Dolce! Love this topic of unconventional ways in promoting healthier longer hair ie. sitting outside (sun exposure does wonders for overall internal health too) Your hair is looking fabulousss BTW💕
Hairlicious!! What’s up, girl?! Thank you so much! 🤗 Glad you enjoyed the vid. You’re absolutely right: the sun does wonders for our hair and overall health, indeed! 💁🏾♀️🌞👍🏾
Ladies!!!! It is the Holy Trinity!!! You all are saving my relaxed hair!!!🙌🏽😉 I came across Hairlicious and subscribed about an hour ago. Then, the HOLY GHOOOSSST!!! led me to be a newbie and subbie here🤭! I am learning so much!!! I did not want to go natural. But the one thing I did know is my hair is my crown and she needed care. Thank you for showing me how to do so but allowing yourselves to be so willing to be so free to share. And supportive, of one another as well!✊🏾🤍 the sisterhood is needed!
Good Evening Dolce. Thanks for the tips! You mentioned that you wear your hair out 98% of the time. I've worn my hair up 98% of the time for years to protect it in order to retain length. Not sure if that's working for me. If it was, I would have fairytale length hair by now! I'm going to free my hair and wear it down more often to enjoy the growth journey!
Good evening, Judy! You are more than welcome. Yes, live a little and “free the curls”! lol Enjoy your hair and start living your best hair life. You deserve it!
Funny enough, you just showed me that I have not been combing my hair enough. In an effort to keep manipulation down, I have been only combing my hair once a week on wash days. No wonder my hair was always tangled 🤣 I am literally off to comb my hair!
Your channel has been so helpful to me. Over the past year, you've seriously helped me cut off all the nonsense complicated steps and products that were weighing my hair journey down. Thank Dearie.
BTW, I have been visiting on and off for over 1 year. I just recently decided to subscribe and start commenting so that you know how much of a help you truly are. God bless.
Hey, Beverly! Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate you and it truly makes me happy to know that my vids have been a help to you in your healthy hair journey. My pleasure, dearie! 😉
Hope you have a wonderful holiday!! And, yes, go comb that hair! lol 💁🏾♀️♥️
Hey Dolce! Good call on trimming the edges, and nape area. They are easily overlooked due to the heavy concentration on the longer and fuller sections of our hair. 😉 Great tips to follow..👌🏾
Hey, Sandra! You are right: we often forget all about our edges/perimeter, but they’re just as important to keep healthy as the rest of our hair. 💁🏾♀️👍🏾
Hi Dolce, I just discovered your channel yesterday, also subscribed. I have been binge watching your videos and absolutely love the content. I also love the fact that you wear your hair out just about always, I think we should be celebrating and enjoying the fruits of our labor. I don’t do a lot of protective styling either, though I do get kind of lazy at times but my hair is out about 75% of the time. With your help on truly building my regimen I will wearing my hair out 99.9% of the time, it is a little above bra strap right now and thriving pretty good. Went back to relaxer April of this year after being natural since 2015 even with a stint of 16 months of locs that I combed out without damaging or cutting my hair. Congratulations on moving to mid back lane hope to move there real soon myself. Continued blessings to you. 😇
Hey, Kimberly! Thank you so much! And I totally agree: what’s the point in putting all this work into your hair just to hide it at the end of the day? I LOVE wearing it out and enjoying it in full! 💁🏾♀️
I hope you continue to find the videos helpful. Many blessings to you as well and WELCOME ABOARD!! 🥳
@@DolceDawn Thanks 😊

Love your channel I'm 61 and I'm on a long hair journey
Hey, Debra! Age ain’t nothing but a number and it’s never too late, so let’s get this long hair, girl!! #Letsgo
@Dolce Dawn definitely love your channel I've been taking hair supplements since 1983 so I've always been a fan about my hair goals so your channel is a A PLUS
@@debrasmith4623 So happy you’re enjoying the channel. Thank you!
@@debrasmith4623You sound like me..I'm 62!
The edge trimming was a revelation to me. Thank you.
Hey, Mezzogirl17! You are so welcome!
Great video as always. IMO you left out of the list the most unique and special way to grow your hair: with heat and your hair out. No one does that. I think you should reiterate this because I know you've talked about this before many times but people don't realize heat isn't the problem, it's the wrong use of it: flat iron the hair more than once a week to eliminate flyways, keep the hair flat iron for 2 or 3 weeks ( that means no deep condition and moisture for too long) not using enough heat protectant... I don't know, maybe a video about wrong ways to use heat or something like that as you're the example that you can use it, enjoy it and get long hair. Plus you don't need to moisturize and seal because the hair is already sealed, something that doesn't happen when hair is sir dried, it gets too dry. That's a big difference. Just an idea. Thanks for the video.
