Hey guys! I'm sorry about my lens refocusing during filming, it was adjusting to the lighting changes while in auto-focus! Thank for all the positive feedback! I'm taking notes on the requests. 💞😉😊😘
Your videos are great and very informative as usual. Did you ever start taking any vitamins that you talked about in your hair shedding video? If so, do you care to share the name of the vitamins and the brand.
Hi! I'm new to your channel and I'm loving your videos. Do you ever use styling tools? They've been pulling my hair out but my hair is so thick that I don't know if I can go completely without them.
KinkyGoddess you took the words out of my mouth. I've been waiting for her to finish the collection. I just did one of the styles today. Well, my version of it. My hair is thicker and of a course texture.
Yes, YES! My hair has gotten so much longer in my second year natural that I MUST begin to protective style. I would love to see more braided/twisted styling.
I love your videos! I've been following you since you were transitioning, and I always trust the products that you recommend. I actually started doing clay washes after watching your video on it. Keep doing your thang girl!! 🙌🏾
Oh my gosh,I was having such a bad day then I watched this & my spirits have been lifted.Thank you for being you,your vibe is so contagious. I love you...
It really depends on the line. Coconut & Hibiscus was trash for me, but the Raw Shea Butter one is awesome! I'd try the JBCO one but I'm low porosity and really not in need of too much protein.
I would like to see how you care for the crown of your hair... for some reason, this area of my hair grows so much slower than the perimeter and the nape area. my crown is a whole inch shorter than the front perimeter of my hair, and 1.5" shorter than my nape. it is the thickest, and most coarse section of my hair. I've tried being super gentle, and taking care of moisturizing and sealing it well... and alas, it's still not flourishing as the rest of the hair on my head... what to do? what techniques to introduce?
Omg, my crown area is so weird, I'm trying to take notes and figure out the situation. It's frustrating! I'm thinking there's probably a difference in porosity and/or texture.
Happy New Year to you! Always live for your videos. The TGIN Honey Miracle mask is the bomb! I have already blowned through 3 jars already. It is my staple! As usual you look beautiful! Thanks for a great video!
the cornrow style with beads in your thumbnail(and in your book review from a few months ago) Did you do that style yourself? If so can you link or recreate that style thanks ☺
Travel vlogs, London vlogs, what you're currently reading/book reviews, chat/advice/life videos and the queen collection series. Happy New Year boo!❤️

Short, Shoulder-lengrh or Long hair - it doesn't matter - they would all look great on you. Also - thank you for not complaining about shrinkage. Thank you for embracing it. I would love to see you and other youtubers doing a full video on embracing shrinkage and the wonderful styles you can get from it.
The Shea Moisture JBCO DC & the TGIN Honey Miracle Mask are so bomb & I've been using your shea butter mix on mine and my daughters hair and I LOVE it!!!!! I will definitely be ordering more!
Happy New Year Laila. Nyame nhyira wonso paa. I watch your friends channel. Her videos and regimen are interesting. I love your sweatshirt. I want to try the TGIN line. Yasss you love the hair mayonnaise. I found out about it through you some years back. Thank you for sharing this video. Consistency in every area of my life is my New Years resolution. 😊
Yes! You know about that Vitale Olive Oil Hair Mayo! That is my base deep conditioner. very inexpensive & that big jar lasts a long time. Makes my hair very soft.
I have been watching you since yesterday night !! Your channel is very nice !! Thank you for all the tips and info !! Making me feel like I can really do this !! I kind of shave all my hair off every three years because I keep messing up and damaging them !! I decided to give it another shot .. I have been natural for 7 months now !! And discovering your channel is definitely going to help me ✨ I want to see my healthy natural fro reaching it's full capacity of growth 🙌🏽
Would love more hair style idea vids.. I just never know wat to do with my hair!... i get so bored with the puff & twistouts that's all I know how to do
Can we get an update on your tea rinses. I am about to start it in conjunction with another treatment and I wanted to know where you are now with your rinses
Hi Laila ! Thanks for the video ! It would be nice if you do a video about your current job and your studies, I know it's not about hair 😅 I'm not sure if you already did a video about that before
Something I would love to see more videos on it the moisture protein balance and I think other girls would also need more advice on that! How do you know whether you are putting enough or too much protein in your hair?
