1.Don’t use heat, any chemicals(color etc) Either you transition or big chop 2. Deep conditioning at least once a week to strengthen 3. Cowash more and shampoo less 4. Styling your curls Section your hair 6ish sections to get product through out Make sure you use enough water Finger coil! Train your curls 5. Wet plop and diffuse Blend stringy pieces and give volume Stay away from silicones and sulfates until your hair gets stronger 6. Preserve your curls Sleep on satin pillow case Put your hair in a ponytail or bun and put on bonnet
That is SOOO true bout comparisons. Everyone's hair is different and you have to find out what works for you. Stopped relaxing my hair 2 years ago and this year cut out the remainder of the relaxer in my hair. And I'm definitely loving my hair more. oh how I wish people like you and Bianca Renee had been around 20 years ago.
I love that Curlsmith co wash always reaching for it. The more I use it the more it grows on me . It gets buildup off so good without drying it out and it smells so good
I've just dyed my hair lol. I was going grey at the roots and because of this I wasn't wearing my hair out I was still taking care of it though. I was doing the wetting my hair and applying product to small sections and my hair came out beautifully. And it's all thanks to you!. Thank you sweetheart, you've helped me a lot. Your never too old to learn lol. Thanks for sharing your tips 😊❤🖐🏻
if you don't like shampooing then I recommend a moisturizing shampoo. Shampoo removes build-up, research says that build up can lead one moisture overload, product up in your hair follicles and hair loss. Yes, you can co-wash but not shampooing can actually just cause your hair to feel dry since you are literally having layers of products sitting on your hair for week or days. With that being said, you might think your hair is dry but sometimes it's literally from the build up. I co-wash here and there but only like once a month. Research moisture overload and protein fatigue! Moisturizing shampoo will not strip your hair, it will cleanse your hair while leaving your hair soft. Some are: Bounce curls Clarifying shampoo or Moisturizing shampoo, Soultanicals Butta Shampoo, Novex Mystic Black Shampoo. P.S I love chelli, you go girl!
Truth!!! Wooohooo, yaaaay!!! ➰➰➰➰I have a deep-conditioning tip for anyone who needs moisture more often than strengthening, &/or for anyone who needs to limit the amount of protein, aloe, or coconut (which most deep conditioners contain one or more of): you can take a fave leave-in and add, as Chelli mentioned, oils -- I add penetrating oils (olive, almond), nourishing (avocado, apricot), and sealing (castor, jojoba, & shea or cocoa butters). I'm med-high porosity (3b), but you can adjust what you add per your needs. So don't feel like you have to buy deep conditioners that use ingredients that your hair doesn't like (I learned that the hard way, hello protein overload!) My fave leave-ins rn (in order): Camille Rose Lavender Whipped Cream (my HG!), Curl Junkie Beauticurls, Soultanicals Frizz Whizz, Kinky Curly Knot Today, & Camille Rose Fresh Curl. These are all formulated with penetrating & sealing ingredients & make a good base for DIY deep conditioner. Which leads to another tip -- check out the back of bottles! The more you learn, over time, about ingredients, what your hair likes, what has hold, what types of shine/volume/hold/definition, etc., there are, and also that products change their formulas sometimes, the less trial & error, setbacks, wasted products/coin! Loved this video, love Mask Monday, love u girlie!!! xoxoxo 💖🌟💖🌟💖
Forgot to mention that I also sometimes add honey, but I don't leave it in too long bc honey & water can lighten colour over time. Lol, Chelli, u called out my two-sectioning lazy beehind! Also Beauty, have u never taken a bad photo in ur life?!? 😂💖➰
Thanks Again Pon Deck for letting me know about these tips :) and Chelli's channel. I spend lots of time reading the labels of all products as I am very allergic to Aloe Vera and my hair hates coconut oil and protein. What a challenge!!! So... Thank You!!!!
