- Oh, my gosh!
I'm actually so shocked.
My hair feels like a new hair.
(upbeat music)
- Hi I'm Pip, and I am going
to be supporting hair routines
with Hanifah today.
It is lockdown part two.
I have four C hair,
she's got about 3b hair, I'd say.
The products I use are like moisture intensive,
'cause I've got lots of dense, thick, curly hair.
I guess that she needs things
that are quite light.
Her hair routine products
have been delivered to my house.
And I have a routine list
that I haven't taken a look at,
that I'm going to be trying.
So I'm going in completely blind.
- Yeah, I'm looking forward
to trying something new.
I've been trying to experiment
a little bit in lockdown,
but I have pretty much fallen
into my routine of my favorites,
so be interesting to see
if I like any of her things.
Honestly, I've never spoken
to Pip about her hair routine,
but just judging by the way it looks,
she always looks super together.
- You guys know I love Hanifah,
but she is a little bit hippy dippy,
she's a bit woo woo,
and I feel like there is going
to be some homemade (beep) going on.
I'm scared.
But let's take a look.
Hello Pip, welcome to my hair routine.
There'll be parts you like and parts you don't.
I like that she's written
me a letter, because quite frankly,
I did not have the time for that.
- Step one, prepare a cup of black tea.
Brew for around 10 to 15 minutes
and let it cool afterwards, full stop.
I'm serious, Hanifah.
This is how you know Pip knows me well,
because, not saying that I would have put
like warm tea on my head,
but, you know.
- Ooh, Aunt Jackie's In Control
Moisturizing And Softening Conditioner.
This looks nice.
- Do your parting the way you want it to lay.
Don't section off into three at the front
and get upset when you have
an Elvis quiff at the top.
I'm saying now, I'm pretty sure
at the end of this,
I'm probably gonna have
an Elvis quiff at the top.
- I need to go to the shop and buy some avocado,
I've got eggs, and some honey.
And then I need to soak some rice in water.
(sighing) Rice water stinks.
- I don't really understand what she wants
(chuckling) me to do.
I mean, I guess I'll find out.
Let's go and see.
(upbeat music)
- I've got my honey, my egg and my avocado.
So yeah, let's play kitchen hairdresser.
This is all gonna go in my hair.
(blender blasting)
- I've got everything here.
I've got my shampoo and my conditioner,
and the tea.
That should be interesting to use.
It's definitely in need of a wash,
like it no longer smells
like my leave in conditioner,
so, this is really gonna put Pip's routine
to the test.
- I've sectioned my hair in four,
like Hanifah's instructions said,
and I am going to spray the detangler in my hair.
And she said just like finger detangle.
- Okay, so my hair is wet, and very dirty,
ready to be shampooed, with...
I've used this before, ages ago,
and it gives me a really nostalgic feeling.
Pip said to lather, rinse, repeat.
I'm really, really going for it.
- This stuff smells good, you know.
Hanifah was like,
this strips your hair of everything.
And, usually I wash
my hair twice, not necessarily.
It is so clean.
- Conditioner time.
Found it interesting
that she didn't instruct me to section my hair.
She just was like,
let it sit on your hair
for two minutes, and detangle.
This kinda smells like food.
I don't know, it's giving me coconut curry vibes.
There's something spicy in it.
- The next step is the avocado,
egg, and honey mask.
This isn't as blended as I had hoped it to be.
(sighing)
Okay, this is going everywhere.
I think I just need to hold my head
over the bath again.
- Okay, so it's all absorbed in, kind of,
and now it's time to detangle,
but I'm not really sure where to begin.
(clattering)
This is why we don't use the easy detangler,
because it pulls your earrings out.
- I smell like a sandwich.
It's a little bit itchy.
And I don't like that.
- I feel like this is the kind of conditioner
that if you don't rinse it really, really good,
you're gonna get all kinds of (beep)
in your scalp, like so much build up,
it's so thick.
And it really smells like food.
- Oh, no.
I don't wanna be going about my business
and there's like an avocado chunk
just knocking about, like what's that about?
I can't even begin to tell
you how many times I've had to rinse my hair,
to get bits of avocado out.
Onto the next.
Aunt Jackie's Moisturizing
and Softening Conditioner.
I bet you any money,
while I'm going through my hair with this,
I'm gonna find bits of avocado,
and it's gonna make me really, really angry.
But what I will say,
is that the avocado, when I was rinsing it out,
it felt so soft.
There, there's all this build up, look.
More avocado, like, why?
- Now it's time for the black tea rinse.
Pip says that I have to put this in my hair,
and then leave it for 20 minutes.
But my worry is when I put it in,
it's just gonna sploosh out all over me,
and then I'm not gonna have it in my hair.
