How I'M Styling My Damaged Short Hair

Hey everyone and welcome back to my channel, it's sophie hannah here and i hope you guys are staying safe and are super well. So this feels really weird sitting down and filming a youtube video because i feel like i haven't done one for quite a few weeks. Now, obviously, with being away, but i am back and i thought i would do a hair video you guys are super invested in my hair. It'S not great. I'M not gon na lie um. If you saw my vlog, i think it was like. Maybe five weeks ago had a bit of a hair disaster, a hair salon and i had a lot of breakage. I mean my hair is growing like it's growing really well, but i've got a lot of breakage and i'm really trying not to add heat anymore. I'M letting it air dry i'm using lots of moisturizing products. Now it got very dry in the sun, i'm only washing my hair twice a week. So obviously i can't really do much with my hair at the moment, so i thought i would show you guys how i'm wearing my hair and a couple of amazing products to get and like especially if you any of you have damaged hair. It is like you get up in the morning you're, just like my hair looks like it's making me feel like i'm not having a happy hair day, so i feel like yeah. I feel like you want to do something to your hair, where it makes you feel better, basically, you're not going to feel 100 because your hair is looking like. I have so much breakage lots of fly aways, it's just yeah, it's not that great, but i'm not washing it for another few days so anyway, by the way, i just want to say why i'm not washing it. It'S actually better to not wash your hair as often because it means that your scalp is producing like your natural oils and stuff, and it really helps your hair because the natural oils basically just help your hair um, grow better and stronger, and it just helps repair. It so it's a little bit greasy, but i'm going with it i'm going with it so yeah. I just wanted to show you guys how i've been wearing my hair quite a lot lately, because i haven't been able to do anything with it, but i wanted to show you guys yeah how i'm doing what products i use. So, let's get going. So it's a slick back pony. It'S super simple, but i wanted to show you some amazing products that help you get that slicked back pony look, especially if you've got a lot of breakage like me down your parting, so first off, if you are going to comb or brush your hair, make sure You get a wide tooth comb, if i'm honest with you, i've not really been brushing and combing my hair. It'S not really recommended, especially if you're like me and when you're brushing it it's breaking off, so it's best best stuff to just not really brush it. But if you are use a wide tooth comb um but yeah, so i'm trying really not to brush or comb it. That often - and if i am i'm doing it very, very gently um and very slowly just to get any little knots out, but obviously yeah this. This does pull on my hair, so yeah. I try not to do it too often and then slick back pony, you're gon na want to get a silk scrunchie or hairband. Do not put any like elastics like this on your hair, don't put any of the actual little elastics. You want to get a silk scrunchie or hair band. The silk against your hair is very gentle, and also you don't want to be tying it too tight. Obviously, i'm doing a ponytail, so you kind of don't want to do a ponytail too often i'd say maybe wear a pony for half the week. Leave it down for the rest or maybe do a plait. If you can like, i can just about do a plait in my hair, just um see you kind of want to mix it up. You don't want to do the same hairstyle because it will kind of put pressure on the same bit of your hair and obviously that can cause breakage as well. So that's why i say: get a silk scrunchie or hairline, but also don't tie it too tight. So, as you can see, i've pretty much already got a middle part, but it is a bit scraggly. So i'm just going to grab some water having a bottle of water spray is really good. Whenever you're doing any hairstyles, you can grab these little bottles from amazon. Please work here we go and then i'm just going to grab a comb and use the metal end and just make sure i've got a nice strong part in, but also because i've got so many flyaways, i'm just making sure i'm parting, my flyaways on the right Side um like so okay and then what we're going to do is get our scrunchie and just pull our hair back and just loosely tie it like so and then we are gon na work with these flyaways so guys if you've got a lot of flyaways. Like me from growth, i'm gon na see, if i can just flick him back up, so you can see the water's kind of keeping him down, but i've got a lot of breakage that is now regrowing, especially around the front as well. I'Ve got all these little baby hairs now growing. I mean it's great that it's growing, but obviously it's annoying that they're all flicked up. So personally, i don't really like that, because it means you can see the breakage in my hair. So you guys all need this product. It is the elf xx, gen, atkin, hair and brow pomade. It'S not that good on your brows, if i'm honest with you, it doesn't really hold mine in place, but on your hair, this is great. I'M just going to come in close and show you the brush that comes with it. So this is the brush on the end, it's like kind of like a plasticky, very sharp spiky brush, and it really helps tame all those flyaways. So all i'm going to do is literally comb them down down my center parting, i'm going to do one side and then i'll show you the comparison, and i like to use it around the front of my hair as well. The comb is so so good. It'S very