This was so helpful because it was simple so thank you! I would love to know like low maintenance tips for retaining length and also you mentioned the stuff you put in your DIYs and i would like to know how you know what to add together and what to put into your mixtures to get the best results. Thanks lovely x
Great video. I use some of these products. I have discovered I have low porosity hair and I live in a state with hard water. How do you keep your hair moisturized daily? I am trying to not do product over load but I find my hair is dry so I need to add moisture almost daily. I don't want to over manipulate my hair to cause breakage. I would like to see videos on hair moisture retention and growth. Thanks. Happy New Year!!!
I just received my Whipped Shea Butter today. It smells AMAZING!!!! Like vanilla frosting on a cupcake good. 😜 I can't wait till this weekend when I will redo my twist utilizing it.
It's so awesome to see a Ghanaian on!! I heard there were not many before I never paid attention to country of origin or background. Anyway, my hubby is from Ghana and our kids are half Ghanain.
Hi Fusion of Cultures; This is Nakita; I have Low Porosity Hair Too! I'm definitely Trying your Pre Wash. In order to Give my Hair a Treat Before Washing. Going to do it Exactly How you demonstrated it. Going to Try it with Green Tea & That's warm in a Spray Bottle to open up my hair cuticles. Then use a oil to help detangle. Thanks Alot!
Happy New Year! I love your videos, you have such great information and recipe's for your hair, I'm going to start trying them out. Thanks so much for sharing and may you have a great year ahead.
When I first used Shea moisture JBCO it made my hair feel like straw but if you read the instructions and keep using it over like a month you see the difference, my hair is soooo soft now.!! But I swear by cantu leave in.. JBCO oil one is nice but I loveeeeee cantu x
Happy New Year Laila! I really appreciate your videos, especially this one. Its nice to have one place to view many of your videos. By the way, your videos have become so professional, beautifully executed, and well informed. Hair health is very important to me and your videos give me lots of information and tips. I've also really admired your fashion style, and your accessories in this video are on point lol! Love the mismatched earrings, silver rings, and choker! Okay, this comment is long enough lol. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your videos this year :)
I use you and @curlyproverbs for my hair regimen. I started back in November and have grown 2 inches so far. My goal is ATLEAST 5 more by summer. Keep up the good work. Alot of us look up to the both of you when it comes to our hair ☺ Happy New Year!!
Ayyeeee keep the twi coming. When you started speaking twi my fiancé was SO confused lol he usually thinks I watch nonsense on RUclips and when he heard u speaking twi he was like what is going on lol I was like fio!
sunflower child That's the first thing I thought when I saw this video lol! Try NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in "Amethyst" and NYX Simply Vamp Lip Cream in "Temptress" as a liner. I don't know what brands Leila used in this video but the color looks very similar to those two shades that I have at home.
Laila!!! I'm glad to see you looking like you feel much better. Love your videos. The crown tutorials, your Laila's pieces and your videos you do work Kaila (kyla?) I forget what they're called. But I love those videos. I'm excited to see what's in store
I love the video as usual. I thank you for taking the time to share with us your journey. I have been a subscriber since your transitioning days! we go way back 8-). I love it! God bless
Hey Laila, really love all your videos. I get so excited when I see you've uploaded a new one. Just wanted to ask you a question. Is there any particular reason as to why you don't do protective hairstyles with hair extensions? Does it cause you breakage? I'm thinking of moving away from it and really focus on my hair like I did when I started my hair journey.. Thank you for your videos!
I love your channel and I'm so glad that you made this informative video! Can you make a wash and go video next? And maybe review Camille Rose Naturals products?
I have just joined. Love the hair and hope to get there soon. Can you use two moistures at the same time or two leave-ins at the same time or going back and forth. I love trying different products.
Thanks for the video! Have you tried any products from the Camille Rose Naturals line? I personally love the products I've tried from them. Was just wondering about your experience with them, if any. Thanks!
just got that Shea moisture jbco mask today. I don't like the smell but my hair needs help happy new year and it was really cool to hear you speaking your language (Ghanaian? Twi? sorry idk)
You know I am taking notes right?... I need some of these items in my life💙💙💙 thanks for all the love girl 💋
You're accent is giving me life!