Hey, Carbonet! Thanks for your suggestion and I hear you, but like you stated, I have talked about heat and M&S a few times before and wanted to cover some of the little things I do that I’ve never discussed. Something different, you know? But I do appreciate your feedback (as always! 👍🏾).
@@DolceDawn i know and you talked about but it a lot (girl i don't miss any of your videos) but trust me it's your thing
@@___Victoria_sunny Noted! ♥
Thank you for these tips!
You're so welcome, Syokau! ♥️
Hope you're having a good weekend Dolce 🙋🏾♂️. Loving the shirt btw!!
Aww, thank you! Hope you have a good one, too! (And I’m glad you like the shirt - thanks! 😉♥️)
Thanks for this wonderful content, best is that it’s all very easy to implement.
You’re so welcome, Livy! It is absolutely my pleasure. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate it! ♥️
Im loving the sneaky❤️
I’m so glad, LadyQuo! 🤗👍🏾
Just loved the vibes and decided to become a subbie lol
Hey, Mugisha! Thank you! And WELCOME ABOARD!! 🥳
Subscribed because your personality is everything and these tips were amazing. I've been at a loss on what to do with my 4c hair. I've tried so many different products lately because I've been wanting to wear my hair out and give it a break from protective styling. But nothing is helping. So I was debating on doing a relaxer again XD This video made me feel a little better about using heat or a relaxer. I wanted to get as good as tips as I could before doing either so I don't ruin my hair like before.
Hey, Sharea! Aww… thank you so much and WELCOME ABOARD!! 🥳 I’m so glad you enjoyed this vid. Yes, take your time in deciding what’s best for you. Whether you stay natural or go relaxed, I truly believe that my core regimen tips can be successfully applied across the board: a good foundation of hair products, heat no more than once a week and trim regularly/on a schedule. But I’d love to know what you end up choosing to do, so please keep me updated and let me know!
I do trim them as well most often, we tend to forget those areas and thanks for sharing dear
You are so right, Otismadaline. Outta sight, outta mind… Can’t neglect those areas!
Love it Thank you for sharing
My pleasure, JL!
Thanks for the info 😊
Anytime, Jammie!! 😉👍🏾
Wow great tips pretty hair
Thanks so much! ♥️
Instead of tugging I use my back massager on my scalp once or twice a week to stimulate my scalp. You’ve made great progress! Really enjoy your vids.
Hey, SDot2385! I don’t think I’ve heard that one before. Interesting... Thanks for sharing!
Hi! I am a professional hairdresser and I absolutely loved watching this video ty 💖 good job
Oh, wow! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you so much!! ♥️
@@DolceDawn Ya'Welcome!!❤
Beautiful hair
Thank you, Cherry!! 😊♥️
Interesting enough, I do 2 of the things on your list . I love to get sun on my head, and I also tug. It's mostly at my crown, because that's where it feels the most good at lol.
Yep, the sun can be so beneficial to us, including our hair. And, wow… I thought I was the only one who “tugged”. lol Good to know I’ve got company! 😉👍🏾
your hair is sooo pretty omg. I want my hair to look like yours (I went back to relaxers yesterday). I'd love to hear about some of the setbacks you have had along the way.
Hey, S Wisdom! Thank you! The two setbacks that I had, I made vids about that you may want to check out (Making the Cut and Mini Hair Setback). But maybe I’ll make a vid going over the both of those setbacks as well as some other hurdles I’ve had in my previous hair journeys. Hmm… 🤔
@@DolceDawn ill check out that video. And another question please! I read that keeping your hair in the same position or style can give you fishtail breakage. Is that really true if I keep my hair in a loose low ponytail (ends tucked away)? I relaxed yesterday and I'm used to not touching my hair for long periods. Switching up my hairstyle often is something I want to avoid, in lieu of potential breakage and drying my hair out.
Right now I'm so scared to touch my hair for some reason lol. It's not breaking or anything, but it feels so delicate, you know? I'll get used to it being relaxed soon. Even though its short now, I'm so glad I still have lots of volume.
