Thank u so much! I forget that not everyone understands their curls and everyone seems to be transitioning. I've had curly hair all my life so I don't think about the steps consciously since I've done it forever so I had to really think what I did and also do my homework before I made this vid for you :)
that's what happened to me too! i was only washing once a week and not adding water throughout the week and messed up my hair! i still wash once a week sometimes twice but i've gone back to twisting my hair at night :)
I totally agree with that point !! About 2 years ago I made a conscious decision to just be the best version of MYSELF that I could be- it was liberating and before I knew it, I didn't want to look like other girls, I wanted to look like me ! :)
try a 2 strand twist out on dry hair. i have a video on the twist out in my curly playlist. oils generally help "stretch" out my curl which is why curly hair looks longer the "older" it gets between washes. i use coconut oil :)
Hey Daytona hicks, Maya is such an inspiration, right? She inspired me to start my own channel teaching curlies easy and cute hairstyles. If you are interested in fresh, easy styles for your curls, I would love to have you check out my tutorials. And if you do end up having time to check it out, I'd love to know what you think! Thank you and I wish you all the best!
Very informative video! I did the Big Chop Monday May 6, 2013! My bottom hair was so thin so I cut it all off!! I want the bottom to be full like the topl My hair was so damaged and broken off! I was going to the salon every 2 weeks! I've been watching the videos the past 6weeks, using the products and my hair has improved drastically!! No more sink full of hair in the morning!! No more hair all over my desk! My hair was falling out w/o touching it. No More! :) And I'm saving money!! Thx!
I haven't! I'm lame. Although the cut looks great on me my concern was how it would look if I ever straightened my hair since it's such an unconventional cut
omg! you just changed my regime. i didnt undertand why my hair wouldnt soak up the moisture. the product would just sit on my hair and it felt greasy. you made it all make sense. ive been doing it backwards all this time. thank you!
I just found this channel, and love it! I love the way you edit, the music, and of course the girls!! Y'all are so calming and nice. Plus, I love your tips for curly hair, I need them! My curls are better with this channel.
You are amazing. I love you. lol I have crazy, thick, curly hair, and my curls are TIGHT, so it gets big when i leave it down, all in all, I have NEVER been comfortable with it. After watching your videos I feel better about myself, and my hair! I actually look forward to wearing it down now, rather than keep it in braids almost half the time! ^^ Thanks so much girl! My confidence level is 1000000000000000000x boosted because of you!
Thanks for sharing as I am newly natural and still trying to manage my "curly" texture. And I would love to see your hair straightened also and I can never get enough hair videos from you!
coconut oil has saved my hair! I use it as a deep conditioner, pre-cleanse, and to seal my curls. Thanks so much for being a big part of me getting healthy hair and loving my curls!
i was using it daily :) when i wasn't spritzing daily my hair was a disaster! i'm talking 5 splits per strand! this along with that conditioner saved my hair before donation :) i was so paranoid a kid would get my hair and it would break off and cause them more stress than happiness! thank GOD this worked for me :) or whoever has my hair now :)
Maya, you are so inspirational! I used to only wear my hair straight but because you inspired me to, I wear it curly all the time! I havent straightened it in 4 months now
Both of my girls ages 6 & 3 have super curly hair. I love these videos. I have learned so much watching you tube and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. My hair is wavy so I do understand frizz & dryness but now I know it goes to a whole other level. :)
Thank you for this video post! These 5 tips are simple, yet, very important for the overall healthy hair regimen. And yes girl! The T-shirt moment is in full effect! I stopped using a towel the same day I took heat out of my regimen. I have noticed a HUGE difference in how my hair feels and looks after it is washed. I shall never return to those bad habits! Please continue teaching curlies about hair healthy and beauty as well as self love and shamelessness! Peace, love, and smiles :) Lee Aoki
This helped alot! When I was younger I used to hate my curls because I live in Hawaii & all the girls here have straight hair, so I permed my hair for about 4 years of my life then I stopped when I was a sophmore, but I would dye my hair so my curls didn't look how they did when I was younger. As I've gotten older I realized that CURLS ARE BEAUTIFUL! & that I need to embrace my mixed hair. I havent dyed my hair for about a year & now I'm trying to bring back some moisture and get healthy curls, this helped me alot! THANKS :)
Maya, can I just say, that I've found your videos not too long ago and I am loving them! I love your personality, all the colors, your editing, and just you overall! You're a great person and I hope you realize it.
no wonderrrrr! my hair always ends up drying out after i condition / oil it up heaps, then braid it. Step 3 and the satin pillow case i needa follow through on
I'm relaxed and I watch your videos and learn so much. My hair is "low porosity" so it's very similar to curly hair. It hates silicones, too much protein and is very dry. Ah you're perfect, thanks for this vid!
Maya, please do a separate video on protective hairstyles! This video was brilliant and so informative (not in a boring way!). Love love love your vids cos you know what your talking about girl so thank you! x
OMG even though this vid is years old, you just educated me on what different products do to my hair. I always wondered why people put oil after water and conditioner. UGH thanks for the knowledge. Because honey I need it on this natural journey
I was the spray with water and oil for years,and it was fine. However, I recently started using it with water, conditioner and oil ,and it is much softer. Thanks!
my friends love you, and they told me to check you out because im mixed (black, Dominican and indian) and i have curly hair,I just never knew the right way to treat it but from watching your video i found lots of helpful tips. Thanks! :D
Keep doin you boo!!! :) You are such an inspiration sweetie!! I'm a new subbie (about a month or so). I've been natural for about two years now & I love it. I actually loved my short hair when I did the big chop, thinking of doing it again. You remind me so much of my daughters, they are both following their dreams! Loving the videos!! :)
I know you're not asking me but I have 2 tips : Invest in a diffuser it dries your hair and reduces frizz ... Or start drying hair with a cotton t shirt it reaaally makes a difference.
i dont like diffusers, i have one but avoid it when i can, if you look closely, you have a halo of frizz after diffusing and it makes your hair last less, so more washing. plopping with a cotton shirt and then leaving it too air dry is better
I really appreciate all the advice you've given us! About curly hair, and now we all have our own style of curly hair and don't hate that big blob that used to be on our heads! I mean you give good advice on curly hair, but not just that you entertain us! You make us laugh ;D Love you Maya! - A Girl In The World Of Curls
This video is going to save my hair! Haha I tried many different videos and websites to understand how to take care of curly hair, but it was never in depth or it wasn't african/mixed curly hair care! So thank you!
There are micro fiber head towels that do not cause your hair to frizz, I was looking for one for a while and I found mine at target, 2 for $10 I believe. It comes it different colors and patterns. I know you cut your hair (which by the way you look amazing-brave!) but I love your curly hair, my niece has this exact hair texture. Sending you blessings
well those bullies think very low of themselves so they try to bring beautiful people like you to their level to feel better. the best thing you can do is pray for them and continue to hold your head up high :)
I still can't get over how healthy your hair looks here!
that's what I thought??
i know right!!!! its just full of body, sheen and looks oh so healthy!!!
I know right!
"Embrace what you have. Improve what you have."
That's a burn and I HOPE it leaves the mark.
Thank you SO MUCH for your videos. Like... Really. ♥
Your welcome! and that's for stopping by!
Get you fill of curly hair videos in this playlist I made with all my curly hair videos :) bit.ly/1ll5C39

