Hina Han Lydia from Lydia and Alma on TH-cam did it. Her hair isn't as long but she did it. I can't remember which video but it's either how to lay 4c edges or Lydia' s fro tutorial were she did this style. She uses this method to stretch her hair.
The true Queen of Natural Hair styling. I've binge watched your videos since embarking on my healthy hair journey and joined the notification crew. You never disappoint. Such a natural beauty. ❤️❤️❤️
I didn't think the banded ponytail would look good on my hair because it's only shoulder length. By the time I finished and put the bands on my hair it came out so nice!!! The bands stretched my ponytail and my entire sleek ponytail looks so polished on my shoulder length hair. I'm so glad I found you again! Here's to restarting my healthy natural hair journey! Thank you, Laila!
Hair twin! My hair is similar to yours. It’s very thick, dense, and long! To my lower back when stretched . This video was so helpful, I’m going to try this on my hair.
Can I just tell you, I love this hairstyle! So simple yet so any occasion. I also like the stretched, non-tangled, blow out effect on my hair after taking it down a couple days later! Thanks for sharing!
So today I used this technique to put in a ponytail. I have super thick hair. I dont know why I haven't thought of this technique in the 5 years of being natural. Thank you so much!!
Literally my favorite style to 1. Dry my hair for a stretched roller set or 2. Put my already stretched hair away before i wash it. Super under rated hair style. I love that i can take the first anchor ponytail out when I’m home so there’s no tension and without messing up that style. I just put the ponytail holder back.
The queen 👑 of natural hair styling i be watching your video since my natural hair journey i just did my 2 year length check few days ago thanks for sharing alway looking beautiful
My favorite things: low maintenance style (ponytail) and low manipulation. This is a must once I make some elastics. Giving me Sade vibes. Your make up looked beautiful too.
This is so weird, I literally watched your sleek bun tutorial today as a reference for a look I’m doing on Saturday. And then you came and uploaded this! Perfect timing - so glad to see you’re back.
Hey @Laila our hair texture and length are very similar. Do you get really bad frizz even with gel. My hair tends to curl up on top and not lay down 😂.
I am sooooo happy you are back. You are such an inspiration. You have helped my hair in ways that you can't even imagine. Anywhoooo. I noticed that you had a protective style in while you were on your trip. I was wondering If you could please do a tutorial on what you do prior to braiding, how you maintain both the braids and your natural hair while it is in a protective style and what you do to keep your natural hair from breaking while and after you have taken the braids out. Thank you
Hey! Happy to be back 😊 I literally put the braids in for the sole purpose of the trip so I only had them in for 2 weeks. In that time I sprayed it a few times with my curls coconut milk or water leave-in spray thingy lol... Prior to it, I did my SheaBiscus Rainforest smoothie treatment and I did a light blow out for my braider. When I took them down, I detangled and moisturised. Put in some chunky twist and wore headwraps for a week to allow my scalp to readjust from the tension as I don't usually wear extensions. That was it! I jumped back into my regular routine after.
Those eyes😍😍 We love you Laila! You're a young, lovely, cultured and intelligent representation of our community. Keep representing chica, so proud of you! 🤗
Thanks for sharing wash day styles. I usually stay in the house all weekend with twists because I don't want to take them out while they are wet. I am going to try the style and the tip of applying the Blueberry Bliss to avoid the white cast from the gel.
You are beautiful, your hair is beautiful and the hairstyle is beautiful. This is one of my favorite styles too. In fact, I'm addicticted to this style because is simple, easy on your hair and looks good for any occassion.
I love how simple your style is. My hair is super thick and I could not put it in a smooth ponytail such as yours right out of the shower. Great inspiration to me 🥰
Laila! Thank you so much for this style. I tried it right away, and guess what? I also did it on a Sunday morning before church. lol It was a tremendous success and I received so much positive feedback. I was able to keep it sleek the full week. This style came in handy these last few cold wintery days. You're the best! Thanks again!
I'm definitely going to try this method! I love a low sleek pony but I do it once in a blue moo because it's too much tension on my edges. I have a LOT of thick hair and to compact it....it's a lot of work. Thanks so much for this. Bless up.
WOW 😥😥😣😣😣😍😍😍!!!! I just love youre hair so much! Even though i have had locs the whole time i've watched you (like 5 yrs) i still get a ton of style ideas from you 😁😁tfs!!!
1. I can't wait til your website is up! 2. I can't wait til my hair is this long so my ponytail looks like this when I try this style! 3. What is that lip color?! 4. You and you hair look flawless as usual!
Am I the only one who gets so excited when Laila makes a new video?? 🤗
lol Thank you! Will try to keep you excited as much as possible 😘
Nope not at all ! Lol
Thats right yall we were served lol..Laila your so fly...and always beautiful. Thanks for the video.
lmao! 😂 Thanks girl!
+FusionofCultures Heya girl...you probably already answered this question but what hair type are you
The ponytail is so gorgeous on you
Thank you!
Ooh yes I love it, simple, protective and still cute
Thank you Romae 🌺
Aaah yes, banded ponytails is a great style to wear when you don't have a clue what to do with your hair. A MUST hairstyle, love it!!😋😘
When you want a sleek ponytail, but your thick 4c hair ain't trying to hear it....lol. I guess i can live vicariously through this video. Love it ♡♡♡
Sis! I've seen the thickest of 4c hair ladies do it.. Defo do a search on youtube 🤗 Dont give up
Hoo please if i have someone in particular you can recomand us
Hina Han Lydia from Lydia and Alma on TH-cam did it. Her hair isn't as long but she did it. I can't remember which video but it's either how to lay 4c edges or Lydia' s fro tutorial were she did this style. She uses this method to stretch her hair.
I'm 4c. You can make this happen. I promise you.
The true Queen of Natural Hair styling. I've binge watched your videos since embarking on my healthy hair journey and joined the notification crew. You never disappoint. Such a natural beauty. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh tenk you!!!!! I'm humbled 😘💕
Ok now if I had the length, I’d be set!!! Love the videos!!
lol Thank you! If you really like the look you can try with with some marley hair too
I didn't think the banded ponytail would look good on my hair because it's only shoulder length. By the time I finished and put the bands on my hair it came out so nice!!! The bands stretched my ponytail and my entire sleek ponytail looks so polished on my shoulder length hair. I'm so glad I found you again! Here's to restarting my healthy natural hair journey!

