Girl I love how thick your ends are! I feel like my ends are thinner than the rest of my hair since its grown out long. I've kept my hair blowdried only so I can keep an eye on my ends and lets face it...it's easier to maintain then curls. I'm wondering is it even possible to have tailbone length with thickness all the way to the bottom. I'm contemplating cutting. : (
🥰🥰🥰 blowdried hair takes away alot of the challenges that arise when trying to style and maintain naturally curly hair. Im not skilled enough for it, but i can maintain my hair with heat very well. The struggle of thin ends is tricky, just like split ends. It's one of the reasons I have always been spoo hesitant to add layers into my hair. Seeing the thin spots used to drove me insane. I would say that if you are ready to take the leap to go from trims to a larger cut to even out all the ends so it's all the same thickness, then do it. I know sometimes people feel like blunt cuts are boring, but it does add to the visual appearance of overall thickness. I think you can definitely reach tailbone length with thickness from top to bottom.
Open on my journey, growing my hair for three years now and seeing you cut off all the beautiful hair was actually very refreshing. I’m starting to love my hair at every stage.
Heyyy. Sometimes you need a big change just to open the mind and spirit or even sometimes to create a physical representation of releasing stress. Hair is very special to me and I love it long but the awesomeness of it comes from the confidence not from the actual length. I just don't want people to ever feel afraid or trapped by their hair. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am glad that you are loving the moments in-between reaching the milestones.
@@user-koabarnett ☺️☺️ thank you. It was fun trying out this style. I had never done braids like this before on someone, not even myself. I'm not a hairstylist. Lol. But I do want to learn. 😊
Thank you. It was such an amazing experience. I always had the excuse that it was too expensive or I wouldn't notice a difference once the initial day was over. BUT. I was wrong. Skin feels soo difference. Not tight and thirsty. I'll be putting in some extra extra to maintain these results as the weeks go by.
Every time I try bantu knots they tug at my scalp and hurt, do you have any tips to avoid this? Also, how long did the waves last before they dropped? (Very pretty btw!)
It hurt a bit while sleeping. I had to give a few of them a little wiggle to adjust and loosen so I could be more comfortable. I'm going to try them again and change the placement perhaps to see if there is less tugging. The waves lasted over 5 hours before they looked flat. I didn't want to add any additional products or spray. I would try it again for sure. I think it came out very pretty. A "cool mom" kind of vibe.
@@HairByPierre I did 4 on each side. Wrapped them pretty tight. A bit uncomfortable to sleep in cause I'm tender headed so I may have to place them a bit differently. I for sure thought they all would have unraveled in the night but only 2 did.
A little bit at a time is perfect. I could have taken more off but I'll save it for thr next trim. And I find that certain times I straighten the hair the ends will look healthier and other times it will look like it needs a bigger trim. Looks are deceiving sometimes. Soo gradual is better.
Wow.. good job. I'm glad I watched this video. I've been slacking on my hair care lately. I need to get back into it. Thank you for the hair care videos.
I will straighten 2 to 3 times a month in the cooler months. I will wash my hair before it gets to 14 days old to keep the scalp fresh. Sometimes I will alternate between straightening and natural hair styles. In the summer time I straighten just a few times.
Thank you soo much. This was my 5th big chop. It takes alot of courage to chop but it's worth it sometimes for a lighter mind and a lighter head. I am going to grow my hair back long again but i can definitely see myself chopping before I turn 40 . ❤️
@@shanikacorbbristle brush more tension than the comb using, every time I flat ironing choose brush. Did you have experience using curling iron after you straightened?
@@kenleung7467 I haven't used a curling iron after straightening in a long time but it would create a lovely new look. Especially for a special occasion or taking pictures.
@kenleung7467 I have a big barrel curling iron with a clamp. I have always struggled with how to wrap the hair on the barrel so the curls fall properly on both sides of my head. Similar to when I did the wand curls a few weeks ago, I end up doing each one in the same direction but alternating may give a fuller look.
Thank you. It's been a mission getting my hair this thick. Stopping relaxers was the biggest thing to get my hair thick again. I may not have a thick body but i got thick hair. Lol.
@@VirgosGroove3 that's amazing. Sometimes learning what makes the hair thrive is the hardest lesson. Took me years to clue into what my hair could actually handle. By first big chop was the best.
