This Natural Hair Updo Is The Easiest Go-To Summer Hairstyle!

This is the perfect updo to keep you looking cool and cute this summer, and it's an easy one too. I'M starting with clean stretched hair that i shampooed and blow-dried the night before i'm only using two products for this updo. The first one is the ancient egyptian glistening gold twisting gel by the main choice and this product i bought at tj maxx a few months ago. So finally, i'm happy to be using it for the first time and i'm also using the black vanilla, leave-in conditioner by carol's daughter that smells so good and this product i bought at walmart about a week ago, and i've got some large purple flexi rods. For my curly curls y'all, this really is an easy, easy updo and it looks nice and neat on longer length, hair and shorter length, hair i'll start in the front first and handle the back a little bit later on. You'Ll see it, but first things. First, i section off the front where the curls will be just establishing the side, part and swooping that part around to behind my ear, on the opposite side and in a bit you'll see me spray on the carol's daughter leave-in, before applying the styling gel, i'm good For using just one product for my styles, my hair, you know, responds pretty well, but because i've never used this gel before and i don't know how my hair will take to it. I wanted to use a leave-in just to be on the safe side so leave in first then, the main choice - glistening gold - twisting gel then putting in the flexi rods - and you know, if you don't have flexi rods, other rollers will work. Perm rods will work because that's what i was going to use, but i stuck with the flexi rod. Sponge rollers will work. If you use sponge. Rollers, though, make sure you use the satin line. Sponge rollers sponge rollers are so underrated, but yeah satin line sponge rollers will work because they don't dry your hair out and what are the kind of rollers? Oh magnetic rollers. Those will work too. So, just whatever you might already have you don't just have to use flexi rods all right now before i go any further, i need to talk about my inspiration for this hairstyle. In my last video, i asked my viewers for suggestions on summer hairstyles. That would keep my hair off my neck because it's hot or i get hot, it's hot, i'm hot! It'S just a lot of hot going on the suggestions. Didn'T roll in like i'd hoped. So what did i do? I searched youtube. That'S what we all do um! So this style is inspired by natural mitra, hey nature, girl, natural mitra does all kinds of super cute styles, and i fell in love with her channel years ago because she does a lot of flat twists. I mean she does a ton of other hairstyles too, but y'all know. I am a flat twist chick to my core and i had the opportunity to meet her coincidentally, some years back at a hair show in atlanta, which is where i live, and she was really really nice i'll link her channel in the description box and i'll also Link the specific video she did that inspired me to do this updo. So after all of my flexi rods are in, i focus on the bun and smooth it out and get it. How i want it now, you can let your curls set for a few hours or you can leave them in overnight or sit under a hooded dryer like i did. If you need to get somewhere just like. I did all right i'll hush now, but keep on watching to see how the style comes together enjoy. So so so so you
