Thank you acacia. Thank you, acacia. Thank you. Acacia see this. That'S why you're my number one podcast, good god, don't worry! Y'All keep the podcasters lifted up.

So today i have started it so today we're going to be talking about summer hairstyles and how to prep your hair for the summer, and also we're going to be talking about certain styles. You can wear they'll, be great to wear the summer and some styles that might not be such a great idea and also how to prep your hair. So if y'all actually have any questions um, my podcast is where i'm actually live on youtube right now.

Tonight we laid laid back tonight. Tracy and sidebar, i didn't see the snacks in the chat, so the people said they're kind of thirsty and they ain't get their juice balls. So i just wan na go ahead and put that out there all right. So the first thing um we're gon na say, and this these summer, hair tips will kind of like vary depending on where you stay at here on the east coast in north carolina is sometimes very humid, sometimes on the west coast. I don't know how y'all humidity is. It can be a little bit more drier like like maybe that dry heat. You know what i'm saying. Do you know what i'm talking about that dry heat, so some of these tips can kind of you just have to like modify it based on where you stay at, but it's pretty much. These tips can just help overall, okay, so the first thing i'm gon na tell y'all as far as prepping your hair and y'all y'all can get tired of me saying this y'all like lloyd. She tell us that all the time like girl can you talk about something else. No, no, and the first thing i'm gon na say, is drink your water to prep. For your summer, hairstyle drink your water stay hydrated. We the summer we're gon na be sweating a lot. We'Re gon na be sweating a whole lot, so we need to stay hydrated from the inside out from the inside out. We want to hydrate the hair strands from the inside okay. Thank you tracy and thank you for the juice cup juice box and and uh coach rule gave us the popcorn oh tracy, and gave us some is that shrimp or is that a croissant roll? Okay? She gave us some cheese and bread. Okay, we appreciate it cute scott said very hot dry heat humid here in h, town in houston, yes, drink, your water drink, your water. We want to stay hydrated from the inside out. I can't stress this enough because some people deal with dry hair in general and one of the things is you're, not drinking enough water. What'S your water, water, okay, another hair, prep tip! If you run your hair in the summer - and let's just say, i'm just some of the common styles that i normally do a lot more in the summer is our wash and gos and y'all know me. I don't like to call it wash and goes because there's most of the wash and go's i do they're not wash and go it's wash and work like we do the curl definition. So that's a style that you can wear out in the summer. It'S not going to dry out a lot because it's very hot outside it's humid, so we will get a lot of moisture from the air. So it's gon na keep our curls actually hydrated. It'S not gon na dry out a lot versus in the winter time when we have the cold dry. Air is drying our hair out, but in the summertime it's actually the opposite here in this area and again, depending on your area, you you just modify it so wash and go's, or what what i like to call them is the curl definition service is a great Style to wear during the summer um you can actually sweat in that hairstyle. You can work out in that hairstyle. That'S a great go-to hairstyle and you can do that hairstyle once a week every two weeks or, however, you want to manipulate it and y'all know the hairstyle get old. You can pull up into a puff, you know make it do what it do and now, on the flip side, hairstyles that you want to avoid is heat: styling, heat, styling, styles, okay, for example: okay, try to stay away if, if you're a natural, if you're a Hundred percent natural try to stay away from the blowouts and uh and, i would even say stay away from the rod says because, even though that is or you sit up on the hood it dry and it's curly, sometimes they start to look a little poofy and People don't like it, but if that's your prerogative and you like the poofy, look by all means going with the rod set, but i just say: oh y'all, over there eating okay, i just say stay away from the heat styles you want to. You want to incorporate incorporate more of the wet styling styles and when i mean wet styling, i mean like your two strand twists that can be done on wet hair, your wash and go's your um flat twists. Some of those wet sets coils. You can do finger coils the finger coils or you can do them with the comb. Coils they're perfect for the summer bit perfect and you can sweat in them and your roots can get puffy and ain't. Nobody gon na be able to find out because it's all curly, it's all working in with the flow. So we have a question or a comment. Queen heart said used to assume braided up. Dudes were good, but the roots lift easy. If you sweat a lot, it'd be a waste of money. Yes you're right, and i asked you what's going to get into that: braids braided updos are a good style for the summer and yes, if you sweat a lot, they will live or they might not. Last as long, but what i'm going to say well i'ma say as the as the kit bet on that queen heart is also make sure you are time to braid it up do down. If you get ready to light, let's say work out and then you're going to be sweating a lot, so you got to