same here, women staring at my forehead and hairline to see where it was 'melted', or dropping snide comments that I wasnt being '100%' or accusing me of being dishonest. some would sit behind me at gatherings to 'check' for tracks, clamps, combs etc, then somone coming to me secretly later to tell me women are bitching about me, wow. nothing against those who wear wigs etc, but dont assume that everyone is. smh
@@roseanncampbell7294 Imagine if they spent the same energy on taking care of their hair than they do on gossiping about yours! They’d have their own beautiful hair to care for. Stay blessed
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!

Her hair is definitely real. People have become so accustomed to fake hair they can no longer tell the difference. I wish we would spend less time talking about hair and actually do something productive for the community and each other especially in the USA.
@@fatimamanneh9432 Sure they do. I see them do it anyway. Thick hair is rare among white women too-especially blondes. Thick hair on them is suspect; extensions or they’re not natural blondes. They check each other’s roots looking for that late touch up or the spray on 👀
It's so sad that you have to prove that it's your own real hair. People have this misconception that Black women can't and don't have long hair. We don't have to wear weaves to have long hair. I am so happy that you promote healthy hair care. Thank you

These same people will never go find someone with dreadlocks and ask them if their hair is real but let your hair unencumbered and flowing and they get into a trance! A real shame!
You're so classy. Thank you black queen for your classiness and just the way you express yourself I feel proud to be black just hearing you speak. Thank you for representing alot if not most of us black women in a positive way. Bless you.
Congrats on 30k! You're so pretty! And your hair is gorgeous💝 and people just hating girl because you're fine👍🏽 let them hate! I need some of your workout tips because honey YOU ARE snatched!
I love you, Victoria! Haha! I am acutely aware of the more I grow, the more people get jealous and want to tear me down. It's ok. "Nobody watches you harder than those who don't like you. Might as well give them a good show!" LMAO! And thank you for being a part of my growing community!
Also, hair, skin tone and features VARY in blacks.. It's like being black, and being biracial. Sometimes full blacks have hair like hers, and biracials could have 4c the hair

@Kathleen King, yeap! My mom is biracial and has coarse type 4 hair, but her half sister (2 black parents) have soft type 3 hair, the kind that just need water and grease for a nice slick back bun😂
Good morning from California! I wanted to let you know how much I truly enjoy your videos. After having relaxed hair for most of my life, I went natural a few days before my 35th birthday. I did the big chop and I did not enjoy short hair at all! That was 9 years ago and I have to say, I’m over MY natural hair. I think natural hair is beautiful but I’m ready for a change. Once I started thinking about relaxing again, I joined your Facebook group. I had a big realization because of you. When my hair was relaxed, I took care of it horribly! The relaxer wasn’t the problem. My habits were. I want to thank you for taking the time to educate women on how to care for relaxed hair. I’m in the process of searching for a good stylist and plan to go back to relaxers once I find one. Thanks again!💛
Ladies all of our hair grows. I have had long hair all my life. I get it from my families genes. We never did anything special or used certain products to make it grow. What we do is keep it from breaking off. I relax my hair about every 2 months, so I wash and deep condition my hair once a week. Sometimes I blow dry and sometimes not. I'm not one to abuse my hair. I don't do braids or cornrows because that hurts. When using any type of heating tool I always use some type of heat protectant. I do recommend having your hair trimmed. My version of a trim is at least 1 inch. Now I know some folks will disagree and that's fine. That's just what I do. Writing this posts reminds me of a picture I took with a bunch of friends when we were about 8 years old and had visited our zoo. Although it wasn't planned but all of our Mothers put our hair in 2 pigtails and all 6 of us had long hair and the pigtails went past all of our shoulders. And for the record I am not mixed. I am a very dark skinned woman. Like I said, keeping your hair from breaking off is key. If you have to relax your hair every few weeks because you have regrowth, that means your hair is growing!
I love your videos. Also you speak so eloquently. I grew up in a very rural town, many people spoke broken English. I spent most of my adult life learning conversation properly. It's refreshing to hear you sound so authentic.
Dom, you hair looks beautiful! Please remember receiving hateful comments means you are doing something right that others envy. I had a male friend actually run his hands through the back of my scalp because he thought I had a weave…crazy!
