This is real! My 4 year old started falling out, in the back, in April of this year. I started to fast and pray , added some new hair regimen which include aloe vera; and now it's just amazing how the hair has grown tremendously. Prayer works!
And what I have come to realise, is that when people are envious of someone or something they will try to find the bad, even when there is nothing bad about it. I LOVE your videos 💯💙
Mary Hercules Hi Mercy i love watching your videos beauty in the eyes of be beholder am interested of getting you products natural oil and rice water. thanks for sharing your video's.
Mercy, I have watched your videos. Recently my hair thinned out during the pandemic when we're able to go to the salon. I have a natural stylist that uses design essential products on my hair. I use say ajaa natural oils , moisturizer and jamaican castor oil. My dermatologist gave me a shampoo that has salicytic acid in it for psoriasis. I noticed it has other ingredients that I couldn't pronounce. Needless, to say , my hair thinned out and I am sooo hurt. I have done the big chop twice. So now , I am wearing it natural without flat ironing it. My stylist doesn't use rice water. I do go under the hydrator every two weeks. The name of the shampoo is Keralyt5. I will never use this again and leave on my hair for 30 minutes. How can I get my hair back thick and shoulder length where it was? Cathy g.
It just amazes me how so many black people think that black dark skin women can't have long hair. I was told the same about my own which is only shoulder. length. Interesting
It's sad. My grandmother is dark skin and hair to shoulders at 86 years old, not lot of gray and natural color brown. I wish she stop relaxing her hair so much because her scalp is irritated.
Thank you Queen Mercy!! You are Beautiful, we as Black women have to learn to embrace our Natural Beauty, like you said encourage and support one another. I'm pass 60 now and I stopped relaxing my hair 2yrs ago, it has grown, but not as rapid as I would like. I've gotten some great tips from your videos, so please keep doing what you are doing, some of us really appreciate your knowledge and journey. Also I'm from the Natural Era where Black is Beautiful and we are Black and Proud!! I'm so glad to see young beautiful black women; all shades come back to our Natural Beauty! Let's learn to complement each other and not hate and compete against one another, it's not necessary and it doesn't make us Beautiful! God Bless young Lady! Great video!
I love it! This is the first video I’ve seen of hers and it’s helpful and I love how she,in a way, puts some people in their place when it comes to black women having long hair or trying to grow it out! Consistency is key!
Just discovered you today& I can’t stop watching your videos😭. I cut my all my hair off a year ago. It’s growing but not how much I want it to. You have already helped me a lot.
YOU ARE SO TRUTHFUL.I trust you a lot and gonna do everything you do for your hair. Love the way you share every little new experiences you get using your products.
Love your vids. Living in South Africa and after recently being told as woman of color by a Treseme ad that our hair is what is considered brittle damaged and abnormal And that Caucasian hair is what’s considered normal thought to myself : they should see Mercy’s hair. Our hair is magical. Love your hair
@@mercygonoRN I only started the journey this year JUNE..and it is three months down the line and I have healthy hair...no so much of length but I am sure of volume...next year JUNE I will send a you a picture via your Instagram as a testimony... Thank you for investing your time to help a sister 🥰
The fact that people in this world still think that natural Afro women no matter the ethnicity can’t grow long beautiful healthy tresses really blows me all my friends have such beautiful hair I’m trying to catch up to them and Mercy I’m so happy I found her honestly!
I'm older and definitely know that it's possible for black women to have long hair. Seen too many OGs who said their hair was never long grow it out in front of us on their RUclips videos. As this young lady, they didn't just tell us, they showed us.
Yes, a great reminder. I had to re-learn this myself and for the last 5 months have been practicing this. So far about 2 inches of hair growth. Love your hair; be gentle and it gives back to you.
@@Jmwamuchemi Same! I kept listening to everybody saying don’t use heat but my hair shrinks sooo bad and becomes very dry and hard to manage if I let it air dry. My hair was breaking and it just wasn’t working. I started using the blow dryer when I wash my hair every 2 weeks and my hair is doing much better. It holds moisture the entire 2 weeks now and no breakage!! You should try it - make sure you use heat protector and a strengthening deep conditioner for protein and a moisturizing leave in conditioner. Another thing I noticed is that most of the girls who don’t use heat now did in the past and I think it loosened their hair to a manageable point so now they don’t have to use heat anymore.
I made my oils that u talked about and used my Qredrew on a weekly basis and my hair is almost as long as yours. It's always in a protective style.

