Girl, you are saying something about natural hair folks not having long or healthy hair usually! I thought that I was the only one who noticed this lol. I am a flat ironed natural and I support women who relax.
I find that natural works best for me. Is it hard work? Absolutely, but I would never go back to a perm bc it was too harsh for my hair and made my hair way too thin for my liking. I’ve even thought about being a straight natural, but it seems like too much maintenance to keep it straight (and too much heat). I also feel like my hair would get way too frizzy bc I live in an area where it’s always super humid, so that’s a no go! It’s all about preference. I love how versatile black hair is. Long, short, permed or natural doesn’t matter. Just wear it how you love it! 😍
Your hair is beautiful and inspiring. I totally agree with what you said about having healthy hair overall. I also have grey relaxed hair and embraced my silvers. I love them❤
My dear black/Asian little sister....YOU are proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks! I have had natural hair for over 10 years and on a whim, I decided to try the Pureology Color Fanatic and Redken Anti Snap, since you use them and are my hair goals, on my 59 year old self.....gurl....you were not lying when you said there is so much moisture in the hair!! I sent a picture to my stylist and her mouth dropped!! I am post menopausal and had lost so much hair from menopause and now my hair is almost to my bra strap!! I credit that in part to YOU, little sis!! ❤❤ You just wait...slow and steady win the race....I predict your channel will blow up soon!! You are a true gift!! 😊❤
Ahh thank you!! Yess you certainly can teach an old dog new tricks!! Awww i am so glad my suggestions have helped! There’s nothing better than hydrated healthy hair!!! I love that!! Sometimes with hormonal changes too, it can be soo hard on our hair! Way to go!! I know your hair is as beautiful as you are! That’s awesome 🥰❤️❤️
Yesss, that's it babe!! I wish things could be different, but right now this is what works for me! Queen Helene is an OG staple for sure!!!! I love that it's so affordable and works SO well! Can't wait to use it tomorrow ♥️
Thank you for this hair update video. I appreciate you sharing all of your tips. Trust it hasn't gone unnoticed! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. I have been relaxed for over a year and your DIY Mask has been a staple in my routine and has proven to be the truth....Now I am on the search for my "Old School Stylist"...yes roller sets, wash and curls (bumped trimmed ends)...healthy hair!!! Thanks you soooo much🥰🥰💇🏿♀
You're so welcome my lovely!! Ahh I am SO glad the DIY hair mask is working well for you! Yess, "old school" stylists foreverrrrrr! Roller sets, wash and curls, yess haha. I love that!!! ♥️ ♥️
I have relaxed my hair for years and still do. It allows me the flexibility with working out every day. I wish someone who wears wigs/weaves for so-called protective styling would tell me not too relax my hair. 😂
Thank you for posting this, I am a relaxer girly too I just feel like you have to do what works best for you and your hair no judgement here!!! I really like the products that you use I definitely find it easier to use what your stylist uses it helps them also your hair is so beautiful I have used that protein treatment that you recommended and it’s really good I enjoy hair talk my favorite videos💖
Ahh you’re so welcome babe! Yess we have to do what works best for us! Others may not understand, but it’s really just hairrrr lol. Yes it really is easier to use what the stylist uses and keep up with your routine at home! Protein treatments are sooo good for your hair! Thanks so much! So glad you enjoy hair talk vids! I plan to film my routine soon!
Hey Keiko! Your hair is gorgeous. I love me some old school Queen Helene. My grandmother used it in her shop and I’ve always been a fan. I’m definitely going to try some of these products. Thanks for sharing ❤
Ah thank you lovely! Whew Queen Helene will get you right!! I love that so many of us have early memories using it soo many years ago! It’s truly always been a staple!!
I totally agree healthy hair over length any day. You know I’ll go back to shoulder length with the quickness if my hair doesn’t have that luster I’m looking for. I too have a stylist that is very accepting of me also taking care of my hair myself in between visits but she’s 60 and WELL VERSED in hair. Great tips and products as always I started using the Queen Helen also and it’s become a staple.
