The tutorial should be smothering my hair with product to get it to lay down, because that's what i'm doing, okay, we are back from the beauty supply store. Let me show you all the couple of things that i got that i just kind of like needed to have you know so for this ponytail. I got this now. This is like a whole little like sew-in situation. We'Re not going to use this frontal situation. I really just wanted the bundle, so i'm probably going to throw this in the trash, because, honestly, this frontal does not look good and just use the bundles 14, 16 and 18, and this is synthetic hair. This is only like 35, but it was really all that they had for a longer kind of like curly bundles, because i was thinking a curly ponytail was going to do it and then i picked up a baby of the gorilla snot. You know just for the edges and i picked up some murray's beeswax to really like mold the hair because y'all jail. I don't know it just doesn't do it for me, so i went with murray's, but i also saw - and this is like the classic. This is what the girls be using when they do those slip back ponytails, but i also saw this iso plus dreadlock and twist molding cream, and the only reason that i got this was because the ingredients were similar to murray's beeswax. So what i'm going to do now is actually shampoo and condition my hair to get it prep for this particular style, i'm going to use some bread beauty supply. This is a black on brand that is sold at sephora and i will be using their hair wash and hair mask, so i'm going gon na do that and then i'll be back after that. To finish this whole little process, hair is cleansed and a little update on the bread beauty supply. I'Ve used them before, but it's been over a year, totally forgot why i hadn't used them in a while, and this is no shade to the brand, because i actually do like some of the other products in the brand. But in terms of the shampoo, especially i'm not the hugest fan, it is slightly drying on the hair like stripping on the hair, and i don't necessarily like that. They are also very heavily scented and i think it's the scent that really throws me off the most because it's like bakery scent. So it's like cakes and pies and all the things so yes, anyways, i'm gon na go ahead and use some leave-in conditioner legit. I'M almost out this is pattern, beauty, leave-in, there's only oh my gosh. I don't even know if there's enough to go all the way around and check out the new bruise, yes, okay, but we're going to put on some of this seriously where's the rest of it. I guess i guess i don't need a whole lot. Anyways get this last little bit about here empty, throw that in the trash, and now you can really see where i cut my hair you'll see how short this is. Look i cut all of this. So true. My top okay for my heat protectant, because i am definitely going to blow out my hair if you have kinkier texture, hair, thicker hair when you're doing any style that slick any style that's pulling on your hair, it would be important to stretch your hair. You can blow it out and braid it whatever you need to do but stretch the hair. What happens with our hair is that when it dries it expands. So if i wrap my hair up wet, what's going to happen is as it dries it's going to get tighter and tighter and it can start to break wherever it's wrapped, so basically at the base of the ponytail. So i always stretch it out first. Another thing that typically happens with me is: i have low porosity hair, so what happens is if i put my hair in a ponytail or if i compress it while it is wet, it never dries, and i start to get like this moldy itchy scalp situation, to Prevent all of the horrible things from happening, i'm just gon na go ahead and blow out my hair. I did finally invest in a dyson and it i got it with all of the like attachments. So i'm gon na go ahead and use this one. So i don't have to use another tool and i will be using the uncle funky starter maximum thermal protection primer almost out of this too, because i only use it and i use it any time i use heat. It doesn't matter if it is the blow dryer. Whatever anytime i use heat, this is what i use. I didn't detangle, while the conditioner was in it, so it should be. Okay, dusty's ends real quick, good, i'm good for cutting some hair baby good for it just get that little bit off. That looks so much better same thing with this side we're just gon na you can kind of see, but you i feel like you can always kind of tell so. I'M gon na take this off and just make sure that my scalp is dry up me and this girl girls, you can see the length difference in the front alive like right here. It just is what it is, because your girl cut it. This i've been kind of like dusting my ends lately myself and i like it: oh yeah, so that part okay, so i think i'm going to do a side part i'm going to try to get some longer lengths of hair to cover this up so that it's Not as thick, i was going to do a middle