A lot of people think that it takes so much effort or more time to take care of or “glam” your natural hair but in reality this society has told us this because it compares our hair to eurocentric hair and hairstyles. Our hair is different from theirs, that’s it. It takes people(any race) more time and effort when they try to manipulate their hair for whatever reason. If the roles were reversed and a white person wanted to make their hair into an Afro they would be saying it takes them so long and so much effort to do that. It’s all about perspective .
Melanin Talks def. some people just don’t know how to take care of their natural hair and never have. Have never known how to manipulate it, so to make it manageable and easier, they straighten it all the time. Which kind of defeats the purpose. But I get it tho. It can be time consuming and is definitely a commitment, but it’s worth it, for me.
Everyone is entitled to rock their how they wish to, the truth is natural hair is a lot of work everyone have and opinion and something to say on such a small unimportant thing if you hAppy abd feeling cOnfident that's all that matters
Yeah but it's not just about her hair being natural it's about it being fine. Not everyone is blessed to have thick manageable hair (yes natural hair comes in thick and manageable varieties). Fine and soft type 4 hair tangles more and is harder to keep from frizzing than other types of natural hair. Even an afro wouldn't be right on Jayla because her hair is fine, it would look weird. I also have fine hair so I get where she's coming from.
Shoot, if y'all want to see an example of someone looking GLAMOROUS with NATURAL HAIR/A NATURAL HAIR TEXTURE, look no further than the 20:24 mark in the video. That young lady looks AMAZING!
Morgan looked so beautiful. Loved her braids and the girl sitting next to her with the natural was beautiful as well. I’m all for weaves and wigs I wear them off/on but now everybody is starting to look alike with them so I prefer to stand out with my natural hair and be different. I recently cut all my natural hair off from shoulder length to a complete bald fade and I love it. Very few women are confident to do it. I just don’t really care for the attachment to wigs and weaves all the time. However, they are great accessory pieces and I completely agree with Devante
I disagree with the natural hair comments. You can look a glam with your natural hair. It just takes more time, patience and skill. Great vlog though. I love Beauty and Essex! You guys looked amazing!!
I agree. I have seen some women rocking natural styles looking glam and sophisticated. It is all about learning how to style and care for your natural hair. I feel like it is okay to rock your natural hair one day, then rock braids, then wig, then weave. Do what makes you happy. Switch it up and have fun.
Totally agree. I'm 10 years natural and almost at waist length after a few hair cuts along the way😄 it definitely takes time, loads of patience and self education on how to best care for your natural hair. Investing the time pays off. Embracing your texture/new look is the biggest mental challenge.
Tammy S she said it all, natural hair is not glamorous or presentable. If you know how to rock it, it can be glamorous and presentable. She sounds ignorant af.
Okay so, I loveeee my natural hair. I feel like there is no hair out there that is better than what God gave me. However, I just bought my first wig and girlllll I love it! I’m a natural that does the most with my hair in terms of maintenance and sometimes I get tired of twisting it at night. So, the versatility with this wig is amazing lol! That’s the beauty of being a BLACK woman. We can do it all! Love you Jayla! ❤️
I think folks drag black women for wearing wigs and weaves because it’s usually not our hair texture, so it looks like we’re mimicking women of other races. On the other hand, women of other races wear textures that are similar to their own. I personally think black women should start wearing weaves and wigs that match our natural texture more, especially because it’s a viable option now.
I am natural, you can call me lazy, but I do not have the time to do my hair. I can't stand heat on my natural hair. That's why I wear braids and weaves.
I am so proud to witness your growth Jayla. I've been watching you since both of our college freshman year and I am just truly proud of your growth mentally, spiritually and career wise. Just letting you know that I peep the growth.
Have you tried using oils to increase growth? Also, I’d use oils along your hairline, esp as you wear wigs. (You didn’t ask, I know) but oils def help! Some great oils include: Castor (the goat), jojoba & almond.
Tiffany Reneé she never said she knew that oils help. Lol I also stated “you didn’t ask, I know” for a reason. Can’t even give constructive advice on here without people thinking you’re being negative. Damn lol
Your hair talk is soooo real. I have fine hair too girl and I feel you sooo much. No one understands what it's like to have fine textured naturally curly hair. Fine 4b/c hair is nothing like thick Type 3 hair or even thick 4b/c. We have to work so much harder than everyone else! You look bomb with or without your inches though!!
And you look bomb with your natural hair and bundles sis. I’m natural as well. I love my bundles more bc it’s less work. Plus it makes me look older, in my opinion.
Jayla, you look equally as beautiful with your natural hair out. You could totally rock it. I totally agree with you on the maintenance, it can be a bit much. Are people really still judging weaves & extensions tho? Who? I didn't realize that was still going on. So thought we were beyond that.
I love natural hair but I loooove weave for me way more. I feel way more confident with weave because it fits my face. And my natural hair is thick and kind of long but I can’t help but wear my weave! It’s whatever you prefer. Weave is addictive too 😂😂
Could your stylist suggest a less greasy moisturizer for thin natural hair. I love my natural hair but just can't figure out how to keep it soft and shinny without so much oil and grease.
Ima be real witcha Chief, I’m not wearing my real hair I’m not comfortable with it no matter what type of way I’m styling it 😂it’s not long enough for me so ima wear weave. Idc if ppl think I hate myself or my hair Ima do what I want regardless !
You look cute natural or with weave. I like what he said about trying different styles. I'm get a wig with color. I always want try color without dying by hair.
I guess it’s up to us to challenge what’s “presentable” / “glam” or not. Tattoos were once a definite no no when it comes to jobs and I definitely see them more and more in professions that are top tier. On the other hand I hate doing my hair because I suck at it so there’s that 😂
The natural hair with the bangs was cute in the intro.