look cotton bandana! You can wear just to kind of absorb some of the sweat. Remember we're not wearing cotton. I mean we're not wearing um. Silk when we're working out we want to - and we even looked it up on, live amazon got the amazon. Send me a check. Let me go, you know what i need to go ahead and put it in my amazon store. Okay, those dry fit bands. You can use those things and then also if your roots live easily and you start to sweat a lot, you can use the coconut, the coconut milk styling foam. I have it on my website. It has more of a firm to hard hold. So when you have these braided up dudes and you starting to notice that your roots are lifting and it's starting to get a little bit of frizz, you can slap that phone on there and tie it down. Let it air dry, it will take you a blow. Dryer and it's going to help get rid of some of the frizz and make it look more nice and fresh okay, there's just a gem, a shameless plug about the coconut milk foam and that the mantra all shooks coach haru got pizza and cookies. Let me get that yeah. Let me get that oh y'all eating eating y'all eating eating out here. Okay, all right tracy ann said, i'm not sure a ride set is for me yeah yeah yeah, i don't know about the ride, said tracy in especially maybe not for the summer yeah, it's probably not for the summer occasion. Thank you. She said slow growth or no growth, compromised edges, consider the rosemary, stimulating line. Okay. Thank you. Acacia, for dropping that link. Okay, uh, queen heart, has a question. She said what about the bang girls? Is it any hope you mean like if you have bangs in on your hair, yeah, there's hope for those who have bangs i'm trying to figure out what your question is, though, like what kind of oh you mean what kind of style you can get with bangs? Let me think on that i'm gon na circle back around i'm gon na circle background. Let me think on that the dead demolisher said how long do a wash and go typically last. I never had a wash and go before typically about a week about a week before you have to refresh it, but you can really stretch it out to two weeks because you can wear it into a puff like i will sit there and wear a puff for, Like another week or week and a half or like half a week so about a week before you have to refresh your or wash it and do it all over again wash and go. I'M gon na just be honest with you, the the women who wear wash and goes a lot and able to benefit on the actual wash and go if some of those like my nieces, they have more of a looser curl pattern, so my sister can wash their Hair while they in the shower slap, some phone on it brush it through and then curls pop, and she don't have to do a whole lot of uh wrangler of the curls and all that day curls is, you know loose and their hair is more softer. Sometimes those with the thicker hair we have to put in more of the work. Okay. Now me, i can do a wash and go in about 30 minutes. Okay, that's just me because i got my i'm a professional okay. Some of y'all might not be a professional, but you still might got your wash and go down to a science, but if you're kind of new to the game, it can seem like it's a lot of work. You'Re, like this is a lot of work and i could have two string twisting my hair. That'S all also an option as well, but if you're quick with it most most of my clients who have that pattern where they just used to wear wash and goes, and it's soft for looser, they do about once a week and they were to wash and go So, thank you for that question that that demolisher cute scott said got on got one on right now. Just finished hair oil and massage all right, q, scott, you be wearing it all out this plan. You just got done with your workout okay, so she did the hair oil and massage tracy and i'm going to try twist for the summer. I don't want all the heat in my hair exactly because, when you're wearing heat styles and these uh summer and when child, if you're, 100 natural once you sweat and then start puffing up, you don't want to keep applying heat to your hair. Because then you're going to damage your curls you're going to damage your curls so try to stay away from straightening your hair. If you just so happen that you want to have your hair straight child slap on the wig, i know it's going to be hot, but if you just feel like you just want to wear it straight slap on a wig child, get you some set it off. Braids and slap on that good old weed, but just know if you blow it out it ain't gon na last ain't gon na last long, not here in north carolina, okay, the dead demolisher said, question question: how do i maintain wash and go at night? So you will maintain a wash and go at night the same way you would maintain a twist out. So i think i did it one time on my live, how i showed y'all how you can do like a mini ponytails to keep it stretched out at night. You can do like one two, three four, like many ponytails, just to kind of like keep it stretched out at night, so it won't smush, and this really kind of applies for people who might who hair is not like really really long. As y'all see. My hair is growing, but it's not like all the way down. My back, so i always give that technique for those who might have their hair length might be like either a little bit longer a little bit shorter than mine, just kind of keep it stretched out. If, if you got that, hang time, though, and when you wear your washer going, it hangs all the way down here, then you can do the pineapple method and basically