@@monicadelatorre9256 It's my pleasure, Monica! Btw, Argan is another good penetrating oil. And it helps to add butters and use a shower cap bc the mix may not be super thick. If you are low porosity, you may not need a lot of sealing oils. I love all of these leave-ins, & I recommend leave-ins specifically for DIY deep-conditioners (as opposed to rinse out conditioners) bc they are gentle enough to be left in! Just make sure not to overcondition, obviously, & you can always add a bit of a protein conditioner to it if you need to (amino acids, hydrolized keratin or collagen are small & may be gentler). You're going to love Chelli's channel! Best of luck & xoxo! 💖🌟💖🌟💖
Oop, but if you're protein sensitive like me, don't leave even those proteins on your hair for more than a couple of minutes, not more than once every month or two. I find that rice water, flax, and chebe can also be drying for me & have the same effect as protein, coconut, & aloe. Let me know if you try any of these leave-ins or if you find something you really love! ➰➰➰
@@pondeck I haven't tried any of those brands yet. I was a Deva Curl for about 10 years when I was living in Texas. (They worked for me) Then I moved to Europe in 2017 and that brand wasn't sell here. (and now that they are available there is that awful controversy about them). I have been searching for the right product since then. So far the only shampoo & Conditioner my hair likes is Sap Moss weightless hydration from Aveda. I highly appreciate your tips and recommendations. Will let you know how it goes with my trial and error process. Regards, Monica.
My baby girl soon 3 years old and I try my best to figure out curly hair and the best things to do and best products. I have straight hair so whatever I do for my hair is definetly not good for her hair and I try my best to learn how to stop the frizz and now I learned a lot from your video and I keep follow and watch your tips and I appriciate so much you doing this videos! Thank you girl! I never had the idea to section the hair and fingercoil and moisturize this much and detangling and more water and everything etc..... So I just want to say........THANK YOU SO MUCCCCCCCCCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Love kiss and hugs from Hungary.
I only straighten my hair at most 3 times a year, and I’m starting to do it less. But my hair is SO dead and super thin and my curl pattern is not how it was, it’s just getting worse and worse. I have been trying so hard to get it to its best, but it never works. I have been trying since two years ago. And I even use everything that is recommended, like bones and silk pillow cases.
Yess back to back videos! I started my journey in April and my hair have come a longgg way. I am rocking my girls. Didn't have to big chop but I have been conditioning every week! Protein every other week! Thanks for the tips! God bless hun!
@@gabrielasbobadilla yes to much moisturizing isn't good .. have to balance it .. I use the shea moisture yogurt and honey protein treatment and the breoigo don't despair protein treatment.
Great tips chica ! You mentioned cowashing more often than shampooing...do you have any tips for hair care when working out ? I work out 5 days a week and it can be so frustrating figuring out what to do with my hair
Hola curly friend. I love your videos and tips. It had being a year since I started my transition to natural hair. Let me tell you that I don't regret it. I'm so happy. I being applying my deep condition in session, which I got it from you. I can really see a difference. Thank you so much for your advice and many blessings to you and your family.
this seriously helped so much. I had naturally straight hair all my life and it randomly started turning curly. I didn’t know how to do anything but after all this research I learned some but not enough because my curls were always frizzy especially in the back. This video helped me out so much. Thank you!! 🤍 one quick question is my sides looks great but the back of my head is always frizzy even after showering and it’s wet it’s still frizzy, what’s the main thing you recommend for that?
Thank you so much my curls were popping when I left it alone and the moment I started messing with it I saw the change. Through this video I realized what I have been doing wrong. I am also Dominican and my curls look like your back in the day. I hate sectioning my hair to put product I'm kind of lazy but hey I might be able to be consistent and do this not only for me but for my daughter Thank you for sharing!!
I'm starting my hair journey at age 14!! Yes it's young but the years are flying by and I need my hair to look good by my twenties 😅 go curlies we can do it!!
Yassssss!!!! Just the video I was waiting on 🥰 you touched on all the concerns I had from the reducing frizz to preserving my curls a couple days 🥰 thank you 😘
I love all the info 😁 I’m just learning that it’s best to style while the hair is wet. I do deep condition once a week my husband surprised me and bought me a hot head I was excited to try it lol.
