 Hey cool friends, my name is Jan. It's just a mommy. You're watching Bianca Renee today. A special guest, Jalyn. Do this video, so Jalyn's with me to motivate me and make me, are you kissing your tongue? Nasty. I thought he'd make a little more exciting because today I have to take out my, Jalyn, we need to take out all mommy's braids. Are you gonna help me? So I'm gonna show you how I take out my braids, how I bring my curls back, and we're gonna talk about Bali. Here we go, braid number one. Poke it in here. This is called a rat tail comb. A rat tail? It looks like the tail of a rat. And then I poke it in my hair and pull it out like this until I gotta find mommy's hair. I miss my curls. I gotta be curly like you. What's the best hair in the world? Mama. Oh, thank you. Curly hair. Curly hair. I found it. That's mommy's hair. Okay. There you go. How'd you keep your toddler busy for two hours? It poked. It poked it? So I just came back from Bali. It was a whole trip with my curl friends, AKA you guys, my viewers, my subscribers. I invited all y'all to come and we had a total of 19 of us that traveled to Bali together. So it sounds kind of crazy that I met up with a bunch of strangers from the internet. But like y'all are like family. You know, you watch me all the time. You know about my life. You know about my kids. So I'm not like technically a stranger to you. So I always have a lot of people that come by themselves because they don't feel like they're going by themselves. And even if you arrive alone, you leave with friends. So we had a really epic time. We did all the things that Bali had to offer. And if you don't follow me on Instagram, make sure you follow me at Ms. Bianca Renee on Instagram and TikTok to see our full days. Like I'm posting my blogs on TikTok and I'm posting little highlights on Instagram. Here you go. Oh look at that. You look beautiful. Y'all look at this. What is this? This is why it was time to go. This is my part that I left out. It's definitely growing, but it was too short for actually going back home. Going back home to my curls. One down. How many to go? Five. I think there's more than five. 20. Maybe 20 at least. So anyways, I did feel kind of weird going with braids to my curl friends. Yeah, yeah. But. See, yeah, look. It's kind of like dark brown. Almost looks black though. Just like mommy's hair. I'm bald. Is your hair curly or straight? Uh, my hair is curly. Ooh, do you like your curly hair? My bald hair. I love your curly hair. It's actually time to wash it. Didn't really want to wear my braids to the trip, but I also know Bali is super, super humid and I'm so glad I did because anybody got time to wash your hair on vacation. Like when I'm on vacation, so are my curls. But all my other girls on the trip also got braids. Like we had maybe like three, four people with curly hair that kept it curly, of course. And then everyone else got protective styles and it was cool. You could just wake up and go. You don't have to wash your hair after you go swimming. Go to the beach. You don't have to style it, deep condition. Like I am totally team protective style for a vacation and I'm only taking it out now because, two reasons. One, tomorrow I'm cutting my hair. Not my pretend hair, my real hair. Basically I'm like over my hair right now. Low key the thought has crossed my mind of doing like a sherry black panther cut. Like pixie cut. Like Halle Berry, Halle Berry. Y'all would kill me though. I know I shouldn't do things based off of what I think you guys think. It's my hair, it's my head, it's my choice. I'm not gonna do it. Girl, don't do it. I was just thinking about it. I can't do it. I wanted it to be long. It's now long. I just am really bored with my hair lately. Think I grew it out. I think I'm basically at my goals. It basically reaches my butt when it's wet. It's just been like flat because I have no more layers. Everything's grown out. I have no shape. I low key miss my bangs. I low key miss. I'm gonna high key miss the volume. Might get color again, honestly. I'm not doing color. But the crazy thing about this haircut is mommy is cutting her hair by herself. I'm gonna do a virtual haircut with a really cool stylus that has been doing virtual haircuts probably ever since the panning. It's probably just been super convenient because even for me, you guys know my favorite stylus that I go to here are curls one on one. They're always super booked. It's not the cheapest. Hello. But not all of you live in California. I'm a majority of you live in New York and Florida, honestly. So to be able to give you guys an option that you could just do yourself online, no matter where you live, no matter what country, it's gonna be a good option. So this is gonna be part of my comfort zone challenge. I've never cut my own hair. So this will be very new to me. And it can go great or it can go horribly wrong. We'll find out. Okay, time to pull. There's mommy's hair. I'm at a point where if I mess up, I kind of don't care. Like if I had to cut all my hair off, it's okay. There's so many curly YouTubers that have gotten to that point. Like I have so many friends that they've chopped. Their hair is perfectly fine. They cut it all off. Penny Tovar AKA Curly Penny chopped it off. Just like Jackie, Jackie cut it off. Andy Aloe cut it off. Like the list goes on. So I don't know if I'm gonna do bangs but I'm definitely gonna do, I gotta cut off my dead ends. It's definitely time and get some more shape going on. So come back next week, hopefully next week to see me cut my own hair by myself, well not by myself. Professional will be helping me but just over the computer. And we'll see how that goes. You have so many. Oh snaps, I only cut off this much and my curls are here. It's this long. Wow, good thing I went