Let's stay in touch on instagram: stayforevertrue1

Hey you two. I want to give you all update on my hair. Slash get ready so yeah. My hair has been really wacky lately just over this past year and then having like issues on and off with my scalp like dryness to my scout, and you see I just recently: did it uh riskless but yeah first, okay, this summer, I thought that the issue With my hair was, I was cool throughout the summer last summer, summer 2017 and then one of my stylist she hey, I don't know she did something different. She thought we shouldn't do anything different and my hair was so freakin dry. My scalp was so dry and flaky. I was like it had be some type of product that she put on it because it was like excessively flaky like. I only was able to keep it up for like a week and I had to take it out of washing, but then I had changed my diet and I started eating being like in July and it started getting better. I had less dandruff and then it came back again my total in the last year, I'm just putting this okay um Jamaican black Jemaine, castor oil. On the front of my hair, I like this applicator, I like it a stick and it smells good. I like this. I got it from Marshalls, you do really don't need a whole lot of spray as well, but it's thick can you know having uses a lot actually having you? This is like early March here. It is the end of May, but anyway, I've been having so much issues with dry scalp. I, like I didn't know who was associated with diet with stress with some of the products I was using like I don't know so now. What I started to do well, what I've heard to do my last wash right before need is ruthless. I did a how old treatment on my scalp don't know. If that's gon na help I'll let y'all know how it works, and then I did not do the ACC. Usually I do a CV rinse like pretty much with every wash, so I can avoid product buildup and remove any product build-up, but I didn't do it this time. I just did the the hot oil treatment, so so it is hot outside and I've been walking around. Do a lot looking more work out because I'm hurting out, I want to get too big, so I pull my hair up into an updo. Keep that up for a few days, so I'm just using my bikini bra, strap, which oh my gosh works, so good to get all your hair just into one ponytail and it's not like all loose and all over the place. But he just gets everything up, especially with my hair being relatively thick and somewhat long, so the company tail like right here and then to do a bun, I'm not going to a traditional on my homage of the vine got ta, see how it looks all right. Some things over and do this real, quick, I'm pulling on my hair up and, of course, like I find it this work, even when I don't have my army twist it, but you just pull everything up. You look so much better. I got it so far for the first put the strap in the front. I got the actual hook in the back, so pulling it up going to where I want it to be something I guess part right there. Yes, I have a little bit little. Okay, I'm sure we got everything in there. I like that. Who is that help, and I think I can do one more towards the back, hopefully not too tight, because I cannot take tight styles at all nope. I think it out real quick, you need it. The only trick is to make sure you can actually you got it the right way to get dinner there we go. That'S perfect, Oh feels a little tighter. Let me make shots well a locks through and it's just like the carpet ponytail. I swear just put everything up so cut that up and it's it's in a bag. So even if you don't have a bikini bra, strap like that, like I will say, just go to thrift store and just buy like a thrilling fight between broad top and use. It because it's like it works shove it. Okay, let's see how to do this done so yeah, that's nothing! My biggest dilemma is just making sure I can keep my scouts. I was outraged because it's not clean enough, like I'm, not cleaning it well, it's the products that I'm using and I used to use this product called Avalon shampoo and it worked it. I don't know why I stopped using it. So I just twist it down wondering is that how I learned to the line? Mmm? No, I'm just drinking a smoothie run your loss, so good cup of frozen strawberries, home fresh mango, crushed apricot, frozen banana chia seeds and chia seeds and auto. Ok, not perfect. Some spray the ends of my hair and, as you all know, if you watch my videos, I put some type of essential oil in my water just to keep my hair smelling good, especially with the heat in just when you're cooking, you get it. If you around, you might get smoked or if you smoke yourself, so you don't get smell me or her and it's just good trunk freshen. It up. Let some essential a little bit good, but I hear anyway, so I think I'm afraid it that way. When I take it out, it has some type of fixture, so we do a lot of brands across. Do you all Cobra raising lots? Like I mean, I don't have issues with breakage on the end of my life at the time, but I should be that too just part of that's just part of it having locks to me, but it could be to use a rubber band. I don't really use in the office when I will go and get my hair done, as I wish show you them having not been back for a while. I think, since, like January, so that's my thing I'll start doing. I actually start an actual routine with my hair, where I reached the sensitive I'm not in school anymore. My schedules a lot