@@mjgarner123 thank you. My hair feels soo much softer at the ends. I trim the hair to a length I like and then I get my mom to even it out at the back if I missed any spots. It's easier to do it all on my own when it's longer.
I have that set and its pretty heavy, so if you use that you have to have long thick heavy hair. I recommend using a bathrobe roap, it works 100% better and its lighter for short, thin hair. And i recommend using it on dry hair, NOT WET, if your hair is wet then it wont curl.
Thanks for the tip! I agree. It worked alot better when my hair was waist length. A robe or even socks is a more effective way with short hair. I can't wait to try again. ☺️
This heatless curler better for longer hair,mid length hard to do this. Your hair length trying using bigger flexi rod trying both way using heat or heatless see which one you like and last longer.
It's been a long journey for my skin. I have super sensitive eczema skin. Last year my jawline was having nasty breakouts I had to stop eating chocolate. Very sad cause I love it. I got the ordinary last fall season. I use the ordinary about 3 times a week max and avoid around my mouth. I now make sure to put on sunscreen every morning. My face is very smooth. ❤️. I can wear very minimal makeup now. No foundation makeup in over 2 years.
Your hair definitely needs to trim little bit and the face frame . Did you trying using curling iron for this length?using bigger size curling iron curl heat up and set with bigger flexi rod giving soft curl.you can trying this technique. I was trying Ebony’s her low heat soft curls technique.her making that video about 4 years ago. This silk press looks so much movement the hair this time and lightweight.
I agree. A trim is needed. I have debating if I want a blunt bob cut again or light layers. I still haven't decided if I want to do that cut myself or professional. For this video clip my hair wrapped in a bun overnight so that's why it looks like it has a bit of a wave. I'll be trying some more overnight techniques for curls and waves until my next wash day. Fingers crossed.
@@shanikacorbyou preserve your style works for especially some curly hair people they don’t straighten often only 1-2 times a year and keeping over 2 weeks to a month once they straighten.straighten hair once and curl once is definitely safe using heat. Definitely you keep your hair trimmed 3-4 months for better hair growth and health.
Not sure yet. I love the look of a blunt bob but layers would be a nice change. I just need to find someone to help me with the layers. Finding a good stylist in my home town had been tricky for me.
My hair is soo lightweight and flowy cause I did NOT use the Cantu Daily Oil Moisturizer in it like I normally do. The hair had a decent amount of natural shine.
Yeah ...I've been very cautious and light handed with my oil after straightening my hair. It's so easy to overdo. Thanks for sharing that gorgeous hair of yours! 😍
@@carmelacristoforo262 thank you. I love to share. Such a delicate balance when adding in hair moisturizers. Sometimes I'm tempted to water it down and add it to a spray bottle.
Heyy, yes I do. I keep all my skin care products by the bathroom sink. I will wash my fash before or after I shower. I like to apply my face moisturizers and serums when the face is still a bit damp. ☺️
I have had bad luck with shower caps falling off over time or not being big enough for all my hair. My hair used to be twice as long. I'm still looking for a shower cap that stays on my head secure and is big enough. 🙏🥰
@vixelscoffeehouse the humidity is wild. Combination of the humidity in the bathroom from summer time plus from a how shower. Having the hair wrapped up like this keeps all that humidity out. Thankfully. 🥰
Oh no. It could just need a really good clarifying treatment to refresh the strands. When my hair starts to feel " weird " that's when I know it's time for am extra boost. Head and shoulders has always worked great to manage my dandruff and dry scalp and it really strips the hair or excess oils. I have been using the rose herbal essence shampoo lately and 2 washes of it leaves my hair super clean and light weight but not stripped. Do you wear your hair in tight contained styles? Sometimes that makes my hair smelly just from natural body heat and everything just gets trapped. Don't let your hair stay damp for a long time, it would make a musty smell as well. Let it all out and let it breathe each day for a bit if possible. ❤️❤️
I used a wave former at 400 degrees for the first time and am not sure if what I'm smelling is burnt hair or somethjng else? For example I just put it in a bun today and am still smelling somethjng.. Does this mean my hair is burnt just off of one use? 😢
Heyyy. Hmmm. Could have Ben thr hair burning or... if you had any residual moisture in your hair like from water or products. Was your hair dry from residual water moisture. The burn smell will go away once you wash it. Keep the hair moisturized and nourished. If you try the wave former again, use a heat protectant and give it time to absorb into the hair so the strands are dry before you place it onto the hair. ❤️
