This is unrelated and related. I love how RUclips has shown us soooooo many beautiful black women with long healthy hair (and taught us so women like myself have it too) that I automatically assumed when this popped up on my feed that that is all your hair! I just appreciate the moment that we can assume that. It's beautiful to me. That aside, nice job. It looks great!
TRESEMME is literallly the best when it comes to extensions the best 🗣 I can’t use on my natural hair because my hair feels like it’s gasping for moisture but when you bleach, dye or need to rejuvenate your extensions when I tell you tresemme will forever be my old faithful to getting my extensions back poppin for sure especially the moisture silk line
Your hair looks amazing. As a natural I would not knock anyone for going back to relaxers. However, this looks like more work and more expensive than rocking my wash and go making it more trouble than it's worth for me (emphasis on me). For anyone who complains that natural hair is time consuming and spend so much on products, the same happens with relaxers, and then add extensions on top of that. It's great to see this as a reminder since sometimes I miss having straight hair. It's more like choose your poison based on how you want to show up in the world in my opinion.
This process was very simple. Wash, deep condition, blow dry and optional styling. There are shampoos and conditioners that work well on both unprocessed natural hair and extensions. Since most of your hair is protected underneath you don't have to be as concerned with being "gentle". You also don't have to be so concerned with getting the perfect curl by spending 45 minutes shingling and then X hours drying it in the perfect position, midweek touch ups, etc. Wash and gos have been much more time consuming and damaging for a lot of us, especially type 4 hair. *It's not always about picking a poison*. Some people's hair simply can't thrive from wash and gos-- It thrives when its tucked way or even in a straightened stated. I've never come across a video on relaxed hair with a sew in, so this was great. This is not "more work". This video just wasn't for you and that's ok.
@@JT-tx2ns I'm started to agree with you! I'm on medication so I didn't want a relaxer now but I forgot I was on medication before when I was relaxed so I'm thinking about going back to relaxing my hair because my natural 4c hair is something else! I'm going to keep growing it out now and eventually start to heat straighten my hair. Right now I'm just blow drying it out!
I know salons have to make their money but the prices are outrageous. Hence the reason why I do my own hair. I like the olaplex line. Use it for the first time and it left my hair so soft amd still felt moisturized after a week. I actually stole some form my sister then decided to get my own🤫 Love the hair own you btw. I like how flat it is, make it look so natural
And don’t forget the “extras”, gotta pay extra if you have longer, thicker hair, detangling fee etc. I just gave up cause the price you see is never actually the price!
I’ve been natural for a few years now but honestly I’m getting sick of it. I really love the hair style you have right now. I want to get my hair relaxed and then get a see in but I also want to stay natural, it’s a huge dilemma.
I understand trust me. It all comes down to what is convenient for your lifestyle. Be natural and staying that way was just way too much of a commitment that I couldn’t stick to hence why I had to return
@@AlwaysSetApart I wish it was that simple!! I sweat in my scalp area VERY EASILY!! Simple things like cooking; doing housework almost any activity causes my hair to sweat. Therefore , my silk pressed“straight” natural hair certainly doesn’t last more than a few days. Very frustrating!
