Reason I love natural hair: no more expensive hair products/treatments, with long lasting damaging results, I can enjoy swimming without worrying if gets wet, I have freedom to exercise and not worrying about sweating out a relaxer. Natural hair is unique and versatile, grows faster and healthier. You control your hair, your hair does not control you. Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder, never allow anyone to tell you what is beautiful.
They hate what they can't be, natural exotic earthy beauty cant be duplicated low key jealous people pick at what intimidates them.
yknight this awakening has really been eye opening and freeing for me! It may be hard to see but it’s true. Real love, real self love doesn’t berate. We’re all entitled to our own opinions and feelings but a lot of what I see is not preference it’s hate! Hate disguised as self love or “confidence”
If you’re picking at anyone or anything I say check your hate. If it’s just something you don’t like ok but if it’s more it’s pointing something back at you. Something inside reflecting a “truth” you see about yourself and you’re not projecting making this world less safe and pleasure able for all 😈

every time I wear my hair in a fro my family makes me feel bad abt it so I'm really glad to see people like you on youtube. I love and appreciate you and your content!
Your fro is amazing and as Joy-el has said: Your crown.
@@xxxthoughtlessxxx You as well and thank you
How do you deal with this? Because my grandma does the same thing and it really bothers me as I'm trying to learn to love my hair.
I don't know if this falls into the category of 'easy for me to say', but if you _really_ like your hair, who cares what people think about it.
I've had people in my life say that my hair would _really_ look great if I did a braid/twist/bantu knot out, all the Outs. My brother even said to me recently, after I took my twists out for good _(I had twists for a few years to hide/grow out damage...though, I retwisted every 1.5 - 2 months),_ that "Once you get your hair done..." -- I told him it was 'done' and kept it moving, while he looked embarrassed... I don't know what my brother saw on my head that made him think my hair wasn't ready for prime time, but I do know that the people who want me to rock an 'Out' style prefer manipulated curls to the real thing. I could care less, all I have to please is me and I love my curly fro. After deep conditioning, leave-in conditioners are all I put in my hair.
*Side Note:* It's a funny exchange when people say my hair would look good if I did X. I just repeat with a smile on my face _'No, I like the way it is'._ Some think I just don't understand what they're "really" getting at, as if manipulated styles are the prized possession, so they repeat it...after I repeat myself a few times they start to get the point. 😊

The Afro is the original halo the Bible talks about 😍😇
Beautiful comment. It is so true. Thank you for sharing!
Very true 🙌🏿
Luv the afro! (Just as a sidenote: The halo is actually of pagan origin.)
Which scripture is that?
AJ L you’re welcome 🥰the truth is the truth!😊🙏🏽
Your Afro is so beautiful and looks so well with your face. Your hair is “everything,” as they say.
I relate to this so much! When I first when natural ( in 5th grade), I was made fun of for my TWA. I was told I looked like a man and my favorite teacher told me he liked my hair better when it was permed. It was painful, it made me feel very insecure. Getting to love my 4c natural hair was a journey and I can now confidently say that I love my afro and I'm NEVER going back to perms ❤❤
That teacher is awful! Good thing your loving your natural hair now
true!@@phylliskimani7626
I don't like a sad Joy-el. And so I'm gonna work on a list of reasons why I am obsesesed with this channel, to be included in this comment.
1: Type 4 hair is f*cking beautiful.
2: Joy-el inspires me with my weak @$$ type 2/3 hair and those w/ type 4.
3: She should never feel sad about her looks. Joy-el is serving us all modelling looks 24/7.
4: An inspiration to biracial/mixed race people with type 4 hair
5: Type 4 is indeed versatile and can go through a LOT.
I'm sure I'll have more. But again: JOY-EL IS QUEEN.
6: She films everything she does w/ her hair for her viewers.
7: Proudly showcases black owned businesses and promotes them in her videos.
8: Is a prime example of biracial women not all looking like Zendaya or the same as each other.
9: If I had type 4a-4c hair, Joy-el would teach how to make me feel like a king because she's that confidence inspiring.
Ok I'm done for now. Joy-el we love your channel! :D
No doubt she is.
Totally agree!!
