Simple Wash Day Style For Natural Hair | Sleek Low Banded Ponytail

Here's how I achieve a low sleek ponytail/sleek bun on freshly washed hair. It's a great style if you need to wash your hair and leave your house looking cute in a couple of hours. It's also a great way to dry and stretch your hair while looking great. This is my to-go for a lot of formal events, I like to serve my face in all it's glory lol

Am I the only one who gets so excited when Laila makes a new video?? 🤗

[@FusionofCultures]

lol Thank you! Will try to keep you excited as much as possible 😘

[@ShaBeautii]

Nope not at all ! Lol

[@dvw10021]

Aaah yes, banded ponytails is a great style to wear when you don't have a clue what to do with your hair. A MUST hairstyle, love it!!😋😘

[@shaquanaandrews4632]

Thats right yall we were served lol..Laila your so fly...and always beautiful. Thanks for the video.

[@FusionofCultures]

lmao! 😂 Thanks girl!

[@vicwan5411]

+FusionofCultures Heya girl...you probably already answered this question but what hair type are you

[@Dreamgirlhav]

When you want a sleek ponytail, but your thick 4c hair ain't trying to hear it....lol. I guess i can live vicariously through this video. Love it ♡♡♡

[@FusionofCultures]

Sis! I've seen the thickest of 4c hair ladies do it.. Defo do a search on youtube 🤗 Dont give up

[@aminad9337]

Hoo please if i have someone in particular you can recomand us

[@The.Whoever]

Hina Han Lydia from Lydia and Alma on KZbin did it. Her hair isn't as long but she did it. I can't remember which video but it's either how to lay 4c edges or Lydia' s fro tutorial were she did this style. She uses this method to stretch her hair.

[@shonda79able]

I'm 4c. You can make this happen. I promise you.

[@theycallmemrskelly3575]

I didn't think the banded ponytail would look good on my hair because it's only shoulder length. By the time I finished and put the bands on my hair it came out so nice!!! The bands stretched my ponytail and my entire sleek ponytail looks so polished on my shoulder length hair. I'm so glad I found you again! Here's to restarting my healthy natural hair journey! Thank you, Laila!

[@mrod87]

Literally my favorite style to 1. Dry my hair for a stretched roller set or 2. Put my already stretched hair away before i wash it. Super under rated hair style. I love that i can take the first anchor ponytail out when I’m home so there’s no tension and without messing up that style. I just put the ponytail holder back.

[@emandeni]

So today I used this technique to put in a ponytail. I have super thick hair. I dont know why I haven't thought of this technique in the 5 years of being natural. Thank you so much!!

[@consciouslynatural1276]

The true Queen of Natural Hair styling. I've binge watched your videos since embarking on my healthy hair journey and joined the notification crew. You never disappoint. Such a natural beauty. ❤️❤️❤️

[@FusionofCultures]

Oh tenk you!!!!! I'm humbled 😘💕

[@spacediof]

Ooh yes I love it, simple, protective and still cute

[@FusionofCultures]

Thank you Romae 🌺

[@TylerMorgann]

Hair twin! My hair is similar to yours. It’s very thick, dense, and long! To my lower back when stretched . This video was so helpful, I’m going to try this on my hair.

[@chrystalloyd9119]

I don’t know how I missed your low bun video but that thick hair ponytail hack is giving me life for wash day coming up. Thanks lady!!

[@ritaamayo1972]

The queen 👑 of natural hair styling i be watching your video since my natural hair journey i just did my 2 year length check few days ago thanks for sharing alway looking beautiful

[@KiraiBK]

My favorite things: low maintenance style (ponytail) and low manipulation. This is a must once I make some elastics. Giving me Sade vibes. Your make up looked beautiful too.

[@monicaboston8123]

Can I just tell you, I love this hairstyle! So simple yet so any occasion. I also like the stretched, non-tangled, blow out effect on my hair after taking it down a couple days later! Thanks for sharing!

[@sbl5833]

I would love to see how the takedown looks! Given all of the banding I️ would think that it would give this beautiful wave. Love it!😍

[@petrinegordon]

Finally someone does it, I've been looking for natural protective styles to do the day I wash my hair.

[@Everlycece]

The ponytail is so gorgeous on you

[@FusionofCultures]

Thank you!

[@tonettechinaturale5045]

Luv, Luv this simple sophisticated ponytail. This is going to be my summer signature do. Thanks Laila

[@amaadu568]

Frankly speaking...she is naturally gorgeous even without makeup ❤️

[@J_Boogie890]

Yes to the hair! 😍😍😍 And double yes to the music!!! 🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@FusionofCultures]

lol Glad you like both! 💃

[@MikeySmithFTLOM]

Thank you ❤️💯 FTLOM - For The Love Of Music

[@geadonnamoore2719]

Beast!! Just plain ol' beast. You whipped that hair back and forth hunty!!

[@FusionofCultures]

lol 😂 Thank you! 🌺💕

[@xxsvaxx]

This is so weird, I literally watched your sleek bun tutorial today as a reference for a look I’m doing on Saturday. And then you came and uploaded this! Perfect timing - so glad to see you’re back.

