Comment natural hair mistakes you made!
Thanks for the tips girl💗 A mistake i make is breaking my hair while detangling
Combing my hair dry
Cutting my hair myself🙄🤦🏾♀️
Wearing tight braids and not cutting my split ends yesterday I had to cut so much I felt sad
Not moisturizing my hair properly
A lot of people believe heat damage is their curl pattern lol
This is so sad 😭
Alot of ppl believe heat damage is others curl pattern too.... seen it on a one of youtube couple's channel (her separate channel).... they kept saying "I love your curl pattern" and her hair was heat damaged like crazy
I thought that yeah so sad...
My sister for example! On GAWD! My hair is natural and hers is dyed, fried and neglected! The only thing we have in common is using castor oil! I want to post videos but I want my hair to be long like hers so I can prove my method works!
😂😂😂😂 This comment made my life
My biggest hair mistake was flat ironing my hair everyday. And i mean every single day in high school. I would touch up my ends every morning cause the straight look was definitely in. My mom warned me but of course i didn’t listen cause i didnt want puffy hair. My hair went from the middle of my back to my shoulders to my chin in months. Then i decided to go natural cause i was bald headed😂😩😩😩
😭 me too! Good thing we know better now
Me too. I was always straightening n relaxing then I colored it,broke off n I went natural.
Oh my hon :) I went natural in February 2008 after transitioning for months. My biggest mistake was wearing a wig daily for months without proper care underneath the wig. I recently talked about this in a video.
How's your hair now sis?
The condition of my hair is better now. I started to consume more protein and using various oils as explained in some videos.
My friend gave me a tip to have a guy cut your hair. Cause sometimes hair envy is real. And I’ve been able to retain length through my cuts
People who destroy others' hair out of jealousy end up bald headed on god😓🙏
BLACK PPL BLONDE LMAOAOAOAOAOA I know EXACTLY what shade you mean sis 😭😭😭😭
Lmaoo right? Probably a 27 color
akekeke
1. Not using shampoo (the early 2000 curly girl madness.
2. Not using protein.
3. Not using enough products when conditioning, detangling and wash and gos.
4. Blonde highlights (1990s)
5. Not using a swimmers shampoo after swimming.
Yes, not using protein or consuming enough protein is my biggest mistake. I talked about this in a video.
Three times? In a month?? I'm surprised you had any hair left. But when you know better you do better. Your hair is beautiful!
My first year natural was trial and error with so many errors - following someone else’s hair routine and expecting the same results, not moisturizing my hair when needed, following type 3 gurus when I’m type 4 and couldn’t understand why my hair looked different when I did the same thing. CRAZY stuff but thankfully I figured it out. Education and learning what your hair needs is the key to happy natural hair.
What's even worse is when you followed gurus who had different porosity than yours. Different hair type + different hair porosity = yikes
Yes,so true.
I was guilty of the pony holders with the metal, but no more. I sleep with satin pillowcases, because I have problems with bonnets, and scarves staying on my head.
Where do you get your satin pillowcases from?
@@abbywabby30 I get them from Sally's, or from Burlington coat factory. They may even sale them at Walmart or Target.
Dollar tree
Knowing my hair does not like protein and trying it again just to "make sure"
Lol well now you know for sure SURE 😂
My hair hates protein too!
Lol me af
KoalatyKills same I did a protein treatment twice and half my hair fell out
This made me laugh 😂😂. But how do you know?? I'm still unsure, but I keep doing them occasionally.
Not moisturizing properly
Every time I go to the salon I have a set back.
Facts sis, facts! 👏
Every. Single. Time.!! I know better now
every time!!! many beauticians are not treating our hair as delicately as they should i swear this comment is me
Me too sis, me too 😫
My hair start growing and improving when I stop going to the salon.nobody but me touch my hair
I haven't been to a hairstylist in over 8 years after my last set back. Im my own hairstylist and my hair has flourished!
Sincerely Leshawn I’ve never been to a hair salon in my life. I’m a broke college kid so I have a friend who does my braids if I want them, I do everything else myself and haven’t used heat on my hair since 2013
I used to pick my single strand knots off 😬🤦🏾♀️
Same I still do but I'm trying to stop. I just hate that they're there and haven't figured out how to reduce the chance of getting them.
Same and I went from picking them to straight cutting them with scissors... worked for a while and I had basically NO split ends and knots but I don’t think it does anymore 😭 in fact it makes it worse. Trying to stop it
Evette they suck! I just make sure to keep hair shears near me now
nadine aww dang you would think that cutting helps! I know I had to change my regimen to help reduce the knots and shedding at least
Girl me too ..
