You use my name, why don't beat again have a computer here and today I'm bringing you guys what I believe to be the first natural hairstyle of 2020. I bring you guys a natural ponytail hairstyle that matches my type for natural hair very nicely. Eating went crazy about this hairstyle on my Instagram when I posted these pictures on my profile the other day, and I was like I got ta - do it for them and crazy thing is. I did not record the video because I did not know how the hairstyles gon na turn out. You know how you want to do your hair, but you don't really have a vision on how it's gon na turn out. It was like that for me, I just was kind of just putting things together and it turned out poppin. I had hella comments about it, so I was like. I can't leave them hanging. I am doing the ponytail a little bit different than what I've ever seen before literally. This was just off the dome and it worked for me and my thick type for not your hair, so I will get into that. But before I happen to this video, if you're new to beauty - and you never heard of us sis - we don't know you better, but we are so glad that you found us this Beauty gang is hella stupid little rehear. If you don't believe me, come check the comment section below you will see multiple Beauty, a member special for the fact that we're headless to be licked and then that going to that subscribe button and the bunch. So you notified each time post a new video without further ado. Let'S happen to this ledge sis, so I've got a really cool thing about this. Hairstyle is that I didn't use any gel whatsoever to make my hair slicked down. Also, I did not blow dry. My hair, my hair, is in a stretched state, but it's basically like what I did in my natural hair winter routine that I posted on my channel. That'S basically how I stretched is left it into Duque brace for a couple of days and then took it down and it's kind of any stretch date. I do feel like with this hairstyle. You probably do meet your hair and a stretch state, but it doesn't require heat. I didn't use heat whatsoever to get my hair like this. Another thing that I changed up this time around too, is that usually with like ponytails and stuff, people have to make a very small, a bitty, teeny weeny, tiny, tiny bunny. My hair is too big for that type stuff. It just never works. The ponytail ends up. Looking too bulkier just doesn't look that good nohow doesn't make sense to me, but I somehow made it make sense in my head to do things differently, and I feel I can worked out pretty nicely first. Things first is to go ahead and kind of rake. The perimeter of my hair with a wide tooth comb just to make sure that my hair looks back without a lot of humps and pumps and all that other onions. As you can see, I'm not combing my hair. All the way through. I will rip out my hair if I do that, I just want to make sure the perimeter so the front part of my hair and the back part. I have a smooth transition into my ponytail: got ta, get that kitchen the kitchen or make or break this hair spouses. Now it's time to apply the cream of nature twist and curling. Putting all around the perimeter of my hair, the cream of nature, helps with manipulating the style easier, and it also kind of gives your hair a little bit of moisture. It'S not the most moisturizing product, but it has a little bit of moisture to it, which my hair definitely needs, because it's already in a very dry stress state. Now that there's a product in my hair that has a little bit of moisture to it. My hair will have a little bit more slit-like it'll, be a little bit easier to detangle, so I'm gon na go in with this smaller tooth comb and rewrite the perimeter of my hair, like I did with the wide tooth. Comb basically gets out any little kinks that the wide tooth comb might have missed. Of course, you got to use a soft bristle brush to go ahead and make the hairstyle smooth and sleek that's what the cream of nature does. It makes it super smooth and because of that, that's why I don't really need a gel like that, but I real reinforce it so hold that thought. You know if you guys can see this little hump right here is the reason raking is so important that can make or break a ponytail can go ahead and write. The curls trying to pop got my waves on fleek. Alright, let me I lose myself. This is when the cloth ponytail holders come into play. Y'All I always used to because my hair is so thick they're, not gon na break on me anyway, but I don't know. I just feel like two makes my ponytail more secure, another big component, those who this hairstyle working is not to put your ponytail too high. I have done that in the past when I want to put on a phony pony or create a longer ponytail on my hair, I put it too high and then, when I try to add the fake hair, it just looks like ridiculous. It'S just not in a good placement, so I do suggest placing the like base of your ponytail like an inch or two lower than what you would typically do with your real hair. That makes sense bring my hair together rush it into that. Ponytail think this is a good placement for it. It'S literally like right in the upper middle part of my crown area. Oh, oh, my gosh, now something I forgot to do last time when I told myself whenever I do like tight high up hairstyles or just ponytails in general, I want to make sure I always clip to make a black, castor oil. On my edges, I highly suggest