Yess boo!! You get it!! Whenever i see you change up your hair I’m like, she wants health over everything!!! Wheww we love a SOLID hair stylist okay!!!! I’m so glad you love Queen Helene too! Staples are all we need ❤️❤️❤️
Your hair is gorgeous as are you! I believe people should do whatever they want with their own hair and it is nobody’s business. Now, I had to stop relaxing my hair due to health reasons otherwise i would still be relaxed. It’s just easier. I have been natural again for less than 3 years and get silk presses about 3 to 4 times a year. Most definitely health over length. My hair was just above my bra strap but because my hair has thinned out (blood pressure meds) I had the stylist cut it to my shoulders. Great video! Thanks
Thank you lovely!! I think so too!! It's just hair. Whatever works for someone, I love that!! Health over length for sure. I am glad you stopped relaxing and your hair has been thriving, that's so important!!
Relax hair can be healthy!!! We do not have to keep apologize for our decision to chemical process our hair. News alert: relaxer free hair can also be damage. People just do YOU!
Whewwww thank you for this comment! You are so right! On ALLLL accounts!! People just do youuuuu! That’s so true! I love everyone. I do not care what someone’s hair looks like or is treated with! We have to get beyond that!!!❤️❤️🥰
This is what my daughters hair looked like. Our herbalist shared it was a vitamin deficiency and probably unknown stress too. So interesting. Great video
Salon Atmosphere is Everything! I’ve done the Same thing too….. Went to the “Who’s Who” in the A, to juggling Quality Customer Service! Finally found my two favorites and I’m good.
Yesss we love it babe!! Whew the "Who's Who" salons are...interesting lol. I want customer service and healthy hair, always!!! So glad you have found your favorites too! That's so important ❤️
I didn’t relax my hair when I was pregnant and went a full 12 months, let me tell you it took 2 times a month a part to relax my hair again. But now I’m dealing with postpartum shedding 😩. Girl I woke up one day and my edges are gone 😂. Nothing I can do about it. Can’t wait till the postpartum shedding is over. Thanks for sharing these products
Hi babe!! Ahhh i always hear that postpartum hair shedding can be very frustrating. I hope that it stops soon so you can feel the hair you’ve always had! I hate that we as women have to go through sooo much. All the time! Hope this video was helpful a bit ❤️❤️🥰
I have been relaxed from I was about 11 because my hair was so thick as a child. Right before pandemic, I thought I would go natural and short because I wanted something new. Why oh why am I tempted to go back to relaxer again because natural hair is a LOT of work for me. You are right, it really isn't that deep. For many of us, it is a matter of convenience and time.
Hi Cee!! I totally understand that because i think so many of us were relaxed because of the ease and convenience, even as children. Wheww that’s it babe! Natural hair is a lot and a commitment and if you aren’t careful, your hair will still be damaged. You really have to care for it and it learn what it needs. It’s a LOT of work! Hey! I saw do what’s going to bring you peace babe!! It truly isn’t that deep!! Convenience and time you cannot get back ❤️❤️
I’ve been all natural now for about 10-11yrs and I love it, the last night I feel it you choose to have your hair permed do you, I know for me my hair is more healthier than before, now that cholesterol conditioner as a kid I remember my mother doing the egg mixture and your right it does hydrates your hair better then anything on the market and I also use that same deep conditioner I truly love it, great informative video Thanks for sharing!
HI Teresa!! Ahh nothing like being natural and having beautiful curls!!! I love it!! But you are so right, you have to do what works best for you!! Cholesterol is really that product I feel so many of us used wayyy back when!! our mothers and grandmothers knew what they were doing haha! Thank you 🤗
We should feel free to wear our hair in whatever style we choose and what suits our lifestyle without judgement or condemnation. The aim is to live a life of contentment. Great channel ⭐️ !
Girrrrll, you use Queen Helene! 😂❤ True old school, but I love it! I hate that you even have to explain yourself about how you choose to style and wear your hair, but I get it! I am finally going through the natural transition after years of feeling the pressure of everyone else around me. It’s stressful and brings me anxiety, but I’m gonna rock this sew in until conditions improve. 😂 Anyways, your hair is always so beautiful. I love it! I also love how you lean to the side to show your curls and body. It’s always giving! Thanks for sharing as always!🖤
Yesss haha tried & true old school!! And girl, i know i hate it too. I never knew what i did with my hair on my own head could cause ppl to leave nasty comments and. The transition to natural can be a lottt! There’s so much learning and experimenting and i hate that you’ve felt pressure to do it. Sometimes ppl really can be pushy! I hope you find what works for you and what makes you happy! Your hair is beautiful and you always look so beautiful and confident!! Haha thank you babe! I love some bouncing curls lolll🥰❤️❤️
Haha ahh you're so funny babe!! look breakage can be NO joke! It's so important to find a solid routine your hair loves!!! Breakage can be frustratinggggg. You are so welcome beautiful ♥️
I love your hair. So gorgeous. I wore my hair in a similar style when I was relaxed. I have fibroids so I stopped relaxing a few years ago. I don’t know if relaxers caused them or not. I miss getting a relaxer and the ease of styling that came along with it. The one major benefit for me now that I am natural is that my hair is significantly longer than it’s ever been. Not sure why that is. My sister has relaxed hair past her lower back.
