doing my hair according to my BIRTH YEAR 2012

Transcript

Doing my hair according to my birth year. If you want the prettiest hairstyle, all you have to do is type your birth year and hairstyle. This is what I got. I'm going to start by wetting my hair. It will be hard because the spray bottle is broken. Now that it's wet, I'm going to fix my side part. Since I don't have gel, I'm going to slick it with some mousse. To focus more on the front, I'm going to clip the back. I'm going to slick it and tie it. Now I need to make a really high ponytail, but my hair isn't short like the girl's, so it will be a little bit different. Now I need to clip this hair. I just realized I forgot the side hairs. I need to finger coil the side hairs. Time for the finishing touches. This is how the hair looks. Bye guys.