Mercy are very intelligent & beautiful, I have always believed that Black ppl (women) can grow long hair. I am 59yo & started my natural hair Journey this year June 8th.... My hair has no problem growing but I have always had thin edges. Both of my daughters have thick hair with full edges... In 2018 I worked & prayed to achieve 5 important goals, learn how to drive, obtain my driver's license, lose weight, grow longer thicker healthier hair & Re-marry! I drive & have my license, 85 Ibs lighter & counting, natural hair Journey in progress & a good decent husband? Lol, oh well only God knows best... You Inspire me so much, Thank you, Godbless!
Hi Mabae, you got your driving license at 57?,,really?,,this is so inspiring, i feel so inspired by you, i have the same goals and praying to God that i could achieve my goals,,been praying alot,,,would love to get to know you if you don't mind,,,such an Inspiration,,,just like our beautiful Mercy,,,God bless🙏🙏❤

39yo and just got my license less than a month ago. You inspire me so much. I actually have the same exact goals. I was ashamed about my age and compared myself to so many of my younger counterparts who have achieved so much more than I. But you have encouraged and inspired me to not give up on myself and to bring it to the Lord wholeheartedly. Thank you!
@@alizabethfrick3288Awee, you're welcome & thank you..... Liz You are alot younger than me & have nothing to be ashamed of RE: seeking out your goals! I got 20 years on you but that doesn't stop me from hoping & praying for my true love & soulmate! Never say never my dear..... Reach for STARS!!! Keep being Inspired-
Yess the struggles of being natural..ibso love your hair ,no one goes into my hair anymore unless i want a nice braided done and i am too lazy to do it and i keep the stylist minimal...great work Miss Mercy
Yes I would like to see a wash routine. I'm one of your biggest fan. I'm 67 yrs old and my hair was thinning and fallen out. Watching you and looking at your video my hair is now growing and getting thick. Thanks sweetie for your help. God bless you and your family! ❤ ❤ ❤
I started watching your videos at the end of February and I started doing what your were doing and yeah my hair has grown a lot. Thank you natural food for your hair is the way to go.
Your aloe vera mix helped out with my grandmother's scalp issues 1st time. Now she's complaining about itching because haven't did her treatment since May. I love your suggestions, hair grew out a lot since my cut last August 2019. Wearing wigs and leaving it alone until wash day helped so much I can pull up in a small ponytail without using bobby pins. Keep it coming Mercy, we love ya.
I'm 'brand-new' just found your info last night and your comments have stayed with me 'all night'... I love the way you are reaching right into my heart... I'm excited, scared and grateful to have found you... please do not change a thing... there are tons of 'lost souls wandering around in a fog, suffering looking for answers for our hair-trauma, drama' I hope they find you.. just as I have. Thank you thank you
Hi Mercy, i just listened to your video,i must confess i am encouraged. I just subscribed to your channel to follow your method. I pray it work. Thanks
You are absolutely beautiful and generous as well. God bless you for sharing your struggles. I'm considered a 4c and the struggle is REAL. It can be discouraging at times but you provide a source of support and encouragement. God bless you sis.
A good protective style for african american ladies is "African hair threading". I want to try that with the oils you mentioned in your last video. I bought everything yesterday and I'm so excited!
You and your hair looks gorgeous!! My main problem in haircare is CONSISTENCY. I have made a commitment that inspite of all that I have to do that I am going to put myself in the picture. Thank you for the motivation. Pumped up to make a change in my dry kinky hair. Thank you!!
I had no idea that you had been through so much with your hair/3 big chops. Thank you for sharing your story!! "AND THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY. . . " Rev 12:11
My medication was the problem. I am recovering from breast cancer and the meds given me dried out my hair. I am trying to get my twa to grow out. I changed the products used and I added a better vitamin regimen. I am going to start my protective styles to help lessen the manipulation of my hair. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Mercy I must say you have inspired me to take control of my hair journey and keeping my hands out of my head. I am still learning what products works for me being 10 years natural!! It takes WORK to maintain healthy hair and DESIRE to reach hair length with 100% shrinkage lol. I appreciate your consistency and teaching the values to taking care of Black women hair. So much LOVE and Support!!! THANK YOU ❤💖😘💕
Hey Mercy, I've just stumbled on your videos. Chopped my mixed dried out, brittled hair off and going all natural, following ur videos and enjoying, excited to grow my natural hair journey. You're an awesome individual, genuine and true. GOD bless you & family 👪 🙏 ❤
The things we go through during teenage years and early twenties. Tight braids, relaxer, heat treatment, hair dressers who don't know what their doing 🙈 trying to force your hair to be something it is not. Only at 29 I turned fully natural and my hair looks better than ever. If a hair dresser doesn't know what they're doing I call it out immediately.