Thank you so much! Oh wow, I do hear that relaxers can have serious health ramifications. I totally understand missing the ease of having a relaxer because natural hair can be a lot to maintain. I know you are truly enjoying the health and length of your hair!! That is one thing I'll never argue-- natural is healthier for sure!!! But you are right, you can be relaxed & healthy also 🤗
Thanks babe!! Yess some natural hair products work so great for everyone, I love that!! Hair care can be a lot, it takes some figuring out sometimes. But whewww when you get it...yesss!!
Moroccan Oil is the absolute TRUTH!! I've been using it for years and everytime i try and go for something a bit less expensive...my hair shows her whole attitude 😂😂😂 Ive been off the creamy crack for 15 years but i replaced it with bi-annual Keratin treatments.
Ahhh i wish i weren’t so late to it lol. Haha i love that you’ve found what works well for your hair though!! I may want to look into keratin treatments also!! Thank so much ❤️❤️
@KeikoBeauty I LOVE them! I do them myself now twice a year at Thanksgiving and Memorial Day. It's a bit more heat than I'd like but I'm less worried about runoff, over/under possessing, and burning lol
5:47 I think this is a universal thing. I’m from Jamaica and I was lucky to find a good stylist in my area. It’s way more expensive than the usual stylist, but that’s fine. It was either this stylist or me doing my hair myself, so either works for me.
👋 lovely your hair is gorgeous, it's a blessing to wear your own hair. I love to see it. Love the classy and sassy curls. Your looking like a rich auntie. 💲💯
Hi Twauynetta!! Thanks so much! Yess it surely is, which is why no matter long or short, I’m glad to have hair! Hahaha we love those vibes! 🥰❤️❤️ happy Monday!!
Ugh hair it’s probably the hardest for me lol. Like you I had so much damage and breakage from being relaxed. So I finally found a hairstylist that is about hair health. So I’ve been natural for almost 2 years. But I do wear a sow in to really protect my hair from heat. My goal of course is to one day be able to wear my own hair, and I can say wearing a protective style my hair has grown and gotten so thick and healthy I’m excited to see what the outcome is. Your hair is beautiful relaxed or not and embrace the grey girl( I dye mine) 😂😂but you know when you don’t have the nice grey but you have the brassy grey, yea that me.
Babe it really can be a struggle to find what works for you- then sometimes it switches smh. I’m so glad you’ve found a stylist who is all about hair healthy!! Protective styles are wonderful!! I believe in them fully babe!! And thank you! Look, rocking your grey hair is a task. And you’re right, not all grey hair is created equally for sure ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this video ❤ i am relaxed also i have been dealing w/stress which affected my hair so I'm looking for tips to get back on my healthy hair journey-Your hair is flourishing sis!
You're so welcome Shanice!! Whew relaxed hair can be a lot to deal with. But with the proper tools/products and time, your can will flourish!!!! You're got this babe!! Ahh thank you 🤗
Amen on nt coloring your grey hairs, I love mine too been watching just not in the comments. Just going through some things. Our mom past Recently. And just going through some things but you look amazing❤ Thank you ever kindly God-Bless you 🙏🏽🪷
I’m bald but I really enjoy your hair videos. 😂 I just saw an ad for the Dyson that uses air to dry and straighten the hair. Have you seen it? Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Ahh thanks J!! I’ve seen that Dyson product!! I’m sure it’s awesome too, bc i hear nothing but good things about them. But when I look at the price I’m like- welppppp 😫🤣🤣
First video I've watched from you. So refreshing, you are so pretty and your hair is GORGEOUS. I am also grey and relaxed but I use Clairol Beautiful Collections, it's safe for relaxed hair with no peroxide. I started getting greys when I was 18 so I know.
