How To: Sleek Low Bun | for THICK/ KINKY Hair | Natural Hair

Okay BEAUTÈS, "Now let's get in Formation!" I have discovered this BRILLIANT technique to slick down even the thickest, coarsest hair textures out there thanks to "IamDatNaturalGirl" here on KZbin! Since forever I envied not being able to truly slick and sleek down my curly hair like those with looser textures (such as 3B and lower). The maintenance of their hair type and the process they go thru to "Fleek" their style takes WAYYYYY less effort than those of us with 3C and higher textures, BUT finally I've found a solution to our problem! I hop this tutorial can be both helpful and beneficial to you guys the way it is for me!

I tried this and I must say this method gave me the sleekest results but due to my hair type, I look should be on the packaging for wave caps because when I say my waves be on swim. I'm not lying. Lol, but I guess that's as sleek as my hair can get.

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Lol well im glad it semi work for ya! haha ;)

[@Boss_etc853]

Jessica DeAnna my waves was swimming, lmao they kept going.

[@JessicaDeAnna]

vivi_ etc might as well embrace it. 😂

[@user-lt7pf6zc2v]

Jessica DeAnna this is true like when I do buns with jell it always ends up all curly and wavy af. It never gets slick. This is the only way my hair some what slick

[@TuscanWonder]

This just encouraged me enough again to try this shit as it was a total fail from another tutorial this week. I have a mix of very coarse(thick-stranded) 4a(mostly 4b) curls that will NOT slick down. No sleekness at all. I'm sure I'll use half a bucket of gel and some oil, but I'm about to swim as good as I can.

[@soleilove1037]

the fact that she slayed this and helped out a struggling natural made me sub but the MJ in the background to girl yasssa lol

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Lmao I'm so glad you enjoyed/ this video helped you out! & thanks for the sub boo ;) Welcome to the fam!

[@iheartTH1203]

In the middle of watching this, I started laughing because I started thinking about how wild it is that we gotta go through all of this just to get a sleeked down ponytail. Shoot, I can't even put my hair in a ponytail without manipulating it in some kinda crazy way. BTW your hair looked really nice in the end.

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Lmaoo that is pretty funny when u think about it! Thanks love!

[@amourlashai]

This is by far one of the best ways I've seen this done for us type 4 THICK NATURAL HAIR GIRLS! This way makes so much sense! I love it! Thank you so much for for sharing! 😍

[@bjay1922]

Ooooh Yes!!!! THANK YOU💕 I hv some 😯disrespectful 😯4b,4c but I'm about to get some respect on this journey 😂😉😉😉

[@IsimemeEdeko]

[@gomes3270]

[@lizzyworldwide]

Finally a video about slicking kinky hair down... almost EVERY other video is done by women with "easy" hair - and their methods DON'T work for us. THANK YOU!

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Yes girl ik! That's why i had to put on the rest of my fellow thick haired naturals so we can ALL SLAY & get in formation lmao ;) Glad it was helpful boo!

[@a.morganlyles564]

I've been on this journey of not pressing my hair for about a month and your video is by far the best I've seen for thick kinky hair. I will continue to try to get my hair sleek. Continue posting and thanks!!

[@chelseag4ytube]

This is amazing!!! I have 3b/3c hair, and it's super thick, so I always get that weird hump in the back. I love your divide and conquer method! Great tutorial

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Yes girlllll, i always used to suffer from "the hump" as well lol but this method saved my life! haha glad you found it helpful love!

[@ToyaMel]

Yasss MJ playing in the back 😻😻

[@EuniqueAlexus]

Love this method! 💞

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Thanks so much "sissy" haha ;)

[@muchluvmcdaniel6230]

Girl that ponytail just gave me so much life 🙌🏾 #Love

[@shelanteshoals3903]

my 14 yr old has super duper thick hair and we BOTH got so frustrated when it came time to do her a low bun. this helped us SO much and works for a high bun too! thx!

[@shockinshelly]

So glad I stumbled across your channel while looking for bun tutorials, I will practice this technique tonight in preparation for a job interview later on in the week. New sub and thanks!

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Yassss go get that job girl! haha & SLAYYYYY lol Oh! & thanks for the boo Sug! Welcome to the fambam!

[@11mariah11]

shockinshelly did you get the job??

[@SweetAshou123]

OMG I LOVE YOU I swear with my 3C/4A hair it's hard to get my hair all the way slick I'm for sure doing this method !!!❤️❤️❤️

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Ayyyyeeee, got head and SLAY boo!! ;) and love ya too hair twin

[@Queen-gd9pk]

Yasss rocking that background song MJ FOREVER for a second i thought it was me playing it great video girl

[@savchaal]

you're definitely my fave natural hair youtuber! ❤

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Awwwhhh this literally just made my night! I really, truly appreciate that love! Thanks so much

[@tunisiabelle621]

Omg girl !!! Thick hair team! I have the same struggle and I use and do all the steps you do . I use castor oil and 24 hour edge tamer to keep it down ALL day . 3C and 4A too ❤️ I'm just so happy to see all this black girl magic lawddd 😍doing this style tonight

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Lol thanks so much boo!

