Idk why more people are not watching your videos! Ive seen so many 'curly hair speakers' but your by far the best. Speaking a lot of TRUTH many don't even touch upon, for life as well! I'm exited to join your course^^
I am excited to have you in my course! I am currently offering a holiday sale for women who are ready to make a change in their hair before the 2020 new year. You can email me at hello@powerinyourcurl.com for more info. And thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ whenever I create content my intention is that the message reaches exactly who it’s meant for so everything is working out in Divine timing 😌
I took cosmetology in high school, so you are correct. They had 1little section for black hair, and it was on relaxers🙄. They NEVER taught us how to take care of black hair.
What year did you take cosmetology? I ask because, up until about 5-10yrs ago the majority of black women were only interested in straight hair. For a lot of women, wearing out their natural hair simply wasn't an option (until of course we changed our mindsets in recent years). So I think that's why your cosmetology classes only taught about relaxed hair. If however your classes were more recent, then yeah, I agree with the other comments, it's time they changed their curriculum to include natural hair types.
I wany to revamp cosmetology school so we can learn curly bair types properly. And the kits should match. Natural Hair courses should be more than 300+ hours and deal with more than braiding and weaving.
Wish you could go on national television and say this. People would always think my mix heritage is why my hair is long. Black people can have/do have long beautiful hair. We were never taught how to keep it growing. Chemicals don't help and when I learned my prorosity, it changed my life. Thanks for this video so I can send people here.
God knows how many hairs on your head. All hair is good hair. my God made you fearfully and wonderfully. Sisters, don’t compare. You unique. Stay woke.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been natural for 2.5 years and have been at shoulder length the entire time. I was starting to think it was because I have 4b/4c hair, but it’s because it’s been experiencing breakage this entire time! Last year, I always wore my hair out during the day and did braid outs every single night. I’ve started to deep condition every week, cut off the brittle ends I’ve been hanging on to, using the LCO method while putting my hair in twists, and wearing wigs. I suffer from drier hair as well so I moisturize my twists every other day. I’ve only just started doing this about a month ago, but I’m already feeling like my hair is doing SO much better!
Beautiful 💛 I’ve always been natural. My mom went to hair school when I was coming up and thank god I only had one relaxer. But she would straighten my hair every two weeks and it was so thin. My senior year in high school I decided to go natural but never really learned how to take care of my hair from now on I’m 100% dedicated.
I am so with you on this video! My hair doesn't like to be styled either but I never thought about it that way until you just said it. You just helped me to be okay with having only one or two hairstyles that work for me. Thanks!
@@katnisseverdeen4021 I hear you, however I Refuse to believe We can Not do anything about it. If you are working with hair and especially being paid then you Need to know how to do curly hair. At least the basics. I'm speaking about combing, washing , very simple. Still have had "hairdressers" complaining that they couldn't do mix hair, black hair. Shame on all of them.
@@memekendall3197 Yeah I had one good lady do my hair in twists, braids sometimes flat ironed but nobody I know does natural hair only weaves and perms. My mom can do it though.
It’s so sad a lot of ethnic/black people didn’t even know the true texture of our hair at all, when I was younger I thought my hair type was straight 😒 I’ve been natural for 15+years and I love my beautiful 3b/3c curls 😊
Natural hair can be straight...it doesn't necessarily mean curly hair. However, I appreciate your thoughts and I too didn't know I had naturally curly hair until I was in my 40s.
@@ilaisicxza5266 I was simply making a distinction btwn natural hair and curly hair. They are not the same. Nor do black women own the term "natural hair".
@@ilaisicxza5266 ....so my point was that even if her hair was naturaly straight it would have been considered "natural" just the same as we curly girls refer to it.
My hair went down to my back from using bottles of scurl activator to the point it stayed moist 24/7. Now It never goes past my shoulder. Time to learn 🥰
One thing that I learned from this video is that I need to keep a hair journal. I feel like I have truly learned my hair within the last few years but I have a hard time remembering what products I loved.
This video is so encouraging! So much more than about hair care. I’ve been natural for 9years and had several periods of extreme breakage. Thank you for the beautiful examples and encouragement. Be blessed sis!
I agree 100%. I was doing so well when I first started, figuring out what worked for me and what didn't (no coconut oil for me)! Then I got depressed; really depressed for years. And everything reversed. My hair matted and broke off to the point where I am back to where I started when I first cut everything off. But I know where my hair can go. It might be super coiled and look short, but length-wise it was past shoulder length. And it will be again. You seem so sweet and caring. Great video.
I’m sooo grateful I found your channel! I was just about to go out and buy lots of products that I did not need. This video brought tears to my eyes - thank you from the depth of my soul your service!!
Wow, I really needed this! Not even just for info on proper hair care but for my emotional and mental health as well. I did not realize how stigmatizing i was towards my own hair texture. I am so insecure about my natural hair. I thought that i could never grow long hair because i have never seen it around me or if i did, it's because they were mixed. I am tired of wishing that i was someone else or a different ethnicity because of my hair texture. I realized that i treated my hair the exact same way i thought about my hair; but it is all lies. 2022 this will be a goal of mine! Healthy and flourishing hair !! Thank god i stumbled across this video! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
21:50 is what God wanted me to hear. You are just so complete, thorough, well spoken and clear in your explanations. You are also on the money sis, and I think my hair is like yours. Thanks so much. I'm inspired! God bless you sis.
My hair seems to grow the best in braids, with extensions. I am transitioning. I used Keratin, stopped relaxer. I try to keep it in a bun and I do my own braids with extensions. I moisturize the hair, usually braid it up after washing/conditioning. I use heavier oils like pink lusters castor oil, water, leave in condition usually a conditioner or shea moisture jamaican black castor oil.
