How To Get A Soft Sleek Ponytail With Natural Hair *No Products

Hey everyone welcome back to my Channel today. I want to share with you all how I achieve my slick ponytail without using any gel, mousse or edge control. I get asked almost every single video when my hair is in a ponytail. How do you get your ponytail? So slick without using any products, how do you keep your edges from frizzing up? That is what I'm going to share with you all in today's video. So if you want to see how I achieve my soft Sleek, ponytail look keep watching all right guys so, like I said, I'm going to show you all how I do my soft slick ponytails. I think I'm going to show you guys how I do my just ponytail up and then I'll show you all my low bun ponytail that I do as well. The key to this whole entire process is the tools that I use. The first thing that you need you're, going to need a little satin, hair, wrap and you're also going to need a satin or Silk Hair scarf. These are the two most important items that you're going to need to achieve a soft slick. Ponytail. I get someone asking me: how do I get my ponytail to stay so like slick without using products like gels, edge, control, mousse? I don't put any of those products in my hair because it tends to build up and I don't like build up in my hair. Basically, what I do is I train my hair to lay flat like that. I tie my hair up every single night when I say every single night like even if I fall asleep, I will wake up out of my sleep at one two in the morning and tie my hair up. So it is extremely extremely important that you are wearing your scarf. I do not just wear my scarf when I'm wrapping my hair. I wear my scarf even when my hair is pulled back in a ponytail or pulled up in a ponytail first thing. I'M going to show you guys is how I pull my hair back in a little ponytail to tie it up at night. When I go to sleep, I don't know if I mentioned this, but I'm about a week and a half into my hair. It is oily because I have been doing my oil Scout treatments with the myel oil. So it's oily now, technically, my hair is still fine. Fine, I could totally still wear it now if I want to, but I'm working out this week, and so I've just been wearing it pull it back and that's usually what I do once my hair gets too oily. I just pull it up in a ponytail and leave it be until it's time for my next hair appointment, which is not until next week. So what I do every single night before I go to bed. I pull my hair back like mid right here and I take my Silk Hair scrunchie and what I do. I just pull it back. So if I want to wear a middle part, I'll just go ahead and part my hair in the middle, if I'm just going to wear it back in just a full like just slick back ponytail I'll, just pull it all back. So I just pull it back. Loosely it doesn't have to be tight and I wrap. Do you guys see that after I do that, I take my hair wrap and this is something I also do when I work out. Oh, if you guys have seen those videos here, I'll link them below, but I do have videos on how I wrap my hair when I work out. So you just want to take this velcro it in the back, and so this is going to make sure that your edges stay late, which is what you guys are always asking me. How are your edges always so flat? This is how I use hair wraps. These are perfect I'll link some below for you guys I'll also try to find some scarves for you guys. I personally go to my local beauty supply store, but I know Amazon has them I'll link some for you guys, and then I just tie just like this. I mean, I think we all know how to tie a scarf, but this is what I do and then I go to bed. So this is part of the training process on having my hair stay Sleek without using products. So wake up. Take my scarf off. Take my wrap off and edges are smooth, so then I just take the little scrunchie out next you're going to need a paddle brush a good paddle brush doesn't matter what kind just get a nice paddle brush. This is the one that I like to use. It'S by Conair and you just want to brush out your hair. Also when you use when you use a silk scrunchie versus a regular hair tie, you avoid the dense so technically. If I really wanted to, I could just brush my hair out and just wear it like this, because it doesn't have like all the dents in it that you get there's some right here like I could take a flat iron and hit it. But we're not doing that today we're we're focusing on ponytails so anyway, and I am not the best with my middle part. My middle parts are never perfect and I've accepted that, but the tools that you're going to need, besides a paddle brush, you're, going to need a good, Boris brush. I prefer boards here or any other brush, because it's just strong, I have extremely extremely thick hair. It'S straight right now, but and it's like Natural State when it's wet it's super thick. I'Ve been natural for almost 10 years now so yeah. My hair is straightened, but I am natural. I don't have any relaxers or anything in my hair. I'M also going to want to have two different ones that I use this one is like a super super skinny one, and this is just like a traditional One. You'Re Gon na Want some hair ties. Now I use the extra large hair ties and I use two. You know this like really snatches my ponytail for me, so I like to use two. Oh two always ensures that I can get all my hair in the hair tie. Those are the tools that you're going to want to use now some days I will use a dry shampoo, I'm not using a dry shampoo today, because I am wanting my hair to be a little oily, because I'm doing my little Oil Scalp process before my hair Appointment so I'm not going to use a dry shampoo, but some days I do use dry shampoo when I want it to like when I want to freshen it up, but because my hair isn't like dirty, it's just oily. I guess technically that is dirty, but anyway my scalp is still like clean, so I don't need a dry shampoo. Now. What I do like to do is I like to use a hairspray. This one is by rados Mojave ghosts. So what I like to do with the Mojave ghost hair perfume, is I like to spray just a little bit on my paddle brush or just brush through my hair. You can also spray a little on your brush too. If you want to just you know, make it smell a little bit more good, so I'm gon na try to tighten up this part which, like I said, I'm never never good at this. Never okay, but again we're not going for Perfection here, which is we just want a nice soft look yeah! It'S it's not going to be perfect, but we just gon na work with it, so I'm going to pull it back like so. This is when I do my high pony, and this is why this paddle brush is so key, because when you have thick hair, you just want to make sure you're getting all the hair up, and you really did a good arm. Workout doing this too. By the way, so now I'm going to take my blush and just kind of smooth back smooth the front notice, I'm still not using any jail or anything no edge control. None of that because I just prefer a more smooth soft look. I don't like the like helmet head look so once you get your hair in a ponytail, I could go a little bit higher, but I'm just going to leave it here. For now you want to take your hair ties and just pull it really tight and then kind of like like Center, the ponytail where you want it, and then I take my brush and just make sure I brush out the ponytail so that it's smooth and and So yeah, that's it foreign person, so no edge control, I'm here, but I do like to take just a little toothbrush. This was sent to me by luminal. I don't like the toothbrush to brush my teeth, so I use it to just take some of the little hairs and just kind of pull them out just so you know you have a little something something again, I'm just using a dry toothbrush, nothing crazy! Here! Okay y'all know we keep it real simple over here so yeah that is my High pony super cute, very soft and just nice all right. So now we're gon na do my low bun. So I'm going to take my wide tube comb just to comb. My hair all down and I'm just going to leave it in the middle part, because, whatever all right so once the hair is all called down, I'm just going to make sure that I gather it all just take my brush just just smooth all right. So I could just leave it like this and just have a low slick Pony, but I'm gon na do a bun. So I just take my silk scrunchie. I take the hair and just twist it and twist it around twist it around and just put the scrunchie on just like that, and so foreign you're going to have some little flyaways. But those don't bother me. That'S how I do my low bun. This is usually how I wear my hair, the most like just pull it back like this, so easy. Also, when you're doing your hair, like this a lot of the time, I will do my hair tie. It up shower, do my makeup. If I'm wearing makeup that day do stuff around the house do whatever I need to do for the day my scarf stays on, and then I take my scarf off before I leave the house. Scarf is key to having smooth soft edges and just an overall smooth look. That'S it guys all right guys that is gon na. Do it for this video. I know it was really really short, but I wanted to make this because, like I said, I get asked all the time how I get my hair to look so sleek and so smooth without using any products, and this is literally all I do. You basically have to just train your hair. To do this. You have to tie your hair up every night. I will have all the tools scarves hair ties everything linked below for you guys so yeah.