I had relax hair two years now and I decided that am going back natural and I did the big chop 1 month ago. And let me tell y'all am so happy because my hair is growing thicker and healthier... I really appreciate what your doing mercy ..u have inspired me soo much I jus really want to thank you... for all the good works. I love you so so so much may god continue to bless you ❤❤❤❤😍
Mercy, You Encourage, Inspire, Teach, and Lead by Example!! Keep doing you! Your subscribers are better for it!! My beautiful Locs speak your truth. Thank you!
hi fellow nurse, i really really love your hair videos, i am already on a natural hair journey for 2 years, i'm a Nigerian and to a certain point i believed that my hair cant grow. but your videos inspired me to continue taking care of my hair. love you
Thank you Mercy for the reassurance that my hair can grow. I just haven't had any success so I feel re- inspired to continue my natural hair growth journey diligently and consistently. My intent is to make my hair priority every day consistently. Your hair is beautiful and so are you inside and out. I appreciate you continuing your efforts to help all of us who want beautiful natural hair. I know I can do this because as busy a life you have you are still a light to this dark place I'm in regarding my hair. Peace and love to you and yours.
You are such a beautiful person inside and out, with beautiful hair! Thank you for your transparency and for sharing your hair journey. Figuring out what works for you and consistency is the key to healthy hair and a healthy lifestyle!
You’re beautiful inside and out! Your story truly resonated with me and your hair is absolutely stunning!!! I’m so glad I found your channel and get to learn more about natural hair care!!
Sometimes it's not about oil or deep hair treatment, it worth going to hair consultant clinic. They really can find out the inner issues like lack of vitamins and minerals, how stress can impact your hair growth and many more inner issues. I'm new to the channel I love your positive vibe about natural hair growth.👏😊
I'm mexican and my hair was falling out like crazy and I watched one of your videos about vitamins and I bought all of them and wal la my hair stopped falling and new hairs are growing around my bold spots ... Thank you so much for that video it really helped me🙂
Your hair is beautiful!! Thats right girl - show off that beautiful hair of yours... thanks for being so thoughtful with helping your black sisters getting their hair where they want it to be and showing that its possible and our hair is sooo beautiful if we treat it right!!! Love love love ITtttt🤗😍
Does anyone ever realize if she repeats rice water videos or aloe vera videos you will feel nothing but happy, excited and grateful for watching them again?🤔🤔🤔 There is a way she makes them new and fresh again and very exciting and fun to watch. Mercy, for me, you are allowed to continue with those videos and repeat them cause I love them.😍😍😍
Above all problems I'm having with my hair, inconsistency is the biggest problem. It's like I will never have the chance to possibly recuperate my hair. 😥 It's New Year so I am working on my consistency in my hair journey. Your video has been inspirational and motivating to me. God bless you! And ohh yeah new subie! 😘
You're a real inspiration. Thanks for the info. My hair is growing like crazy! ....BTW I hope you sued that lady who put the chemicals in your hair without your consent...that's criminal! You should have named her to spare others....
You have such a beautiful spirit and personality 💜. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Keep doing what you're doing bc you are making believers out of everyone....one video at a time!!!! Bless you Sis 🙏🏼✊🏾
@@torontofoodjunky7431 two strand twists work very good too since it’s not a lot of tension. Keeping them in for two weeks and properly moisturizing the ends of my twist and oiling my scalp ,when needed, helped me
Thanks for sharing your journey because it helped me understand you more. I honestly thought you always had long hair or everything was perfect with your hair. Good job mercy, please don't stop with your nursing videos it's helpful also
Hey hun. You look very beautiful in this video. Your hair is so full and pretty. Anyway, I've been watching your programs a few weeks now, and I've been trying my own aloe vera blend as well, with other stuff, & hardly any of my hair comes out when I comb it-just a few strands come out. About a little over a week ago, I got rid of locks that I had for over 10 yrs. They were really long, but they were breaking my edges too much, & they started causing head aches & neck pain as well, due to the weight. I had them cut off more than half of it, and then they unlock the remainder. My hair is long but really thin at the moment, so I will keep on using my own natural blend on it, because in just a lil over a week, my hair is showing improvement, and not falling out. I enjoy your tutorials up here. Thank you. Blessings and love!!!🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
Very good video. Your routine is very simple and effective. A lot of natural comes out with different diy every week. But you stick with the rice water and aloevera and that's what I like. Keep it simple. Thanks for this video God bless 🙏
@@solaadeakin8338 She has a routine of rotating two conditioning treatments & in between maintains health with an oil mixture (everyday natural products - see video). So spread this over a month. (1.) Rice water, cap hair & wash that day in first week of month; then bed down hair in protective style. Two weeks later (2.) Aloe vera plus oils (see video) cap hair & wash that day. Then put into protective style. Do that EVERY month & OMG... mine has gone wild with growth & strong with little shedding (more shedding than Mercy tho). Watch her videos, select what you want to try & go for it. 🙏🏽
You and your hair are beautiful! Almost every hairdresser I've been to has jacked my hair up. If you talk back and question them, they get an attitude and mad. Beware of hairdressers with a head full of weave or short hair, you won't have any. I like this channel and a few others. Started paying more attention to my edges and rice water. But hairsalons are a no for now. Thank you for the advice to bring my own stuff.