@@jekessajohnson9673 Yes, it helps a lot. I love braids too because you can manipulate them without worrying about breakage to your hair. Do you use different oils? I'm also trying the Jamaican black castor oil from the Mango and Lime line with vitamins A, D, E. Smells amazing. It is very thick too. jamaicanmangolime.com/848/shop/jamaican-black-castor-oil/jamaican-black-castor-oil-vitamins-a-d-e/
This is truly a blessing for all women! Women who are transitioning to natural hair this info is truly a Godsend! But let me say this in all honesty, I am a 9 year breast cancer survivor and my change to natural hair has been successful , please ladies let’s give more attention to our inner beauty rather than outer, because that’s what really matters in the end I mean really!!! Yes! Look beautiful, take care of your hair, nails, weight, all that good stuff, but you had better check your insides, your character. Charm is deceitful, beauty is VAIN, but a woman who fears the Lord, shall be praised!!!! Proverbs 31:30
Many fail to realize that protein is vital for curly hair. My hair is 4c (high porosity) and I’m very careful with products that contain alcohol. I make my own shampoo using raw aloe vera, water, and coconut oil. All that is mixed in a blender and tada! natural home made shampoo. Trust me, it lathers like wow. I use hemp and baoboa conditioner after. I wash my hair every other day. Also food intake plays a vital role as well. I’ve been all natural for 2 years now. No heat/chemicals. I use to wash my hair every day but I switched it up to every other. It has gotten so thick and more work 😬🙋🏻😁 Sending you all lots of positive vibes 😉
MRS J It’s from Shea Moisture (Mongongo Hemp Seed) blue container. You can purchase it from either Sally’s Beauty Supply, Walgreens, CVS, Target, or Walmart for $12.99-13.99 the most. Noticed I stated on my comment I’m very careful with products that contain alcohol. When you do decide to purchase the conditioner I mentioned, don’t be alarmed by the Cetearyl, Stearyl, Cetyl Alcohol. Those are good fatty alcohols derived from vegetables (fats). Commonly used to emulsify hair products, cosmetics, etc. The ones you would want to avoid are Ethanol, Isopropyl, Methanol, and Denat Alcohol. But those are mostly found in skincare but I’ve also seen them in hair care products as well. Those alcohol are drying. 🙋🏻
I felt you when you said you have to know your hair. It’s so true. My hair didn’t “grow” until I knew how to properly care for it. Now it’s thriving. People ask me all the time what I use bc my hair health and growth is noticeable and I tell them I can tell you what I use but essentially it’s what’s you’re doing to your hair. Btw your 2014 hair length pic at 10:10 is my hair length right now. Never thought I would ever reach this length. Now I have my hair goal set at waist length. Weirdly I don’t do the hair porosity thing
I just started my natural hair Journey maybe about two and a half years ago I'm learning every day my hair now is about waistline but I'm still wanting to grow it another 4 inches and I figure it'll take me maybe about to 2 years and I am a older person so a woman so I know as you get older your hair grows slower but I've learned a lot because my head Journey started about two and a half years ago and they said it takes about five years to really grow you know a substantial amount of here and I'm saying ways lane or you know down to your tailbone and that's what I was going for down to my tailbone but it's a lot of work I don't believe in a natural hair community cuz we all don't live together I believe that we are women data trying to grow out hair and have healthy hair also so that we can keep it at the lengths that we wanted to be and keep it healthy because I've noticed around me that there are a lot of women that either you know maybe they have health challenges I don't know but I know a lot of them that I've known for a long. Of time they have had perms and a lot of dying and in a lot of damage and I don't know if they're on medication because I don't go there but a lot of them don't believe that they can grow hair so a lot of them have lox and that's okay but a lot of older women don't believe that they can grow here and I've learned I've learned and I'm so glad I learned because I'm maintaining my Lang there's a lot of women when you talk about oils and moisturizers they think it's for white people are Indian people but not for African Americans or black people they don't believe it oh that's not for me that's what Indian people and I move on you know and I do my thing but that wondering how did she get the length I get the line because I practice what I preach and I Don't Preach too much only to myself my children my girls but I want them to have healthy hair just like I took them to the dentist because I wanted them to have a healthy mouth and beautiful teeth I want them to have beautiful hair that'll last them from now until and it's very important because there's a lot of people out there that will sell sell you. Greens and Falls products so be careful know your hair
hi this was my first time watching any type of tutorial on natural hair and can i just say you are the first person who has actually given me real advice on how to transition and the fact that u really do know the struggle just makes it that much more real to me that having the hair i want is possible so thank you i so appreciate this video and you for sharing your advice it has helped me understand a lot
My hair is growing but I know I’m doing too much! I’m only 7 weeks into my natural hair journey so I’m in research mode. Literally doing something different every single day. So I think I will slow it down for longevity. I appreciate your advice and I subscribed so I look forward to learning and benefiting from your channel. Thanks for the positive encouragement. I know I stumbled upon your channel because I was meant to hear what you have to say. 😘
The early stages is the time to experiment and figure what type of products and the routine that works for you😎. Paying attention to how your hair feels and react to products and the regimen you have it in. Does your hair feel great after and for days after using a product or does it feel dry and tangled a day or so later. For the sake of your hair and purse, experiment with products that you wouldn’t have an issue buying multiple times especially when the purse strings get a bit tight! But be aware that your hair will react different with the seasons and also as it gets longer. I find spray leave-in conditioners a waste of money and you can make up your own that will be way cheaper. I didn’t realise I had all that to say 😂😂 good luck on your journey!
I am glad this video found you. :) If any questions about your hair come up feel free to browse my playlist How to Care For Your Natural Hair. If you have any video requests as a new natural feel free to DM them to me or email them to me at hello@powerinyourcurl.com Over time I would like to create videos specifically for new naturals and hearing from someone in that position would be helpful.
I used to have relaxed hair as well and I learned even then that my hair doesn't like to be manipulated too much. It grows so well when I just leave it be.
Loved your video! I’m 59 and decided (again) to take my hair journey seriously after losing about 30% of my hair. I think I fell out of love with my hair when I started turning gray (I do color it and I am relaxed). I think, or should I say I KMOW, the main issue for me was that I. Was. Not. Consistent. Now I shampoo and apply a treatment mask every Monday and if I feel I need it I’ll add a tad of jojoba oil since it closely resembles human sebum (oil). So I guess I’ll be in my mid sixties rocking my long hair when others are cutttng theirs off.
You are so right about only doing your hair when you have the patience to. I noticed that when I gave my hair the time and gently tended to 'her' she behaved. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤❤
This is so true because coconut oil and olive oil dries my hair out, I don't care what expensive or cheap brand I use......it does not work for me......castor oil does help depending on how thick it is.....also honey works for my hair
Kimberly Sloan I think coconut oil is contributing to my hair shedding so I recently stopped using it and I will wait to see if there is a difference in about 3 months or so (just a time frame I came up with).
I love how in depth and personal you go into your videos, it is more honest compared to other channels. I started my natural hair journey my last year of high school in 2012-2013. I was shocked that I saw a community of diverse colored melanin women who were growing their natural hair long and healthy. I always struggled to get passed the "shoulder length" stage. No one taught curly haired girls how to care for our hair. I did a big chop in 2017 d/t color damage (my hair was APL) and now it is at bra strap length. I need to be more gentle and mindful again - the only thing I have skipped in my hair care routine are deep conditioning treatments lol Thanks for sharing and taking the time to create your content!