precise, and it's very, very gentle on your hair as well so yeah, i'm just going to do this side and then i'll show you the difference in this product. It is so good, like already look at the difference, so this side has been tamed with the hair pomade and this other side hasn't and obviously you can see all those flyaways, i'm gon na do the other side, so you guys can see. The only thing is, you do have to keep like dipping it in as you go also, if you don't really like the product, that's in here you could just use hair gel or if you don't want to invest in this product, you could just use hair gel, But i actually find this product to be quite soft. It doesn't dry hard like hair gel. It'S quite you can see it's quite shiny as well. It'S quite nice! Oh my god, my roots are so long. I never let them go this long, but i'm not going to be bleaching my hair anytime soon. I feel like i'm going to have the root look for a while. I might actually do my shadow root again. Um yeah i'm having my hair cut in a few weeks, but i'm gon na do a video next week, hopefully with you guys on like how maybe i should get my hair cut because it desperately needs cutting, and i don't know whether to just do a short Bob or do a pixie cut, i don't know a mullet who knows we'll see, but anyway, i've just tamed pretty much all of those flyaways there. We go. Look at that guys. Honestly, you need this product, it is so freaking good, i'm obsessed with it, and it just makes your hair super shiny cool. So once you've done that you can then take your hair out um. I'M just gon na go back in at the front and do these bits again now, so i actually have a lot of split ends even on this section of my hair. So sometimes i like to just gently comb that pomade through these side bits and i've got this kind of acts as my comb, if that makes sense, but it's very very soft and flexible comb. It'S not like pulling my hair out or anything like that, which is great. If you didn't want to use the comb, you could actually just use the back of this, which is flat, but i find the comb actually really gets in to all those little split ends that you've got and flattens them. Okay, we're looking good, then i'm going to take the coco and eve like a virgin miracle hair elixir. I freaking love this just a little squeeze, rub it in your hands and then i'm just gon na gently kind of rub my hair down and then put my hands like behind my ears and start going into that ponytail style. This adds shine. It adds heat protection, not that i'm adding any heat to my hair. It'S infused with tropical blend of coconut papaya, mangosteen and prickly, pear and hyaluronic acid, and it's great for taming fly-aways. You can even add volume with this, but i love the fact that it also adds shine so you're going to get a really nice shiny slick, back, look with your hair and then, if you've got nails. I highly recommend using your nails to kind of comb through your hair, because obviously i'm not i'm avoiding using a brush and a comb at the moment. So then we're gon na grab the hair into a little ponytail like this and then silk scrunchy. Don'T tie it too tight, i'm just gon na do twice round like that and then got to be glued hairspray. It'S amazing! I spray it on my hands and then go in on my hair, because i don't want to put too much on it's just like a little bit of extra kind of hold for those flyaways like so, and also, i feel like it. Just spreads the product out on your hair and i've got a few extra little fly aways at that at the back here. Can you see this one? It'S so sad, but it's growing, so i'm just gon na go in and comb that down. I'Ve got quite a lot of short bits at the back that don't actually go into my ponytail so again bit spritz on the hand and flatten at the back, i'm just gon na re-pop that scrunchie in so, as you can see you, i don't really need a Brush or anything for this, it's all about the products really that help tame those flyaways but also add shine to your hair, and that is pretty much it guys. It'S super simple, but it is all about the product, but also my hair doesn't look hard and it doesn't feel hard. It feels soft and shiny, but it's going to stay in place all day and then to finish it off, because i feel like i've got a bit of a pee head. My head is so small, i like to add big chunky earrings to this slick. Back. Look! Yes, this is a vibe, so yeah. This is basically how i've been wearing my damaged, hair, um and the great thing about this is i try not to sleep with the hairband in because, obviously i don't want to put pressure on that same point. You know 24 hours a day like five days a week, so i actually just take the scrunchie out and then i sleep in a silk hair wrap like a hair turban. Let me go and get my one to show you which one it is. This is from silk london, and this is my silk hair wrap. I used to have a purple one, but i am left it on holiday, so i ordered a new one and i got a pink one. It'S that good, so yeah. This honestly guys is so good to sleep in you can use a silk pillowcase, but i find this works way better and yeah. You just pop this on your head and i take out my silk scrunchie and i sleep with this and then the next day. My hair, like at the front here the products tend to hold quite well. So all i do is spritz with water. Maybe add a little bit of hair oil again and i just go back straight into this little slick pony and i'm good to go i'll pop. A link below guys, if you want to get yourself a silk turban, it's honestly such a good investment for your hair um, even if your hair's not damaged it's just a good product to sleep in so you're, preventing damage um but yeah guys.
