Transcript

Morning. Don't mind me in my Primark pj's. I cut myself in bangs the other day. I love them. However, I have a cow's lick. No matter what I do, these bits of hair poke upwards. I did a brow lamination yes. Good me thinking. Could I laminate my hair? Don't no, but we're gonna try it out and see what happens. This is the kit that I used for my eyebrows yesterday. People get their hair pumped all the time. Do you think this is a bad idea? Well, there. Yeah. That's what needs to be done. I'm just gonna use some glue in my head. I don't know if this is gonna work. Then down. Use the lifting lotion first. Now I need to get this off. Setting lotion. No I'm gonna see you in seven minutes. By the way, I am gonna shower this off. You're not supposed to get it wet for twenty four hours, but best believe I'm not leaving this on my head. No I best brushed it. Seems to want to come forwards which before it didn't. I'm gonna quickly just blow dry it forwards best this section here. Just see how it lays. Oh my god. This fucking works. Fuck off. That actually worse. I now need to trim my my bangs. Yeah. But it worked. If anyone's wondering if you can get rid of the cow's lip using eyebrow lamination, you can. If I'm wondering what it looks like in the morning, this this is what my hair looks like after I've been asleep. It works.
