I put my 4c hair in the ULTIMATE ETERNAL protective style called (dread)locs 😂 never been happier although there are still days (more like hours) where I randomly think, hmmm why dont I cut it all off? 😅 but those thoughts fade and tbh its the best thing I've ever done bc its MY texture and everyones locs are unique (also I can bleach the hell out of it without being too worried) ❤
Do not bleach the heck outta your dreads please, I’ve learned the hard way lol.
@aloemua9181 Omg yes. Locs can put up with a lot, but nottt bleach
I agree. Locs are hair freedom for 4c texture. I'm getting mine back!
You don't have to cut them off, you can just undo them, it takes a lot though and you will experience a lot of shedding. You can find a lot of tutorials on how to take down dreadlocks
Just installed microlocs 2 weeks ago and I LOVE it! I wish I did it years ago
It is, what it is. I agree with you 100%. When something, I KNOW, is working, I've learned DON'T change it. Very good tips. Peace and blessings to you.
I'm learning to accept the shrinkage, it's part of what makes our hair unique. The obsession with length isnt good for us in my opinion. Let the hair do what it want to do ❤️
I agree! I just don’t make a big deal about my hair. It is what it is.
Yes Yahuah knows why He created us like that. And we were His first creations BTW. Adam and Eve were Black. The Bible is black people, including the Messiah and His chosen people are us.
Volume is a better goal in my opinion.
"Your hair is still hairing under there & you should be caring out here" 🤣🤣
Hey Chrissy! It’s nice to see you here I was wondering how you were doing cuz you haven’t uploaded a video in a while😢
@@shushangeorge1477Hey! Awwww thank you so much! I'm doing good 😊💜
I literally started the video thinking “her skin looks amazing omg” then i see why😭
Welcome back, Danielle. You were definitely missed.
Girlie loc up!!!! All of these issues you talked about could be solved with locs, even the length retention. Of course, there will be shrinkage at least for the first year but after that you will be golden and they will 100% guaranteed grow down your back. Humidity or not. Plus you can still protective style over them if you ever miss your passion twists! You actually just get to skip the detangling part!Seriously, you would look so so so so gorgeous with some microlocs or traditional locs and it would be just like having passion twists but it's actually your hair. Think about it and watch some youtube videos! I locked my hair last year and I have hair texture similar to the nape of your neck and it has been LIFE-CHANGING for me, so this comes from a place of love. No matter if it's a loc journey or a new loose natural hair journey I would be down to watch! Love you Danielle
One still has to take care of the scalp and locs though. 😢 Just look at Lil Wayne.
@@nicoleraheem1195 Yep, they’re low maintenance, not no maintenance! But StarPuppy is literally a natural hair YTer so she would def be able to handle learning how to take care of locked natural hair vs loose which is wayyy more difficult to retain length.
This is why I did diy microlocs. I didn't want a relaxer ever again and I was just tired of detangling, braiding, twisting, styling my hair so I put in locs and it was the best decision I've ever made for my hair. My only regret was that I didn't do it sooner.
Started my journey the 22nd of December, best decision ever. It was that or relaxing my hair and the last time I did that had to do a big chop, 8 years ago.
@@nicoleraheem1195yes, bit at least if she experiences hair breakage again she can just reattatch it and not have to start over trying to get the length back.
