I try robe curls. the better way

Hello everybody and welcome back to my hair series. So today I am going to be trying robe curls the right way. I did try robe curls like eight or nine months ago and they did not turn out very good. I will put images here. They looked kind of okay when I first took them out but they just proceeded to get very messy and frizzy very quickly. Also they just didn't look as good as what I'd seen but I put this down to the fact that my hair was quite short and all one length whereas a lot of the videos and results that I'd seen were on girls with long hair with layers and often highlights which really like brought out the curls and made them look so much more luscious. So this time I'm going to be changing a few things. Obviously number one my hair is a lot longer now. Number two I'm going to be using a thicker robe this time. I've actually got two thin ones so I'm actually just going to put them together to make a thicker one and number three and perhaps the most important difference is I'm going to be doing the curls in alternating directions. The best video that I found on it was Shona Scott so that's the video I'm going to be following. So first I'm going to part my hair. I wonder actually if it's if it's better to do a side parting rather than a middle parting. Do you know what I'm going to try a side parting because I have a feeling it might turn out a little better. So I'm going to put one side of my hair out of the way for now. Apparently it's better to do this on freshly washed and dried hair. I didn't quite have time to wash my hair today but I washed it yesterday and it's just been roughly blow-dried like in a downward motion that's why it's quite straight. So I'm gonna dampen it. So I've got the middle of the robes. I'm going to put them in the centre of my head. I'm going to try and do this as neat as I possibly can so that I can get the best results possible. Hold on. Oh no it's a bit difficult with two robes not gonna lie. Hold on. Okay see we've got it going in two different directions at the moment. Get out of the way. We're getting there. Takes a lot of concentration this. I've got it. I know what I'm doing now. By the way guys if you're wondering where I got my watch from uh it's from Nordgreen. They are kindly sponsoring this video. I'll talk a bit about it later but if you're struggling for gift ideas for him or her check the description discount code and link if you want to get a nice watch for any of your family members or yourself. Oh no these little bits at the end are getting a little bit droopy. I might have to go back a little bit on myself. Okay yeah that's done it. Okay. Oh my gosh. We're down to the easy part okay. So now we're just gonna continue to wrap it around. I'm gonna try and wrap these little end bits around as best as I can. I'm gonna secure this with a hairband. Oh how did she do it? She did something funny. She like did it like this. Oh yeah she did it like this. So she didn't have to like pull it through the whole thing. Okay. All right. I hope that is good enough. That looks like I've done it right. I'm pretty proud with that. It's pretty neat. What do you think? It's currently 20 past two but I'm going to spend the rest of the day at home with this in my hair and then I'm going to sleep in it and show you in the morning. But I'm first just going to try what Shona did. She actually crosses it at the back. I hope that will stay. Those little ties. Brought it up like this and tied it just to keep it like out the way which I thought was quite a good idea. And that's it. I think she said that she slept with it like down um but if you're going about the house you can wear it up or you can sleep with it up I guess. I'm going to wear it like this for the rest of the day and overnight so I'll see you in the morning. Good morning. As you can see I took an extra precaution and I wrapped my hair in a silk head scarf to try to preserve the hair as much as I could without it getting frizzy. I also had to clip back my bangs because they kind of came out. Oh dear. Okay I'm so excited but I guess we're just going to take it out. Where's my mirror? Okay so she says to do it super gently. Oh it's looking interesting so far. Whoa. It looks good so far. Whoa. Wow. Oh my god I'm excited. I'm excited. I tell you what if this- you know what I'm gonna do though? I am going to be seeing if this will last for like tomorrow as well so make sure you watch to the end. God oh god no Isabella don't ruin the curls. So this is what it looks like straight away. Obviously I've got to like zhuzh it up and sort it out a bit. Oh my god. So apparently you're supposed to shake it and zhuzh it. Okay I'm gonna flip my hair over. Whoa look bouncy curls. They literally bounce. How did I pop my hair? I feel like the back won't look as good but I'll give you a look. How does it look? Oh wow. My god it actually looks decent. So pleasantly surprised with how the back looks. It looks pretty cohesive. Now the true test we're gonna see how it holds up throughout the whole day and I'm also gonna show you what it looks like tomorrow so make sure you keep watching till the end. So about the watch. If you've been thinking of buying a nice watch for yourself or a loved one I'm gonna tell you why Nordgreen might be the best option to purchase from. Especially if you're struggling for gift ideas. Now the beauty of this watch can speak for itself but what I really want to talk about is how earth-conscious and forward-thinking Nordgreen is as a company. Nordgreen produces high quality durable watches that are designed to last decades and the sleek and minimal design means they won't be going out of fashion anytime soon. Not only that but they are partnered with non-government organizations to support urgent global causes. For example they provided more than 9,950 meals to people in need during Christmas 2019 and they contributed towards the reforestation after Australia's devastating bush fires last year. They are a carbon neutral company which means they plant thousands of trees to offset their carbon emissions and they're in Copenhagen which is considered to be one of the greenest cities in the world. Their packaging comes from responsibly managed forests and the felt inside the boxes is formed using upcycled plastic bottles and they are working on transitioning to 100% recycled packaging. There's so much more that they do for the environment including their giving back scheme where a portion of your purchase price can go to one of their three charities. So if you're going to buy a watch I would highly recommend purchasing from a company that are supporting the environment therefore Nordgreen would be an excellent choice. I am so happy to promote Nordgreen and of course you can get a discount with my code and make sure to use the in the description. And here's your daily reminder to recycle. Thank you Nordgreen I love my watch and on with the video. Bear in mind I don't have hairspray I only have some hair serum but honestly I don't think it needs it right now look at that oh this hair is good okay but we need to sort out it's a little flat because obviously the band was laying flat across my head so I feel like wherever you part it you want to actually when you wear it do it on the other parting so you get a little bit of um volume also my hair up here is super greasy so I might have to do something about that with some dry shampoo but holy moly can you can you imagine if my hair was a bit longer how gorgeous this would look I can't believe it worked my bra is showing I've just washed and dried just my like fringe at the front here and I can't really get it to sit right I've just got back from the gym so it was a bit rainy outside I did have an umbrella I had my hair up in a ponytail not bad curls are still intact I didn't do a lot of like cardio and jumping about I was doing like arms so I was staying pretty still most of the time there's a little bit of funny business going on here this little bit has strayed from the crowd and my fringe is starting to settle down so it's getting a little frizzy but that's kind of expected putting on coats and hats and going to the gym but overall it still looks all right good morning it's the next day I've taken my hair out already this morning I wear it in a bun to bed but it kind of fell out during the night and I was moving around quite a bit so I feel like I've ruined it but let's just take a look at it without me doing anything to it freshly woken up oh they don't look too bad I'm actually really pleasantly surprised I think they actually look better than yesterday I feel like they've kind of dropped a little bit obviously they're messier but they're not actually too bad like when I do my natural my natural waves curly girl method they tend to be super duper frizzy but like they're still pretty defined and for my hair type that's like a big achievement my hair's getting a bit greasy but I'm just gonna see I'm gonna add a little bit of serum and see if that can tame the frizz I'm actually gonna wash my hair today so there's not a whole lot of point in applying this serum but I just want to show you if I were to wear this hair today OMG it looks so freaking good I think this might be my new thing also what I forgot to mention was that I did use a really good deep conditioner the day before okay so if I were to be wearing this hair today this is probably how I would leave it obviously greasy at the roots but I'm gonna wash it if you liked the video please give it a like it really helps me out and don't forget to check out Nordgreen watches if you are struggling for gift ideas or if you want to buy yourself a nice watch subscribe if you would like to see more thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next one bye
