    Whitney, you are such an inspiration. Way back in 2013, I began my natural hair journey, and you were the OG, the mixtress, the representation I needed at the time. I am thrilled that you are getting your flowers! You changed the game entirely!

    Yay Whitney!!! I've been following you since 2016 and it was your influence that made this old gal ditch the relaxers and go natural and thick gray hair is the healthiest it's ever been. Thank you for being the pioneer we all needed but didn't know we needed.

  • @mrsrockbison
    @mrsrockbison 29 дней назад +30

    This made me emotional because Whitney really did changed my life. She has hair just like mine and she was a source of support and to learn from when I went natural in the early 2000s. Her products are amazing and I’ve been using them for years. Well served 💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺🌹🌹🌹🌹

  • @kwest1401
    @kwest1401 29 дней назад +21

    I absolutely adored watching this! She was the reason why I started experimenting with my natural hair more than a decade ago, making at home DIYs, and finally being able to style my hair without the use of a flatiron. I didn't know that I had springy coils until then due to relaxers and loads of heat damage. It's so lovely to see her get her due Flowers

  • @BeBlessed70
    @BeBlessed70 29 дней назад +29

    I've been natural for about 12 years. I remember watching about three of Whitney's videos, grabbing a pair of scissors, and doing a big chop that night. No more relaxer! My TWA was so cute and I realized that my new growth...my natural hair...was actually curly. I had no idea my natural hair was so beautiful. Thanks, Whitney! 💕

    This was so emotional for me. I have followed, learned and bought from you for years. You are the best inspiration for all of us. I must say people really need to careful when purchasing hair care products from those that are not of the community. Cares nothing about us, other than making millions while simultaneously disrespecting us. Always check to see who's behind the labels that you purchase if you care that much. I'm talking to you EBIN New York! Thank you Whitney for your insight, support and the love you have given us. Lifetime customer and fan here. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

    Yasss when I first went natural in 2018 I found Naptural 85 , natural Reign and in 2022 found Brittany Rose. I appreciate everyone of you guys frfr. I was so scared to go natural I was so used to having relaxed hair. And now I will never go back to relaxed hair. Now in 2024 my hair is beautiful and healthy ❤❤ Thank you ladies.

    I’m 14 years into my 3rd time being natural, and it was a steep learning curve. I just didn’t know how to look after my hair and fell back to relaxers for ease. Naptural85 gave me the knowledge and tools to actually understand my hair, which built my confidence to try new things and the power to be myself.

    When I started thinking of going natural in 2014 I had no idea how to take care of my transitioning or natural hair. A friend told me there are videos on RUclips and Naptural 85 flat twist video was my first video and my intro into the natural hair community. I've watched EVERY video of hers, tried most of her DIYs, attempted many of her hair style tutorials and bought her Melanin Haircare product. She is such an important part of my hair journey. ❤ her.

    I'm Mexican bro, and I think afro looks dope, unique to the black culture, why changing it makes people think they will look better, is cool if they want to change it but because others tell you to do it is stupid, don't be ashamed to represent your culture, afro is a black culture hair style n it rock's is unique beautiful. 😐 2024™ 💖💯

    Whitney ushered me into my natural hair journey. She walked me through it step by step from Terressentials to clay masks, and black soap, and then eventually melanin hair care. She made me believe in the power of the twist out and inspired me to be unapologetically natural in a corporate environment. She did it all while being authentic, open, humorous , and completely relatable. And… she started a family and a business while educating a community and going through her own personal growth. We were watching you girl and learning how to persevere with you. Whitney, your influence is so much bigger than hair care. Kudos Naptural 85! You are truly MAGIC.

    I'm really happy for this video. It's so nostalgic for me. I stopped relaxing in 2008 and did my big chop in 2009. I haven't gone back to relaxers. I can't believe it's been 15 years of wearing my natural hair. I tried so many products and natural concoctions. It's really a rite of passage for women like me who were relaxed as little kids. It's been quite a journey! I'm glad that it's not unusual for us to wear our natural hair anymore!

    Who’s cutting up some onions 🥹? It’s amazing to see Whitney get her flowers while she can still smell them. She’s truly the OG when it comes to educating us on how to grow our own hair. Per her recommendation, I stopped putting heat on my hair for 5 years while in doctoral school. My hair grew to my belly button..granted I had lots of split ends cuz I wasn’t getting trims but still! Then, I moved and started getting silk press so now it’s back at shoulder length. Point: Listen to Whitney!
