By the time she comes in for her next visit her hair should be about the same length before the cut or longer if she follows your tips. Exceptional work!
I think it's so beautiful that you encourage her to embrace the beauty of aging. Something that I notice in myself is that while I think everyone else around me is beautiful and love their features and aging, I have a hard time embracing my own, particularly the changes that have come with aging. I'm learning that it is a journey learning to give yourself grace, and I'm very grateful that you are out here helping us stay on that journey.
Yes! True words have never been said. I often see that many women seem to put a lot of pressure on themselves when it comes to beauty and appearance. After talking with hundreds of women, I know the importance of affirming my clients designate their own sense of self beauty and confidence as a women because for many of them. There's significance that comes from a black man telling a black woman that you are beautiful and enough just as you are, they may not hear that enough or at all from black men in their life.
I know you said no professional cut but was she trimming her hair herself? I know when I get a professional trim it lasts so much longer than doing it myself, I’m sure bc of better quality shears.
@@Star192977 no she just tried to shape her hair herself once last year and that didn't go so well. She may have done some dusting but she didn't mention it.
As I have aged and im 29 I notice significant changes in my body shape and hair. I noticed I'm getting some gray hair and I was so upset when my mom pulled it out! Ugh that grey hair was MINE. Aging is the normal process of a human life we should embrace.
I ❤ how you explained your reasons behind the cutting and the layers. Cosmetology really takes a keen mind to adapt to each head of hair and come up with an overall plan to bring it back to good health.
I am growing out hard water damage that sits higher up on the crown. My hair tangles and velcros really easily in this one area. It's growing out since i started using a filter and chelating shampoos, but I want it tf off. However, every hair stylist I've been to in the last 4 years only does zero degree cuts and don't go into the layers of my hair. I need to start planning my trip to Georgia FR 😭
Thank you for sharing your expertise! Since watching your videos and using your tips/ changing the products I use to the Aphogee shampoo and pro vitamin leave in conditioner, my hair and scalp has never felt and looked better! I used to have dry flaky scalp and since using the shampoo it has completely disappeared! My hair is soft and shiny and it finally grew past bra strap length! I have also learned to trim my own hair and let go of the dead/split ends completely. I am forever grateful for you ❤
Omgudness that was wonderful!! My hair in same state so to speak: no cut/trim in years, but my hair is thinning as I'm aging (or so it seems). I need to travel there to you asap! I watch your vids all the time. Luv it
Marvelous hair and result I saw a comment of how you got “scissor happy” but you gave a detailed breakdown of the method behind the cut. In addition to that, she had 6 inches of damage so HOW is this too much cutting? Healthy hair over long hair any day. I don’t think people realize a true natural hair stylist with integrity will not allow you to walk around with scraggly split ends splitting up the shaft just so you can have this length that’s preventing your hair from getting any longer. In addition to that, run me y’all’s resumes and qualifications before you go and criticize his work because it’s giving very much…YOU ARE NOT THE STYLIST LET ALONE *A* STYLIST.
Sometimes with natural hair things don't translate well on camera. I didn't have time to fool with the camera or hold up her service so I just had to get the shots that I could. As long as her hair is cut well, the damage is removed, and she has a healthy foundation to grow from, that's all that matters.
Embracing grays is nice, though I recently did Henna masks and am really enjoying my new color and strengthening on my hair strands. Love the video- thanks for sharing
I have a question. I have recently been doing my mini twist on blow dried hair and you always talk about using grease. Should I moisture with grease after I blow dry or is it pointless now that it’s dry?
I don't recommend it unless you are wetting or dampening the hair. You can't get the most out moisture when you are also trying to avoid it by blow drying. You are better off using something that's water based as a styler to help with hydration and moisture
I have always gotten my hair curt curly and last week I got it cut blown out. I did my first wash and go and my hair is a mess!!!! The different shrinkage levels has my hair looking a hot mess. It’s super short on one side and long on the other. Blown out it’s even. Never will I get a blown out cut again.