My hair texture is completely different than what I thought when I was first natural. I literally thought I had no curl patter, but I’m 3c.
I guess it was dry Because it was always frizzy. Complete different with correct moisture levels.
Tori Thomas Same here. 10 years ago I went natural and my hair was dry as a desert. I relaxed it after a year. Last year, I decided to go natural again. My hair is hydrated and curly (3b-4a).
@@gaylan61802 can u please tell me what you use to keep it moisturized? I just recently went natural and my hair is a dry, frizzy mess😞
@@Xanthe79 It will take time for your hair to adjust. After 6 months to a year you will notice a change in moisture and curl pattern texture etc. 😊 Product use is trial and error. Products that worked when I first went natural don't work for me now. Don't turn into a product junkie like I did. One really bomb affordable product you can try is ORS Olive Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion with Castor Oil. It's affordable but works really well. My hair is all mixed up but mostly type 4. Goodluck.
I used to ONLY cowash my hair. I thought since it was a “cleansing cowash” then that was good enough but of course I was wrong. Shampoo is a must and I see the difference in my hair growth for sure
Girlllll meeee toooo Omgg even with cheap vo5 shampoo the wash made the difference
You always provide the best information... 📝 my mistake is not moisturizing like I should...
I stopped going to a hair stylist months ago and my hair is thriving. Plus its helped me learn my own hair and how to take care of it
I'm on this same journey now with my hair. I stopped going to my hair stylist, but it's for the better. I already see a little improvement. Thanks for sharing. It gives me hope.
I wash my hair every two weeks i would not oil my hair or my scalp. I didn't trim my ends, condition or deep condition. I've been natural for 10 years, my hair should be longer. Now I've been taking care of my hair in the last 2 years. I wash every week I don't condition but I deep condition with hot oil treatment weekly. I oil my ends daily and scalp daily. I'm high porosity with medium density and I think I'm about 4a/4b.
My hairstylist helped me start my HEALTHY natural hair journey so I’m very grateful
One mistake I made was treating my longer hair like I did when it was shorter. Which stunned my growth.
I definitely understand that girl! It’s a whole different process when your hair starts to grow out!
I blow dry my hair way too much 🤦🏽♀️
I'm glad I didn't have a blow dryer😂😂
Natural hair mistake #1: believing my stylist when they say "they're only going to DuSt My EnDs." I cut it myself- at least i know i wont cut too much!
Accurate because they get scissor happy and I end up with a big chop 🤦🏽♀️
And they cut more because they want everything to be even. I dont wear my hair straight so frequently enough to need it to be even 😂
more like dust yo whole scalp, goodness😭
@@ahhhitgavebirth8125 😂😂
1: Retwisting my hair every night. Not only was that setting me up for product build-up(esp since these products were hella thick), but I was also manipulating it too much.
2: Using thick products. Even though my hair is coily, I found that light creams and gels work wonders for my hair. Took me so long to realize since I assumed that having type 4 hair meant that I NEEDED thick products. It forced me to see that what works for someone else may not work for me and I needed to take into account how thick my own hair was.
I feel you with this comment 🙌 I'm type 4 and I had to learn most products that work for a ton of kinky coily's on RUclips like the eco styler and wetline extreme gels are a hell no for me. Natural custards and jelly's are the only way I can get a successful wash and go.
I've just started getting into light products and I love it so much🙏🙏my hair's been doing much better since then too
Every 2 weeks? Girrrrrrl I used to flat iron my hair literally every WEEK.
I found the main thing for me is moisturization and washing my hair. Honestly my hair just grows. As time goes by i have length and people ask but i have no special routine or like avoiding products or any of that. I do avoid excessive heat and deep condition often. I do use the two step protein treatment maybe once a month or even two or three months. Thats it.
When I first went natural a mistake I made was pulling my hair and BRAIN back with tight headbands. I wanted a puff so bad loll!! Hair started to thin around the edges smh.. Another major mistake I make is dying my hair. I would promise myself that I wouldn't do it anymore but I'm hardheaded loll! Using box dyes eats my hair up, no matter how well I take care of it. Trying my best to not buy one and just get something like the hair paint wax instead lol.. great video! ❤❤
1: I just greased my scalp & didn't know anything about moisturizing my actual hair
2: I didn't cleanse my hair properly
3: I didn't deep condition at all mostly because I didn't know what that was during that time
Same😣
Realized washing my hair with only sulfate-free shampoo caused my scalp to itch terribly. The itching stopped as soon as I started using shampoo with sulfates. Now I shampoo with a clarifying sulfate shampoo followed by a sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo. My scalp never felt better!