the pineapple method is like pulling all your hair up like this, with a scarf like bunch. All your curls up and then tie your scarf around here and then put a bonnet on it and in that way it just kind of like. Oh, this is actually kind of cute. I like how i lift that up yeah i, like that, a little bit okay, i kind of like that: okay, okay, okay, but um you just like just pull it all the way up and just clump your curls, then you get up in the morning. You just take it down, you fluff it out, and you keep going now. We'Ll say if your wash and go is looking a little dry and crusty in the morning. If it's looking dry and crusty in the morning, you can revive it by getting in the shower. Not wearing a shower cap, letting that steam and stuff get on your curls and maybe apply just a little bit of foam just to kind of get the curls back popping and rejuvenating oh y'all y'all. Coming with the questions tonight. This must have been a good topic for y'all, so yes, the debt demolisher. Thank you for that question and occasionally just drop the link for the coconut milk. Styling foam go ahead and get that coconut milk. Styling foam also um. If i'm, if i remember the coconut milk stylophone, actually has anti-humidity uh agents in it. So if you're concerned with oh, it's gon na frizz that coconut milk foam has the anti-humidity um properties in it just another gym that demolisher said my hair is too thick. So never mind i mean you can just try it one time like if you're just trying to give your you know what that actually might be a good thing for you to try sophia when you take out them uh. When you take out your passion twist and you just want to give your hair a break, maybe try it maybe try it one time just to kind of see how it how it go. Maybe wear it for a couple days and you might like lisa. That'S not my ministry, okay, but at least try it one time and there'll just be some just to give your hair a break because y'all know. I said, as we talk about summer hairstyles when y'all be jumping from hairstyle to hairstyle, i'm over here trying to get y'all edges together, so don't be taking out crochets and then the next day you're putting something else. Okay, we i'm trying to save the edges. I care about your edges. Even if you don't i care about your edges, so i shouldn't care about your edges more because the edges ain't sitting on my head care about your edges, care about the health of your hair, make sure you're still taking care of your hair and i'm going to Say it is while i'm on the topic sidebar, if you don't take care of your hair when your natural hair is out like if you don't have a regimen, and you don't take care of your hair when it's out, we need to rethink putting in a protective Style now some of y'all ain't want to hear that y'all want to hear that lisa bond won't. Do that until my you still had to make you still had to take care of your hair when it's in that protective style, you might have to moisturize your scalp. You might have to moisturize the the uh yeah yeah you might have to. You got to tie that protective style down. Even though you got box braids and you still got to use a scarf. If your edges are compromised, you might not need to be putting in no box braids. I i'm just saying i'm just saying: take get your hair healthy because, like i always say, if your hair is already unhealthy and you put in a protective style, what are we protecting? Somebody got ta tell you, somebody got to tell you what what are we protecting? I'M waiting says we ain't protecting nothing, you need to do nothing but make it worse so make sure your hair is healthy and make sure you have a whole regimen where you taking care of your hair and what i mean taking care of your hair. You need to be tying it up. Every night, oiling your scalp doing what you need to be doing. Okay, so i just had. I was on tangent on that, but i just had to put that out there, because people don't care about healthy hair like how i care about it. I became i feel like sometimes i care too much and even my head. I black girl, uh-uh, okay, so cute scott said the dry fit wrap. Okay, cute scott! That'S what you was talking about! All right, coach, ruth, say no heat. For me. Only a quick draw all right. Queen heart. She got a question: do you need to increase moisturization in the summer to combat extended time in the sun and heat? That is a good question. That is a good question. I will say if you're going to be in the heat for extended period of time, you want to use products that have like some type of uv protection is going to actually protect your hair because the sun is can be. We have to you think about it. When we are outside, we wear shades to protect our eyes. We wear sunscreen. So what are we putting on our hair? You want to use products that have some kind of uv protection in it and you might ask lisa what kind of products have you be uv protection? Well, i'm glad you asked, even though you didn't actually probably was asking in your head. I have a product on my website called, and i actually need to put that back up there. I have two products. I have a s3 spray and an s3 serum both of these products have the uv protection that you need for you for your hair y'all see. I use the s3 spray as a heat protectant. When i do my blowouts, i use it as a shine spray as a finisher. So when my clients come and i spray their hair, that's why i be spraying on their hair. Don'T even know that they get in the 201 they're getting shine and again