I feel you, sis. I don't hate my 4c hair, I'm just a lazy natural, and mom life, work, and being a referee just eats up time. 😂
Love your transparency. This convo was actually healing. It felt like two sisters talking about hair. It is good to look at the reason why we decide to protective style which is why I chose to do mini twists with no added hair. I’m going to embrace my growth journey because my mind is telling me “you would look so much better with longer hair” or added hair
I’m a guy but also struggle with maintaining my hair I think I have 4c hair good to know I have a hair growth mentor that knows and been through it all also stay happy and healthy and drink water❤❤❤
You inspired me to take care of my hair. I just put in my braids and I was ready to neglect! lol
Danielle I would love to see how you upkeep and care for your hair w passion twists
I second that 🙏🏿
Yussssssss
shrinkage is such a constant struggle like i just want other ppl to see the length i have 😭😭
What you should be caring about is how your hair feels. It may not be able to talk to you, but trust me, your hair is communicating with you. The fact that you have shrinkage shows how happy your hair is. Do you only want to be the one happy in this partnership? Your hair deserves to be happy too you know. If you want people to see your length so bad, straighten it. Otherwise, it's best to learn to accept your hair shrinkage
Even though I don't have locs and my texture would probably be unsuited for it, I do feel like the comments talking on the subject have a point. I think there's a point in the natural hair journey where you learn and have to decide what really matters to you. When I first went natural, I dreamed about having mid-back length curly hair. I had seen people with my hair texture with it! It was possible! Then, I was soon faced with the reality of maintenance. And I quickly realized that I did not care about length as much as I thought I did. When I wanted to show length on my natural hair, I learned to straighten. If I just wanted longer hair for a day, I wore a wig. These days, I wear my hair mostly in wash in gos (or, if I'm being honest, ponytails or buns hahaha), and I'm content with that, even if my un-stretched hair doesn't even hit my shoulders. I've fully embraced shrinkage.
Hello, we missed your lovely smile. It's OK girl, my hair is also going through something. It's fine treatment will take a while, and I'm OK with it.
Love your honesty. Kinky afro high proximity hair is a challenge and time consuming. You can't wear it out all the time it'll break off. Can't have it in a protective style all the time it'll break off. Everyone talking about locs but when you have alopecia you will see the bald spots. Bw have so much to deal with in this world it gets overwhelming.
Hi! I saw an interview of yours from almost a year ago recently. I just wanted to say I watch you for you. I don't have hair like you so I don't benefit from all the wonderful hair tips you have. But I do benefit from watching your creativity and personality - you brighten my day :) Please don't feel stuck on hair content
after getting locs i never had to think about any of these things ever again and fell in love with my natural texture, which is wild bc i thought I would always feel like I was bothered by my own hair, but after locs it just had a growth spurt within a year, and I don't rly have to do anything to it
Smae!! Just starting out weeks ago. I can't wait for the journey
I felt those whole intro, you spoke to my soul, and made me realize what I was doing with protective styles all these years, and why it only protected my hair during certain times...
Sis, my bro and I both get seasonal depression every year and this year has just been *so much worse* than the last few combined-- for him he just gets really impatient while I just lose pretty much all motivation to do anything and certain aspects of basic hygiene are absolutely on that list. Being able to talk about that openly is incredibly brave because the internet expects us to make a self-deprecating joke about it and move on...and that's not how it works. I'm glad to see you back and I'm extra glad for you to be keeping it real for the rest of us. I have the oiliest, scraggliest white girl hair you can imagine and at the beginning of winter I either go to the salon to get as much of it hacked off that still looks nice or go at it with razor combs ans an electric shaver. I know for someone who's goal is long hair that's not a solution but it makes one aspect of being an independent adult so much easier for me when the SAD comes knocking.
I don't know if you believe in God but isaiah chapter 61 verse 3 is a good scripture to read over yourself and your brother. The word of God will strengthen you and be your guide. Also, I'm praying for the two of you as well. God is our deliverance.❤❤❤
I don't know why RUclips stopped recommending your videos to me for the longest time, but I am SO happy that it brought me back tonight. Also, my god you are so friggin beautiful and your skin is glowing 😭❤❤❤
I've just started wearing short passion twists and I really like how they look and how lightweight they are. I think they're going to be my style of choice moving forward but I'd love a video on what exactly I should be doing to take care of them cause they feel like they need a lot more attention than box braids
please look into sister locs or Mirco locs. It's amazing its like having loose hair and you hair can't break off at all! my hair is way thinner than yours and its so beautiful
Danielle, why don't you do protective styles on your own natural hair? My hair is much shorter and when I start ro feel overwhelmed I will two strand twist my own hair. It comes out so cute and it's very trendy right now! And you can show off length! You can also do braids with your own hair. You should give it a try ❤️
Definitely would like to see a + 1hr video from you so yea, installation and maintenance of your passion twists sounds great. Also I have the same struggles- pulling hair compulsively until bald spots anddddddd self acceptance of my hair.