I have a question about dry vs wet detangling, which is better? Which has more pros then cons? I have heard hair is weakest when it's wet and u said it doesn't apply to us, n i tried wet detangling under shower and its amazing n so easy, but i feel like overtime it will eat at my hair n cause mechanical damage because when hair is wet its weak n the "easy detangling job" was actually just breaking hairs off, i just wanna know from your expertise, which is better longterm Because i think the pros of dry detangling is that its better for the hair strands, because the hair is stronger will have more resistance to breaking when brushing and you can actually feel the knots and hear the hair strands snap unlike wet, the cons are the hair has less elasticity and just snaps, it takes soo much time. The pros of wet detangling under running water not only is it sooo easy, the like the force of water going downward helps to smoothen hair strands/uniform them and the curls just look so pretty when brushing, and its easy to style n saves alooot of time So whats ur opinion
I detangle all my clients wet so I don't really know what else you expect on that. I've gone over the scientific reasoning behind hair being weak when wet but I don't think it need to understand complex scientific concepts to know and understand your hair better. Here is a client that came to me and never missed an appointment every month. You can see her progress over time. I prefer to let my work speak for itself ruclips.net/video/HF6EdQdMcTo/видео.html
Also I see that you have lots of questions. I recommend that you join my live stream that I do every last Wednesday of the month at 8:30pm EST. I really don't have time to do all these complex breakdowns to your questions so I make myself available once a month.
No not this time. I didn't record it. I didn't have time to fool with my camera before my next client unfortunately. So I'll do videos like this when I can't do the full hair cut
That's many of my clients' issues believe it or not. Not much can be done if they don't know what they are cutting. You may need to dictate a great deal of length for them to cut because many stylists are often afraid of being considered "scissor happy" and not cut enough length. I used to be as well
@@AfrikanHairGod so ask for a cut rather than a trim? It’s weird because I cut my hair into a Lori Harvey chin bob and it’s been a year and my hair is way past my shoulders so it’s grown quickly but growing badly. I’m using all the best products and trimming so I feel so lost. I want healthy hair as well as long😭
@@Alovedhuman that means that there is something in your routine or process that's not getting addressed or a deficiency that's causing your hair to experience damage. Usually split ends are a sign of dryness, breakage, or health issue.
@@AfrikanHairGod oh I see. Thanks for your response and advice. I think I dyed my hair one time in a terrible way and dealing with the costs (hence why I cut my hair into a bob). Hopefully the dyed ends will remove themselves soon. Glad to know I’m not the only one experiencing these kinds of splits
Yeah that's not really the point of this video. The point is to highlight that damage can be present even when it doesn't look like it. I assess hair thoroughly when I trim or cut hair. You can't see split ends unless you are right up on it. You can see this video as an example.... ruclips.net/video/5JI6kIUAFJ8/видео.htmlsi=icHA9X4-iyvg2YxL
Yes. You wouldn't see even if the chair was white either. The point of the video is not to show your the damage but to highlight the fact that damage hides in plain sight on seemingly healthy looking hair. You can't see split ends just from a white background. YOU won't be able to see the difference until her hair grows back in fuller and healthier. This video highlights how I highlight and assess split ends ruclips.net/video/5JI6kIUAFJ8/видео.htmlsi=VLiSLNzOi9ecS-a2
@@thewordsmith5440 because people don't what they are cutting. I don't recommend people cut their hair themselves unless they are comfortable and know what they are doing
That's great. It's not your hair nor your choice so your opinion on what should've been cut is rather irrelevant. She told me exactly what she wanted removed which is why she is my client and not you. You can't be scissor happy when you cut what you are instructed to cut... 🤷
@@AfrikanHairGod you have an open channel, folks are going to comment and not always agree with you, you've gotta get "thicker skin" 🙄 you did great but again too scissor happy

Some people just so invested in being right even when they are dead ass wrong!
I'm sure you gave her an excellent cut, because I've seen your work previously. I'm just disappointed that the after picture is not showing it.

Maybe one day!

Planning a trip to come see you, Narada.
This is very true is you don't catch them then they will split all the way up! I keep mine trimmed as much as I can.
Tfs. Her hair will be back to its original length in no time.
Yep this time next year!
Her hair color is unique! Is that all natural? She has a nice brownish undertone.
No she actually had silver white hair but she's been self coloring it. She's trying to go fully grey now
@@AfrikanHairGod yes sorry I just got to that part of the video 😂. Grey hair is beautiful but I understand that it takes a while to get used to it!
He does it again!!! Lol
Do you think its better to cut on blow dried hair or flat ironed hair?

A deep conditioning?