@S Wisdom Aww… you seem genuinely excited about your newly relaxed hair and I think it’s wonderful! But I don’t want you to be scared about its new state; I want you to ENJOY EVERY BIT OF IT!
With regard to ponytails and breakage, I will say that I’VE never experienced it and I used to wear my hair in bun ponytails all the time during my first hair journey. I think you should be OK as long as the ponytails aren’t tight and you use seamless ponytail holders (NO rubber bands or holders with metal joints, please!).
As you get used to your hair, you will find what works for you and what doesn’t, but the basics will remain the same: quality products + good regimen (i.e. the frequency/use of the quality products and tools) + trimming schedule = healthy hair.
Please don’t hesitate to ask me any further questions. I’m excited to hear how you progress in your new “hair venture”! Go… be free! Relax and ENJOY YOUR HAIR!!! 💁🏾♀♥
@@DolceDawn this sounds good! And yes, I have some oversized satin scrunchies that I use and it doesn't catch the hair tight so u think it'll be okay. I didn't know how to take care of my relaxed hair when I first had it (before going back natural) but now I do, and I'm excited for the journey.
One more question please!
There is a bit of hair at the ends that are still sorta natural (maybe the hairdresser didn't smooth it out enough?). I'm wondering if I can run some relaxer on it and leave it on for a little bit before washing the relaxer out of my hair. I'm thinking of doing this on my very first self relax attempt in January or February (depending on how long I can stretch).
What do you think?
How long do you stretch?
@@swisdom9117 Yes, the scrunchie should be just fine.
As far as your ends go, I’m hoping that you would have had a trim before January and, if so, you shouldn’t have to worry about putting relaxer on them (if it’s the very ends, I wouldn’t do that anyway, JMO.)
I relax my hair every 7-8 weeks as I find the longer I wait, the drier my hair gets… which is no bueno. I’ve gone as long as 10, but never over.
It’s funny you mention tugging because I do scalp messages but also without thinking caught myself also tugging at my hair! Interesting
Ha! Interesting, indeed! Yes, I used to tug my hair a lot in the back and really believe it has helped that section to grow.
The Dolce Praise break is 👩🍳💋🤣
😂 Yes, rjmami8508! I feel another praise break coming on… 💃🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
omg! I tug at my roots too!
but mainly because im feeling my new growth and I think they're soooo cute, and I like to run my fingers around the curves of my curls and just...feel them out... im not pulling..its just a gentle tug to see the curl bounce.
Yes!! I like to feel the crinkles in my new growth, too, so I totally get it! Just a gentle tug and then I stretch them out to see how much new growth I have… 🤗
Good vídeo ma'am!! I know you said it in your last video but you will not try to reach waistline length? Thanks for the video.
Thank you, Carbonet! I never had a desire for waist length. I dunno. Just seems like it would be a lot to deal with…
Just came across you for the first time. I so appreciate your advice and input!! I'm natural but not loving it. I struggle with my hair, it's long but very thin and tangles all the time.. I plan to get it relaxed and can't wait. I will subscribe to your channel.. I love your hair by the way. 🎯
Hey, Rosie! So glad you found me and that you’re loving the vids. Thank you for your kind words… ☺️ If you do end up getting a relaxer, please let me know how everything goes. And WELCOME ABOARD!! 🥳
Hello Dolce, you’re hair is beautiful 😍. Do you workout?
If yes, what do you do to your hair to keep it from your face and back? I sweat a lot in my hair when I do a rigorous workout.., I can’t imagine wearing it out like that to workout.
Hey, Dominique! Thank you! Yes, I do workout occasionally and usually just put it in a ponytail when I do. I do have a video called Let’s Get Physical that goes into more detail, if interested. 😉
Do you wear protective styles? If so, would you do a video of your protective or low manipulation styles?
Hey, Mezzogirl17! I normally don’t wear protective styles, but I do plan on doing a vid where I show off a couple of styles soon. 👍🏾
I love your shirt where did you get it
Thanks! I got it from godisdope.com.
Thank you for the tips...recently relaxed again..and loving it! ❤️ I agree with you on wearing your hair out...just enjoy your hair! Thanks for the tips on trimming the edges...🤣 🤣 🤣 mental image of you pulling the hair like those long haired Cabbage Patch Dolls...🤣 Won't hurt to try....New Subscriber from Jamaica!