She is just flawless PERIOD!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. I am growing my hair and my daughter too. I did the bold big chop two months ago and now i can braided a little...
I love the quality of your hair. I also ordered the bonnet that you showed so I could support my black sister. I am now getting ready to use the 7 oils you spoke about. I am looking forward to another extent of my journey.
All what you said in the video is absolutely right. I have a similar experience I never believed that natural hair can’t be softer. I perm my hair like crazy and I chop more than three times. So this is a big guide line video you put out.
Consistency is the key and that is where I am lacking😩 I got to do better for my hair. And thank you for your hair videos, for encouraging me and keeping me motivated. Never ending struggles of wash days 😩🥲🤣
Thank you 🙏🏾. You just inspired me to continue my natural hair journey. I was literally in tears today because I was frustrated with my hair. It didn’t come out as I expected. Today was my 1st back at work and I was looking a hot mess. I was ready to give up. Yes; I’ve watched other natural hair videos but your statement towards the end of this video really inspired me to be consistent and patient. Thank you so much.
I really loved this video, I stopped caring about my hair at one point because I thought that African Girls could never have long hair like this, but I’m glad I came across this video , gave me the faith and motivation I needed. Thank you 🤍
Love your channel. I never comment, but love seeing your growth overtime. ☺️ It’s crazy that people think Afro textured hair can’t grow long.. they completely dismiss the short hair in African tribes is by choice. Once upon a time ALL African people (the individual ethnic groups) had their own set of beauty standards and many still do. Black Americans can also grow long hair but like most things in America, the choices we have and make have negative affects on our bodies. Americans have been lazy for a long time and the results show in weight, hair and illness. So again Black, Afro textured hair can grow long it’s all about unlearning what we’ve been taught, and re-learning what’s been suppressed. We are organic organisms. We are built to last guaranteed for at least 120 yrs if we take care of ourselves as designed. Blessings.
I wish you talked in more detailed about how to grow hair....this was more about ur story, which I want to hear. But it would be helpful to know about the oils, products, rice water & frequencies
The title reads "what you can do to grow your hair." I'm not subscribed to her. Just found her randomly. The title is why I clicked on the video..expecting to learn what to do. Not expecting to have to go through all her videos. Not a big deal but its misleading.
Lavan She did let the us know abt oils & stuff like that if you go on her channel you will see a whole separate video abt the best oils you can use too grow your hair she has multiple videos abt oils
Great video. Love your message about Black women with all skin tones and hair textures can have beautiful hair. We need to break these stereotypes and ignorance ❤️
Hey. Im a OG RUclipsr. I just found your channel. Wow, I can't believe that people didn't believe it was your hair. THANK YOU for sharing your story. Your hair is beautiful 😍 I'm still on my hair journey and finally learning what is really working for my hair. Stay blessed 🔥
I really hate disrespectful people. Continue to be great queens. I'm hear to learn and for insight because I've gotten lazy. Stressed out and lost my hair so I'm hear with you. 😁🥰
Thank you so much for this video. I was so insecure about my hair. I have traction alopecia and it's dry and brittle. Now I just want to cut it off and start with the rice water. This video is amazing x
You are speaking facts I wore a weave so much that I was paying stylists to pull my hair out I was so embarrassed. I kept getting a weave because I was too scared to cut it off because I didn't think I was pretty enough to cut it off plus I had bald spots and alopecia .I found myself in a relationship with a guy who asked me what was underneath my weave I never let him see but it was at that point that I realized I have to take care of my hair so I prayed and I started watching videos of people like you beautiful women who had compassion for people and were bold enough to speak on caring for your hair I went to a dermatologist they really did not do too much but I didn't follow up .but God showed me what to do for my hair I had the most store up hair I stopped going to salon because other women had beautiful hair and mine wasn't. I started going to people houses or let them come to my house. To make a long story short aloe vera and coconut oil works for me this is my first time seeing your video but you were speaking facts . I am able to retain length because I do what you said I don't do things to continue to manipulate my hair I had balding in the middle and in the front part of my hair in the middle it's growing my husband noticed and he pays attention to me ( I thank God for him) but it was so embarrassing I still have a small patch of baldness in the front I am going to see another dermatologist but my hair is growing thicker and longer thanks for sharing your experience I hit the subscribe button you are right anyone can have beautiful long hair be blessed
I added Prayers to my hair regime. It's been wonderful! God is concerned with every detail of our walk.🙏

39yo and just got my license less than a month ago. You inspire me so much. I actually have the same exact goals. I was ashamed about my age and compared myself to so many of my younger counterparts who have achieved so much more than I. But you have encouraged and inspired me to not give up on myself and to bring it to the Lord wholeheartedly. Thank you!
