Thanks for sharing your journey. Representation matter and I'm sure your inspiring girls who dont see their self in the natural mouvement. You remind me of the youtuber Hannah Mussette (she looks like you and similare hair type). I think in the natural mouvement not enough is made to show natural 4 hair girls (4a, 4b, 4c). I don't have the same hair type has you but I appreciate what you're sharing because I still can learn. Gold luck on your job interview.
Hi I was watching videos here on youtube, and I saw a gel called Eco Styler, I would like you to use it, to know if I can buy it online, since your hair is like mine, and here in Brazil you do not have this gel. Thank you I really like you.
4C is definitely a weird... thing ...amongst black people. I live in Trinidad & Tobago and we're a very mixed people in general... Ancestors from Africa, India, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, not to mention Indigenous peoples from the Americas and the Caribbean Islands. We're the melting pot of the world. And people will STILL make stupid comments about kinky/coily hair being "bad" hair. I've heard many times "But you're light skin, why your hair so hard?" I love wearing my 4C hair how it grows just to defy people's expectations of what "good" hair is supposed to be.
Your hairs gonna end up being the longest its ever been in your whole life by treating it with such care...but girl you'd still be beautiful with a shaved head!! And your family sounds lovely🌻
You and your hair are beautiful! Ppl have been brainwashed. Growing up, I remember a mixed family with twins who had very coarse blonde hair. Yes. Representation is everything.
Does anyone remember the interracial couple that gave birth to identical twin baby girls with different skin colours? Those two sisters were literally identical except one was dark brown and the other pink with blonde hair. Shit's fucking wild lol genetics can behave in wild and unpredictable ways
i showed my mom your big chop video and convinced her to cut my hair and same as you i was so shocked to find that im more confident with my hair than before when it was relaxed and im so happy that your boyfriend loves your hair
The fact that you're helping his son has to be the 2nd best part of this video, 1stly being just how happy you are. Your beauty radiates right from your spirit. Such a lovely girl. I'm sooooo excited for you. 6 months. WOW. Finally YAAAAAAYAYAYAY👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 YOU GET THAT JOB GIRL!
I love your personality. It is soooo refreshing seeing you fully embrace your 4C hair. Just like you said we need to see more representation on youtube.
Some ppl are so lost😔 I have biracial family members and some of them have your hair type and some 3a, 3b or 3c curls. And some of my family who are not mixed have 2c,3a,3b,3c/4a hair type. It's sad that ppl cant understand our hair and skin color or eye color &hair color can be different from the norm of what ppl consider what blk/mixed ppl should look like.Ur hair is beautiful and ur personality 😍😍. Keep doing you girl😀. Loving the growth
ABSOLUTELY. I come from a whole family of white people with curly hair. My mom used to put my hair in protective styles like braids or cornrows for summer camp and such because she can't be trusting a stranger with my tangly fragile hair! Then I went my whole 20s struggling with my hair because I thought if I wore cornrows it was cultural appropriation. Then I discovered the cg method and my hair has never been healthier or curlier!! I've always enjoyed bingeing black hair videos and I was surprised to discover that most of the techniques they use aren't for black people, but rather for curly hair!! Of course there are many differences but I sleep in a silk scarf, deep condition every wash day, only detangle with tons of conditioner, etc. I've finally learned that the health of my hair is more important to me than uninformed strangers' opinions.
Its probably strange to know that others think you look unique because you see you everyday but trust me you have a VERY unique look But we do have to remember that black is very versatile. But joyel please don't feel pressured to try different things because you're on RUclips. Just worry about the health of your hair and whatever youre comfortable with.