I’d add to your list that she’s given support to black owned businesses. She’s shown courage to be open about her struggles (there’s beauty in that). Has proven that being biracial is versatile and not a one size fits all (which is necessary and beautiful).
@@nosillaxoc I will add that in!!!
4 real 💯
Don't mind me I'm just over here loving black women.
Who would have ever told you that you were ugly. You have a fantastically beautiful face. I as a Lilly white girl with wavy hair would love to have an interesting hair type. You are an extraordinary person or I wouldn’t have kept watching
I'm almost at full acceptance. This self-love journey is a trip❣
👩🏾🦱🖤🏵
full acceptance comes by realising who you are. you are precious, beautiful, perfect, but you don’t need me to tell you that, Jesus knows it’s true because that’s how He sees you. He loves you so so much, more than anyone ever could or ever will. all He wants is to talk to you, know Him for who He is, not what the world made Him to be, believe in Him and trust Him. God bless, have the most blessed day ❤️
@@jcicrafters5724 I tell myself that everyday. That I'm made in His image and according to God I'm beautiful. And I'll tell myself that how many times I have to until I believe it. I love Him with all my heart, body, mind, soul and strength.Thank you for the words of encouragement. God Bless🙏🏾
a very Happy and Blessed Friday to you 💞
Same almost there
Don’t forget how they tan but act like our skin tones are ugly! I am so thankful for RUclips and other platforms that have allowed me to find other black women and to be inspired by our beauty. ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Who is they??
@@teemarie5478yk who
I also don't like how most people are judgemental about our natural hair saying that it's not beautiful unnatural and unprofessional which i think that's not true at all i love and embrace our real true natural hair too to be honest i also want to share that afro is also my favorite hair style too i also think natural hair is beautiful too!
I cut off my relaxed hair about 3 weeks ago and for the first week, it was hard because I spent so much time trying to make my type 4 hair look like type 3. I thought that’s what I was suppose to do to be accepted as a natural because You rarely see type 4 girls rocking their Afros online and in public. Also I would spend hours finger coiling my hair just to realize that it wasn’t worth it. I recently ran across your videos and since then, I’ve been wearing my Afro out. You have inspired me so much, so thank you! It’s not easy rocking your fro in public but I hope (like what you did for me and thousands of others) I can inspire at least one little girl with hair like ours, to wear it out and know that it’s beautiful.
Absolutely! The versatility of our hair always amazes me! I’ve rocked my fro like one time and I didn’t like the stares I got but I’m seriously considering just wearing my hair out. Like why does type 4 hair always have to be “styled”?
Your are stunningly beautiful. I can't believe you ever questioned that. I did the big chop a month ago. I've been growing it out for 10 months under box braids. The first time I saw my true raw natural self I stared and cried for a couple of hours. At the age of 44 I finally got to see who I really am and I love it. I wish a relaxer had never touched my roots. My hair isn't easy to manage, but I'm enjoying learning and nurturing my crown. I can't wait to see where it will be in another 10 months.
Yesss Nikki! Congrats! Beautiful testimony!❤
I love to show people you because people fetish having mixed kids because of curly hair, but you are proof you don’t know what you’ll get and all is beautiful! No texture discrimination!!
Type 4 hair is the most versatile. I loved my hair from my first big chop🖤
I'm dead, ducks with ant butts 😭😭😭 it's so refreshing and awesome to see how passionate you are about your fro! Here for it!
You are pretty girl yourself,you should do video
Girl I was cracking my knuckles mad as hell when you you were talking about that guy smacking you in your head. Wtf is wrong with people? And you looked like you were about to cry? That's assault. Anyways, I'm glad you are proud of your natural 4C hair. So am I girl.💁 Keep your head up!
I first went natural at 20. I learned to fully love my natural hair at 21, it took me a year because I was unsure how to style it. I feel the most beautiful with my natural hair and will NEVER go back to relaxers. When I had relaxers i never liked my hair, now I love it! :)
u are correct. type 4 hair is the most rare texture. not only that, its extremely unique n to proudly wear it is awesome. wish u could get more chicks to feel that way
millions of ppl have type 4 hair... the rarest hair texture is actually type 1a hair
not true. on a global scale across the 4 main "races" Every texture exists. It is only black who have the tightest of curls makin that hair type most rare
@@codyjailbird4101 i dont want to argue .. google it and you will see that very few people actually have 1a hair
Our hair is not the most rare. Lol
tell me who else has "our hair" then..