@@alizabethfrick3288Awee, you're welcome & thank you..... Liz You are alot younger than me & have nothing to be ashamed of RE: seeking out your goals! I got 20 years on you but that doesn't stop me from hoping & praying for my true love & soulmate! Never say never my dear..... Reach for STARS!!! Keep being Inspired-
Yess the struggles of being natural..ibso love your hair ,no one goes into my hair anymore unless i want a nice braided done and i am too lazy to do it and i keep the stylist minimal...great work Miss Mercy
Yes I would like to see a wash routine. I'm one of your biggest fan. I'm 67 yrs old and my hair was thinning and fallen out. Watching you and looking at your video my hair is now growing and getting thick. Thanks sweetie for your help. God bless you and your family! ❤ ❤ ❤
Anna Owens up your vitamin and water intake and eat more nuts.
Hello, “Crown” Sister. Try sleeping on a satin pillow or wear a silk scarf. Look at my other posts on this video page
I started watching your videos at the end of February and I started doing what your were doing and yeah my hair has grown a lot. Thank you natural food for your hair is the way to go.
Your aloe vera mix helped out with my grandmother's scalp issues 1st time. Now she's complaining about itching because haven't did her treatment since May.
I love your suggestions, hair grew out a lot since my cut last August 2019. Wearing wigs and leaving it alone until wash day helped so much I can pull up in a small ponytail without using bobby pins.
Keep it coming Mercy, we love ya.
I'm 'brand-new' just found your info last night and your comments have stayed with me 'all night'... I love the way you are reaching right into my heart... I'm excited, scared and grateful to have found you... please do not change a thing... there are tons of 'lost souls wandering around in a fog, suffering looking for answers for our hair-trauma, drama' I hope they find you.. just as I have. Thank you thank you
How gorgeous is her hair guys! 😍👸🏽
I know right 💗
Hi Mercy, i just listened to your video,i must confess i am encouraged. I just subscribed to your channel to follow your method. I pray it work. Thanks
Ohh my God, you've gone through so much am so sorry 😢 but now you can enjoy the fruits of your success ☺️ congratulations 👏
You are absolutely beautiful and generous as well. God bless you for sharing your struggles. I'm considered a 4c and the struggle is REAL. It can be discouraging at times but you provide a source of support and encouragement. God bless you sis.
A good protective style for african american ladies is "African hair threading". I want to try that with the oils you mentioned in your last video. I bought everything yesterday and I'm so excited!
So true
You and your hair looks gorgeous!! My main problem in haircare is CONSISTENCY. I have made a commitment that inspite of all that I have to do that I am going to put myself in the picture. Thank you for the motivation. Pumped up to make a change in my dry kinky hair. Thank you!!
I had no idea that you had been through so much with your hair/3 big chops. Thank you for sharing your story!! "AND THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY. . . " Rev 12:11

How can one make a leave in conditioner?
My medication was the problem. I am recovering from breast cancer and the meds given me dried out my hair. I am trying to get my twa to grow out. I changed the products used and I added a better vitamin regimen. I am going to start my protective styles to help lessen the manipulation of my hair. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Girl you are serving looks...beauty overload
Mercy I must say you have inspired me to take control of my hair journey and keeping my hands out of my head. I am still learning what products works for me being 10 years natural!! It takes WORK to maintain healthy hair and DESIRE to reach hair length with 100% shrinkage lol. I appreciate your consistency and teaching the values to taking care of Black women hair. So much LOVE and Support!!! THANK YOU ❤💖😘💕
Now that is a real hair journey.....I love the tips you've been going !