I'm 1/2 Dominican and I grew up doing the double shampooing once a week. It took me a loooooong time to break out of that habit once I started going natural. The struggle was real lol
I totally relate to the finger coiling! I just got a spontaneous big chop a little over 2 months ago. While I am happy with the layers and bangs I got, the hair stylist used thinning shears. So now I seem to have thin stringy pieces all over and I have to finger coil. Plus, my hair just wasn't in the best condition to begin with from years of improper care. So now I always finger coil. The first time I did it I was amazed. My whole life I had no idea that all I had to do was finger coil each section for less than a minute and the hair would keep the shape for days! In regards to the cowashing... I find that gel builds up in my hair easily (using SheaMoisture's coconut based gel) so I am having challenges with that.
Just subscribed to your channel I’m pretty happy with my curls. I transitioned 5 years ago with a mini chop. I did not use heat… I would wear wigs and sew ins in I want straight look. Now my hair is long enough that I feel confident to wear curly every day In the last 3 weeks. (Stopped wearing the wigs. Lol) I wanted to say thank you for reminding me that I need to deep condition even though my hair is in GREAT condition I need to continue to moisturize so it doesn’t change on me.
TWO QUESTIONS: 1. How long does transitioning typically take? 2. How bad is it to occasionally straighten my hair? Not often, but once in a while if I just want a different look?
Watching today and reflecting on 2020, working from home and feeling goofy when I hold a meeting. People can even interact, but it feels like I’m lecturing. Your natural conversational style is amazing and feels like we are talking over coffee. Keep representing!
Great video My curls are a LOT tighter and I did the big chop so my hair is shorter (4 1/2 inches in back when stretched bu looks about 2 inches with curl). How do I preserve my curls for day 2-5?? When I wake up and take off my bonnet my hair is packed down.
I wish I had this video to watch back when I first started my transition! So informational quick and easy! Thank you for making this, I know new transitioners appreciate it ❣
Thank you so much! I am from DR too and I remember needing to do two and sometimes 3 washes. My mom would say "con una lavada do hace espuma." I get the frizz at the crown of my hair too. I have been transitioning for about a year. But I still have some issues.
I transitioned my hair. My hair was jacked up for 2 years, so I had to make myself look profession anyway. I definitely used heat, BUT not the way anyone has shared on RUclips. I did a hot brush and low heat (250 to 265F) to help merge the line of demarcation and prevent breakage. So, not a silk press. Not heated under a lot of tension. And not looking like I don’t care. But, just an everyday look. I think using some heat styling is reasonable.
Love love love all your videos! I have been learning so much. Do you have a video solely on co-washing? If not I would love to see that in the near future since it makes a big difference for you.
@@chelliscurls Thank you I'm super excited cos today marks 4 weeks in and I can see some curls only issue I have is major frizz at my roots what can I do to to fix it
Soo today was wash day for me and I followed your tips. Let me just say I LOVE how juicy and defined my curls look. Now to attempt and preserve will be another mission lol thanks for sharing
Hello Franchelli! Your videos are awesome and have helped me figure out this transitioning process a little better. I am a year and four months in and I’ve seen progress but my hair is soooo dry🥺 I did the “big chop” back in March and the shrinkage is REaL! Anyway! Love love your videos.🥰
Paisana, you are the best PERIOT... Can you pleaaaaase tell me about your glasses? I went to your Amazon Favs but I couldn't found them, they're not the same, please :)
First of all, love the glasses! I started transitioning almost 3 years ago when I noticed my son had my curls!!! But... I have to dye my hair, I'm just not ready for the grays yet... I did wait till this year to dye though
coming back to this since i’ve been straightening my hair lately and i have a few straight strands when i try to style my hair, i love my curls and ever since i cut my hair really short, it has been a bit harder to mantain bc i’m a sucker for definition. thank you for this! 🪴
Great video Chelli! I’m so happy you paused and trimmed those dead ends! Lol. Coming across your channel was one of the best things that could have happen to me and my curls!
Really, i didn’t know that u speak Spanish, I’m Puerto Rican and I did one year of transitioning and I did my big chop like a month a go but my hair still have damage ends like scalp hair but I’m working on it ik is not going to look good immediately it take time but is a process and is actually fun. I have a Afro 3c I really like it tho but it’s frizzy. But the cowash and deep conditioning work amazing when I was on transitioning it live my hair so soft and not that frizzy. I’m still working with my definition bc is just not looking the way I one bc like I said is a process so yeah, God bless uuuu. 🤗🤗🤗
So needed this video. I transitioned three months ago but my curls haven't been looking good. I'm going to try tip #5 &6 wet plop & finger coiling each section. Thank you so much, for your tips!