My pleasure, Beauty and Di Budget! Yes, ma’am - trimming has works wonders for my hair all around, including my edges! lol Try it. You’ll see! 😉
And WELCOME ABOARD!! 🥳♥️
Are you still liking your hair dryer you purchased a while ago?
Yes! I still like the ceramic dryer, especially about 5wks post relaxer when my roots become more prominent as it helps to lay them down and be more manageable.
Do you recommend braids for length retention
Hey, Nadira! As long as they’re not too tight and you don’t keep them in too long, I don’t see why not.
Great tips. I have a question... I hear so many push protective styles to minimize manipulation. Do you ever wear or promote protective styles? I have my own opinion but wanted to hear your thoughts.
Hey, Tanya! I do not find fault with protective styles as the right ones do work. However, I do NOT wear protective styles as I like to enjoy the fruits of my labor and wear my hair out about 98% of the time.
@@DolceDawn I completely understand. Those that I've known who use them tend to cause more setbacks than length retention. Like you, I'd rather enjoy all the hard work put in for healthier hair. Thanks!
@@DolceDawn can you do a more in depth video on how you do this while also retaining your length. I want to wear my hair out more than just a few times a year but I'm afraid if I do I'll just end up causing it to break off.
@@ebqueen396 Hey, Eboney! I do have some vids, including my regimen videos (listed above in description box) that show exactly how I’m able to do this, but I would break it down simply into four points: 1. Low manipulation (do not overly fuss/comb/brush hair) 2. Wrap/protect hair at night with silk/satin scarf or bonnet 3. Use heat ONCE a week 4. Keep ends trimmed. Now, I will wear my hair up if I’m wearing a wool sweater or something that will snag my hair. But these points, along with my holy grail products, allow me to enjoy my hair and wear it out 98% of the time. 😉👍🏾
@@tanyas1644 You’re welcome! ♥
Hello lady dolce.just a question I need a little help here.when shopping for a flat iron what should I look for. So sorry u can't get the jif. Please and thanks 😊
Hey, Elizabeth! When shopping shopping for a flat iron, you want either ceramic and/or tourmaline and in my Building Your Regimen series, I have a video called “Styling and Profiling - 5 Fabulous Flat Irons” that goes into more detail, if interested. 👍🏾
@@DolceDawn thanks very much lady dolce.
@@elizabethmcfarquhar1826 You are so welcome, Lady Elizabeth. ♥
Hi Dolce hope all is well. My hair is doing Great I am seeing the thickness come together. Here is my dilemma. When I flat iron my hair my curl look Great. But when I wrap and wear my waiting scarf etc. They next morning they are hardly any curls or a curl at the end just straight. It looks Good but I do want a bump. My ends are Trimmed. I think I could be over doing it with the Paul Mitchell serum. Do you think that could be it? I don’t sweat in my hair either.
Hey, Twinkle Star! Happy New Year!
It could be too much serum and/or not enough holding spray/product. Relaxed hair can easily become overwhelmed and limp when being heavy handed with moisturizers, oils, etc., and a little serum goes a long way.
But let me know what the culprit ends up being and how everything turns out.
@@DolceDawn Awww thanks for your quick response Dolce. I will let you know how my hair turn out next wash day. I got remember the nexus holding spray also for next time. Have a wonderful Day!
@@twinklestar6942 My pleasure, Twnkle! Yes, pls update me. Thanks!
Hello Again Dolce I couldn’t wait for the end of the week so I can wash my Hair. I use less serum I didn’t overdo it this time. However after I flat iron my hair and wrap it. Before bed I took it down to see if it had any life /bounce I did however notice again it was more bounce but less curl. I like the fact my hair wasn’t weigh down. But I had no curls. So I’ m thinking to toss my flat iron. When I was flat ironing my hair the curl wouldn’t hold. I realize I was making way to many passes with the flat iron on my hair. So what I decided to do was take my temperature on my flat iron up a notch. And that was what I needed . Now I can do less passes . Two at the most and the curl and bounce is there. I wrapped and I can’t wait to see what it look like on the morning.
@@twinklestar6942 I’m so happy you were able to figure out what the issue was. That’s whassup!
Good way to get vit D
Yes, ma’am! An excellent source!
My hair grows best with natural products and protein 🙂🖤
Hey, Ona! Awesome! Sounds like you really know what’s best for your hair… 💁🏾♀️👍🏾
Hi couldn't you just take vitamin d
Sure, I could… but why do that when I can get a healthy dose of it straight from the source? 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😉🤗♥️♥️♥️