I can't even begin to explain how amazing this video is! I feel a bit of the same and can relate to everything you said. Once I stopped listening to youtube and influencers about things I should be doing to my hair and once I started observing what my hair actually likes it began to thrive and is the longest and healthiest its ever been. Keep doing what you're doing! Love it! :)
Same thing happens with my daughter. Even her father’s wife didn’t believe the fullest and length of her hair. Mind you his wife has weave. Don’t hate appreciate the wisdoms she shares.
I'm with you, babe! I recommend it to anyone who will listen. LOL! I also take it on vacation with me to the islands because it just creates the best beachy hair and curls. LOVE!
Your hair is so beautiful 😍 I feel bad that you have to show people your scalp to prove it’s your hair. That’s crazy, you don’t owe any one that! Anyway, thank you for the tips Dom!
Congratulations, Dom, on your major hair growth (retention) as well as your growth in reaching 30k! So well deserved! Your hair is absolutely beautiful! Here’s to another 30k +!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have watched/followed you for years and not once have I thought your hair wasn't your own. You have given me some great tips, but not all have been good for me the ones that have has my hair in the best condition it has ever been in. So thank you xxx
I nearly died laughing when I saw you part your hair to show you have no weaves in. That was literally my life when I used to wear my hair relaxed. Friends who were unconvinced that it was my real hair would casually lean over and accidentally run their fingers in my scalp even though I protested it was mine. 😂. That was a while ago, I've been natural for about 6 years and very happy with the results of my hair journey, managing to grow 12 inches from scratch. I'm thinking of relaxing again and am petrified to take the plunge after finally figuring out how to handle my natural hair. When I was in living Calgary, because it was so dry, I could flat iron my natural hair and it would keep for two weeks. I could let it out, it was beautiful. Now I live in Jamaica near to the beach with the humidity hovering about 70 percent on average, my hair has become a giant mop. I discovered a trick that works for me though. After the flat ironing effects start wearing off after a few days and my hair begins to curl up, I part my hair in two from ear to ear, do the back in small plaits, and scoop the front over the plaits. It cuts down the puffiness and you can't tell from the front that that the back is in plaits. I'm thinking of doing that to help stretch my hair when I finally pluck up the courage to relax. Thanks for making these videos, they are definitely helping with the decision to resume relaxing.
I live in FL and was natural for 4yrs. I relaxed again mainly because I wanted a bob but the heat definitely had a hand in how I styled my hair, lol. One thing that was different in being relaxed a second time around and after having been natural is that I knew better on how to take care of my hair. Take your time to make your decision but I figured I'd share. 💜
Girl, I loved this video and you look absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the tips. I too was using toooooo much protein. I recently changed products, as recent as this week. Semi permanent colors do not last long in my hair. Could you please share the brand that you use. You are such a class act. This video was refreshing, from the natural makeup, nails, eyelashes everything (chef’s kiss). This was all very genuine, you were not condescending, simply matter of fact and I love it!
Huge props to you because you are one of the few Relaxed youtubers left ❤️ my curious a$$ went natural after pretty much being relaxed all my life 😅 not because I hate relaxers but because I wanted to know my what the natural hair God created me with looks like
I'm just frustrated everytime people accuse us of not being able to grow long hair. It's so mean spirited. Your hair is beautiful, and you're gorgeous.💚
Omg, that comment literally made my mouth drop, like what?! I've been on a hair journey for years some things I do the same some different but I can say that the "high end" products has made an absolute difference in my hair. The minute I didn't have to moisturize and seal on such a regular basis (rarely at all actually) is one reason among many that I knew those products work. I still use drugstore products but the majority are salon. Your hair is GORGEOUS, lol. It definitely makes a difference in listening to your hair, mine loves hydrolyzed anything and I also noticed products with betrimonium chloride in the first few rows does well in my hair. Great video!!
@@pristay7 Let's see, my staples right now are a lot of chi products. I like the keratin shampoo and conditioner and their total protect leave- in, that's actually one of my favorites. The Paul Mitchell tea tree lavender shampoo and conditioner is really good because it doesn't have any protein in it. I also really like the AG bb cream leave-in because it does like 10 things in one and it's similar to the chi total protect. The Paul Mitchell skinny serum is a must have for relaxed hair. I have a problem when it comes to buying leave-ins, lol. My favorite brands at the moment are chi and Paul Mitchell, they have a product for anything that you're looking for. Check ulta because they always do a lot of bogo half off on salon products. Redken is another well rounded brand as well. If you don't mind spending the money olaplex products are great for relaxed hair especially the #3, I definitely noticed a huge difference in my hair when I started using it. Hope that was helpful.
