Henson here, and I'm going to show you something a little different.

I'm gonna show you how I do my press and crawl E don't know if you've been following along with my hair journey with the release of my new product line T pH by Toraji.

But I went natural, and I consider myself a bit of a hair chameleon.

And what I've noticed since I've been natural is that I get bored, I get bored and I want to try different things.

We decided to cut it and we changed the color.

Now, I've already wash because if we did have to wash my hair child will be here for two days.

Um, you have to You must get into caring for your scalp like you do for your face.

Because if you do not clean your scalp know that whatever is on your scalp will end up on your face.

I look at the scalp as, like soil, right?

If you take care of your soil, you will read an incredible harvest, right?

I do an exfoliant using, um T pH back to Rodgers.

It gets rid of all the buildup and gunk that's from your hair from styling it all week from products.

And then I followed that up with Master Cleanse, which is also for the Scout.

Now, if you notice the scout care line has these, um, these prongs, this is a try touch pronged, which actually helps the product get to your scalp because what I found with my natural hair, it's so dense when I would try to use products to get to my scalp to clean it, I would have toe wash it several times because my hair is so thick and the product would would take forever to get to my scalp.

So that's why we created this try touch applicator.

I followed that up with mint condition, mainly make condition.

I used it absolutely toe condition my scalp.

But I actually made this entire line when I initially started.

But then when I went natural, I noticed that I needed extra help getting this down to getting products down to my scalp So it actually works for installs and natural hair.

So you need is much moisture in your hair is possible on my hair tends to get dry just like my scandal in the winter.

So I add on extra moisture and honey fresh.

My honey fresh shampoo is Oh my God, it's so lovable.

It loves your hair and it gives it the moisture, the slip It needs a shampoo that gives you slip What?

And then I follow that up with Make it rain.

And people are loving this conditioner because it is lovely and the slip all the slip you need.

You can run your fingers through your natural hair.

After I did all that, I blow drying my hair.

It's a Felisha Leatherhead and see, I really use it.

I'm a little embarrassed, but Felicia, send me some more brushes.

Girl, I love this brush because it dink tangles your hair really well.

Really Well, after I blow drying my hair and I curled it the first time so I can mold my hair.

Then I wrap it at night so that Wow, that's a perfect wrap.

This is what we do for people who just are interested in natural him and I have natural curly hair.

Usually when we press our hair, we get it straight.

If I had a perm, I would just have toe wrap my hair after I blow dried and I'd be done There's a processes levels to it when you have natural, I blow dried it and then I flat iron it with these.

I use ceramic flat irons to flat iron My hair.

I use the smaller ones for the back and then I wrap it and I can show you quickly a rap because I know people are like a what?

So let me just take you to the beginning of a rap.

So this is after I blow dried and wash my hair, and I was straightened it out right now to prepare for nighttime, I wrap it so I brush it all down like this.

You just go around in a circular motion holding what you brush down already making sure to grab the pieces in the back, sweep it around, then you get your favorite scarf.

Y'all had this car for, like, 20 years to deliver.

So you have your hair wrap down like this, and then you grab it all and you tied in the front early, snug and tight.

And then what I like to do to, like, really enforce the rap is slide it around like that and I go to bed and then when you wake up, you take it down.

So now I'm going to style my hair, Um, is a bit of a asymmetrical class, and you see, I changed the color two guys.

I really I literally get bored and it's a pandemic, and I have nothing to do but come into this salon and play with my hair.

I am going to attempt this body wave, but I'm gonna section off.

Oh, this This is another great item you should use, or you should have their bone combs and they don't melt.

When you're using heat of your pressing your hair, you know how sometimes you guys the hair down the shaft with the heat plastic combs melt.

So I like to section my hair off, and then you drag the hair back because I want my hair to go that way.

It's all in the flick of the wrist, honey.

Tim Wallace told me that he has a hell of a flick of the risk.

The object of wrapping your head and the reason why you wrap your hair is because you want to do less heat on your hair.

You don't wanna put a lot of heat on your hair because it's damaging.

But see, that's why I love a rap, because I don't even really have to go in that much in the back because it's already flat.

So body wave is all about creating texture and making your hand look like that movement texture.

And so that's what I'm trying to create here, See, because you don't want it to too tight.

My mom was a single mother and, you know, trying to get herself glammed up and me cause I was particular about my hair.

My hair texture is very different from my mother's, and she really had a issue, Um, working with it.

So my mom started permit my hair when I was at the white bold age of six, and I had my hair permed until I was 26 when I moved to L.

I don't know if you know this movie, baby boy, the stylist on the hairstylist on their talked me into going natural, but I did.

I didn't know how toe work with my hair was 26 years of getting my hair permed and being manageable and easy.
