Natural Hair Challenge - 30 Days, 30 Updos: Day 3

Okay, so we're gon na go straight into it, start off with a braid out or to start, as you usually do just a recap of what I do in the evenings. To put my hair, I spritz my hair with my daily spritz. Then I keep in this bottle and then these days I'm basically putting my hair into some chunky twists. You can put that put your hair into chunky twists into chunky braids into kronos flat, twists, whatever it is, to keep ear, stretched and also detangled, so I've undone. My twists and now I'm going to just fluff it out continue frothing it out until it gets to a sort of kind of uniform length. Excuse the lighting. It'S been quite a miserable day, so this video is propagating two piped darker. Then my other videos do cuz. It'S the evening, okay, so once you get your hair ready, um, what you do is you start off Michael's out of the way start off with your comb, you can use like a rat tail comb just to sort of create, basically a line, so I'm just basically Just putting a diagonal line in my hair doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, but just as sort of neat as possible. Okay, so now that's done. I'M gon na split some of my daily spritz just on the hairline smooth that in make sure that you massage the spritz the same way that the hair has been parted. Okay. So now I take my gel I'm kindly using ISO + styling gel. You can use any gel of your choice. Basically, this is just for for reference in case you have kind of stuck on jealous, so I just put a bit in smooth that in just a long, the hairline, okay, do it on the other side. Okay, so I'm gon na tell you a secret when I was doing this hairstyle. I had a very clear picture of what I wanted. The end result to be, but if you follow me on Facebook, you'll see that I posted a comment to stay to sort of thing saying that fro my hair has fun to caught on that we're doing this hair challenge and my hair is very resistant. So there's some times when I do hair styles, so I'm just using a brush to just smooth the gel in more then sometimes I might do some hairstyles and my hair is not cooperating. This was one of those styles, so you will know. I had an end sort of picture of how I thought my hair was going to look like it did not look like that, so it was quite interesting because what ended up happening was fine anyways, and I just worked with what I had. It was one of those things. I'Ve gone to the point now where, if my hair is saying no, I'm just gon na be like okay, fine cool, but I'm going to do something that I'm gon na be able to walk out of my house with so right. Getting on set um take a cut-up pair of tights or whatever stretchy headband that you use and actually because my fro is so resistant, I don't think it's gon na stay that way, so I'm just gon na take some pins, just normal, bobby pins and pin none, Especially the side bit because I have a feeling, if I start using just the headband tight thing: it's not gon na stay. Ok, so just keep it in place, use as many pins as you need you so now, I'm gon na take my headband and just like. I do with my other sort of props. I'M just gon na tie lose the other back and then start pushing my headband upwards, just being careful not to mess up with this line that I created okay. So as it goes up, I'm gon na tighten it up back, keep pushing okay, so I'm just being careful not to sort of interfere with the clips that I've put in okay. So push it up as far as you can well. As far as you want really you're going to be doing pretty much like a it's, not a full high path, but it's not just a sort of low puffy there. Okay, so now take a scarf. I use the same time scarf. I used to wrap my hair at night with fold in half and cover your hair. At least the part that needs to be flattened. Okay, so make sure that all the parts that I want flat align flat okay. So this is where I thought things were going to be different. I can't even describe to you what I was sort of picturing for this look, but it's cool. So what I did now was I basically divided my hair into three sections. They don't have to be neat okay, so I basically got about that much of my hair okay! So that's about a third! So what I'm gon na do now is I'm going to just pull it out tonight me, okay and I'm going to do what I call a loose twist so separate, separate this section into two loose sections. It doesn't have to be defined, and now I'm just gon na pull it up and then at the top you're going to do a two strand twist. So you just just your hair around each other like that, just hair around again and keep doing that until you reach the end. So I basically didn't start at the bottom here, because then it would be a very defined kind of twist. Okay, make sure as much hair is in as possible, so what I'm gon na do now is I'm gon na pull the end like this and I'm gon na fold it over put it towards the back, so I'm gon na pin it here. Okay, so take your bobby pins. You only need maybe about two or three for this part and then slide it in from one direction. Secure the tail of that twist. Take another bobby pin and then do the same thing, but from the other direction can I make sure that it's secure and then just repeat with the other three section you take out the scarf that you used to flatten your hair, okay, okay! So now, you're gon na do the same thing you did to these two humps or bumps as you did well yeah, so you things'll get going to do the same two things so twist and pin 1 direction. Another pin from the other direction to secure okay. So now you've basically got these three sort of humps and basically so if you used a headband to basically secure this, even if you use tights, you can always know just tuck in the ends. Just do it discreetly, and this is a style, and this is kind of originally what I was hoping to get, but what I ended up doing was I made sure that everything here I was happy with so now. What I'm gon na do is I'm gon na undo this, so this is totally up to you whether you want to do as I have it now or to have it a bit sort of poofier looking, so I just untie, let's dive or tides on it, and So now, with a tight size, headband wise, I'm just going to secure with pins more pins, just one directions should be enough. If you see, if you feel that your hair is sort of popping out or anything just doing the other direction as well, I'm just gon na remove this one pin here and pin it further back up here. Just get it to a point where you're happy tuck. This one in okay and that's it it was a very human bomb to kind of style, but it worked out quite cute in the end and quite needs as well. Obviously, if you have a bit of shorter hair, you might not be able to achieve this style as easily, let's not as somebody with medium to longer hair. This is the finished look cool thanks for watching