Gurrrl I felt the same but got me sum creamy crack.but u def gotta stay conditioned , moisturized and sealed esp if u have a leave out. Just promise urself ur Gina baby ur relaxed hair
She is so pretty and so clean.... I love how clean your videos are and so relaxing 😌 I just started my RUclips and it’s so slow but it’s RUclipsrs like you that keep me going....
Love the hair routine. I sleep with my straightened hair the same way, gives just the right amount of curl at the ends for long hair. I can't wrap my hair. Too much effort. And the sweater your wearing is soo cute. 😊
Try putting your shampoo and conditioner in an applicator bottle diluted with some water to get in between the tracks it will def help, that’s how my hair dresser washes my sew ins🙂
I’m natural and I decided to texturise and do hair botox treatments in between and I love the results I was really over natural hair because I prefer wearing my hair straight it’s easier to manage 😊
I'm natural but for me, a life saver has been kerastraight LOL which my white hairdresser (whose amazing with afro hair) does for me. Literally, it softens and eases my natural 4z hair. and makes shrinkage, tangles, shedding and breaking less of a thing. I also hate wigs and weaves but considering doing like partial wigs
You absolutely did not lie about making sure the braids are FULLY dry! If not the whole hairstyle is a flop. Immediately no. Just a no. Lovely vid, hun. 💕
I’m new here….Because of the #thumbnail. Clicked because I was like “Wow Hair! More proof that Brown Girls can grow long natural hair”😳 Completely had me convinced. It does look super natural and it blends effortlessly with your natural hair. Very nice.👌🏾
You and I have VERY similar hair techniques. I’ve been putting sew-ins in my hair for over ten years, myself. The only thing Ive changed is the way I braid my hair underneath (and I wear more v-parts wigs now to retain length). Also, I don’t perm my hair. I just straighten it as little as possible. My hair is soooo healthy.
Where have I been? Last I knew you were wearing wigs. Either way, good update. I go back and forth about getting a relaxer again. I workout so much and I prefer straight silky hair plus moisture is easier to maintain with straight hair: just me
Hi love ur beautiful! I've never let go of my sew-in.. Seeing the lacefronts everywhere makes me feel like I'm weird! But it looks more natural to me. I'm ordering some hair today they don't tell me what color I'm ordering though? I was wondering where dud u get the head dryer and how does it work? On my way to target shortly for shampoo & conditioner. Thanks so much for all ur motivational videos!
I went natural for literally 2 days😭😭my relaxed hair was split and damaged so I wore braids for about a year then a big chopped. Now my relaxed hair is in better shape than it's ever been. Sometimes you need to start over lol
This is my first video of u . I don’t even wear wings but ohhhh my😅 what a gorgeous woman We have the same hair length but mine is less thicker so i will install extensions ❤️and will try this style
Hey Octavia. From your experience, do you think a net is necessary for sew ins? I’ve never had one before and I’m still researching. I’m relaxed as well.
First of all your hair always looks amazing! Nosey me peeking in the back👀 lol looking at your pompass grass. Where did you purchase your pompass grass from? They look great.
I live for this ☺️ Would love an updated sew in routine how brews and sew so flat and seamlessly and what thread and needle type you use! Also would love to know how long you leave it in before the next relaxer! Xoxo I love your channel!!!

