That Afro when you were a baby 😂❤️❤️
Your Dad 🤣 I love it honestly
@@CaramelCoils I love that picture!
Reminded me of Blue Ivy 😂
Hey
Reminds me of the movie little
Ok are we not going to talk about how freaking gorgeous she is EVEN AS A CHILD?!? That smile 😍😍😂
Micaiah Joy Lmao aww thank you 🤣❤️❤️
Oo
i love the way you talk.
olecia gray lol really?? I don’t think I’ve heard that one before haha thanks boo 💘💘
@@CaramelCoils Yep I agree. Slightly more eye contact and you'd be a fantastic public speaker. I could totally see you in Ted talks
Marina lol wow that’s funny, I actually did public speaking competitions back in middle school!
@@CaramelCoils that's so cool, I could never 😂 but yeah if you're interested in it you should know you'd be great :)
Marina Lol ooo not sure if I still have it honestly but thanks again ❤️
A friend taught you how to properly moisturize your hair... can you share the wisdom please??
Nyctophilia I haven’t forgot btw boo, it’s still in the works!
Caramel Coils PLEASE SIS, we need this. 😭😞
Caramel Coils we’re waiting 😭😭
Caramel Coils please share!
Caramel Coils PLEASE LET US KNOW
I remember girls telling me “you need a perm” back in high school. Now those bitches ask me for natural hair advice. I would be skeptical of any “professional” who uses relaxers on a 7 year old. Most reputable salons won’t do chemical services on anyone under 12.
Ann Dee 🤣🤣😭💀 I felt that first part SPIRITUALLY!! But looking back, I agree!
Ann Dee 😂😂😂 took me outtt😂
Your hair is gorgeous and sooooo thick and beautiful 😍😍😍🥰🥰
KornesiaLaShae aww thank you!! 🥰

Yes girl, I am no longer afraid of humidity anymore. I live in Florida and I remember the days I use to flat iron my hair a lot and I would always hate hate HATE the humidity here in Florida. I remember I begged my parents to move to New York so that my hair would stay straight 😂😂😂😂🤷🏾♀️.
But after awhile, my hair started to thin out because of all the heat damage I had so I went totally natural without any heat in my hair. And GIRL, ever since I started embracing my curls, I love love LOVE the humidity. When it is humid outside, it makes my Afro even bigger and fluffier. I love it!
Dolly Joseph Lmaoo exactly it was like a waste of money! But wow I’m so glad we decided to take this route. Even tho humidity can be a little annoying because it takes away from my definition sometimes, I wouldn’t want it any other way 😍
Caramel Coils yeah I hate it when I do twist outs, the humidity mess it up. But when I do ordinary afros, I love the humidity lol.
Nice meeting you
Dolly Joseph exactly yeah! Nice meeting you too boo, I hope you subscribed 🤗❤️
Caramel Coils 👍🏾
Caramel Coils It’s quite funny how you responded to this post but not to the other post that specifically asked how did you properly moisturize your hair and the products used. You did all that talking to tell us what? All you’re concerned about is subscribers. What a rip- off. I wasted 14:37 minutes out my day to watch you rant about basically nothing. You were no help at all.
She had an amazing afro as a kid 💕
Jane Namuli thank youu ❤️
Such a cutie! Afro was bigger than she was😂😂❤️
Its very usual for one person to have different curl patterns on different sections of the head... I don't think it's because of heat. the front of my hair has a looser curl pattern that the back n I've never pressed my hair.
Kinky Kitten yes someone also told me it’s is from wearing slick pony tails a lot
@@dcdand But I never wear ponytails (always in mini twists). I dont think it works like that. If it were so, then we would be able to permanently stretch our hair with tension lol.
Okay makes sense I just wanted to share what I heard
@@dcdand lmao wat
yup i have different curl patterns too. i don’t straighten my hair or wear tight ponytails.
your hair and that volume is 😍. I remember the days of that damage wash n go that everyone used to tell me looked good 😒. Compare now it was a hot mess.
PunkGirlRock lmaoo you feel me!! A hottt mess 😭
But thanks boo 😘😘
Your story is like “nappily ever after”....and u remind me of the actress (forgot her name😭)....your hair is gorgeous btw💓
Venus Baby sanaa Latham
Luv_n Light yes THANK YOU💓
lol I’ve heard that a few times! Thanks boo ☺️
"When you nurture something & you start to care for it, you'll see the results. & it will began to flourish." I LOVE THAT. Thanks for sharing sis. I too love my natural hair. I've only been fully natural for almost 7 months, yet I have fallen in love with the journey. 😍😍😍😍
LaMesha Hale yess! Congrats on starting your journey, this is only the beginning! It only gets better from here 😩😍
@@CaramelCoils I CANNOT WAIT!!!
