the side of the bottle baby
I'm telling you I just today I'm so
super happy having one so I turn 40 this
year and I was like you know
and I'm gonna do it I just to be sure
right
and the owner
hello everyone out there this is your
long lost friend we make heart right
healthier journey that , had two three
matches that have this video is long
overdue
I am so sorry i have not been able to
make a video in my Donald how long cuz i
just been really really busy but I just
my natural and just exploring different
life adventures
so I have not been to make a video but
need to do this
I want to show you guys what's going on
with my hair
so you guys see from doing something
very different with my hair last my hair
is my five month
well I'm going actually wanted to six
months six months of having access out
of my box in December 2015 17 and now it
is made what is it made
when you fit I think that my 25th so be
it
I'm five one six months pretty soon
and really enjoying my journey so I
wanted to really have been with this
video to be like too long as it is right
and tutorial at the end of a house that
my life but I'm i just want to give you
guys an update about my hair
what I've been doing and it's pretty you
know with blacks and it takes time to
develop and everything but I think
they're developing pretty good going out
really well and
i started my last because i am a huge
fan of lat
I've been one last for like eight years
so maybe along with and then I actually
started that blacks back in two thousand
eight and then I chickened out and I
call them out so so i just really love
laughs i'll Oh like the ok
this applies what I just develop on
their own you just give it a little guys
like this development to have their own
little personalities and I just I love
the carefree - of blacks that's just
love locks and it's just something I've
been wanting to do for a long time so
it's not anything I really jumped into I
just thought about it and thinking about
it forever and I just went ahead and did
it
so I'm the method that I use which i'm
going to show you later on in this video
is the i used the crocheted medium heat
would keep some people call this instant
locks and I did a lot of mixed reviews
on its not lack some people say no don't
do it back here
it was the best thing that I ever could
have done with for my locks and but it's
a very small needle like i said i want
to show you guys exactly what I did to
the end of this video I have a tutorial
but it's a very small crochet needle and
this one is number 14 . 5 millimeters
and I got this off of amazon so this one
I just part of my hair up and I twisted
it was i'm going to show you a little
later and i just want to do with the
shade needle in and out in and out and
form the lock and then I went through
and
I made a little loop with a hairpin and
I just in her lap the route so that
worked out good for me because I swim a
lot
that's once a week my life's did not
come apart only one of them did this one
but now this one is going pretty good
now but they didn't come apart
they held up very well i have to do is
just an interlock the roots and the last
time I turned off my hair was in march
and so far I just been twisting and I
don't really twist all the way at the
room I don't use clips that just haven't
been using slightly the first couple of
times I did but this most of the time I
just take my I'm Joe and I just go
through the end like that and that's it
so that's what i've been doing and I do
that I'm be my hair's not holding up
really well with interlocking and with
the instant lock
that's basically what you're going with
instant message is going in and out of
the black or in another hair before you
know it's not really black bad but he's
going in and out and you kind of let the
hair tangle your kind of a kind of
forming liked angle here which is that a
lot
is it just tangled here anyway here that
looks together and that's it just kind
of get here all mixed up in there and
then after that that's it
so my husband holding up really well and
I think that this has really allowed my
hair to lock faster
i'm using this method so okay guys i'm
back a little bit of a technical glitch
but I'm
ok so i get a lot of questions about
what products I use of my hair since I
am laughing now no longer loose
so I'm gonna tell you what - I'm an
actress of products i use in my hair
right now I don't think condition that
often right now in my life still not in
the mature stage so much studying
conditioning more often later but I
didn't do with the conditioning
treatment
yeah that's what i usually lastly add
additional treatment with the high drama
natural to me know plus 15 conditioning
treatment because I gave myself a
demi-permanent hair color that lasts for
24 shampoo but I want my hair felt kind
of weird afterwards I wanted to
strengthen my hair so i did do a deep
conditioning treatment last week and but
before that shampoo and shampoo with a
moisture boost a shampoo
this chap was very concentrated so it
gets rid of anything you're here it is
really really clean to hear really well
i use a small amount but it contains see
we seek help algae lab potential oil so
it's a great great great ship was one of
our best selling shampoos
so I use that and then I'm and it's like
a last week at the condition and then
after that I moisturize my hair needs
moisture like my hair needs moisture so
we have lots need moisture
this is a great parties are you
err on the daily moisturizing lotion it
is water based so you don't have to
worry about it building up in your hair
is what a basic just washes right out
but i can also connect the oil so you
