What's up, beautiful people?
It is your homegirl, Ms. Shameless,
all up in your building with another hair video.
You guys, I'm doing seven days of hair.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here,
on the I or in the info box below.
But we have seven videos of hair back to back to back.
And I just wanted to break it down with you
because I haven't talked about my hair for a while,
and I'm going through a lot of changes
mainly because my hair is growing,
and I've been playing around with it to the point where
when you start to play and have fun,
you can create some damage, which is what happened.
So I would go to the hair salon every two weeks,
and I have been texturizing my hair for a year.
And I like texturizing my hair.
Basically it's a chemical process.
It's kind of like a relaxer, but it's really soft.
You put it in your hair. You wash it right out.
And it just loosens the curl pattern a little bit,
which I like because I like the option
of wearing my hair curly,
and I like the option of wearing my hair straight.
And when it's texturized, it's just easier to press
them curls out, girl.
So I don't have to put all this heat on my hair.
It's not damaged.
And I have flexibility on the styles I want to rock.
Now, the last time I went to the hairstylist,
I asked her, I said, "Why is it on long?
It's a texturizer, right?"
She said, "No, it's a relaxer."
I was like, no you did not, trick. No you did not.
So she washed my hair out, and then she styled it straight,
so I had no idea what my hair looked like until I washed it,
and now it's just this weird wave.
But yeah, so I'm in the whole process of growing that out,
and I do love a texturizer.
But I'm-a wait and chill out on that.
And this look looks like I have a texturizer.
This is what my hair usually looks like.
But I had to make it look like this.
Take an old t-shirt.
Cut it up and twist it.
Tie it and go to sleep with it.
Wake up, undo it, and bam. Sha-blam. Pa-dow.
Giving you eighties realness, you know?
Natural girl in the building, faking the funk.
Stay tricking, if you will. [laughing]
I'm-a break it down for you on how I created this look.
So let's get into it, boo.
♪ ♪
What you're going to need is a t-shirt.
I'm using this old t-shirt.
And scissors.
Then you'll be cutting out strips.
Little rags that will be tied into your hair.
So depending on how thick the t-shirt is --
if it's really thin, I would suggest folding it over.
♪ ♪
Or if you want your curls to be tight, use a thin t-shirt
and just use a little, small portion.
So you can double it up if you want the curls to be bigger
or keep it small if you want your curls to be tighter.
And this is what I'm talking about, my hair.
It's just damaged. It's just -- ugh. It's just straight.
She's wavy. She's wavy.
So I'm just conditioning my hair with a leave-in
from Kinky-Curly.
And once I have my leave-in, I'm going to style with
some setting lotion.
And this is what's going to set the curl in place
with the rag ties.
So I start at the ends of my hair, making sure that the end
really does curl around the rag, and just work my way down.
♪ ♪
And that is it, guys.
That is all that this video was made for.
You do this rag tie around your entire head.
♪ ♪
And once you're done, you can go to sleep with these.
That's why I like the rag tie method over a flexi-rod,
because I can sleep and not break my neck.
♪ ♪
So the next day, if you have short hair, it should be dry.
My hair is actually on the damper side,
so I'm going to undo the tie, keeping the curl.
So I don't want to fiddle with it too much.
♪ ♪
Now, because it is still a little damp,
I'm going to use my blow dryer
and a stocking to diffuse the air.
I can't find my diffuser. But a stocking works just perfect.
All I'm trying to do is diffuse the air so it's not so harsh
on my curls, destroying them.
Once it's dry, I'm going to take this Moroccan oil
and work it throughout my hair to give it that nice sheen.
That shiny shiny.
♪ ♪
And then add a little accessory. Get your life. Eighties.
♪ ♪
Work.

Well, that's what I did to look like this.
It's a significant difference.
I was rocking this wave-like mushroom look, and now
she's giving you natural-girl cute little mini-Afro
with a little shape up, down here.
This is really helpful if, one, you have straight hair,
two, you have damaged hair, and three, if you have short hair.
So yeah, if you like this video, make sure you like this video.
