I try straightening my hair with Ribbon.
Welcome to my bedroom. So today I wanted to try out a new heatless straightening method that I
found on the internet. Also a couple of viewers mentioned this to me. So it's called a kardoon
and it's a traditional Algerian method of wrapping your hair with a specific type of ribbon which is
called a kardoon and it's supposed to straighten out your hair. I'm not sure if this is a tradition
in other countries as well. But from the information I found it's from Algeria. Now
because I don't have a kardoon I have scouted around my house and found a bunch of ribbons.
I mean obviously it's not the same as a kardoon but I'm sure it will do a similar job. I'm going
to show you what my hair looks like beforehand. If you've been watching my videos for a while
you know I've been struggling with really puffy hair that I'm not sure if it's wavy or straight.
I washed my hair yesterday and let it air dry completely naturally and then I wore it in a
looks like. It kind of doesn't just lay together so I'm hoping that this might work. I want to
actually try doing two kardoons. I think traditionally you just do one at the back
of your head but I just feel like it might be a bit tricky to get to the back of my head. So
we're going to try doing two and I'm actually going to get a spray bottle and just dampen
my hair because it does help. This is going to be my first attempt so please don't judge me. I
actually do intend to buy a kardoon and learn to do it properly but for now we'll just see how this
goes as a first attempt. Starting at the top I bound that a few times. In theory it's pretty
easy. We're just wrapping the hair very tightly right to the end. I have a feeling it might
somehow unravel so I'm gonna go up since I have a bit more ribbon. I'm gonna take a scrunchie
because they're nice and soft. Okay so I've just wrapped the scrunchie around it. Okay I am back.
I have finished both sides. My hair's looking very colourful and very weird so I did have to
reinforce it with some extra ribbon because I felt like it was kind of coming out. I just wanted to
make sure it was going to hold up through the night. I'm now going to leave these in for the rest of
the evening and overnight and we'll see how it turns out tomorrow morning. It stayed in pretty
well during the night and throughout the whole evening so let's just take this out. Oh okay
wow so it's looking a little crimped. First impressions. I don't really have a mirror
so I'm using the viewfinder. Interesting. It feels really soft, really sleek but
oh I'm not sure guys. It's very very strange. I don't know if you can see but it's like almost
like I've had it in braids like it's kind of crimped. I guess where the ribbon's gone round
and round. Again I'm not sure if that's just because this was ribbon like maybe it really
needs to be the cardoon. I don't know I'll probably buy one and see but this it's not straight. You
can see there's like a visible crimp. Oh dear the back kind of still looks a bit frayed and frizzy.
Again that's just the way my hair is. Okay okay so final verdict. I'm a little bit disappointed.
It's made my hair look kind of weird. I guess that goes to show that ribbons are not gonna work.
I can't say that cardoons don't work though because again I didn't actually use a proper
cardoon. I only had ribbons so maybe if I buy one and try it again it will work a little differently.
Maybe if I try just doing the one it will work a bit differently. I don't know so I'm gonna buy
one. I will leave a link on Amazon. I found them on Amazon. I will leave a link in the description
to where you can buy one if you want to try it. You know even though this didn't work it's still
interesting to post these videos trying things and experimenting and if it doesn't work like
I feel like I should still post it because it's still interesting to see. I'm sorry that that
wasn't such a big dramatic reveal but uh that's just the way things are. So thanks so much for
watching. If you want to see more hair videos I have a ton on my channel. Subscribe if you want