Waiting on your skincare routine because skin is fabulous
Yes coming this week , promise

Agreed ✨
Have you tried the Tresemme Au naturale range, it works perfect for my natural hair. Try avocado deep conditioning perfect for moisture
Uh oh I’m slowly becoming obsessed with her 😂😭 so flawless
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too..I love her vlogs❤️❤️❤️
Me too🥺❤️
She’s addictive!!! There’s just something about Octavia B 💕
she absolutely fake . nothing amazing because that's not her own hair

you right. id never go back to being natural after my relaxer. 4C was a nightmare for me

I agree with you. Just a simple blow out for example is from $100 they don’t even give a specific price anymore. SMH 🤦♀️
@@simskiara Yes they make up their own prices by how you look/ sound
And don’t forget the “extras”, gotta pay extra if you have longer, thicker hair, detangling fee etc. I just gave up cause the price you see is never actually the price!
Yessss, we do! As an ethnic hair specialist (25yrs) I give my clients professional hair product recommendations!!!!

Just be a straight natural and heat train your hair.

Currently the dilemma I am facing right now! 😵💫
I have been watching hair videos for years and yours is one of best I’ve seen for making a sew-in look so natural real. Well done 👏🏽
You make me want to get a sew in and I haven't had one since 2019. Your hair looks really good
thank you!
That’s. It. I’m perming my hair. Ta-night! The confirmation I needed 😅
Did you do it?
She is so pretty and so clean.... I love how clean your videos are and so relaxing 😌
I just started my RUclips and it’s so slow but it’s RUclipsrs like you that keep me going....
Yeah it’s very slow in the beginning - just keep at it
Thank you so much ☺️
Will definitely do that
Never ever giving up
Yassssss to relaxers!! I was natural for a year and just relaxed my hair. I love it now!!! I’m a creamy crack girl now 😂 😂
Love the hair routine. I sleep with my straightened hair the same way, gives just the right amount of curl at the ends for long hair. I can't wrap my hair. Too much effort. And the sweater your wearing is soo cute. 😊
Same here! Too much to wrap
Thanks for watching ❤️
Try putting your shampoo and conditioner in an applicator bottle diluted with some water to get in between the tracks it will def help, that’s how my hair dresser washes my sew ins🙂
Good tip
Yess keishaneista 88 put me on with that one I loveee it
I started dyeing my hair black because of Octavia (since last year). I'm Texlaxed and loving it! ❤️
I’m natural and I decided to texturise and do hair botox treatments in between and I love the results I was really over natural hair because I prefer wearing my hair straight it’s easier to manage 😊
I'm slowly becoming obsessed with you i love all your vlogs ❤ watching from all the way in South Africa
Great tips, as usual! Yesss to Olaplex! As an ethnic hair specialist I recommend "Keracare" hydrating shampoo👌
I'm natural but for me, a life saver has been kerastraight LOL which my white hairdresser (whose amazing with afro hair) does for me. Literally, it softens and eases my natural 4z hair. and makes shrinkage, tangles, shedding and breaking less of a thing. I also hate wigs and weaves but considering doing like partial wigs
Stocking foot sent meeeee bc you’re SOOOO Jamaican lmaooo !! Literally this is my entire family 😅😅😅
Takes so much effort to do these videos! Love it girl! You keep giving us!! 💕
Love Tresemme! I use all their products on my relaxed hair. ❤️
This is exactly me !! I love this. You are stunning and I’m getting this hair once it’s back in stock….immediately.
You absolutely did not lie about making sure the braids are FULLY dry! If not the whole hairstyle is a flop. Immediately no. Just a no.
Lovely vid, hun. 💕
Girl you and your hair are just STUNNING!! My hair is natural and I’ve been itching to get it relaxed. Thank you for this update ☺️🌸
LOL stocking foot, I was like...what's wrong with that hahaha, so true though, so Jamaican, my grandmother says that
Your hair looks incredible!! 😍
Thank you 😊

Love! Tell me more about this dryer hunni! I need to save money and start washing my hair at home myself
Hey love. Thanks for such an informative and enjoyable video 🥂 how long did this hair last please. Do you still wear it and recommend it? 🤗
Im very admirative of your hair it fits you very well !!
When you said stocking foot! I was like: your Jamaican is showing lol! New subbie!
I’m new here….Because of the #thumbnail. Clicked because I was like “Wow Hair! More proof that Brown Girls can grow long natural hair”😳
Completely had me convinced. It does look super natural and it blends effortlessly with your natural hair.
Very nice.👌🏾
Thanks so much for the video. I thought I was beginning to think I was the only person in the world who still wear sew - ins. Lolllllll 😆🤣
definitely going to attempt this alongside your braiding and sew in technique as well
What length of hair do you have and how many bundles did you get to create such a full look?
Please let us know :) Beautiful as always, Octavia!
Info in description box 🤍
But I have 4 bundles in
You should do a video on how to blend short leave out! Love the hair
Love the hair routine🥰. Discovered your channel and i absolutely love you content, vibes and energy.
I’d be so nervous that I wouldn’t get all the shampoo or conditioner out.. Girl you packed it on! 😆 Loved the results! 💛
I did! Haha
Try using a applicator bottle with the shampoo watered down
Do you still have the plug to that vietnamese hair cus chilleeee them bundles shook my soul
Aww you are sooo sweetheart, sending you lots of love from Moldova 🇲🇩 🤍😘
Octavia you are such a gem. Every video is incredible. Loved the hair tutorial!!! & please tell us where this sweater you’re wearing is from 😍

Hi Octavia, question. How do you manage your leave out? Did you do anything to it or did it just dry and stay flat no products ? Thank you😊
Yes when wet , I let it flat so it dries that way
Octavia!!! I’m loving these vlogs keep them coming sending love from NY❤️
I need this hair! Lol Def doing this look for the upcoming holidays. But Lovely video, you did a great job 👏🏽
Octavia is definitely a fave