You look good
omg Tasha's hair is so pretty i love that afro..... and i also love the rest of your guys hair #teeam curly
you should try using mooring oil :D
i miss your curly hair , i wish you could still make the curly hair videos ....
Thank u so much! I forget that not everyone understands their curls and everyone seems to be transitioning. I've had curly hair all my life so I don't think about the steps consciously since I've done it forever so I had to really think what I did and also do my homework before I made this vid for you :)
that's what happened to me too! i was only washing once a week and not adding water throughout the week and messed up my hair! i still wash once a week sometimes twice but i've gone back to twisting my hair at night :)
thanks Megan! i hope you find my curly playlist helpful!
for me, coconut oil and twist outs help stretched the curl out :) watch my curly playlist that has the twist out video :)
I put it in the description now :) Buffalo Exchange. Love them for accessories
it was a cotton/polyester blend. watch my curly hair play list :)
i don't think it matters much. mine is cotton/poly mix. or you could use a micro fibre towel. i'm just use what i have and my skirt does the job :)
yes! oops! i meant 2 strand twists. not twist out! thanks Eretta
I totally agree with that point !! About 2 years ago I made a conscious decision to just be the best version of MYSELF that I could be- it was liberating and before I knew it, I didn't want to look like other girls, I wanted to look like me ! :)
i don't use any products now besides shea butter :) but when i did have hair i did not use mixed chicks. i prefer more natural ingredients
try a 2 strand twist out on dry hair. i have a video on the twist out in my curly playlist. oils generally help "stretch" out my curl which is why curly hair looks longer the "older" it gets between washes. i use coconut oil :)
me too
it's in the video along with a link
I've always wanted curly big hair!! lovely video :)
I am 21 and you are the first person in my life who has helpful advise for my hair. its almost as curly as yours! you rock girl thanks a million