My biggest mistake and I'm completely ashamed was washing my hair whenever my style came out which was after 3 months🤢. I have been saved now so I shampoo every single week and also cowash midweek.
I want to see a picture of your hair blonde.
Aja Olokun Me too! Pics, please. 😁
Aja Olokun How did your scalp handle that?
@@anndeecosita3586 well it did not lol. I now have scalp eczema/seborrheic-dermatitis. It is mostly hereditary as in my case but if you do proper scalp care you might never get it. But cause I wasnt caring for my scalp I got it and sadly, it can't be cured, it can only be managed. Getting it was what made me serious about scalp care. Lesson learned lol.
Aja Olokun woww Ive had scalp psoriasis since I was a child. I realized my hair needed to be washed either every week or every 2 weeks.
Daisy Flower this happened to me too! When I was 9 my mom left braids in my head for 6 months... I lost half of my hair and got seb derm, which I still have. I grew my hair back, now it’s bra strap length. But seb derm really sucks, I have it under control though
1. My HAIRDRESSER; she did not know what to do with my fine, med density, low porosity hair. she was always telling me “you got white peoples hair” 🙄 fried tf outta my hair & would turn me around in her chair. She cut off 8 inches of my hair
prettypea713 brings back memories ...😭 I’ll never let anyone flat iron my hair ever again
Najha girl yes! Then she cuts my hair off the day before family pictures. Had me looking like a whole egg out here in these streets 😭 I cried my eyes out
I hate how people will be mad rough with our hair and make it thin out then cut all of it off. So trash. Hair salons don’t be caring about our hair
Najha sure don’t! I wish I could post pictures in the comments cause girllllll I was a whole mess 😂
I have definitely been there
I trim my hair too much too
Hi, the biggest mistake I made was doing protein treatments every week😔
I did that before cause I read it wrong
@@barbaratucker2833 same
Do you have low-po hair?
@@kaec4393 I have high porosity if you were talking to me
@@kaec4393 yes I do
My biggest mistake was not getting my hair the moisture it needs I was listening to what other ppl said and my hair was DRY 😫 I didn’t even know I really had curls
I’ve made soooooo many mistakes during my journey lol but two that come to mind are not trimming when I need to (or at all lol) and putting so much oil on my hair that it was dripping in my face and breaking my skin out and I thought it was ok 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Your sense of humor is giving me life!!! Great video
Just recently passed the one year mark of no heat! YAY! I'm guilty of not deep conditioning and not moisturizing consistently.
My first few years of being natural I use to straighten my hair every 2 weeks in the colder months. When I stopped doing that I finally was able to grow my hair to mid-back length.
My mistake is going to a traditional hair stylist that doesn't have natural hair clients. My other mistakes were not moisturizing enough and not applying products properly. Great video, Jaelen!
Every natural needs this video I swear!
I think we all make these common mistakes when we are uneducated about our hair
1. using a sulfate free shampoo even while it was drying my hair out something bad. finally switched to sulfate shampoo and my hair is thriving.
2. not watering down my thicker products so my low porosity hair could absorb it better
Not clarifying my hair enough, once I learned about clarifying shampoo and bentonite clay my hair would be refreshed after getting the buildup off
I’m twelve and cut my hair in January due to having my hair flat-ironed. I begged my mom to get one because I was the only black girl in my class. I would over iron my hair and I thought that my curly- straight hair was a curl pattern. After cutting my hair its now in the awkward length stage, and before it was shoulder length. I’m lost about being natural.
Well I hope I can help love!!
ripping through hair with combs , im on a finger detangle journey.
let my mom do my hair (box braids) , she combs through my hair with a fine tooth comb and pulls knots apart.
not protective style in between getting braids. i’d wear puffs all the time, unstretched because i got lazy at twisting at night, KNOTS FOR DAYS.
seal hair with oils. oils dont do shit , i use hair grease now🤷🏾♀️ best decision ever.
Vasty A. Girl hair grease 😢😍
Hair grease baaaaddddd 🥰♥️
My daughters bands hit the middle of her back with coconut blue magic thick on ends. Low porosity
I honestly feel like grease isnt harmful. I had a bomb twist out with grease once. Grease isnt bad as long as you wash your hair since its heavy
@@destiny.shantelle mines is light and my scalp is so clean with it on alone.. Of course you need moisture soo I use water
None yet because I’m still transitioning and thank goodness I get to learn from RUclipsrs like you. Thank you!! For teaching us! Your nail color is life.
