Hey beauties. As I mentioned in my Hairfinity post, I am texlaxed so I'm always trying to do protective or non heat application hair styles when I can avoid it. So this time around I tried the "yaki pony" or "kanekalon pony" Ala Nicki Minaj. I opted for a twist rather than a braid or or flowing hair. A picture of the items I used is attached. Note I did use 1 and half packs of 86 inch or 2x braiding hair for this hair style.
I began with washing and conditioning, applied leave conditioner and with slightly damp hair I applied my foam wrap and gel to mold into a ponytail. I braided my hair and wrapped into a mini bun securing with rubberbands. Next I sprayed with a spritz of my choice and wrapped my hair up with a scrap to dry. After my hair dried I took the braiding hair and combined hair from both packs to my desired thickness, making sure to off set the ends to get a tapered look. Using a rubber band I gathered the hair in the center tied a rubber band in a u loop. Then with the open end I tied the rubber band around my natural hair bun/knot. From there I applied JAM all over the hair and sectioned of the hair I wanted to wrap around the ponytail (the hair that will cover the base of your natural hair).
Setting the base hair to the side, I began to 2 strand twist the pony tail hair applying jam as I twisted over and under. At the end on the pony I applied 2 rubber bands to secure. Spray with spritz and that part is done. With the hair I set aside for the base I separated them in 1 inch pieces and twisted/rolled as I wrapped around the base of the pony securing with a Bobby pin. I did a total of 4 twists resulting in 4 Bobby pins total for this style which I love because sometimes those pins get positioned wrong and hurt something awful. Spray with spritz and all done!! Try it out and enjoy!