I honeslty feel like I wanna cut it all off Sometimes. I'm just over it at times.
I had mid back hair...until Sunday. I woke up and decided that I wasn't about to spend 2 days washing and styling my hair. So I cut it to shoulder length and flew through it in 2 hours. Best decision I've made in years concerning my hair! I did a wash and go and it's so cute shorter! My curls are popping because alot of the weight is gone, and my head feels lighter. So don't necessarily cut it ALL off but definitely do a cut over a trim. It's so freeing. I still have enough hair to do all my go to styles but it's so much easier to do it now. And I needed a change. I definitely believe hair holds trauma and I felt like I was so much lighter in my spirit after I cut it. And I cut about 6/7 inches off all in about 10 snips of my shears. 😊😊😊
You are one of my favorite hair tubers your humor, aura, transparency...
this channel just puts out so many good vibes, even if it's more serious Videos
no matter the content, hair or not.
You are a cool cat- ehem, puppy
Preach Danielle! Being honest with ourselves in the first place is the way to go. Love to hear you talking about whatever you like tho, lol. Sometimes a break it's all that we need ❤
Definitely felt this entire video. But I felt that stalking the weather before choosing a hairstyle part on a SPIRITUAL level 😭😩
Hi Danielle! Just want to say we love and miss you! Your voice and smile brightens my day whenever I watch your content. Also, your 20s series got me through a super rough time in my life a few years back, so just wanted to say how much we all appreciate your consistency in sharing content despite the challenges ❤ hope you’re well overall!!
this is so good .. may we all break free from the shackles of texturism ... I appreciate your honesty
Girl that nail analogy was spot on. I literally had that happen to me when i started getting my nails done consistently ( acrylic every 2 weeks for months) . I always had strong/long nails (according to family) but i noticed they were breaking easier than i was used to. I wanted my old nails back, so i stopped getting them done. It took SIX MONTHS for my nails to go back to normal.
I like protective styling right now because im learning to do them myself. I just like to see what im capable of installing. Ill try passion twist eventually since they look so pretty. But i agree to give yourself a break when needed. 💖💖
Danielle, just wanted to thank you for continuing to post hair content and being transparent about your struggles. Your videos have really helped me learn to take care of my hair. I have the exact same hair density and 4c type as you and my hair is much healthier and fuller than it’s ever been because I’ve been following you.
Please could you post a video on how you install your passion twists, including the hair you use? It would be greatly appreciated! 🩵
I don't have hair as curly as yours but I found that 'protective styles' were breaking my hair. Any kind of braid or updo while sleeping, even with a satin pillow cover, my hair was snapping right where the braid started, right where the hair tie was. I started just sleeping with my hair loose and wild and then I have to wet a refresh it. The protective styles are cute but I don't know if they are actually helping. I was in denial until all the breakage started growing out all over my head and it was the same amount of length that would have grown since my last protective style.
LMFAO!! The dog has good hair. Oh no.
My trick to getting through winter was trying to start plants for my garden inside. It's hard to go into depression hibernation with fungus gnats trying to fly into my nostrils and lay eggs on my brain.
Protective styles are an amazing thing, but people get them and don't know how to take care of their hair while styled. You still have to moisturize, wash( be it dry shampoo or whatever) and refresh the style and not allow the style lock up, or pull too much on the scalp. Not all hair textures are good for particular protective styling or all protective styles.
Same with me and i have 4c hair!. My hair I realized hates extensions/ tension of any form. Im now having to keep my hair twisted zero extensions. My roots are coming in thicker but im also realizing my self/ hair hate is real😢.
