Hi guys welcome to another video. Today'S video is a little bit different but yeah. I know i like doing these type of videos. I found some old hair closure around the house and i saw this young lady on youtube, not youtube. She was on instagram, so i'm gon na put a picture right here to show what, where my inspiration came from to complete this look but yeah. So she basically cut a closure to get like. I guess like a two by six closure or two by whatever closure, and then she just glued some hair in and it seemed like. It was simple enough that that i can do it, so it was on my mind for like the last two or three weeks since i saw it so i'm like yeah. I really want to give this a try. Let me give this a try, so this is the look i was able to achieve. If you want to walk with me through this process, it was a process, feel free drop down, and let me know what you think at the end, once you get to the end be kind because i am not a hair stylist. I just like trying things like everybody else, so yeah make sure you like comment and subscribe and i'll see you all in my next video bye guys so starting off. I had already put my erica j um glue down. I don't know how i miss this part in the edit, but that little band-aid, looking thing that you see inside of the uh closure is scar away tape that i got from amazon. I probably had that um scar away tape for the last year, if not two years so i saw lara andrea here on youtube, use it recently to conceal the knots on her frontal. So i said why not give it a second try, so i use that i just placed like two or three pieces inside where i knew that i wanted my part at and then i just used that so then i set my closure where i needed it took This elastic headband that i got from the beauty supply store to secure it. While i sewed the closure down, and also this was a 4x4 closure. If i didn't say - and i just cut it - i don't even think it's too much to buy whatever i just cut. It to where it was smaller, uh smaller for me to work with being as though i don't do, hair so yeah, so i'm just sewing it in no kind of way. Believe me, i missed this one all the way up. I was just like nana. You just need to get it down if you can get it down, then you're good, but those videos and pictures of people doing their own sew-ins and own quick weave looks so much easier than when you actually do it because you see right here, i got a Knot i'm like how do i get a knot and no, i did not cut it. I just kept sewing. I pulled that thread to the side and it kept sewing. I was like because, if i stop, if i let something frustrate me and i stop, i'm never going to start again so yeah, so i'm basically just sewing it down. They said for you to do one side start from the back. Do one side work your way to the front and then do the other side. So that's basically what i did i'm just kind of just going back over it just to make sure that it's as flat as i can get it, and here it is you see that thread got all tangled up on me again and i just tied it in A knot i'm like i'm not doing this so yeah, now, here's the gluing part. So, as you can see, it's just some random bundles that i had nothing special, nothing um. I can't even tell y'all where they come from. I know i usually order my bundles from either ally pearl or it was another company ally grace. So those are the two companies that i know when i used to get sew-ins a lot that i used to order from so here the young lady said that you should glue your tracks forward. It gives you hair, or it gives the illusion of more hair. More fullness and it makes your forehead look smaller and y'all know my forehead is like huge. So i was like: oh okay, it's a method that make your forehead look smaller. So let me try it so. This was my first time ever trying to glue tracks. You know uh not the regular way, so i this is the beauty supply store. Um glue. Don'T ask me what kind of glue it is. I just know that it's behind the counter and the young man had to get it for me, but it's no special glue. I don't think it is or whatever so yeah, i'm just gluing it down and that's and that y'all okay. So that's okay! This is a spray spritz. I see some people do sprays. Y'All see my hair is not even molded glued. I mean braid it down twist. It down nothing, i just threw on the cap so anyway. So that's one of my things. That'S probably why i don't like to do. I probably can do a quick weave on somebody else, but to do quick weave on myself. I don't like the stickiness and all that stuff. On my hand, that irritates me to no end. So that's probably like one of the reasons why i don't like to do quick weave, i think they're, beautiful they're, quick, they're, easy. I mean not easy, but they're fun to do. You can do like a million styles. I just don't like that sticky feeling on my hand and rubbing it off, and i spent more time wiping my hands than i did actually doing the style. So i'm just speeding through this y'all, because i have no regular like details to give y'all on what i did. I just basically looked at this short video, the young lady and i got confused when i got to like the top part of my head. So that's what my son had to come and help me with, because um i got confused on how to glue it or what direction i was supposed to go in and then that's where my space, i ended up um having extra space and my cat was showing So i got my sign to fix it for me, even though he was irritated with me but yeah, so yeah i just keep looking keep going glue cut. I guess this method wouldn't be really for people who didn't want to cut their um tracks, but for me i don't care and i had them forever. So it didn't bother me so i'll. Let this play so you could just see what i'm doing, because i'm not doing anything special at all, so, okay, guys so jumping right back into it. Now i have started to flat iron. I got this flat iron from amazon. I don't even