- Hi, I'm Michelle O'Connor, celebrity hairstylist, and today I'm going to show you how to prevent ethnic hair from turning frizzy. As we can see, Ebony has this beautiful head of hair that's not frizzy. What we used on her was an anti humidity spray as well as a shine serum and this prevents her hair from frizzing no matter what the weather is saying outside. In the nighttime it's a whole other scenario. One of the things we can do to prevent her hair from frizzing and maintain its luster and shine is to apply a product called H20 Intense Nighttime treatment. It's a great product because it allows the hair to repair itself. One of the areas where we tend to go wrong when we're at home and we're doing our own hair is we absolutely use way too much product. One of the things you want to concentrate on is applying possibly the size of about a pea to your hair depending on the thickness and the density. What you're going to do is actually just scoop off a small portion off the top. This is about the amount that you'd be using, you're going to put it to the palm of your hand and start to warm the product up and this prevents me from having any particular glob of product on one section. It allows me to evenly distribute it throughout the entire head of hair. I'm going to start with the ends and work my way up and I'm going to work around the entire head of hair until I make sure that I feel the ends are adequately coated with this product. Now generally we tend to have product remaining on the palms of our hands, as you can see, there's still a sheen to my hands. I'm going to then go into the crown area with my fingers ever so gently and work it through the hair, that way I'm still preventing it from becoming saturated with that product. Once you've applied the product, you're going to then position your hair to go in the wrap in the way that you wear your hair. In Ebony's case she actually wears her hair with a parting on the left hand side, so that means that my wrap is going to go in a clockwise direction so that when she pulls it down, it's already in her preferred position. A lot of people usually wonder where do they start their part, where do I even start? What I say is take your parting, start from the center which is the highest point of the head, the apex and make a vertical parting all the way down behind the ear, just a straight vertical parting and I use the tail of my comb. Comb all that hair, that's in front of the part forward and start combing the hair that's behind the part around the head in a clockwise direction. You want to make sure that not only are you combing the surface of the hair, but you're also getting down to the base of that hair. Obviously if the hair is long like Ebony's, it might not stay up and this is where a lot of frustration comes in. You want to definitely have some clips on hand. What I recommend using are clips called duck bill clips. You can see that it's a long clip. It looks almost like the bill of a duck and this is going to secure your hair and prevent it from falling down as you are rotating the hair around the head. My first clip I'm just going to position it in the back, over to the left a little bit as you can see right here and then we'll see that there is a billowing happening at this top section so I also want to anchor that. We want to anchor that so that that doesn't start to come forward and create big mess for us. Alright, so we're going to keep coming through that hair. Now we have two extra sets of hands and we'll continue to anchor it. I may put my third anchor right in here. We're going to keep rotating the hair around. Keep in mind that some people prefer to use a brush like a boar bristle brush. You can also use that on the surface after you've made sure that you've untangled everything underneath you can use this boar brush just to make sure that you've smoothed all the ends of the hair because the whole key and objective is to make sure that when you do wrap this hair, you're in essence using the head as a roller. So as you can see I'm coming to the conclusion of my wrap and now in Ebony's case she has very long hair. So sometimes what ends up happening is the wrap goes around multiple times. The shorter the hair, the fewer times it will go around the head. Now in Ebony's case it's actually going around two times so instead of adding more clips I'm actually going to release the clips that have been in there and put it over the extended hair as I'm going around on the second time. Now we've just completed our wrap and this is what your finished product will look like. You've anchored it down so that it doesn't lift up. Once you've finished the wrap, to hold everything in place, it's advisable that you actually put a scarf around everything. This prevents the hair from drying out and it also prevents the hair from frizzing when you sleep. When you do this process, you end up with hair that looks as though you just stepped out of a salon. When Ebony wakes up and when you wake up, you'll have hair that works for you. You'll have hair that's nourished. You'll have hair that is healthy, is vital and most of all hair that's frizz free. And that's how you keep ethnic hair from getting frizzy. I'm Michelle O'Connor, and thanks for watching.