Thank you! Shut out to the Londoners 😊

Hi! I'm new to your channel and I'm loving your videos. Do you ever use styling tools? They've been pulling my hair out but my hair is so thick that I don't know if I can go completely without them.
great video❤❤❤
this was actually uploaded on my birthday 😢 😢 ❤ ❤
I never knew you were Ghanaian!! Ur such a hairinspiration keep doing you I love ur hair and your channel 😘😘
I really want you to complete the crown collection hair tutorials. 😊 plus a tutorial on that hairstyle in your thumbnail, it's gorgeous.
KinkyGoddess I was literally JUST looking to see if she finished them! PLEASE FINISH THAT COLLECTION!!! Lol
KinkyGoddess that was one of my requests too.
KinkyGoddess you took the words out of my mouth. I've been waiting for her to finish the collection. I just did one of the styles today. Well, my version of it. My hair is thicker and of a course texture.
Phonia Erin I can just imagine how beautiful it looks
Yes, YES! My hair has gotten so much longer in my second year natural that I MUST begin to protective style. I would love to see more braided/twisted styling.
Please finish the crown/African queens series
Would love to see how you take care of your hair throughout the week. I think that's where a lot of us struggle most! So a week in the life 😊
"Everything but a baby" Lol! Also, loved when you busted out with the Twi (didn't understand it, but impressed nonetheless, haha).
She is just the cutest I can't even with her lol what a doll 😍😍
Your hair grows fast. Do you have a specific diet you follow or a certain amount of water you drink a day that help with hair growth?
I love your videos! I've been following you since you were transitioning, and I always trust the products that you recommend. I actually started doing clay washes after watching your video on it. Keep doing your thang girl!! 🙌🏾
Hi Laila, it's great to see you back. I would like to see more episodes on A Nubian's Thoughts since you guys haven't done one for a long time.
Those twists were gorgeous! 😁
Oh my gosh,I was having such a bad day then I watched this & my spirits have been lifted.Thank you for being you,your vibe is so contagious. I love you...
I just love your personality. and your self as a whole
shea moisture products really don't work on me and i can't work out why.. the shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel like straw, literally.
Maia The only line that works for me with shea moisture is the Jamacian's castor oil one. But the others doesn't do a thing for my hair.
Maia their kinda hit and miss. you just have to play around with them and see what works for your hair
NaTasha M. Kilgore I haven't tried the JBCO line so I might try it. I think I tried the Shea butter restorative range which didn't work for me.
Maia that line didn't work from me either but the JBCO did
It really depends on the line. Coconut & Hibiscus was trash for me, but the Raw Shea Butter one is awesome! I'd try the JBCO one but I'm low porosity and really not in need of too much protein.
I would like to see how you care for the crown of your hair... for some reason, this area of my hair grows so much slower than the perimeter and the nape area. my crown is a whole inch shorter than the front perimeter of my hair, and 1.5" shorter than my nape. it is the thickest, and most coarse section of my hair. I've tried being super gentle, and taking care of moisturizing and sealing it well... and alas, it's still not flourishing as the rest of the hair on my head... what to do? what techniques to introduce?
Crowned_bySteph I have this same problem
Omg, my crown area is so weird, I'm trying to take notes and figure out the situation. It's frustrating! I'm thinking there's probably a difference in porosity and/or texture.
Happy New Year to you! Always live for your videos. The TGIN Honey Miracle mask is the bomb! I have already blowned through 3 jars already. It is my staple! As usual you look beautiful! Thanks for a great video!

rachelmm05 no when she put it up the first time she mentioned someone else did it
Alexandra Y. ok thanks for letting me know☺
Curly Proverbs sent me here. I think I am going to love your channel. New subbie!
I'm loving all these hand motions 😂
Another great video. I've been following you since about 2008/2009 since the long hair care forum. You always provide quality content. Thank you!!

just got that Shea moisture jbco mask today. I don't like the smell but my hair needs help
happy new year and it was really cool to hear you speaking your language (Ghanaian? Twi? sorry idk)
I'd love to try the TGIN deep conditioner. And I say create whatever you want. I'll watch whatever.
In the background on your desk, the open cubed glass jar, where did you get it from? I've been looking for one like that for ages!
Will you do a night time hair care routine tutorial? Your hair is so healthy and gorgeous 😍