Thats me, my hair is 4a & 4b, high porosity and medium density. My hair also just like to be left alone, i just do twists, twist out, high puff and braids only 3 times in the year because my edges are naturally very fine. My hair likes thick butters, heavy oil like castor oil. I have been natural for 1 year and 9 months and it took me 6 months before I understood what my hair wanted and I just stuck with it. Most importantly I let my hair be and my hair is flourishing.
I can't believe I never found you before today! There are so many ppl who I see here in this natural hair community but years are passing n their hair is still the same length
Hi 😀 new subscriber here. About a year ago I stopped following so many others regimen. All the differences you named was talking about "ME". Everyday I was watching and picking up others ideas that worked for them. Now..my hair is so beautiful at slightly passed bra length due to learning my own hair likes/dislikes.
I hear you on that one. I finally realised last year that butters (shea, mango etc) are to heavy on my strands and stop me re-moisturising my between washes. Now I use leave-in and oil or styling creme for styling. Making that change vastly improved the quality of my hair.
You are by far one of the best on RUclips👍🏽👏🏽 I love you girl 💖 Just yesterday I went through my subscription list and unfollowed so many you tubers who don’t help me. I figured that if they hadn’t met their hair goals then how could they help me🤔 I also decided to follow you tubers who have similar hair as me for inspiration😊 I’ve learned quite a few things from you and that’s why you are my favorite🤗💜
My hair is low porosity & I’m using butters mostly ☹️ idk what to use! I definitely deep condition with heat but I don’t know it’s so sad to be stuck at the same length ☹️
Jenny Bravo Stop with the butters sis! My hair has flourished since I’ve stopped. Just like she said, those buttes stop you from receiving moisture-which is the key to retaining length anyway!
Im at armpit length at the moment. Use black seed oil hemp oil and a little bit of jbco mix it together and use it to seal in your leave ins. Find a protective style that suits you whether its wigs braids or twists. Trim the bad ends holding onto bad ends stunts growth. Aim to deep condition every week or every two weeks. Try shea moisture Manuka honey mask. Dont touch your hair unless you need to moisturise restyle or wash it. Try bentonite clay and acv as a mask it helps to open up the cuticles and allows more moisture to come in. It also cleans the hair without it being dry and defines curls. Never used chebe clay before but I heard its good you can give ti a try and see how it goes.
Hemp oil is the truth ! And I don’t understand why it is such an underrated oil. Otherwise, when deep conditioning, put a shower cap on so the moisture can penetrate better in your hair. When you want to put products in it, or you wet your hair with warm water or you heat your products ( not in plastic ) and put it in your hair. Also don’t forget to do the “ pray hands “ method because it will help the products to penetrate your hair because if you only throw it in your hair, it won’t fully go in it. Also sleeping with a satin scarf / bonnet / pillow will help. If you do this and what the others advised you to do, you’ll have significant changes. And also be patient because the changes won’t be noticeable on the length in a first hand
This is a great and informative info. I just started learning about my hair and all it needs to flourish is simply oil and water. The same ingredients my mom used when I was a child. I have the same hair texture and issues like your as well
Speaking positive has a lot to do with everything you do and live. You are speaking the WORD Blessed One. This was most truest encouraging information about natural hair on RUclips. Keep up the great work! I will be checking out you other videos because you have answered my questions about why I'm not maintaining my growth. Again, thank you so much for this information. Your channel have been added fo sho! 3John2
Love you! This helped me so much!! I’m from Finlanand but i’m half of Israel (sorry i have veru bad english) but like nobody have curly hair in here and this really help!!
PowerInYourCurl thank you!! I’m twelwe and i really don’t know what i do to my hair and your videos help me sooo much!!! Always when i style my hair, i watch your videos and relax!!!
Everybody hair grows. Unfortunately the retention method is the issue for most. Most naturals in my community don't have a regiment. Don't know their porosity or hair type. Don't understand single strand knots. Don't do the loc method at least twice a week. Don't stretch every day. Stretching my twists on wash day is how I got to waist length. I don't use heat unless I'm deep conditioning under the bonnet.
Kendall Sawyer No, many of us wore 'groomed' afros / naturals, afro puffs(females wore them , not the males) and corn rows or french braids. Many began getting perms, and still getting press and curls. It was not like the natural hair styles of today, not the depth of natural hair care. I loved this information, and I am now a subscriber. Thank you. Be Blessed. 🙏❤
alright (virtual fist bump) Thanx for the uplift!!! Let me tell you I wanted long hair since i was SIX YRS OLD. lol Recently I have been in my own hair journey, I have found out that my hair is low porosity. Game changer I did dc with heat. and eventually started moisturizing with h2o, and oils (avocado, joba, olive(ride or die) mango butter( I know its thick but it works 4 me). The alternating hairstyles for me is flexirod( airdry most ) and Flatwrap. btw Im relaxed . thx for the share
New Subbie here! I truly enjoyed your video! I'm still learning my hair after being natural for many years and having several setbacks. I'm finally starting to pay attention to what my hair needs. Hair porosity is so important and I believe not understanding my hair's porosity was a major reason I struggled. So, that is my focus now. Also, I was probably a little too rough when I handled my hair. You definitely have to speak life over yourself.....words have power. I am speaking it into existence now! I am living in abundance in all aspects of my life! My hair will be healthy and long!
Hi.. First time here find u interesting.. Yes I hv low porosity. Stuck at 11 inches at back... Loved the pics from Namibia. I found natural hair really really the hardest thing I've ever done. So hard to grow - didn't expect this fight! The wet look perm in the 80s was a dream!. And I got long hair then ! My hair is so fine. Lp, so so dry. Will be investigating your other videos!!
Wow this video is what I needed to see and hear at this time in my natural hair journey. I feel absolutely clueless in what to do and it always seems soooo dry 🤷🏽♀️ but I’m in love with my curls when wet or have product on it. I’m going to tune in to your hair boot camp video.
I’ve been very discouraged for the past few years over how my hair is doing. Your video is very informative and interesting. I’m born and raised in Sweden and there’s never been hair salons specifically for girls with kinky/coily hair (4c) like mine, don’t get me wrong we have the typical hairstylist and hair dressers but no one who has the knowledge of how to keep and take care of your own hair in the typical African salons. I wish we could have the same knowledgeable and professional hair specialists in Sweden as you Americans have as well. I’ve been taking care of my own hair for years now but it’s reached a plateau stage that I have no idea how to get past armpit length, i washed my hair today and so many little hairs where falling out of my hair as well as long strands. I do keep my hair in protective styles such as wigs,weaves and box braids and wash it 1-2 a week and deep condition when I got box braids or a wig in, but I’ve run out of ideas?