I've relaxed my hair ALL my life and did the big chop about 3/4 months ago and have absolutely no idea what i'm doing. So glad I've found this page :)
I really miss you Mercy, I've been sick for a while but I'm fully recovered now. Thanks once again
@@mercygonoRN thank you very much Mercy, I'm grateful!
Hey Mercy, I've just stumbled on your videos. Chopped my mixed dried out, brittled hair off and going all natural, following ur videos and enjoying, excited to grow my natural hair journey.
You're an awesome individual, genuine and true. GOD bless you & family 👪 🙏 ❤
hi mom,ur my mom on youtube,who else feels apart of her family
I feel same dearie.
Her routines really help me
Meeee like me
Ya know it😉
Lol yeah
The things we go through during teenage years and early twenties. Tight braids, relaxer, heat treatment, hair dressers who don't know what their doing 🙈 trying to force your hair to be something it is not. Only at 29 I turned fully natural and my hair looks better than ever. If a hair dresser doesn't know what they're doing I call it out immediately.
I had relax hair two years now and I decided that am going back natural and I did the big chop 1 month ago. And let me tell y'all am so happy because my hair is growing thicker and healthier... I really appreciate what your doing mercy ..u have inspired me soo much I jus really want to thank you... for all the good works. I love you so so so much may god continue to bless you ❤❤❤❤😍
I jus chop my relaxed to natural hair mercy , hop my hair will grow longer like yours
Mercy, You Encourage, Inspire, Teach, and Lead by Example!! Keep doing you! Your subscribers are better for it!! My beautiful Locs speak your truth. Thank you!
I love your videos!
Very informative.
hi fellow nurse, i really really love your hair videos, i am already on a natural hair journey for 2 years, i'm a Nigerian and to a certain point i believed that my hair cant grow. but your videos inspired me to continue taking care of my hair. love you
Thank you Mercy for the reassurance that my hair can grow. I just haven't had any success so I feel re- inspired to continue my natural hair growth journey diligently and consistently. My intent is to make my hair priority every day consistently. Your hair is beautiful and so are you inside and out. I appreciate you continuing your efforts to help all of us who want beautiful natural hair. I know I can do this because as busy a life you have you are still a light to this dark place I'm in regarding my hair. Peace and love to you and yours.
You are such a beautiful person inside and out, with beautiful hair! Thank you for your transparency and for sharing your hair journey. Figuring out what works for you and consistency is the key to healthy hair and a healthy lifestyle!
You’re beautiful inside and out! Your story truly resonated with me and your hair is absolutely stunning!!! I’m so glad I found your channel and get to learn more about natural hair care!!
Sometimes it's not about oil or deep hair treatment, it worth going to hair consultant clinic. They really can find out the inner issues like lack of vitamins and minerals, how stress can impact your hair growth and many more inner issues. I'm new to the channel I love your positive vibe about natural hair growth.👏😊
Exactly most ppl on these channels go get scalp treatmentS and lie and say they “grow” they hair.
May I just say how CUTE her outfit is!
I'm mexican and my hair was falling out like crazy and I watched one of your videos about vitamins and I bought all of them and wal la my hair stopped falling and new hairs are growing around my bold spots ... Thank you so much for that video it really helped me🙂
Can you share those vitamins?
Can you please share the vitamins
@@oliviamorales5947 what vitamins did she use?
I couldn't find the video pls help
@@judithchinyere5566 Vitamin B12 complex - vitamin C - Vitamin D - prenatal pills- biotin vitamins- iron vitamin- probiotic- collagen
Your hair is beautiful!! Thats right girl - show off that beautiful hair of yours... thanks for being so thoughtful with helping your black sisters getting their hair where they want it to be and showing that its possible and our hair is sooo beautiful if we treat it right!!! Love love love ITtttt🤗😍
My favorite line, “And I’m not mixed with anything so stop the jokes!” 😂😂😂 love it! This video is very inspirational.
One of my favorite natural hair RUclipsrs hands downs 💗💯
Does anyone ever realize if she repeats rice water videos or aloe vera videos you will feel nothing but happy, excited and grateful for watching them again?🤔🤔🤔 There is a way she makes them new and fresh again and very exciting and fun to watch. Mercy, for me, you are allowed to continue with those videos and repeat them cause I love them.😍😍😍
Same
Totally agree.