some kind of uv protection. So if you're a type of person you maybe work out in the heat or you're just out in the heat, a lot in the summertime say you about to go on vacation, you about to go to jamaica, mom, go on okay! You and you know how that sun be out there beaming. You can take some of that to spray on your hair for that kind of uv protection, but that was an awesome question queen heart. Thank you for answering that um acacia said my always flatten this drink, but i find it easier to maneuver in the mornings. Now. Are you talking about your wash and go um acacia? I know i'm kind of behind, but if you're talking about your wash and go acacia, you can always do that. That trick that i just told you cute scott said: is it possible to do a video of different styles and have a photo visual on the screen? Yes, i need to figure out how i need to i need to figure out, because that's why i really wanted to do. I wish i could pull up like videos and stuff on my phone, so y'all can really see a visual i'ma have to figure out how to connect my zone to my youtube. So we really can do some in because i just feel like with this one. I can tell y'all, but it's kind of hard to like tell y'all, and this really requires that y'all see a visual and photos. So thank you for bringing it up. Q, scott i'm gon na try to see if some kind of way i can figure out how to do that, because she said i'm so confused by butterfly locks versus twist versus the knotless i've. I'Ve only ever had regular braids. Oh now, we'll say the butterfly locks. Just to kind of just give you an explanation: the butterfly locks is like something new and trendy they're like the ones that look very distressed. They try to make them look real natural, so you'll see the lock, but then you'll see like little loops coming out from the lot like a little butterfly and they they're doing that just to make it look more realistic, like it's like it's your locks. The twist is something kind of like sophia has in her hair right now. If y'all watch her channel that demolisher, i sophia now correct me if i'm wrong, those are passion twists right from my understanding and cute scott, the knotless braids. They are just the braids that you see girls, starting with their natural hair and then they feed in the hair. So all the old school braids like how we used to get when we went to the africans you've seen it not like they looped their hair around and we seen the knot. But now you know people don't like the knot, so they started off with they start off braiding with your natural hair and then they feed in the hair. So it looks like cute scott. If i can give you like a visual like plaques like this. That makes i hope that makes sense, it's kind of hard to describe it, but it just looked like plants, so i'm gon na figure out how to get a visual for y'all. So we can just get on the internet and i can really break it down. But thank you for that coach roo said dry and crusty yup um. Oh, i might need that foam. Yes tracy and i would cream heart. You know i'm keeping it moisturized, but a little moisture than or in the summer for me, but i still oh, i know tracy and still, oh now, that she will all she can oil up something. Now she can use it all. She'S gon na be able to like slip and slide workers. Boys should be slipping and falling all at all. Okay, and in case she said she's wearing two strand twists. He has two strand twists, it's another great style for the summer. You can wear them up. You can wear them down, you can kind of pin them to the side and then the good thing about two strand twists. You can wear those for like two to three weeks and then you can untwist it and have a twist out and to me the longer you wear two string twists and then taken out then take them out you'll twist out just be bomb y'all see how my Twist out, look when i take the oh. I took my twist out on mother's day. Curls were high bend, you hear me, curls were popping, so the two strand twist is a great summer style to wear and it's low maintenance. Okay, oh okay, she said beat the tambourine on that. Yes, what was i talking about hold on protect the styles? Okay? So what's the next question? Okay, lisa. I will try when i take these out. Thank you lisa, yes, so so i can't wait to see it because you have nice thick and full hair kosher room. I have two strand twists with my locks now. Yes, if you have locks, if you have lost, please two strand twist your loss. I think that is so pretty because even when you two strand twist your locks, those are two thousand one. You can wear your hair in it to me. It helps your re-twist last longer because you can keep it into strands with and then, when you untwist them your locks have this nice little wavy look and you can even go longer without a re-twist, because it's all blended in together and ain't. Nobody looking at your roots and, first of all, if they're, that close to your scalp and they ain't your boo and looking at your roots, something wrong with them. There'S nothing wrong with it, don't be all up in my head. Okay, so thank you for saying that coach aru, queen heart, i know that's right. Tracy, i'm going to get the complex or something that all be dripping down. They'Ll all be dripped on your neck honey. You be over there greased up queen heart huh, you be over there greased up for somebody. If you greased up for somebody, says: okay, they ain't my business day. My business day in my business coaching room said: wrap your hair up every