*THIS VIDEO WAS SPONSORED BY CANTU BEAUTY
Hey everyone welcome back! So if you want to see how I take my hair from the clip on the left to the one on the right, please keep watching this. Video has been so highly requested, so I always thought up by watching already Co washed, my hair, but I like to cool wash I'm not using a shampoo, because I just used the shampoo once a month. I don't like washing my hair with a shampoo all the time I could wash once every week to once every two weeks, depending on the amount of buildup that I have and I go in with the conditioner, this bad boy here actually started. My love like I started my relationship with cancer, just for reference like whenever I shampoo. This is a shampoo that I use, but then the ring stop conditioner started my love for can two products like I couldn't get my hands on and jockeys, and I kept looking and looking. I was like. Let me just try this once as I keep seeing it everywhere, and that was how I went back and I kept on buying and buying things from panto all the time and when it comes to skincare, I'm not skincare haircare. I tend to do the same thing that I'll do with skin kit. If I find a brand that works, I just stick to it. So that's what I have done so I mostly use counter products, but I use a couple of things that are not country products. As well, you guys would see so I'm just patting my hair here and now just create a very nice sharp, clean parting, okay, and once I have the pattern that I want, I go in with a living conditioner and I just used to moisturize my hair lightly Before I go in with my wrapping lotion, I'll show you guys that in a minute, so I use about this much and I walk it into my hair. Okay, my edges are doing a lot better. You guys can see like this was one of the reasons why I cut my hair, but everything is going out nicely now, thank God. So this is the rapid lotion that I use is quite popular here on YouTube and I guess it from the salon where I get my hair cut. I take about three pumps and then I apply this all over my hair. I love this especially for when I have started like having new growth. This is going to slick everything back and when I take this thing that I'm going to use now, this is going to help my edges lay flat and also help help the hair at the back of my hair hair lay flat. So when I take this out in the morning, you guys are going to see that my hair is going to look really really flat. I don't cover the top. I just wrap the front and back so I'm gon na take the thing. I don't know what this is cool. That'S what I'm calling it thing by. I got it from this hairstyle and I'm gon na leave the name of my hair salon in the description box. As well as well as the list of everything that I have used, I'm going to go in with this country product here, and this is just going to help protect for heat damage. I'M going to use a heat protector, but I like to start out with this. Just add some moisture and to create like like the first layer of protection from heat, so I go in with this just about this much. I don't use too much so I just distributing on my pants and then work it into my hair, like really gently guys for anyone who's confused everything that I'm doing in this video now is not something that I don't need any pieces. It'S really something that I do once a week or once every two weeks. I just wanted to clear that up before some people come and say: oh, this is too much or too much products like all. I do like to star my hair on a daily basis. Is just moisturize and then maybe curled it if the curls have fallen, but I don't do all of this. This is. I just wanted to show you guys the whole process from beginning to end, so I'm just creating my patty again, because I sleep like I'm fighting and I always do the patting by the time I wake up so once I've patted I'm coming out again and what I would do after this now is to go in with a heat protector. I'Ll show you guys that in a second, not minute, okay, so this is what it is. I use I just spray this all over my hair to protect from meat. I really like this one, because he reminds me a lot of the Chi heat protector that I used to use years back. I try the one from Juarez that one made my hair so greasy and weed my hair down. So I was so happy when I found this. I was looking for this actually, but I ended up finding it at a store called in video beauty. I'M going stuff more about like where I found these things in case anybody's wondering it to get like the stuff that I've used but yeah. Basically, I found it at in review and that I really really love to wear that heat protector feels and it protects my hair, so I'm calling with a medium sized flat iron. Ideally, if you have the very small ones that will help you create very tight, tight curls, but I don't have those I'd price it at only 22,000. I was like if it was she waits for me. I'M coming. Let me manage the one I have you know. So once I'm done curling - and I have the curls that I have what I'll do is - are going with a Denman brush and I'm using this to combat the bumps that I have on the sides and at the back fist just to make them leave flatter. And then, once I'm done, comping them out, I'm going to go in with my fingers and it come and I'm going to use this to start like softening the car so start loosening them up and I'll just keep playing around with it till I have a shape That I am okay with, so that's what I'm doing right now and I try not to run my fingers through it too much so that I don't lose the course completely. I just keep messing things around till. I have a shape that I really like. So this is a shape that I like for this video now, so the next thing that I'll do normally outside this now after just making everything look good, is so go in with something for my edges. I like to use this, I'm styling wax by karekare and I'm just going to use this on my edges, and this is just going to help everything go back without giving it down whoo edge control. Look, you know so everything is in place, I'm not flying around, but then it's not stiff and super like gel. I don't know I don't know how to explain it, but it holds everything in place, but it doesn't feel or look like an edge control once I am done doing this. The next thing that I would do is something, as I started doing recently saw spritz on water on the hair, just above my ear and I'm going to go. I got this really recently. I got this the data. I got the heat protector. I got this for like seven run 19 era, just to try and I'm just applying this or I'm going to apply it on the side where I just sprayed water, and this is going to help with fly wings in that area, because I just tend to get Hair flying away from that area, like I said, I tend to take this skin care out when it comes to my hair. So if I find a brand that works for me, I just tend to stick to that brand and that's what I've done we can. I tend to get my country products from Casabella and a banner well, I couldn't find his protector in these two places and I ended up finding it at Envivio beauty at noveria mode. They have another branch in cerulean, so you can check there. They have the largest shelf of country products. I'Ve ever seen. I was so surprised. Look at. I actually took this picture of my phone. They have everything that you need from country and then, if you're in South Africa, I know that you can get country products from clicks and addition, I'm not sure if that pronunciation is right. But I'm going to leave the name in the description box, I'm going to try and see if I can find other vendors know that countries and live in the description box as well. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it helpful. I'Ll see you guys in my next one you you