I'm going through Very bad morning(all day) sickness, I haven't been able to take of my relaxed hair,and watching your videos make me smile. Your videos about hair are very really informative and helpful. I love your classy,honest vibe! Keep doing it.
I found that minimizing sugar intake reduced nausea. Higher blood sugar triggers nausea. And also turn your wifi off at night, as this can cause nausea also (emf in general.) Take a good multivitamin as well and congratulations!
Everything minute of this video was amazing. Confidence dropped from it and that is everything. As always you look so classy and chic girl. Brava!💗💗 P.S. my hair also loves being left alone, hates protein and loves high-end products and dusting. I wear down because it’s fun and feels like freedom. Yet I put it up often through the because, like you said, it’s heavy and hot. LOL
I hear you on listening to various RU-vidrs. It's important to understand what tidbits you can take and what doesn't work for your hair. Like I've learned that I need protein every week. Otherwise I get moisture overload and my hair breaks. What I have learned from you is to use the best quality hair products you can afford. Once I spent a bit more on quality products my hair started to take off. Keep up the great content. Love you Dom!
When I subscribed to your channel it was b/c I wanted to support a woman of color and the added bonus was you're Canadian like I am. Now I'll be watching b/c I'll be relaxing again after being natural. Thank you for withstanding the haters to continue to be of service.
The low but suits you so well! I love wearing it as well! And I’ve gone salt and pepper and love the streaks shining through Please share your makeup routine as your skin always look ls soooo lovely 😊
Oh the haters will come out of the wood work. UGH!! I am grateful for your videos and guidance! You have helped me regrow my relaxed hair over the past few months! So glad I found your videos/tutorials. Thanks for being there. Be encouraged and keep bringing us more helpful content!!
OMG I literally follow most of these tips and I’ve retained so much length!! everybody including my stylist has been commenting about my growth. Only difference is I use absolutely no protein. Olaplex on my first wash after my relaxers. And I use the s curl to only moisturize my ends and edges. My hair is fine so I stay away from oil. wash in warm water only. When I use cold water I’ve found that none of my products actually soak In. excellent video! ❤️
Your hair is gorgeous, haters gonna hate lol. I can relate to a lot of what you said, i'm still struggling to find what products works best for my hair. I know for sure I can't do long relaxer stretches, my hair hates that, it just starts to break like crazy, i'm like you, 2 1/2 months max. I also don't comb everyday either, and working from home has really made that easy. For me less manipulation is key. Love your videos.
I appreciate the fact u share ur knowledge to grow our hair qlso...whatever ppl opinion is pertaining to u and ur hair, or even u life in general, thats their problem....u dnt have to prove anything to anyone..tothe ppl who no and love u....ive learned ppl are gonna talk and find something to talk about and disagree with...so LET THEM TALK...KEEP BEING THE DOM WE NO APPRECIATE AND LOVE....THANK U.💙💙💙
Why are people hating on you??? You are BOMB! And this informative video was wonderfully presented! I would love to see your night hair routine. Dusting works for me as well! Thank you for sharing!!💯
I switched back to relaxing my hair. I'm glad you made RU-vid content how to care for our hair. My daughter had hair to the middle of her back when I was taking care of her hair. I try to remember what I was doing for her hair. lol
Yes my relaxed queen!! You’re my hair goals…. My hair is getting longer and I can’t wait to get to your length!! I just use clip ins for a little length for now
You look amazing, you should not have to prove anything to anyone. People on my job says the same thing about my hair. And ask what i use to keep my edges looking naturally flawless, I just smile. I love your layers.
Congratulations on 30K…. Two benefits of the pandemic for myself has been skincare (regular masks, strict application of skincare products) and hair (really listening to my hair and major decrease in heat use)…you post great content…continue and block the “self angry” individuals.
I’m so glad I found your channel! I have lost a lot of hair/am going through a lot of shedding due to hormonal issues, an iron deficiency and the need to switch up products. Also, I’ve been stretching out my relaxers for too long. I just ordered so many of the products that you suggested and can’t wait to try them. My hair is long but has become damaged due to too much heat (I’m now roller setting and staying away from the blow dryer). I bought a new non-damaging flatiron too, and I’m taking iron supplements. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and all this helpful info. I now feel confident that I will get my hair back on track. ❤️ Btw you look beautiful with your hair down AND with the bun!
