How To: Jumbo Braided Ponytail Tutorial On Natural Hair!

What'S up you guys, it's j back here with another video and for today's is going to be a tutorial, a tutorial on a sleek, high, braided ponytail and some edges. You guys, i'm super excited because i'll be doing this on my natural hair. I currently just got out the shower pretty much washed and blow dry, my hair, because my hair was super wet and i didn't want to do this ponytail with my hair wet. So that's the only reason why i blow dried it. But let's get into this tutorial - and i hope you guys enjoy so first things. First, i start off by sectioning my hair. This method has been working for me a whole lot lately, because i'm able to stick my hair so much more, especially having thick natural hair. It'S pretty hard to slick my hair, sometimes so what i did in this video is pretty much did two sections front and back pretty much started working on the front section first and then the back section, as you guys are gon na, be able to tell i'm Gon na end up facing my part, because i'm such a perfectionist when it comes to things like that, but you don't really have to the part, doesn't have to be straight because you're, eventually going to put it on the ponytail, is eventually all going to come together. So don't worry if it's not straight just work on just getting it half and half that's all! Once i pretty much have half and half i start by putting the front and a ponytail, but not in a tight ponytail just in a loose one. So i can be able to work with the surroundings and pretty much slick the surroundings, because you want to keep the ends kind of puffy, then, after that i start off by pulling out some edges with my comb. It depends. I don't really like pulling out too much, but i don't pull it out too little either. I like to pull out the perfect amount. So that's what i was doing and here i'm showing you guys the edge control that i use. It'S from keisha k, quiche collection on instagram, if you guys are interested in purchasing. Let her know that i just hit you, but this edge control works miracle you guys, but here i'm just putting the edge control and pretty much slicking my hair and, as i'm slicking, my hair, i'm also pushing my edges back just to make sure that they stay Left out, so i can eventually do them afterwards towards the end of the video. But here i'm just making sure my hair is slick and, as you guys can tell, it is sticking my hair to the gauze okay, honey. It is sticking my hair and it works. So well, especially on my natural hair, i have rip. Naturally you guys - and i can tell you guys this works wonders and also i'll go in with some got to be not too much simply because got to be makes my hair white a lot of the time. So i just use a little bit just to get some extra reinsurance on. You know getting it thick and just nice and slick on my hair, but that's pretty much it and then i just put the front and a ponytail and really tight ponytail. Once that's in the ponytail, i start off with working with the back section and pretty much just combing it out and brushing it out. Make sure that i have like no bumps or anything towards the back and then eventually i start putting some edge control on the back. I'M not even able to see what i'm doing, but i just hope that it's getting through the back, okay but yeah, i'm pretty much, brushing it and, of course, applying some more edge control on the sides. Make sure you guys don't forget about those sides. Don'T just apply it to the back, but also to the sides and just pretty much keep brushing brushing until i feel like it's slick enough and, as you guys can tell, it is slicking my hair really really well. Of course, i apply some more on the other side and then eventually keep brushing this edge control. You guys helped me out so much with like slick natural hair, tutorials and just like hairstyles in general. It helps out a lot. So that's what i've been using on. My natural hair and it slicks really really well and then eventually, as i feel like. Okay, it's pretty much brushed pretty well and pretty slick. I start off by putting the back section onto the front ponytail as you guys can tell and eventually grab a scrunchie and just put it into my little ponytail, i'm a little boy-headed, but it's okay, i'm just kidding once everything is in a pretty sleek ponytail. This is the braiding hair that i'm going to be using it's extension pre-stretch, i believe two times and it's 48 inch. It was pretty long because i wanted my ponytail to be long, but eventually i just pretty much grabbed the hair in the raven that it already comes in, and i pretty much put it onto my ponytail honestly, you guys putting this in is really really super easy. Just watch what i'm doing, i just make sure that the rubber band is as tight as possible. I believe that i did double it just because you know just in case one ends up breaking the other one is there to secure it because it won't break and that's the only one that have the points it will just come off. So i make sure that i, you know, put two rubber bands to reinsure it and then on my natural hair i was adding some more keisha k edge control. Just so when i eventually braid my hair, it won't be puffing out just so. It can be a little bit slicker and softer and easier for me to braid, because if i left my hair like that, it would have just been poking out the braid and it would have been cute but hold on. Let'S get into the slick ponytail, though, like the back is slick, okay, honey, but here i'm just pulling out some hair, so i can eventually wrap it around the braid, so the scrunchies won't be showing. So that's what i'm doing