I was raised not to just wonder about people when they "randomly" pop into your head, but to pray for them. This was the case a few weeks ago with you, Danielle, and I am thrilled to see that you are well and that your hair is flourishing. All the best in 2024 and beyond, sis.

@nianatura 7 месяцев назад

Oh man ur right

@RaeRoseM 7 месяцев назад

@tmhaddock, from today I’m just going to do the same. Thank you for sharing.

@SingingViolet 7 месяцев назад

I was just think about her the past fee days and then she returns!

@quasar4472 7 месяцев назад

Chile yes! Even leaving a message on the prior video to see if she's okay! She is one of my favorites in the natural hair community who have similar vibes and interests in books and animations!

@toksabuka3723 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing this. It encourages me to do the same🙏🏾❤

@mariasitumbeko6643 7 месяцев назад

You're aliveeeee!!!!! You were terribly missed 💖

@vey5579 7 месяцев назад

Danielle, I’ve been following you since 2018, when I first began my natural hair journey. I was only 14 at the time and now I’ll be turning 20 in just a couple of days. I know this doesn’t relate to the contents of the video very much, but I wanted to thank you for being you. I grew up in an environment where anyone who liked anything from the “black norm” was ostracized or called weird. Seeing a black girl/woman be herself and unapologetically showcase her interests was so amazing for me as I developed. You are so beautiful and important and integral. Love you lots 💕

@latonyanewsome0 7 месяцев назад

Yes I'm getting frustrated with my hair as well mostly because of life, but I can't let it get to me. I also agree with her being who she is. I'm weird like her and it's nice to see someone who's not afraid of it.

@ebonekincade7566 7 месяцев назад

I was going to say the same❤

@cherelled6419 6 месяцев назад

What a lovely message, I hope she reads it one day x

@comoelitamelendez8467 6 месяцев назад

THIS MESSAGE^^^ All my life, felt like I have to feed into the "Black girl" stereotype...big butt, nice hair, glowing skin, not brown[never felt light enough or dark enough] and though at 35 I am still learning to love myself for who I am, I can say I have let go of the "perfect hair" dreams. I have balding in the front of my hair, so challenging for me to hide it and its like the first thing you see. I just pray that we can move past this, that not only men deal with hair loss issues, women do as well even though its not "medically" or "socially" expected, it happens and we should not be made to feel subhuman bc of it. Thank you for this comment! It's helped more people than you realize! 🤍

@nilawarriorprincess 7 месяцев назад

Im so glad to see you back! I have Sickle Cell so I totally understand how stress affects ones body. I really struggle with hair setbacks when I'm having a crisis. Hopefully I lve finally figured out how to preserve my hair when I can't take care of myself. Odd side note: You should be cast as Kyle Barker & Maxine Shaw's daughter if Living Single is ever rebooted. You not only resemble them physically, but I believe they'd rause a child like you, who is proud to be Black & is an artistic, educated, free spirit..

@EpicRealistTV 7 месяцев назад

OMG you're so right about the Living Single thing! I knew she resembled someone, I just could never put my finger on it. I totally agree! And Maxine is my crush in that show. 😊

@nilawarriorprincess 7 месяцев назад

@EpicRealistTV Yes, I was trying to place her too, as she always felt familiar. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can imagine it. They're all so beautiful.

@marleyhill34 6 месяцев назад

I'm a thalessemia carrier and at this stage I want to shave it off and spend the time, money and mental energy on something else that I'm not genetically predisposed to lose every time I feel stressed. Stress is a normal part of life but no one normalises hair loss.

@nilawarriorprincess 6 месяцев назад

@marleyhill34 That's very true. There's so much of an obsession with hair in the Black community that people rarely offer compassion to those dealing with hair loss or other hair issues. So many choose to judge 1st. I wish you the best possible outcome on your health & hair journey. I hope you can find a solution that makes you feel confident & exquisite.

@marleyhill34 6 месяцев назад

@@nilawarriorprincess thank you same to you.

@shanellypooh 7 месяцев назад

So glad to see your gorgeous face and to see you’re feeling better. I’m actually ok with less hair content especially if it’s harming our beloved fluffnugget. I just love your positivity and humor so I’ll make more of an effort to see your nerdpuppy videos.

@bisonchicka 7 месяцев назад

Whew I immediately started crying because currently going through the same thing. The rest of the hair flourishes, but that crown????? 😢 But it’s good to see you back and sharing your experience.

