 Hey everyone, I'm Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today, and today, I have my mother-in-law with me, and we're about to get her hair done! This is her very first diva cut, so I gotta take her to the best, taking her to see Eze and Donatella and Emily. Let's see if I remember how to get there. How do you feel? Are you nervous? She's a little nervous. I think anything will be good though. She's new to the natural community? Yes. Very good. Hi! Hi! Hi everybody! Here we go. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Donatella, the last one. I love that. One second. Okay, thank you. So we're going to do a little consultation with you. We're going to figure out what you want to do with your hair. It's actually really healthy for you, never wearing it curly. Very suppressed. Straight stragglers. Straight stragglers that had not gotten with the program. In the back we're not going to clutch it at all. Okay. At least until tomorrow we're done with the color. Because I don't want it to be short. Then with the wet? Oh, she's not doing color. Oh, okay. No, I'm not doing color. Okay. Sorry, I'm glad you're done with what? So we're like baby steps. Baby steps. No color, not this step. So if you aren't familiar with the diva cut technique, that is when you get your curly hair cut while it's dry in its natural state. When a stylist is diva certified, they know how to do this the right way, and they cut on a curl by curl basis, just really cutting what actually needs to be cut. The best thing is, if you have curly hair, you know how frustrating it is to have your hair washed, cut wet, and then you have no idea how your hair is going to look until it dries hours later, maybe not until you get home. But the beauty is when you get a diva cut, you're literally seeing your new haircut form and shape as it's happening. Always a good sign when you see just little tiny curls left on the floor. This is not a big chop. When they actually say they're going to do a trim, they actually do a trim. I'm also really excited to bring in my mother-in-law, Meredith, because she has type 4 hair. So I have not been able to show a different curl pattern on my channel. So this is how you can really wash and style your hair if your curls are also this tight and coiled up. This is definitely type 4 hair, probably even 4B4C. Like much earlier we had water too, so that's a really good sign. Have you used to build a buster yet? No. No. It's going to remove any oil, any build up, or any impurities that have been sticking to your hair and don't allow any hair to penetrate your hair. Then treat it as a traditional shampoo and I'm going to give you a nice scrub and then I'm going to massage it into your hair. Okay. You guys know I love the build up buster. Delight, just because it smells really good and I want, it's easier to detangle with the one condition versus detangling just with the deep conditioners. It will keep you a little bit of a slight glide. Don't apply the product directly to your scalp. Now it looks like I just applied them directly to your scalp. I do want to moisturize your roots, but I'm not going to smear it into your scalp so that it fills up where it creates any flat areas. At the Diva Salon you'll also notice that they don't really use a brush or comb when detangling your hair. They are very strong advocates of finger detangling so you don't lose too much hair while you're getting rid of all those knots. So after she detangled, she let them melt in the moisture deep conditioner really sit and penetrate in her hair for about 10 to 15 minutes while she reads the Curly Girl Handbook. After she let the deep conditioner sit for about 15 minutes she rinsed only a little bit of it out. The melt in the moisture is a deep conditioner that you don't exactly have to rinse out. You can leave a little bit in and use it as a styler so she just wanted to rinse out enough to where she wouldn't get product build up but left in a good amount to still style her hair. You see how beautiful her curls they look, not even the product did. Just a tiny bit conditioner. We're just going to go a small section just a massager curl so a little bit more. More what do you like. Take a little bit of the cream create a massager of those curls and constantly keep adding more. One thing that I've definitely learned about type 4 hair is that it is best to apply product on your hair while it's soaking wet. You'll see that she keeps applying a lot of water even while adding the styler. It just makes your curls look more defined and easier to manage. You know the curl look you get here at Curl's Model 1? Hands on love. I get it so much love. Hands on your hair. Spray gel. It's called beautiful. Do you have a product? Spray gel. I still haven't tried that one. Interesting. But it's there. Dino curls holding out on. You've got to give me some curls spray. I'm telling Sam my Dino Berry. I don't like to have too much of the crunchy of the gel. It's like that beautiful touch that gives you enough hold to your curls. Do you sleep on the side of your hair? No. So what I'm doing, I'm massaging her hair all the way to the roots. Making sure you give those curls some love. Because usually curly hair, what happens is they shrink. So in order to bring the curl up, we massage it really good. Now Meredith does have high porosity hair. That means that her hair likes to soak up moisture and product very quickly. So that's why her hair can take so much product. But the last step is to diffuse. I'm going to massage into those curls. And then look at the final results. What do you think? I can't believe that. I told her are those curls. Look at the back. How long it looks now. Give me thoughts. I'm going to come back. She's just cleaning up any other little stragglers. Making sure it's perfect. That's what I love about this. You see how short your curls look before? Just by massaging, you make those curls stand out more. Wow. I love it. You love it. I don't know if I told you before, but you love it. It's so good. And there you have it. The before and the after. Look at that curl definition. I love it. You love it? Are you going to straighten your hair ever again? Yeah. I'll put more information on the curls one on one. I'll put their link and all the information below in the description box. Please subscribe for more Curly Hair videos.
