I stick my stump through the elastic you have to be willing to find the light
though you have to be willing to believe in yourself and to believe in your story
and to believe that there's more that we're going through and that what you're
going through is going to bring you further into who you're supposed to be
and your calling and find the good in it hey guys welcome back to my channel if
it's your first time here my name is Kristie Sita and I post videos every
Wednesday and Fridays today guys we are tackling a big one today we're showing
I always talk about my person like a we like there was no one else on this
team but me I, I am showing you guys how I put my hair up with one hand because
as you guys know I always literally always have either a high ponytail a bun
a scrunchie ponytail or some sort of something because I've rarely ever have
my full hair down so today I'm gonna show you how I do both a bun and a
ponytail I guess they're the same process but not we're gonna start this
off and we're gonna do a ponytail let's start with the ponytail ready three two
one okay so for my ponytail I start with just brushing on my hair back you know
they're enough to forgive me for looking in my mirror finder because I'm trying
to do my hair and it's hard enough to do with one hand but then to not see it and
do it with one hand you can forgive me this one time and then from here I like
stick my stump behind my head then I lift it up
so now all of my hair is pretty much resting on the length of my arm you can
see my stumps kind of coming out this side here so from there I just kind of
keep that holding up and then I start to grab everything with my remaining hand
and really like that's why I say that this bottom part of my arm saves me by
so much because I'm always using it and like for this part and literally just
rests up on there again and of course from being a dancer I'm like cursed with
the no such thing as a loose pony like everything has to be like that so that's
that process now I'm just holding it back there as they take oh yeah that
happens a lot I'm not sorry for it yeah
okay so from here now I'm going to show you how I actually get my elastic over
top of my hair and make the pony tail so this is step one as I'm just holding
it up step two go here step three is I'm gonna wrap this around
my hair first like this as you can see it my stump is kind of pushing it up now
I stick my stump through the elastic
twist it go back around back around
and the last one is actually the hardest one you just have to pull it through and
then to tighten it I just actually pulled the little strands so a couple of
different strands from around and guys that's how I do my high pony so
sometimes I will just put it in a pony like this and then I'll take my next
elastic this I get and just wrap let me just wrap my hair around it like that do
the same thing here and now it's a bun so really I'm just always using pretty
much that same strategy of holding my hair up with my stump or holding my hair
down when I'm doing the bun with my stump and it's always kind of one of those two
strategies the only other way which I will show you next is when I don't put
it in a ponytail first and I just go for the bun right away which really I'm just
twisting the hair which you will see but again huge props to other amputees that
don't have as much arm as me because I cannot even imagine what you go through
like that is absolutely insane because I use all of this especially the end part
to wrap my ponytails around it it's how I do it I'm super super blessed to have
so much my arm left that I can make this done pretty simply and really like this
was one of the big things that as a dancer I really I felt like I needed to
figure it out because I was getting so frustrated having to make somebody else
do my hair having my parents do my hair having my sister do my hair or in class
even worse having to have my friends do my hair and then it was frustrating
because since I'm used to like such a slick head and they would always do it
too loose because they were trying to be kind and not hurt me but for me I was
just like I just want a tight pony and nothing more that's all I want is for
like my scalp to hurt because my phone tail is so tight shout out to Becky
because she was the only one that actually got it to be perfect and
Chanelle was you know you were pretty good too so thank you but this was one of
those things that I was like I just need to figure it out and it was a lot of
trial and error I used to actually really really long hair in case you guys
saw that in my old accident photos especially with kind of figuring out
these type of things it was it was much harder to handle more hair while putting
it up so I was a big reason why I had really shortened her for a couple years
there yeah this was one of my biggest challenges but I had to overcome right
away like this was the first thing that I was like I gotta do my hair
I got a bath wash my hair and do my hair those are my three things that I really
was like super determined to get rid of oh and shoelaces shoelaces are very
important Oh, bless me. yeah so this was one of the first things that I
learned and then there's one other way that I would do my hair up so I'm gonna
do that one now pretty much to take this out you just always reverse for this one
I would use both my ponytails at once so good luck yeah that's kind of
just my last strategy that I'm just if I don't really care what it looks like and
it doesn't need to be super slicked back I will just twirl it up there like you saw
and then put the ponytail over top of that instead of worrying about doing the
pony and then the bun this is just a quicker way that sometimes when I don't
care if I get like fuzzles things like that, that I'll do. but yeah that's kind
of how I do my hair so if you guys liked this video don't forget to give it a big