My hair is soooo healthy.
You make it look so easy 😭😭
It really is… Just time consuming Lawd
Love the results and love your elegance ✨
Where’d you get your robe?
How often do you relax your hair? Do you relax your entire hair or just the leave out? Btw i love your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Entire head , every 8-12 weeks.
Leave out - on a NEED basis
May you share what bonnet hair dryer that was to dry your scalp?
Also what flat iron you use as well :)
I love love your hair! It’s always so nice. You should definitely try clip on extensions aswell I find them a good middle between a sew in and a wig x
They had a lot of pressure to my fine hair
Where have I been? Last I knew you were wearing wigs. Either way, good update. I go back and forth about getting a relaxer again. I workout so much and I prefer straight silky hair plus moisture is easier to maintain with straight hair: just me

Very informative video! Your hair always looks so beautiful 😍
Thank you so much 😊
Your hair is gorgeous! 😍 Which relaxer do you use?
Hii How long do you typically keep your Sew In up?🦋💕
About a month
I went natural for literally 2 days😭😭my relaxed hair was split and damaged so I wore braids for about a year then a big chopped. Now my relaxed hair is in better shape than it's ever been. Sometimes you need to start over lol
Thanks for sharing!!
Tie head Octavia? Lol yea, soooo JAMAICAN.
(First time commenting; love you!)
🇯🇲😉
Random but where did you get that brush??!!! I need that ! 😍
You know when we are Jamaican when we say "tie-head" instead of scarf😉😊...loved your video🤎!!
Hi Octavia, I absolutely love your videos and I love your hair routine.😍😍😍. Do you mind sharing the hair dryer info please?
Hooded dryer , blow dryer attachment
Great video! How does your leave out do at the gym? I’m relaxed, but my leave out still acts crazy when I go to gym.
Gurl I legit use Murray's pomade or Cisco then flat iron...no reversion...or luster s curl gel if u don't want to weight it down
Silicon products are VERY good for a deep conditioner on weave hair also. I will def try the Tresume though thx!
Thanks. This was very informative. Your hair is beautiful!
just got this hair installed today!!
Yay, thank you for the video! You are so put together!!! How long do your sew-ins last?
Great hair routine video. 👌🏾 Can you please share details for the top that you are wearing at the end of the video? Thank you! 😊
Sure it’s from leze the label . Check my insta stories for link 🤍
Loving the consistency Octavia! Keep going 🙌🏾
Thank you so much 😊
You rock wigs so elegantly 😍👌🏿
I loved this video ❤️where do you find copyright free back ground music for your videos please?
This is my first video of u . I don’t even wear wings but ohhhh my😅 what a gorgeous woman
We have the same hair length but mine is less thicker so i will install extensions ❤️and will try this style
I love your extensions. where did you buy from?
Yasss You did a video update ! 😍😍😍
That weave is really long and that leaveout covers it pretty good.
Hey Octavia. From your experience, do you think a net is necessary for sew ins? I’ve never had one before and I’m still researching. I’m relaxed as well.
I’ve never used a net before
Ok. Thanks
Just watched your sew in video from a year ago! Are these your same hair extensions ?
You're sooo pretty!
But why is she so pretty though?!😍😇
Aww thank you 😊
A stocking foot! She's so cute and funny ❤
Lol 😂
That hair is amazing!
I am so ghetto I use grocery store plastic bag instead of a shower cap😂😂😂. Yes ma’am so Jamaican (tie head) 🤣🤣
Lol listen, I’ve done that but I purchased a Box of the plastic caps so I have a ton
I struggle with curling my hair. I used to jus use flexirods an mousse but im gonna try again tonight n use the pins to hold the curls
So beautifull, love this hair. It is so beautifull on you.
Hey! Do you have any tips for hyperpigmentation around the mouth?
Love everything about this video🙌🙌🙌💕💕
Got me wanting a sew in now 👀
First of all your hair always looks amazing! Nosey me peeking in the back👀 lol looking at your pompass grass. Where did you purchase your pompass grass from? They look great.
They are from crate and barrel
@@OctaviaB Thank you!
I haven’t had a sewin in two years and really want one but then I remember wash days. The long drying process stresses me out 😩.
I live for this ☺️ Would love an updated sew in routine how brews and sew so flat and seamlessly and what thread and needle type you use! Also would love to know how long you leave it in before the next relaxer! Xoxo I love your channel!!!
My hair was professionally done. And her technique is really good every time she does my hair I really really watch