Linda Butandu protein treatment, that’s why u need ( make sure to know about your porosity to know what products your hair likes). I don’t really consider wigs and weaves as protective styles because it damages the edges, let your hair breathe
I heard terminal length was a thing is this true? I always hear that from other youtubers but u said no matter our hair identity we could grow long hair
Hey! Thank you for asking this question, it's a really good one. :) Terminal length is a concept you can decide for yourself to believe in. For me personally, I don't put limits on anything. I have seen my hair grow longer than I ever thought possible and I have seen the hair of women all over the world no matter what their skin color or curl pattern grow past tailbone length, to their knees, to the floor and some women have hair that trails behind them as they walk. I believe that if you are healthy and your hair is at optimum health it will continue to retain length and become longer. As Divine Energy, anything that I truly desire to have is possible for me. No matter what the odds or what the physical world says. Words and thoughts are powerful and I truly believe that what you believe is possible for you is what you will live; and that can work to your advantage or your detriment depending on the quality of your thoughts. As far as what science says about hair growth, most sources think that the hair growth cycle for the average human is 5-7 years. Now if hair grows an average of 6 inches a year, that means that the average human can attain a minimum of about 30 inches of hair. Which is still pretty long for most people! I am not an average person though and neither are you, we are Divine and powerful. Also, there are a lot of things that science says that simply isn't true and you have to be very intentional about what you choose to believe and not just accept something as truth because an "authority" said it was so. At the end of the day, it's up to you. ❤️
Oh wow what you said about first head generations with curly hair and our mothers and aunties not knowing really resonated. This was so well explained thank you so much. Starting my second natural hair journey and definitely being more intentional about it. I did reach mid/lower back length and now back to bra strap length but I needed this haircut so it's all good. So much more volume now too :) I also have fine strands and medium density :)
My hair has always grown 1 inch per month. I cut 1 foot off every year. My HUGE problem is that the middle is kinkier than the sides so i look like a mushroom. Coiled, shorter hair in the back and long straight hair on top and sides. I want it to grow or look even. I wear a bun or ponytail most of the time. Could that be the problem? I don't like any hair on my face. I'm also DESPERATELY searching for natural, clean makeup. No chemicals. Any suggestions on either of these 2 issues?
I'm moved to a totally different climate and had to revamp my whole regimen. My hair was so dry, damaged and nothing, no product I use worked. First, I had to change my water by adding the filter. I had spent so much money on products, I decided to change from products to diys. (except as I am deep mask, leave in conditioner) Even with those changes, it took me months to figure out what was going to work with my hair. All the while my hair was breaking off, I think I lost about 3" but one day I figured it out. Go figure my hair loves coconut oil now. I made some Cocoa butter body cream and on a whim I put it on my hair as a sealant and my hair loves it too. I started stretching my hair by blowdrying it weekly (a natural hair no no, but works wonders for my hair) on low with the revair now my hair is so moisturized, soft and growing like a dang weed. (Revair is the truth, dry leaving hair so moisturized and my curls bounce back weekly with no problem) Who knew, trial and error. I only wish I didn't have I closet full of half used products smh.
Who the 9 people who didn't like this video. Shame! This Video is priceless and Everyone needs this and I mean Everyone. Black, Brown, Yellow, White, Female, Male and anyone else I wasn't able to mention. Get in to it!
And as well I have natural hair I have stopped dying my hair I do nothing to my hair but wishing condition it and put nutrients in it I've been natural 4 15 years or more and the growth happens when it happens I would like for it to be more constant please give me your experiences appreciate it peace
Idk why more people are not watching your videos! Ive seen so many 'curly hair speakers' but your by far the best. Speaking a lot of TRUTH many don't even touch upon, for life as well!
I'm exited to join your course^^

No one actually knows
I took cosmetology in high school, so you are correct. They had 1little section for black hair, and it was on relaxers🙄. They NEVER taught us how to take care of black hair.
Tena Defiant same sis, currently there and definitely agree, it suck that to l arm about natural hair you still have to go outside for knowledge
Tena Defiant oh wow
Wow seriously this has to change my goodness
What year did you take cosmetology? I ask because, up until about 5-10yrs ago the majority of black women were only interested in straight hair. For a lot of women, wearing out their natural hair simply wasn't an option (until of course we changed our mindsets in recent years).
So I think that's why your cosmetology classes only taught about relaxed hair.
If however your classes were more recent, then yeah, I agree with the other comments, it's time they changed their curriculum to include natural hair types.
I hate that this is a reality :(
Say in the mirror "I WILL HAVE LONG HAIR TO MY BOOTIE" ;-)
Why
We need a skin care routine, the glow is radiating from my phone screen.
I wany to revamp cosmetology school so we can learn curly bair types properly. And the kits should match. Natural Hair courses should be more than 300+ hours and deal with more than braiding and weaving.
supercakes09 I think you should do that, that’s actually a great idea
It's going to take work and even if it's not me, I at least want to ignite the spark.
@@supercakes09 How precisely will you do so?
@@nverted-dynamo it's going to be a process but hopefully it can come to fruition. #NoSeedsOfDoubtPlantedInThisSoil
So much knowledge and positivity as always!!! 🌸💕
Thank you Viv! I hope you are having a beautiful day 😌
Wish you could go on national television and say this. People would always think my mix heritage is why my hair is long. Black people can have/do have long beautiful hair. We were never taught how to keep it growing. Chemicals don't help and when I learned my prorosity, it changed my life. Thanks for this video so I can send people here.
God knows how many hairs on your head. All hair is good hair. my God made you fearfully and wonderfully. Sisters, don’t compare. You unique. Stay woke.
Tips start 7:15
Lord have mercy, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been natural for 2.5 years and have been at shoulder length the entire time. I was starting to think it was because I have 4b/4c hair, but it’s because it’s been experiencing breakage this entire time! Last year, I always wore my hair out during the day and did braid outs every single night. I’ve started to deep condition every week, cut off the brittle ends I’ve been hanging on to, using the LCO method while putting my hair in twists, and wearing wigs. I suffer from drier hair as well so I moisturize my twists every other day. I’ve only just started doing this about a month ago, but I’m already feeling like my hair is doing SO much better!