I've been relaxed since I was 5. I'm a senior in college now and I'm finally going natural. I guess.. I've been natural for 5 months by an accident, because I kept too many protective styles and wigs on during this year that I did not realize that I have not relaxed in 5 months. My hair is so pretty and soft. I'm ready.
Foxy Brown yess I love to hear this 😭 You got this boo! Do yourself the favor ❤️❤️❤️
Caramel Coils i did not realize how tired I was when i typed that whole comment 🤣🤣 glad you were able to understand me, but thank you! The journey begins 😭💜
Foxy Brown only up from here! ☺️
your transformation is AMAAAAAZINGGG!! i love how your hair color changes too!! so beautiful 😍
Thanks babes 🥰
Your hair is pretty. I wish I had a lot of volume like I have length
Sometimes I wish I had more length & less volume lol so I hear you, but thank you 💕💕
You might need layers
Pink Link My hair is already cut in layers
Caramel Coils oh no, not you lol!
Pink Link lmao oops, my bad
This is probably the realest video I’ve seen in a while! I have heat damaged hair in the front, but my middle and back are THICK. So I’m trying this journey again but with only protective styles for three months. Wish me luck!
Yess, got this boo! 💪🏾💪🏾Just make sure to keep your hair moisturized in the mean time! Keep me updated 💘
As soon as I saw how thick your hair was as a baby, I was like aight time to click off 😭 can't relate
Butterfly Beauty 🤣🤣 stop ittt
You’re hair is soooo gorgeous...I’m 14 and recently just started on another hair journey...i big chopped a lottt of my hair off and im so excited to see my growth , although I’m not very confident in this point in time i know it will be worth it in the future...if you are reading this and you are thinking about going natural do it!! It is an amazing feeling to take pride in your hair sure it’s a hassle but it’s self care!!🤷🏽♀️😖
ʀʜᴏɴ ʀʜᴏɴ Aww thanks girl 😘😘 I’m so happy for you!!
Has your hair grown a lot ?🥰
Breanna Yè yes it has grown a wholeeee lot i’m proud of my growth tbh :))
ʀʜᴏɴ ʀʜᴏɴ okay thanksss
Hey how much has it grown two years later?
Waaaaait a damn minute I found my damn hair type twin 😭 But your hair is longer than mine but it motivates me to take better care of it so it can grow😊
Kennedy Whitaker ooo hey twin!! 😝 But yess that was the goal 🙌🏾 the more you do it I promise you your hair will flourish!
First of all girl you’re beautiful, second of all your hair is so beautiful.
Gelsforshort aww thank youu ❤️💕
I was just thinking am I the only one thinking like she is so beautiful like what the fuc
What an interesting hair journey!! Your looks beautiful! There are so many Black Hair care products available now vs 15-20 years ago and of course RUclips has been extremely helpful as well! 🥳🌸🌸🌸🌸

Genesy Valdez yess, do it! Your hair will thank you in the long run I promise

This video hit a soft spot , the ptsd from the hair journey is real but so rewarding 💜
this is probably my third time watching this video since you've first posted it and I love it so much!! my favorite part is towards the end where you talk about being unapologetic about your hair and your journey. I can relate to so much of this video!
I can’t definitely say, as much as i’ve already known i learned soo much from this one video. I really appreciate you sharing your journey and knowledge because even when is natural girls know our hair there’s still always so much to learn. so thank you❤️and congrats to you!
It’s 3:33 mins in and I had to stop to say…how proud I am of you!!! Your mom should be soooooo proud!!! I pray my daughters grow up to be like you!! So confident and assure of yourself…even through the hard times!!! That’s deep and real and I can relate! I am Guatemalan and my hair is crazy…I’m in between trying to figure out my hair better…I’m so thankful for your video! It was from the heart!!! Much love!!!
I am so thankful you made this video. My natural hair journey is very similar to yours and this has really opened my eyes not to mention that we have very similar hair types so I'm glad you made this 🙏
i'm convinced.. it's been 2 months without a relaxer and it's driving me nuts but imma push thru haha
and we go to the same school! go bulls
Danielle Alizia Yaass, I got faith in you boo! You got this! But aay go bulls 🤘🏾😝
OOoh I remember those days! Yes you gotta keep pushing! Set a goal. No heat for a whole 2 years. You gotta go least two years without it. I told and believed in myself that I would go natural, and I did! It’s been 3 years now without anyyy heat!