Ah I am so glad!! I hope you found my tips to be helpful! Whew that mask will have your hair feeling like marshmallows lolll. Thank you for your support ♥️ 🤗
I agree it is just hair. However, now that the research has confirmed that hair relaxers cause cancer/fibroids/hormonal imbalances that have led to class action lawsuits, I hope everyone is aware and gets regular checkups. Be blessed.
I understand. However, sometimes we have to make choices in the best interest of our lifestyles and not health...NOT saying that it's right! Like I stated in the video, I know it's better for me to be natural. But I just cannot do that right now. I just hope that we alllll make the best INFORMED decision that works for us 🤗
@@KeikoBeauty i was natural and i had fibroids with my pregnancy, My body had too much estrogen and i wasn't eating the best. Being natural is good but its too much work lol.
Thanks babe!! Yess health over length!! Cause i almost went back to a bob, something fresh & light for summer!! But i feel you, the process of growing your hair back can seem like it takes foreverrrr! Short hair on you is so bomb though babe!!
I love this video. You dropped some serious gems 💎 Lots of great products and tips. You look really pretty and Your hair looks amazing. THANK YOU FOR THIS !
Happy Monday my friend!! Ahh I hope the tips help!! I feeeeeeel like these are the same tips I always give, but I know my beauties like updates!! Thank you so so much! I hope your week is peaceful & amazing!!! ♥️
1st xmas of pandemic was the last time I relaxed mine. Natural didn't do the big chop and I've been ok I just wash blow dry and straighten and I get same results as my relaxer. Yes lil bit of hotness or rain and it does want to go curly/frizz...I adapted by just scrapping back in a bun my relaxer is grown out now so all even texture. That be me! Yours looks nice and healthy.
Hi Melissa!! Oh wow that’s great you’ve been able to grow it out and maintain the same beautiful results by just washing, blow drying, & straightening!! But i feel ya on the frizz, that was a huge issue for me too. Buns and other protective styles will always save ya!! Thanks so much!!
Heyyyy girl❤You know how much I’ve been loving your hair and I definitely need to step my product game up! I’ll be trying that pureology and morrocan oil heat spray/leave in!! You already know Adwoa deep conditioner is ride or dieeeee🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hey boo!! Ahh hey, what you’re doing for your hair is clearly working!! That Pureology leave in- whewww I think you’ll love it!! And Adwoa is the bestttttttt! Forever lol. So glad I tried it after seeing how much you loved it!!
Your hair is gorgeous so don’t let outside noises tell you otherwise. You do what best for you! My hair is natural and girl it’s not easy to maintain but that is a choice so do you my dear. ❤
Thank you so much! Don't worry, the outside noise does not phase me. I truly believe in every woman and man knowing what is best for THEM. And we should respect such decisions. It's really just some dead hair anyway lollll. Natural hair really is not easy to maintain. And if you aren't going to keep it healthy, it will be damaged as well. You are right! 🤗
I've seeing a bunch of naturals running around hair dry, split, tons of products yet fuss about me with a relaxer mind you they were just relaxed but a few years ago. I've been both and in my 40s I did natural when no one did it then at 55 its a whole different sweat when working out. I liked like a dang on kid with puffs.. After the panny I couldn't wait until the perm was slapped..and totally enjoying...
Okayyyy! I get it for sure!! I think we alllll just have to do what is best or what works best for us!!! Sometimes a relaxer just eased your mind and gives you your time back!! I love my relaxer too🥰❤️❤️
Have you heard about amino acid hair treatments? Design Essentials has a treatment called, strengthening therapy system (STS). It provides manageability for those who are relaxer free and like to straighten their hair without worrying about it reverting or frizzing up once it is straightened. I’ve been relaxer free since 2012 and mainly wear my hair straightened. For the first few years of my relaxer free journey, I would get the Design Essentials treatment about twice a year. Now my hair is heat trained and I still have a curl pattern. I learned to stay away from titanium flat irons and titanium blow dryers. Only ceramic can touch my hair.
Hey I’ve never heard of them! Sounds like it would be a great treatment wow!! I’m going to look into that! Seems like a more “safe” way of having more manageable hair!! Thank you for sharing lovely!!