I'm Indigenous and I find type 4 hair beautiful and respect all the time and love that goes into the care.
Also if I may add Jesus himself had afro hair and was Black so umm yeah.
People that can't be what they admire sometimes project their hate on those who have what they can't. Continue to be proud of all that you are 💚
That right there
indigenous..hehe .i like that.
Look I am all for black pride but the Bible says nothing that detailed about Jesus appearance we just know he looked Jews of the time. Please don’t spread false information.
@@gabbicassell7704You do know black Jewish people exist in those societies too right. The bible describes his hair as wool, only type 4 hair mimics that texture. & Ppl who usually have it descended from a black person.
@@gabbicassell7704No, he’s black and she didn’t share false information.
I keep my hair in cornrows because I’m all about protective styling, but I almost fall in loveee with my Afro every time I see it! I absolutely love your channel, and I hope my Afro can be as big and glorious as yours soon!
Who doesn’t love an Afro or curls in general ❤️❤️❤️😍😍 must me crazy
I wear wigs because my dad would FREAK OUT if he found out I cut my hair... but believe me I'm taking care of my hair underneath my wigs.
Frl
I was hit on the back by a highly melanated man a couple summers ago: who flat out told me that I was walking to slow and taking up his space😮God had told me to wear my backpack 🎒 that morning in order to put my groceries in there! It was definitely a shield.
We are always loved and protected the truer we become and the more grateful we are to the one Divine Source that created us.
Yepeee!🎉❤
I remember when Kim K wore a big afro textured wig. Omg! I loved when I had short twa. It was so fun. I felt feminine and confident. I had soo many big and long ethnic earrings to wear with it. An elderly white lady told me she wished she could wear her hair like mine.
You are so right about how beautifully an Afro frames our face, Joyel! This is not a put down but I see so many black women who choose to wear their hair straightened and I imagine how they would look with their true crown of afro hair. Almost every time, they are instantly more attractive! Example, although she hasn’t chosen to wear her afro out yet but is now in braids, is news commentator, Joy Reade on MSNBC! I cheered when I saw the transformation! If women of color realize how truly beautiful we are it is such an empowering moment of self knowledge and self love!♥️
It doesn't look right on my face. I have 4c hair but It's too short and I hate it.
I love how proud of your blackness you are. Salute
JOY-EL IS QUEEN.
Yes, I love my twa afro
We are the only race with hair like this!!! How cool is that?
we are also the only race with big lips and curves. Any other race with them are mixed with black
Your afro is so cool you are such a beautiful sista natural and earthy, I'm black always love afro so prideful the texture hair I got my hair cant take the shape. Melanin is popping you dont need makeup! Afro texture hair is so pretty you can do many styles.
I’ve been natural for 1 year and 4 months! First time natural and I love every minute of it and so does my husband! Chopped it at 2-3 inches now it’s growing even faster ❤️
"Ducks with ant butts" 🤣🤣🤣 we're all aware of the lies they tell Sharmaine!! We are BEAUTIFUL!! Really positive video ❤
They be admiring!!! Trust me. I wanna start my hair journey soon I'm scared it's big and dont know how to control it I'm mixed too. BLACK AND ASIAN been straightening since middle school. Your videos make me a little more confident every wash day I think to myself I should just go like this..... one day I will.
Love your videos and stay strong❤❤❤❤✊🏽🙏🏽
❤️🌟
You can do it!
You can do it!
I agree with you completely when you talked about the confidence you gained when you went natural. I spent 4 years growing out my twa, past collarbone length. I cut it all off again two weeks ago (despite others opinions). I am very confident with my type 4 hair. Whether long or short it's an extension of me and my self expression.
I gained so much confidence when I went natural because I felt like I was truly accepting myself for who I am. It made me feel like a true black woman and helped me reclaim my “blackness”.
You are absolutely beautiful, Joy-el. Don't ever forget that.
