Hey guys, what's up it's queen here, welcome back to my channel again. I hope you guys are doing well, i'm back with another hair video. I just want to quickly um try something different today that i haven't done in a while. My hair is obviously looking a little bit messy, but we're going to get right into that. I'M going to try to do a deep side, part low ponytail. I haven't attempted this style in a while. I want to see if there is a better method to this and i'm going to try to achieve that. Look that people usually do with their wigs. So it's a very deep part pulling in this way very sleek with some nice sharp souped edges. I don't know if it's gon na work with my hair, but we will try it and i hope it looks good. So, let's get right into this. Okay, let's get into this. So as you guys can see, my hair is in its natural state. It is not stretched at all. You can do this from a stretch state, but i want to show you that this is very much possible from very tight coiled dry hair, so you don't have to shut your hair out to do this very nicely. Okay. So all i'm doing is parting. My hair, where i want the deepness of my side part, i usually like to line it with the arch of my brow, so i usually don't go further than that. If i go further than that um i find that that one side of my head might be too heavy with hair and it won't look so flat and smooth. So it's all up to you, you can choose how deep you want your part. So now you can see i'm sectioning the hair into kind of like a little square, so i'm taking a chunk out of the front as you can see, and i'm removing that from the rest of my hair. So this is going to be the part that we're working with to really smooth down. This is going to be our swoopy swoop section if that makes sense, so i'm just cleaning it up. So then all the lines are nice and good and yeah. It takes a few tries clearly i'm not very good at parting and then you're just going to tie that away and separate it from the rest. And then we will then work on the back section of our hair and making sure that's nice and smooth. Now, as i mentioned, my hair was damp, it's kind of drying out, so you want to wet your hair, the best thing that you can do when you're creating any sort of slick, sick slick style or sleek style. Whatever you want to call, it is to make sure your hair is moisturized. The hair that is dry and brittle will not lay smooth it'll get frizzy. It'Ll look crunchy it'll, look dry, it will not look smooth and sleek and juicy okay. So you have to wet your hair. Add some leave-in conditioner, as you saw, or if you missed it, i added some leave-in conditioner. You want to treat your hair as if you are about to style it properly. So add lots of moisture. Add some creams butters whatever it is, that keeps your hair moisturized before you start this process, you cannot work on dry hair. So now that my hair is wet and moisturized, you can see even as i'm brushing it down without gel, it's laying down so nicely because it's hydrated, you can only work on hydrated hair, so make sure you take the time to do this and to you know, Get your hair into a good space before you start to add gel okay, so yeah now we're adding gel, so i'm using the wet line. Extreme gel! This is my favorite. You can use eco styler if you'd like that's another, strong gel, but i find that this gel does not flake. So i can keep the style a little bit longer than i could if i were to use eco styler. So i'm being very generous with this gel and i'm really slicking it down making sure it's flat, but because my hair is kind of wet and very moisturized, like i said it's staying down already on its own, so i don't have to do too much work and I don't have to add too much product to this section of the hair. So take your time smooth it down brush it moisturize hydrate, add a bit of gel and your hair should be able to. You know, squeeze into a good ponytail pretty easily. So after moisturizing with water and leave-in and sealing it with gel and brushing it down, you guys can see it looks pretty smooth. So i'm just going to tie it twice around, as you saw so i'm not making it too tight because we're we are going to go back and take that out, fix that. So now we're going to work on the front section, which is the most important part. So this part takes a little bit of time. It'S a little tedious and it does use a lot of gel. And if you don't like gel, i'm sorry, but this tutorial needs it. Unless you do it on maybe like a more stretched state of hair. But i'm very generous with gel and i get a lot of questions about if gel ruins your hair, i personally have not had bad experiences with gel as long as it's alcohol free and as long as you don't abuse it. I don't abuse gel every single day. Every week this is a style that i do once in a while. So i personally don't think this is going to have any harm on anybody, but use your own discretion. You know your hair, but i don't think this is an issue so, as you guys can see, i'm sectioning through in parts and raking gel through each piece, almost as if i was doing a wash and go that's how heavy on the gel it is. You want to be able to have your hair drop into place because it's completely coated and each section has gel you - can see. There'S definition, it is like it's like we're doing a wash and go so as you can see, because of this. It'S already starting to lay nice and flat. Now i can remove the ponytail in the back and i can start to attach pieces that i have from the front into my ponytail and then i'll be left with a small little bang like this. That will be the deep soup of all of this, so you want to just make sure that you shape this in a way that you can just use that front piece and add and swoop it in in the front. If that makes sense, i'm sure you guys can see what i'm doing so i don't have to explain too much, but i just want to make sure it's clear but yeah. So that's a little piece. That'S going to be adding the swoop to the swoop. Alright. So in this section you really want to make sure it is nice and wet and gel down and brush it to the point where you can kind of feel the bristles on your scalp. That'S how flat your hair should be so take your time and make sure you detangle you smooth it down, and you add enough product. So then, when you're brushing it it's nice and flat, because we don't want a lump on the side of our head when we do our little swoop, you don't want to make it look like that's how your head is too heavy. It has to look kind of uniform right so now that that is done, we're going to add our final piece, so this is the most important part. I guess you could say it's just making sure that your last piece is again very smooth flat and stretched out as much as possible, so i'm just adding