more open and I can have normal life. So I'm going to schedule our Eclipse do on myself I'll schedule them every four weeks and then I'm a wash me after my reach list. I move a two week max is how long on the wait to wash it again cause, I think every switch. You don't want to wash it like the very next week because it's like you wasted, you know it's like you wasted all that frickin summer eat with me on her. Then you watch out the reach Liz, okay and the reason I'm keeping it away. It'S because I want to be able to take now be done this line and have left a little crinkly style for a little bit. So when you're doing your hair, you styling it kind of trying to think about that, like how you can have like a two on my style just to make it easier yourself, so you can get the most out of yourself, that's it! So my thing right now is getting this freaking scalp together. So, like I said, I'm going to turn about how we requested it retwisting before we keep it up and not wash it for a maximum of two weeks. I mean yeah two weeks after that and then I'll make sure that, in between trying to reserve and loose in between the reach Liz, I make sure that woo in between the reason we put it down to do I'm going to make sure I watch it. Every week, so that's it, I don't, I think I'm gon na just do the ACC rent once a month and that's when I rest my hair. So I didn't do it this time, but I'm going to do it once a month and it only got me what I Reese with my hair. If I know it that I am having more growth, then I'll adjust it. But I just want to do a one, because I don't know that was attributing to my hair getting drier, I'm not sure like. Like I said, I don't know if this diet, I don't know what it is, that's causing it, but I really want to get it under wraps um. So do that and then it's horns mushroom. So I don't really have a specific shampoo that I'm like. Oh, my god. I love this, but now that I think about it. When I was using to have a line product, I think it's like Avalon organics. They sell it at Marshall's. I always go to Marcin. They also sell it at Whole Foods and part, like some other, helps new places. So right now, all I'm using is the Carroll daughters, black, vanilla, it's okay to me. I think that a lot of these natural hair care products or more for moisturizing, your hair voices like clarifying now rather go for something that's clarifying, because I have lots and there's you know that can be so much buildup in your locs. I read it just clean. My hair and then put the moisture back in, but maybe that's not have an issue on my moisture. I don't know, but I think I'm gon na go back to the seven iron products they have my rosemary and see. Cherie type of shampoo and rosemary helps to soothe your scalp. T-Shirt is a antibacterial and it helps to else we did it as well to totally, but I have my her this time. I just used a little swab. The amount of the use that is used to swamp and for the first two washes and in the last wash I want with the Carol's Daughter because, like I said, I think it's more moisturizing than clarifying. So I kind of use it as a conditioning shampoo, and then I followed up with a traditional conditioner after that it so that I try that, and probably when I do my retwist I'll, do I don't know, what's smart to do what all treatment then do a Acd then wash it then condition it. Oh Tex already takes me about an hour to wash my hair so and that's one of the things no kind of I want to say afraid of, and I'm thinking about like when I had this baby. Instead, that's gon na be a lot of freaking. Work is doing my hair plus raising a newborn so yeah. That'S why I want to kind of get a routine now and figure out. Okay, what's best for my hair, now kind of get my reach back trained to form like if you reach it's kinda like when you got permed hair, even natural hair, the to straighten, and you wrap your hair up at night, and it's like kinda, like your hair. Just I don't know, like you, train it to go into that direction that you wanted to go, go through evenly wash it like your hair is just. It has like some type of memory that they just go in today then forms no matter what or, if you porch our hair down the middle. All the time like your hair, just automatically just go down the middle when you wash it, you know saying that's very dry, that's similar with, like is, if you train your locs or if you retwist your hair, often not every week, not every two weeks, just every Four weeks some people go longer than that, but if you do it like that, then your hair is going to start to train as it's coming up to room. It'S gon na start to go back into the latkes. I have a lot of hair now because I haven't been getting reached with that. Often that's like sticking out and like totally outside the lock. So I want my hair to form back and said a lot of things I'm not loose at the root so once you're good, and also once you do that when you're here is it retwist, it it'll, look a lot better it'll, look more uniform and you'll be Able to do more styles, Oh angry! Yes, I want to try and work out yeah, so I can have more stamina and I don't know if it's because I've been kind of my hand, my head is that what makes it so? I can't breathe because when I wash my hair, yes, it's the issue I feel like this is near when I wash my hair, because one like I said it takes like over an hour to do. Maybe I shouldn't have your hands over