Even Marcel here and you caught me an extremely rare form.

Uh no, I don't have on any clothes, but I do have clean hair.

So what I'm going to show you today is how I achieve my hair situation, from washing to maintenance to styling.

So I just finished washing my hair and the washing is a full process.

Let's just start with the beginning of it all.

I have locks.

These are not temporary locks, these are not braids, this is not synthetic hair, this is my hair locked.

I have my locker verse three actually coming up in a year.

I'm super excited, but lock maintenance.

People don't really understand.

You have to maintain your locks just like you have to maintain your hair, your regular hair, free flowing hair.

So this is what I do.

So I shower, I wash my hair about once a week and when I wash my hair, I use an array of products for my scalp.

I use this.

Now, my friends, her name is Britney, but she has an amazing company called Essential means and she has the shampoo.

She literally makes it at home.

It is epic.

It makes your hair grows so fast.

I went from two inches of hair at the reunion of real housewives of Atlanta at the top of last year to bobbling pair in a matter of six months from the shampoo.

So I used this, but I use this only for my route.

So I take it, I go and through each little part of my hair.

Don't forget the middle of your hair.

That crown is glory.

And then I just use my fingers, my favorite part two, just massage that.

So I'm massaging my hair, my scalp gets really soapy and sudsy and I know it's getting clean.

But then remember, since I have locks, I have a lot of hair down here.

So I have a four step process.

I use for that.

Now there's a company called nap star.

They are amazing.

They are all about locks and they have a 12 34 step process.

I use this clarifying shampoo on my locks.

I don't put it all the way in the roots of my hair, but I used on the locks.

That's because my husband and I like to smoke cigars.

I play with my Children.

I roll around in grass.

I find myself very busy and getting very dirty very often.

So I use that to just break down all the dirt, rinse that out.

Then I do step two tea tree shampoo.

This is everything, it gives you that like tingly feeling it opens up your pores, it helps your hair to grow, it revitalizes.

It helps if you split in.

So this shampoo is so necessary, you have to do your teacher.

But then after you strip your hair of all dirt in all oil, it has to put some moisture back in.

So that's my favorite step, the next one which is the deep moisturizing shampoo.

I put that at the bottom of my hair, but I also then put that into the roots of my hair because I want to make sure that my hair just doesn't get dry.

So then after I do that, then we almost condition our hair right, right, Say it with me, right?

So I ripped everything out, take the conditioner and I O d.

I go ham turkey and cheese.

That's why it's not a lot left because I just take it and I squirt and I put it all over my hair and I just judge it and then move it around and I sit in the shower for like 15 minutes just to let the conditioner sit in and like do its thing now after your final rinse is done, you're felling good, you get out of the shower, you do like I did have a micro fiber towel, dry your hair off now you're clean but you're not done, no no no no no there is so much more to do.

So after this process now I have to go to the moisturizing and let's make it smell good process.

Let me show you what that is after we finished drying and raw, clean and we're ready to start our day.

Then we go into the leaving products.

Now leaving products make sure they say leavin because if they don't then a lot of times they cause what they call residue or build up and that's that extra copy stuff around your hair and you're like, what is that?

Is that lint?

No, it's product build up.

No bueno not good, not good for your hair at all.

So what I like to start with anyone that knows me knows I live to die by rosewater.

Rose water is your friend.

If you have locks, if you have brains, if you have loose hair, if you have curly hair, if you have straight hair, this is a hydrating product that will make every hair come to life.

So I use this and I literally go through open your own up and spray through my whole head.

Yeah.

Mm hmm.

Yeah.

Oh you can't smell it but it smells so good.

Speaking of smelling good, I have a product that doesn't smell good which is why I used the rosewater.

Now go back to my friend essential means talks about the shampoo, it's epic.

It makes your hair grow like crazy.

Now, she also has a product called simply growth.

You're looking at this bottle, you're like, what is that for your home cleaning?

Is that for something in the shower?

Yes, for your hair, you shake it up and you literally spray it in your scalp.

I don't spray on that with my hair because there's something in there that makes it smell very funky but it makes your hair girl.

So take this growth spray doesn't smell good.

What works really well and you get in there and you hit your scalp if you can't feel it going on then you're not touching the right spots.

Now, black women, we have a thing called a saturation with edges.

That's the edge of your hair now because we use and do so many protective styles like wigs and different ponytails and braids and twists.

Then a lot of time you get strained to your edges so you have to give love to your edges.

This growth spray gives love to your edges.

Thank God for the roles water which covers up the, what the heck is that smell smell so boom.

We have a rosewater in, we have our growth spray in.

Now I have a leave in spray conditioner that I use.

Now I try not to use too many creams on my hair because it goes back to that thing.

I was telling you about that residue.

So I have this spray so an amazing company called dr locks and it's specifically for people with locks.

Now, what I love about this product is it smells like heaven.

All of their stuff smells like lemon grass.

How she doesn't, I don't know, I'm not asking, I'm just spring.

So I use this and I spray this all over my hair and there's something about the moisture that actually allows you to manipulate your locks even better, which means that when you go into styling your hair it moves better for you.

So it's been a year in since I've had locks now.