Above all problems I'm having with my hair, inconsistency is the biggest problem. It's like I will never have the chance to possibly recuperate my hair. 😥
It's New Year so I am working on my consistency in my hair journey.
Your video has been inspirational and motivating to me. God bless you!
And ohh yeah new subie! 😘
Your hair is so pretty. I'm trying to grow my hair out, for a thicker look. Thank You for your consistent help!🥰
I love this. My problem is consistency. Thank you for the encouragement. ❤
You're a real inspiration. Thanks for the info. My hair is growing like crazy! ....BTW I hope you sued that lady who put the chemicals in your hair without your consent...that's criminal! You should have named her to spare others....
You have such a beautiful spirit and personality 💜. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Keep doing what you're doing bc you are making believers out of everyone....one video at a time!!!! Bless you Sis 🙏🏼✊🏾
Braids have damaged my hair too! Mostly my edges and I did the big chop too. The journey continues. Thanks for sharing!
if you don't do braids, which protective styles have made your hair grow longer?
@@torontofoodjunky7431 two strand twists work very good too since it’s not a lot of tension. Keeping them in for two weeks and properly moisturizing the ends of my twist and oiling my scalp ,when needed, helped me
Your voice is so calming and soothing. 🥰🥰
Mercy you are the anjel of God, you help my mom and me thenk you're ameizing
Period !!! If it works then keep it going. I love that you havent switched up for likes
Thanks for sharing your journey because it helped me understand you more. I honestly thought you always had long hair or everything was perfect with your hair. Good job mercy, please don't stop with your nursing videos it's helpful also
Hey hun. You look very beautiful in this video. Your hair is so full and pretty. Anyway, I've been watching your programs a few weeks now, and I've been trying my own aloe vera blend as well, with other stuff, & hardly any of my hair comes out when I comb it-just a few strands come out. About a little over a week ago, I got rid of locks that I had for over 10 yrs. They were really long, but they were breaking my edges too much, & they started causing head aches & neck pain as well, due to the weight. I had them cut off more than half of it, and then they unlock the remainder. My hair is long but really thin at the moment, so I will keep on using my own natural blend on it, because in just a lil over a week, my hair is showing improvement, and not falling out. I enjoy your tutorials up here. Thank you. Blessings and love!!!🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
Mercy: You look gorgeous and awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Very good video. Your routine is very simple and effective. A lot of natural comes out with different diy every week. But you stick with the rice water and aloevera and that's what I like. Keep it simple. Thanks for this video God bless 🙏
I copied your routine & my length went from 7cm to 39cm in 18 months .. so pleased!!
What routine pls. Explanations please?
@@solaadeakin8338 She has a routine of rotating two conditioning treatments & in between maintains health with an oil mixture (everyday natural products - see video). So spread this over a month. (1.) Rice water, cap hair & wash that day in first week of month; then bed down hair in protective style. Two weeks later (2.) Aloe vera plus oils (see video) cap hair & wash that day. Then put into protective style. Do that EVERY month & OMG... mine has gone wild with growth & strong with little shedding (more shedding than Mercy tho). Watch her videos, select what you want to try & go for it. 🙏🏽
My hair falls out, maybe because I wash it too much and I am amazed to see your hair growth progressing well
You are absolutely beautiful with beautiful hair...I love your extreme confidence as well...
Love your hair Mercy, you've inspired me to start my natural hair journey,
You and your hair are beautiful! Almost every hairdresser I've been to has jacked my hair up. If you talk back and question them, they get an attitude and mad. Beware of hairdressers with a head full of weave or short hair, you won't have any. I like this channel and a few others. Started paying more attention to my edges and rice water. But hairsalons are a no for now. Thank you for the advice to bring my own stuff.
Don't listen to the haters 😴
They r jealous. So am I. Your hair is gorgeous 😍
She is just flawless PERIOD!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. I am growing my hair and my daughter too. I did the bold big chop two months ago and now i can braided a little...
I love the quality of your hair. I also ordered the bonnet that you showed so I could support my black sister. I am now getting ready to use the 7 oils you spoke about. I am looking forward to another extent of my journey.
Hi Mercy, thank you for being a light and an encourager. God bless you
All what you said in the video is absolutely right. I have a similar experience I never believed that natural hair can’t be softer. I perm my hair like crazy and I chop more than three times. So this is a big guide line video you put out.
