Half Up Half Down Curly Tutorial W/ U Part Wig

Hey YouTube: it's Sam! I promise you I have on clothing, so we aren't going to do a hair tutorial today. I have my, u part, wig, that it's hair from your nice camera. What'S up Carly but check to my videos. I don't have that many o to see what kind of curly it is. So I had mentioned in the straight hair review that I did that it actually was too dark for my hair. So it may look about the same color, but if this one's a focus you'll see that my hair is a bit lighter than this now, so it doesn't really work out too well, so I wanted to do a half up half down curly look! So that's what we're gon na try and do today. I'Ve never done! I, like I, have done a half up half down, but by the time one my hair match to what is to to my hair was a lot shorter, so more of the extension show, but now that my hair is longer, I don't know how that it's gon Na go so this is kind of inspired. I'M just gon na talk and make this happen crossing our fingers. So this is kind of inspired from into my RayRay's video. She does have up half down looks all the time my hair was in a low curly, not even a bun, a low hold on. Let me get a mirror first, okay, so I got a mirror. I can be able to see myself so I was a low kind of ponytail, so what we're gon na do is very similar to what she did. I don't even know if I should make it perfect. Cuz no one's gon na know so I'm gon na part a good chunk of my hair. Now this was combed out and beautiful. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I love the cut gel at the front, which is fine because for this hairstyle we're gon na do the exact same thing. So I just need to step um. I would say 3/4 of my hair just enough so that what we're covering the tracks - so I'm not going with this rat tail comb anyway, so she did her version of this, but it was actually with straight hair, so that's kind of what it inspired me. Ultimately, I would like to do it was Trey here, but because I'm really trying to stay away from the heat I need to be able to see. I decided to do curly hair, so we're just doing enough. So that way we can cover up the tracks, never mind the knot and this on my hair. So I don't know if you noticed but towards the phone I did more of a straight, but on the sides I kind of angled it oral-b, but behind my ear. So I'm anticipating that, once I actually try to cover the hair that the sides are going to need the most coverage. So I wanted to give myself a little bit more wiggle room as far as having enough hair to cover the sides cuz. That would be a disaster. Do not have enough hair what happened here. I don't know it's getting a little weird. So oh man, what's really good? Ok, so we're going to separate this part, so we got about at least an inch to two inches of hair and majority of my hair, like I said, will be secured. So normally, if I was doing this for like a longer period of time, I would breathe the back of my hair. There'S a lot of hair and I'm lazy - and this is my first blowout - so we're gon na cut corners today. So we're going to go ahead and hydrate hair, it's gon na be chilling, but not too much cuz curly girls. My takes forever to dry like a lot of curly girls. So we really don't want it to be sitting out there Flambeau. So I'm gon na go in with my. I think people call it their diamond brush if I'm not mistaken and just detangle a little bit more. So, like I said mine, it was a long ponytail and my hands were out so my ends need the most love. As far as detangling, I'm not looking a fool like slick smooth, because this is curly hair and I'm okay with a little volume. So, okay, if it decides to be a little poofy, that's okay, because in the back it's gon na be just chilling and full of curls. So just enough that we can kind of get this in the same direction. Now I'm gon na secure it and so again a low ponytail. I'M not gon na go ahead and put usually I put like um some sort of phrase or something, but I'm gon na do the same because we're gon na secure the hair. So it shouldn't move, shouldn't move. I'Ve done this look or kind of a similar look before, but my hair was actually braided on either side. So push comes to shove and for whatever reason and unable to achieve this, look don't get mad, get glad and go ahead and just do your you pour like you're. You part like you would normally do go ahead and pour it in between and then on. The sides here you do braids and then you secure the two braids along with your hair. That would be out here. So that's what I usually do, but today I don't want to try something different. So the X is here that we have back here. I'M gon na do a JD braid because I don't really want it to be perfect. I don't want to be perfect, but then I don't want it to be a big pool ball back here either. So again, Thank You brain as you can see. This is a pinky brain, so let's go ahead, secure our janky, braids and flip our ends and then we're going to kind of swoop it around and what I do. Hopefully I didn't do this too tight. I didn't you see all this excess, I'm going to loop. Our tail onto this so that'll create the back of our hair. So that's basically it for the back. So now, let's move on to the installation of our hair. So for this, look because I'm not gon na have my entire head out in the back of this u-part wig. They have the elastic band and I'm gon na make this as tight