a bit more gel brushing it. I find that, if i add gel and brush at the same time, it helps um stretch it out. So then it doesn't crinkle up again when my hair dries. So i stretch it out as much as i can. Pin it in place tie it whatever you need to do and then you're good to go. So it's nice and smooth it might wave up a little bit, but i don't think it will too much all right and this right here, i'm just brushing it making sure it's flat because look how you brush it will also help in the reduction of the waves. So i like to stretch it out as much as i can so then it doesn't kind of crinkle back up, so i'm using pins to really pull it and keep that stretch. So then, it can't really wave back up or bounce back, because it's being pulled pretty tight and pretty smooth, so you'll see that the front section might wave up a bit like that. One piece i'm brushing because it's not long enough to attach to the pins. Now, it's time to add the swoops on the side, and this is where the edge control comes in, i'm just adding a bit of gel to moisten it up a little bit because again, dry hair doesn't lay down. So i like to start with a wet gel before i use a edge control, so i'm using my little comb and creating some deep swoops and then i'm gon na go in with my edge control. This edge control is by bell roche the best edge control in the world guys. I don't need to say this again, so i'm just going to add a little bit and then brush it into place and then we're going to let that set and then we're good to go. That'S basically it alright! So so far so good, it is looking so smooth. The key to all of this is to make sure that, even though there's much more hair on this side that you can't really tell so that's why i had to put so much water so much gel to really smooth it down and pull as much forward. As i could, because you don't want to have this side of your head looking too heavy, because that's not cute so with that done um, my hair is in a nice puff back here. So now i'm going to take a scarf. I love to use wrapping papers for things like this, but i don't have any right now so and i'm sure most people more people have scarves at home. They they do wrapping paper. So that's what we're gon na do. I'M gon na use a scarf place it over and tie at the bottom, and i'm gon na leave this on. Until i feel like it's dried a little bit, it won't be completely dry, but i need it to dry a little bit. I need it to set so then it'll look really good, but um yeah. I'M gon na leave this on maybe for about 15 minutes. This is not a do it and go type of style, because then it will start to unravel throughout the day. So i'm going to let this sit for about 15 minutes or until i feel like it's set a little bit a little bit dry and then that's basically it so i will be back in a little bit alright, so it has been about 15-20 minutes. I believe honestly was not keeping track, but i'm ready to take this off. Yes, this looks on point. As you can see, i am having some waving in the front here, but that is no problem to me. Edges are definitely going to stay. This edge control is the bomb and yeah everything looks good. It'S very simple: i guess the most important part about this process is making sure that your hair is damp moisturized and then you use a good gel and then you take your time and then you have a brush to lay it all down. So that's basically the whole process. I hope you guys enjoyed this. I hope it was easy to follow and, yes, you can get your hair, nice and flat, even if you have really thick type 4 hair like mine, um, it's possible. So i hope you guys enjoyed this quick little tutorial. I'M going to enjoy this style for the next couple of days and i will see beautiful people in my next video bye.
Comments
Marcia Kelly: We were taught that water was our hairs worst enemy, when really it’s our best friend. The more hydrated your hair is the more it will do what you want it to lol
Shan: I cannot WAIT to try out different styles when I'm done with my transition eeeek UPDATE: I big chopped in august at 10months post! I’ve got braids I’m rn loving it!
small cal: pro tip: leave ur gel container lid open for a few hrs so that it gets tacky, never fails when i do this style
Emily Op: I'm so glad you showed this on natural unstraightened state of hair, sometimes the heating on our natural hair is just too much. Awesome I've subscribed
Anna .Jisalo: I tried this style once and I failed but I’ll use your method
MAKE WAY FOREVER: I’m definitely gonna try this on my 4c hair. Never thought to do my pony like this and it’s sooooo cute
aliyyah afaq: THANK YOU FOR THE DAMP HAIR TIP i was always wondering why only the top of my hair would slick but it was because it was all dry underneath
ToyaDeez: Great video, can't wait to start documenting my hair journey and be able to pack it into a bun
Jayda Mc: Don’t think it will work for me. My hair isn’t long enough, eco gel isn’t strong enough and I’m not patient enough and it’ll shrink as soon as it gets wet or moisturized
Nita Vee: Definitely going to try this look on Easter Sunday! I love a sleek ponytail with a deep side part. But I haven’t used this method. Now I’m excited to try. Thank you!

Wendy Bernard: Thank you so much Queen, this is about to be my birthday hair for today and I’m going to film it too! So I hope you’ll eventually check it out and give me some pointers!
Renette Gordley: You really showed me a way to do my ponytails. I can make them sometimes sometimes I can't. when they come out good it's usually by chance. I'll make the ponytail then brush the front together without parting just brushing together etc lol. Now I know the actual technic. My daughter slays the heck out of the style but I never bothered her on showing me cause she was doing it most of the time. The days she wasn't available was when I might get it right or not lol. I appreciate you for passing it on.

Fly&Thrive: Honestly before watching this what I did was section my hair into 4 I oiled it down for days it was dripping. I used Aunt Jackie soft all over oil oil! Then I put some creme of nature ARGAN OIL moose like twice and added extra hair wild growth oil! Then I used some24 hour edge tamer just smoothed that over night before! I detangkes all my section hair first! I also think my hair is a combo lie my rooths will wave up etc and the rest is super curly but thick and thin ish at the same time!! I used a little water it’s just I used mostly all oils oils first bc I have dry hair like hers but I prefer oils wer look them dry looks etc!! then use a little water!! Invest in some good oils if you have dry hair!!! Also I stand by thinking I have 4 Z hair but once I add tons of products them oils it goes to 4b/4C a whole black GURL MAJIC TRANSFER