night, yup and occasionally this gave the plug s3 spray and heat protection, and she put the uh site yeah. Think about it. Y'All, i use the s3 spray before i blow dry, a flat iron, i'm protecting the hair from the heat. So it's the same way. The sun is heat, it's hot, so you get it all in one there's all in one. Oh yes, please do queen lisa. I was just clueless okay, i don't know what you're talking about now. I'D be so behind on the comments, my two strand twists. Oh okay, okay, i got a tip for you. Acacia said her two strand twists always flatten and shrink okay, so i'm gon na give you a game: changer. Okay, it's the same kind of game, changer that i gave about twist out. If your two strand twists always shrink, you can stretch them out at night, meaning you can pull them down and bobby, pin them, okay, pour them down and bobby, pin them and put a bonnet on top of them. You can you can time down with a scarf, but if you're concerned about them always being flat, you can just do a bonnet on top or you can do many ponytails, okay, many ponytails, so you can take some. You can stretch it and you can do like a ponytail just to kind of keep them down when you get up in the morning. Take your ponytails out and when you get in the shower, don't wear a shower cap. It'S going to fluff them back up. It'S going to fluff them back up and revive them. That'S all you have to do so. Hopefully that tip will kind of help you with the them being flat and them strengthened out, because that's a a common issue that i see um the dead demolisher. I tie my head down every night been doing it since i was a kid, especially when i got my first set first, i can't sleep with this on my head. I know that's why i did demolition and that demolition now i'll be seeing you on your read with me. Sometimes i can make it sometimes. I can't that demolishes you make sure you ain't tying them scarves tight cause. I know one morning boy i seen that scarf. I i said i ain't gon na mess with it this morning, a mess with him, but i said she better not be able to tie that scarf tight, okay cause. You know we talked about that. I'M sorry! I had i had to step on your toes, but you know i love you but yeah. That'S nothing, don't be tying your scars too, tight and sofia. I ain't really concerned about you because i see you got edges, but i'm just saying i want to keep the integrity of your edges. Don'T tie this card too. Tight. Okay, don't tie too tight. I know you'll be up in the morning you're reading, but you just make sure you loosen it up before you do the read with me cause. You know i'm gon na be looking. You know i'm gon na be looking okay, but uh just receive that out of love. For see that i love i ain't talking about you, i ain't talking about you, okay, okay. She said it sounds like a class at our retreat. It sure do y'all go ahead and send me a check for this class. Let'S play it, do a different head every day. Oh so is about to be a business trip, i'm about to what we going. I'M about to write this off. I'M about to write this off, you hear me, y'all, probably have me working. So that means we you talking about doing different hair everyday. That means we got ta stay at a minimum for two weeks. After finish doing all these heads - okay, that would be good acacia yep passion twist - is so spongy. I love it yup and also another um type of twist is the spring twist. The spring twist, look more so like natural two strand twists like they come like right here like shoulder length and they're very springy, but not like springing to the point where like a little girl, but it just had the feel of like natural, two strand twists. Okay, i remember the box braid pains, yes, was that jada pinkett off of set it off? Didn'T she have the box braids with the bang or maybe i'll get, or maybe she just had the box braids with the oh. I might have to give me some box. Braids and a bob, oh i'm doing a photo shoot for my birthday and i might have to you know what i'm saying i'm doing like a 90s inspired like i might have to hey. That'S so bad, that's so bad! Lord! We weren't living right. It'S okay! Hey tea will thank you for joining the live. We just talking about summer hair, so you've got any questions, drop them in the chat. Uh patrice said what to put on what to put on the hair to do the two strand twist, so you can use a styling foam or you can use a curling cream, a curling cream either or will work. It just depends on your preference. The styling foam is going to give. You is very lightweight, it's going to give you more body um and it dries quicker. On the other hand, the creams will give you. The creams will still keep your hair, nice and moisturized, but it might take a little bit longer to last, but i mean longer to dry but either or you can you, you can do to use the two strand twists now i will say if your hair is More on a thinner and fine side, i recommend using a curling cream on my website. I have the coconut curling cream, so that is perfect for those clients or those individuals who might have thin to find hair because creams give the appearance that it's thicker. I'M not saying it's gon na make your hair thick, but it gives the appearance that it's thicker. If your hair is already on the thicker side, i say: use the styling foam because it's lightweight it's quicker to dry and if it's thick, we'll need no help. We'Re making it appear to be thick, so i hope that answered your question and also i have the coconut milk styling foam or either the