@@KeikoBeauty after titanium flat irons took my curl pattern completely out, I was like I’m staying away from all titanium hair tools 😂. I recently purchased a Dyson hair dryer. Very expensive but has been worth it so far.
Hey there - I am in ATL as well. Can I ask where you get your lashes done? They are gorgeous and my tech is hit and miss! (And may I also ask - what contacts are you wearing - they are stunning on you!) Thanks much and keep the videos coming!
Hi beauty!! Ah these are just regular strip lashes from Java lashes (javalashes.com). And I’m wearing Air Optics colors in pure hazel! Thank you! Yess more videos coming for sure 🥰❤️❤️
I love all your videos I bought the adwoa deep conditioning because of you I just LOVE IT IS SO LIGHTWEIGHT 😊😊 but yet so hydrating and some how moisturizing 😊 thank you so much. I bought a little sample of the purology leave in let see how is go I’m going to use it this week 😊🩷 thank you so much 🙏🏽
Hi Paola!! Thanks so much!! OOOH yessss! I am so so glad that you are loving the Adwoa Beauty Deep Conditioner, isn't it such an amazing one?!?! So hydrating without the weight!! I hope you love the Pureology as well!! you are sooo welcome! Always happy to provide a tip or product recommendation! ♥️
Thank you thank thank you. I’be been graying since 16 and always colored but coming in this year I just stopped and am embracing them as they are the most plentiful strands I have 😂
Ahh you're so welcome Stephanie!! Ooh you get it!! I love that you're embracing your beautiful strands. There's a different kind of beauty you can admire when you embrace your natural hair color. But it really can be a journey ❤️
Hi there, i don’t use any protective styles (at least i don’t think so lol). And i only manipulate my hair every 2 weeks when I wash it. Otherwise it’s just daily brushing and combing!
Hello...Your hair is very pretty. I am looking for a good stylist in atl that focuses on healthy hair. Can you advise on the stylist that does your hair?
Hey ladybug, I love your channel. I took am a relaxed girl but medication took my hair out. It's growing back just thin. I'm going to try your conditioners treatment for a while. I really want to go back to a perm. I only relax my hair twice a year. Help pleaae
Hi beautiful! Thanks so much! I’m so sorry you’ve been having troubles with medication. That can be hard bc you sometimes just have to wait until your hair gets back to what is considered normal. I hope that’s soon for you hun! Definitely try the DIY conditioner, it should help with strengthening your hair for sure!! Sounds like you’re doing everything right! Probably will just take some time. Hang in there ❤️🥰🥰🥰
Great video as always. I'm currently natural (wavy hair) but I prefer to straighten and dye my hair. Frizz is a big issue where I'm from, Clarksville TN. My question is that any of the products you have mentioned would work for my hair? Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much lovely!! Ahh i know what you mean, frizz is no fun and it seems impossible to tame sometimes! I’m not sure if any of these are made specifically for frizz. The only i can think of that would work to take frizz would be the Pureology leave-in conditioner. But you could use the other products as well for general hair maintenance!❤️❤️
You don’t have to explain you got a relaxer and that’s what it is….Thank you for the information…I’m natural and it’s dry going now to get some conditioner….
Thank you so much! I’m glad you all understand! And you are most welcome! I know you’ll love the DIY conditioner OR the Adwoa Beauty one, both great choices ❤️❤️❤️
Hi lovely! And no I wasn't, I always film in leggings or pajama shorts/pants LOL. I got the top at Lane Bryant yearsss ago though! I do shop at Shein sometimes!!
Hey lovely! I apply the Pureology spray then the heat protectant. But i guess it shouldn’t really matter! Just as long as you apply the heat protectant to damp/wet hair!
Hi, Im new to your channel. Ques: i have very fine long (little wavy) hair. What would be the best for tangles or a good conditioner with a lot 'slip'? 😊
Hi Dawn! Thanks for supporting!! Ahh I’m not exactly sure about that as I have not had curly hair for some time. But i would say look for lines specifically made for natural hair! I know a lot of my friends love Mielle Organically (not sure of the spelling)…also check out Doctor My curls on Instagram & RU-vid! She is a curly hair queen!!!! She can definitely steer you in the right way! I’m sorry i couldn’t help more ❤️❤️