part, but i always do a middle part, and i want to give the middle of my head like a break. I am going to take a bit of this beeswax and put it on this part. Just to kind of like secure it into place so that it won't move around too too much as i'm working with the rest of my head. Look at that. If i put it on my part, my part will literally disappear. I got ta get that off now. I'M actually going to work in sections, so i'm gon na put this out of the way. So when i do slick back ponytails, i use rubber bands and that's what i'm going to use today. I just stick to the regular black rubber bands, because i do my hair in sections. Sometimes i use 10, sometimes i'll, like double them up, but i do my hair in sections so that i can get it the slickest as possible. So i'm going to start off with basically the base of the ponytail, which will kind of be like the bottom half of my hair comb. It into position i'll use the beeswax closer to the front of my hair, but i think i'm gon na start off with this. I'M gon na melt it in my hands. This smells so good and i'm going to start with it just like as the base. If i don't like this, i might end up mixing the products, but i'm also going to put it on the inside like throughout the hair, because what this does is it weighs all the hair down, basically to where it will lay in that ponytail and make it Like sleeker, you know a hair like mine, my hair will revert in a second, it will fluff in a second. So basically, i'm coating my hair with product so that it's too heavy to revert like the only way that it will be able to come out of this style is, if i shampoo it and then again we're gon na comb the product through, because that will get Coated on those strands, it smells so good. Now, i'm gon na use some of this beeswax look at it. Look at how black it is on the edges. Okay, now after you've combed it through get you a brush honey and then that's when you're gon na smooth. It rubber band and pick a spot for the pony, i'm gon na do it kind of low and we're gon na rubber band this okay, that's a comfortable ponytail, very comfortable! Now for this, i'm gon na break this section up, because this is a lot of hair. The smaller sections, the longer it's going to last it might take a little bit more work, but i can guarantee you it's going to be worth it iso, plus and i'm using hefty amounts of product to really lay my hair down, keep it laid down and i'm Cut most of the product is at the base like at the top smooth it on through and with these sections right here it gets a little bit easier. I'M gon na use some beeswax on top of that, just at the top and i'll come back. I'M gon na repeat this this process until i finish this half of the head and then i'll come back and we'll do the front and you know the back is done, got a nice base. It'S not tight see. My hair is still full and fluffy. So, even if you wanted to wear your hair out, you definitely could i'm not, but you know you could you could so i'm going to work with the most difficult side first, which is going to be? This is just extra product which is going to be this side because it's the thickest, so we are going to work in small sections. Okay, keep it small, i'm telling you it's! It'S not only going to save you time, but it just makes the process easier. Now, if your hair is thinner, do what you want like you, you might not have to go through all of this, but mine isn't so your girl. She has to take a lot of steps to do slick ponytails, so all right. So this is how much i'm working with this is not a large section of hair at all. I'M still going to use some of this iso plus, and i only like the way that this feels, but i think i'm just kind of obsessed with the smell. It reminds me of like a product i feel like my mom or something used to use, but you can see like it doesn't have a whole lot of holes, so we're going to go in this murray's bed, not staying my countertops. I know that i'm going to use some murrays really get that at the top. Look. If it don't look like that, you ain't doing it right and then we're going to smooth it through combing it through just really like coats. The actual strands of your hair versus just having it sit on top and it looks better because the product isn't all like caked up and then, when you brush it, it's really going to give it that smooth effect. Look at that look, so this will help smooth out this kind of like thick patch of hair in the front, because i am doing a side part and not a middle, and then, when you lay oh delay, you just brush it down. It'Ll kind of stay into place, but y'all know that rubber band look at that. It'S gon na. Do it all right, y'all the process is almost complete. It'S all, yellow. Okay, is this in this, so these are basically how small i've been doing. The sections in the front, so i'm going to start off with some of the iso plus and for this, like the hair in the very front, especially on this side, we're