hey youtube my name is Lea today I'm gonna be showing you guys my basic
everyday braid outs we aren't gonna use this to kind of refresh my hair because
it is a little bit dry so this is just a Lovera juice 100% organic aloe vera
juice and water it's just a 50/50 mix and I just use this to moisturize my
hair and to refresh it before I do any more styling then the leave-in that I'm
going to be using is as Cantu shea butter and I'm going to be using this
flaxseed along gating curling gel ever since I started adding this into my
braid out routine my braid outs has been way more defined and I just love it so
much better because then I my great house looks good for the entire week
whereas not just one or two days yes so this is already pre-made store-bought
foxy gel too lazy to make myself feel it I'm gonna be using just pull Maine shea
butter that I bought in Geneva at like an African shot Denman knockoff called
Donna and I have some scrunchies hair ties whatever so
anyways let's do this so first things first is lice detangle and fluff out
this hair like check that out yeah so
now we got half my hair is probably the worst section ever but we're not worried
about that at all and then we're gonna do that in half I'm just gonna clip that
one away so let's work on this one first things first with the aloe vera /
water we're just gonna spritz it I love this spray bottle because it literally
mists my hair because you don't want it to be drenched you want don't like the
you don't want your hair to be drenched for this you just want it to get some of
that moisture back in there so that's about all that I need for that and then
I'm going to put in some of the leave-in before I detangle it's variant or aunt
to have some type of conditioner in your hair before you detangle like do not go
at it with dry hair another trick that I learned is to like push the product into
your hair rather than like just going like this that's what is that doing you
know so like push the product into your hair alright let's do this with my
knockoff and denim brush I'm gonna start at the ends and get on in there I do not
brush my hair
I brush my hair maybe maybe once a month and that's not a good luck
I just finger detangle and I know I know like as you can see my hair is literally
tangled as hell because yeah I don't brush it that often because to mainly
prevent breakage
okay so to be honest that's probably as good as it's gonna get
um so I'm just gonna kind of finger it finger and detangle the rest as you can
see it is it's alright it's decent this is about as good as we're gonna get
y'all someday I will learn to brush my hair but that day
alright so that section is done so this is actually just gonna be one braid the
way I do my braid outs is I do actually like them to be more big than a small
that's just me I like to have big chunky braids ups I just like the look better
so this is going to be one braid the next I'm gonna get some foxy gel not too
much probably looks like a lot and get that in there once again kind of push
that in there and then I'm going to get some of this lovely whipped shea butter
from Geneva Rome into my hands and then I'm actually with this I start at the
ends because that's really the most important part and once again you guys
need to be using a butter or cream to seal in all that moisture girl there we
have it that section is ready to go so let's abrade I don't do nothing fancy
I'm the litter just going to braise so put these
sections in three and then let's do it rate these so you're going to want to
kind of squeeze after every one I get to be and I just get some more of this
flaxseed gel and put it on the ends oops that is way too much right there
I hit my denim brush and then I kind of come I kind of comb through the end so
sorry for all the hair on my down so sorry for the hair in the brush I
know it looks gross I'm trying to get it out
and then as you can see it kind of curls up on its own already but then I'm just
going to twist it around a little bit more and then it is a perfect curl tada
this is really important so that your ends are not frizzy and your braids out
like nobody wants that you don't want that problem like you don't just don't
so do this do this and then that's it oh that is how I do my braids out so now I
am going to do the rest of my hair
now I am going to show you how I do the front because I still have so much hair
oh so much hair it's exhausting so one thing that I do that I have found that
helps is to do the braids in according to according to the way you want to part
your hair again and then I'm going to work on this bad boy right here and I'm
going to make two braids out of this okay goodness I am finally at the last
section of my hair I'll do this video I realized how my face is so much lighter
than my neck I went on holiday I went to Portugal and I got super tan
so it's not that I don't know how to match my makeup it's just again once you
get to the bottom we're going to get some more boxy gel get it on the ends of
this we're gonna get the your brush come through it just to bring those curls
through that's all it's about bring those curls out where they are
there they are and then we're going to twist them around sometimes if you have
too much gel it doesn't work like at the moment you just kind of pop it and look
another beautiful pop in alright so this is the last part of my hair game so I'm
always excited to get to the end so far
seven so it looks like I'm gonna end up with eight great for this right now and
usually that is actually as much as I do I don't like to do too much more as part
of my hair is the most damaged part of my head and I hate this part of my hair
because the curls do not stay because it's damaged I have a lot of heat
damaged because when I dry water we use a lot it was like left out and then I
went straighten it all the time and it was dry so as you can see there's a
clear line of demarcation so this down is literally just a dead it needs to go
and as you can see like here it's thick and healthier because this is all the
new growth but here down is literally just dead it won't curl
I am trimming it every month I do trim like an inch off I haven't cut it all
the way because whenever I do my style it would look so horrible if it was
right here because as you can see so if I cut it this braid would probably be up
to here whereas all the other braids are down here so then like whenever you see
it tomorrow when you see it out it's like falls nicely but
it would not follow my sleep but it's getting there
every time every month I cut like an inch off so slowly and surely all this
will be gone but for now it's here and I'm so annoyed with it so I'm actually
over it I'm actually about to cut off like an inch right now because it's a
waste they need to go okay so now we're going to use a curl farmer because this
my dear is not going to curl at all so I got a cross warmer curling rod around up
pretty high because like I said this part of my hair is dead literally just
gonna give them a little last spritz and then also at this time is when I own my
scalp because it's kind of easier to reach and I'm using this castor oil
potential oil serum
a little bit I'm gonna put it on my scalp it's just easier to do it they're
trying to get through my hair I always do it right now because I could actually
reach my scalp before I go to sleep I need to wrap my hair somewhat and
protect it so since my braids are a little bit long I can't just put them in
my my satin scarf because what they do is they crumpled up and then my braids
or my braids out does not look good so what I do I'll try to show you in the
back is I kind of grab some of these right in there and I put all my bonnets
gone and then it's time and I'll see you guys in the morning with the results
okay so it is the next morning I'm going to take my bonnet and I'm going to start
to take down this hair the only thing I do beforehand is I use some oil so this
just makes sure that your braids are not frizzy when you take them out so I just
put a little bit of oil on my fingers
you have it you have one very defined braid out okay so this is my last braid
that doesn't curl so I'm really nervous to see what is happening here
okay so now all of the braids are out now but this is not I don't just go like
this so really you need to separate the curls now to make it look better I like
- still say super defined so I separate them maybe like one so I'm gonna zoom in
and show you guys that
okay so now that I have pretty much separated most of them that is actually
it to take my pick and kind of fluff up the room so I'm definitely going to mess
with it some more and just kind of get it to where I like it so far this is it
you want to try this I would love to see results and if you like videos like this
and wanna see more then it definitely give me a thumbs up on this video and
subscribe to my channel and I'll see you in the next one bye