You are literally the first girl I've seen who's both lightskinned mixed and has type 4 hair like me😁 it's really encouraging for me. I would occasionally have feelings of feeling left out for having this very kinky 4B/C hair yet being very light (for a mixed person). But thankfully have grown to love and embrace my beautiful hair and how different I am😊 You really inspire me and I love your views and opinions and how passionate you are about embracing our ethnicity💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Love from South Africa🇿🇦
You made being a black woman sound so beautiful. I am so happy for you in your journey. You are so beautiful and it’s accentuated by your crown. Thank you for being an amazing example of vulnerability and growth for new naturals-and vets! We’re here for the content. 🖤🖤🖤🥰
Love my afro even through everyone harasses me for it because they think it's ugly.
They hate your hair because your hair is your halo/crown. Their hair is the texture burned doll hair. 👍
Let me tell you something. I would be f*cking PROUD to have type 3c-4c hair because that's the hair that can do almost anything. Plus it looks fierce, like royalty. Instead I have some bland ass wave curls that look like a mix of 2a and maybe 3a xD
this year I really started to show mine off 💛 creators like you have helped me embrace mine! Thank you ✨🥰
I think when you put so much time into caring for your natural hair, there is no way you can’t love and admire it! And going natural has helped learn to admire and care for my whole body it’s crazy! I can finally take compliments because I’m showing you true self not some chemically altered version of myself! I thought I’d hate having short hair to begin with but I’ve loved every second of going natural (except from those de tangling seconds 👀😂)
I love that my natural hair can stand up!!!! I wear my afro with pride!!!! Women with an afro are beautiful!!!!! The day that my beautiful black sisters catches on to wearing a fro ( like we did in the 70's) will be bomb!!!!
Afros are so unique I love my hair I'm so glad I went natural! Your hair beautiful by the way!!!❤❤❤
"Ducks with Ant butts" !! Perfect 😂😂
I am SO PROUD of you! Your parents did an amazing job. I know it’s your life and I realize it’s your journey, but sharing it with us is so clear to me that your parents allowed you to be you and discouraged how the world would try to define you. Look at how awesome you are and how healthy your acceptance of yourself is! When I was about seven I always wished I could wear my curly hair out but was tricked into believing that I shouldn’t, so I didn’t. Until I moved to Germany where it rained everyday and then I turned 30. That’s when I stopped blow drying my hair and never looked back. I have never chemically altered my hair texture, I never dyed it either. Guess what? I’m going gray now AND I’m allowing my hair to grow long. I’m going to rock my long, curly, gray hair because I have embraced all of who I am. Thanks to you there are more beautiful, brown people with all curl patterns accepting themselves and discovering just how amazing they are. It is empowering and freeing. Thanks for your videos, you are a treasure.
I love Joy-el so much 😭 She is such a light in the natural hair community
I am finally at peace with my hair (the photo doesn't tell the story because I am wearing a scarf). I know how you feel - happy, liberated and FREE ! 🌻❤
I love how much you love your afro! I'm over the obsession with koil/curl definition. I'd like everyone to truly embrace their natural hair.
Growing my hair was long and natural, so I've always had love for my hair. I tried out a relaxer for a few years in college but afterwards went back natural.
As a new natural I love my hair too
almost choked on icecream on the ducks with ant butts comment! but yes I love my 4c natural hai! it does whatever it wants! I find the texture very interesting! ALSO, this is very random! but sometimes I love to pretend I have locs when I'm wearing my old twists! I feel super cool when my twists get frizzy making the twists appear fuller and loc like! not many embrace the look of old twists. maybe in the far future, I'll get locs! but for now, I like the versatility to mimic different looks.
I have curly hair but I have always found type 4 hair truly the most versatile and beautiful hair! When I saw my friends braid their hair, wear it in twists, low puffs, etc. I was in awe at how much they can do and my curls would just be frizzy lol. In the 70s my dad rocked an Afro and he always said one day it will come back and I'm happy to see the natural hair movement/ afros return.
The picture with the various 'fros and trees is just stunning!
