It's so annoying that we have to go through all of this JUST to put our hair in a nice ponytail 😂 lol but you gotta love curly hair

[@befree3634]

LunaCloud333 It's NOT annoying. That's what White People taught you! It's just YOUR hair! It's beautiful. It's Perfect. It's NOT difficult, stressful nor ANNOYING to do. Remove these White Supremacist terms from your vocabulary ASAP.

[@delilahfleharty8393]

@@befree3634 I love my hair and I have type 4, but it is annoying to have to put it manipulate it a bit to get it to lay down if it's a certain style I'm going for. It has nothing to do with what white people taught us nor is it a supremacy idea. Unless you have type 4 hair, it's safe to say that you have no clue what you're talking about.

I'm cracking up at "4Z" but yeah, I don't know if my hair will do this either... I'll try though. I get so discouraged doing my own hair these days, its exhausting lol

[@Ayaforshort]

I tried this, I have this 4c Nigerian hair 😫, and I think my hair is just still too short. It looked good for a bit after I took the scarf off, but it frizzed right up. Tried again with a blow dry to straighten it a bit first... nope. I'll try again in a couple months when I get some more inches lol

[@brownskingirl2101]

Girrrrllll!! Grim reminder of my senior high school days (1984) we used a good brush, water, a thick pomade(hair grease like Sulfur 8) a good "head tie" (gel for thick hard to tame hair) and sleek bun n kept it moving! We got press (straightening) or very mild kiddie relaxers to tame hair for for Prom and Graduation and never lost the thickness and health of our hair. Happy to see younger ladies taking such awesome care of your beautiful locs! My granddaughter howls at the water grease and head tie chronicles!

[@CreativeWan]

Brown Girl yes yes, I graduated in '84 as well and that is how we did it too. All of us girls carried lighters in our purse too because we would take Wet and Wild black liners, stick the pencil tip in the flame, blow it then line our eyes with it. Did you do that too, lol?

I’m Arab, I don’t have your hair type..means I can’t really relate, but for some reason it’s so satisfying to watch your hair videos! You seem so nice and protective with your hair❤️ (Edit: I wrote arabic instead of arab, sorry English is my third language)

[@MPam1619]

Isn't "arabic" the language? Anyway, the original Arabs were African people, so many do have some degree of this hair type. I've visited Egypt and Saudi Arabia and have seen the evidence first hand.

[@LTee313]

You're Arabic? I thought that was a language .

[@sharonm-a7580]

U are correct u are arab u speak arabic.

Yess to an updated version of this slick bun look. Girll this video and your previous ones on this topic changed my life. After doing it once, using your videos a couple of years ago, it only takes me on average like 15 mins to do after freshly washing my hair, and that's impressive for 4b hair! Istruggled to do this style all my life prior to your videos sis lol. I love this video because it gave more detail/visual on how you did the back ponytail before adding the front of your hair.

[@215welivee]

Lol I have to do the same thing to get my hair sleek and to lay down cuz it’s soo curly. Just happy someone else knows my struggle.

I mean eco styler first ingredient is water 🌚

[@tayloralliease1473]

[@nellyuchiha5155]

usually when water is the first ingredient it’s a higher possibility that it’s going to revert the hair or define it

Got2b glue flakes so much I mean like do not use that on your hair your going to be very disappointed

[@IsimemeEdeko]

AYYYYYEEE TUTU!! WELCOME TO BEAUTEGANG BOO!!

[@queenbeethatme1009]

Look at that curl/wave pattern. Trust and BELIEVE there are some curl patterns that will NOT lay, not even with 4 jars of Ampro gel. I used to do hair and that laying with a hair piece was all the rage in the early 1970s (yes, her hairstyle is very retro). Some people came in to get that look with a puff. Those b b shots/kookaburrs/naps would NOT lay down. I remember this one chick. We tried everything...everyone in the shop was chipping in. Finally, we pressed her hair, then laid it..for the day. Sweat brought her back to her natural pattern. Gorgeous work..but it is not practical for girls with wavy or 4a hair to act like 4c will lay like that. If it lays like that..it probably is NOT 4c to begin with. This may be great for 4a and 4b though. But is it healthy?

[@slayernae87]

That got 2 be glue is the key to sleeking my unruly edges down! This is exactly how I slay my sleek buns, love the vid!!

Only thing I did different was I did a middle part instead of a side. Thanks again!

Let me tell you something...you just saved my life! I just combed my locs out that I've had for 11 years, and I couldn't figure out how to pull all this hair back because its so big. I was rocking 2 buns like an 8yr old last week and almost gave up after a week being natural (I had perms my whole life until I started my locs). great video

[@RahimahUnwrapped]

I mix eco styler and got2be gel in a container and use that to sleek my buns

[@annecuthers5723]

I feel like this style is wayyy easier on dry hair....I do mine really easy and it comes out sleek. I have a back section and three front sections, . I spray the roots of the back back with water, add my moisturizer(eden bodyworks pudding),add jbco, then my shea butter mix. Then this is the KEY...get one of those $1,$2 shampoo brushes from the bss and brush your hair down. ponytail and repeat for the next section. I only run the shampoo brush through the roots but since the front sleeks all the way over I detangle fully through with the brush. I also use a bristle brush for the very top. I do a curved side part and I only have to add gel to those front sections. That brush really makes the hair smooth. I also like the eco black castor for slicking my hair bc it doesn't dry hard like the argan and it leaves my hair with a lot of shine.