Sharmaine, I've seen girls like you. There was one little girl with blue eyes, and she had type 4 blonde curls. She looked absolutely Caucasian. Her older sister had the same hair, but much longer. I love your hair! I love my type 4 hair too! Type 4 hair is very beautiful! 😊
That’s six months growth!!!!! 😱 that’s a TON. Keeping it simple is really working for you! Maybe you can try some heatless blow out, idk maybe starting with perm rods, roller sets, or banding whenever you want to see more of your true length. Ps you’re GLOWING✨😍
People are hilarious. My Grand Mother is your complexion with 4b/4c hair and she's not biracial. I have no clue why Black people in general act like they've never seen multiple shades and hair types within their own family, community and friends. One of my best friends growing up was very dark complexion with 2a hair. She got so much grief because people would ask her what she was. My uncles GF was your complexion maybe a little lighter with bone straight jet black hair. She also got the same grief being mistaken for Asian and black, or Spanish. Both of her parents and grand parents were black and not biracial. Her brother was my color with 4c hair. That is the beauty of creation. We are all unique and beautiful in a variety of special ways. Please don't let haters get you down. Some people simply thrive on hate and chaos. Don't respond, just block, delete, and keep it moving. At the end of the day, just do you boo!💋
well again those that you mentioned are not the majority that is why most people have their attention and like you said just keep it moving. any attention is good anyways
emelda osamor Not quite sure what you mean. Black families have always been filled with a variety of shades ranging from very light to very dark. At least down here in the south. Not sure how you feel about this new cultural movement, but this new colorism battle needs to stop. As women we need to lead that conversation and challenge ourselves to embrace each other regardless and in spite of our differences. I mean in truth aren't we all racially mixed? Those DNA test everyone has been taking proves it. It saddens me that at 53 I see women who hate each other over skin color. I'd hoped that wouldn't happen in this generation. I'm not speaking about you, just the new RUclips culture that's forming. I'm tired of women feeling like they have to take a side and criticize others for not being light enough, or not being dark enough, not having hair that's this or that. All black women are my sisters regardless of our parents or racial make up. There is greater power in numbers. We are stronger together than divided. Much love to you sis. Thank you for your comment. Be blessed.♥️
You need to get the Curl keeper spray bottle or if you have a Sally's near you the 360 mist sprayer. It is the best thing for our kinky curly hair. The spray is so perfect and even, I was shook.
Your explanation around swimming and what you had to go through and then the level of comfort is so awesome! It totally reminds me of Nappily Ever After... it was a cute movie and addressed exactly what you discussed.
Protein treatments once a month is great for elasticity and to keep your ends protected so they don’t break off, I’m not sure if you use this treatment but it will help you retain length so your ends don’t break off, never allow your ends to become to dry, they will break off. Keep your hair hydrated always and your hair will grow. Sleep on a silk or satin pillow case. x
Isa IsaLee Aphogee have a great two step protein treatment also Motions have a really good protein treatment and it definitely does work on all hair types and the price is good. X
Yes, all is true in what you said - to me natural hair is much easier to take care than relaxed hair. I don't have to worry about my hair getting messed up in the rain, or going to the gym, lol. Don't have to worry about flat iron or applying heat to natural hair vs relaxed hair. Get luck with the interview. Thank you for the positive vibes and your bubbly personality.
I am a natural with high porosity hair so i normally subscribe to natural youtubers with high porosity hair. You are the only low porosity youtuber that i am subscribed to simply because i love your personality. Don’t ever change for anyone! 😊
Hey girl! I’m totally addicted to your channel. Sorry to hear you get negative comments. Just so you know a lot of people have not been taught properly to express themselves without offending others. You look amazing and your personality it EVERYTHING!!!!
“I’m not going to. keep on hating” 👌🏽 yes. Couldn’t have said it better myself. You look way more comfortable now and its so refreshing to watch 😊 definitely love the real thoughts and impact on your husband’s son and such. Your hair is just as valid as the next
I have 3B curls; my family comes from Italy and Argentina. I straightened my hair in high school, but as I got older I couldn't be bothered. Even with my natural curls, I never once gave a second thought to my hair impacting my opportunity for employment. The natural hair movement has really opened my eyes to the anxieties that women of colour -- particularly black women -- have to struggle with regularly, simply because they choose to rock their natural hair. It might seem trivial to some but this movement is really important, and I think that you should be proud of yourself for not only embracing your curls but also challenging beauty standards and representing your experience as a biracial woman. Stay real xx
I'm so glad you created this channel. "...That is a white girl, with a black girl's hair." This statement resonated with me; I heard the same thing. My father is Scandinavian and my mother is African. I have my father's skin color and blond hair, but I inherited my mother's 4c hair. I was obsessed with my relaxed hair and how it would look. It was not until my residency that I decided to stop relaxing it and grow my hair naturally. It was the best thing I could have done for myself! I get the looks, oh yeah, I get 'em...but you know what? I'm good with it. People cannot believe that someone like me could have an Afro! It's ok...I get to talk about my background and the fantastic parents I have. I think your channel is great b/c you represent people like me and I'm sure someone like us will you see your channel and completely identify as well. You are not only beautiful, you are also a ray of light; you radiate goodness from within. A role model, I would say.