honey almond. The honey almond stellar foam does has a very soft hold um, it's not going to be hard, but the coconut milk, as y'all know it has a hard to firm hold. Now i'm gon na just give y'all a disclaimer. If you use too much of the coconut milk foam, it's gon na feel, like you just put that old school spritz up in your hair, it's gon na feel brick hard. Okay, don't don't be alarmed, don't trip because the first time i use it, i was like. Oh, my gosh, i'm about to fry this client's hair off because i had a rod set. All you need to do is get some oil on your hands or spray, some oil sheen or something estuary spray. It'S gon na soften it back up, so don't be alarmed. If you twist it and you slip on the dryer like lisa, my hair is hard. It'S probably because you use a little bit too much, but just get a little bit of oil on your hands and rub it through and it's going to soften it back up and take that cast off, but just want to put a disclaimer out there: okay, okay Um aura, okay, boo can't be up in my roots, nah nah can't build up in your roots. Well, let me loosen cute scott yeah go ahead and loosen that up you say: i'm talking about i'd, be caring about y'all edges. More than y'all do y'all care about your ashes. Y'All do not care, but get that rosemary spray. Oh did that demolition say i receive it. I'M hollering! I need to be delivered. Yes, then demolisher, you need to be deliberate, but it's all good. Okay. She said. I love crochet spring twists in a short bob. Yes, the crochet, the crochet spring twist is another great summer style and you can get that style wet if you're going. I actually just did a client she's going to costa rica. We did the crochet spring twist and i told her she can get them wet and it's still gon na last, okay, tracy ann said, tie it loosely. So so okay t will say. Thank you. I have box braids in now. Okay, good good, now make sure t t. Will you got the box braids and you tie your uh. You tie your hair down at night and you're, keeping your scalp moisturized, meaning drinking your water or you can spray some of that rosemary on it cute scott. I planned one myself lisa, my daughter does one every year for her b day, so i implemented this year for myself. Yes, i don't even know what i'm saying yes for, because i'm so behind on the comments i planned one for myself. What was we talking about? What are we talking about braids, so we're talking about vacation? I'M sorry, cute scott! I i don't forgot. Let me go back up. What are we talking about? What she's talking about she playing one for herself? I am so sorry all right. Okay, she said i'm going to try to curl and cream tonight with my two strand, twists: yep, try the curling cream and, i will say the curling or the photo shoot. Oh, the photo shoot: okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, sorry, scott! Yes, playing one a photo shoot for your birthday and y'all. This is actually something you said. Your daughter does want every year for her birthday, yes, start doing it every year year, q, scott - and this is something that i actually started when i turned 30, because the photographers who i work with, which is also my clients, shout out to martha smith photography if Y'All seen the video, the professional video shoot and the professional client testimonials. They do all my videography. All my professional photo shoots. If you go on my instagram, you see all my photo shoots. They do does a phenomenal job on all my photos. I'Ve been working with them just as long as i've been in business, but they they got me into that. My when i turned 30 i did a 30th birth, uh, 30th birthday shoot and so each year, then, why are you going to do something? Like i mean? I just did it for 30.; it was a milestone, i'm like nah, you should do it every year. She said i just think you'll be this nice. Just to see like how you grow. You know, just you know. I just think it'd just be good for like memory, so now i've been doing it every year, and so this year since i turned 35, it's kind of it's kind of like a little milestone. You know what i'm saying: i'm looking 35. You know what i'm saying. I'M blessed i'm blessed, so i said i want to take it back. I want to do like 90s, like because 90s was like a vibe. You know what i'm saying it was a five, even though in 92 honey girl, you in kindergarten, you, a girl, you're a baby over there, singing songs like you, grow girl grown anyway. That was a major sidebar, but yes, cute scott. I hope your photo shoot turned out delightful acacia, i'm gon na try, okay. I already said that. Okay, thanks patricia. Okay, thanks love, your love! Thank you for uh joining patrice. What'S the attention level for soft locks, if anyone knows oh. Thank you. Thank you t. Thank you t now. I'Ma say this: if your edges ain't up to paul, if your hair is standing weakening, it ain't, nothing to pause, go ahead and head on out on those soft locks. Okay, go ahead head on out; okay, now, i'm just playing, but not really not playing um, with the way how these girls doing these soft locks. Now, from my understanding, they're doing all that rapping, sometimes it can be a lot of tension and they when they get the wrapping it get the twisting at the root, and you see some girls holding the root, so it won't twist. But now then, i got so fancy with the soft locks that they're actually crocheting them in now. So what they'll do is they'll braid, your natural hair down and then they'll crochet, the extension lock on your hair