Natural Hair Challenge - 30 Days, 30 Updos: Day 16

Now i'm going to start just prepping, my hair on the sides and the back, because today i'm going to be pushing my hair forward from the back okay. So what i do is i use my daily spritz and now because i'm going to be pushing my hair forward, i'm just going to be concentrating mostly on putting the spits on the back of my hair. So i'm going to try and turn around and show you how i do this okay. So i put a bit more on the sides here and just a little bit here. So i haven't touched this front part of my hair, because that's the part that i'm going to make hang so i smooth in my spritz just move it in. I use this brush to just help smooth the edges down so you'll notice that i haven't touched that right like the front part just a bit on the sides and the back now i use some of my organic root. Stimulator gel put that in start putting that on my hair put some on my sides: sorry about the camera angles, my camera bugged out last week, so i've had to take it in for fixing. So i'm just using my webcam at the moment. So it's quite hard to sort of show you everything clearly, okay, now that the hair is still damp, but the gel is worked in. I brush my hair again now, you'll notice that i only brush maybe about up to about halfway up my length. I don't brush completely because that way, i'm gon na be completely brushing my little curls out, which isn't the look that i'm going for today. Okay, so now i use this. This is my trusted: um old, pantyhose tights, whatever stockings that you want to call it. I'Ve cut it into about an arm's length, and this is god's end. This way, i don't do my puffs as tight as like. If i have a fixed headband and this way i can actually adjust how tight it goes. So i start from the back because i'm going to be pushing my hair forward, so it's basically the reverse of what i did for the high puff. So i tie it like this and then now, instead of pushing it backwards, i push it forwards. Push my hair forward push it up the sides a bit tighten in the front and keep going push the back push it forward. Tighten it a bit so now, depending on how short or long your hair is you'll, be able to judge um whether some of the hair at the back is coming out. So i'm going to stop here and just fix that a bit and then do a double knot like that fluff it forward and then now i'm going to take the same scarf that i use when i wrap my hair at night. It'S a just plain old, satin scarf. You can use a silk scarf for this as well um, depending on the width. You can fold it in half. You basically just need enough material to cover the part that you want to flatten. So what i do is tilt my head a bit and then make sure that the scarf is covering this bit, that i want to get flattened and then, as i've done before. I just tie the scarf in the front now, rather than the back like when you do a high puff a normal high puff and then wrap it around the back edge. So now i usually leave my scarf on to flatten my hair for about 10 minutes or so, and this is when i go into my makeup and finish getting here so now, i'm back and i have finished getting my makeup done and getting dressed. So now i'm just going to undo the scarf. I give it one final tug before i completely remove it. Okay, so now you can see that my hair has been flattened and, as you can see, i still have my tights sort of hanging in the um in the front. So now this is completely up to you. What you want to do from here, if you want to just sort of tuck in the um, the leftover tights or if you're tighter or that short, then maybe nothing is sort of showing. So i might do that, but i'm just looking now what i like to do, sometimes, as i showed in the previous video is - i use detachable bra, straps um. I love these because you can adjust them with the little um hooks um, those sort of bra, adjusters and um. So what i do, as i showed you in the previous video, but in case you didn't watch that i basically take the bra, strap and you'll see that the hooks, oh upside down, sorry you'll, see that the hooks on either side basically form quite a nice sort Of loop, if you use the one hook and slot it into that little hole on the other side, so basically what i do after i've done. This, sometimes is just to give it a sort of headband kind of look. Um is i tie it a loop, the hook into the little slot there created by the other side and, as i did with my tights, i just sort of push it up slowly. Make sure that the hooks don't get into your hair and start pulling your actual hair, so i do that and now i'm just going to hold it in place and remove the tights push my hair forward. So what i'm gon na do is my hair. Doesn'T hang naturally so just to sort of add a bit of hang to the front. I'M going to section a bit of my hair say just about that much and i pull it down and i use these black pins and i just pin the hair in the front the one on that side. Do it on the opposite side just to have it hang a bit, and now i'm going to just sort of fluff it out to kind of like mix it in with the rest of my hair. So you can add as many pins as you want really and then, if your hair is still too short to kind of pull this look off, you can always use one of these pins or several of these pins to pin the back of your hair here. If it's not reaching the bra strap or the tight headband that you've just made, so i'm pretty happy with this, pull this down a bit more cover that up. Okay, and that's it! That'S how i do a front angled puff thanks for watching