can use it for scalp massages and things
like that keeps the skull really well
moisturize and if you're especially with
color treated and stuff like that it's a
great back to use use it to keep my hair
super stock well moisturised when I was
little but not unlocked
i still use it as I use it on my hair
after a classically conditioned I put
that on this model may be a dime size
and
moving in my hand squeezing through my
wet hair did not follow up with the hair
growth oil i use this summer here a
couple times a week as well and after
shampooing and conditioning and it works
really well keep seals in moisture in my
life i love it has absolutely
oil to speak to stop the sizes that's a
boil treatment after that then i do
mommy twist so use one of these to park
in my retwist I need to use the phone is
still probably style and this one gets
like a lighter hold you be doing we
twist with this if you want more
you know for this that you're carrying
things like that so that's why use this
one for you can also use it for braids
out with stars relax that
not going to stuff like this what's my
naked with just a little bit long i want
to be having a lot of fun with this one
it has an allergy and had a lot of algae
probably tell has LG has your possible
for the hair and a stage and in it as
well as a lot of other out extracts the
technical experts is the botanical to
find a job that gives a farmer home
that's what i have in my hair right now
so just give the farmer home from the
bar with some of my into a little bit I
still have a lot of love these
I want to look a little bit more that's
buddy
that means this one this one also has
stage and witch hazel my own . extracts
in it possible so those are my dollars
that i use a switch back and forth
between those two and then I like this
this is that the glassy protector and
although i'm not using the party in mind
here is my immigration line and it's
great for from out in the Sun it gives
the hair UV protection before i go
underneath the dryer put it on my hair
so give my hair a nice shine as well as
a protection

thank you guys so much
I'm gonna roll into the video and show
you guys exactly how i did the instant
lat most used to crochet needle and
started my instant last week and I got
this technique
I'm i think his name is mr. Mick dread
you guys can look him up on youtube
yes probably of yet . we already got a
video but it was very loud views on that
video but it was very very helpful for
me
last time I lack so I'm gonna roll into
the tutorial you guys but you guys have
a wonderful day thank you so much for
watching
thank you so much for your patience but
not been gone for a long time so I just
want to thank you guys for everything
so thank you you have a great day right
I just happy last day here to do have
done all the back and everything and
I've done this what has been done i've
been working on it for like a week or so
this is the last session I just did but
sighs held up there always not really
that went to the gym twice
I swam once I watched my head three
times and I went to time so it's
building up really good
like not really unraveling that really
don't need to see my parts and
everything will soon
ok so i'm using a 0.5 millimeter crochet
hook
this way hm and then you can see it's
like a little small che
you know what
and i'm also using palm and I made a
little lashing out of a hair so I'm
going to select ok so right here this
part of my hair is blue circle pattern
besides and I'm gonna have a problem
laughing but this part of the search
curl pattern
so what I'm going to do is just slightly
to use a little bit
you don't have to do this but this is
what I'm going to you is to facilitate
things a little bit make it a little
easier
ok so i am sure i think you are looking
at the camera with me really confused
these are being well this way so when
they just roll this way all of this
take my needle and I'm not going to
start like right up here going to leave
some room for latching I want to start
about right here and what I'm going to
just take the neil and it's going to go
like that
no no no
oh yeah when
I had
just got in and out here
ok
and as you can see it's forming
- laughs so you can stay here and not
going further a little bit more
i'm going to do a little bit i'm just
going to go through
we want twice more I'm just rolling it
back and forth like that
down
you can see why me
nice little left there one more time
yeah
for waiting up and it's getting pretty
I can feel the difference each time I do
it it gets the more and more firm in
there
so okay
that probably go to about right here yes
I want to keep some room in there for
the latch so this part here
what I'm going to do is just twirl it
around
yeah well it around and then I want to
bend it over like this looks like a
little ball like that
this is what i'm doing i just want two
more blunt and but you don't have to do
that and then just go back
then go through again as my see you out
you guys take yourself so huh just be
very careful watching and as you can see
you were close
that's what it looks like now these have
popped up some as you can see i watched
it a few times i said i watched it three
times so it's a little pup . then this
is what this feels really really tight
and these felt that way too when I first
did it
ok so now what a latch it and the
laughing oh they're hunting videos on
our latch was going for direction here
and we're here
put through his way
this way
this way and remember the last the
merchandise back just go ahead and run
away
mine too late this way so my last black
just going to be going in the direction
that I want to lay low
this way and there you go now
