This is literally the exact same length as this section here. It's just not
[6]
stretched out. Hey guys it's Jewellianna Palencia. Also
[10]
known as JeweJeweBee. And in today's video, I'm going to
[13]
be sharing with you my--kind of like an-- updated hair routine. And also, my tips on
[19]
how i diffuse my hair... "Like A Pro". So the way that I diffuse my
[23]
hair--I like to diffuse it so it has this really rounded
[27]
shape. It looks like my hair is super layered, and has really long layers at
[31]
the bottom. So I'm going to share with you the
[33]
products that I am using to style my hair-- and also
[37]
exactly how I diffuse my hair to give it tons of definition, but to still get it
[43]
really really stretched out. And this is a very very detailed video. I
[47]
like to make my videos really quick and to the point
[50]
but this has so many gems in it, and so many details in it that i feel like are
[55]
going to be really helpful! So I''m going to get into this
[59]
video! I hope you guys enjoy it. And if you do, then
[62]
please give it a thumbs up and let's get into it!
[66]
So for you guys who are interested in what I'm using in my hair
[70]
for this tutorial, then you can keep watching.
[73]
However, if you'd just like to see how I diffuse
[76]
blow dry my hair then you can skip to right here.
[80]
(4:25) This is a time stamp for just the "diffusing tutorial". First, I'm going to section.
[83]
off my hair. I'm going to be using the Jane Carter
[85]
"Incredible Curls Cream"... and I don't think I really have
[89]
much of anything left.
[92]
I've been using this as my "hydrator". I use a thinner hydrator first--
[99]
that's more watery. And then I use a creamy and thicker product, to trap that
[105]
moisture in. I realize when I do that my hair turns
[108]
out so much better, and also so much more moisturized. Right now I''m
[112]
going to be taking my Denman Brush. And if you guys follow me, you know that
[116]
I've been super into my Tangle Teezer-- for like the past
[119]
two years. However, I decided I wanted to switch it
[123]
up, and try out the Denman. Since this is like the "OG". I started using this when I
[128]
first went natural, so I decided to try it again. And I
[132]
really liked it-- I was like "why did I stop
[134]
using it"? I'm just gonna comb this product through my hair. Because finger
[137]
detangling really helps to detangle my hair, but it doesn't really get the frizz
[141]
at the roots like the Denman Brush can.
[149]
So now, I'm going to be using one of my favorite product combos
[152]
EVER! I pretty much keep these on stock like--
[155]
all the time. It's probably one of the first natural hair products I bought.
[159]
And it always does amazing. So because I used a Denman Brush already,
[163]
it makes it really easy to smooth this product through my hair.
[172]
Then the last product I'm going to be using is
[175]
the Shea Moisture "Curling Gel Souffl茅", from the same line.
[180]
I don't know what's up with this batch, but as you guys can see (oh no),
[184]
it is like coming out as whole like globs. And last time I tried
[190]
to use it like this, it was not blending into my hair. So I''m
[194]
gonna go blend it or warm it up... or something. The I'll be
[197]
back. So here is how the consistency is, now. As you can
[202]
see, it's much more gel-like . I warmed it up in the microwave
[205]
for 20 [seconds], and then also stirred it and that broke it apart. I'm glad that
[209]
I've already used this product before, because if this was my first time using
[213]
it, and it came out like this (no). So I'm gonna
[216]
just smooth this all over my hair. And I'm
[218]
not gonna use too much of this. You guys know that I love to use A TON--
[222]
like a ridiculous amount of product. But with this one--if you use too much--it's
[227]
gonna feel like you have honey on your hair. It can get really really sticky. So
[230]
just don't use too much of this. And now I 'm
[233]
just gonna move on to the next section. That's all I'm using today. I'm not
[238]
using a ton of products-- like I normally do.
[259]
Okay nowIi'm going to do the other half, and then we're going to move on to
[263]
diffusing. I now all done applying the products to my
[266]
hair-- and now it's on to diffusing. Now to
[269]
diffuse my hair, I'm using something that's a little bit
[274]
pricey. I'm using the Dyson Supersonic. I'm just going to be
[277]
holding this around my hair for the portion of time.