Congratulations on 30k followers I am one of them 👏🏿 I follow some of your advice on hair routine and it’s working for me.. Your hair is beautiful and lush, I use to have women pull my hair to feel if it was real.. I cannot believe you have to prove your hair is yours… keep doing what you do.. it’s fabulous to see you give some much to your followers.. look forward to more updates 🙋🏿♀️
Dom, people will say whatever they want to, just speak your truth. On the flip side, there have been people who pass-off weaves and hair pieces as their own, so people have become skeptical. Love your content 🤎🤗! Keep doing what you're doing.
I truly appreciate your honesty. Congratulations by the way for over 30,000 subscribers 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏. I am learning my hair now and pretty much doing what you said, listening to my hair and not everyone else. I did relax over a year ago, but did not really know how to take care of it, so I went back natural. I want to relax again, however, I will look for a really great stylist. I am working on taking better care of my body from the inside out and my health, which includes my hair. I realize my diet plays a big part in my hair, including supplements. Eventually, I will be able to afford to get my hair done once or twice a month as well as buy products, including foods with the best ingredients. One thing I have learned, people will hate on you for no reason at all, other than the fact of jealousy and they are unhappy with their lives. We can only make a better life and world for ourselves and those who choose to listen, change and reach for the same goals. I look forward to your semi-permanent dye video. Keep growing Dominique. Blessings and much love sister♥️♥️♥️
Dominique, I love, love the video, and you are glowing! I appreciate you saying what is working for you. The takeaway for me, is for people to put in the work for themselves, and learn what's best for them. I think your haters are mad about their own lives. Continue to live your best life!!! Take care and be well. 😊😊😊
Congrats on 30k plus subs. Next 50k subs. Hair looks fabulous. Please ignore haters. Jealousy is pathetic. Block and move on. This is about their insecurities.
Love your Channel, love your hair and love you♥️ thank you for making your videos and for all women ITS OKAY TO BE RELAX YOUR HAIR, do what makes you and your hair happy !!
Dominique your hair is beautiful. It's unfortunate that a lot of black women have to work so hard to learn and understand their hair and so it's easy to resent a woman who achieves that success. Keep it up- you're doing such an importantt service that our community needs.
Hi Dom! If you have haters…you are doing things RIGHT😀. Just ignore the noise and continue to be the BLESSING to the healthy hair community. Have you ever experienced your hair shedding? If so, what did you do to make it stop?
🎉30,000 CONGRATULATIONS 🎊👍🏾👍🏾 Thank you so much for sharing so much information and links to potential good products! I'm older and thinning at the top and sides so it's been a serious disheartening struggle for me to find what my hair likes. I was told that I NEED to work on my inside health diligently for inside out wellness! I subscribed 😊🙏🏿💚💙
1. People are silly. There is no reason why you should have to prove your hair is YOUR hair. It's beautiful, they are just jealous. :-) 2. I agree that stretching your relaxers out does not work well for all people. My sister gets her hair relaxed 2 - 3 times a year. However, if I go more than 8 weeks it looks reeeallllyy rough and it challenging to comb. I have followed you for years and have always felt you were honest with sharing your experiences. Thank you for your tips and sharing what works best for you! Pretty sure I'm going to try S-Curl now. Lol!!
Wow! I haven't watched any of your videos in a mighty long time and I saw this video and was oh my goodness her hair has grown!!!!! It's so beautiful!!! Such a classy lady and I love it ♥️
Thanks for sharing this. Your hair is beautiful! It is clear that your hair is thriving from your regimen. You are a good teacher and explain your rationales well, and I always learn a lot from your videos.😃🌼
No one asks me if mine is real because it is grey, lol. I do use nice hair care products and since the pandemic my hair has grown several inches past my bra strap. I can’t use a lot of protein either. I use great products, super good but light oils, deep condition and don’t handle my hair too much either. It does get tangly and I do think it is because of the length. I use a wide tooth comb because a brush doesn’t work on this length. I also relax every 8-10 weeks or you’re right it just doesn’t look like I want it to. Great video, pay attention to your hair.
