welcome beautiful people i am Chev b if you're new to this channel welcome wah gwan make sure you are
subscribed down below for today's video i'll be creating a sleek ponytail on my four type hair
and i'll be doing this in a fully stretched state now as you guys can see the shrinkage is real my
hair is freshly washed and it is completely free of product so that is very important for a stretch
look your hair needs to be completely clean now today's video is sponsored by tonico and i'll be
using their moda one hairdryer now this hair jar is a smart hairdryer and i'll be getting
i will be getting into the features of this blow dryer for you guys so this is what the
blow dryer looks straight out of the package and it comes with about three different attachments
so this first attachment is more for a soft finish more of a soft low volume type of
blow drying and then the second attachment is for more of a concentrated area so this is what
we'll be using to stretch our hair now i'm going to show you guys what the blow dryer looks like
it's a little bit different from your like typical average blow dryer and it looks like futuristic
and different so it comes with a manual so you can read up on different things and features that
comes with the blow dryer and also it comes with a diffuser which is very important for us naturals
for drying our hair so it only has two settings a automatic setting in a cool setting and then it
has the on and off switch now the attachments are magnetic so they literally automatically connect
and then you turn it in a 360 direction and also the back of the the blow dryer can be detachable
to clean the vent so you know a lot of times we have blow dryer and all the gunk and dust is stuck
in there so it's a great thing that this blow dryer allows you to remove it so you can clean
the airway now i'll be using this tresemme heat protectant because girl we're we'll be using some
heat in our hair and we need to make sure that we're doing this in the most healthy way possible
now i won't go overboard with the heat but still i got to make sure that my my hair is protected
now the cool thing i want to show you guys about this blow dryer first of all as i said
we're using the more concentrated um attachment so that we get the most effective dry possible
now the cool thing that i noticed with this blow dryer is that it can detect which area
is wet and which area is dry so basically when it's on that blue color it is dry and when you
put it on an area that is wet it's it heats up a little bit more and allows that area to
dry so you it also comes with an app where you could set the mode to dry your hair so
i'm gonna just do this for my entire head and then we're gonna like fully blow dry our hair
now this is my hair fully blown out and then i will be straightening my hair a little bit more
for a more sleek look and before i do that i'm going to be using this tresemme
serum to put on my hair again protection is important very very important so i'm going
to put that all over my hair you want don't want to go overboard with this you're going to put it
lightly all over your hair from the roots to tip and just work that in there
now to flat iron my hair a bit even though you're seeing some heat i actually use this on
340 so it wasn't that hot and i did about one and a half pass-through you can do two if it's
necessary but i only did one on most of the areas so i didn't want my hair to be super straight i
just wanted it to lay flat so you just need one pass or two if necessary on given areas
now once i have done that it is time to put my hair up in one so basically the whole process of
this is to use less product now i have different tutorials on showing you guys different ways to
create a sleek ponytail now i have tutorials on how to do that without heat and more product and
this one is with some heat and less product so the product that we'll be using is it got to
be freezing spray and that is our main product and one of the only products that we'll be using
to create this look so i just sprayed the guy to be freezing spray around the perimeter
of the of my hair and then i just brush it all up in one
now i'm just taking little pieces on the side you don't have to do this
i thought it was cute when i was looking at different sleek ponytails on pinterest
and i'm like you know i want to try that little little um leave out on the side and yeah that's
basically what we'll be doing so i'm gonna keep brushing my hair up in one as you saw
i only use the got to be freezing spray so far i didn't even put any more in there as yet
and i just keep brushing my hair up and then put it in the ponytail
now i'm gonna go back in with the freezing spray once i get my hair
in one and the freezing spray will keep your hair in place and also for the fly aways and
then i go back in with the blow dryer and just dry the area where i put the freezing spray
so that my hair could stay and lay properly and flat
now the ponytail that we will be using is from ultra and this is called a pretty quick
ponytail now i have this ponytail for months and it has been sitting in my recording room
for the longest time and i just thought hey i'm going to do a sleek ponytail so this ponytail
basically you don't have to do all the extra ish of like wrapping the hair all of that so i
thought it was pretty cool and it is super long now i'm going to try to find it online for you
guys and put the link in the description box if i can find it and basically it comes with three
little combs on the inside and then the piece to wrap it around so it's supposed to be really easy
now the tricky part of this is i didn't know where to put my hair so a lot of the tutorials that i
see you put your hair in a bun but my bun was too big as much as i try to get it as small as i could
i couldn't get the bun to be small to do it so basically i try to get my hair to blend with it
or just to lay within the ponytail now this could also be tricky if you have super thick hair so um
girl i don't even know what to tell you with this i felt like it could have done with one more track
so if you have um pieces of hair hopefully you can put it in but i felt like it just needed to be
a tad bit thicker for it to be like super bomb now i'm just going to wrap the piece around and
then spray the gasket freezing spray to make sure that it stays in place now i don't have
to use any bobby pin i didn't have to do anything extra all i did was wrap the hair around and keep
spraying the freezing spray and use the blow dryer to dry that and it stayed in place
now once i have my ponytail done i still wasn't satisfied with how my hair was in the ponytail
so i took out the elastic that i put on the end of my hair and then just basically played around
with the ponytail try to move it around so that it could cover my hair in between and it helped that
my hair was straightened a bit so it could blend easier within it but if you have shorter hair
make a bun and it should be way more effective now i'll be using the pump it up spritz and
you guys know when you do spritz on your hair your hair isn't going nowhere like
no flyaways inside once you spray the the pump it up and then tie down your hair now i'm just using
a little bit of light oil you don't want to use heavy oil at all for this style what i wanted to
do was to get my hair to lay flat without using too much product and also even though we love
our coiliness of our natural hair i wanted to try something without having too much
wave so that it could actually match the ponytail that i'm wearing now for your
edges like i didn't really show the edge control because the edge control that i'm using is from
myfirstwig.com where i get my wigs from and i used to use she's bomb edge control but of recently it
just hasn't been working for me i keep changing um edge control but just use whatever works for you
and to get the very front flat i sprayed some more of the pump it up and then use my edge brush to
brush that in and then tie it down immediately while it's wet so that it could dry in place
and for my little side whisker thingy my jigs i just um flat iron it one more time to get
it to be straight and then we're going to tie down the hair because it's still a little bit
i'm wet from the got to be freezing spray and we let that dry while i did my makeup
so this is how the hair is looking after i did my makeup and i'm just gonna spray some of my cream
of nature finishing oil and rub it in the palm of my hand and just put that on top of my hair
so you don't want to use any wet products like wet products are a big no-no you want to make sure if
you're going to use oil use a very light oil no type of a heavy oil is necessary now you see my
kitchen needed a little bit of touch up i didn't realize that until after the video i put a little
bit of edge control in the back there you know get them pepper greens all the way together and this
is the final look let me know what you guys think of this as i said i have different type of sleek
ponytail tutorial so if this style isn't much of your liking and if you want to do something with
less heat i have tutorials on that as well but we wanted to do something flat and sleek with less
product and a healthy safe way of using heat and i am all here for this ponytail girl all here for it