your head when you've heard it, I was look it up. Fine, let me know cuz that was cause me, the upper um and you when I wash my hair the first time I happen, I'm like really Brandi like you need to go, get off. The money trail is still Chargers back up, but I was on like Avery's pregnant and I'm gon na do a video about my first trimester if anybody's interested, um so yeah, I was like washing my hair and I think, like my husband was like. I was in the shower washing her. I think he was either in here with me. Could you know just be talking or he was like outside the bath or nothing love hold on? Oh, I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I was like so out of breath. I was just like on the side like, oh my gosh. I cannot believe this is happening to me like I was. It was like just stretch and it takes a lot cuz. I watch it three times. Rinse it let it sit while she initially that whole process - and it's just so much I just felt like I cannot do this. I won't be able to do my hair. My whole pregnancy, but now some of my breath launch, is doing this, I'm beginning to think that it's because I keep my hands over my head. While I'm doing my hair, I have to look better see if there's something. Let me know if y'all know. So that's another thing: it's like hot, don't be. When I get farther, I don't know. I know that plenty of women have had to move before me and have done all this stuff where this is new to me and I'm just like wall. You know not really knowing what to expect. I mean you read stuff and hear people talk about. You know, there's no story, not there, but it's difficult. Is you there any different advice for anything different buddy buddy different, so I'm gon na say about that. It'S Prince all these locks, one more time like I said when I take them down, I want to have some type of crinkle or whatever it's like you, leave it down or school those styles with that texture in it I love having section of my life cut Sheet after you do a wreath with like your hair, it is so so flat like you. Just don't have anybody, so you can put a little body to it easier here. It just makes it look better, at least for me how to get us. So, let's see how we wanted to biz, maybe I could do like. I don't know lock loop like what pedals like that into a blind. I can one big flower, that's pretty see, there's not bit tight in the back. We see if I can pool anymore the points out so that it's tighter and a guess I should have checked before I did it not for anything I'm going to it. So, let's take mmm. Let'S just start pinning it. I could tuck it underneath the ponytail holder, but I think I'm gon na do a bomb community. So I got the probably puffy pants that open up and we'll see how they look so just turn in lock and work towards the bay of the ponytail and I'm putting the bobby pin. Now you can do it many ways, it's a little tricky when you, when you got walking trying to buy pants, because usually you can put a bite in there right through your hair, but it means it's kind of a lot of work, not for the body and Through a lock, so you have to kind of go around the locks and kind of leave your way through it. So I got it through here: go to locks, turn it and then tuck it in around on its outer see. If I can get that in there this, I want it to come up a little bit more okay. I got that one now I'll. Do the same thing put this on the bottom: do it do it? Did you put your nozzles either way? Okay, so fasten it attach it to the ponytail holder and then come back here. So it's kind of like creating like a little flower and write a lot around the barn, a flower bond of rated flower bun. That'S, I think what I'm going to call. This looks if I can get it right. Oh yeah, I might just do this without me. Talking you the thing you don't up. Do you kind of have passion to win it? Don'T just look at it from your arm from the front of you. Look at it from the profile as well to make sure that is you're getting the kind of look that you want, try to look at it from different angles. I want to have a little bit of value in the back, so I put this this win. The battery and you know what I'm gon na go suck your write up. The home down homes made that easy for myself and then this one I'm starting in from the front and feast sleep on the front you to look like. I got like to tie like ransoms coming out and I don't want it to minister and look like that. Hmm, maybe I'll have it just come like that, which I think have a just go around like that, a little bit to make a negative pull the side. You don't look very. Let'S look for some more bodies here we go. I keep my like on this little baby scrunchie, so I'm try to be organized yeah, I'm trying to get organized okay, so you pull it around Poirot I'll! Think of me, if there another whack and do it maybe now I create more. However, I do the back and then I try to deal with the front later, so we don't tuck this under again, and you can do, is look without having to use magazines like with lots of the beauty of life, the beauty of lots of it. You can just use either your hair to create for yourself or you can use your pencil holder and just tuck tuck your right underneath that fungus and other that's why I love using this. This elastic bikini bra strap because it stretches so well so yeah you see how much gear I got already steel, so you can just use that and tuck it underneath there come on everybody