Ayden Sumerall woow you’re a trooper! 🤧 3 years? That’s a loong time! But I’m happy for you boo! Where are you now on your natural hair journey?
Caramel Coils Only 3 years now. Next year it will be 4 years in July! It’s pretty long, I’m just soo scared to flat iron it. I really love my hair in its curly state and seeing others coils or curly hair. It’s like an obsession for me now 😂
JESUS loves you. JESUS is your king. GOD made you wonderful and beautiful in his image.
Your hair is gorgeous. This gives me motivation to keep going on this natural hair journey. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Everyone's hair is beautiful, it's really just about how you care for it that brings it to the healthiest point!
I think I just found my hair twin! So excited to be going natural seeing how yours turned out.
You are adorable!! From a baby to now!! I watched the whole video and you dropped so many nuggets about hair and life, sis!! Well done! Thanks for sharing your honest journey! I’ve just started mine at 42…had my first relaxer at 15 and ready to go back to being natural. I’m excited :)
It's amazing the dramatic difference once you started moisturizing/conditioning properly! You and your hair are gorgeous!
Tamara Yvette isn’t it?! Thank you ☺️😘
I feel what you had to go through
I'm going through that very journey right now and it's tough. I used to get relaxers because when I was younger I felt like I was never able to style my hair how I wanted and it was always a struggle. recently as my natural hair started growing I noticed how healthy it looked compared to my relaxed and damaged hair. I want to just cut it all off and start over but like what you said in your video, I didn't exactly want to be bald. Hopefully I can do better with my new growth and learn to embrace my natural curls instead of hide them. Its nice to know that I'm not the only one who has suffered through this awkward stage of hair.
YOUR STORY IS SO DAMN RELATABLE! THANK YOU!
I feel like her channel is gonna blow up one day
Level3Karen ‘ Lol speak it into existence for me! Fingers crossed 🤞🏾💓
Your hair is so beautiful!! All your hard work def paid off!
I love this video so much! ❤️ a lot of people don’t understand what black girls go through with their hair. We are the real definition of beauty ❤️
At alll! So glad you enjoyed boo ❤️❤️
Wow, we went to the same University 🤘🏾💚💛 finally found someone with a similar hair type. Your content is actually helpful. Thank you sis 🙏🏾
Your hair is so pretty !!!!😍
Mia Averie thank you 🥰
Her voice is so beautiful and she is too😍💛💛💯
This video really touches me. I've been natural for 3,5 years now, but I used to relax my hair, and so did my niece. As black woman we are taught that our hair is nappy, frizzy, not professional or just wild. Me and my niece started relaxing our hair at age 10, because all our straight haired friends would pick on us because of our hair.
I am shocked at how similar our relaxed/natural hair journey is. I hope this will inspire a lot of people.
Honestly this is the first transition video that I actually truly enjoy watching !!! Keep up the good work💕
Franchesca Pichardo Aw wow that means a lot!! Thank you & will do 🥰❤️
So happy you finally uploaded this. Ily and am happy to have been here for the journey
Michelle Mosri yesss happy to have had you with me sis, if anyone truly knows my struggle it’s you ❤️❤️
I have been searching for somebody with the same curl pattern as me for so long 😭😭I’m so glad I found you
Milktoast The Siamese cat yess welcome to the coilition! 🌀🥰
Yes sis😭😭😭I saw your video in a suggested list. It’s beautiful! Never too late to keep getting inspiration as I grow my natural hair. Hair goals😍😍😍😍. I want to wear my own hair at my wedding way in the future and for graduation lol. Thank you for this blessing 💜.
Thank youu 😭😘 so glad I could inspire you boo ❤️
Enjoyed the video! You and your hair are BEAUTIFUL!!! I, too, wish you had shared your secret to moisturizing. This is encouragement for my daughter and I. THANKS!
this is the first time I've seen a Black girl on youtube with my curl pattern. I'm a Black girl too and was really surprised to see my natural curl pattern like this and I really love it. 🥰
My hair is going through the same steps you had and we have the same hair type. I desperately need to know the steps of wisdom your friend gave you !!! 🤍☹️
This video is SUPER encouraging! I literally searched “stringy natural hair” and found this because...if you don’t know much about natural hair types then you don’t know what to search for! My journey has been long and slow but I’m glad to see a success story with a hair type more similar to mine.
