 Hey curlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today. And today's video is highly requested for the hairstyle challenge that we're doing all year long, which is work or professional hairstyles. And I think the reason why I've taken so long to even make this video is because like, what does that really mean though? Like, I think all hair type styles are work appropriate. Like right now my hair down, this is work appropriate. And I wish somebody would tell me that is not. Even if it was bigger with more volume, it's still appropriate because this is how my hair grew out of my head. And if Becky can wear her hair down with the way her hair grew out of her head, it's obviously allowed. Am I right? But I mean, if you want like maybe some styles just to switch it up, so you don't look the same every day. Maybe you need to have your hair out of your face depending on your profession. Sure, we can try some basic styles that will not distract your insecure coworkers. That's fine, we can do that. So I'm just gonna wing it today. I don't know how many I'm gonna create, but let's just get going. So starting off on already like styled hair, I already have product in my hair. I'm gonna keep out a couple little curly dews because it already just like, just adds things to it. When you have a blazer on, everything you do looks professional, am I right? So let's just like do a little half up, half down situation. Nothing too crazy, no serious parts, like so. And we're not even gonna slick it. We're gonna keep it kind of like loose and goosey. Now you could use a scrunchie at this point or you can grab like a pretty little clip. This little moon clip is from CVS, from GSQ by Glam Squad. And there you go, hairstyle number one. Just kept out a couple curls, clipped it. Good back. Super easy, I'm running late to work and I have two minutes. Now let's do something similar, keeping the little curly dews out and we can just do a low ponytail. Should we start slicking things? Do you guys need to see it slick? Let's add a little bit. I'm gonna use my EcoStyle Black Castor and Flaxseed Oil Gel once again. It's just still on my desk, so it's easiest to grab. But let's just slick down a little bit with some gel. This can be as slick or loose as you prefer. Your hair, your rules. Or it's gonna do a low ponytail. You can use a silk receton scrunchie or you could use a regular ponytail. A regular scrunchie doesn't really matter. Like so, low ponytail, two little curlies. Business profesh. Now let's say you want it up and out of your face. Let's go up. Now it's gonna be kind of like a messy-ish bun but here's the trick to a bun. You actually wanna keep your curls in the front and then you pull them down. Ta-da, hair is up and away. I'm here to check you in for your three o'clock appointment. Easy, right? If you don't want any hair in your face, just put everything away. Up to you. And that's the beauty of curly hair. Like it could be as messy as you want it to be and it still looks cute because your curls are always popping. Let's do another down look. Let's keep it all down. Except for the front. So I'll do a little bit of parting. Let's take this piece right here, this front part. Does not have to be perfect. Okay, we've got our two pieces and put the rest away. And let's make a better middle part. Now I'm gonna get it wet and I'm gonna slick it down. Oh, not you, you stay on your side. Like so. Now I'm gonna get more of my gel and slick it down. Ooh, this is a nice and shiny. Gonna see my bangs coming in. Slick it down. The behind the ear. Keep out baby hairs if you want. I don't know, baby hairs are work appropriate. I don't know, whatever you wanna do. Now you tie these two pieces in the back. Let's use like a little small rubber band. Then we take the rest of our hair down. Now you've kind of made like a headband. Out of your own hair. See now that would be cute, but it's like a little bow, but that's probably not work professional. That's probably just Fred and I cute. But anyways, so now that adds like a little bit of texture to your hair being down. Since we've started, let's go for the super slick look. Using a middle part. We're just gonna wet the top of my head. That's where things are gonna be slick. Grabbing some more gel. This gel does work very well for the shine. Anytime we're doing a slick style, you wanna get like a bore bristle brush that looks like this. Or this, I have different ones. That's gonna give you the slickest look versus like a normal detangling brush. And there's the look, just kidding. All right, now let's slick this back. Oh, that's cute. I think I need baby hairs. Is that not allowed? Now we kept this dry. It's not gonna be all flat. Are they gonna use a regular scrunchie for this one? So it's nice and tight. And there you go, super slick and super professional. And you can do different variations of this same look. So you can just do straight back or you could bring it all to the side and wear it to the side. Try to bring the little curlies in the front back. Kinda got my little curlies back. It's usually better if you don't do 50 hairstyles at one time. Let's rewet this. And let's do a little twist. I've kinda done this in a recent video. Just gonna twisting my hair back like so. Then I'm grabbing this little clip, then securing that there. And then do the same thing to the other side. I got these gold clips by Jamie Lauren. I will link them in my description box. Then you can lead the rest of your hair down. Go just a little bit of, little hint of pizazz. Nothing too crazy, nothing to distract your coworkers. Just a little gold. Or you can take these pieces. Oh my poor day one hair, so beautiful. This is great to do when you're on your end of the week hair. So you can just keep doing styles. Twisting it, pulling it back. I'm just gonna use this for now. And then taking this side, twisting it. If you can French braid, go for it. You overachiever you. Then you make like a little twisted crown. Maybe instead of this clip, if you don't want anything showing, you can just get a bobby pin and connect the two. This is another little accessory from CVS. Then the GSQ by Glam Squad collection. Stick it, just clip it like so. Bobby pin, pretty pin, whatever floats your boat. And for my last trick, I'm just going to put it all up in a clip. This is my favorite clip from Pattern Beauty. A lot of my clips were from the 99 cent store. And then I realized that there is a difference from clips that are more than a dollar. So I'm kind of twisting it, pulling it down. Grabbing my clip and clipping it in place. So you can have it like this. I think I might like it better without the twist. I would probably just undo that. So it's like more slick, but that gives you more of like a slick part up top if you don't want the messy bun look just on its own. But that way your hair is just up and away.
