouldn't go down too much, and you already know I'm going with this leave-in conditioner, not even that much And scrunching and applying and making her look less dry, and I personally don't like um, brushing the back of my head when it comes to like buns and ponytails whatever you want to call it just because I think it adds a little bit more messiness and fullness To the look, and quite frankly, I also don't like my head shape and when I brush it out it emphasizes that so I'd rather just you know not so it's like of the main reasons, but, of course we're going with the Eva NYC. Just listen Shine for the hair. Also, sorry, I'm talking to you, while I'm whitening my teeth, that's kind of rude to me, but I thought we were on. Like a you know, good type of basis. You know something like that: the hairstyle for the day, I'm literally just staying home, editing this video, like I'm literally filming the last day today, which is the day before it ends. So I'm filming the like last portions of that like little segments this day, because I filmed it perfect or I lined it up perfectly to wear. I can like film and finish the day before so here's the hairstyle for today. I think it's cute. I didn't really think I would like myself with ponytails, I think, what's also helping us at these two little pieces. I left out from the hairstyle before also here still, so I think it's helping frame my face a lot more in a more flattering way. So yeah here's my little hairstyle for the day. As you can see, my uneven curl patterns are really showing through this side being perfectly the same length and then we turn and she's all over the place very on brand. This is the last day and yeah. Let me know what y'all think of the new hairstyles. I guess these are like new hairstyles for y'all and me so yep thank y'all y'all have a good week.