going to coat basically the whole thing, because not that much hair is going into the ponytail. So i need all of this to be kind of stiff on top of that that iso plus is really moisturizing for sure. So if my hair likes it, i can, i can feel it so i might be using it again, but we're going to do some beeswax. Also because the beeswax does it has the hold like it does. I don't see my hair reverting back with these two products, but i do think that my edges are gon na, give me hell, but we're gon na pray about it. Okay, so let's just get this product on the hair and then let me comb it through it. Just glides right on through coming through, i'm gon na put it on the ends of this too. So it's looking real stiff like so like this. In the end, i'm gon na comb it down first and now we're going to add some rubber bands to that hair. It'S honestly just to hold down that layer. This area is going to be really really simple. I'M only going to break this one up into two because it's not like a whole lot of hair right here, iso plus, but this time we're doing it throughout the entire section. So it's it and comb it through and then some beeswax comb it through, and i can honestly comb through this entire section, because she's, small or whatever so the base of the ponytail is done. No, the ponytail is not tight, but i am going to go ahead and use some of this gorilla snot on the edges and then we're going to tie it down with some of this wrap it. The tutorial should be smothering my hair with product to get it to lay down, because that's what i'm doing it's just suffocating it and we back. I let the camera charge a little bit and wrapped up my edges so that they could have some time to sit. I don't have that much time left, though, because i actually have somewhere to be so. What i'm going to do is go ahead and braid this one regular braid break this up into three and then just braid it down turn around, so i can try to braid it as seamlessly as possible because my hair is thick. So this little braid is gon na be fit okay. Now, once i get pretty much to the end, i'm gon na rubber band it boom. I got a fat chunky braid that don't move ooh, i'm gon na take the 18 inch bundle first and use that one at the bottom and then build up to the 16. i'm actually, this bundle is kind of thin. So i am going to y'all see it's really thin, so i'm gon na double it instead of keeping it that thing, because that is just too thin. Okay, so i'm starting at the bottom rubber band. I was gon na pin it with the bobby pin, but i think i can rub in this and it'll be fine and then we're just going to wrap when you get to the end, open, bobby, pin and just pin it. I will pin this going upward like into the braid, and it should stay it's going to be like a little tangle from the wrapping so because the hair is like being wrapped around itself, and it's long so just kind of you know just just detangle. It kind of pull it apart. I'M gon na comb through this anyways. This is gon na, be a really really long ponytail. So they have this one. It'S rolled over three times: i'm gon na leave it like this because, again the track, suspend so and it'll make it easier for me to wrap it anyways and pin it. So i'm gon na pin this in to my hair and we're gon na wrap and as i wrap i'm just scooting like a little bit closer to the top, i could have definitely went shorter because she long she long long, but i might cut it a little Bit at the very very ends because yeah she is really long, pin that into the base of the ponytail, i'm going to pin it downward so that i don't have any hairpins like up against my scalp and then i'm just gon na take some of the hair From the back comb, it out a little put a little bit of this iso plus or the beeswax whatever either one on it, just to stiffen it out a little bit and then wrap it around the base of the pony. Let'S cut some of this list, i'm going to cut some of this at the bottom, using my same sheers, i'm cutting it at an angle and then i am going to take a comb and just kind of like fluff it, especially at the top it'll get nicer Over time, anyways because it's curly hair, so it'll start to you, know frizz up and it's synthetic, so it'll start looking real real after about two days. What is curly hair with all the frizzy ends, asmr way to bliss, never stressed. I really. I really should have named this recreating my wedding hairstyle, like i really really should have named it. Then let's go see what nick thinks, what it look like, what hairstyle look like with hairstyles yeah, when, whatever i wanted period, did you call my hair? The squirrel? I mean don't got ta, look like a squirrel. I think whatever for the final reveal, because your girl is dressed really didn't, do much to be honest with you, but it's my made in america scarf from the festival, fluff and boom back home in the loop that'll. Give it some more volume. I hope that you guys enjoyed this video like the tutorial.
