You are very inspiring (: I just recently did the big chop, & shaved my entire head off last year on 04/27/14 because I was relaxed, & my hair was chemically damaged to the point it was so stringy & lifeless. I suffered from constant breakage, and just wasn't able to retain length. I started watching videos on women like yourself who were fully educated on taking care of our natural hair, as well as how to retain length and taking care of your ends since it's the oldest part of hair that's on our head. I've learned the basics on just maintaining a natural head of healthy hair, and scalp through watching your channel. I just thought I would let you know, you have truly inspired me & taught me how to embrace my true beauty... you're beautiful/ black is beautiful
Hi Tiyanna, Tiyanna Young I am so happy to hear you are embracing your natural beauty. Sometimes I wonder if my videos are helping and your lovely message gave me the confirmation I needed. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I would love to feature you on my Facebook page. Can you share before and after photos of your progress? Anything you feel comfortable with so that it may be of encouragement to someone else with a similar story.
That was great. You really are the bomb. I have locs but I still follow your advice especially on maintaining moisture and my hair is thriving. I feel like every time I wash my hair (once every 2 weeks), I get a little growth spurt. I may try once a week and see if I can maximize my growth cycle. I love love love your videos. The passion is real 😀
ladudley1 I am so happy to be a source of inspiration during your natural hair journey. I keep a pretty simple hair regimen and the hair just grows. So I am sharing with others to keep you from purchasing more products than necessary just to maintain your hair in good condition as it continues to grow. How long have you been natural? what length is your hair now?
okay so i've been doing the night routine all wrong. i have tighter coils and have been trying to band or do the pineapple like looser curly girls. huge mistake and i always have to redo my wash n go like every 2 days maybe 3 but thats stretching it. def going to try your routine/technique to see if it helps mine last longer. i already know i wont get 9 days and trying would be hair suicide for me but a good 5 days would make me so happy. thanks and love your videos so much!!!
Hi there! Its me again..the one who has the same low porosity section as you and puts ecostyler gel without a moisturizer :/ (i'm trying to do better!) So, I enjoyed watching this video and the one of your wash n go routine, I'm definitely going to incorporate a leave-in under the eco-styler! Do you still use the Aveda products? Also, I saw your other video about how you like using Argon oil, how do you incorporate that into your routine?
I wish I had found you sooner and I also wish I lived in t Bronx. My natural hair used to be gorgeous, but lately, it has been hard. I will try a protein treatment today I also have horrible wash and gos. I will try your technique.
Ur hair is gorgeous!! I thought I was the only person who just tied their hair back w/o a pineapple or anything. And I do typically shake my head that hard because it's fun for me. I just take an aspirin for the headache :)
Afeisha Harewood. Girl, back then I happy to fit my hair in a hat cause it gets cold up here NYC, lol. Now I have to pull it back and plot a hood over.

I touch my hair too damn much to maintain something like this lol. This woman has dicipline!

we have similar curl patterns but my hair is a lot shorter than yours. I can't wait to get some length. watching your videos is inspirational

I tried your wash and go routine and my hair came out great!! My problem now is that when I sleep my curls get smashed 😖
Did you do a pineapple at bedtime?
What actually helped you maintain moisture
3 things: Applying Gel to soaking wet hair, air drying, wearing a silk scarf at night. Thank you for your comment, I hope this is helpful.
we have the same exact hair. you maintain it very well

I'm lucky if i get 3 days! i have such low density that too much product makes my hair look thin, but by the end of day 2, my hair feels dry
