Tip I recently learned from my fashionable friend is to invest in quality accessories. Accessories can really add a lot to an outfit and switching the accessories can change the vibe of your outfit without needing to change the clothes too much

U bet it is. The cost of branding it nto any style takes a lot of time. Once it gets old, the braids start, 2 come apart & the new growth makes them look ugly ,

It isn't that hard, its just bcause a lot of Bw, just dont want 2 wear their natural hair.Its much easier 2 put on a wig or wear a sew in.Even Ww wear extension.So whats the freaking prblm. U want 2 wear your natural hair, thats your choice. Stop dissing on bw Who don't want.

Personally I don't care how Bw wear their hair. Its no bodies business how Bw wear their hair. Bw r individuals, its their choice how they wear their hair ,whether its a wig or wherever Its a lie bw hate their hair & ppl need 2 stop pushing this lie. Bw have the luxury of wearing whatever hair styles they want. Ive seen Bw , wearing natural hair, that is unkept , older women wearing natural hair when they r almost bald..How a Bw wears her hair shouldn't define who u r.

Glad she acknowledged her privilege. Cause I was bout to click off lmao tired of women w (let’s be honest) type 3 hair being the spokesperson for natural hair.

This is so true, I mostly wear braided styles (mostly cornrows), so I don’t have too much of a dog in this fight. But at the end of the day, I love my hair, and the times in between styles, it’s not difficult. I will wear my plaits outside to run my errands, I’ll just be free and it’s feels so good. Natural hair is incredible and it’s have been the best option for my health, my scalp and my mentality. I refused to be gaslit by people that refuse to do self work, saying that relaxers are easier and the even worse lie of « it’s healthy »

Natural hair isn’t difficult if you’re willing to embrace your natural texture. The excessive maintenance comes from the use of texturizes, detangling, and styling with the intent to “loosen” your curl pattern.

For me let me tell you I love my curls but honestly I want length and to retain it. I get single strand knots if left in curl state and I would cut them off because when other hair got caught it would tangle. I have done it all to try to eliminate but it’s the nature of natural hair. So for now my hair is flat ironed and I’m loving it at the moment it’s easier I don’t have to wet my hair worry about knots and I don’t have to “get ready” for whateve like an hour earlier just for my hair. So it’s easier for me and I may not flat iron all the time but I think it will be blown out at minimum to keep it stretched and I will do this once or twice a month basically when I wash my hair.

I ❤both looks

Your hair looks beautiful and healthy!!

The original creator started calling it a "Fluffy press" and they were still mad at her because it wasn't pin straight. I've also noticed on the video of other creators that if they keep some texture in their press there are negative comments.

New here ! And I must say that your hair looks nice, im guessing I will have to go to the salon to get those results because my efforts keep coming up short 😭😅

I think product junkieism, full day wash days, and restyling hair daily definitely makes it hard. It all depends on what you really want to do with your hair. If wash n go's work for you, then they will be a breeze (if not, then they're are nightmare). If having an afro is comfortable and you encounter minimal tangling, it's easier than someone who absolutely needs to stretch their hair or is trying to make it do something it shouldn't. Natural hair used to be really hard for me, but now I can do mini twists in under an hour without looking! Finding what works with your hair is key.

Mielle repaired my hair so much these women often have permed or highly manipulated hair when they complain about hair loss

Being African, especially Nigerian has always been cool, maybe you're not.

Instead of getting rid of the detangling brush, you could still use it but in collaboration with finger detangling. That's what I do and I don't lose much hair on wash days. Either way your hair looks great in this video. I hope you hair loss becomes less of an issue for you.

It’s not Mielle! They have high quality products, but you have to be educated on the products and how to properly use them depending on your porosity and hair chemistry to use them properly. They have different lines some are packed with protein which requires you to balance it out with moisture or else the hair will dry out and break off. Essential oils aren’t for everyone to use daily. It can irritate the scalp so that’s some of the problem. People simply don’t know how to properly care for their hair which doesn’t work well with Mielle products.

Its mielle for others my friend has healthy hair and she never had any problems with her hair until this specific line. She didn't have any problems Mielles other products. I really hate the gaslighting the community is doing when so many people are showing the same type of hair shedding and lost.Whenever black women say something is harming them people even us find way to create doubt.Im thankful I stopped using her products when she and her husband doxed the youtuber because she gave a had review on another line she did and again with that line people hair didn't fall out but it was cheaply made. I use to use her products when it was actually organic. If nobody is doing the research then its a problem

Is it long hairs or broken hairs?