Consistency is the key and that is where I am lacking😩 I got to do better for my hair. And thank you for your hair videos, for encouraging me and keeping me motivated. Never ending struggles of wash days 😩🥲🤣
I just started following you a couple of weeks ago. Please don't stop doing the videos that you do. I've learned so much from you.
I love you Mercy, especially for your sincerity.
God bless you beautiful
Thank you 🙏🏾. You just inspired me to continue my natural hair journey. I was literally in tears today because I was frustrated with my hair. It didn’t come out as I expected. Today was my 1st back at work and I was looking a hot mess. I was ready to give up. Yes; I’ve watched other natural hair videos but your statement towards the end of this video really inspired me to be consistent and patient. Thank you so much.
I really loved this video, I stopped caring about my hair at one point because I thought that African Girls could never have long hair like this, but I’m glad I came across this video , gave me the faith and motivation I needed. Thank you 🤍
Hi Mercy, thanks so much. 🥺❤You inspire me to take good care of my hair all the time . Who agrees with me?
Love your channel. I never comment, but love seeing your growth overtime. ☺️
It’s crazy that people think Afro textured hair can’t grow long.. they completely dismiss the short hair in African tribes is by choice. Once upon a time ALL African people (the individual ethnic groups) had their own set of beauty standards and many still do.
Black Americans can also grow long hair but like most things in America, the choices we have and make have negative affects on our bodies. Americans have been lazy for a long time and the results show in weight, hair and illness. So again Black, Afro textured hair can grow long it’s all about unlearning what we’ve been taught, and re-learning what’s been suppressed. We are organic organisms. We are built to last guaranteed for at least 120 yrs if we take care of ourselves as designed. Blessings.
This video has been sooo helpful..thank you sooo much
I wish you talked in more detailed about how to grow hair....this was more about ur story, which I want to hear. But it would be helpful to know about the oils, products, rice water & frequencies
She has many videos about them in her channel
Telling your story is great , let the women know how, what products etc...
The title reads "what you can do to grow your hair." I'm not subscribed to her. Just found her randomly. The title is why I clicked on the video..expecting to learn what to do. Not expecting to have to go through all her videos. Not a big deal but its misleading.
Lavan She did let the us know abt oils & stuff like that if you go on her channel you will see a whole separate video abt the best oils you can use too grow your hair she has multiple videos abt oils
Great video. Love your message about Black women with all skin tones and hair textures can have beautiful hair. We need to break these stereotypes and ignorance ❤️
Hey. Im a OG RUclipsr. I just found your channel. Wow, I can't believe that people didn't believe it was your hair. THANK YOU for sharing your story. Your hair is beautiful 😍 I'm still on my hair journey and finally learning what is really working for my hair. Stay blessed 🔥
I really hate disrespectful people. Continue to be great queens. I'm hear to learn and for insight because I've gotten lazy. Stressed out and lost my hair so I'm hear with you. 😁🥰
I've used almost everything you use in my hair and can I tell you it's growing and I'm so proud.
Her hair is absolutely gorgeous.😲
Thank you so much for this video. I was so insecure about my hair. I have traction alopecia and it's dry and brittle. Now I just want to cut it off and start with the rice water. This video is amazing x
I like what you have shared about natural haircare. I want to start on mine. Thanks. I'm inspired.
I love the way you give me hope... thanks 😘
Wow.. I was watching your video and you literally motivated me to take care of my hair in a different way...
You are speaking facts I wore a weave so much that I was paying stylists to pull my hair out I was so embarrassed. I kept getting a weave because I was too scared to cut it off because I didn't think I was pretty enough to cut it off plus I had bald spots and alopecia .I found myself in a relationship with a guy who asked me what was underneath my weave I never let him see but it was at that point that I realized I have to take care of my hair so I prayed and I started watching videos of people like you beautiful women who had compassion for people and were bold enough to speak on caring for your hair I went to a dermatologist they really did not do too much but I didn't follow up .but God showed me what to do for my hair I had the most store up hair I stopped going to salon because other women had beautiful hair and mine wasn't. I started going to people houses or let them come to my house. To make a long story short aloe vera and coconut oil works for me this is my first time seeing your video but you were speaking facts . I am able to retain length because I do what you said I don't do things to continue to manipulate my hair I had balding in the middle and in the front part of my hair in the middle it's growing my husband noticed and he pays attention to me ( I thank God for him) but it was so embarrassing I still have a small patch of baldness in the front I am going to see another dermatologist but my hair is growing thicker and longer thanks for sharing your experience I hit the subscribe button you are right anyone can have beautiful long hair be blessed