as I can because, like I said, this is gon na, be not my entire head secured gon na go ahead and put this on starting with the back well, actually, making sure the back is On there, first pulling it up and usually whether you part again do you is here, but we're gon na try to straighten it out and keep it as symmetrical as possible. So with that, we're gon na go ahead and secure everything here as much as we can. So you see how the part is a little hidden. That'S okay! With the clips. Let'S grab the clips on these sides, get those guys in get this clip on this side. Now this one is you need of repair, but guess what honey is? It still works. It just works half as good as it would that's fine, it's enough for me, get this in secure it down and then we're going to do the back now. The last ban comes in handy because of the fact that it'll shrink the weight. That would normally be really really large. So now we have our wig on it's not going anywhere. This part we can always secure with a bobby pin, but that's okay, we'll make it work. So, let's pull out okay, so this part is gon na, be the tricky part. I really don't care. Now I had looked I'd. Look for this look on for a while, but a lot of people use either straight hair or wavy hair, but because my hair is neither of the such it's a lot harder to follow, because it doesn't necessarily pertain to me. So I thought, let me create one now. You could easily leave this just the way it is and rock it like this, which is cute or whatever, but this is not so again we're gon na push this up. You too, so again, this works wonders because of the fact that you get to now cover this hair. I think to be honest to you now that I'm doing it, I'm gon na do the half up half down, but I'm not going to do a ponytail. I think I'm just gon na pull it back like. I am right now and I mean then I'll put some gel, but the key. What gel is, if you start to just get it where you want to get it first, so that way, once you actually secure it, it's all together. It makes a world of a difference. Now I'm noticing that, with my clip at least on this side, he's giving me a bit of a pull back in the sense that the clip wants to lift up because of the because of me actually moving the hair. So I'm grabbing just a little bit. Not a whole lot of the tracks because we don't want to have people are living the tracks, but just enough to blend everybody. So now, once a car scrunchie they're gon na loosely - and so I'm only going twice leapin it twice and now I'm gon na go ahead and add our gel. So this I use this job now, it's actually from the Dollar Tree and it's a softy styling gel argan oil vitamins, a e b5 enriched, and it's very good. I like it again from the Dollar Tree, never would have thought so, let's go ahead and add some of that to our edges, okay by somebody in a lot, at least for me. I like a lot because then during the week, when I add more gel or nutjobs sorry, when I kind of refresh in the style, I don't have to add so much job. I add more water than anything. So I kind of drench it this time around and then from there. It'S a lot easier so now that we kind of have our self together, I'm going to go in and kind of get my edges together and some of y'all are like what she's not using a toothbrush. I haven't gotten into to brush thing it just it doesn't. Do it for me, I'm kind of able to make them work without the toothbrush make sure we have some product on their edges, because that makes a world of a difference and then bring some of our other edges. Sideburn, sorry down it! Okay! So we take this off now, if you want just so that way, your hair kind of sticks together. What I want to do is add it's a product on my hand and I'm gon na start kind of putting it through the ponytail. Now, to make this bond a little bit tighter, I'm grabbing the corners of my natural hair that is actually being pulled into the hair to make it tighter, because if we grab the weave honey, it's no good, no blue, so be careful with your tracks. Be careful with your hair because you don't want any showing so now that I think I've got it together as good as I can get it go ahead and secure that hold on, because I don't have it together, like I thought I did so. Okay, I think I got it together, so let's go ahead and secure this now. You can also do this with with a what is it called with a rubber band, so I'm gon na add a little bit of gel because my hair does whatever it wants, like. As much as I'm really trying to get it to blend honey, it can show me who's boss, real quick and, with this gel, it's very curly girl, curly, hair, sensitive okay, so I think I've put as much gel as I can possibly put in there scrunch it A little bit cuz again don't my ears, I don't get too stable. I will revert so quickly. So here is the final look. I think it looks super super cute, I'm just gon na poof out, because I haven't had this here on for while I'm just gon na poof out the ends a little bit, but I really really like it the back so yeah. This is the final look hope you guys liked it and I hope it was pretty easy to follow. I think it's beginner-friendly, if you want you can kind of add some hydration to the ends. Cuz again, I haven't had this hair on for a while, so it may look a little dry, but it's a very easy fix down to my next video bye, guys like comment subscribe and I'll, see you guys later