You are the absolute best ma fren .... I am very very short, not really transitioning but have a lot of frizz, trying to get to the stage where I can actually get to wet plop ... a short bob .... pray for me .... but these tips are very very very helpful
Love your curls, I Believe mine could get as yours... I'm also Dominican, tocaya XD thank you for the tips! I'm going to begin this journey. I don't go so much to the salon because I hate heat, (I'm used to go like 3-5 time per year) and just wash my hair in my house and combed it. But I decided to buy curly products to treat it. When I want curls I just prepare flax seeds. But I need to buy products and finally dedicate some time for my hair .
Hey Chelli! Loved the video...can't wait to show this to my mum. She's gotten so lazy with her hair lately so maybe she'll listen to you more than she'll listen to me 😂 But I also have a question, if you don't mind. I've been natural all my life but I never really rocked my curls (3b/3c) and took care of them up until two years ago but I've started to notice recently that some of the areas where I have 3c curls, are changing into 3b...is this normal or should I be worried?
I needed ALL of these tips. I love how you have your hair cut. I also wanted to ask, what do you use to edit your videos? I want to transition from iMovie!
Where was this video a year ago when I first started! I love this tho. Thank you for doing a video like this! Also the Denman brush is a god send for training your curls!
This is so helpful, thank you!! Lots of great tips. I love how you went through all of the steps in detail. I really need help with days two, three etc. I will try the bonnet at night. I bought one but I haven’t worn it. My husband says that I “look like I’m the school lunch lady ready to fry fish” 😂 . So I don’t wear it, it’s not very sexy. However, it’s hard work getting it to look good to not take care of it at night. He’ll have to deal with the lunch lady LOL
I love your video! It really spoke to me and my situation! I’m currently transitioning and am lost. I do have a question however. You said the first rule is to avoid heat but then with the deep conditioning you say sit under heat for about 20 mins. I’m what CGM called 2b/2c hair.
Jamaican Castor Oil scalp treatments ( 2-3 days straight before I co-wash) and a daily intake of Biotin pills are my go to steps for hair growth! Super effective. 💎
Omg me encanta tus videos y gracias por todos tus tip e aprendido mucho sobre mi cabello para volver a tener mis rizos el proceso es duro pero lo voy a logra
I have wavy hair that’s down to my waist and have been straightening it since I was a teen. I recently cut 4 inches off the length but there’s still another 4 inches at the ends that’s completely straight if I don’t spend the time to plop. This video is making me consider getting a pixie cut since my hair is so frizzy and heat damaged.
I cut 6 inches off then 6 months later cut another 6 months. It has been a year and a half and I probably need to cut another 6 off. I just couldn’t cut it all off at once
omg ♥️ first look at ur hair and i was like woahhh ♥️♥️.....i have a question? why even after using the leave in and defining gel, my hair does not look natural and is always crusty? and why there isn't any volume?? 😰😰😰
I sleep with a bun on the very top of my head because it's too long for the pineapple (tail bone length), I might re start the curly journey because of dye, but my hair just doesn't take the semi permanent dyes and even permanent has a hard time getting into my hair but still damages it, but I hate my light brown so much, this is very helpful! saludos desde España :)
All great tips 👍🏻! I hate my day 2 hair. I pineapple. Sleep with satin pillowcase. My curls seem to dry out and look like hell. I definitely need to deep condition. That I don’t do. The only thing I don’t like is feeling a residue from too much product. Maybe I’ll try Curl Smith. I need help!!! LOL
1.Don’t use heat, any chemicals(color etc)
Either you transition or big chop
2. Deep conditioning at least once a week
to strengthen
3. Cowash more and shampoo less
4. Styling your curls
Section your hair 6ish sections to get product through out
Make sure you use enough water
Finger coil! Train your curls
5. Wet plop and diffuse
Blend stringy pieces and give volume
Stay away from silicones and sulfates until your hair gets stronger
6. Preserve your curls
Sleep on satin pillow case
Put your hair in a ponytail or bun and put on bonnet
I love when ppl do this thank you have a bless day ❤️
Thank you for this!! 💛💛
Lord thank youuuu
Thank you so much 🙌
Lllllld tyou h to see ok I😮😊😊😊
That is SOOO true bout comparisons. Everyone's hair is different and you have to find out what works for you. Stopped relaxing my hair 2 years ago and this year cut out the remainder of the relaxer in my hair. And I'm definitely loving my hair more. oh how I wish people like you and Bianca Renee had been around 20 years ago.