I haven't! I'm lame. Although the cut looks great on me my concern was how it would look if I ever straightened my hair since it's such an unconventional cut
i personally don't but i know people who do. i just used water and if it was really frizzy i would use a little product.
omg! you just changed my regime. i didnt undertand why my hair wouldnt soak up the moisture. the product would just sit on my hair and it felt greasy. you made it all make sense. ive been doing it backwards all this time. thank you!
glad to hear it!!!
cotton/polyester blend :)
you tell me. i haven't tried it. is it good?
yes! i was thinking about that!
yes it penetrates the hair shaft but not water :)
have you tried a 2 strand twistout?
I just found this channel, and love it! I love the way you edit, the music, and of course the girls!! Y'all are so calming and nice. Plus, I love your tips for curly hair, I need them! My curls are better with this channel.
do you! if you need to detangle go ahead. listen to your hair. when i did detangle, i would use lots of conditioner and do it in the shower
you ballin'! microfiber towels are awesome!
You are amazing. I love you. lol
I have crazy, thick, curly hair, and my curls are TIGHT, so it gets big when i leave it down, all in all, I have NEVER been comfortable with it.

i have a video on my curly hair cut. as of now i have a buzz :)
This ...HAS to be one of my favorite Healthy Curly Hair tips videos. I had no idea that the order in which you apply products mattered.
no wonderrrrr! my hair always ends up drying out after i condition / oil it up heaps, then braid it. Step 3 and the satin pillow case i needa follow through on
I'm relaxed and I watch your videos and learn so much. My hair is "low porosity" so it's very similar to curly hair. It hates silicones, too much protein and is very dry. Ah you're perfect, thanks for this vid!
Maybe it's too heavy for your hair. There are other light oils out there you can look into. Me and my friends also like Moroccan Oil.
Maya, please do a separate video on protective hairstyles! This video was brilliant and so informative (not in a boring way!). Love love love your vids cos you know what your talking about girl so thank you! x
i haven't but i did hear awesome things about it
I'm excited for my curly hair!!!! I'm getting the big chop on Monday thanks Mrs.Maya

OMG even though this vid is years old, you just educated me on what different products do to my hair. I always wondered why people put oil after water and conditioner. UGH thanks for the knowledge. Because honey I need it on this natural journey
I was the spray with water and oil for years,and it was fine. However, I recently started using it with water, conditioner and oil ,and it is much softer. Thanks!

I actually loved my short hair when I did the big chop, thinking of doing it again. You remind me so much of my daughters, they are both following their dreams! Loving the videos!! :)
I have really curly hair and these tips are different. I have never heard these before. They helped me SO much. Thank you SO much.
i have hair exactly like yours but shorter. its shorter bc when it dries, it shrinks up. i also have a super bad frizz problem. any tips?
I know you're not asking me but I have 2 tips : Invest in a diffuser it dries your hair and reduces frizz ... Or start drying hair with a cotton t shirt it reaaally makes a difference.
i dont like diffusers, i have one but avoid it when i can, if you look closely, you have a halo of frizz after diffusing and it makes your hair last less, so more washing. plopping with a cotton shirt and then leaving it too air dry is better
do you boo!