Not making my own oil, deep conditioners, and protein treatments as well as aloe Vera. I tried store ones but they never work like when I make my own
Sleep without protection...lmao! Good one Jae :)
Reign keeps on inspiring small RUclipsrs like myself 💜
1.) Trimming my hair too often (it’s an obsession😫). 2.) Shampooing too often, I get product build up really easily (please recommend products that don’t build up!)
I needed to hear this cause I was about to go crazy on a new hair color 🤣
Loved it! Very helpful and straight to the point. Thank you!
Girl i agree 100% i had no clue what protein treatments were.
But you live and you learn.
I love protein treatments now, however, ive never straightened my hair or used heat, other than the cool air setting on a blow dryer.
Girl, I have been eight years natural an made mistakes in the past five years 😂 with heat damage an not deep conditioning in the past. Now my hair is really flourishing an healthy. I had a similar straightening schedule too in my past every wash day lol 😂 gosh I didn't do a big chop but I had to cut my hair. I learned alot from those past five years. This video was very helpful knowing my hair is finally at a good state an that my curls are popping now! 😁 This was an inspiring video. Thanks for letting us know what we should avoid doing to our hair.
Another high porosity RUclipsr now I have 4 to follow! Keep doing.ha thang👌🏾 cuz I need it😅
This video was very, very helpful...One of the best I've seen! Thank you for sharing!!! Please continue to educate us😊
After 3 years of growing my hair, I flat ironed my hair with a conditioner ( which i thought it’s was a heat protectant)😭 heat damage and I had to cut it all and star over, I’m 1year post bigchop 🤧
Oh nooo sis!! 😔
NaturalReign 🤧
See I was just about to straighten my hair after a year of no heat but you know now I ain’t touching that shit I’m too scared lol my hairs mid back and healthy af😭😭 so sorry for u sis
Wxvyy_L0wkey yes boo! I cried so hard, I will never strengthen my hair again
Never
For me my biggest mistake was keeping the damaged ends from the relaxers instead of cutting it off.
I cut that ish off and my hair growth started going tf AWF!
i love how shes so real
You are so much fun to watch! But girl your hair is Everythingg
Thank you love! 💗💗
Thanks for the tips! Your hair is gorgeous!
How do you keep it so healthy despite all the dyeing?
Your one of my favorite youtuber's and your also my inspiration
Girl everything you said about the straightening , I felt!
New subby!! I love your personality & we have the same texture hair. It's so hard to find someone on here with the same hair texture. Most of them either have fine hair or very kinky hair. With that being said it's been hard trying to moisturize my hair properly. So thank you so much for your channel 🙌🏾😍
Thank you for giving out the site for the hair. I'm at that first where I have to stop going and getting it blow dry and flat iron. Just working on getting my curls back. Thanks for sharing
I loved this video a lot, your advice was on point and your jokes kept me laughing. I needed a laugh today. Keep being real, loving it all day long.
Thank you boo!! ❤️❤️
I found you two weeks ago and now I'm a subscriber. I love that you're true to yourself. Even my mom likes you. Thanks for the tips 💙💙
My hair mistake was rice water!!!!! I got protein overload!!
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous 🤩. GOALS. Thank you for your information beautiful.
i used to straighten my hair every sunday 😬 straightened my hair for the first time in almost a year back in october for shits and giggles but i just bought a wig to satisfy that inner need for straight hair. but my curls are doing so well now 🥺💗
love you and your videos so much!!✨🧚♂️💜
Tbh you don't need a bonnet. Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase 😊
I use all three because I’m that extra. Satin pillowcase, silk scarf, and satin bonnet. No friction formed against me shall prosper!
For me, satin pillowcases makes me too hot when sleeping. 🥵
It’s a good option for people who sleep like statues
No because my hair is always flat in the back
Thank you very much for the pointers. ❤
Love this segment
I needed this 😩
She said " Sis if you don't do nothing else just moisturize me"!..so guilty of this.Mama i appreciate your honesty...those tips really helped!!!🥰
OMG YESSSSSS YOU HELPED ME SOOOOO MUCHHHHHH
I am a 3b/natural/ with dyed blonde hair past my shoulders. I am ova this blonde and love your red!!!! I need this hair to grow. thnx for sharing the amazing info~
I get excited watching your videos! You’re awesome! You have me wanting to try the adore semi permanent dye and I have NEVER dyed my hair in the 37 yrs I have been living! Guess I’ll try it! 😂💝
Thank you beautiful!! Change is good! I hope you love the color 🤗
So I just watched like 8 of your videos love your content for a guy who struggles with even keeping his hair properly moisturized your convey your content in ways that I can grasp so thank you these videos are awesome
I’m so happy to help!! That’s why I’m here 🤗🤗
I originally watched your video about the hair stretching tool, if used over a period of time could it accelerate growth or alter the way hair falls?