@@artbydeee_6386 Keep learning what makes your hair happy. Your hair will express what it does and doesn't like. I've noticed a lot of people don't even consider that their hair deserves to be happy right along with themselves. Were in a partnership with our hair. Once you're in sync with your hair, the skys the limit
Totally felt that humidity and shrinkage bit. That's why i texlaxed. Got tired of not seeing length
💯
I also have a black cocker spaniel and they definitely have that "good hair" I have been there with you being terrible about not taking care of protective styles. I definitely feel you and appreciate your honesty and I have always wanted thicker more C type hair and I definitely don't have that.
Thank you for your videos!!! Youre so authentic and honest and REAL. Thank you for being you. Your videos deserve all of the awards!! You have played a role in my hair care journey! Thank you!!
My edges started growing when I left weave out. I think it's the chemicals on the weave that dries out our hair and makes it fall out.
I've seen videos on washing the hair before install and I see why.
This was an important (and delightful!) video! Girl that shrinkage frustration is real! Way to be honest w/yourself & us & continuing your hair love story. 💜
Glad to see you back. Even tho im not a 4c girly my hair has grown tailbone length watching you're videos and using you're advice
Something that has been working for me is doing natural protective styles. So I twist my natural hair & wear wigs. If you do mini twists it’s also a look too! I do my twists very moisturized tho so the shrinkage is wild & makes me look young af BUT my hair is SO healthy. I’m on month 3!
Whenever I do wear my hair out, if I want to stretch it I’ll do small braids for my braid out & then flat twist it dry each night. It keeps it stretched.
Would love a passion twist video, I'm not happy w. my hair...but once someone said God made you!!!!💯 why..are u upset ...God doesn't make mistakes.!!🙏🏼We each have unique pattern... We have to learn to love it❤️
I’m so ready to lock your hair and watch it drape down your back in 3 years…whenever you’re ready of course ❤
Micro locs could suit her.
@@afisanaa agree!!
idk why people keep suggesting locs when she has alopecia. Locs would make her bald spots wayyy more visible and she's already insecure about those spots when they're really easy to hide with her current hair situation.
Thank you Danielle! Like seriously thank you for your transparency!
Such a great personality ❤
Yessss love her personality’💖
Love that you're always so very truthful!
I recommend mini twists with Stretched hair and beads on the end to weight it down
You can see and enjoy your natural length in all its glory
band it at night to keep it stretched, especially after moisturizing
Thanks. When my edges grow, I'm going to rock my natural more and I'm definitely doing the 90's kid beaded hairstyles as a 35 year old adult. Idc
Bars😂😂😂 girl, you are it!
Hi Danielle! ❤ You have such a lovely energy and this video felt like a convo about hair but also mental health, societal expectations/perception & so much more. I’m an over thinker that resonated w so much here, even the analogies n quips 😂. Thanks for sharing Star puppy !! Glad to see you back 🤩❤️🫶🏾
Star puppy. I have been watching you….for yearsssssssss. Seeing you go through this journey and also going through a journey of my own as a 22 year old, man I just feel like it came full circle. I have been like hating my hair for like forever but I was growing it out for a time but lately like I have been hiding from my hair…. And hearing your words just made me not feel so alone.
I went on my first cruise about 7 years ago. I wore my natural hair out everyday!! I didn't realize how much I would need to wash it cause I didn't expect my hair to get wet but the cruise had tons of pools and a water slide and I'm like a fish lol I love the water. Luckily, our first stop was in Florida (key west) and I went and bought some conditioner with slip (cause the cruise conditioner wasn't it). I loved wearing my hair out and felt so confident in it back then. I'm trying to get back to that. I also found it easy since I was trapped on a ship and had access to a shower and didn't have work obligations like a normal week so it was easy to do my hair more often. I feel like my average daily life is when protective styles would benefit me the most. Some days I don't come home until 10 pm and and I leave my house around 7:30 am.
I love watching your channel your energy is just so positive!
Its good to see you back and youre hair doing better. Eventually in time you will get the hair length you want
I'm so grateful that I found your videos. I'm an 18 year old college student that has been dealing with a lot of stress lately, this and a lot of your past videos has taught me how to be comfortable with myself and also care for my hair. I am excited to do passion twists and keep up with hair care! It would be amazing if you did a video on how you care for your hair in the passion twists. I know my hair is going to be different from yours but it would help me wonderfully along my journey!