[@cookiedough080175]

Hands down the cutest updo ever...I will definitely be trying this!!!

[@maimunakimuli]

Really like this hairstyle and the fact that the gel didn't stiffen your hair. I might have to try the Curls jelly now!

[@spxrklz]

The room is so nice!

[@MzKinkyCurl]

Ok now if I had the length, I’d be set!!! Love the videos!!

[@FusionofCultures]

lol Thank you! If you really like the look you can try with with some marley hair too

[@MsLakesy]

Lovely!! I use a banded ponytail as my protective style under my wigs. I typically do it on wash day while in the shower.

[@RashlaAdams]

Tried this style for the first time. This is a game changer for me :)

[@zktngub7617]

Girl, I live for the music featured in your vlogs ...soothed

[@OneFootNFront]

My sister used to do this style all the time! Love it!

[@selinaBARMAR2565]

You are beautiful, your hair is beautiful and the hairstyle is beautiful. This is one of my favorite styles too. In fact, I'm addicticted to this style because is simple, easy on your hair and looks good for any occassion.

[@TheNenaBrown]

Just BEAUTIFUL! You AND your hair!! 😍

[@casablancalily822]

Thanks for sharing wash day styles. I usually stay in the house all weekend with twists because I don't want to take them out while they are wet. I am going to try the style and the tip of applying the Blueberry Bliss to avoid the white cast from the gel.

[@realjane7701]

Your hair is so beautiful. Love your channel it promotes us African girls embracing our hair n skin

[@FusionofCultures]

Thank you and yes! We are beyond magnificent ✨✨

[@rinasolyrical]

Hey @Laila our hair texture and length are very similar. Do you get really bad frizz even with gel. My hair tends to curl up on top and not lay down 😂.

[@sontiaw]

Such a classic beauty!😫😍

[@TheNesquix]

I am sooooo happy you are back. You are such an inspiration. You have helped my hair in ways that you can't even imagine. Anywhoooo. I noticed that you had a protective style in while you were on your trip. I was wondering If you could please do a tutorial on what you do prior to braiding, how you maintain both the braids and your natural hair while it is in a protective style and what you do to keep your natural hair from breaking while and after you have taken the braids out. Thank you

[@FusionofCultures]

Hey! Happy to be back 😊 I literally put the braids in for the sole purpose of the trip so I only had them in for 2 weeks. In that time I sprayed it a few times with my curls coconut milk or water leave-in spray thingy lol... Prior to it, I did my SheaBiscus Rainforest smoothie treatment and I did a light blow out for my braider. When I took them down, I detangled and moisturised. Put in some chunky twist and wore headwraps for a week to allow my scalp to readjust from the tension as I don't usually wear extensions. That was it! I jumped back into my regular routine after.

[@TheNesquix]

FusionofCultures thank you so much for the fast reply Laila, you are awesome!

[@tycor3]

This is LITERALLY my hairstyle right now. I did it last night 🙌🏾 Excited for your upload! It’s always worth it.

[@FusionofCultures]

Thanks Megan! Great minds 😉👯

[@Katice634]

This is how my hair was last week. It's my go to style too. Especially when I'm not sure what to do with my hair.👍🏾

[@Renee11123]

I love how simple your style is. My hair is super thick and I could not put it in a smooth ponytail such as yours right out of the shower. Great inspiration to me 🥰

[@tonieastman9768]

Laila! Thank you so much for this style. I tried it right away, and guess what? I also did it on a Sunday morning before church. lol It was a tremendous success and I received so much positive feedback. I was able to keep it sleek the full week. This style came in handy these last few cold wintery days. You're the best! Thanks again!

[@FusionofCultures]

Yay! Toni you've made me smile... this is why I make videos, thank you for coming back and sharing with me. God bless you 🌺💕

[@MizzBFlye]

I do my daughter’s hair like this a lot, we call it the “Princess Jasmine” style. Love your videos!🤗🤗

[@SyreetaKing]

Hair and make-up on point Laila-Jean. Make-up tutorial would be nice for this flawless look too. Black Girl Beauty

[@loliatamuno5262]

Thanks for sharing. This is my after wash day hair style or my night time hairstyle sometimes, to stretch my hair.

[@bubblepopluv1666]

Those eyes😍😍 We love you Laila! You're a young, lovely, cultured and intelligent representation of our community. Keep representing chica, so proud of you! 🤗

[@FusionofCultures]

Thank you so much for blessing me with such beautiful words! God bless you 😘

[@michellefonville5326]

Laila, I’m so glad that you uploaded this video!!!!! I love this style!!

[@sher-at-home]

You do the best sliced ponytails.

[@jasminewilcox9361]

Yesss! I have thick hair too, this def a hair hack on this ponytail..n love!

[@kitkat8]

I'm definitely going to try this method! I love a low sleek pony but I do it once in a blue moo because it's too much tension on my edges. I have a LOT of thick hair and to compact it....it's a lot of work. Thanks so much for this. Bless up.

[@kitkat8]

[@reikomyles1495]