Keep it up Tsion!

i’ll take advice from anyone with your luscious curls!!!

Tsion,you are blessed.I agree with what you said.Continue to digout African culture & value system where it was burried.Thank you for inspiring the young people like you.

2:41 you already answered your question: What makes people think natural hair is hard? 3 hours in a steamy shower, breaking combs, brushes, and hair ties all the time, can't get it into a simple ponytail, all the conditioner, just to detangle, shampooing in sections, and the energy that is required. That's what makes makes natural hair hard to manage. Do you think people with straight hair do even a 1/4 of what a 4C sis has to do just to manage the hair and keep it healthy? The answer No. Because our hair is different, and that's okay. But don't get on hair and say it's not that hard. Yours might not be cuz like you said, you don't even have the same difficulty level as people with 4C or 4D hair.

Anyone that says 4C or 4D hair is easy to manage, or not that hard to manage is lying straight up, *especially* when you have multiple heads to do. I've done straight "white people hair" before, THAT'S easy. No one is going convince me that me and my kinfolks hair is EASY or NOT THAT HARD. It's tightly coiled, INHERENTLY dry, tangles easily, and don't even get me started on type 4 FINE hair!

Yes yes and yes! Learning how to prepare ensembles that make you feel good and fit you is the actual meaning of being stylish, versus just buying more stuff hoping it’ll fix the problem

nah I disagree. For bbl, lip fillers, etc people say that because it is superfluous, you’re not getting bad treatment cuz your lips are .2mm smaller or having a bbl will not change ur life. But like hair is WAY more important. You have long thick 4a hair if I had ur hair hell yea I would wear it out. Imagine everytime you did a twist out you would hear that it looked a mess. And it not just being from a nagging parent but you see how the world treats you differently with different hairstyles. I wear curly headband wigs and it really just made me realize that texturism (secondarily) but also the LENGTH of hair matters. If you have waist length 4c hair it doesn’t have to be defined it’s long. Im tried of people that don’t experience the same struggling telling us “just to not care”. Not caring and figuring out natural hair is a lot harder when there are consequences of embracing yourself time and societal. I love my natural hair, I big chopped rocked my lil fro in school and wore my natural hair often. But even I have grown tired with a society that doesn’t accept my hair like I do. Also with my headband wig, it costed me $150, I define the curls for like 1 hr every 2 weeks and I literally j plop and go, it’s way less effort for better results.

Self-acceptance is key.

I'm happy you're back

I feel like the biggest problem people have with natural hair is that they haven’t truly accepted their natural hair texture. I’ve been natural for 10 years and been accepting of my natural texture for about 6 years. My hair became so much easier to style and live with them I stopped trying to make it do things it wasn’t going to do. People complain about humidity messing up their style. Humidity wouldn’t mess it up as much if people styled their hair closer to their texture. For the past 2 years, I’ve been wearing mini twists and life has been even more simple. I spend 3 hours on my hair every 2 weeks with an additional few minutes twice a week to possibly retwist the front mini-twists or style the mini twist. My hair products do cost about $70 but I’m not spending that every month. I’m spending like $14-28 dollars every 2 months as I replace my products. And because I wear my natural hair so often, I actually know how to style my hair. I can do quick styles. I can do elegant styles. I never feel like my hair is such a mess that I can’t go outside the house with it. I used to feel like that with relaxed hair when it wasn’t styled. And early on in my natural hair journey, I used to feel like I couldn’t leave the house of my hair wasn’t purposefully styled. Now, I get the most compliments from the styles I just strung together to run an errand.

It doesn't take long to wash hair if you realize that u don't need all those products. Natural hair is so easy. And you don't need to wash it unless it's itchy and dirty. If you use less product it won't get dirty so fast. If you embrace the curls and just let it hair be it's so so so easy. So easy!

I don't wanna say it's difficult. honestly I am lazy. sometimes I do twists and the twist out does not come out good and I feel like a fool 😭to do all that effort and have my hair not look right when I need to go out in public. and then I still don't know how to style it/ redo it. I use to not like braids as a kid cause I'm tender headed and I always thought braids made my forehead look massive BUT I GET WHY PPL GET BRAIDS AND CALL IT DAY! I like that my hair is textured and doesn't fall down, it's cool. I just need to learn how to deal with more. Cause washing it isn't really a big deal for me it's just what comes after. I need to look up more vids on how to take care of my hair.