Brandy Smith Yay I’m so glad I could help! ☺️ I know the struggle ALL too well 😭 If you have any specific questions about your journey or video requests just lmk 💓
You are SO right about the liberation feeling❤
She’s so positive. I love it
💘💘
Today is literally my first day I’ve decided I want too go natural . I have a lot of hair like yourself and you just made me feel so much more comfortable with the decision . Your gorgeous btw ! 😍😍 hair goals
That makes me so happy!! & thank you 🥰 Sorry I’m just seeing this but how it’s going for you so far??
Caramel Coils your welcome 😍 and no worries . But yes the journey is going good so far !! No heat has touched this head 😂
Awww Steph you’re so inspiring! You make me want to wear my natural hair more!! 😭
Christina Benoit ❤️❤️😭
Do itttt 🤩
Ugh i was waiting for a demo of how to properly moisture ur hair
You came a long way!❤❤
wow your hair looks great!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey! Mine is VERY similar, I got my 1st relaxer at age 5 & never learned how to manage my natural texture until I was well into adulthood. Once I stopped the chemicals, I was getting my hair pressed regularly which resulted in heat damage so I went "undercover" in wigs for 3yrs to grow my hair out. I finally decided to press my hair to get my ends trimmed in 2017 and gave been heat free ever since. I've had a setback cuz I got Deva cut twice & didn't realize how much length gets chopped off in the process just to maintain the shape until I pressed my hair last month and had to get inches cut to make it even. My hair was bra length in 2017 and now it just skims my shoulders 😔 Lesson learned! Now I'm on #operationregrowth & won't let any mishaps happen again.
Woow you’ve been through it 😩 sheesh! But all that matters is where you are now boo, loving the positive energy! Seems like you got it all under control to me 💪🏾❤️
I’m in her high school phase right now and after watching this I feel more confident that I can get my hair like hers
Your hair is beautiful!!😍😭🙌
Loved this video! I really felt that when you talked about being scared to get your hair wet lol your hair is so beautiful 😍✨
Amanda D'Souza yess lol thank you 😘💛
Finally someone new to watch that I actually like ✊🏻😻 you did great
Aww lol thanks boo 😘😘
9:58 - 10:22 really came for my head 😭,, i never took the time to appreciate my hair and always compared my hair to others,, hearing those words really opened my eyes and is currently helping me with my hair growth journey as of now since i decided to cut my hair for a fresh start,, thanks 🥺 .
Nerigga_ I’ve been there so I know, & it’s okay. It’s great that you can acknowledge it and just work on it. So glad I could help you, you got this girl! No doubt about it 😌❤️
thank you 🥺❤️ !
I love my natural hair
I love what god gave to me
As French from Algeria
My hair is part of my identity !
Your are beautiful !!!!
liliciel bleu fr thank youu 💓💓
i saw your pic on twitter of your before &’ after so i was surprised you had a vid on how you achieved the growth. your hair looks amazinggg def gave me hope to keep going
Yess you got this boo!! 🥰💪🏾
You give honest and helpful advice. Your hair looks healthy and awesome. Thank You.
😊💖💯
Thank you, I appreciate that ☺️🧡
@@CaramelCoils you are so very welcome. 😊💖✌
This entire channel is so informative. I went natural about two years ago and have never dyed it, applied heat, or chemicals. I buzzed it and I’ve never had my natural hair this long, I’d say we were hair twins but yours looks so much more defined and healthy. I haven’t cut it since the big chop and I’m not sure if that’s what the issue is😔 I’ve started deep conditioning once a week and using castor oil as a sealing oil, and the Shea Moisture castor oil leave in. I have no idea what to do with it. I co wash once a week and use a moisturizing shampoo every two weeks. But I am STRUGGLING
This video is so good, we have the same exact hair type. Thank you 💜
Wow I watched this at the right time, you are inspiring me to push on with my kinky hair as well. Thank you :)
Ndeye Thioubou my pleasure! You got this boo 💘💪🏾
Patience! Embrace your journey guys :)
loved every minute of this!! 💚
Chloé-Ana Braidy so glad 💘💘
Girl you really are hair goals. I love the curly bang look. I was 2ce a week also. Shampoo 1ce a week and cowash every midweek.
Daisy Flower aw thanks boo 🥰
Love this journey!! Definitely an inspiration!🥰
CYNsational! Aw so glad, that was the goal! 🥰
Thank you for sharing the good and the bad. Really helpful!
michboyd10 Of course, so glad! 😊
Wheww your curls, fro and straightened hair are allll beautiful 😍 I can’t wait to take care of my hair again and stop with these wigs
RaeLaRoux thank you, means a lot 💕😭 But yess sis what are we waiting for? 👀👀👀
@@CaramelCoils the length. im trying to stay in protective styles to drop inches on everyone lmao
13:18 is exactly what I said until I saw you. We pretty much have the same hair type and its seems to act the same way (although my hair is not yet at the fully flourished and well moisturized stage it's almost there) and its taken me so long to figure out what works for me because no one's recommend products work for me so I'm grateful to have found you 😊
Maya Onyema aww so glad I could help 🥰❤️ & before you know it boo!
