How you get that hair laid, girl?! Those curls are laid flat, that's how I did that!
A lot of you guys have been asking me here and on Instagram if I relaxed or flat ironed my hair.
The answer to that is: heck to the N-O! My hair is bleached! It cannot handle all of that!
It's pretty much super dry! But a side-by-side comparison will show you that something is happening and she is not speaking on it.
So let's rewind the track and bring the beach back.
Now, when I was editing my footage of my How I Bleached My Hair video, I noticed that my hair was laid.
And I was like, wait a minute, why does my hair look like that when it's wet and otherwise when it isn't?
So then I said to myself, you have to think like a curly.
And a curly girl's BFF is H2O. It's the only way to go.
Okay, so first I start with a leave-in conditioner.
Blondes, take notes from the curly girls! We both have one thing in common, and that is our hair needs moisture.
Bleached hair needs moisture, so first you want to start off with a leave-in conditioner.
Once you have your leave-in conditioner, ladies, you want to seal that with an oil-based product.
Now I'm using this awesome leave-in by The Mane Choice. This line is divine.

And to get your hair laid, you have to use a brush that has loads of bristles. So I'm using this one.
Now I definitely am giving you Sisqo realness.
Baby move your butt, butt, butt! Thighs like, what, what, what!
You could stop here. But because I'm going for a super laid look, I'm going to top that off with ECO styler gel.
This stuff is bomb, and it's super cheap and affordable.
And I work it in with my hands. And just flattening and pressing my hair down so it is laid.
Shout outs to Funky Deneiva.
I love you boo!
If I were to leave it at that step, it would frizz right back up because I have curly hair. So I have to wrap that.
And I'm using a satin head wrap.
Whatever!
Okay, so once it's dry, you just take it off.
My hair is laid, boo! Do you see?! Are you seeing?!
I don't know if you are catching that. That is laid.
Because I do have curly hair and I don't want it to frizz, I have to make sure that it's completely dry.
And then with my fingers I can either finger comb it--so this will just like, de-harden it.
Or use something that is wide-tooth. You can use a wide-toothed comb or a wide-toothed brush.
And then... see? So that's how I get my hair laid.
Every week is something new for me because my hair is growing. So every time I allow it to grow longer than the last time, I have to re-learn my hair.
The bleach is drying on your hair. But thankfully, my hair grows fast enough that I can cut out the ends that are kind of dry.
Wax. BFF. Short hair.
I think they say it's not good for you. But whatever.
Apparently nothing is good for me.
So I can leave it like that. And the wax just kind of gives styling control.
And I don't want to use anything that has a water base in it, otherwise it will go curly.
And I do want it curly, but I want it to be longer before I start wearing it curly.
I can do that. See, this is all wax.
I can just use my fingers to style. I feel like it's a little like ''Something About Mary.''
That's my Astro Boy look. So I can have it laid down flat, or rock my Astro Boy.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I get my hair laid.