Some of you guys know my life and my journey and for those that don't I have a seven year old daughter and I locked her hair when she was two years old.

I started her locks, I maintenance her locks and I love her locks.

If I can die and come back as another person, it would be Marley for her hair.

Like it's epic.

But I realized after fan growing over my daughter's hair, I realized you know what?

You can have that hair too.

And not just because I think it's cute, but more importantly, so then my daughter has a representation at home of what a proper standard of beauty is the world tells us that this is beautiful.

So a lot of times we think if this is beautiful, then this must not be right.

Well, no, this is beautiful and that is beautiful.

That's beautiful too.

And so is that so that's the space that I'm in.

So today I have to go pick up my daughter.

So which means I might see some like teachers and then when it looked like a parent and since I'm the hippie mom, anyway, so I try to do like some kind of professional situation.

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna divide my hair and two and I'm gonna do twist, going back, I'm gonna show you how I do it now.

I'm the girl that does not like a lot of bobby pins.

I don't like ponytail holders, I don't like all that stuff, so I try to figure out how to do styles that I can do using just my hair.

So I'm gonna start with my hands and we're just gonna go ahead and start by dividing my hair have been divided into, there's no such thing as perfection, there's only you and that's perfect enough in the back, dividing down.

I'm dividing down, I'm dividing down so now time and twist.

Make sure all the hair is in the same direction.

I'm gonna start at the top, the middle of the part and just literally take my hand and it's the flick of the wrist as I twist.

Then I take new hair from the outside near my ear, in my temple and I twisted around so you see it's around then I take care from back here and tuck it through and pull that back around, See you were there or halfway through.

Take more hair from the front by the ear and twist it around.

Oh do we have a style happening?

I think we have a style happening.

Okay, continue doing the same thing now, we have a beautiful twist now, I told you I'm not using any hair ties, I'm not using any bobby 10.

Well what am I using?

I'm using my hair.

Okay, so this is what I do.

I then take see this one piece right here that I did not put up this lone ranger with this lone ranger is my best friend, This is the hero for today.

Okay guys, all right, so you take this, you wrap her around, you tuck her through, you pull that down in.

We have a twist, Boom, boom, boom, nice and professional.

So well we have to do the same thing to the other side.

So don't forget we're starting at the top, make sure all your hair is in the direction that you want to go into.

Oh, I see a twist, You see a twist we're twisting.

Where's my lone ranger?

You have to have a lone ranger.

It's okay to be a lone ranger because you're necessary.

So my lone rangers here, we twist her around to lock in the situation.

We go up, I'm gonna twist her up under all the other locks that I have there and we have a hairstyle is a great hairstyle to do when your hair is still drying, like you don't really have time to wait, you gotta go, you didn't wash it at night, You wash it in the day like me.

Well now I can dry and go and be cute.

I could toss a hat on the top but there is a really important part that I didn't show you guys.

It has to happen.

Give me 1 2nd to give you the black girls most important hair tool ever.

Okay, so see we twisted this side which was this?

This side is the way the back looks now.

The most important part is the finish.

This I got from my law.

Titian is like a comb on one end and then on the other end it's like bristles.

So I take this and you see all this excess just hair just hanging out here.

Well these are our friends, it's called baby hair we like in the years.

So you take your little brush and you go ahead and you just pull her on through.

You use your finger to help guide your hair where you might want it to go.

Do you see that Baby Aaron place?

Okay, let's get another piece some more baby Harry, pull her through.

Get a nice little curl and tuck her back up and she's in there.

Now I'm a cyber kind of girl.

So yes, we have to pull down here and that's where the little brussel part comes in because I'm a black woman.

So sometimes a lot of times we have kinks, which means we need to get them through.

So we take the little comb.

All right, you call me through now, I take my bristles side and I make a curl in her and boom!

There she is.

Okay, let's give the same kind of love to this side.

Your finger and your brush are so important, they have to go together.

So you swoop and you hold do you see that?

And one fell swoop.

She's just boomed back there.

Let's get another one.

I'm gonna talk to you about my hair journey because you don't just wake up in the morning and just wall.

I have this plethora of hair knowledge.

No, it's trial and error.

It's research.

And um, I must say my mom's texture of hair is completely different than mine and I'm the only girl.

So my mom had no clue to what she was doing in my hair ever.

So there was a neighbor who lived on my block.

Her name was Danica, thank God for her because she braid my hair every two weeks.

My mom didn't know what to do with my hair.

My hair is very busy and fuzzy and you could put in a ponytail and it shoots back out.

It's like me, it does what it wants to do, not what you tell it to.

So I let my hair free.

I don't try to tell it what to do or make a big deal out of it.

If it wants to curl this way, curl this way it is, and I think that's one of the most important things that we really want to learn and be educated about when it comes to hair is there is no perfect hair except for yours and no hair is identical.

So don't try to achieve anyone else's greatness, but find yours and the way you find yours is by going on your journey, use different products, try different things.

That's what I love about my culture, because let me tell you, my girlfriends will come over with a red bob one day, twist another day, straight long hair, the next, whatever it is you want to do, do it.

I just want to promote positive images when it comes to your hair and your crown.