that if you have thin edges, if you want to make sure your edges don't very godless, easily land just stuff like that, I always feel like Jamaican black castor oil is kind of, like my strength, reinforcement when it comes to manipulating My edges and stuff a lot, so I am gon na go ahead and apply that around the perimeter of my hair as well. Just to make sure my edges stay strong. You know I do use a healthy amount for this in the front, and I'm gon na put it in the back. Kitchen area needs love. Now I'm gon na go in with the cream of nature, perfect edges, extra hold edge control, and I'm not gon na put it on my edges, because this junk doesn't work on my edges or howth and whatsoever. However, if it does do a good job of molding, this hairstyle - because literally this is all I use along with the cream of nature twist and curly pudding, to do the ponytail that I posted on Instagram. This is like a really big reason, a component as to why gel isn't really necessary for this hairstyle. It holds your hair, but it doesn't make it hard or anything like that, and I haven't washed my hair since I did that ponytail so like, as you saw when I started this video, my hair was still easy to manipulate. It wasn't like stuck in one hairstyle, like gel, typically makes your hair do so. This is really good for if you want to do this hairstyle, but you don't want to be stuck in this hairstyle now, I'm gon na take a nice little healthy scoop. Out of this go ahead and rub it between my hands, it is thick okay, ladies and gentlemen, then I'm gon na move it along. It is not even funny how sleek this harris's - yes, yes, yes, yes, now that my hair is sleek into this ponytail. It'S time to let the style, mold and sit so I'm gon na go ahead and throw on the scarf, and while it's sitting, I'm gon na go ahead and start one ponytail detail run this hair out the way, so it doesn't get stuck in there. Okay, look like I said earlier in the video. It will be very hard to get my hair into a teeny-tiny gon na, be like creating a bun for a ponytail to be attached to or made on either have to have short hair for or your hair can't be that dense in order for the bun to Be as small as possible, so it can my camouflage and not look ridiculous behind the ponytail. My hair personally doesn't fit in either of those categories, so I figured out kind of a different way to do this. I'M not sure if you guys are gon na like it or not, but it's footwork for me and I'm like how my hair turned out. If you can figure out a better way to do it, be my guest and even comment below. If you have any other suggestions, but this is what I do - I go ahead and actually make a bubble ponytail with my hair, for example, this is the base of my ponytail right here. I'M gon na go like an inch or so above the base. Gon na wrap a new pony tail holder around there, it's creating a quote-unquote bubbly, so that's one! Then I'm gon na go another inch or two wrap the ponytail holder around there that'll be two creating another, but I'm gon na keep doing that till I get to the ends of my hair, so I know it looks funny, but this is how your hair is. Probably gon na end up looking it's gon na have some hang time to it. It'S okay, I'm actually gon na add a couple of more ponytail holders in these thicker bubble sections just to try to make the bubble ponytail as small as possible because we are about to add hair to it. So we want it to be able to camouflage as good as possible. This one is a little fatter than I would like, but having a ponytail holder, there makes it skinnier. So now comes the fun more interesting part to add the hair onto this doggone. Hang time. Ponytail gon na go ahead. Take the Marley hair out the Pat, if you're wondering why I want from Marley hair by the way is because it's texture, mimics, not your hair. The best, especially for type 4 Naturals, have like a straightish type ponytail and your hair isn't straight it'll, look kind of ratchet. I hate ponytails that don't match your actual hair pattern. It just doesn't look cute to me, so I always try to make sure that I get hair that mimics my actual hair powder than the best. So what I'm going to do is take 1/3 out of that first peg. I feel like each pack, you can get like three good sections from it when I actually did this hairstyle on myself, no cameras or whatever I started at the end of the ponytail would attach in the hair, but it ended up looking a little bit choppy like The end look extremely long's. I didn't like the way that looks so I had to kind of manipulate it a lot, so I'm actually gon na start from the very top and I'm going to tie it like a shoestring. Your I kid you not that's how I created the ponytail. I know it sounds a little bit funny, but actually, I feel like that's the reason. It'S easy to take this hairstyle down at night as well, sometimes constantly having to wrap tracks and stuff around your ponytails and stuff takes a long time to take down, and it's just very tiresome and annoying, whereas this is super easy to put up and super easy To take down literally I'm wrapping it like a shoe string, starting at the base. I have both ends, I'm going to literally tie it there we go, I'm tying it around the base boom, also by the way, make sure you leave three strands on the Marley hair to the side, because that's how you're gon na wrap the base of this ponytail To kind of make it look as neat as