I recently discovered your videos and channel. I must say that your positivity and confidence for your natural hair has inspired me to continue growing out my own 3c type hair. I had my hair relaxed for the first time when I was around 13/14 years old, suggested by my mother. The last time I relaxed my hair was in December of last year. I find myself going through ups and downs of growing out my hair, relaxing it, doing a big chop and repeating the cycle. For spring and summer, I would want my kinky/curly hair. Then in fall and winter, I would want pin-straight (and damaged 😔) hair. It was to the point where my relaxed hair would fall out (because I finger with my hair, as a habit). My last buzz cut was in August (I think?) but my hair tends to grow pretty quick. I just wanted to say thank you for empowering and motivating me to embrace the hair I was born with 😊
That is absolutely beautiful. I love that u influenced his son to actually love his hair instead of question y his hair is the way it is. That’s beautiful.
I feel your pain, my hair has fallen out and grown back so many times but now that I’m older it might not grow back. Your very pretty and love your fro.
You are gorgeous and believe me when I tell you that your overall look including your 4c hair (especially the hair) is stunning. Embrace everything about yourself and be confident. I am a gray haired 57 y.o. woman with a fro a bit bigger than yours that has struggled with my hair. I finally decided to let it "do what it do" and Voila. I love it and have been shocked at how many compliments I have been receiving. I love this watching you take this journey as you embrace. and love your hair. I have a biracial grandson who has blondish curly hair and he has his struggles too.
As an African American woman, I truly love your honesty and enjoy seeing your natural hair journey. Keep being who God created you to be , embracing all that you are. That's what makes you uniquely you. Your beautiful and you have a good spirit, do not let any ignorant person's words bring you down. Keep loving yourself. God bless.
When I found your channel, my daughter and I were amazed at how much you look like my mother. She is a shade or two lighter than me with type 4 hair. Her mother was biracial. My other grandmother was biracial also, but most of us have type 4 hair. I have worn a twa, braids, twists mainly. You look so beautiful and are an inspiration.
I subscribed to your channel, not because of the hair in itself, but because it's interesting to see others deal with the whole biracial thing and discovering new sides of themselves while doing so. I'm half danish and half greenlandic, and people in Denmark do have issues with greenlandic people. You seem very honest about everything, and even though I might not be learning something about my hair, I am learning something about myself. Keep up the good work, you are wonderful!
it is real i have never seen somebody like you ..you look white i was shooked ...i never thought biracial black and white would be that white and have 4 type hair that is beautiful ... i am middle eastern and i have type 4 hair also...
Your hair is beautiful and I love how bouncy it is! I hope you find your job you’re looking for and I can’t wait for more videos from you! I love your channel so much! ❤️
Wow, what growth! Your hair looks beautiful! Why can't we all just accept each other and everything that makes us all human? Diversity does encompass accepting the many shades and textures of being black. You are beautiful, stay natural and happy!
Love that. You should get that on a t-shirt: We need more representation of the 50 shades of beige we always see. GIRL! You have a brand waiting to explode. Love your spirit and energy!
Other people who have RUclips channels are also getting negative comments. Your hair is beautiful, so don't worry about the comments that people write. Many people in our society can be so cruel.
I have found that my boss loves my hair. He compliments me all the time. It’s actually shocking. And my man!!! He is so supportive and he too goes right in and rubs my fro. It’s been a pretty cool experience. You’re pretty great. Own you! Love you!
You look absolutely lovely, and it is wonderful to watch your journey, and to hear your thoughts. I really love your voice, too, you are so engaging! :)
I love you, your hair and quirky personality. You have allowed me to gain more love and appreciation for my hair even in its natural state. I’m happy you made this decision I look forward to watching you in the future ✌🏾♥️
Girl, u are beautiful white, black or green. I'm so glad ur comfortable in ur own skin. Ur hair is healthy and growing. Ur doing great job! It's always good when u figure out what makes ur hair tick. I'm excited to watch ur journey. The haters only make u work harder!
