Using creams or foams with hold has been a total game changer! In the height of the natural hair movement people were using oils, butters and cream stylers with absolutely no hold and complaining about the lack of definition and the lack of style longevity. Let’s not fail to mention that many were air drying their hair and avoiding any and all kinds of heat These days you can find more naturals using stylers with hold and using hood dryers to dry their hair. Which results in more hold, definition and longevity. For more twist out + natural hair tips sign up to our email list unique-night-72884.myflodesk.com/vbjnb12456
@@notknown6605 That’s awesome you’ve never felt negatively about it. As far as moisture…you’re exposed to it every time you shampoo, condition and style your hair.
@@samanthajones3049 I haven’t heard anything about hair loss. However, what I will tell you is if anybody would have seen hair loss it most certainly would be the hair stylists who use it religiously. Which alway raises my antennas to their being a user error. This is the same thing that happened with Olaplex and even Deva Curl. Hair just doesn’t start falling out…there are usually triggers that happen around it that are often ignored. I nor any of my clients have experienced any hair loss.
Is there a plan to return to the line and do a more in depth review based on how each behaved and performed on your hair? The website has a lot more information around how to best use it and I’d love to see another professional opinion. I of course can’t expect you to review treatments that you as a professional don’t need, but it would be interesting to hear how it behaves under a professional’s hands as opposed to a consumer’s.
@@HermezzWorld no plans to circle the block. 2024 hit us over the head with a load of hair products…and this year the professionally formulated products are next level.

Thank you! You should know that the background music makes it challenging to hear you well. The sound of your voice is low even on maximum volume. Good work, though!
This was so helpful to me on multiple levels. I went natural way back before it was trendy or all these products… let’s just say it’s been a lot and my self-esteem surely suffered. I’m so relieved to find out that hair depression is a real thing 😢 I’m not just lazy 😮My lacks of wellness and energy really does impact my soul/being😮 Thank you, ladies, for creating a safe place to just be and learn and to practice acceptance. It’s past time for this 60 year old soul to embrace self love with confidence.✌️
This still does address relaxers in the way I was hoping I don’t want to hear the side stories. The other lady you started this movement with was very direct and didn’t talk in circles. This was so unhelpful

Dry or not, your hair is rocking!!!. It’s full, bouncy and exotic looking. I think some of those negative comments may stem from those who believe everyone with afro hair should use lots of oils and butters. Since you maintain that it’s not necessary, they say your hair looks dry.
I cut my hair to stay the same length bc I have short arms. It’s usually a zero degree cut at my shoulder blades. Maybe layers up to my ears at times . In 12 years of being natural I have only had my hair professionally done 3 times . I trust me with the heat . My press can last 3 hours , it can last 3 weeks. I never know .
A lot of the issue with people loving their natural hair (myself included) is it feels foreign which is weird for what grows out of your own scalp to feel foreign. I come from the generation where most of us had been relaxed from little girls so we never ever dealt with our natural hair until we were adults, some of us grown grown adults. We aren't used to seeing ourselves with natural hair, we aren't used to the styles and your hair does indeed change your whole look. So it's new for a lot of us to see ourselves with natural hair. Also, styling plays a big part because a lot of us are taught that the way natural hair just is isn't seen as presentable. It can be uncomfortable trying to love your look as a natural especially if you have the shrinkage prone, tightly coiled hair that takes more effort to be seen as pretty in everyday society. I have given myself grace in this area though. I don't have to wear my hair natural if I don't want to. If rocking my wigs and weave makes me, personally, feel more comfortable then I'm alright with that.
@@missalexyzjones I totally understand and respect your experience. Your whole experience is rooted in us not knowing or understanding our hair. When we know or understand our hair we become comfortable with wearing it. Culturally it’s not our fault. However when we’re ready to explore it Black Girl Curls is here to help navigate and hide tight curl + naturals
Yep vanity,I work in the operating room and all the infected BBLs that we have to come in on call for is ridiculous and I’m in SC,so I can’t even imagine the infection rate for the major states.
Also hair is mostly genetics! I had long hair with Jerry curl,over processed perms,natural hair with hella oil and now,following the no oils and butters . My hair beautiful. I’m an inpatient Aries so I keep it corn rolled and use different styles of crotchet braids. Some of us will never had butt length hair!
If you have never heard of surface texture it's the look and feel of your hair. Some people have reflective hair like lip gloss, some have flat hair like matte lipstick, some have sheen like those puppies in between. Where ever your hair falls the truth is that it's beautiful no matter what. If you'd like to learn more on identifying your surface texture? Or how to tell of your hair is really dry...we invite you to sign up to The Black Girl Curls daily newsletter to learn more about your natural hair.

I agree with this sentiment. I did the big chop during Covid and have been navigating the process of learning my hair, but also dealing with a negative mindset (my own and others) around coily textured hair.
I had an ovarian cyst It caused my hair to fall out at the top. I went to a dermatologist who gave me two shots in my scalp. It’s been 2 or 3 years since then. My hair is trying to grow back. I am now in my 70s. The top around my edges are slow at growing. I’ve always had thick long bra strap hair length hair. I’m using herbs with avocado oil as a carrier. What else can I do?
I hated wearing my hair relaxed but my folks hated natural hair. When I went away to college, I cut it off & went natural, but I went back to relaxed for years because I got a lot more attention that way. Years later I went natural again and it has been 20 years now and my hair anxiety is a thing of the past.
Your hair looks Amazing! I love the base gel and the mouse. I'm on day 6 and my curls are still popping. Wash day will be tomorrow. I will be trying the crazy sexy curl.