and to me that's a little bit better than sitting there and wrapping it, because when they get to wrapping it their hair get to tighten it up. And so your edges is compromised, may the eyes be forever in your favor child may the odds being your favor, but just this this is a disclaimer. That'S all tracy and style and phone mates drive styling phone, make it dry faster, but it drives my hair out and then this is another thing: tracy and um you say: jojo yeah, the style phone does draw faster. But if, from my understanding, your hair is kind of on the fine side, that's why the creams were better for you, because it gives you that extra layer and extra moisture, where it don't really dry your hair out and also i have mixed the two. I have mixed when i did two strand twists: i have mixed the foam and the curl cream, so this is another option, either or um. Acacia said: okay, occasionally purchase a style, honey, almond style phone for a soft hole. Thank you in case you're. Putting that in the chat i appreciate you t said i do care about my edges. I know that's right, you better care about your edges, cute scott. I don't normally tie it tight, but when you said that with conviction i felt like tonight, i better check. Yes, yes check, oh i do it all. I have lots of healthy, thick hair amen come on tea with the thick healthy hair, yes, 90s every year should be a milestone. Am i right promise come on now every year should be a milestone if y'all new to my chat. Now, i'm a let me do my introduction. My name is lisa smiles, your natural hair stylist in raleigh north carolina and on this channel we're gon na kiki we're gon na get that word up in you and we're gon na get your hair together. Okay, okay and i'm gon na beat my tambourine, so you're gon na have to cover your ears. I see we got some new people in here tonight, all right, okay, amen! That'S how that's how i'm feeling at this point tracy and yep there. He is a milestone because honey people checking on the body - here's my daddy used to say people are checking out. I'M like dad people checking out when i when he said people checking up out here. It made me think about when you go to a hotel and you check out, he said no people checking on them about this world. I said: whoa wait. Um every year is a milestone if you made it to 2020 come on now. If you survive covey, if you survive that bad relationship, if you survive that raggedy baby daddy, that don't want to pay child support, if you survive that broken relationship, if you survive, even though that braid took out your edges, but your edges is growing back come on Now and all things give thanks all right, i'm done with that for now, but don't let me get stirred up again because when i think about the goodness and we what he has done for me all right, that's all i'm gon na do that's all i'm gon Na do that's all. That'S all. That'S all give me don't get me hyped. Okay, she will say. Oh that's what i thought it's a no faux lock for me. Then thank you yeah. I just want to put it out there, but you said you got thick hair, but he will. I will say, if you're gon na, do it maybe do the crow, maybe do the crochet ones. What won't be as much tension on your hair, all right, tracy and i didn't think them false loss were good for your hair just because of the wrapping, and let me tell you something another thing with them: faux locs. I call them false. Some people call them false locks, but they, i think, they're pronounced faux locs another explained by the full locks they take forever to take down, because if you can't remember how long your hair is you can't you know what box braids, you can kind of see your Natural hair poking out, so you can kind of cut like where you see it and start unraveling, but sometimes with those faux locs. They can take a long time to take down, because if they're wrapping it, you cannot see your natural hair poking out. So you literally have to start all the way from the bottom and now y'all getting out of hand y'all getting ankle. Braids you ain't getting booty braids, no mo you two don't shut me down for saying that, but y'all getting ankle braids ankle. So i mean good god, almighty y'all, so i'm just saying like those can take a long time to take out and now and while we on it, why are we on it? Let me go and now, if you got anchor, braids receive this out of love procedures. I love if your neck ain't strong. If your hair is compromised, you don't need to be having no kind of ankle braid. That is too much and my honest professional opinion is going to fall and it's too much tension on your hair. That hair is heavy y'all. Getting all the way to your ankles y'all, getting it to your knees. Can we just stop at the butt okay? I know some of y'all want to twerk with the braids i used to want. That'S why i used to get my i know, but all the way to your ankles and stuff quit quit quit, because you damaging your hair you're damaging your hair okay. So i'm putting it out there all right so y'all laughing y'all praising him with me: hey man, lisa's intro, should be i'm lisa and i'm gon na beat my tambourine. You hear me just wan na start saying: yes, let's celebrate every year a blessing occasionally said, amen hit the like button. They don't cost you nothing hit that like button all right, coach rue got the drums out, beating it beating it up when the braids are real long, real long. Won'T that cause problems, the application yep it will. It will cause problems. It will cause problems. I'M