make sure that it's thick enough and there was another piece hanging. So i just kind of pulled that out and then i'm going to actually grab a clip and put it on the side and then start off by braiding. The other side of my hair just always make sure that you, you know, leave some hair out just so. You can eventually cover up the braid, but those three sections that i did with my natural hair: i'm going to section the braiding hair off to those three sections that i do with my natural hair. If that makes sense, so those three sections, i'm going to turn them into three sections again on the braiding hair and then eventually make it come together with my natural hair, so always make sure that the braiding hair is on top of your natural hair. Because you don't want your natural hair to be shown so much. So that's what i'm doing here and i just pretty much start braiding um, i'm not be sure how to explain how to braid. You guys. I don't even know how i learned how to braid. I learned how to braid at a young age and um. I don't even know how to explain that, but pretty much just start braiding and eventually i took it to the side. Just so. I was able to braid much easier because going through the back was just not working for me, but um yeah. So pretty much, that's how the braid is going. I was also going for like a jumbo messy braid, not too much of a tight braid, because you guys see i'm not braiding too too tight, so not and not too too loose either, because i wanted a jumbo messy braid. So that's what i was doing and eventually, as i was coming to an end, what halfway there i was eventually going to add some hair. You guys are going to tell in a few so now that that piece is almost done. I'M going to eventually add some hair just to make it longer and thicker, because you don't want the braid to be too thin. So here i'm just adding on some hair, pretty much continuing to braid and another tip. You guys add as much hair as you need to um. I honestly used two to three packs for this. I didn't have to do that, but i didn't feel like separating the hair, so i pretty much added it the way it came. I was pretty lazy, ella. Well, don't mind me, but just add as much hair as you need you guys. I recommend two or three packs you shouldn't use more for this, a braided ponytail, but i pretty much use two or three packs on my hair. Simply because i didn't break off the hair, like i didn't say we didn't have when i should have done. I just simply added it because my braid was big enough and it decides pretty much to match the braid so just add as much hair as you need to, because i believe i've like kind of added hair, like i believe two or three times, because i wanted My braids to be thick and big, like i told you guys so as you guys see it's turning out pretty good, it's a jumbo braid and eventually i'm going to pull it apart. So it can eventually be messy, but just keep watching. But here i added another piece because i wanted it to be long and thicker at the bottom, because i don't, like the whole thin braid kind of thing. And if you do happen to mess up, don't be afraid to just take out the braid and just kind of you know unbreak a little bit and start over because that's what i was doing, because i added the braid at the wrong place always make sure. You add the hair that you're adding to the back side and not the front, because that's the mistake that i made on this piece right here. So, as i'm finishing up my braid now it's time for me to grab the piece of hair that i left out earlier and pretty much wrap it around my braid and i also used some got to be just to make sure that it was secured. So this repair got to be onto the braiding hair that you're wrapping around and just wrap it around and just keep wrapping until you have no more hair left and the little piece that's left you want to kind of, like you know, wrap it around towards the Bottom, just so that can stay there, as you guys can tell adding some more got to be making sure that it's staying just so it can stick once i'm done. Wrapping the hair around i'm pretty much going to go into my braid and pretty much like trying to pull it apart because, like i told you guys, i wanted a messy look with my braid, not too messy, but i wanted this to be a puffy big braid. So that's what i was doing and once i'm done with that now it's time for me to work on my favorite part, the edges, so i'm using, of course, keisha k edge control. Again this is the grape one. This one smells amazing and i love it and i'm pretty much putting it onto my edges and then eventually getting ready to you know swoop them bad boys. Once i was pretty much done sticking my edges, i'm going to eventually go over the braid once again, just kind of puff it out a little bit, making sure that i'm getting a jumbo messy. Look that i was looking for to make sure that everything is okay and some surroundings around the braid were kind of like puffing out too much. I was just trying to take them in, like i was doing here and yeah and eventually i wanted to add a scrunchie. Just add, you know some spice onto my braid um i was debating which crunchy to go with, and i think i went with the gray one because i thought it was matching my shirts, i'm like okay, perfect super cute, so i pretty much um enter this discussion Through the bottom of course, because where else would you answer it at, and i pretty much put this crunchy and i was definitely feeling it y'all and it turned out really really cute, like look how slick my hair looks like y'all know, i have thick natural hair If you guys tune in to my last, that's where you guys aren't able to tell but hey this is pretty cute.