[289]
So i've diffused my hair for about 15 minutes. And my hair is around
[293]
50 percent dry. So now I'm going to move on to the next step--which
[297]
is stretching my hair. I'm now done this section.
[301]
And you can see, this section right here is not stretched out.
[306]
This is literally the exact same length as this section here--
[311]
it's just not stretched out. Okay, so I'm just going to stretch out this section,
[315]
and then I'll be back. So to stretch out my hair, I'm doing a version of the
[321]
"tension method". And pretty much what I do, is I take a
[323]
section of hair, and I use tension to help stretch it out.
[328]
I like to leave my ends alone, not stretched. So as you can
[331]
se, I'm not going all the way down to the ends. Because as you'll see later,
[335]
that keeps my hair looking super defined, but still stretched out at the roots.
[341]
So you can see already-- it's been like two minutes, and it's already so much more
[345]
stretched out than it was before. I recorded a video
[350]
of this same method in 2015-- except then I was using it to get HUGE
[355]
hair. Actually the video's title was "how to get huge hair".
[359]
Now i use it to stretch out my hair. And also,
[362]
by stretching out my hair when I'm drying it, it helps to cut down on single
[366]
strand knots and tangles, like crazy! Because I'm drying my
[370]
hair in an organized way, instead of allowing my
[373]
hair to dry how it wants-- which is tangled together. Okay so I'm all done
[379]
the hair that i'm gonna stretch out and as you can see it is
[383]
so much longer than it would be probably be. I'd probably like "up here" if i didn't stretch it
[387]
out. Now that I'm done that, I'm just gonna pik out my hair. And I'm just
[390]
using this random pik I got from the beauty supply
[393]
store. It has a fist "like this" on it. I do have A
[398]
TON of products in my hair. So it's probably not gonna get as stretched out
[403]
as it will on like day three or four or five. But
[408]
we still want a little bit of volume for this video.
[424]
So for the front portion of my hair, I'm going to style that
[429]
totally different than the back. I'm going to add a bit of Eco Style gel to the front
[433]
of my hair, because the front of my hair is just so
[437]
naturally prone to getting frizzy. I know if i don't do that, it's just
[440]
going to frizz right up.
[449]
So now for this last/ front portion of my hair, what I'm going to do
[453]
is I'm going to scrunch it up towards the roots--
[456]
just to give it a bit more shape. Because as you can see,
[461]
if it dries exactly like this, the front of my hair will be the exact same
[466]
length as like the back of my hair. So I'm going to
[469]
scrunch up in the front a bit, so that it's not as long. It's
[473]
like I do the exact opposite for the back of my hair... as I do
[477]
to the front.
[492]
Okay guys! So here is the finished results. And I am
[499]
absolutely-- so happy with how my hair turned out. My hair is literally
[503]
so hydrated right now. But also, I have volume with tons of definition as
[509]
well. I have no frizz in my hair. Which is exactly how
[513]
I like it. When I diffuse my hair like this, I can
[515]
create the shape that I want-- so I can get a very
[519]
rounded shape... instead of having to cut super duper
[522]
short layers into my hair. I can just diffuse it to make it look like this--
[527]
like it has like extremely short layers.
[530]
I could even clip it like this if I wanted a curly bang too!
[536]
The diffusing portion-- I'm not gonna lie-- it takes a while. It took about an hour
[540]
to do. But the results really pay off and my hair is stretched out. It will
[547]
probably take 10 minutes to detangle my hair the next time I wash it. Because my
[553]
curls didn't get to tangle together. And they were
[555]
dried stretched out and separated, so I will have very minimal tangles. Also,
[560]
this cuts down on fairy knots because my hair doesn't get a chance to wrap around
[564]
itself, because it was dried more stretched out--
[568]
and or in an organized way. If you enjoyed this video, then please give it a
[572]
"thumbs up". And thank you so much for watching,
[575]
and I really hope you guys have a great day. Bye!