Yeah, see!
And now I smell like tea.
- That Aunt Jackie stuff is so, so nice.
So yeah, good stuff so far.
It made my hair really springy and stuff.
10 minutes in this, and then the rice water.
- So now it's time for the deep conditioning.
Mm, smells old school.
Again, following Pip's rules,
no sectioning, just vibes.
- Okay, it's time for the moment of truth.
(giggling) The moment of truth, you know.
But yeah, it's the rice water.
Smells like rice.
I don't know whether I'm meant to be detangling.
To be fair, my hair is so detangled,
it doesn't really need it.
For the spirit of the video, let's live a little.
Put all this stinky rice water in my hair.
- I've heated up the thing.
It feels really weird and squidgy,
but I'm really excited to use it.
I mean, I haven't looked at myself,
but you know the mushroom thing
from Super Mario, Toad,
I feel like that's what I look like right now.
- So home straight, finally,
I make it 19 minutes past 10.
We started at eight o'clock,
so not too bad, in the grand scheme of things.
We're out of the shower,
and we're just gonna do
some last sort of detangling.
Oh, this smells really nice as well.
These products are really good.
And I expected them
to just sort of slip out my hair,
but I'm definitely benefiting from putting it
in straight away.
It's been a relaxing sort of wash day.
Hmm.
- Okay, so I'm all rinsed,
my hair's been in a towel,
I'm gonna take it out and see.
Oh my gosh!
Oh my gosh.
I'm not being dramatic,
but this is the shiniest my hair has ever been.
I'm actually so shocked.
My hair feels like a new hair.
Oh, I look like a clown.
No?
Oh.
Now when people say grease the scalp,
I'm not really entirely sure what they mean.
It just says apply a small amount of this.
Palmer's Olive Oil Formula,
Olive Oil Grow Therapy.
- So for this part,
I'm just splitting my four sections
into two, plaiting them,
and then going over the ends
with a bit of this CBD Eco Styler Gel.
It smells amazing.
- So this is the As I Am Twist Defining Cream.
It smells really good.
And I'm just getting a bit of this.
Not too much, 'cause I overdid it
with the olive oil.
And then, I guess plait.
I've finished doing my hair,
and I'm honestly,
I kind of wish that I did the partings
a little bit better,
because it actually works out quite well.
Like I like the way that it flows.
I feel like when I was a kid,
this was a hairstyle that I would have had,
my mum would have done this.
But I'm looking forward to seeing
what the finished result is.
I can't tell really if this
is just like oiliness,
or if it's moisture,
but I'm hoping it's moisture.
- Hair wrapped, ready for bed.
See you in the morning.
(upbeat music)
Next day.
So for this part of the hair routine, I guess,
Hanifah has asked me to take down my braids.
I can't believe I'm on camera looking like this,
you know, this is mad.
- I slept with a bonnet on,
and it looks nothing out of the ordinary,
but I'm gonna be interested
in seeing how it turns out.
So let's go.
- She said I could leave it out,
which I don't think is possible ,
because of the way that it's been parted,
or put it up in a scrunchie.
So I think I'm gonna go with the navy.
That's kinda luxe, you know?
- So far I would say I'm quite happy
with the results.
Think it's minimal frizz.
Not complaining so far.
Okay, now this bit.
I'm not really sure
what's gonna happen with this.
Is it going to be an Elvis quiff?
I'm pretty sure at the end of this,
I'm probably gonna have
an Elvis quiff at the top.
Yeah, I don't like the parting.
But I respect it.
- She puts a little bit of Eco Styler
on the edges.
Looking good for my trip to Lidl later.
Okay.
So I'm done!
(upbeat music)
- So, we've reached the end of the road.
I ended up putting my hair in a bun.
Literally just because I didn't really love
the curl pattern.
But overall, I would say I rate Pip's routine.
Like I think it's really, really good.
She knows what she's doing.
- I really liked some of those products.
I thought the Aunt Jackie's Conditioner
was A1.
Like it smelt so good,
my hair felt really nice afterwards.
- Her routine is a reflection of her.
Like it says so much about her,
because, just like Pip,
it's got its (beep) together.
Like it knows what it's doing,
it gets stuff done.
- The avocado, egg, and honey mask.
It's a no from me.
My hair did feel really, really nice
and soft afterwards,
so it works, but I don't have the time
to be picking bits of avocado out of my hair,
and my bath.
- The lesson that we should have always known
is that everybody's different, in their own way.
We're all beautiful in our own way, and...
I don't know where I'm going with this.
If you have any hair routine tips,
comment them, you know?
Let us know, what should we do next?
Who should we swap with next?
What should we try?