Lol, I love that you make these videos. There are so many biracial girls especially in California and Florida... And vkack girls in general who are self conscious about their hair and seeing your journey and confidence helps so much. Representation matters!
First, sooo proud of you. You embrace who you are naturally and love the way you keep learning as you go along. Keep on keeping on!! Looking forward to the halloween video, love this time of year too!!!! Good luck on he job interview!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
I think you are absolutely gorgeous!!! I am 4 months post big chop now. It is interesting learning more about my hair. I have found out that l have three types of hair strands. It is so wild! Congrats on your job offer! Oh, how exciting!
You’re so adorable. I love your channel. You should look into glycerin. Also even though it’s expensive the kinky curly line is the BOMB. Also V05... don’t sleep on it! And dollar store hair products
I'm blasian with 3c-4a hair and people think I'm Hispanic or half white because blasians always have type 2 or 3a-3b hair. It made me insecure when I was young but now it's so full I love it ❤ fuck the haters! Mixed black people are very diverse in look. Genetics are more than just race ❤
love this!!! Going to college soon and thought I couldn’t be bothered but you motivate me to never give up and keep working with it( no matter how hard it gets) ♥️♥️
How do you keep your hair manageble thru out the day? Especially at bed time. Are u wetting your hair everyday? I have the same hair and i only wear braids because my hair is too hard to handle. Unless its wet.
Wow youve had so much growth. I completely shaved my head 6 months ago n am at the 2-ish inch mark (1 inch in some spots, almost 3 in others). I chopped due to losing hair due to stress health issues n mistreatment of my hair.
Im white and puerto rican and i have curly hair, my kids are white rican and black and they all have different hair textures! My 2 yr old has 4c hair, my 6 year old has 3c/4a hair, and my 8 yr old has a texture so weird its like between 4c and my and my daughters soft hair
You look lovely!! You are surly giving off a glow of confidence :) I am enjoying learning with you. Our hair is different textures but our routines are very similar.
LOL.. I admit since I started watching your videos, I only really read the first page of comment and from what I see, they are all positive and encouraging. Just focus on those.

Hi I was watching videos here on youtube, and I saw a gel called Eco Styler, I would like you to use it, to know if I can buy it online, since your hair is like mine, and here in Brazil you do not have this gel. Thank you I really like you.
4C is definitely a weird... thing ...amongst black people. I live in Trinidad & Tobago and we're a very mixed people in general... Ancestors from Africa, India, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, not to mention Indigenous peoples from the Americas and the Caribbean Islands. We're the melting pot of the world. And people will STILL make stupid comments about kinky/coily hair being "bad" hair. I've heard many times "But you're light skin, why your hair so hard?" I love wearing my 4C hair how it grows just to defy people's expectations of what "good" hair is supposed to be.
Karian Forde so true. Guyanese here.
Same im also from Trinidad and this is soo true...
I'm trini as well and am growing out my relaxed hair for a year now and i can't wait to go out with my curls
Bring it!!! Water is my best friend. 💀
You go girl! Caribbean attitudes to 4 type hair will change with this natural hair movement! ! I believe in it!!
YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL!
WillOnAWhim Look who's here

What mean by coarse hair , anyone can have coarse from type 1 to 4 coarse means ur hair strand is thick
4c hair can be fine hair
You helping your man's son gain confidence in his natural hair is the cutest thing i've heard in a long time!
You are so freaking cute lol don't ever change for anyone
i showed my mom your big chop video and convinced her to cut my hair and same as you i was so shocked to find that im more confident with my hair than before when it was relaxed and im so happy that your boyfriend loves your hair

Please do a “boyfriend does my hair video” or a boyfriend tag, I think you’re such a beautiful person with a beautiful personality😊
I love your personality. It is soooo refreshing seeing you fully embrace your 4C hair. Just like you said we need to see more representation on youtube.