Joy el I just wanted to say you’re so beautiful and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. You are so precious and one day I would want to pay you back for all the happiness you’ve given just out of the kindness of your beautiful heart. You’re amazing and I also ADORE my hair. I have it in twists because I just finished doing it. Thank you for being you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
"It symbolizes freedom", yesss I have a type 3 hair I guess, some parts are curly and some parts are wavy. I chopped all my hair off in my March exactly, and I felt free of all the oppression I was put on by society to hold the sweet straight-haired pretty face every one wanted me to be, now that I look in the mirror my hair doesn't look ashy, it grew out to have a black with a slight of brown color in it and I NEVER KNEW that my hair had that color, it was new to me, because it was grey before I chopped it off, I never want to straighten my hair again, it was agony, I used to stay hours every week burning my hair and making my hands red with all the heat. I couldn't swim, I couldn't have fun, I was always worrying that if ppl saw the "real" me would freak out, but now that it's growing back I am embracing it, it feels good to disappoint everyone and make yourself happy.
To be a confident black woman is to defy what society wants you to think of yourself. I’m happy you are openly accepting who God has made you to be. Keep on shining sister! Always remember that He loves you just the way you are ❤️ ☝🏾
I absolutely love the positivity you foster! I love that what you consider a "rant" or "passionate speech" is still so sweet and upbeat! You are exactly what youtube is about! You brighten youtube so much. Thanks girl!
Years ago, I had a deep conversation with my hair about accepting and loving her just the way she is. This conversation was successful, and now we are united. Our hair textures are identical, and we must handle it with care and tenderness. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous ♥️.
Your Afro is beautiful at all its lengths. It takes me back to my high school and college in the 70's. When things get back to 'normal' you should come to the hair shows in Atlanta and NYC. You'll see plenty of ladies and gents sporting their natural hair and Fros...❤❤
I have worn my hair in many ways over the years. I have been wearing my hair natural over 15+ years and don't have any plans to put the creamy cracked in my hair ever again. 😅
Been rocking my type 4 hair for 3 years and this is the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life ❤️
I love my hair. It's a pain sometimes, but I would NEVER go back to relaxed hair, even if you paid me!
I’m so excited right now while I transition to natural it’s like I wake up everyday and remember the end goal and I feel authentic joy and happiness seeing my natural hair grow💖
4 C IS BEAUTIFUL HAIR!😍 ❤ ♥
I LOVE MY 4C
We are on the opposite end of the hair spectrum so we are able to do pretty much every style imaginable. Our twists and braidouts look bomb. We can straighten our hair. We can curl it. We can do all kinds of styles with it. We can even do nothing to it and nobody would be able to tell 😂. I can’t tell you the number of times I have pulled my hair into a bun without combing it and no one could tell. No other hair type can rock Afros like us unless they do special stuff to their hair. All we have to do is wake up and go. I am so envious of people who lived in the 70s because that was when our hair type was “in” and people wore it proudly. It would be so nice to go back to that but I guess in a way we have with the natural hair movement. Only this time everyone is chasing the perfect curl.
Exactly!
Do you have a video on how to prevent those FAIRY KNOTS?! UGH! They’re the WORST! btw...LOVE your fro!
Just keep up with trimming and make sure your hair is thoroughly detangled before styling.
Don't wash your hair loose, search and destroy, and keep the ends extra moisturized
@@JazzyB9481 Good points!
Let me say that I love your fro. It frames your face beautifully and enhances your features. That is my favorite hairstyle of all your hairstyles. It is thick, lush and beautiful. I admit that at times I feel envious because my hair is low to medium density 4A/3C which does not stay up so my attempts at an afro is a big fail since I passed my twa phase. I love my Type 4 afro hair though and I wear it out 100% of the time since I big-chopped one year and three months ago. You are one of the influencers who inspired me to embark on my natural hair journey. I watched your growth since your big chop and I have enjoyed your journey and mine. Love you Sharmaine and much blessings as you continue to grow.
DUCKS WITH ANT BUTTS😂😂🤣😹 I need a drawing of the two together 🤣😹😂 I love this video, the message, your growth and positive reinforcement. The woman that I know that have bald, brush waves to twa’s exude the most femininity in their being instead of hair being the feminine “tool”. The times I have blown out my hair heads turn so it definitely is a statement, then can rock it curly the next day playing on the versatility. I love our hair and I too, see Mother Nature as a black woman.