aww that makes me so happy!!! You go girlll 💪🏽
I love that Curlsmith co wash always reaching for it. The more I use it the more it grows on me . It gets buildup off so good without drying it out and it smells so good
Me never sectioning my hair and wonder why i keep having loads of frizz 😐
When I'm home I'm wearing a bonnet the entire day 😂😂 with my glasses my boyfriend says I look like a grandma 😂😂
Hahahahahaha right!!
🤣❤️
Same vibes
I've just dyed my hair lol. I was going grey at the roots and because of this I wasn't wearing my hair out I was still taking care of it though. I was doing the wetting my hair and applying product to small sections and my hair came out beautifully. And it's all thanks to you!. Thank you sweetheart, you've helped me a lot. Your never too old to learn lol. Thanks for sharing your tips 😊❤🖐🏻
Wet plopping is my new GoTo!! Thank you ❤️ you’re always an inspiration 💕
Me encantan tus tips, me ayudan mucho ya que estoy en transición, saludos desde República Dominicana 🇩🇴❤️❤️
yay!! muchas gracias 💛
I love that you said don't compare hair to your hair type or others and that God made us all differently. God bless you. 🙏
if you don't like shampooing then I recommend a moisturizing shampoo. Shampoo removes build-up, research says that build up can lead one moisture overload, product up in your hair follicles and hair loss. Yes, you can co-wash but not shampooing can actually just cause your hair to feel dry since you are literally having layers of products sitting on your hair for week or days. With that being said, you might think your hair is dry but sometimes it's literally from the build up. I co-wash here and there but only like once a month. Research moisture overload and protein fatigue! Moisturizing shampoo will not strip your hair, it will cleanse your hair while leaving your hair soft. Some are: Bounce curls Clarifying shampoo or Moisturizing shampoo, Soultanicals Butta Shampoo, Novex Mystic Black Shampoo.
P.S I love chelli, you go girl!
I loveeeeee this message about not comparing hair 🖤🩷🤍
Such a great video! Well done girl 🙌🏼❤️

I’m Dominican too it’s true ,it’s because our mothers are obsessed with being clean
Just subscribed to your channel

I did not use heat… I would wear wigs and sew ins in I want straight look.
Now my hair is long enough that I feel confident to wear curly every day In the last 3 weeks. (Stopped wearing the wigs. Lol)
I wanted to say thank you for reminding me that I need to deep condition even though my hair is in GREAT condition
I need to continue to moisturize so it doesn’t change on me.
But what happens if you have grays and want to cover them? What can I use that’s less harsh on my hair to cover them?
TWO QUESTIONS:
1. How long does transitioning typically take?
2. How bad is it to occasionally straighten my hair? Not often, but once in a while if I just want a different look?
Sectioning your hair is the key! I learned this from you! It changed my life🙌🏽🙌🏽
I did the big chop and dying for my curls to come back to try your tips TY!
Watching today and reflecting on 2020, working from home and feeling goofy when I hold a meeting. People can even interact, but it feels like I’m lecturing. Your natural conversational style is amazing and feels like we are talking over coffee. Keep representing!
Also, thank you for all the knowledge! I’m twice your age but need all the help I can get!
Thank u so much for such a helpful and well done video!! Need more❤️❤️😍
Yay!! You’re so welcome!!
I had the big chop today! Thank you for this video, very helpful.
Her: you may be in your early 20s or maybe your in your 50s
*me not even in my teens yet*
Great video
My curls are a LOT tighter and I did the big chop so my hair is shorter (4 1/2 inches in back when stretched bu looks about 2 inches with curl).
How do I preserve my curls for day 2-5?? When I wake up and take off my bonnet my hair is packed down.