I can't stand the labels; you're a beautiful woman who has beautiful hair❣️ Period‼️

Skin color, facial features, and hair texture are inherited separately. So all of us are more unique than we realize. Joy-el's hair is so awesome!💕

Siobhan Airey using rice water once or twice a month is a great protein treatment your hair will grow like crazy I swear
lina until I can fix the smell with something I like I’m not using it at the moment, I have long hair.
Yess your hair is flourishing! I’m almost 4 months in and it’s so exciting ❤️
When you started to talk about your stepson I just started to weep very silently at my desk. That's so lovely and so deeply loving and wonderful.

As an African American woman, I truly love your honesty and enjoy seeing your natural hair journey. Keep being who God created you to be , embracing all that you are. That's what makes you uniquely you. Your beautiful and you have a good spirit, do not let any ignorant person's words bring you down. Keep loving yourself. God bless.
You are doing such a great good and such an inspiration to ALL of us women of color. Keep being you and living your truth. Love your channel.
When I found your channel, my daughter and I were amazed at how much you look like my mother. She is a shade or two lighter than me with type 4 hair. Her mother was biracial. My other grandmother was biracial also, but most of us have type 4 hair. I have worn a twa, braids, twists mainly. You look so beautiful and are an inspiration.
Woohoo congrats on the second interview & reaching 6 no. chica! 🎉
Love your channel and personality. Thank you for not letting the trolls get to you.
I subscribed to your channel, not because of the hair in itself, but because it's interesting to see others deal with the whole biracial thing and discovering new sides of themselves while doing so. I'm half danish and half greenlandic, and people in Denmark do have issues with greenlandic people. You seem very honest about everything, and even though I might not be learning something about my hair, I am learning something about myself.
Keep up the good work, you are wonderful!
it is real i have never seen somebody like you ..you look white i was shooked ...i never thought biracial black and white would be that white and have 4 type hair that is beautiful ... i am middle eastern and i have type 4 hair also...
Your hair is beautiful and I love how bouncy it is! I hope you find your job you’re looking for and I can’t wait for more videos from you! I love your channel so much! ❤️
Wow, what growth! Your hair looks beautiful! Why can't we all just accept each other and everything that makes us all human? Diversity does encompass accepting the many shades and textures of being black. You are beautiful, stay natural and happy!
So glad your hair journey is going so well and that you're feeling your natural hair. :-) Can't wait to see how much better it will get. Much love! ♥
Love that. You should get that on a t-shirt: We need more representation of the 50 shades of beige we always see. GIRL! You have a brand waiting to explode. Love your spirit and energy!
Other people who have RUclips channels are also getting negative comments. Your hair is beautiful, so don't worry about the comments that people write. Many people in our society can be so cruel.
Your voice is so adorable and fun to hear
You should try voiceover acting.
You’re so beautiful! I think your hair density has improved and length is next! Loving your journey.
Thanks for sharing, your so beautiful. I feel like your type 4 is my type 4. Look forward to seeing more of your videos!!!
Bring it! Water is my bessfran!
PLUS: I wear an afro and I work in IT, and it has NEVER EVER been an issue with me and will not with you.
Yay, natural hair power!👏👏👏👏👏👏 Welcome to the club! For only the true u can only b involved in the club!👏👏👏👏👍👏👏👏
Giirrll look at that beautiful growth!! Also congratulations on 12k!!!
One more thing... to avoid heat all together maybe you can do a series on health less styling methods that stretch type 4 hair.
I have found that my boss loves my hair. He compliments me all the time. It’s actually shocking. And my man!!! He is so supportive and he too goes right in and rubs my fro. It’s been a pretty cool experience. You’re pretty great. Own you! Love you!
You look absolutely lovely, and it is wonderful to watch your journey, and to hear your thoughts. I really love your voice, too, you are so engaging! :)
I love you, your hair and quirky personality. You have allowed me to gain more love and appreciation for my hair even in its natural state. I’m happy you made this decision I look forward to watching you in the future ✌🏾♥️
its grown in so nicely!!
Love, love your personality! Congrats on 6 months! May you continue enjoying your hair journey!
you should do the african threading method to check the length! a lot of ppl on yt compare it to a blowout and it doesnt use any heat!