You're the best! I love your authenticity and vulnerability. As a light skinned black woman with 4C hair and approaching 50, I'm so glad I found your channel. It took me a long time to get to this space where I love all of me. One day it just clicked. Now I'm an expert at shutting down haters. I'm glad you got here sooner. Thank you for the beauty you share both literally and figuratively. I hope you get a 100k soon. All the best!
awwwww, sorry that people are so ignorant and hateful to you. that guy who smacked you is evil. Your hair is beautiful and yes your afro is amazing and perfect, i remember me and my sister watching one of your videos and saying that your afro was perfect.
Textured hair isn’t bland. Just like us, our hair has variety... naturally! That’s why I love it, and wear it proudly! PS- you made me tear up when you talked about your feelings of liberation from social standards of beauty. Be proud to BE You(nique)... because there is no duplication or substitution for that. Much love!
I relate! I feel the most beautiful when I wear my afro. Whether it’s shrunken or a bit stretched c:
I love afros and curly hair in general. As a light skinned woman with natural curly hair I just want to say this
Afros are beautiful and no matter what anyone says people with curls should embrace them and not be so obsessed with hair straighteners
Hair straighteners just lead to heat damage in my opinion
Exactly. I love wearing braids but I literally get the most complements when I wear my natural fro.
Damn I clicked at lightening speed!! Love from New York ❤❤❤ btw your ad was really good, just throwing that out there. You could sell me a broken pen and I'd buy it 😂
I love your channel 😍 I love my afro and I love yours too!! You're so sweet and gorgeous. And I always get compliments by all colors when I have my hair out in my afro. I love it. Some just look like you said and do a double take. My parents always say my hair reminds them of the good ol days. Lol thanks for empowering women and the AFRO!!
I love you so much! Can’t believe someone smacked you, that makes me so angry! 😤 😡 Funny story: I was in Mexico and had my afro, and a ceiling lamp fell on my head. Went to the doctor just to the doctor, and thankfully I was ok since my afro acted as a cushion for my head, hahah! 😝
Sometimes I miss my curls (my hair is now loc’d) but then I remember how long my wash days used to take and change my mind lol
I love my type 4 hair because it's beautiful, it makes me stand out, and most importantly its part of who I am! 🥰
Yes girl! ❤ You embody the aura of a human being that embraces the versatility of who they are. You understand the pain that have being laid on women with afro hair, but you come out on the other side wearing it with comfort and confidence, and writing your own narrative of beauty while setting examples.
I rock it,
and when few try to open their mouth to throw insult, keep them on ignore.
We love you and we love your gorgeous hair! 🎉❤
I assure you, that this man who touched you, has gotten it back!
Your glorious afro protected you, angel!
But the boomerang effect will come back to him.
I love your confidence: I do believe though, that in France, Holland, Germany or Scandinavian countries, natural here is seen as attractive and authentic and sexy! America is still learning and learning!(she will get there)❤
We are keeping our CROWN 👑
Your afro rocks and I love the versatility of type 4 hair.
I think your afro and personality is beautiful . I felt sad to hear about the incident while walking. I have the same deep passion about loving my hair. It feels so wonderful to a gorgeous crown😇
I needed this video. Thank you 💜
Awww love you girl 🖤
Black men and women are beautiful. We're unique and mysterious because we're so different. People are always wondering what's going on with us.
I actually decided to grow out my relaxer (which I had since the age of 12) when my daughter turned 4 (I was 42). I loved her hair and I didn’t want her to grow up thinking she had to straighten it to be beautiful. She is now 11 and still natural - and so am I. 😊 So glad I did!! Poo poo on the naysayers in your comments. Keep doing you!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😂 i enjoyed this video and the “Bet” is a mood. 🖤
I love your energy
I love ur raw energy
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR HAIR! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
Liked this video before even watching it. 😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You’re a huge inspiration for me to love my natural hair
This was beautiful, thank you 😌
I love your channel Joy-el.
I wish I could wear my hair in a fro more often, it just mattes up a lot if I leave it in that state for too long. Your fro is definitely goals.
LOVE the afro plants!
Wow so proud of you. Much respect
THANK YOU JOYEL KEEP THESE POSITIVE VIDEOS OF 4C HAIR COMING I NEED IT ON MY JOURNEY.
I love your afro too!💖💖
First here, love your hair, love your channel 🤩🥰😘