know the name of it. I know it was like 30, something dollars maybe a year ago. So now i've just started to flat iron, it's hot. I didn't put like any heat protectant or anything on it, because i didn't want to weigh it down with the product and i'm just trying to see how flat it'll get without me using anything. I know a lot of people use those wax sticks, but i just find that whenever i use it it makes my hair really really greasy. So i kind of don't like them - or maybe i just haven't - found the right one. I i have the carry care wax. Stick - and i think i have one more waxed it, but i just feel like it weighs my hair down and makes it look greasy and heavy and, as you can see, my cap is still showing underneath there i swear. I started not to put this video out. I was like you do not need to put that video out, but i'm like no i'm gon na put it out, because i know it's people like me who just sit there and think of things to do and do hair and want to do their own hair And you know, and that's just what it is, whether you get it right or wrong. At least you try to do something, and i guarantee you if i keep like doing it, a lot practicing practicing practicing i'll get it eventually. So that part i'm not worried about, but i think the initial my first time doing it, i think it came out rather decent in my opinion, so it's basically me just a flat ironing section. I try to take a little section by little section, so i made it to the other side y'all. So i'm still this process right here took me, maybe about probably about 30 minutes or so only because i was doing like little sections because i wanted it to be like flat like i was going for, like a wrap. Look like a 90s wrap style. Look and it's flat ironic, it's a really really really really hot. I think i did eventually if you saw some videos after this. I think i did eventually like put me a little two swoops of baby hairs like in the front, but to be honest, like i really didn't, need baby hairs and while i'm doing this voiceover today, i have had this in my hair for a week. I left it in for a whole week, so i'm getting ready to wash it out and that's what made me think. Oh you recorded the process, so go ahead and put it up or whatever so i'm using the flat iron. My favorite one that the one that you put on the stove. I prefer that over those electric ones, i haven't found an electric one. Yet that gets like a really really hot, like it probably get hot for like two weeks and then it clunks out and i'll have a flat iron. So if you know like a good flat iron, that gets really really hot, then drop down and let me know but um yeah, i'm just using my flat iron using the hot comb no product. I did have some flyaways at the top and i just sprayed water on it and brushed it down and then tied it up with my um head wrap. So i didn't do anything special with that part. So right here i noticed that one of my tracks was lifting up or wanting to do his own thing and wanted to run away, and it was driving me crazy, hi guys i am back. This is the completed. This is the completed hair install whatever it was baby. When i say i looked at that clip a million times, i looked at it a million times and you know it speeds through so yeah. So here i am thinking yeah um. She did speed the clip up. So this should take me like an hour or whatever. No, i don't know how long it took me. I know i was missing spots in the back and i had to get my son. I was like just glue this part to this side and measure it. He was so upset with me because, like he's a boy boy, boy, boy boy - and he was not into helping me - fix my hair, he was breathing all hard down my neck. I was like. Oh, let me hurry up. Let him go so i don't know how to back look. I know i got a hump back here, because this is where all my hair is and it's just in a ponytail underneath that stocking cap. So it's not flat or anything at all, but the concept it was more so for me it was just a random hair that i had laying around the house like forever, like probably two or three year old hair, and i was like well i'm not doing nothing. Let me try the closure. I cut off a wig that i had so i had. I didn't, have to go out and buy anything to do this hairstyle. So i'll probably leave this in. I am going to leave this in for a couple of days now me putting the whatever scar tape on that. I got that from the raja, andrea here on youtube and i must say it does hide and see my part not even straight or though i'm not one for a straight straight part. I think your hairstyles look more natural when your parts are crooked, because that's how my parts are on my regular hair, they're, all crooked, but yeah i mean it - does hide the grease it makes it look um better. I could part it let's see. Let'S see is that is that straighter? No, i can never part my hair straight and that's probably why i always do a side part, because side parts are better, but i think i'm supposed to pluck like the hair out the part or something. Maybe so maybe that's what it is so we'll try that next time, plucking apart, because i'm done for the day for this this right here, that's a little bit straighter, not a lot straighter but yeah. So this was just a look for me to tell you if you haven't tried to do it yourself, i'm always going to try to do something myself. Nails, hair makeup, make a shirt, make a skirt, i'm always going to try to do it myself. The more you do it, the more you learn, but if you never try, then you'll never know what you're able of accomplishing yourself so yeah, even my size and stuff are all out, because i didn't want to put no glue or nothing on my sides or whatever You call it so yeah. I know this just so. Do it yourself hairstyle. So if you enjoyed today's video, please make sure you like comment and subscribe and i'll see you in my next video bye guys. Oh just do it yourself now. Do it yourself,