Hands down the cutest updo ever...I will definitely be trying this!!!
I don’t know how I missed your low bun video but that thick hair ponytail hack is giving me life for wash day coming up. Thanks lady!!
Literally my favorite style to 1. Dry my hair for a stretched roller set or 2. Put my already stretched hair away before i wash it. Super under rated hair style. I love that i can take the first anchor ponytail out when I’m home so there’s no tension and without messing up that style. I just put the ponytail holder back.
The room is so nice!
I would love to see how the takedown looks! Given all of the banding
I️ would think that it would give this beautiful wave. Love it!😍

Luv, Luv this simple sophisticated ponytail. This is going to be my summer signature do. Thanks Laila

My sister used to do this style all the time! Love it!
Finally someone does it, I've been looking for natural protective styles to do the day I wash my hair.
Just BEAUTIFUL!
You AND your hair!! 😍
Beast!! Just plain ol' beast. You whipped that hair back and forth hunty!!
lol 😂 Thank you! 🌺💕
Beautiful yet simple, thanks for the vid! Can't wait til my hair is long enough to try
Thanks for watching Jada! You'll be there before you know it 💞
Lovely!!
I use a banded ponytail as my protective style under my wigs. I typically do it on wash day while in the shower.
Thank you for this video! I have been in dire need of “wash n go” style where my hair doesn’t have to be all out! Definitely going to try this 😍
Please do! it's so cute. 🌺
I did it and it is my new favorite style! Thanks so much :) I have pictures on my IG @goldengoddess_beauty if you want to check it out
Tried this style for the first time. This is a game changer for me :)
Laila, I’m so glad that you uploaded this video!!!!! I love this style!!
This is LITERALLY my hairstyle right now. I did it last night 🙌🏾 Excited for your upload! It’s always worth it.
Thanks Megan! Great minds 😉👯

Thank you! I completely agree 😊💕
Hey @Laila our hair texture and length are very similar. Do you get really bad frizz even with gel. My hair tends to curl up on top and not lay down 😂.
You do the best sliced ponytails.

Really like this hairstyle and the fact that the gel didn't stiffen your hair. I might have to try the Curls jelly now!