I saw this and said “literally me” every 10 seconds! I’ve been straightening my hair my whole life up until now (25 yes old) and am finally transitioning to natural hair. I’m in that awkward stage of trying to bring my curls back to life and I hope I’m doing it right! I’m wondering how long your journey took, from when you decided to stop with the heat, to when your curls were brought back to life? I’m only 2 months in, and I’m struggling with keeping the faith 😭😩
I could honestly cry right now thank you
Why? 🙁
And plus I love your beautiful hair🥰🥰
Your skin is perfect!!
Not anymore 😭 but thanks boo
I'm 12 and I want to start with the natural hair journey, and I already did the big chop, I'm starting from scratch.
This is the situation im in now and im cutting my hair in summer to start my natural hair journey ♥️
From this point on I'm going natural 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 thank you for the inspiration
Pina Pineapples YAASS lol omg. So glad my video could do that for you! You got this boo 👏🏾💓
Thank you so much for taking the time for reminding, encouraging and educating us that have decided go on this journey.
And I’m here to say it’s never too late because I had been relaxing for many many years for many reasons among those, my type of work and hectic schedule. Now that I’m retired I’m able to take my time and pamper my hair as I should and be the best me I can be. And you’re right, RUclips has been a great resource and I’ve all but become a bit of a nerd and now keep a journal and take notes that relates to me and my journey because all of our journey are unique.
Keep up the great work, you just earned another subscriber. Blessings.
funnymom7 It was a pleasure honestly! That’s actually a great tip, journaling your hair journey! Sometimes it’s so hard to keep up with what your hair likes/dislikes, especially when you’re experimenting with different products, methods, etc. Really appreciate your support ❤️
She has combo hair!!!😍😍😍
you are gorgggggggg you hair is glowing ♥️♥️♥️
love this video 💛 you speaking all factss
Taemar I’m so glad! Appreciate you for tuning in 💕
New subbie💕💕💕💕 u shud definitely do a video on how u bounce back from relaxed to natural tips
Best transition video I’ve seen !!
Vitalpulse _ 🧡🧡
😍😍😍ugh, looooove your hair 💙
Thank you this gave me hope to go natural my hair is currently straight it’s really heat damaged and it’s straight my hair is naturally really curly and this video gives me hope that i can get my natural hair back ❤️❤️
Adri Santini yess, that was the goal! You can do it boo. Just be patient, consistent, & motivated 💕
Caramel Coils thank you I’ve been wanting to straighten my hair again for the past week but your video made me realize that its going to be hard but i should continue if i want my hair natural again
I love your hair! You have inspired me to try again!
Pamjay Jay yess 🙌🏾🙌🏾 if you really put your mind to it you can do it ❤️ I have faith in you
Omg this was great and btw ur so pretty!!
Love love love it! Thank you
Your hairs mad beautiful, I love those little tight curls
Thank youu ☺️
I feel like we have similar stories. I was natural as a young child. But eventually I started getting perms religiously. Then around 7th/8th grade I went natural but I would get blow outs every two weeks. Now I don’t go to the salon regularly but I blow out my own hair every two weeks. I mostly wear my hair straight but will sometimes wear my natural hair especially in the summer. In the past it was damaged but I could still figure out how to get my curls to look pretty good. But this year... my natural hair is worse then ever (and I bleached it ombré 🤦🏾♀️). I’m so sad. I really want to embark on a journey for my natural hair but it’s hard to put down the heat! 😭 Your video has really inspired me!
You have a new subscriber! I love your personality and your journey!!!
Aww yay, welcome boo ☺️😘
you are absolutely gorgeous!!! that beautiful natural hair and no make up???? Holy moly! Yass girl!!!
Aww you’re too sweet!! Thank you 😭🥰
@@CaramelCoils Just transitioning to natural. Thanks for the tips. Hoping to acquire the fullness like yours ( but totally embracing my own hair type).
So beautiful! Love it 😍
Heybrownskinnn thanks boo 🥰
We have soooo much in common . From the peeerrrrrrmmmm to the heat damage to the college starting overrrrrrr to the more issues 😂😂 and finally getting it right !! 🥰🖤🥰