@meh3766 7 месяцев назад

Have you thought about changing the order of your hair care? Like if you are doing a wash and go and you start by placing product on the sides of your hair, start at the crown instead? I noticed that my crown is drier, so it needs more attention while it's wetter instead of allowing it to dry out while I'm paying attention to other areas first. For some reason, spraying it down just isn't the same as caring for it fresh out the shower.

@friedchicken892 7 месяцев назад

If you wear slickbacks they will definately cause that😢

@VintageJ129 7 месяцев назад

Welcome back! Glad you took time to heal. FluffNugget looks healthy, full and black! I love black hair too. 🎉

@FunSizedOreoGirl 7 месяцев назад

I've been here since 2019 and Fluff Nugget has definitely come a long way 💜 I've learned I have tension alopecia due to so many protective styles(braids) and me pulling my hair back for work 😬 So now I have a mohawk but I'm glad I learned about a lot of oils from you and have a guide to my hair growth. Thank you so much for helping me through my loose natural hair journey 🤗 I'm officially locced now but I will always stay tuned just for black hair care content and to support another nerdy black woman! Keep going and overcoming 🥰💖✨️

@Marinlss 7 месяцев назад

I also got a unintentional mohawk last year, I don't have traction alopecia (yet) but my hair is very fragile and decided to break in half when I decided to love my own hair and started doing some very basic natural hairstyles for the first time in my life. It's so nice finding other people with the similar hair so I don't feel alone, unfortunately 4 type hair is SO DIFFICULT to deal with, I never feel like it's happy

@_Italianna 7 месяцев назад

You posted this video right when I needed to see it! I’m getting so frustrated with my hair, but your video really made me take a moment and see that hair has its own ebbs and flows and it will be ok. I also wanted to say I got to meet you at momocon this past year and honestly, it impacted me so much. Thank you for being so sweet!! I genuinely lit up when I saw you walk past me and despite my social anxiety, I forced myself to walk up to you because I couldn’t give up the opportunity to tell you how much your content has helped and positively impacted me. It’s lovely to see other nerdy black girl in a space when you feel so alone. So thank you! ♥️

@rebeccajean1572 7 месяцев назад

Lord, you say that our hair is our crown of glory! I ask that place your hands on Danielle’s head and I rebuke any attack of any hair follicles. I pray that you make her head full to exemplify your glory. I ask that this is the last time lord, but you take this as an opportunity to draw near to hear and encourage her to lay her stress at your feet, she no longer has to carry it in her body bc your son Jesus Christ carried it on the cross. It is easier said than done, but show her that we have a friend in Jesus who she can lean on and who will show us the way, his yoke is easy and his burden is light. We thank you for restoration, we thank you that this time she is will be better bc she will have you more at a deeper and intimate level & even though she struggled, you never left her side. We thank you that we can come and ask for anything… nothing is too small, too foolish. Let all who see her, see a woman of God. Let every physical attribute represent your Glory. Let her never forget you. I give you all honor and power and I thank you for continued health in body in your son Jesus’ name. Amen

I was also diagnosed with Alopecia fairly recently. I’ve been subscribed for years but it’s nice to see someone with similar struggles. Recently it just ejects itself whenever I try to grow it out past a certain length 😭

@miamipalmbreeze 6 месяцев назад

A tip: I don't know if you do or don't but you have to wash your hair at least once a week with sulfates. I wash my hair everyday or every other day; it's good for your scalp and your strand health. Ask any dermatologist.

@marleyhill34 6 месяцев назад

I go through the same thing. I'm a thalessemia carrier and I have neurodivergent stress and I live somewhere with little to no sunight for most of the year. Every year my hair falls out....Mostly in my crown but it falls out in other places too. it usually grows back but I'm exhasuted and need a break from it too. People who only have hair loss from not looking after their hair or damaging styles have no idea what the other reasons for hair loss are like. They basically try to gaslight us into thinking that we are doing something wrong...when we take far better care of our hair than most people. It's just that we have this genetic weakness. And in modern life, you can't avoid stress at all!!

StarPuppy, your fluff nugget will flourish again! A good hair tip is to use betaine on wash day. Betaine is the true moisturizer for dry hair and scalp that prevents tangles, breakage but many naturals do not know about it. Ytube vid: betaine hair moisturizer
