GORILLA SNOT GEL Review + Updated WASH AND GO Routine 

Hey flawless! Below is a detailed video and step-by-step pictorial of my 1st Impression Review on GORILLA SNOT GEL + my updated WASH AND GO routine. I tried both the SPORT and PUNK versions because they both have a hold of 10, however I do have a FAVORITE...Watch the entire video to see which I like more!  






| 1 |

I recommend starting with freshly washed hair. However I started on dry (3-day old) hair. Using the L.O.C method, saturate your hair with H20, Coconut Oil, & a creme-based leave-in conditioner before applying gel.  

| 2 |

This is the GORILLA SNOT GEL in PUNK. Super intense, heavy-duty,  & gooey with a fresh scent that's amazing! Remember Herbal Essences?...well yea very similar!

| 3 |

Because this gel is so thick, I suggest patting the outer surface of your hair section before you work the gel all the way in, in order to cover your stands.

| 4 |

Once you've covered the entire section go back to shingle the hair starting from the bottom and working up. This will ensure all the strands are covered, especially if you have thick hair. 

| 5 |

Introducing the GORILLA SNOT GEL in SPORT. Also super intense, heavy-duty,  & gooey with a minty smell! There's also a cooling effect to this, so perfect for summer!


| 6 |

Prepare your hair using the pineapple method and tie a satin scarf for added protection...enjoy your beauty rest!


| 7 |

To elongate your hair, simply part your hair in workable small sections and focus the nozzle of your blow dryer on medium heat at the roots only!

FLAUNT IT! 

Now your hair is completely stretched and you're all set!

Enjoy gorgeous & go FLAUNT your fierceness!

HOW TO: BANTU KNOTS ON NATURAL FLAT IRONED HAIR

Hey beauties! Below is a short detailed video and step-by-step pictorial of how I accomplished my beach waves via bantu knots. I just love how easy this style is to do, along with the benefits of heatless curls that feel moisturized and bouncy!  





| 1 |

By using the tension method, start off with blown out hair.

| 2 |

Flat iron your hair with medium-high heat. Not too high however, and be careful not to damage your strands by making sure to use a thermal protector.

| 3 |

Section your hair in 4 sections and start from the back to work your way up. Take a small section (of one of the forth sections) to begin the bantu knot process. 
*If you want looser waves (longer) twist more hair. 
*If you want tighter waves (shorter) twist less hair. 

| 4 |

Simply twist the entire section of hair until it starts to curl. Once you form the curl wrap and twist the hair simultaneously. Use the end of your twist to lock the knot in place. Use mini banana clips or bobby pins to secure in place as this is on flat ironed hair. 
*If any of the knots loosen, go back to tighten. Make sure all knots are consistent, otherwise this will effect the overall results. 

| 5 |

Tie a satin scarf or bonnet over the bantu knots and enjoy your beauty rest!

| 6 |

Apply a serum or oil to your hands to avoid potential frizziness. To take down, simply unwind the opposite direction of the twist formation. They will look somewhat odd like noodles, but don't worry almost done!

| 7 |

Separate each twist in 2-4 smaller sections based on your preference. 
*I separated mine in 3 parts then gently finger 
combed with serum on my hands.  

FLAUNT IT! 

If you'd like, slick your edges with gel. You can also change the position of your part.

Enjoy gorgeous & go FLAUNT your fierceness!
