Digging the You Tube shirt lol!! I love that you don't fill your hair with gunk...I'm all for simple and homemade products. My motto is I should be able to use it on both my skin and my hair, if it's toxic to any part of my body it should not be used to begin with. Blessings
Oh I agree with inLoveWithNatural. You are my favorite RU-vid Stylist. You keep it real and we learn a lot from you. You have a kind persona and are confident yet humble. Well wishes and congrats on your baby.
You have so many helpful, healthy hair tips for me and my 7 year old daughter! She has your exact hair texture, 3C/4A. I was so rough with her hair because I had to learn how to do her hair texture. I have learned to be gentle and have been using some of your techniques and now her hair is half way down her back, almost navel length. My go to style for her is twists. I can do so many cute styles for her with twists. love your swim hair care and can't wait to try. She's such a fish!!! Thanks.
I am so very encouraged. I grew my natural hair out a year ago and I am so glad. Now onto natural products so that it will continue to grow. I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
I like that you keep you 'products' simple and use mostly homemade mixtures. It's a great departure from the "you must try this product or that product" mindset that runs through the natural hair community. I've run into other naturals who are trying to kick the PJ habit and I've directed them to your channel. :-) I've done the shea butter mix using your steps and I LOVED it!! I plan on trying the Terressentials and possibly flax gel soon. Thanks for sharing with us!!
I've been using half water half aloe vera for a quick refresher for my face in the morning and I love it. So many of your homemade concoctions can be used for almost any part of the body; it's so versatile.
Hey Nap, I love your videos!! I'm not even really sure how I came across your page but I sat here and watched all of your videos today! I am in the process of going all natural now. I haven't done the big chop yet because I've only gone 3 months without relaxing my hair. I'm thinking I may take that leap around Thanksgiving. But anyway, your videos are really helpful and I am going to start making my homemade products soon. You have given me a lot of ideas!! Thank you and keep it up!
you are my favorite and you have made me go health conscious. now i do all natural stuff and my skin and hair feels healthier. thank you you are God sent to me.
I just found your channel via Taren's channel and I am sooo glad I did. You have answered so many of my concerns & quelled my doubts abt starting the journey. Thanks for being so naturally you...it is rather encouraging. You don't find that everyday on YT. It's a rare commodity. Like a girlfriend just talking to you real talk! Be blessed! I am definitely a new subbie!
IM SO GLAD TO SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SCOPED THE DAILY NEW NATURAL HAIR PRODUCTS IS KINDA LIKE REALLY I THOUGHT THE LAST PRODUCT WAS YOUR FAVORITE AT LEAST KEEP IT REAL
I love how normal you are in your videos. I have watched a lot of videos trying to find someone who was normal and not trying to promote themselves. Stay real!
You might also want to watch the temperature as far as the dryout goes. I totally dried my skin out over a period of time tacking SUPER hot showers. I went to the doctor about my dry patches on my arm, and he said change the water temperature. Once I did, I was a lot better of. Dry patches when away. Water's a give and take
I just want you to know that I am truly just tooooo appreciative of your showing us that essentially find your staple items that work excellent for your hair and body health and be minimal . a lot of youtubers tell us to go and by the store . I use all natural products: braggs acv honey rinse , TERRESENTIALS ( which I will get to ) , as I am dc ( which is store bought but all natural because im not really a mixtress ) , and shea moisture ces ( mixed with jbco and evoo in the container .
Thank you for taking you time out to do these videos I have been natural for 51/2 years with dread locs but making my own products I have not tried to do thanks for your tips this great for my daughter she is three and my hair also. Thank you again and God Bless
Your hair is A LOT like mine, so you're my new favorite! I don't use any heat on my hair except the conditioning cap for deep cond or pre-poo trtmt, so I was looking for a way to stretch my hair. You have great ideas! We have about the same length, but your hair is much thicker than mine. I'm trying the Bantu knot out today. Thanks so much! Keep up the awesome vids!
I've been natural 6 months and have been trying sooo many new products. Your video was a pleasant reminder to stick with what works and in this case it is better to keep it simple. :-)
God Bless you, I wish I lived anywhere near you. you are a lifesaver. Its gonna take me months to keep up with your video. Im watching your videos instead of television. thank you, your time is so appreciated.
I love love love love you videos, they're so helpful! I showed a few to my step-mother today and she is going to try a few things that you mentioned in some of your videos even though she is relaxed but she has extremely long healthy relaxed hair I will definitely be continuing my usage of terressentials hair wash! thanks so much, please do not stop making these videos 2.5 years natural
Awesome there's one component you left out that effects the health of your hair that I'm sure you pay attention to - taking care of what you put in your body: food. Hopefully you'll mention it next time on how important eating healthy. Others may add cleanses and exercise. Thank you a mil for sharing more love you help others to get closer to their lovely state.
I had the same problem for years. I used to be able to treat it with a homemade deep conditioner, then wash it it a tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner and then use jojoba oil when styling. Recently over the last few months nothing seemed to work anymore, the back of my scalp was so dry it made my hair brittle and I had lots of breakage all over. I decided to try Dr. Sebi Hair Food Oil and it has made a huge difference with just one use. This is the only thing that made a difference lately.