Girl, u are beautiful white, black or green. I'm so glad ur comfortable in ur own skin. Ur hair is healthy and growing. Ur doing great job! It's always good when u figure out what makes ur hair tick. I'm excited to watch ur journey. The haters only make u work harder!
Whaaaat???! Your hair is beautiful !!! Dude who cares what they say!! Girl you out here slayin these dragons!!! ❤️🔥
Lol, I love that you make these videos. There are so many biracial girls especially in California and Florida... And vkack girls in general who are self conscious about their hair and seeing your journey and confidence helps so much. Representation matters!
First, sooo proud of you. You embrace who you are naturally and love the way you keep learning as you go along. Keep on keeping on!! Looking forward to the halloween video, love this time of year too!!!! Good luck on he job interview!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
I love your voice! It reminds me of Fionna from Adventure Time lol.
I think you are absolutely gorgeous!!! I am 4 months post big chop now. It is interesting learning more about my hair. I have found out that l have three types of hair strands. It is so wild! Congrats on your job offer! Oh, how exciting!
please keep doing hair updates!! you are so fantastic, your energy is EVERything! and congratulations on the job offer.🤩
your beauty and confidence is radiating!!!
You’re so adorable. I love your channel. You should look into glycerin. Also even though it’s expensive the kinky curly line is the BOMB. Also V05... don’t sleep on it! And dollar store hair products
My dad is white, my mom is black but I am a dark skin kid. It’s nice to see that you are the opposite of me❤️❤️
OMG!! Another Arizonian
The Aussie Moist Conditioner and argan oil have been life savers!
ever since i stopped using hair products my hair has been growing SO MUCH
ALSO I HAVE THE SAME HAIRSTYLE AS YOU AWESOOOOOOME
I'm blasian with 3c-4a hair and people think I'm Hispanic or half white because blasians always have type 2 or 3a-3b hair. It made me insecure when I was young but now it's so full I love it ❤ fuck the haters! Mixed black people are very diverse in look. Genetics are more than just race ❤
Love you and your personality 😆😘 congrats on nailing that job!
Girl I'm screaming your hair has really grown. Ugh LOVES!!!!! :3
I’m so obsessed with how cute your voice is, it’s so unique! Your face is everything too. I’m not type 4 but I love your videos so much
Thank you!!
love this!!! Going to college soon and thought I couldn’t be bothered but you motivate me to never give up and keep working with it( no matter how hard it gets) ♥️♥️
How do you keep your hair manageble thru out the day? Especially at bed time. Are u wetting your hair everyday? I have the same hair and i only wear braids because my hair is too hard to handle. Unless its wet.
I'll do a daily hair routine video soon!
Your hair and uniqueness is stunning. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Have you ever been approached to do modeling?
I haven't!
@@SharmaineJoyel Imo you might want to consider it, the industry LOVES models that have mixed race features in unusual and unique ways.
I agree!! You should really consider modeling!!
I'm so touched by that story of your bf's son and you 😭♥️ So sweet
Wow youve had so much growth. I completely shaved my head 6 months ago n am at the 2-ish inch mark (1 inch in some spots, almost 3 in others). I chopped due to losing hair due to stress health issues n mistreatment of my hair.
don’t let any employers discriminate against you for your hair!
Your hair is so cute, i’m excited for you! ♥️😙
Im white and puerto rican and i have curly hair, my kids are white rican and black and they all have different hair textures! My 2 yr old has 4c hair, my 6 year old has 3c/4a hair, and my 8 yr old has a texture so weird its like between 4c and my and my daughters soft hair
I'm approaching my 1 year anniversary and I agree sooo much!! It's so LIBERATING
Beautiful message from a beautiful person. Good luck with your new job. TFS
I bet your hair would be beautiful in braids💕 love your fro💋
Yes you are unique and beautiful. Ignore the trolls, do you boo. Love your hair and your videos.
You look lovely!! You are surly giving off a glow of confidence :) I am enjoying learning with you. Our hair is different textures but our routines are very similar.
You are just so adorable and so quirky, everytime I come across your videos it's a treat!! Keep making great content darling!
LOL.. I admit since I started watching your videos, I only really read the first page of comment and from what I see, they are all positive and encouraging. Just focus on those.
Exactly! Happy healthy hair! Happy healthy you!
Love the 50 shades of beige 😂