She just may be the most beautiful woman on the planet
I WISH I HAD A FRIEND LIKE CAREY! Omg. Helping you take your braids out?!? I love y’all
Eris Michelle I need friends like the twins in my life.

SincerelyAD everyone is starting to look the same so that’s why I like to wear my fro out like HELLO HI LOOK AT ME 😂
Nakia Rashawn go gurl! I agree, they all got long ass weave lol
I disagree with the natural hair comments. You can look a glam with your natural hair. It just takes more time, patience and skill.
Great vlog though. I love Beauty and Essex! You guys looked amazing!!
Yea I agree, if you don’t take the time to actually learn how to do your own hair then you’ll never know it’s potential
Nakia Rashawn Definitely!
I agree. I have seen some women rocking natural styles looking glam and sophisticated. It is all about learning how to style and care for your natural hair.

Janice Haney tell it!!!!!
You can be glam with your hair out. I’m not the natural hair army but glam is perceptive.
Tammy S agreed
Tammy S she said it all, natural hair is not glamorous or presentable. If you know how to rock it, it can be glamorous and presentable. She sounds ignorant af.
MISS Morgan not really ignorant..it's her opinion. She didn't say anything offensive at all..
MISS Morgan she spoke from her perspective and what glam is to her. How she feels defines her glam stop being offended for dumb stuff!
Jade Forest says the anonymous person. I'm sure you have weave down to your ass lol
Im here cause harlem told me there was a new video lmfao
Haha. ..Cute !
Kirah Ominiqué Same🐶🐶🐶🐶💝💝💝💝
I love that dog 😂💜