lower. This is the only extension. My hair is long. I didn't even want braids this long but I had no choice. Cause my hair is right down here. Oh I forgot. So after I take out a braid, I'm supposed to be brushing it. I gotta do that and get out. All the tangles. Do I have a new brush? Where's my new brush? Right here. Purple. Purple and? I can try it. Oh wait. Can't brush braids. You gotta brush my real hair. So now I'm gonna use the other side of the comb just to kinda brush out that like gunk and build up that happens. I've had these braids in for a little over two weeks. Ooh but it's not bad. I actually didn't go swimming at all. For the goodness. I know. I've never gone on vacation and didn't get in water before. I picked the hotels based off of the pools. Now the scary part of this is definitely gonna be the shedding. My postpartum shedding is real and I haven't showered in, I've showered. I haven't washed my hair in over two weeks so. It's always frightening in general when you take out your braids like the amount of hair because your hair naturally sheds but it's locked up so it doesn't fall. So it always looks like a lot. But in the meantime, let me continue to take out these braids and I'll come back to show you how I revive my curls. Almost one half done. But now it's. Bad time. Bad time. I'll see you all next time. Peace. And I'm back. Fresh out of the braids. It was big before it went in but it's even bigger now. And it is currently 1.41 in the morning. This took way longer than I thought it was. I don't know if I've taken out braids with like two full children before. So I have to keep stopping and starting over and over again and it just took 1,000 hours. So I might have to come back in the morning and wash it and show you how that goes because I have to go to sleep. The boys are gonna be up at 6.30 so. Yeah, here's how we are. Last time you'll see it this big and long cause like all these thin pieces that you see, gotta go. We gotta cut anything sparse. So it's like. See you in the morning. Good morning. Y'all, last night I didn't think it was gonna end. It was never ending. So, isn't it crazy how my hair could be like that big when it's wet? Flat, lifeless. So I did wash my hair. I did a double cleanse. I used my Oresos Curls Detox Scalp Scrub because my scalp needed it. This is a must. Then I got my Oresos Curls Apple Sider Vinegar Scalp in Hair Rinse and also just kinda more for the scalp. Then for some extra strength, I got my Bond Bar, number five, Bonding Conditioner and then I rinsed all that out. But now I'm going to give my hair a mask cause I haven't deep conditioned in a couple weeks cause of my braids and debating between doing a bonding mask and a moisture mask. Well, this has Vitamin C Hair Repair Mask. Let's go with Oresos Curls because it's just my favorite. This also has been giving my Not Your Mothers Matcha Green Tea Apple Blossom Mask a run for its money. It's definitely more pricey. This is like my second or third one but it's so good. Really getting it on those ends. But honestly, my entire head needs this right now. And then I'm gonna style my hair, get my curls back and then cut them off. Okay, that's good. It's not gonna be that drastic, I don't think. But I am excited for this cut. If you wanna see how I applied my shampoo and conditioner, I do have separate videos on applying those products in the showers so you can go back and watch those videos on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube to see how I did it. If you aren't following me, make sure you follow me on Instagram and TikTok at Ms. Bianca Rene. All right, saturate that. Ah, my head does feel a lot lighter. This Vitamin C Repair Mask does smell like Vitamin C. It's definitely giving me like an orange blossom scent and it's thick but not too thick for my fine hair. Right get in. All right, now I'm gonna let this sit for at least 15 minutes. Put on a shower cap, maybe put on a thermal heat cap. Let it really heat up in there. Rinse it out and then I'll come back to style. I am back all deep conditioned. Now let's style. I'm gonna add the Bon Bar No. 6 Bonding Styling Cream. We're all about repair at this point, strengthening, giving some extra love to our hair. I don't really like to use this cream on its own but I kind of cheat it like as a leave-in but I will be adding a gel on top. If you've never seen Bon Bar before, it is a Sally Beauty exclusive. I have many videos talking about Bon Bar if you wanna learn more about it. Now because I am cutting my hair today, I'm probably gonna have an amazing hair day. That always happens before I wanna cut it off. We'll see. All right, moisture cream check. Okay, I feel more like me. Now for the gel. Let's use the Curl Smith Hydro Style Flexi Jelly. Sometimes I'm just using all my face today. Do you wanna tell you, no, I use this a lot. Now I'll diffuse and be right back. And I'm back. Now my hair is fully washed and styled. It is trying to look really cute so that I don't cut it today but I'm not gonna fall for that. It's still just not as full and it's like, it's not giving me life the way I want it to. So I might cut this much. I might cut this much. I might have bangs. I might get highlights later. Who knows? But this is where we are now. I am happy that my curls are back. The braids are always found on vacation but taking them out is like, I never thought it was going to end. But they're back and they're gonna be even cuter next time you see me. So if you wanna see how my haircut looks after I attempt to do this on my own, well with the professional on my side, make sure you guys come back next week to see the full results or if you wanna sneak peek, follow me on Instagram and TikTok at MizBeyondGrenet. I'll see you guys next time. Thanks for watching BeyondGrenet today.