like done with bobby pins, and you put that bobby pin in if you Are having you got trouble again, you got talk about it in if you have issues with like if it feels like uncomfortable, when you put it in the you need to redo it because it feels uncomfortable to the Emily. The longer you do that fat along and keep that styling, your hair is going to feel worse because all that pressure is gon na be on your scalp. They have artists and pressures, I'm gon na scout and yeah. So just take it out and read it with my tissue, you don't have to be in pain to be beautiful, like you, don't have to be in pain like no, that's, not cool, so you know I'm playing this through again, oh shoot. You went right through my down the center, I mean who I'm putting it right between the braids again and tucking it I'm trying to see, though I wanted to come more or do I wait to. I wanted to have a little bit more value, and so this is not really going all the way up, and so there it's actually going right here. It'S worth was about a minute, it's tucked in underneath the other box. So, instead of using this I'll, be by open Bobbi's hand, I'm actually going to use a flat one, because instead of me, the reason why I we use the open one is because I'm trying to go around the ponytail holder. So it's open and it will fit about the sneeze. No, not okay, it's open, so it will fit around ponytail holder. But since I'm putting it on my butt on the locks, it's not as thick as the ponytail holder, it doesn't need. It needs to be a little bit more tighter if they make any sense ER. So that's why we use a flat. Ponytail holder looks like Bobby's here like this, the ones that are closed. Sometimes I have to open it to get it in here and I get it in my freakin mail, so it's in there and it's flat and I'm going to tuck it try to slide it around my lock and put it in there like that. So she's feeling your hair, you see it's gon na, go like this. Alright, so let's see what we got like, I found we'll go back to the back. Do it order go to the back, see how that looks. I actually have Ramon some water. Oh that's! So that's what i'ma do and this one coming around I'm going to use the body's hand for that one, and that should do it. You want to try to make sure you cover both. Is you can kind of get a feel for it? So this one is hanging. I can either bring it back to the front again or some bring it back, I'm going to bring it back. So this was already loaded. I got actually getting on a lot. I'M open it up a little bit at first. I just kinda had to flee it like at first, I kind of had it just slid, like kind of into my hair like this, but it wasn't holding so now. I'M gon na have to actually try to put it on a lock, so I'm actually has officially and put it on my route or just kind of like tucking in our health it'll say: try to find a lot to actually put it on okay. So it's more secure, so I think that the thing with people are doing styles, they kind of be like. Where do I fart and really just like this? This whole looks. I had no idea, I was gon na end up with this look. I want it to be a little, you know more value to it, but I had no idea how I was gon na get to this. I just started on you. I wanted on my face I'll, read it up, dude so putting upon okay from there. A lot of times I want to just do a traditional zone, or do I want to do, however? Okay, I want to make sure I have something with texture once I get down, so I okay done, let's braid it, I could have twisted it, but the thing with twist is that twist they're not as secure in braids and you have to do a little smaller. You still might not get that texture that you want. The braids are pretty Hardy, they're pretty sturdy actually say so. They they hold up a lot more with Charlotte and me, and once I hand it down, I'm just kind of playing with it. So you just have to just start from somewhere. Okay in Dombey intimidating, you don't have to hire somebody to do your hair. You don't have to some open it up. You don't have to be scared to display around your hair, not pointing out wish. I could see this, but I just thought the like this close to where I want this to end up, and I put it around a lot so hopefully it will fit it'll stay there. You got this little piece, um cut this up and we'll just bring it around like this, so I wanted it to be bigger with my hair to be bigger anyway. This piece just didn't want to keep coming out. I guess if I keep listening, I'm putting the world to live normal and sucking it in the end, if theif I got to open bobby pin boom kind of example, the bags, I don't have it all the way up to the pontoon. I got it just around two locks like before tucked and that's the look ya'll, let's see lock coming that way and is that some artists, because my hair is not that light, but yeah I mean you can do something right here. You can put my last video. I use a card shell. You can look at my video on how you can you know kind of decorate your hair with jewelry so put some type of jewelry right there. Anything this would be able to use possible to the flower. You know you're going to open it up to being able to play with it, so I spent it by my face. It looks put together. I just want to fix this part, so it yeah, that's alright, looks together, looks real, pretty limited, so yeah easy size. Did it inside that long harps most of time enough, but I hope you like it thanks for watching subscribe.
