Hey, guys! So I had a few requests on how I did my hairstyle in the grey and black smoky eye video and I thought I’ll just do a quick tutorial. I’m going to show you how I did it. It takes me probably about five minutes to do my whole hair and I have a lot of hair and it’s really, really thick.
But anyways, I used the Conair instant heat. It’s great because it has two buttons here. The first one is just to turn it on and the second one is if you want the heat to be done in like 30 seconds. So if you’re on the go, this is usually the perfect curling iron. I don’t know if they still sell this. I got this like three years ago but anyways, let’s just get started.
So all you need is a curling iron and a hair tie. So what I do is, I take layers of my hair at a time and I usually just take away three layers. So put you know this up in a bun, the messy bun and then just take a wand of hair. And then curl outward. This is a technique I learned from my friend Celis and you kind of want your hair to look like a natural curl so you don’t get the top and you let it there for a few seconds and you let it down. And I’m doing a reverse. How do I say this, the other direction, I’m curling in opposite direction so it looks a little more natural curls rather than having it because natural curl, they don’t curl all in the same direction, right. They’re kind of random.
So this one, I’m curling outward, this piece and I’ll let you know some of the ends stay uncurled and we pull it down and make sure you have your curling iron vertical. Okay, so I’m already done with this layer then you go on your second layer. Tie this one up in a bud and then you curl out. And start from the middle of your hair. So here, I’m going to opposite direction again. I start in the middle. Curl in, open up your curler, curl in, open up your curler, curl in.
So again, the 3 step process
Step one, place the curling iron on the middle of the hair strand
Step two, curl inwards (or outwards, depending on which strand you’re on), then pull out, and curl inwards again
Step three, hold for a few seconds, pull down. Then go outward again. Wait for a few seconds and then pull up.
I do my bang last by the way because this is the trickiest. Okay, I’m done with my bangs. Okay, that doesn’t look good. No, that’s not working for me. Let’s try again.
Okay, see now that kind of works for me. It’s always tricky with the bangs. I never know how it’s going to turn out. So anyway, that is it and I’m done with my hair. I hope I’d curled everything in the back but let’s see. Now, you try and balance the end. I didn’t put any product in my hair, guys. No, no products.
Before I do the makeup tutorial, I got out of the shower and my hair is really thick and I don’t need a product and this will last you seriously all day. So, that’s how you do it, nice and full. Okay so, I’ll see you guys later, bye!