I wish I had this video to watch back when I first started my transition! So informational quick and easy! Thank you for making this, I know new transitioners appreciate it ❣
Thank you so much! I am from DR too and I remember needing to do two and sometimes 3 washes. My mom would say "con una lavada do hace espuma." I get the frizz at the crown of my hair too. I have been transitioning for about a year. But I still have some issues.
I transitioned my hair. My hair was jacked up for 2 years, so I had to make myself look profession anyway. I definitely used heat, BUT not the way anyone has shared on RUclips. I did a hot brush and low heat (250 to 265F) to help merge the line of demarcation and prevent breakage. So, not a silk press. Not heated under a lot of tension. And not looking like I don’t care. But, just an everyday look. I think using some heat styling is reasonable.
Thank you so much for this!! Your tips have helped me so much!!!! My curls have never looked better. God bless you 💕💕
Luv that u are doing this.. It's so hard to gather info from all these sources and videos etc 😊
Love love love all your videos! I have been learning so much. Do you have a video solely on co-washing? If not I would love to see that in the near future since it makes a big difference for you.
Your transitioning journey sounds so much like mine I'm 3 weeks into my healthy hair journey. Thanx for all the tips
yay youre welcome!!
@@chelliscurls Thank you I'm super excited cos today marks 4 weeks in and I can see some curls only issue I have is major frizz at my roots what can I do to to fix it
Soo today was wash day for me and I followed your tips. Let me just say I LOVE how juicy and defined my curls look. Now to attempt and preserve will be another mission lol thanks for sharing
Hello Franchelli! Your videos are awesome and have helped me figure out this transitioning process a little better. I am a year and four months in and I’ve seen progress but my hair is soooo dry🥺 I did the “big chop” back in March and the shrinkage is REaL! Anyway! Love love your videos.🥰
Paisana, you are the best PERIOT...
Can you pleaaaaase tell me about your glasses? I went to your Amazon Favs but I couldn't found them, they're not the same, please :)
Thank you so much that was very clear and straight to the point
Great info. I need to learn so much about managing curly hair.
First of all, love the glasses! I started transitioning almost 3 years ago when I noticed my son had my curls!!! But... I have to dye my hair, I'm just not ready for the grays yet... I did wait till this year to dye though
thanks so much girl!! and girl greys are so cute when taken care of
I love your curls !!!! I need to learn
coming back to this since i’ve been straightening my hair lately and i have a few straight strands when i try to style my hair, i love my curls and ever since i cut my hair really short, it has been a bit harder to mantain bc i’m a sucker for definition. thank you for this! 🪴
Great video Chelli! I’m so happy you paused and trimmed those dead ends! Lol. Coming across your channel was one of the best things that could have happen to me and my curls!
Really, i didn’t know that u speak Spanish, I’m Puerto Rican and I did one year of transitioning and I did my big chop like a month a go but my hair still have damage ends like scalp hair but I’m working on it ik is not going to look good immediately it take time but is a process and is actually fun. I have a Afro 3c I really like it tho but it’s frizzy. But the cowash and deep conditioning work amazing when I was on transitioning it live my hair so soft and not that frizzy. I’m still working with my definition bc is just not looking the way I one bc like I said is a process so yeah, God bless uuuu. 🤗🤗🤗
Great video!! Thank you so much!! You forgot to link the video on styling (sectioning).
So needed this video. I transitioned three months ago but my curls haven't been looking good. I'm going to try tip #5 &6 wet plop & finger coiling each section.
Thank you so much, for your tips!
Great summary. All in one take. Thanks
You are the absolute best ma fren .... I am very very short, not really transitioning but have a lot of frizz, trying to get to the stage where I can actually get to wet plop ... a short bob .... pray for me .... but these tips are very very very helpful
Love your curls, I Believe mine could get as yours... I'm also Dominican, tocaya XD thank you for the tips! I'm going to begin this journey. I don't go so much to the salon because I hate heat, (I'm used to go like 3-5 time per year) and just wash my hair in my house and combed it. But I decided to buy curly products to treat it. When I want curls I just prepare flax seeds. But I need to buy products and finally dedicate some time for my hair .
Love your channel, Franchelli! What water temperature would you recommend for washing & styling?! Thank you!