You’re a very classy Lady, I wish you were my mom lol.Such a good role model. You’re doing amazing and the more you flourish the more the haters! Do YOU and brush them off because you’ve got nothing to worry about ❤️I just love how genuine you are! # A real Queen 👑
Congratulations on the success with your channel!!! I’m so happy I discovered your channel. Although I don’t relax my hair, I really enjoy all the tips.Speaking of tips, my hair doesn’t like to be handled too much and I found wrapping my hair to not work that well for me. Like you, I typically use clips or put up in a high pony atop my head , then my Silk cal. I either use a few couple clips or pin curl my all my hair and it turns out great!!
Hi there. I just watched one of your previous videos, re: the steps you have taken to get your hair to heal and grow. I often watch you on t.v., which prevents me from liking your posts. So I jumped on here to "like" it (well this one) and to tell you and thank you for telling us about Scurl!!! My hair is evey very weird and acts out horribly with lots of products. I never know what to expect, and I lose gobs of hair each time I wash it. So I'm VERY reluctant to try new products. But I went and got it today, and just tried it on my pony tail, and it was Great!!! I thank you soooo much. I really needed this, as my hair tangles sooo bad!!!I think that out of all of you guys, your content has been the most helpful. Your a perfect balance of confidence and humbleness. I really enjoy you. Thanks again. ♥️
My dear people are just reflecting their own insecurities! My hair has also thrived during the last year and a half and I have had so called friends make comments to me about a weave. No shade I wore weaves for years and loved them last one was in 2012. So to have a "friend" make a comment like that was like Bish please! You look great, you are beautiful and articulate and I hate to say it but you are not a light skinned girl so you cannot possibly have long hair. It is self hate and I have no time for it. The way I look at it and confirmed by my doctors healthy inside means healthy outside: exercise, eat nutrient rich diet and good habits will do it every time. The best revenge to paraphrase the Bard is being fabulous!
My sister’s hair is longer than your’s and her daughter’s hair is waist length. Their hair looks natural because they were blessed with that grade of hair that doesn’t break easily like mine. Your hair looks beautifully natural to me. I would never think your hair didn’t grow from your scalp.🌸
You look so gorgeous and your hair looks so lush and it's indeed growing because I remember the last time you cut it. Don't mind the negative comments, you're doing great! I'm inspired to go get some collagen supplements now 💃
Your hair is thriving and getting better every day! Thanks to you I’ve learned to really listen to my hair. After a 3, almost 4 month stretch, I realized my hair doesn’t like a stretch past 3 months on the date or it starts breaking like crazy. And after yearssss of using protein products or products containing protein I realized my hair hates protein! It loves to be washed and deep conditioned weekly and simply wrapped at night. It doesn’t love the blow dryer but lovesss my ceramic tourmaline flat iron on 395 and not a degree more lol. I went my whole 3 months with great hair everyday for the 1st time in years. I really had to listen and be patient and now I feel like finally my hair too will start to thrive🥰 _also thank you for the UNITE detangling spray recommendation…what a game changer!!_
Your hair is looking great, Dom. I’m happy for you. It’s so ridiculous having to explain some things to people who, frankly, are just haters. Of course your hair is down for Instagram but anyone who works out knows you likely pin it back up off camera.
You rock💜💜. From one bougie girl to another I really enjoy your videos and especially this video. I had cultured locks that I grew out for 20 years down to my backside. Actually I grew them twice down to my backside and I got so many compliments on them. Then after 20 years I was done. LOL and now I’m growing out a beautiful Afro and a rock wigs and every color under the sun and occasion. What do I tell people is this you could have “Natural hair and a processed mind”Just do you and be true to yourself. Your hair is only a part of who you are and at the end of the day it’s really not that serious.
When you eat clean ( vegetables and fruits DAILY) ...Deep condition your hair every time you wash your hair your hair will grow....Dont hate congratulate !!😎 I started at EAR LENGHT now im MID BACK....Afro textured hair CAN GROW
New subscriber 👋🏾 I’m loving your videos, and I can totally relate to your hair journey. I recently had a major set back from stretching. And I was in tears🥺 going from mid back to past my shoulders. I realize 8-10 weeks is definitely my cap at stretching. Your videos has definitely encouraged and made me feel better. I love the No combing and no wrapping method. I’ll see how that works for me….thank you!!🙏🏾
