Sleek Long Braided Ponytail On 4B/C Natural Hair

Hello guys welcome back to my channel it's precious ki Shana in today's tutorial. I'M super excited about because I seen this hairstyle wanted to do it for a while. I was actually on YouTube looki, trying to find a hairstyle with somebody with my hair texture. Doing this and of course there was no video on it, so I said, let me do a video for you guys we're just gon na ignore my edges. Cuz, my daughter took those away she's, lucky she's cute, so here I'm just parting out my hair and parting. It in the direction that I wanted to go. I want a side swoop, so I just parted it out. I'M blow-drying it in that direction. Now, Flatiron in that same direction as well. I actually could've did my hair without Flatiron in it, but because I want it to be super sleek and I just love the super sleek look. I went on ahead and gave myself a soft pressed here, I'm just trying to swoop out and map out my hair to see how it would flow and yeah because of the texture of the braiding here that I have the ends of my hair wouldn't and plane. Well, you we're one time: it didn't need a bunch, you don't need it super straight because you're not wearing it like this, so you just need it soft enough and manageable, and this is the finished look as you can see from the previous video. It'S not so stuck together and shiny with all that product that I had in there, I'm only using black, castor oil, and I got to be Sprint. I just used two drops and I'm just applying it all throughout my hair. You don't want to put too much because then it's gon na prevent that got to be spray from doing what it needs to do and then I'm making sure I apply some to my edges. Cuz we're trying to get those to go back in and I am applying it to my part because we don't need a dry part out here, sis now from experience. I am parting out my edges and swooping those out first and I'm doing it by itself, because when I did it before it actually pulled tension on my hair and I had to take out my hair and redo it again. So I'm parting out my edges and doing that first, and this is to prevent tension, especially because my edges are very sensitive at this given moment it's up to you and I'm just blow drying it and making sure that's all set and in place now the edge Control did prevent my hair from getting as hard as everything else, but at the same time my edges are doing perfectly fine, and this is four days later and they're still sleeping in place. But it's just not as wrong party as everything else. So if that will be a problem for you, depending on how much you sweat or your situation, that's something that you want to take into consideration. Now I parted the bay area off by itself, and then I work with the back the back. I did it in three sections: the first section I used the remaining ends of my hair from my edges, and I went ahead and spray that, along with the first set of hair now, you just want to make sure you spray all over your hair and comb From the roots on down to make sure everything gets the product, and this will prevent you from having pieces puffing up or sweating out underneath of the top of your ponytail. If that makes sense, I don't know so I'm just taking my time and I'm doing that, and then I just parted that into one more section to make sure I've spray and get through my hair cuz. This hairstyle can last you up to two weeks guaranteed a week, but depending on how you go about your everyday life depends, you might be able to put the two weeks if you go to the gym all the time, maybe not so much, but you want to Get your time sort of out of this hairstyle because it is time consuming and it takes you a while to get it done, especially if you're doing it by yourself, because it's kind of hard to see and you're kind of trying to map it out so make Sure you just spray it all over and comb through that hair and get it all in there as time go by. You would feel like getting sticky like the product building up on your hands. I just had a makeup wipe on hand, and I was just wiping my hands. Sometimes the makeup white wouldn't work, so I would have to actually get up and go wash my hand with water to remove it, because you don't want your sticky hand touch my hair cuz. Then it would mess up your sleek look and then I'm just blow-drying that out - and this is how I have a mirror in front of me - and then I'm using the small mirror to try to look em, see and make sure that it's not any white residue On my hair, this time I watched it, I made sure so that's why I only stuck to using two products, this time edge, control that I use for my edges, but just all in the spray. So I made sure I included this part cuz. I had a lot of people attack me for not included in the whole hairstyle. I'M sorry guys. I just hate super long videos, so I got it down to 15 minutes, for you guys, and I made sure I included all steps, so you guys can see how it goes now with the front area. As you can see, I am partying thinner pieces, because this is the part where you sweat the most and it's going to be moving towards your face because you got ta wash your face and on the shower and all these things you want to make sure this Is as hard and sleep down as possible, so I am just parting it out in a spring, make sure you get behind your ear. Don'T forget it's a spray back there and blow-dry it in the higher up you go. You would start to see that you got to start mapping out and sweeping the hair in the direction that you want it to flow and same thing, just spraying and dry and spraying and drying. You want to make sure you comb it out and make sure there's. No strands cuz, I have any flyaways flying around or any pieces. You forgot. It will be dried exactly that way. So here I start to go diagonal because I've reached where I want my bangs to start flowing now. I personally didn't want it too much in my face because I live in Texas and it started to cool down, but it had this moments with this extra hot. So I just made sure I didn't put it too far