saying someone braves touch their calf muscles. It'S just getting out of hand. Like tony said, it's a jezebel's spirit, so jezebel spirit, spirit of nastiness, queen heart, said: stop the madness. Please. Yes, you said ankle braids. I had to grab my phone to keep with y'all. Yes, ankle braids ankle ankle, it's just getting out of head, not the neck, ain't, strong and yeah, and i'm gon na say another thing: when we talk about summer hairstyles some of y'all can be getting in the pool getting wet. Let me tell you something: if you plan to get in the pool with your protective style. Let'S say you got box braids, you better have a strong neck. When you get in that pool, because when you get braids wet, they are heavy, they will take your neck. Slam out, okay, they would take your neck slam out. So if you can wear box braids just know when box braids get wet, you better have might need to wear a neck brace in the pool in the ocean. Watch us go on the neck, brace tell them! You don't know my story, you don't know my story, i'm trying to protect my neck, because them things get heavy them things get heavy when they get wet, especially if you're trying to help them over down to your ankle. It'S gon na take your next slam out. You hear me your neck gon na, be so jacked back brains, gon na be on the other part of the ocean and your neck gon na be over there. So you better have a strong neck. If you're trying to get ankle, braids, okay, y'all can't say i don't tell y'all the truth, y'all can't say i don't keep it 1 000 with y'all, so y'all be trying to be out here. Looking cute and think your neck gon na be compromised and your edges gon na be compromised. At the same time can't say i ain't tell you all right, um, oh y'alls! Oh what i miss! Oh, not that not okay, oh y'all, serious braids, really be down to the ankles. Yes, that demolish your wing playing, i like all over their kitty kid um, tracy and sinbad. The comedian said: don't get in the weed chair and get us don't get in the wheelchair and get excited come on now come on come on come on yeah, so so they'd be doing the most now. Yep t said that the marshall - yes ridiculous, that's what i was thinking so so. That'S absolutely absurd to me. Snap crackle pop your neck, your neck, your back about to be all woe out and not from the third leg. It'S gon na be from the water and for them braids. Now some of y'all nasty, some of y'all finished the rest of that song. The lord is still working with you. The lord is still working with you, but it's okay, we're all been there. Some of y'all got the twerking off of that cause. I said yo my name, my back. You need deliverance. You need deliverance. Okay, all right! Oh, my goodness! That'S crazy! Yup michelle is that demolisher um you're gon na you're gon na news, you're gon na use a net break or you're gon na use a net brace. Okay y'all is over there kiki. They are wearing braids to the ankles and in in y2, and let me tell you something: y'all: they want them, braids all the way to their ankles them. And to me i don't like germs, i don't like germs. So when the the 19 happened y'all when the 19 had oh, i got 14 people up here watching my life. I don't think i ever had that many people and i got 13 likes so somebody's over there watching in the background. But i appreciate you who, for all the 14 people who watch and i preach? Oh it's a 15. god bless y'all for watching this live or tuning in to kiki with me little lisa, but i'm going to say about the brain when that 19 came out. I remember i had i tried: i had missed a little booty braid as yo pass my booty trying to be grown. I was so concerned about that in 19. Getting on my braids, don't y'all laugh at me. When i got home i was lights all my braids y'all, don't y'all judge me cuz, i'm out here swinging and i'm thinking like that 19 were heavy. I said, oh no, i got home got that light saw. I was spraying them braids. My friends like i was brandon braids and you in new york. I spray them braid, no cuz, no, no spreading braid. That was my right one, a little bit lights. All ain't harm. Nobody ain't hard. Nobody heard my hair. I i like. Yes, you like! Yes, i did, i like saw them braid, i, like all them braids play with it, play with it. Now i wouldn't recommend it. You know now. Let me go ahead and give a disclaimer, because somebody gon na say lisa talk. No, i ain't telling you life's all your braids. Okay, don't lice all your braids, don't don't do it, don't do it. I didn't lights all my scalp, but the hair that was hanging all that. That was hanging. Oh you, better believe. Cuz i got ta get like saw and all doing it, i'm not saying to do that. So that's the disclaimer do not lie, saw your brains, but you asked the lord for conviction on that. You asked the lord okay, and so i did that for me. Then y'all don't go, do that, don't don't go lifestyle, no braids, all right! And yes, i know just a sidebar uh trying to mimic these rappers. They are actually wearing a length for a shoe and then take them out. Yes, you're right because these rappers and these entertain their entertainers they're, they're rappers, so yeah they want to do these extreme things and for all we know it could be a wig. It could be a box. Braid wig. You know they got. You can get all kind of wigs now you can get box braid with faux loc, brick uh wig. You can do all of that cute scott said she warned you trying to be cute. It'S going to sprain your neck. It'S your leg! Uh, don't strain! Don'T start singing?