Curology saved my skin and I'm 55 years old
Eh, don't feel too bad about this subject.
In my opinion, the natural hair community has labeled ALMOST EVERY HAIRSTYLE as a self-hate hairstyle.
If the natural hair community didn't have such high standards, of what does and does not count as a self-hate hairstyle, you wouldn't feel bad for wearing passion twists for more than a few times. In my opinion, there is always a way to make a hairstyle look like self-hate, so I think you shouldn't say you don't like your natural hair because of you wearing protective styles more often than the natural hair community approves of.
Yeah, even some natural hairstyles made it to the self-hate hairstyle list (according to the natural hair community).
I wore dreadlocks from age 9 all the way up to age 21. It sometimes breaks my heart to know that dreadlocks is now not acceptable to the natural hair community. I miss the good old days of the natural hair community. Yeah, back when the only thing that wasn't acceptable (by the natural hair community) was either dying or straightening your hair.
The standards, of what counts as non-self-hate, are WAY TOO HIGH nowadays.
I'm only saying this because I feel like everyone's standards (of what counts as self-love) are SKY HIGH now.
Not to discredit what you said in this video, but that's just food for thought.
Don't think you wanna be White if you don't do Being Black to the maximum.
Lol, And honestly, how could anyone be Black, to the maximum, if the maximum (and everything in between) keeps changing?
Yesterday's self-love is today's self-hate.
Locs are not acceptable in the natural community? Why? I stopped watching natural hair videos on a consistent basis long ago. I’m out of the loop.
Exactly
@@sbfairy OH MY GOD! 😱
LET. ME. TELL. YOOOOOOU!
So people think that dreadlocks manipulate the hair to where it looks too close to straight hair. Because you can wear it down, put it into ponytails (or closely mimic other straight hairstyles), they think that you don't want natural hair.
They also try to use the scare tactic that's all like, "Oh, well, you tighten it too much so you won't see the new growth, because you just don't wanna have afro-textured hair."
That's right. A number of natural hair community members think that ANY HAIRSTYLE, that pulls on the hair, is a self-hate hairstyle. And because retwisting locs is a part of the hairstyles that can pull the hair straight a bit, they think it means you wanna look White.
😐 ...
Yeah, we're here now.
@@TechnoGlowStickWTF?? This is for real outta control. Locs have history and meaning in our culture. I guess, according to the natural hair gurus/community, we can only do braids/twists and wigs? Too far. Thanks for the info though 😂😂😂
As a black person wearing mostly afro, your hair is the way it is. Braiding, straightening, relaxing and sowing into it are all unnatural remedies for trying to make your 4c hair something its not. 4c doesn't like that all that so its Going to go back the way it is, whether we like it or not. It's like a white woman complaining why her hair still looks straight while trying methodes for an afro (because her natural hair isn't naturally an afro).
4c hair is the most simple hair to take care of and doesn't need all those products like conditioners or even shampoo's every week.
Like for me I only fingers comb my hair when dry and never Ever comb it with plastic/metal combs, only when shower detangling. I mostly use my scalp oil (sebum) as the "conditioner" especially on the hair-ends. When I don't have enough sebum left on my scalp I use just a little bit of oil gels only on the strandsnot scalp, to where the sebum couldn't reach more. I only spread it on when my hair is totally dry after shower or normally dry before i need to go out the house for a long time. I prefer using J&J shea & cocao butter body oil gel, after taking it out the fridge (yes, the 4c really loves it's cold). Distilled water also helps reduce frizz and helps curl formation a little bit. It stays in afro, no frizz for days.
The goal for 4c hair is for it to look like it drank water while still being dry, but not drowning in it (like most gel users). It needs to be shiny/sparkly, elastic and as black in color as it can get, resulting it being softer. All that while just being dry, not wet.