Beautiful 💛 I’ve always been natural. My mom went to hair school when I was coming up and thank god I only had one relaxer. But she would straighten my hair every two weeks and it was so thin. My senior year in high school I decided to go natural but never really learned how to take care of my hair from now on I’m 100% dedicated.
I am so with you on this video! My hair doesn't like to be styled either but I never thought about it that way until you just said it. You just helped me to be okay with having only one or two hairstyles that work for me. Thanks!
There are a lot of hair stylists that don’t know how to do curly hair!!
Patricia Strothers Do you know any chain salons that are good with natural hair in the US? (Ex: DevaCurl)
Oh, Yes!! Don't get me started on this. How can we change it?
@@memekendall3197 We can't change it unless you do your own hair yourself but unless you use people around the same hair type as you to do it
@@katnisseverdeen4021 I hear you, however I Refuse to believe We can Not do anything about it. If you are working with hair and especially being paid then you Need to know how to do curly hair. At least the basics. I'm speaking about combing, washing , very simple. Still have had "hairdressers" complaining that they couldn't do mix hair, black hair. Shame on all of them.
@@memekendall3197 Yeah I had one good lady do my hair in twists, braids sometimes flat ironed but nobody I know does natural hair only weaves and perms. My mom can do it though.
You made major points that aren’t spoken on often. This was 🔥🔥 thanks so much!
Thank u for these tips they really have helped.me i have fine low porersity as well thats stays dry alot i cant wait to implement these grear tips .😌
It’s so sad a lot of ethnic/black people didn’t even know the true texture of our hair at all, when I was younger I thought my hair type was straight 😒 I’ve been natural for 15+years and I love my beautiful 3b/3c curls 😊
Natural hair can be straight...it doesn't necessarily mean curly hair. However, I appreciate your thoughts and I too didn't know I had naturally curly hair until I was in my 40s.
I thought that too! Now I'm supper happy and comfortable with my 4a/4b hair 😊
@@ilaisicxza5266 I was simply making a distinction btwn natural hair and curly hair. They are not the same. Nor do black women own the term "natural hair".
@@ilaisicxza5266 ....so my point was that even if her hair was naturaly straight it would have been considered "natural" just the same as we curly girls refer to it.
@@ilaisicxza5266 aaaand...many ppl have naturally straight hair. What planet are you from?
My hair went down to my back from using bottles of scurl activator to the point it stayed moist 24/7. Now It never goes past my shoulder. Time to learn 🥰
Possitive thinking definitely works. And consistency.
One thing that I learned from this video is that I need to keep a hair journal. I feel like I have truly learned my hair within the last few years but I have a hard time remembering what products I loved.
This video is so encouraging! So much more than about hair care. I’ve been natural for 9years and had several periods of extreme breakage. Thank you for the beautiful examples and encouragement. Be blessed sis!
I agree 100%. I was doing so well when I first started, figuring out what worked for me and what didn't (no coconut oil for me)! Then I got depressed; really depressed for years. And everything reversed. My hair matted and broke off to the point where I am back to where I started when I first cut everything off. But I know where my hair can go. It might be super coiled and look short, but length-wise it was past shoulder length. And it will be again. You seem so sweet and caring. Great video.
I’m sooo grateful I found your channel! I was just about to go out and buy lots of products that I did not need. This video brought tears to my eyes - thank you from the depth of my soul your service!!
Glad she helped you. That is awesome .
I had a dream my hair was exactly like yours, then I woke up :( Your hair is so beautiful!
Kenya, the last few minutes of your video really touched me . Thank you for being so genuine , 💖💗💕
Wow, I really needed this! Not even just for info on proper hair care but for my emotional and mental health as well. I did not realize how stigmatizing i was towards my own hair texture. I am so insecure about my natural hair. I thought that i could never grow long hair because i have never seen it around me or if i did, it's because they were mixed. I am tired of wishing that i was someone else or a different ethnicity because of my hair texture. I realized that i treated my hair the exact same way i thought about my hair; but it is all lies. 2022 this will be a goal of mine! Healthy and flourishing hair !! Thank god i stumbled across this video! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
21:50 is what God wanted me to hear. You are just so complete, thorough, well spoken and clear in your explanations. You are also on the money sis, and I think my hair is like yours. Thanks so much. I'm inspired! God bless you sis.
Such great calming advice....I agree 💯%🤗
My hair seems to grow the best in braids, with extensions. I am transitioning. I used Keratin, stopped relaxer. I try to keep it in a bun and I do my own braids with extensions. I moisturize the hair, usually braid it up after washing/conditioning. I use heavier oils like pink lusters castor oil, water, leave in condition usually a conditioner or shea moisture jamaican black castor oil.
Giggles mine to. If I’m not messing with it it grows like crazy
@@jekessajohnson9673 Yes, it helps a lot. I love braids too because you can manipulate them without worrying about breakage to your hair. Do you use different oils? I'm also trying the Jamaican black castor oil from the Mango and Lime line with vitamins A, D, E. Smells amazing. It is very thick too. jamaicanmangolime.com/848/shop/jamaican-black-castor-oil/jamaican-black-castor-oil-vitamins-a-d-e/
I'm from Namibia😄😄you pronounced it correct💪💪
Good, whew!! I was hoping I did, lol. Thank you for letting me know ❤️❤️
This is truly a blessing for all women! Women who are transitioning to natural hair this info is truly a Godsend! But let me say this in all honesty, I am a 9 year breast cancer survivor and my change to natural hair has been successful , please ladies let’s give more attention to our inner beauty rather than outer, because that’s what really matters in the end I mean really!!! Yes! Look beautiful, take care of your hair, nails, weight, all that good stuff, but you had better check your insides, your character. Charm is deceitful, beauty is VAIN, but a woman who fears the Lord, shall be praised!!!! Proverbs 31:30
I was just as surprised when i heard her pronouncing it correctly👏
Many fail to realize that protein is vital for curly hair. My hair is 4c (high porosity) and I’m very careful with products that contain alcohol. I make my own shampoo using raw aloe vera, water, and coconut oil. All that is mixed in a blender and tada! natural home made shampoo. Trust me, it lathers like wow. I use hemp and baoboa conditioner after. I wash my hair every other day. Also food intake plays a vital role as well. I’ve been all natural for 2 years now. No heat/chemicals.
I use to wash my hair every day but I switched it up to every other. It has gotten so thick and more work 😬🙋🏻😁
Sending you all lots of positive vibes 😉
Where to get the conditioner?