into my face. So this is a pretty good place for me, so this will be my base, so I took the second piece and I mapped it implied it right. On top of that, so I cut out that part because it was, I literally laid it right. On top of that same piece and now we're moving along - and I probably broke this down, it's about three more pieces - and you just want to map it all the way out and make sure you have all your strands flowing where you want it to go before You even spray it because it will make it so much easier once you spray it to just plumb it out and dry it those little pieces that a friend was trying to get away from me. So I had to keep spraying and ooping it and making sure I got it where I need it to be, and I didn't forget about my little friends in the back and honestly, I didn't put all those scrunchies in my hair as if I did before. I was just mapping my hair, where I wanted it to go and just squeezing it into place. So when I did the final piece, that's when I put it all into a ponytail, because the extra scrunchies added tension to my hair and made it hurt and made me want to take it out. So keep that in mind once again, it's all optional step to do this, which you prefer is your preference, I'm just telling you guys tips on how I do my hair and what worked for me and there I'm just feeling throughout my hair to make sure there's. No soft pieces because any soft pieces there, then that means it will puff up. So I just felt through in any places that still felt soft I just went and sprayed it and blow-dried it to set that all into the place. Now you see all that spray running down my face, it eventually caught up to me and it dried white, but that's the least. The problems all you have to do is make sure you have some alcohol wipes or alcohol pads or even rubbing alcohol on hand, because I use the wipe and was wiping it away, but, as you would see throughout the video that did not, that did not help It needed alcohol so keep that in mind, but I wasn't worried about that. My daughter was taking a nap and I was more focused on making sure I get my hair done before she wakes back up. So I find of all the doing my hair and then I went and I fixed that because, as you can see, this braid just kept running down my face, but it's it's alright. Once there's no white residue in the hair itself, I was good and I was satisfied and you just want to blow dry and, as you can see it waves up and it starts moving away from where you want it to go. So all you got to do is sprayed a little more spray and then comb it in the direction that you want it to go and it will easily just maneuver where you need to be, and I'm just checking and making sure, and it feels like it's all Good and ready to go that little piece right there in my ear, because it was so much hair. It was not all the way dry, but I just left it and I'm like it will just dry along the way, because I didn't want to spend so much time driving that one piece and I'm just taking the scrunchie and I am putting it in a ponytail. Finally, no worries: it's not gon na have no bulky pieces or anything like that, because you're already dried your hair and moved it where it needed to be so the loose off back there. So I just went at it some more spray, combed it through and blow dried it, and here is the hair that I decided to use super long. I use that and I also had another piece of hair, not as long the regular pack hair and I use that because you need a piece to wrap around at the end. And I use the extra from that to feed in this braid. To make it a little bit thicker, because my hair is naturally thick, so I like a nice thick, luscious braid and because I wanted it thick, I also did not get my hair water because I noticed when a lot of girls did their hair in water. The braids turned out really thin and not so flattering in my opinion, so here I'm struggling trying to braid my hair, because one eye cannot see I'm feeling my way through I'm trying to tuck my hair under as much as I could so right there, where I Was reaching the ends of my hair? I went and I added some braiding hair there to try to maneuver my hair. It was a whole struggle if you guys want to see a video of that I'll do that separately. But I am new to the feed and braids thing and I'm still trying. So I didn't even show you guys all of that, but there's lots of videos on YouTube that super don't feed in braids and I just added a rubber band in a mine because I'm not dipping in their water and here's the piece. Now, when I went to go look at that, I seen that the braid was too low like it dragged down, so I had to go off-camera r-e braid it, and then I came back and showed you guys how to wrap this part around because I'm not playing. We need this hissed out to be cute girl and you just take it and you don't have to spray it every time you wrap it just wrap it as tight as you possibly can, and look at all that white residue builds it up. In the back of my neck from all the spray running down and then my face, but you know I got some people - that's gon na point it out, but it's alright because they won't on it. They don't watch the whole video when they didn't listen and pay attention in class. But finally finish and I went with some silver hair clips, I went the cheap route. Okay, I see a lot of people getting all these fancy Dancy diamonds, and all these things to add in me, mine, is a protective hairstyle on a budget girl. This is under $ 10 and it's only so much because the braiding hair was under $ 10. We can work with that and I had to force and fight and find a little piece for me to stick those pins in. I can't get nothing else in there. As you can see, I tried to do the crisscross thing myself and feel my way through. That was a complete fail, so I had to wait. My sister came home from school and then I had her finesse my Clips. The way I wanted it to go - and this is the final hairstyle hope you guys enjoyed this video. Thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see. Y'All next time, boy.