possible: gon na go ahead and continue layering the ponytail with this Marley hair. Something to keep in mind is that Marley hair is not that heavy. So if you had longer hair like me, obviously you could still see this part is thick and yeah, something that would help kind of the ponytail to start having more of a downward type of pool to. It is to make sure that you're pulling the hair down. As you're tying it onto the ponytail, so let me just show you guys what I'm talking about as I'm tying it and tightening it I'm going to pull down as I'm tightening it. I'M pulling it down now before adding the final bundle of Marley hair gon na go ahead and um hi scarf. I'M gon na go ahead and click what I've already done away with the Marley hair. Well, actually, I'm a ponytail little way, then I'm gon na go ahead and fold over my ponytail to make it smaller and I'm basically going to create another bubble. Ponytail around my already bubble. Ponytail now I'm gon na go ahead and use the last Marley pack that I have and tie it around this new bubble. Ponytail remember when we are tying it we're gon na tie downward I'm gon na let down the remainder of the Marley hair. Just to see the overall flow of how the ponytails looking I'm gon na go ahead and create the base of my ponytail using the hair strands. I told you guys to leave off to the side now you could be done and go ahead and leave your ponytail. Like this, if you're having shorter than mine, then your bubble, ponytail - probably isn't like sticking up like that. But again my hair super thick dense and it's long so I'm gon na go ahead and use a bobby pin and just scoop it through the very end of my bubble, ponytail and attach it to the back kind of kitchen area of my hair so that it Stays down, this is what it's looking like right now and you even know if it looks bad or not back, just want to make sure that it's nothing like sticking up, and it looks really weird. I'M gon na go ahead and kind of make it look like this. You see the difference like that like this. Hopefully you guys can see the difference. All I did was aimlessly place bobby pins between the ponytail and the back of my head. Now it's laying a little bit flatter, which I like this point until it's a little bit longer than I would like, I'm gon na go ahead and cut off the very ends that are just hanging extremely long. It looks really fake. I don't like when the layers don't look natural, so I'm gon na go ahead and just shape up the ponytail a little bit now for the fun part, laying them it useless. Let'S get into them, I'm going to be using the EBI and 24-hour edge tamer. All right edges are done, gon na go ahead and let those set I'm actually going to apply one born layer of the cream with nature. Perfect edges hold just so my hair stuck and completely mold and then I'll come back and show you guys what the final results are. But I do want to apply this one more time now, I'm going to lay everything with two scars, one specifically for the edges and the other for the perimeter of my hair, alright y'all. So it's been a nice little minute. I think I've had my hair setting for a good half an hour, so now I'm ready to go ahead and take it down and see how these final results look. Y'All. My hair came out even better than the first time Wow. I showed out on this one. Y'All, I showed it out for my beauty gang. What do you think I freaking love it? I think it came out so cute if it seemed hard. It was because I was literally trying to do this hairstyle, while showing you guys making sure y'all saw the proper angles and stuff, but if you were just doing this on your own, I just said by yourself. I probably could have finish this hairstyle like 15 minutes max, so it's dope how convenient it is like I'm feeling it. I got ta give y'all close-up on this one. I really did that angles. Yes, this is probably one of my top three favorite hairstyles. I'Ve ever done on myself. I am like so proud of this wow wow wow wow. By the way, direct links to all the products that I used in this video can be found in description box below. If you do recreate this hairstyle be sure to tag me on Instagram, so I can show y'all love. You know. I got up a little bit also comment below what you guys thought of my method of putting this ponytail together instead of the typical little small. What do you think do you think my method was doing too much? Do you think my? Oh, that's a really good idea or you know what are your thoughts or if you have any other methods of doing a ponytail that makes it still look natural and not to like ridiculous up top. You should have comment that below last thing is to go ahead and keep you guys on 360, so you guys can see how my hair is looking looking and snatched off way around point-blank period.

Lauriaa: Currently wearing a wig for the “cold” season in FL, once spring rolls around I will be rocking this expeditiously

Isabella K: but your hair without the extra pony was everything

AnaisJae: Loooooove this method! A tip when doing the “bubbles” with your real hair: Do the first bubble pulling your hair downward so that most of the tension is on the underside of your ponytail rather than the top. Then repeat a couple more times like this, fold your hair to the desired length and then continue to the bottom. Your hair will lay down more initially and the ponytail won’t have to be as stiff. Hope that made sense lol