MRS J It’s from Shea Moisture (Mongongo Hemp Seed) blue container. You can purchase it from either Sally’s Beauty Supply, Walgreens, CVS, Target, or Walmart for $12.99-13.99 the most. Noticed I stated on my comment I’m very careful with products that contain alcohol. When you do decide to purchase the conditioner I mentioned, don’t be alarmed by the Cetearyl, Stearyl, Cetyl Alcohol. Those are good fatty alcohols derived from vegetables (fats). Commonly used to emulsify hair products, cosmetics, etc. The ones you would want to avoid are Ethanol, Isopropyl, Methanol, and Denat Alcohol. But those are mostly found in skincare but I’ve also seen them in hair care products as well. Those alcohol are drying. 🙋🏻
I felt you when you said you have to know your hair. It’s so true. My hair didn’t “grow” until I knew how to properly care for it. Now it’s thriving. People ask me all the time what I use bc my hair health and growth is noticeable and I tell them I can tell you what I use but essentially it’s what’s you’re doing to your hair. Btw your 2014 hair length pic at 10:10 is my hair length right now. Never thought I would ever reach this length. Now I have my hair goal set at waist length. Weirdly I don’t do the hair porosity thing
I just started my natural hair Journey maybe about two and a half years ago I'm learning every day my hair now is about waistline but I'm still wanting to grow it another 4 inches and I figure it'll take me maybe about to 2 years and I am a older person so a woman so I know as you get older your hair grows slower but I've learned a lot because my head Journey started about two and a half years ago and they said it takes about five years to really grow you know a substantial amount of here and I'm saying ways lane or you know down to your tailbone and that's what I was going for down to my tailbone but it's a lot of work I don't believe in a natural hair community cuz we all don't live together I believe that we are women data trying to grow out hair and have healthy hair also so that we can keep it at the lengths that we wanted to be and keep it healthy because I've noticed around me that there are a lot of women that either you know maybe they have health challenges I don't know but I know a lot of them that I've known for a long. Of time they have had perms and a lot of dying and in a lot of damage and I don't know if they're on medication because I don't go there but a lot of them don't believe that they can grow hair so a lot of them have lox and that's okay but a lot of older women don't believe that they can grow here and I've learned I've learned and I'm so glad I learned because I'm maintaining my Lang there's a lot of women when you talk about oils and moisturizers they think it's for white people are Indian people but not for African Americans or black people they don't believe it oh that's not for me that's what Indian people and I move on you know and I do my thing but that wondering how did she get the length I get the line because I practice what I preach and I Don't Preach too much only to myself my children my girls but I want them to have healthy hair just like I took them to the dentist because I wanted them to have a healthy mouth and beautiful teeth I want them to have beautiful hair that'll last them from now until and it's very important because there's a lot of people out there that will sell sell you. Greens and Falls products so be careful know your hair
Enjoy the video
You’re beautiful! Gorgeous hair and your skin is flawless 👑. New subbie!
Lawdddd you were sent from heaven the hair angle thank you
I hear and receive your message curlfriend! I love my hair too.
This video was very informative and helpful. I needed this!
hi this was my first time watching any type of tutorial on natural hair and can i just say you are the first person who has actually given me real advice on how to transition and the fact that u really do know the struggle just makes it that much more real to me that having the hair i want is possible so thank you i so appreciate this video and you for sharing your advice it has helped me understand a lot
My hair is growing but I know I’m doing too much! I’m only 7 weeks into my natural hair journey so I’m in research mode. Literally doing something different every single day. So I think I will slow it down for longevity. I appreciate your advice and I subscribed so I look forward to learning and benefiting from your channel. Thanks for the positive encouragement. I know I stumbled upon your channel because I was meant to hear what you have to say. 😘
The early stages is the time to experiment and figure what type of products and the routine that works for you😎. Paying attention to how your hair feels and react to products and the regimen you have it in. Does your hair feel great after and for days after using a product or does it feel dry and tangled a day or so later. For the sake of your hair and purse, experiment with products that you wouldn’t have an issue buying multiple times especially when the purse strings get a bit tight! But be aware that your hair will react different with the seasons and also as it gets longer. I find spray leave-in conditioners a waste of money and you can make up your own that will be way cheaper. I didn’t realise I had all that to say 😂😂 good luck on your journey!
I am glad this video found you. :) If any questions about your hair come up feel free to browse my playlist How to Care For Your Natural Hair. If you have any video requests as a new natural feel free to DM them to me or email them to me at hello@powerinyourcurl.com Over time I would like to create videos specifically for new naturals and hearing from someone in that position would be helpful.
@@PowerInYourCurl What do you recommend for people who have alopecia.. ..
I used to have relaxed hair as well and I learned even then that my hair doesn't like to be manipulated too much. It grows so well when I just leave it be.
Loved your video! I’m 59 and decided (again) to take my hair journey seriously after losing about 30% of my hair. I think I fell out of love with my hair when I started turning gray (I do color it and I am relaxed). I think, or should I say I KMOW, the main issue for me was that I. Was. Not. Consistent. Now I shampoo and apply a treatment mask every Monday and if I feel I need it I’ll add a tad of jojoba oil since it closely resembles human sebum (oil). So I guess I’ll be in my mid sixties rocking my long hair when others are cutttng theirs off.
PS I lost my hair while I was natural, not while relaxed. I used to use a lot of gel to slick back into my trademark pony tail. Try combing that...
Visit jjmua's channel for inspiration. You will truly be inspired.
You are so right about only doing your hair when you have the patience to. I noticed that when I gave my hair the time and gently tended to 'her' she behaved. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤❤
You are so right!! Your thoughts become your reality!! Great video!
This is the best video I've seen so far on this topic, in my opinion of course. ✨🌼
Your hair is WOW!!!!!
New subbie! Love your vibe. Thanks for encouraging and uplifting. Love and light to you...
Love your sweet spirit and knowledge!! May God Continue To Bless You and Everyone!! Much Love!! May Our Roots Grow Grow Grow!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love your twist of promoting hair growth by using manifestation and affirmations!
This is so true because coconut oil and olive oil dries my hair out, I don't care what expensive or cheap brand I use......it does not work for me......castor oil does help depending on how thick it is.....also honey works for my hair
Kimberly Sloan I think coconut oil is contributing to my hair shedding so I recently stopped using it and I will wait to see if there is a difference in about 3 months or so (just a time frame I came up with).