This tutorial goes deep into the finger oil detangling/combing method!
ruclips.net/video/CrEBRWkPJLM/видео.html
P.s also find the right type of eyebrow "style" that can make your face match your afro more, usually eyebrows with upraised tails (that alien look) looks good with afro's.
Danielle,
Thanks for this information! It is very helpful!
I think cultural beauty standards affecting us is only part of the truth. Why are so many people in South Africa bleaching their skin? Why is the cultural beauty standard right now in Africa to have stretched hair? Why is it that the entirety of Europe and people of EU decent feel comfortable tanning and the rest of the world is hiding from the sun? Why is this happening in homogeneous places like Asia and Africa? But I wont end there, only 2% of North America are natural blondes according to the US census. Why are so many people bleaching their hair? Especially when most of us are brunette. I was only a blonde as a child and now I have dark brown hair. My mom was a blonde until her late teens and then her hair turned brown. This is the case for most of us. Why do they only represent EU as blonde in media? When that is certainly not the case.
I can only Say I got you because I've been there 🤗 however we are strong togather so, if anyone is going through this just know your not alone. ❤️
I used to do wash and go's in college. It was my junior year (2010) and RUclips had so many rising natural hair stars, so I was trying everything. But after that year, I didn't have time to do all of that. I just braid my natural hair (without extensions) and wear it like that for two to three weeks. I don't have the time or energy to comb every single day, so this style works. I also stopped washing my own hair because that was time-consuming too. One day, I said to myself, "Why am I washing my own hair when I can just outsource it to somebody else?" So I let the beauticians do it because not only did they wash my hair more thoroughly than I could, it was ten times faster. It helped my hair to grow, mainly because I wasn't accidentally ripping it out lol
as someone who deeply resonates with this, always trying to manipulate it to do things it didn’t want to to feel “presentable”.. I never truly loved my hair until I started my locs. I have never loved my hair more.
I AM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL BUT SO HAPPY YOU ARE POSTING AGAIN! You are like having another sister! Like I can relate to your personality so so much! Please keep being you! You are amazin! God bless you and I look forward to seeing more of your content! #Starpuppypower 😜🌟🐶
I used to wish I had different hair. Until I ditched synthetic chemicals in my hair products and started DIY. Now I love my hair texture. It’s always moist, soft and shiny. 4A-4C
I would absolutely love to see you try henna at least 2x a month. Its really strengthened my fine strands ❤
Just got my microlocs done 2 weeks ago in Nigeria (its so much cheaper) ... I love it wish I did it earlier!! I have hair like Danielle. My hair fell out in he crown for years due to stress also, some grew back but it was shorter than the rest so I got the microloc extensions to have even hair. I love it soo much. I now focus more on scalp health and preventing loss by reducing stress and replacing my low vit D and iron
I felt like that with my hair. When I was young I was neevr fully taught to take care of it. 30 years later. Lol kids and all. I learn a lot. 😅😊 Its about how you take care of it and whats works for your hair. Its hair. Everyone is is different and everyone has away to take of it. Find the right products and try not to put to much. Your hair is forever. Its a part of you. A lot would be happy to have btw too. Lol 😆 anywho, loved the video.
Passion twists are the only protective style that works for my hair. I have no problem with my natural 4c hair but if I leave it out or do normal two strand twists, my hair locks up or gets fairy knots and then I have to cut it. I basically am trying to go back to as close as I can to what my mom did for my hair.
Passion twist tutorial please
“Back, way back, way back in the kitchen”…. Lol. Yeeessss!!!!!
