How To: Sleek Velcro Ponytail | Perfect Summer Hairstyle For Natural Hair | Straight Hair Natural

So i am super excited to do this video, because i got me my first ponytail and it is 30 inches. I have not got the opportunity to play with it because i just took out my sew-in, so this is going to be my first time in my first impressions and everything. So this hair is from a company called center quiche hair. I will have all the information linked down below. This is a female black owned company and i did take out the hair when i first got it and i loved it. So this is the hair fresh out of the box and the really cool thing about this ponytail, which i've actually never seen in a ponytail before, is that it's a velcro ponytail. So it has this velcro strip here and then it has this hair hanging off from it. So that way after you velcroed it over itself, you can use the hair and wrap the hair around itself and then secure with some bobby pins and boom. But this hair feels really really soft. I got one shed here. This is this is amazing, i'm so excited for this. You can see my hair is looking pretty rough right now i just blow-dried it. I haven't straightened it or anything. Nor do i think, i'm actually going to straighten it all the way through. I am going to just probably straighten around the perimeter, so that way it will lay a little bit flatter and blend in better with this hair. But i do get a lot of comments asking which type of hair extensions and weave do. I recommend for heat trained hair. This will be a great one, because it's definitely straight and smooth, and it has a little bit of shine. It also has some texture in there still, so it really looks like as if it was my hair and then the color is like a one beast. I'Ve seen i'm actually playing with this ponytail and doing some different streaks of colors, like blue purple, pink to make it a little bit more of a unicorn type ponytail. So let me know what you guys think about that is that something i should try go bueno. I'M gon na stop rambling and let's get started into the video, so i had my hair in a sew-in for a little over a month and i am on the struggle bus right now. I'M like i really don't know what to do. As you guys know, i never feel like being bothered with my hair, but i need to be if i want to keep it healthy and growing, so my baby was flat iron. Here i have it on the setting 375 make sure you spray your hair with heat protectant. I'Ve already done that off camera and let it dry a little bit - and i am just going to take the very front of my hair part it out the way and then move the rest to the back. Then i'm just going to go and straighten each section. Just really quickly, this doesn't have to be bone straight really. In my opinion, this is just to smooth down my hair a little bit so it'll blend a little bit better with a ponytail, i'm just combing, my hair, all the way back, because i want to get my willow's peak a little bit better and also my edges. Then what i want to do is put my hair up and i want to get just this little back section, so i'm going to take my edge control from cream of nature. This is the argan oil one and i am going to place it on my edges and just brush it all back. So i like to wear my ponytails at this height. Sometimes i like to wear them higher, but for the most part i like it right here and what i'm trying to do is just get my hair as smooth as possible right now, because it's in a blow-dried state. So we want it to look as if it's all been flat ironed already. So what i'm going to do now is just take my flat iron get my little hairs by my ears to help to just frame the face, and then i'm going to take some more edge control and actually lay my baby hairs somewhat. I still don't really know how to do that, but always attempt to, and that's going to bobby pin some of the shorter hairs that aren't quite reaching to the ponytail. Now. What i want to do is get this into a bun, and i want to make it as small as possible if my hair was straight, if your hair is already straight, this would be a whole lot easier to do, but for the people who actually don't want To straighten their hair and just use this as like protective type style, this is definitely something you can do and then, with my back, i'm going to take my flat iron get my edges again and with the edges back there, i'm just going to let it kind Of just hang out down there, okay, now, the fun part. Let me clip off the tag. This is how it's looking by the way - and this has a little clip in here - so i'm going to put the clip right at the top of my bun and wrap that all around and then take this little piece of hair and just wrap it over. I'M gon na bobby pin it in the back. I like to use two bobby pins to really secure it in place. I just crisscross the bobby pins on top of each other, i'm just going to re-smooth my ponytail back out, and i just want to hit this with a flat iron and get it all bone. Silky straight. This hair feels incredible. Okay, so here is the final look to the back: you don't see any bun or anything, and it goes all the way down to my hip and it looks like it's my hair in my mind, and this ponytail does come in other lanes, so you don't have To be this extra like me, but something you can also to wrap this up into a bun, and i actually like this a lot better than kankalon hair because it doesn't tangle and it looks way more like my hair. So this is the bun. So someone had asked me in the comment section yesterday: what would be the perfect vacation hairstyle, but you don't want to do braids and you're also going to be swimming, so you don't really want to straighten your hair. This would be the perfect hairstyle one because you can take the ponytail in and out. So if you do go swimming, you just put your hair in a bun swim and then, when you get out you're of course, always supposed to wash your hair from chlorine. So once you wash your hair, you can literally just slick it back into a bun. Put the ponytail right on top mind you. You will have a little bit of two different textures going on there, but if you do it correctly, meaning if you slip your actual hair back really really nice it'll look great and then for the days you're done with swimming. You can just blow dry. Your hair put it in a bun like this put the ponytail in wear it all day, with your little summer, dress, going shopping or out to eat and have the ponytail, and you would look really really good as if you actually went and put effort and went To the salon make sure you got your hair done for your vacation trip and i will leave all the information for this hair and all the other products i use in the description box below. I want to thank me for doing all this hard work.