The way Harlem took off with that puppy pad 😂😂😂😂
I am natural, you can call me lazy, but I do not have the time to do my hair. I can't stand heat on my natural hair. That's why I wear braids and weaves.
Jay you look too cute with the braid out!!
I agree, she should try some natural styles
Jayla you so bomb wit just ya natural hair!! You slay the weave too but the braid out on the natural was gorgeous!!!!!!!!
This new dwelling is giving me life!!! It’s sooo spacious
Jayla, do you girl. Don't apologize for your hairstyle choices. Its all about what you are comfortable with.😘
K Allen she’s comfortable with internalized hatred
Definitely my favorite vlog channel 😩
I feel you 100% on having fine natural hair. It's a struggle BUT your hair did look cute in that braid out! Loving the inches as well
You can definitely be glam with natural hair.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORGAN!!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING DARLING!!
Morgan came to slay!
That dress was made for you Jayla ❤️. Happy bday to Morgan.
" I cannot go out and feel glam like this" DAS SAD :(
Zawadi Elaine sureis
So sad 😞 but I know a lot of ladies who feel this way
i mean if you;re not used to it, it's not gonna a feel the same
Zawadi Elaine her comment was rooted in internal misogyny.
Kaelyn Buchanan no it's not, it just means it looks too basic
Jayla can actually do no wrong. Curly bob, straight bob, natural, long bundles. I love it😍
😂😂😂I had to rewind the part Harlem was running past Jayla with the pee pad! That was hilarious! Harlem is too cute!
I just love your relationship with your friends. It’s refreshing to see genuine friendships. ✨✨
Honestly Jayla the braid out was cute sis 😍
I am so proud to witness your growth Jayla. I've been watching you since both of our college freshman year and I am just truly proud of your growth mentally, spiritually and career wise. Just letting you know that I peep the growth.
I love you with long hair/short hair curly hair. Like you can rock it all! Carey is the GOAT!
Have you tried using oils to increase growth? Also, I’d use oils along your hairline, esp as you wear wigs. (You didn’t ask, I know) but oils def help! Some great oils include: Castor (the goat), jojoba & almond.
How rude!
Lis Hurd 😹😹still rude.... I’m sure she knows what her own edges look like
Well she did say her hair is very fine and thin. So you don’t have to tell her what she already said herself.
Witchy Whit I wasn’t being rude. I don’t think I said anything negative at all. Oils do help with thickness and growth
Tiffany Reneé she never said she knew that oils help. Lol I also stated “you didn’t ask, I know” for a reason. Can’t even give constructive advice on here without people thinking you’re being negative. Damn lol
Your hair looks gorgeous either way. People forget that it's just hair! Do what you feel! I love the inches!
“ move ovaaa” 😂😂😭 Morgan was trying to hit that angle
Girl the Jamaican Black Castor Oil has worked wonders for me!! From having edges, to hair growth and my hair being thick! It's my go to!
Yess college jayla is back in full effect glams! You look cute girl! And harlem is a mess always getting into something lol

Your hair talk is soooo real. I have fine hair too girl and I feel you sooo much. No one understands what it's like to have fine textured naturally curly hair. Fine 4b/c hair is nothing like thick Type 3 hair or even thick 4b/c. We have to work so much harder than everyone else! You look bomb with or without your inches though!!

You’re not tripping the bun and bangs is cutee
And you look bomb with your natural hair and bundles sis. I’m natural as well. I love my bundles more bc it’s less work. Plus it makes me look older, in my opinion.
Jayla, you look equally as beautiful with your natural hair out. You could totally rock it. I totally agree with you on the maintenance, it can be a bit much. Are people really still judging weaves & extensions tho? Who? I didn't realize that was still going on. So thought we were beyond that.
Yesssssss college vibes
Happy birthday Morgan!!! you need to come to Philadelphia more jayla!!
You look great in that color 😍😍😍 Morgan slayed too! Happy birthday Morgan 🎈
I love natural hair but I loooove weave for me way more. I feel way more confident with weave because it fits my face. And my natural hair is thick and kind of long but I can’t help but wear my weave! It’s whatever you prefer. Weave is addictive too 😂😂
This long hair is signature Jayla to me. The bob suits u but this is the one.
Could your stylist suggest a less greasy moisturizer for thin natural hair. I love my natural hair but just can't figure out how to keep it soft and shinny without so much oil and grease.
When you get a new sofa make sure it's one HARLEM can't run under 😂😂😂😂

J Mayberry Finally someone thats honest.
I'm with you that is why I wear wigs. My hair is short, and I am not comfortable with it. I tried and it wasn't working.
That's just facts for me.

I guess it’s up to us to challenge what’s “presentable” / “glam” or not. Tattoos were once a definite no no when it comes to jobs and I definitely see them more and more in professions that are top tier. On the other hand I hate doing my hair because I suck at it so there’s that 😂