Well done 🎉😊

I’m tired of people saying natural hair is easy just because we want to shame people for admitting it’s tiresome to deal with it. It’s bordering toxicity. Some people’s hair is HARD to deal with. My hair is HARD to deal with. Putting on a wig with a good lace is one and done all week as opposed to constantly detangling and manipulating if you don’t want to LIVE in protective style. Braid down and fluff it everyday is somehow better than literally getting up and shaking out a wig?For who? Natural hair IS expensive. Going from relaxed to natural hair is so much more products because the maintenance is more constant. If you’re curly and have a loose texture I DEFINITELY don’t want to hear it. Love natural hair but don’t dog other ways to do your hair or shame women who admit they have to do something different for their lives.

Yes, natural is the absolute hardest. I don't care what anyone says. I went natural 10 years ago, it never got better. Maybe it's just a bad day but I am never able to get my hair the way I want. Natural hair is *the most* difficult.

i realised its not hard, we just need more time, patience and care. just like our people :)

Very good video, topic and delivery! 🙌🏾💯

Omg more people need to see this fr

Its not hard. It just takes some time to learn the hair on tour head ,what works ,what doesn't, but people dont like that initial part and are not patient to learn the hair on their head . NATURAL HAIR MAINTENANCE IS A SKILL .LIKE ANY OTHER SKILL YOU WONT BE PERFECT AT THE FIRST TIME . BUT PEOPLE DON'T WANT THAT .THEY WANT IT EASY ONCE YOU MASTER YOUR HAIR ......IT BECOMES EASIER

The Black Women who complain that natural hair is hard never gave their hair a chance for real to learn it. A lot of the time their hair was already damaged or extremely dry so of course it's not gonna do what he needs to do. I've been natural all my life, but I only really started to wear my hair, naturally, starting in fifth grade during the natural hair wave. Before then, my mama blow dry my hair, and then put it in twists. My hair wasn't damaged, but when I first tried to do my journey, my washing goes, would look a hot mess because I didn't know what products my hair would like. After trial and error, starting with shampoo and conditioner, because those are the foundation and will make or break your experience, it was easier to style my hair. Those wigs and weaves are way more high maintenance, aren't economical, and only look good for a few days.

What I hope for the future is for people to actually use the knowledge that internet has and put that inside their brain, so at least they know that Africa was a continent and still is. That should be basic knowledge at the very least!

It's not hard to be natural. I'm 4a. Love my texture but wash dsys are time consuming. Detangling and drying is not very fun for me. Both take an hour each....I have to sit down just to detangle otherwise I'll rush and break hair. Broken ènds are frustrating too. But I wouldn't trade my coils for the world❤

i feel like more African culture is being consumed online but I'm not really seeing it in real life

what's the dance called? the ethiopian dance?

Black women have been conditioned to believe our hair is "unkempt" when it is just a curly fro lol. We literally wake-up with it already almost in a hairstyle (just need a little shaping and moisture,) and we can walk out the door. Our hair does not have fly-aways like fine hair, so its easy to throw into a poofy ponytail. Our parts hold - we don't have to keep scraping at our head to keep a part. Our hair stays in place, so we don't need much gel. You just straighten some bangs or clip down some cute curly bangs and call it a day lol. It is "harder" in a sense to do afro hair, in a sense of detangling, and the amount of extra attention we have to give for keeping it moisturized, but once you have a routine down its no biggie.

I’ve been saying this!!!

I would love to wear twists outs during the summer but the heat and humidity imma look like Micheal Jackson , especially with a wash and go 😫

I don't know why I thought you taped that mic to a fork.

ur channel thumbnails eat 💅🏾

My natural hair care isn't time consuming. But my clean moisturized twisted hair is always covered with a crochet cap or a headband. Will it get me a job? No. Will it attract romantic interest? No. Will it inspire hair envy? No. But it's clean moisturized and twisted. If I want attractive, that's a whole lotta work or a wig.

No natural hair youtuber ever looks like the people with natural hair interviewed as a bystander by new reporters.
