Chapters
Wait, come back, girl. When you come back, you gotta drop. When you go down, you gotta drop. Come back.
I can't deal. Hey everyone, let's get started with how I got started with this client. Okay, we started in 2012 with my launch party of my hairline, introducing it to where I lived at the time, Kansas City, Missouri. This was 2013. That started in 2012. And then I had a photo shoot and I started using her as well, and her look was just very pretty, um, and she wore the hair well, just had sass, which it's like, be careful what you ask for. So this is she and I, we started working together again in 2012, and We were on the COVID of Midwest Black Hair Magazine. We did more photo shoots through 2014, 2015, and just showing the versatility of a sew-in. Oh my God, I can't do this. The versatility of a sew-in. So this is the finished product of the start to finish video today, and she could not keep her hands off or her expression to herself, but let's jump right into it. We are using 3 bundles of my Brazilian deep wave hair. This is the first install for her with this bunch of hair. She's used my hair over and over and over before. Um, her birthday is today, so let's shout out happy birthday to Shannon. Happy birthday, Shannon! Okay, but, um, we actually used a 24, 22, and 20-inch. I straightened out the root of the bundle, um, right under the weft, and I straightened out the ends of the bundle prior to installing to make it flatter and to make it easier to completely straighten it out after I finish. So that is why it doesn't look deep wave. I have some little pictures in the corner showing you what deep wave looks, which I did a lot of this particular weekend in Kansas City. So if you all are wondering, I live in St. Louis. I'm from Kansas City, Missouri. I travel back for a week every month to work on my regulars and a couple new clients here and there. So I did install these 3 bundles, left to right, left to right, right to left. I have tutorials on the braid pattern for this sew-in, how to sew it in, how to get it flat, um, how to sew on the net and everything. So those videos will be linked in the description below. That person over there to our right is Capricia. If you all are just tuning in to my channel, she braids for me when I'm in Kansas City so we can get more clients in and have a routine little pattern going on to get more people in. So you see, I am up to the top, and I just want you guys to watch her expression as we finish because she is about to act a fool, okay?, and I just want y'all to see it because I'm like, Capricia, you're not seeing the eye this girl is giving me when I'm finishing her hair. So yeah, but, um, I hope you all enjoy this video. You guys have been very supportive. Um, send me a comment in the description to let me know what you all are thinking of my channel. Now I am uploading more, um, and I'm trying to get a little more regular for you all. Upload a lot more material, a lot more of my start to finishes. And look at her, oh my gosh, she is so happy. You can tell, like, it's like this like shoulder that she's doing. Oh my God. Um, but yeah, let me know what you all are thinking about the videos, the start to finishes. I know you all love those a lot. Um, I always tell you guys that I appreciate you from watching from start to finish because sometimes my videos can get a little lengthy, but drop a heart in the description. Let me know you watched it from start to finish and let me know what you all think of the finished look. This, this hair does revert right back to its original state. Um, the description has the information and what I just sprayed on her hair, it's in my video about thin hair clients and how to blend and how to cover up what shows. So that information is there too. Oh my gosh, she's already flipping. So yeah, I hope you all are enjoying my videos lately. This is the finished product. Capricia did braid her. Oh my God, see, that's what she does. Every time I look at her in the mirror to see if her part was straight, she would like start raising her eyebrows and I'm like, stop looking at me, you creep. Look, like leave me alone, Shannon. Like let me, let me do my thing. Oh my gosh. So yeah, I said flip it for me and this is what I got. Why do I do this with this girl? I cannot, I can't stand her. So you all leave comments about how you are my biggest fan, and I really believe this is probably one of my biggest fans. She will drive to St. Louis to get her hair done or to pick up a TT Does It All hat. She, I mean, this is her every time I do her hair. I gotta, you gotta love her. So let me know what you all think about this hairstyle. Let me know what you all think about her extraness. You all know no negativity makes it to my page. So if it's like, she needs to sit the hell down, boop, it won't make it to see the light of day, okay? But I'm gonna sit my tongue twisted behind down and work on some of my next videos. I will see y'all in the next video.