[@nicoleyvette9819]

I can do the hairstyle but it would mean lots of combing because my hair is very thick and I have tons of it. This video was really helpful because you really showed how to make it real sleek.

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Glad it was helpful love

[@Pestopasta_]

Favourite natural hair youtuber by far😩❤️

[@IsimemeEdeko]

*blushes* Thank you thank you thank you my love! So so glad my videos are helpful to you!

[@LonyeaMaiden]

I love your hair videos!!! I RARELY do my own hair, but when I need an idea, I always run to your channel! Love you girl! ❤

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Awwhhh thanks so much beaute! That's so sweet of you! Congrats on your KZbin journey thus far too btw ;) Keep grindin, keep slayin

[@biancalasalle9214]

I never seen people do subsections when laying down their thick natural hair. It's sooooo much safer for your hair than just ramming the brush over and over in the same spot . Great video !

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Exacttttllllyyyy ;)& Glad you enjoyed boo!

[@ToyaMel]

Wow watching this video is so inspirational ! You’ve come along way! Your hair has grown so muchhh, omg! I’m always watching your snaps and your growth and progression is amazing!!💞😻💯🙌🏿

[@DNGH814]

One of these days I will find the patience to do this method with my hair, I'm so lazy because my hair is so thick and it doesn't lay down for nothing LOL. I'll brush it up in a ponytail and people will give me compliments and I'm thinking to myself(if you only knew i didnt detangle this mane for 3 weeks) lol 3c/4a

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Lol it's honestly not as tedious as it may look girl lol plus brushes tend to pull out our hair w/out us being aware so be careful with that! Haha but the way you're describing your hair... sounds like you got a lion's mane to tame! Lol #MayGodBeWithYou ;)

[@DNGH814]

+Halfrican Beaute is a lion's mane just think of Cree Summer but a little thicker lol. My hair is bra strap length(almost mbl) when straightened

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Lawwwddd have mercy! Lol girrrrllll I see your dilemma

[@alexisharris7158]

Girrrrrl omg you are Heaven sent . I finally can do a cute bun on my head ! Please do more videos , you're awesome ! ❤️

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Yassssss!! Got head a slay now boo! ;) & more coming soon!

[@charivari85]

I never would have thought of this technique - I'm trying it tomorrow. Thanks!😊

[@IsimemeEdeko]

SLAAAYYYY huntyyyyy ;) & no problem boo!

[@b.nicole5203]

Omg thank you! I’ve finally found a video that’s exactly for my hair type but most importantly thickness!

[@rapl7ne74]

If I didn't have a damn five head...

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Boo, 5 heads don't stop the slayage! You can slay this style no doubt! & if the part down the middle ain't for u, I have a tutorial up on my channel of the same method but with a deep side part which will "take away" from the 5 head issue if u really have a problem with it, but don't let your forehead stop you from killing the game boo! ;)

[@tunisiabelle621]

A deep side part with a classy swoop will do you justice 😍Rihanna is good inspo

[@wynterb9609]

I feel u

[@aly6876]

I'llholdthisl same

[@tvlover101]

I tried it and it worked!! I love this method and especially with my hair type .

[@NubianLDN]

Nice tip for using the rat tail comb at the roots to make it easier

[@calahgrimes]

Hair is so polished and neat! Thanks for making a method for us thick- hair women! Your videos just get better and better! Keep it coming girl!

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Awwwhh OMG! Thanks so much my love!

[@vamp_mon7904]

THANK YOU. I hope u are blessed by God because you just helped me with my kinky 4c hair.

[@LaurenArias]

I finally found my true hair twin, density and all 😍

[@CoachShaunie]

Never thought of using a fine tooth comb to lay the hair. Great idea. Gotta try that out. Thanks for sharing.

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Right?!! Lol this method "saved my life" haha not really but it really is a great technique! & you're oh so welcome boo!

[@keonnabell-carter267]

11111111111111111 Ooooh iollllooo9

[@jalexa76]

I am going to try this method. this definitely seems like it will work on people with thicker textured hair. I will let you guys know how it works for me. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@IsimemeEdeko]

No problem boo! Hope it worked out for ya ;)

[@constancegomez351]

You did great job! Im glad you did not use heat.

[@meronayele3489]

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Yasssss, it works amazing on thick hair!!

[@imeldaalumonah4302]

Omg, thank God I saw this technique. Had to come on here to figure out how to lay my hair down for tomorrow, and this was the most helpful. New subscriber here too🖖🏽✌🏽️. Keep being Amazing hun❤️

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Perfect timing! lol so glad u found my video boo & that it was helpful! Im already known you slayed! & Ayyyyeeee, welcome to the fammmbaammmm!!! & thanks so much love!

[@princessnoel1022]

yass she slayed ive been looking for a hairstyle and now ive found one for ma hair

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Thanks bby girl! ;) Glad it was helpful

[@curlynella1011]

A scarf makes a world of difference. It will make the hair lay down 10 times better and that's what people don't realize. They well put all sorts of gels and pomades and wonder why their edges are actually laid. This is the secret touch😍

[@princessbee6849]

best video, finally got my sleek due to this video!!!

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Yassssss! Thanks sug

[@GracefullyKaren]

Really nice look. Sleek indeed. Thank you for sharing ✨😊