My hair is to my neck tomorrow I’m starting my hair journey tysm ❤️❤️ ily ❤️❤️
I’m that type of person...... I DO NOT LET EVERYBODY IN MY HAIR! When it comes down to my curls!
What true a blessing you are. Thank you so much for Sharing this wonderful information.
I love how in depth and personal you go into your videos, it is more honest compared to other channels. I started my natural hair journey my last year of high school in 2012-2013. I was shocked that I saw a community of diverse colored melanin women who were growing their natural hair long and healthy. I always struggled to get passed the "shoulder length" stage. No one taught curly haired girls how to care for our hair. I did a big chop in 2017 d/t color damage (my hair was APL) and now it is at bra strap length. I need to be more gentle and mindful again - the only thing I have skipped in my hair care routine are deep conditioning treatments lol Thanks for sharing and taking the time to create your content!
Thats me, my hair is 4a & 4b, high porosity and medium density. My hair also just like to be left alone, i just do twists, twist out, high puff and braids only 3 times in the year because my edges are naturally very fine. My hair likes thick butters, heavy oil like castor oil. I have been natural for 1 year and 9 months and it took me 6 months before I understood what my hair wanted and I just stuck with it. Most importantly I let my hair be and my hair is flourishing.
Yeah you’re right. Intuition very important to listen to your body.
I can't believe I never found you before today! There are so many ppl who I see here in this natural hair community but years are passing n their hair is still the same length
Hi 😀 new subscriber here. About a year ago I stopped following so many others regimen. All the differences you named was talking about "ME". Everyday I was watching and picking up others ideas that worked for them. Now..my hair is so beautiful at slightly passed bra length due to learning my own hair likes/dislikes.
I hear you on that one. I finally realised last year that butters (shea, mango etc) are to heavy on my strands and stop me re-moisturising my between washes. Now I use leave-in and oil or styling creme for styling. Making that change vastly improved the quality of my hair.
Awww I'm so happy for you! Trusting yourself and listening to your hair really does make a world of difference. That's a major accomplishment ❤️
Your name is literally the country I'm from. Kenya. You should visit sometime lol.. How cool would that be
OMG i never seen your hairdo before with natural hair that long!! very unique and beautiful lady!!!!
I have long, beautiful, strong💪🏿💪🏿healthy hair. I love my hair texture & I know how to care for my hair. Thk u🤷🏿♀️🙏🏿🧡
My whole family and I have always had long and thick hair, when your hair is in it natural state it grow extremely fast
This was such a great video! I feel like my hair is a similar identity and now I need to re-evaluate my hair process
Amazing video and content. Well said/spoken. Thank you!
I stared my long hair journy today looking forward to follow your channel♥️🌹
You are by far one of the best on RUclips👍🏽👏🏽 I love you girl 💖 Just yesterday I went through my subscription list and unfollowed so many you tubers who don’t help me. I figured that if they hadn’t met their hair goals then how could they help me🤔 I also decided to follow you tubers who have similar hair as me for inspiration😊 I’ve learned quite a few things from you and that’s why you are my favorite🤗💜
My hair is low porosity & I’m using butters mostly ☹️ idk what to use! I definitely deep condition with heat but I don’t know it’s so sad to be stuck at the same length ☹️
Jenny Bravo Stop with the butters sis! My hair has flourished since I’ve stopped. Just like she said, those buttes stop you from receiving moisture-which is the key to retaining length anyway!
Im at armpit length at the moment. Use black seed oil hemp oil and a little bit of jbco mix it together and use it to seal in your leave ins. Find a protective style that suits you whether its wigs braids or twists. Trim the bad ends holding onto bad ends stunts growth. Aim to deep condition every week or every two weeks. Try shea moisture Manuka honey mask. Dont touch your hair unless you need to moisturise restyle or wash it. Try bentonite clay and acv as a mask it helps to open up the cuticles and allows more moisture to come in. It also cleans the hair without it being dry and defines curls. Never used chebe clay before but I heard its good you can give ti a try and see how it goes.
Hemp oil is the truth ! And I don’t understand why it is such an underrated oil. Otherwise, when deep conditioning, put a shower cap on so the moisture can penetrate better in your hair. When you want to put products in it, or you wet your hair with warm water or you heat your products ( not in plastic ) and put it in your hair. Also don’t forget to do the “ pray hands “ method because it will help the products to penetrate your hair because if you only throw it in your hair, it won’t fully go in it. Also sleeping with a satin scarf / bonnet / pillow will help. If you do this and what the others advised you to do, you’ll have significant changes. And also be patient because the changes won’t be noticeable on the length in a first hand
Thank you for sharing your hair growth!
This is a great and informative info. I just started learning about my hair and all it needs to flourish is simply oil and water. The same ingredients my mom used when I was a child. I have the same hair texture and issues like your as well
Nadia D water and raw oils don’t mix so be careful with putting oils on your hair. The best products to use are water-based ones.
Speaking positive has a lot to do with everything you do and live. You are speaking the WORD Blessed One. This was most truest encouraging information about natural hair on RUclips. Keep up the great work! I will be checking out you other videos because you have answered my questions about why I'm not maintaining my growth. Again, thank you so much for this information. Your channel have been added fo sho! 3John2
Love you! This helped me so much!! I’m from Finlanand but i’m half of Israel (sorry i have veru bad english) but like nobody have curly hair in here and this really help!!
Your English is wonderful! ❤️I am so glad this video was helpful for you Eden.
PowerInYourCurl thank you!! I’m twelwe and i really don’t know what i do to my hair and your videos help me sooo much!!! Always when i style my hair, i watch your videos and relax!!!
Everybody hair grows. Unfortunately the retention method is the issue for most. Most naturals in my community don't have a regiment. Don't know their porosity or hair type. Don't understand single strand knots. Don't do the loc method at least twice a week. Don't stretch every day. Stretching my twists on wash day is how I got to waist length. I don't use heat unless I'm deep conditioning under the bonnet.
Loooove this video! Such in-depth information and delivered on a level to truly help. Listening, learning and implementing.
TFS!
You are so welcome!
How you act towards your hair ... great point!
Thank you for featuring my tribe in your Video girl...
Hey Kenya, so appreciate this video. I’m looking forward learning from you. Thanks sooooo much.
You are so welcome Lizzie!