Hello...I mix 100% olive oil and 100 % coconut oil in my 100% shea butter...and it becomes a creamy consistency....I love it!!! The moisture/shine is there and my curls are defined :) Hope this helps
Can't wait to hear about the new conditioning product, because the terressentials is the BOMB!!!!!! Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!! Keep the information and your vids coming.
Wow! I can't believe that's all you use. I be going crazy wanting to try every product I see since I did my BC! Maybe I need to try fighting the urge and limit myself to just a few products and start a regimen because I have yet to do that! Thanks for sharing! =)
It's great that u use so little items, I have a millions products but they are most of them natural. Still trying to workout my regimen. Luv the shirt by the way!
If you look at her how to mini twist video, she uses flax seed gel there and I'm think that she used Shea on top but I'm not positive. The Gel is a moisturizer and can seal whatever moisture is already on the hair but if your hair is usually dry, Shea on top wont hurt. I suggest trial and error
i use water as my moisturizer ! but i lovveeeeeeeeeee teresentials. it has made a world of a difference in my hair . i have uber thick hair that ironically retains moisture well if i use what it likes . my scalp had been damaged and become sensitive after relaxers . i now have no scalp problems. i use the fragrance free one because eo and coconut oil along with anything harsh or uberly synthetic irritates my scalp horrifically . but i have manageable soft moisturized hair using 5 things. thanks
You are amazing! Will be using all theses products on my daughters! Referred one of my best friends to your channel and she made the shea butter mix for me and i love it!
You have inspired me to simplify my regimen and go "natural" (product-wise) Still contemplating trying the terresentials wash, but have not decided as yet... Thank you for all your information!
@JadedeaJade I know you weren't asking me but your hair is doing what it was designed to do. Your hair curls up b/c that is what it's supposed to do and instead of fighting it embrace it. Choose styles that hide it until you can grow all those shorter hairs out. You and your hair are beautiful just the way it is and doesn't need to be slicked back or hidden. :-)
Wow this is very informative Thanks so much for taking the time, gave me some great ideas, I just bc'd so I'm at that beginning stage of trying new products
Hi Girly...I would love to see you do a length check on your straighten or flat ironed hair. Are u going to post a video of ur straighten hair one day? Ur hair is beautiful:)
you can wear high buns and cover your uneven textures with a headband! or do braidouts so your hair will be all curly, and you can do bantu knotouts, and other good styles
Thank you sis! I Have few products as well that I use. Natural oils and preparations are best. I just made a batch of flaxseed gel and I'm telling you it is better than that kinky curly curling custard anyday!
you are in my state! Yippy! I am dying to meet fellow naturals who know how to take care of natural hair. I am a newbie natural and don't know what I'm doing. Would love to talk w you. Wish their were natural seminars and workshops here in Ma!
I'm a subbie and love your vids!!! Thank you so much for the flaxseed gel recipe!!! I share it with everyone I know!! It seems like once I started using it my hair began to reject a lot of the other loaded (and expensive) products I was using. So now for me, simpler and homemade (et al cheaper) is best.
@danae417 i would use filtered water just to be on the safe side. my fridgerator has a built in water dispenser and i use that. you could also get a water filter attachment to your sink like brita or pur and save the world by not buying bottles of water! that way youre keeping the world green and keeping your hair soft! hth!!! :)
You are truly 100% AU NATURALE, I say this because you only truly use all 'homemade' natural products, o.k. for the exception of the treessentials, but that's organic right? lol That flaxseed gel is awesome, gotta try to make it. I think I favorited it as well as your shea mix. Love ya girl, keep those vids comin' Oh, love the t-shirt btw-lol
OMG YOU ARE IN MASS?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? IM IN BOSTON !!!!!! dont worry im not pyscho, but im very excited to know that you are like in the same state! you should do a curly meet up or something!!!!
OMG you have to try this product by miavocado my hair is so soft and manageable I am all natural and I use the oils and the butters I promise you . You will absolutely love it. It's made with avocado oils and much more, and I can't live without it
Terressentials Mud Wash can easily be homemade, just need bentonite clay, oils and whatever organic ingredient you'd like in it. There are recipes on RU-vid. I may make my own in the future, but for now since I can be a bit lazy - my order is placed!
@tallbeauty1 there are two stores in MD. One in Frederick and one in Middletown I think... Check their website or google... I just went to the one in Frederick.
There's also a store in Frederick, MD. If you have any questions about Terressentials, send them an email - they are very helpful, even on a Friday night!!
Its hard to not pay attention to your hair length when you see other people start their hair journey the same time as yourself. They have at least at ponypuff or more but my hair is just...idk its depressing. Eventually I am going to change my hair because it breaks off in the same spot, therefore it thin and sparse. The funny thing is I get so excited about other people's growth but mine its a wrap!
Yes I have. I just don't think the problem is getting solved. She wanted me to use an oil/shampoo daily- prescription. It leaves my hair /scalp dry. I did end up doing my BC in September tho! Now I'm just testing products to see what works best.
i just ordered the mud shampoo, i'm a little intimidated by the detox process, but I used a shampoo that completely stripped my hair of all oils and I was so uphappy with it. Shea Moisture, but some of their other products are great.
