Hi, I'm Neil Diamond and this is how I do my everyday hair every night.
I sleep with my hair in two braids.
So I have a really, really long hair as you can see, and it's super thick and I very much believe that long hair is actually secretly the most low maintenance hair and it's because I don't, there are a lot of things you can do with it, so that's why I like having my long hair and usually I shower, I'm a night shower person, so I shower at night and then my hair is wet and then I do it in these two long braids and it has the added benefit of making me look like Wednesday Adams when I sleep, which I'm very into like to have a look when I sleep also.
Um and then in the morning I take it out, which is really great, my hair gets really tang li and so there's one condition that I've been using since I was like 16 years old and it's kind of the only one I use.
And it's the Garni fruity sits in the green bottle.
It's very important to me.
Also, I brush my hair in the shower, so I use a brush.
Well my hair is wet under the water because it really helps with tangles.
I got this at Cbs I think, and then I usually put a spray a freeze spray.
So I like this rio Geo.
I'm probably saying that wrong farewell phrase leave in conditioning spray.
So I spray that all over, brush my hair and then put it in these two long braids and it's actually really not looking.
It's best.
I slept with my four year old son last night and he hits my head while I sleep.
So he's kind of ruining my hair routine, but usually it looks a little neater than this.
I've always had long hair my entire life, basically.
I actually have had a few moments where I've cut it short, it's always very impulsive.
I like go to the hairstyle and I'm like, I have to have it all off right now.
It's usually in the summer when I'm really hot because it's sort of like wearing a fur hat all the time, having this much hair.
So I've had a few impulsive moments, but my hair just keeps coming back.
She loves me, she grows back thicker.
Um It's a very good problem to have.
I'm very blessed with having a lot of hair.
I just had babies.
I just had twins five months ago in october and my hair while I'm pregnant gets even thicker and then postpartum crazy shedding.
So this is actually post shedding hair.
Okay, so now I'm going to take out my braids, which is what I do every morning.
So I put these, I put too little clips in here this morning because I was sleeping with my toddler, which is not what parenting instagram tells you you're supposed to do.
But he had a bad dream.
So it was a bad parent and I definitely messed it up sleeping in his bed.
Yeah, Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
So I really like the way that the braids give me.
If I was feeling super extra, I could take a heat tool and just get the top parts here.
But most days I don't really have time for that.
And then I do this thing, which I think I saw in a movie once it just lifts at the root cause definitely when you have those braids tight to your face, it can feel a little little severe and then sometimes they'll do a little flip just to bring the life back to my hair.
Then here we are.
I tend to avoid too many products in my hair if I'm doing it myself honestly.
Mostly cause I don't really know what to do with them.
Um, if I'm getting my hair done, I'm very happy with product that kind of my hair like will absorb a lot.
The only thing I'll sometimes use, I'll use that leave in conditioner again, the farewell frizz and I'm kind of like just give it a little spray and pat it down if it's a humid day out.
I'm trying to avoid some bridges.
So usually my hair is a little much to be in my face while I'm working all day, so I'll do a half up.
So I just kind of grab a little bit of my hair and twist it back.
If you look closely, you can see all the hair breakage, postpartum at my temples, which comes back.
So don't worry if it happens to you and then I'll just use a bow, a big bow girl and put it back like that.
Then I'm nice to meet up top.
I was a big middle part person before gen Z told me to, so I'm feeling pretty cool about that.
I grew up in London and even though I'm american, my parents, my parents are american, but I grew up in London almost my whole life and when I was a teenager, I really, really wanted a crazy color hair.
Um it was all the rage in London when I was in middle and high school and I wanted to dip my hair so I wanted to dip my hair in like purple or pink and I had all these friends who were doing and it looked so cool, but it just, I don't think my color is the right color to be dipped.
So I've had a few favorite things that I've done with my hair in the past, I have done, I love a good costume party for Halloween ones, I did a crazy bun on the top of my head and it was really cool, but it was so heavy that I literally lasted like 30 minutes of the party because I had the most intense headache of my life, which can be tough with a ton of hair and then I love my hair on my wedding too.
It was, I got a little lift on my crown, which was really, really fun, A little bit of teasing, teasing can be great um and that hairstyle took a lot, took a long time, but I find it very relaxing to get to get my hair done when I was 10 years old.
I think maybe a preteen.
My older brother used to make fun of me because he said when my hair is in front of my shoulders like this, I look like a springer spaniel dog and once you see that you can't unsee it.
So robert.
Here you go.
Here's me with springer spaniel ears in front of in front of my face.
Very attractive.
So thank you guys so much for following along on my morning hair routine.
I'm feeling ready to go to work, ready to have a day at the computer.
I've got my bow which is like my power suit, but I have my bow, I'm ready to take on the day, I'm feeling pretty good.
So thank you.
Bye.
Where?
Yeah.
Uh huh.
Yeah.
