I hope the Natural Hair Movement is here to stay! I love seeing all of our young women satisfied with their own hair and in particular those with SHORTER lengths! I'm of that generation of when your hair was this short you immediately threw on a wig, so YOUR BEAUTIFUL, baby girl!!! Whether you grow it out or keep it short, THANK YOU!
j Nicole thanks you for the beautiful hair tutor. I have my hair natural. for a about 4month. but I always wonder how to get it curly. I will be getting a brush.
I absolutely love this. I just did my big chop last weekend and I guess I'm in that insecure stage to where I wear a lot of turban wraps to keep from showing my hair but I am so excited to begin this journey .. Definitely gonna subscribe :)
I totally understand. I had the same feeling , like what the heck did I do! lol but it was the best decision I've ever made. Remember nobody has hair like us.lol Wear those curls proudly!
Valerie Jones I'm just now seeing this 😘😘 thanks Valerie. I hope your hair journey is going well , at least I can finally say mine is 😊 #NaturalGang ✊🏾
I did a lot of reading about how to add shine to natural 4c hair or low porosity hair - and the answer is - you don't; it is the nature of our hair once all of the products dry. It will tend to look dry (low porosity hair), HOWEVER you can combat the dry feeling using products that contain humectants. One of the less expensive products you can use is good old carefree curl juice (yes the red and gold!!!LOL) makes hair feel softer and decreases the shrinkage and you need only use a little...made a significant
Honestly, she already has a nice texture notice when she first placed the product in her hair instantly curled. All the swirl tool do is loop your hairs together to look more unified in the curl department.
thank you girl I just heard of this sponge and u was the first video I clicked I have similar length in hair now and finally started wearing out ... no more wigs ... for now 😆😆😆😆
Thank you sooo much, best sponge method vid i've seen so far, will be implementing this method. I especially like how you use the pick at the end which gives the curls a neat look.
Good video.Seems quicker than twirling your hair. It was funny when you said to swirl clockwise and you went counterclockwise! I recently big chopped into a tapered cut and this will work perfectly for my hair in the back. ( I have different kinds of curls in the back, sides, and top). Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for sharing this. I am a senior and I've let the perm grow out of my hair. so now my hair is in transition. I'm trying to get a look that's not straight up 60's and age-appropriate yet with current times not to look like a teenage grandma. So here's the thing; I'd like to know do you air dry or use a hand blower after you wash your hair? I appreciate the time you took to do the tutor post.
I love your hair. I had stopped using the Spong because it was taken my hair out and that eco style gel was flaking but I still use it because it's the best one so far
Before I go into how good this video is, I have to say I hate Eco styler gel. No shade. Can you recommend other gels you like for 4c hair?Just never had a good experience with and I been sporting my natural hair for 7 years every damn day! Stopped doing protective styles in 2009☺️ because I am too impatient to take it down. This video is very professional polished and useful. Just did the big chop again last month and I eager to get to this healthy length so I can try this brush. Thank you!
I love your hair, I just did the big chop 2 weeks ago and I love my soft 4c curls. I am gonna try the sponge. What do you recommend for sheen and baby hair control? Also, your makeup is awesome. Thanks
Thank you! The sponge has been a life saver. I have started to put coconut oil in my hair after the gel so it wont be too crunchy and not as dry. For baby hair i use the eco styling gel.
OMG I could hug you right now. I have been frustrated trying to find my rhythm with my natural hair. Every morning I am using the sponge not knowing why it's not working... I didn't realize that I needed to pick the hair out! THANK YOU! Your make up is gorgeous, do you have tutorials on that also?
I came across your video and loved the way your hair looked. I just tried your routine and yesssssssss curls are poppin. I love it. Thank you so much for making this video. Twa newbie.
Hi! I'm thinking about doing the big chop but I was wondering for wash and go and do you just sleep on it and wake and go the next day? or do you have to do this routine everyday? thanks for this video
Hey Dani, thanks for the vid! I found it useful! Oh, and one more thing, can you tell me what instrumental is playing as the backing track of this video please?
Thx for sharing. New subbie with similar head,hairline and face shape. Looking for haircut styles for tea. Just stumbled on your channel. Pls what's difference in curl of small side of sponge and big side.
I love this video! Does ECO Styler gel leave white stuff in your hair? Or does it just take a good minute to dry? I used the sponge for the first time a few days ago an I love it! thank you so much (subscribeddd)
Hello. I really want to cut my hair. Did you cut your own hair? If so could you give me advice on how to cut my hair? I know you can't do a video. But just how you layered it and such
Omg I love you!! Just did the big chop (like a decade late I knowww) but your giving me so much inspiration your so beautiful!!!! #strongwomenbuildwomen
Thanks for sharing beautiful. I just got rid of braids after so long. When I blow dry my hair it becomes long enough to go in a little bun with a band. But when I wash it it becomes kinkier than kink itself and is dry and brittle. What do you recommend to soften my hair and make it manageable so it's not so rough. I loose a lot of little knots when it's that way. I don't know what to use that is as close to natural as possible. Any suggestions? :)
My hair dried looking like I had dandruff, and IDK why. I washed and conditioned my hair first then applied all the products that you used. Fortunately, I had them all and did not have to purchase any of the products. I guess that's just the difference in people's hair types.
If your hair is as short as my was in the video you can definitely use the sponge. I dont use the sponge now because my hair has grown out a lot. To avoid as much flakiness you can LOC the night before and add water and gel in the morning.
exactly Vicki Hodges and you shouldn't have to wash your hair everyday that's too much, and also you don't pick it out, you let it roll, ijs!!!!!!!!!!!!!been natural for a while............still a cute doo tho!
Mary clinton I agree with you. She applies a lot of gel every day, to wash her hair every day. Gosh! I really wish some people would think, before they speak. Cheers💙
To answer some concerns in this thread... I used the sponge to clump my curls together and add gel so that my curls will stay and not become frizzy. I used to co wash my hair every day because that's what I chose to do and my hair was short so it was easy. And no I didn't put gel in my hair every day. I don't understand why people get upset when others choose to do something to their OWN hair. *shrugs*
Mariah Waterman I have them all and the Cantu would def dry your hair out a little if you already have dry hair. Try spraying with water and using a light oil (grapeseed) and butter (raw shea butter) to seal in the moisture