In beauty school, my “curly” hair mannequin was like a 2c-3a 😑
I mean alot of our parents do know about natural hair b/c a lot of thm were natural in the 70's
Kendall Sawyer No, many of us wore 'groomed' afros / naturals, afro puffs(females wore them , not the males) and corn rows or french braids. Many began getting perms, and still getting press and curls. It was not like the natural hair styles of today, not the depth of natural hair care. I loved this information, and I am now a subscriber. Thank you. Be Blessed. 🙏❤
alright (virtual fist bump) Thanx for the uplift!!! Let me tell you I wanted long hair since i was SIX YRS OLD. lol Recently I have been in my own hair journey, I have found out that my hair is low porosity. Game changer I did dc with heat. and eventually started moisturizing with h2o, and oils (avocado, joba, olive(ride or die) mango butter( I know its thick but it works 4 me).
The alternating hairstyles for me is flexirod( airdry most ) and Flatwrap. btw Im relaxed . thx for the share
Thank you I love to look at your videos. Keep up the good work. Love you
You really have great advice! I would love to try this in the future sometime
New Subbie here! I truly enjoyed your video! I'm still learning my hair after being natural for many years and having several setbacks. I'm finally starting to pay attention to what my hair needs.
Hair porosity is so important and I believe not understanding my hair's porosity was a major reason I struggled. So, that is my focus now. Also, I was probably a little too rough when I handled my hair.
You definitely have to speak life over yourself.....words have power.
I am speaking it into existence now! I am living in abundance in all aspects of my life! My hair will be healthy and long!
Hi.. First time here find u interesting.. Yes I hv low porosity. Stuck at 11 inches at back... Loved the pics from Namibia. I found natural hair really really the hardest thing I've ever done. So hard to grow - didn't expect this fight! The wet look perm in the 80s was a dream!. And I got long hair then ! My hair is so fine. Lp, so so dry. Will be investigating your other videos!!
So much positivity an truth tumbs up
Great video. One of the best of this type I’ve ever listened to. New subscriber. 👌🏾
Wow this video is what I needed to see and hear at this time in my natural hair journey. I feel absolutely clueless in what to do and it always seems soooo dry 🤷🏽♀️ but I’m in love with my curls when wet or have product on it. I’m going to tune in to your hair boot camp video.
This vid deserves more views. So informative 😁
Thank you for all of this eye opening informations
I love this video and you hit it on the head with everything you said!!!
I’ve been very discouraged for the past few years over how my hair is doing. Your video is very informative and interesting. I’m born and raised in Sweden and there’s never been hair salons specifically for girls with kinky/coily hair (4c) like mine, don’t get me wrong we have the typical hairstylist and hair dressers but no one who has the knowledge of how to keep and take care of your own hair in the typical African salons. I wish we could have the same knowledgeable and professional hair specialists in Sweden as you Americans have as well. I’ve been taking care of my own hair for years now but it’s reached a plateau stage that I have no idea how to get past armpit length, i washed my hair today and so many little hairs where falling out of my hair as well as long strands. I do keep my hair in protective styles such as wigs,weaves and box braids and wash it 1-2 a week and deep condition when I got box braids or a wig in, but I’ve run out of ideas?
Linda Butandu protein treatment, that’s why u need ( make sure to know about your porosity to know what products your hair likes). I don’t really consider wigs and weaves as protective styles because it damages the edges, let your hair breathe
I heard terminal length was a thing is this true? I always hear that from other youtubers but u said no matter our hair identity we could grow long hair
Hey! Thank you for asking this question, it's a really good one. :) Terminal length is a concept you can decide for yourself to believe in. For me personally, I don't put limits on anything. I have seen my hair grow longer than I ever thought possible and I have seen the hair of women all over the world no matter what their skin color or curl pattern grow past tailbone length, to their knees, to the floor and some women have hair that trails behind them as they walk. I believe that if you are healthy and your hair is at optimum health it will continue to retain length and become longer. As Divine Energy, anything that I truly desire to have is possible for me. No matter what the odds or what the physical world says. Words and thoughts are powerful and I truly believe that what you believe is possible for you is what you will live; and that can work to your advantage or your detriment depending on the quality of your thoughts.
As far as what science says about hair growth, most sources think that the hair growth cycle for the average human is 5-7 years. Now if hair grows an average of 6 inches a year, that means that the average human can attain a minimum of about 30 inches of hair. Which is still pretty long for most people! I am not an average person though and neither are you, we are Divine and powerful. Also, there are a lot of things that science says that simply isn't true and you have to be very intentional about what you choose to believe and not just accept something as truth because an "authority" said it was so.
At the end of the day, it's up to you. ❤️
Very great advice ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow what you said about first head generations with curly hair and our mothers and aunties not knowing really resonated. This was so well explained thank you so much. Starting my second natural hair journey and definitely being more intentional about it. I did reach mid/lower back length and now back to bra strap length but I needed this haircut so it's all good. So much more volume now too :) I also have fine strands and medium density :)
You are very inspirational ! I am looking forward to growing my natural hair with your advice along with my hairstylist! I
Such an amazing and informative video. Thank you so much . Peace, light and infinite blessings to you.
Very helpful tips. Thank you!
My hair has always grown 1 inch per month. I cut 1 foot off every year. My HUGE problem is that the middle is kinkier than the sides so i look like a mushroom. Coiled, shorter hair in the back and long straight hair on top and sides. I want it to grow or look even. I wear a bun or ponytail most of the time. Could that be the problem? I don't like any hair on my face. I'm also DESPERATELY searching for natural, clean makeup. No chemicals. Any suggestions on either of these 2 issues?
Great videos with simple explanations!!!👍🏾
I'm moved to a totally different climate and had to revamp my whole regimen. My hair was so dry, damaged and nothing, no product I use worked. First, I had to change my water by adding the filter. I had spent so much money on products, I decided to change from products to diys. (except as I am deep mask, leave in conditioner) Even with those changes, it took me months to figure out what was going to work with my hair. All the while my hair was breaking off, I think I lost about 3" but one day I figured it out. Go figure my hair loves coconut oil now. I made some Cocoa butter body cream and on a whim I put it on my hair as a sealant and my hair loves it too. I started stretching my hair by blowdrying it weekly (a natural hair no no, but works wonders for my hair) on low with the revair now my hair is so moisturized, soft and growing like a dang weed. (Revair is the truth, dry leaving hair so moisturized and my curls bounce back weekly with no problem) Who knew, trial and error. I only wish I didn't have I closet full of half used products smh.
Yes love! The power of the tongue
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Who the 9 people who didn't like this video. Shame! This Video is priceless and Everyone needs this and I mean Everyone. Black, Brown, Yellow, White, Female, Male and anyone else I wasn't able to mention. Get in to it!
