10 Min Protective Style For Max Hair Growth | Using Clip-Ins, No Heat, Type 4 Hair

Hello, everybody welcome back to our channel. I am jc if you are new here from just uh jc here or whatever, okay, so another video in my protective style journey collection. So i decided to go with a different protective style. You guys see! So if you want to see how i got this ponytail honey keep on watching, okay, so for this, the first thing that i like to do is start off with an oldish kind of twist out now this twist out isn't too old. I kind of just took my hair out, but i knew i wanted to do this style, but you could also do this with an old twist out once you're over it. Um so start off with the old twist out got ta go in with my hair growth. Oil click the link down below. If you are interested in a hair growth oil, you see, my hair has been thriving. I have been doing a lot of protective styles, which definitely has been helping, but i'm also very, very diligent, with putting my oils on before. I put in those protective styles and i think that has really been helping my hair, so i'm very happy with how it looks can't wait to do a twist out and see you know what it's given or whatever, but yeah start off with that you can see. I massage it into my scalp put it everywhere, because i know i'm going to be wearing this style for a minute, maybe a week, maybe a week and a half. So i really want that oil to be doing what it needs to do on my scalp. Then i start off with dividing the hair so because i'm trying to go for a higher type of ponytail. With this i like to start off because my hair is afro hair, it does tend to be more fluffy. It does tend to frizz up more because i'm trying to get it as sleek as i possibly can i like to do this in layers. I recommend doing that so for me, i kind of divide out the perimeter of the hair, where i'm going to focus a lot more product and a lot more attention and energy into making it sleeker, and i separate that and then tie the middle section. So the middle section i use just a little bit of gel a little bit of eco styler gel. That'S it a little bit of water as well in that section, because i'm just trying to get it as flat as possible, but also it's the middle section. It'S going to be the center of the ponytail, so i actually don't have to put that much because i don't really care about how it looks as much as i care about the perimeter and how that looks. So that's what i do and, as you can see, i get the ponytail in there um and that is the first layer, then we're gon na work on the outside layer, which is the more important layer. Okay. So once that's done now, i'm moving on to the perimeter, so this is where there will be a bit more product there again i try and be as sparing as possible when i can be, but you want to put a bit more product, especially if you want This product, this um style to last so i like to use my water eco, styler gel as well as some got to be glued gel the got to be glue very important because again, that really holds it in place. I'M going to spread it as thinly as you can with each layer. I'Ve got to be glue because, obviously, it's very thick but um. If you get chunks in there, sometimes it can show up the longer. You wear the style. You start seeing the white like little crust and stuff like that, so the thinner, you apply each layer, the better so yeah i put that on comb it through and i do two different ponytails. So the back. When i finish with that, i tie a ponytail and then when i do the front, i do the similar thing and then also tie the ponytail there. But the point is you just want to get it as slick as possible so that you can have it blend better when you apply the ponytail and look a bit more natural than it would, if you didn't do all of that, so i work on that section. You can see slick and i'm slick, and i slick in it takes a second uh, but that's a very important part slick get some water in there and then, when you're finished, you wrap the hair and wrapping it overnight. For me really really seals the deal. It'S not a style that i can do and then leave with. I really have to like wrap it overnight to really get it to set whenever i do something like this: okay, so for the ponytail now, this is how we get it to be a real protective distance, a protective style, because i'm going to braid up the ponytail. I want to protect my ends again: that's going to help with length retention, which is what i want. I want to have a cute hairstyle, but also grow my hair. At the same time, i want it all baby. I want it all, so i braid the length of my hair um. I braid it. You know as carefully as possible and once that's braided easy now, because my hair is a bit long, i'm going to fold it over. So i decided to fold it over to create a shorter base where we can start adding in the extension. So for me just fold it over tuck the end of your hair into the um, the band one of the bands at the top and then use another band to secure the two sides of that braid in the center. Just to make it a bit stronger and sturdier and not, as you know, flouncy so from here now we go into the clip in section okay for the ponytail. That part is a bit more simple, so you have your clip in and for me, i like to start at the top and just go with two different layers again, because i folded my hair in half, i go with the top layer so putting it putting the Clippings around the perimeter at the top or the circumference around the top. I like to start with the clips a clip in the back and then wrap it around, and then it usually clips in the back of the ponytail meaning the underside of the ponytail, just so that it's easier to blend and harder to notice and see. That'S my tip: if you have longer clippings, maybe you won't need that, but for me the way my clip-ins were it just worked better that way, so i do that. Hopefully it is easy and clear to see, but all you want to do is wrap it around. So i do like, i think i did three at the top layer. Um the. If you space them out the ponytail is just gon na look funny. It'S going to look very stringy towards the end, so you want to keep them chunked together, so that the ends don't look as crazy, especially with these kind of clippings that are made to look natural, so they naturally thin out at the base of the the hair Or so or the length of the hair, so that way i just found it to be better trust me, okay, i messed up and i did it the other way. Now i don't like how this looks so i went back and did it again. So i put three around the top: remember the bulkier. It is at the top the more it kind of covers everything else at the bottom when it falls so again, that's the reason why you want to keep it all concentrated at the top, especially then i go down to a second layer. Second layer was around where my ponytail holder was holding it together a bit above that. Actually, because again, i wanted to keep the length of the ponytail somewhat condensed, so it doesn't look too crazy, um the hang time, so i did the rest of the clip-ins there and i like the way it turned out. I feel like it looks good i'm going to see i'm just thinking about curling it, but we'll see how it is when it is all finished, but you need the hair to dry so set it wrap everything up, and that's that, oh before you wrap it. If you want to hide the band, you can use a piece of hair, take a piece of hair and wrap it around wrap it around the ponytail. That way, you can hide everything. That'S happening there with the clip-ins. Obviously, that's a trick that we use in a lot of things, but you know just in case definitely try that you can also use a bobby pin to secure that. But after that you are all done, wrap it set it and forget it. Baby, okay set it and forget it, okay. So this is the final look, as you can see, it's just a nice little simple ponytail. I really wanted to do one of these like slip. Ups like how the girls were doing like a, but i couldn't get it. I have a curling iron and it just wasn't given what i'm supposed to give. I don't know how i couldn't get it to work, but you know has a little something a little something going on nothing crazy, but this is it. Of course, i did my baby hairs a little bit just to smooth it in and um work with the texture. It'S really hard for me to get my edges, so is the best i can do but yeah. This is the final final look, a fully protective style once again, of course, i use my head scarf every night that really helps solidify it and keep it um as preserved as possible, because i'm gon na try and maintain this hair for at least a week. Maybe even a week and a half we'll see two weeks, that's the plan, but you know ready and willing to adjust, but i really do like this look. I'M excited that i found a different way to use clip-ins once again. Clip-Ins are coming for the wind this summer and these hair cells that i'm doing i'm trying them out. But when i really like them, they're going to be in my rotation of styles, so this one is definitely being added to the rotation, because it was super easy to do so. That is it.