Really missed you Danielle! I hope this year brings you so much joy and success ❤
I've had bubble braids/poodle puffs for a few weeks and its been a great way to have a break while kind of extending my natural hair texture. I've never had more compliments and I'm not trying to have "good hair"
Same I have them in now
Hi Danielle ❤I'm a subbie who's been following you for about three to five years approximately. I never comment.😄 I'm always watching 👀 from the bushes.🌳🍃I'm an older woman. I have ponytail worthy hair, and I'm natural. But I also have alopecia. I've dealt with alopecia since my son was 10 years old. He's 27 now. 😅 And I love your content.❤🥰🙂I've been using natural essential oils as well as the butters on the actual hair. I have 4b hair in the back ( it was all one texture, then I had to go and start getting relaxers🤦🏽♀️ when I was a younger woman) starting from the middle and 4c in the front. My hair sheds/falls out and grows back at different rates. I have been plant base eating for about 11 years to help my hair as well.😅whew! It's a process. But she/my hair and I are still going 💪🏾 strong. Fighting the good fight, so to speak. I've thought about locs. Not yet, though, and I'm not sure....But your doing well maintaining Fluff nugget. She looks very well kept.🙂❤🎉Glad you're back.🙏🏽😄🌺
Welcome back and PLEASE do a video of you installing your passion twists.
Maybe you should get locs! They're easy to maintain and the first few months you really learn to accept and love your hair in all of it's stages and have a beautiful set of locs unique to you and your hair type. Plus they're great for length retention whether you decide to comb the out or leave them in!
I see so many people saying that she should loc her hair, but one thing that i don't like about locs is that there is no way back, that you could never do a afro no more. But you can't have everything can you 😅
Hi Danielle. This video came right on time! I need to take out my spring twists I put in right before the holidays and I have been dreading it. Thanks to my 4c hair and lamenting over job loss (like you said, over processing mentally). But today I will at least take down my hair and wash it and tell myself it is a form a self care). Thanks Danielle for your videos and happy Black History Month 🤎🖤
I would love a video on your twists!!
As a dog groomer I must say your dog definitely has good hair looks like he’s healthy and cared for next to the poodle and yorkie that’s my favorite breed
Need the whole passion twist video, please.
We missed you. Also 👉🏾Daniel 7:9. 😐 hair like pure wool. God. AND Christ. Have wooly hair. 😘luv you sis.
Please do a video on how you install your passion twist ❤
Yeah I was growing my nails back for months after abusing them for about two years with acrylics and then dip powder "because its hEaLtHiEr for your nails than acrylic" yeah its the filing down of the base EVERY time you go and get a fill or a new set. And I wasn't even getting them that often because that was money.
omg everything you said 🤭👌
just took out my braids yesterday after two months and seeing what i've done 🤭☠️
Please show a video of you installing passion twist. I have 4c thick hair. Can u please share the latest products that you use. Thank u for all you do. I can relate to everything that you are saying.
This video came a little too...on time lol. Taking my yarn twists out this weekend 😅they've been in for two months. However, I wouldn't say I hate my hair...I just get annoyed and tired of it. For me, it's called a protective style because it protects it from ME. Now im on this two months protective style and 2 weeks loose natural hair cycle, and I LOVE it. I'd love to see how you take care of your natural hair while it's in the passion twists. At the moment, I use this duo cleanse and moisturizing spray by Taliah Waajid called Moisture Clenz. Though I must warn you...if you have in blonde/white hair extensions (like me), the spray is green and will stain if you use it too much. As for fighting the humidity, only gels and the COLOR WOW dream coat spray helped me. And even then...those two weeks of my natural hair styling is a lot like a loot box in a game...you have no idea what you'll get.
Edit: TELL US WHERE YOU GOT THAT SCRUNCHIE AND HOW YOU PUT IT IN!
You know what im honna spend this time watching to spritz and oil my protecrive styled hair
Locs might be a viable solution! The only caveat I have is that it still requires maintenance and might not be a fit for thin hair. I had locs and incredibly thin hair, so much so that my locs eventually starting falling out.
Take it from an older auntie, that chocolate melanin in your skin will have you aging very very very slowly!!!!!!!! No stress beautiful one.❤️
Boarding school vs Day care 😭😭😂😂🤌🏾

Have you tried putting shea butter in your hair before braiding the hair for a braid out. I noticed that it doesn’t shrink as quickly. ( keep in mind you will place a lot of shea butter in your hair. While it’s wet per braid.)
You are so inspirational ❤