We love it when she jumps right into the video in less than 3o seconds😂💥
1. At night, I didn’t protect my hair at all in high school. Just slept on it every. single. night.
2. Every morning it would be matted of course, so I would just re-do my entire styling process (wet my hair, put in hair cream and gel, and LEAVE the house with WET hair). I’m pretty sure I ended up having moisture overload for a while. But that was years ago and my hair is flourishing now. 💪🏾
Oooh girl your hair is so bouncy 😍
Gurl yaaasss pantyhose is life! I thought I was the only one with that quirk!
The ponytail holders and flat ironing my hair was definitely it for me but I been keeping my hair in braids and protective styles for a couple years now and making sure its healthy and clean and sis my hair is Growing 😊😊😊
Hey honey , do you cut your own ends? I used to always go get my ends cut but the last time I cut my ends , I did it myself because I feel like stylists cut too much off. Could you possible make a video & list the steps & methods of cutting your own ends?! ❤️ THANK YOU!
What cheap products are you talmbout👀? And my biggest hair mistake was listening to so many different RUclipsrs and thinking I could only do to my hair what they said.. and things they said were taboo I avoided like the plague! But I finally figured out what works for my hair and it’s beginning to flourish
For me personally, I had to let Cantù and ecostyler gel go.
ReignGang!!🙋🏾♀️❤ Still learning and I'm trying to not play in my hair.🙈
Hey boo! I struggle with this too! It’s a habit.
I get scissor happy I feel like that's the reason why my hair it's not where I feel like it should be. I got a trim my second year of being natural that was so bad that I literally damn near start it over somebody else did it for me. And I lied to lady who trim my hair this time around and she said I had done a really good job and I honestly in about 7 months but I told her having three. That showed me after her doing a thorough cut that I don't have to trim my hair as much.
Thank you for the tips! I’m so over my hair, hopefully it will start to grow. I will say I’ve definitely been lazy the last year; I’m back now. Time to get this hair right. My hair should be much longer. Smh
In all honesty this week was my since I've been natural (3yrs) wore my hair curly (1st attempt at a wash n go) and everyone loved it but me. I salute you curly girls y'all the real MVP's. I'm a naturally straight kind of girl
One mistake that I still do is touching my hair a LOT. Specially the ends. I used to do it when I had it relaxed and now I do it to my transitioning hair because I had my hair relaxed when I was very little and didn’t know what my texture was like so this is new to me and I just keep touching it because it’s different... i think it’s one of the reasons I have so many split ends and fairy knots. idk how to stop I think it has a lot to do with anxiety but I’m trying to stop 😭
Finding a moisturizing routine!!!!!! It’s so hard to genuinely moisturize my (naturally) dry hair. Like some products I have been trying make it more “sticky” than moisturized if that makes sense!
Being with stylists (including my mom) who doesn’t know my type of hair and just does the routines they do on everybody.
Wearing too much wigs and doing nothing to my hair underneath (very cringy right?)
I was trimming my hair every 2 months😭😭😭 I know you can beat me!
My biggest mistake that I still make is not sleeping with a bonnet I was experiencing some breakage in the back of my head and I had no idea why until this video
Btw love your channel I'm am struggling to embrace my curls so thanks love you
Thanks for sharing this information with us 👍👍👍💗
New subbie. My natural hair mistake was not moisturizing correctly and keeping my ends trimmed.
I have low porosity/medium 3c hair
I followed everyone i focused on what everyone else had all the expensive high quality products just because they had long shiny bouncy curls so i thought thats exactly what i needed. Honestly it just caused me more bad than good. Now i know *to* *stop* *following* *the* *crowd*
@plugboi johnny it just looks like 3c curls and some parts are looser
Great video!
Thank you!! ❤️
No judgment at all over here Jae, cuz I done waited a month (multiple times) to wash mine. The last time before I stopped being “Da Lazy Natural” I hadn’t washed or done ANYTHING to my hair for a solid 2 MONTHS 😳🤭😲
Chiiiiiile the BALL OF HAIR I shed after that was a crazy lesson for me!!! I’d always been a lazy natural, but I will NEVER do that again!!! Praise God I have so much hair, you couldn’t even tell that big ol’ hairball had come outta my head 🙏🏽
