- What's up beautiful people?
It's ya homegirl Ms. Shameless all up in your bathroom,
in your living room, in your kitchen,
in your classroom, in your work space,
when you should be focusing but instead
you watchin' them curls pop.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
A lot of people have been asking me on Instagram
how I have been taking care of my curls,
what am I doing?
How do I get them to pop and stay so perfect?
The first thing I do is sometimes I detangle,
sometimes I skip this step.
But to do that, I spritz my hair.
This Maui Moisture, I find it's really good for detangling,
'cause it just makes my hair super slippery.
(swoosh)
And then, I'll detangle with a wide brush.
I'll start at the ends and make my way to the root.
And this just is something I do,
I don't do it all the time but I just don't
want my hair in the shower,
I think that is the most disgusting thing ever.
Just, hair in the shower.
It's so funny how once a part of your body
is off your body it's like (gagging).
So anyways, I digress.
Sometimes I skip this, I shampoo.
I am currently using Aveda, the Sap Moss.
I got this in a PR package and then,
they hit me to work with them for Instagram.
Aveda is a cruelty free line, vegan.
So far this is what I've been using.
This is awesome in terms of the smell,
I love earthy smells it just gives me,
it serve me all kinds of like vanilla, and jasmine.
(record scratch)
So I've been using this to shampoo.
And when I shampoo I focus on the scalp,
and I usually wash my hair between, like every three days.
So focus on my scalp because that's where I sweat,
and that's where it stinks.
I hate a smelly scalp.
Okay so just really get in there, massage.
And then once I rinse, I condition.
Currently using, my deep conditioning conditioner,
and I love it for deep conditioning.
I got it from a local stylist here in L.A.,
and it's locally made, natural ingredients.
This is great slip, and detangle, and moisture.
Again, I use what I have, not a big deal.
Once I wash, I dry.
Now, I don't like to wrap my hair in a towel anymore.
My hair isn't that long so I don't need to do that.
What I will do is kind of get the ends,
because I still want the moisture,
and the water to hydrate my hair when I'm styling.
'Cause I'm gonna be styling.
Now this is where the poppin' curls come in.
You hear?
Section your hair however way you section your hair.
This is, my travel size leave in conditioner.
I took the actual product and put it in travel size
'cause I've been traveling a lot,
so I don't have the actual container.
But it's tgin, I got it from Target,
and I just got it by chance and it works.
I use this, sometimes I use my old Kinky-Curly.
Depending on what I have again.
So I use either or.
And I twirls.
Ladies, twirl on 'em.
Now sometimes I won't do all of my hair,
I just do like a couple pieces here and there.
But if you want that popping curl, you do the entire head.
The smaller the section, the more defined the curl.
And the thicker the section, the more bounce.
Less definition, more volume.
Once I've done the entire head, I use a styling product.
I've been using tgin Curl Bomb Moisturizing Styling Gel.
(tapping bottle)
I used to love my Eco Styler, now I'm onto this stuff.
It's natural, right.
So, I don't have that much left,
so what I'll do right, is I have it on my hands
and I just scrunch and squeeze.
She loves a good squeeze.
(laughing)
So once that is in my hair, I then proceed to dry.
I feel like air drying, because the weight of the moisture
is in my hair it kinda stretches the curl.
Which is totally fine, summer time I generally air dry.
But sometimes winter time, or if I want again
a really poppin' curl, with all that bounce, I will diffuse.
So now the trick here,
is if you want volume go against the hair.
If you don't want volume or you don't want frizz,
go with the hair.
I just go against because I want volume.
Once my hair is dry, or once I remember,
I use an oil for my scalp.
When I forget to oil my scalp,
I just feel like it gets dry and flaky.
And I guess you have to know your scalp.
Because sometimes it could be dry,
or sometimes it could be like dandruff,
or whatever the case is.
But for me, it's dry scalp so I have to moisturize.
I use the Alikay Essential 17 Hair Growth Oil.
It smells good, it's like minty, it's refreshing.
And it feels good, so I work that in my hair,
my scalp, and then I massage.
And then, you diffuse or you finish diffusing.
You can do a combo of natural air drying,
diffusing, I do both.
But again this is day one, by day two or three
it starts to get massive.
The takeaway is the twirl.
How big or how small the section of the twirl, on the curl,
and whether you decide to air dry or diffuse.
And, whether you decide to put a diffuser
on your blow dryer, sometimes I don't.
When my diffuser was broken I didn't have an attachment.
My curls were cute, but they weren't boppin'.
Once I put this on, that made the world of a difference.
I believe that wraps up my hair tutorial.