Hey Chelli! Loved the video...can't wait to show this to my mum. She's gotten so lazy with her hair lately so maybe she'll listen to you more than she'll listen to me 😂
But I also have a question, if you don't mind. I've been natural all my life but I never really rocked my curls (3b/3c) and took care of them up until two years ago but I've started to notice recently that some of the areas where I have 3c curls, are changing into 3b...is this normal or should I be worried?
Thank you! I had never seen someone talk about two pineapples under the bonnet. Doing it after tomorrow's wash day.
Love your hair ❤and glasses 💕💕🤓
Love your videos! Eres la Mejor! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I needed ALL of these tips. I love how you have your hair cut. I also wanted to ask, what do you use to edit your videos? I want to transition from iMovie!
thanks so much!! I use Final Cut Pro ☺️
Thanks so much for all those tips. I really needed this.🤗
Another video!!! 😁😁 I needed this, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the tips! I will start cowashing!!
I ❤❤❤ those glasses! Can you tell me the designer or where you got them? Another great video!
Thanks for this! Where did you get your glasses? Love them want them. Thanks mama's!
Where was this video a year ago when I first started! I love this tho. Thank you for doing a video like this! Also the Denman brush is a god send for training your curls!
The Denman🙌🏽🙌🏽 LOVE it
This is so helpful, thank you!! Lots of great tips. I love how you went through all of the steps in detail. I really need help with days two, three etc. I will try the bonnet at night. I bought one but I haven’t worn it. My husband says that I “look like I’m the school lunch lady ready to fry fish” 😂 . So I don’t wear it, it’s not very sexy. However, it’s hard work getting it to look good to not take care of it at night. He’ll have to deal with the lunch lady LOL
Great advice! Your hair is gorgeous (so are you).
Thanks for the amazing video 👌👌👌👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗 I would love to see a video how you co-wash your hair
I love your video! It really spoke to me and my situation! I’m currently transitioning and am lost. I do have a question however. You said the first rule is to avoid heat but then with the deep conditioning you say sit under heat for about 20 mins. I’m what CGM called 2b/2c hair.
Jamaican Castor Oil scalp treatments ( 2-3 days straight before I co-wash) and a daily intake of Biotin pills are my go to steps for hair growth! Super effective. 💎
Omg me encanta tus videos y gracias por todos tus tip e aprendido mucho sobre mi cabello para volver a tener mis rizos el proceso es duro pero lo voy a logra
I have wavy hair that’s down to my waist and have been straightening it since I was a teen. I recently cut 4 inches off the length but there’s still another 4 inches at the ends that’s completely straight if I don’t spend the time to plop. This video is making me consider getting a pixie cut since my hair is so frizzy and heat damaged.
I cut 6 inches off then 6 months later cut another 6 months. It has been a year and a half and I probably need to cut another 6 off. I just couldn’t cut it all off at once
omg ♥️ first look at ur hair and i was like woahhh ♥️♥️.....i have a question? why even after using the leave in and defining gel, my hair does not look natural and is always crusty? and why there isn't any volume?? 😰😰😰
I dyed my hair 6 months after transitioning. I have too many grey hairs lol
Love the colour of your glasses. Who are your frames by - What's the brand?
Also love & need all of your hair tips. My ends are forever dry. Thanks!
You're one of my all time fave RUclipsrs! Big love from Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific islands 😘 one question girl, what is wet plopping? 😅
Wow! Three great videos/vlogs in three days!!! Lucky us!!!!😁
Lmao you had me at "vamo a lavarte la cabeza"
I sleep with a bun on the very top of my head because it's too long for the pineapple (tail bone length), I might re start the curly journey because of dye, but my hair just doesn't take the semi permanent dyes and even permanent has a hard time getting into my hair but still damages it, but I hate my light brown so much, this is very helpful! saludos desde España :)
All great tips 👍🏻! I hate my day 2 hair. I pineapple. Sleep with satin pillowcase. My curls seem to dry out and look like hell. I definitely need to deep condition. That I don’t do. The only thing I don’t like is feeling a residue from too much product. Maybe I’ll try Curl Smith. I need help!!! LOL
Totally loved this video♡