I did my big chop and i love it i wont grow it back i also feel more confident too

I saw that too. The curls instantly formed.
Aww when you took your scarf off you hair already looked so cute like that; I kind of didn't want you to put product in it. xx
finally a video with my exact same hair texture :)
I've been leaving the house looking a mess. But you've saved me! I did the big chop about 4 months ago
thank you girl I just heard of this sponge and u was the first video I clicked I have similar length in hair now and finally started wearing out ... no more wigs ... for now 😆😆😆😆
Nice video. Loved it! Would've liked to see the finished look though- I mean, the dry look without the white stuff.
Hands down the best twa curly style on yt, if I could like it 20x more I would, GREAT JOB!
Thank you sooo much, best sponge method vid i've seen so far, will be implementing this method. I especially like how you use the pick at the end which gives the curls a neat look.
I love your makeup

I love it 😍 my hair is like a mini version of yours so of course I love the style thanks for the tip with the eco styler 💯

Not only is my hair like this just shorter but she is using affordable products I already have. Subscribed

Lovely Tutorial, Thank you so much Gawjus x
YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL BLACK QUEEN 😇🥰😇🥰💕💯🤍🙏🏿👊🏼 !!!!!!!!

Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave-in conditioner is amazing.
Make more natural hair videos please 😍
My hair dried looking like I had dandruff, and IDK why. I washed and conditioned my hair first then applied all the products that you used. Fortunately, I had them all and did not have to purchase any of the products. I guess that's just the difference in people's hair types.
Using as much Eco Gel as she did WILL make your hair flaky after it dries. You don't need to use that much and certainly not with the sponge.
If your hair is as short as my was in the video you can definitely use the sponge. I dont use the sponge now because my hair has grown out a lot. To avoid as much flakiness you can LOC the night before and add water and gel in the morning.
Darlene Barnes what Dani said, or apply Aunt Jackie's don't shrink gel after washing & deep conditioning🙄
I had the same problem. The culprit is the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I stopped using it and now my wash n go is on point.
Easiest style ever!
Darlene Barnes the shea moistute does not mix well with eco on my hair causes a white flaky mess
Wow, so I have been working too hard!!! I need a brush...been twisting with my fingers.
Thank you for the demo. I give it a 👍and 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!!
My twa is shorter , I'll try it though ❤
LOVE IT!!!!! BEAUTIFUL
Omg I subscribed after like 37 sec ! Girl you funny 😍❤️❤️❤️
Haha!! Thank you so much!!
I thought using the sponge negates having to use so much product in the hair? I mean isn't it supposed to SIMPLIFY the hair styling process?
Vicki Hodges that was definitely a lot of Ecco gel!!!
exactly Vicki Hodges and you shouldn't have to wash your hair everyday that's too much, and also you don't pick it out, you let it roll, ijs!!!!!!!!!!!!!been natural for a while............still a cute doo tho!
i use the sponge everyday and all i do is damp my hair and grease my scalp thats just too much
Mary clinton I agree with you. She applies a lot of gel every day, to wash her hair every day. Gosh! I really wish some people would think, before they speak.
Cheers💙

MR. SLOW STROKER look at you🙄, lol #ATX🤘
MsG. Don't you agree 😉
How often do you wash your hair
I have really dry hair, would this routine work for my hair as well a s the products you used?
Mariah Waterman I have them all and the Cantu would def dry your hair out a little if you already have dry hair. Try spraying with water and using a light oil (grapeseed) and butter (raw shea butter) to seal in the moisture
