My natural hair story 2020 || Klassically Kept 

Yes ma’am, so many black women are sacred to go natural but the ironic thing is when you do go natural and do it correctly your hair will be healthier and longer than it was when it was relaxed. Yes, I get the question all the time and then when I say I’m black you want to ask am I sure ? 😒

Hey Nina lol ! Yes it is! Actually words have a huge impact on us as humans more than we like to let on, especially as a child and from a parent. My mother wanted me to know from day one that I was beautiful just the way I was; as you know it wasn’t her that relaxed my hair but she put in her big girl panties and dealt with it. Especially in the black community hair is a VERY sensitive subject. If my story can help some one I am glad to share it. I know you are beautiful with your hair natural or relaxed, I can’t see you lol but know from queen to another you are beautiful as you are !

@@KlassicallyKept your kind words mean so much to me. I thank you and the little girl I was so long ago thanks you. And thank you for sharing your story with all of us.

@@FruitIsLove2 You are most welcome Nina.

Thank you ClaimedQT. My mother would be so proud lol. Dont be stranger, thank you so much for watching!

Yes ma’am! Say it again! We are a beautiful people. Our young people need to see themselves in the media and in every facet of their life with the hair that they were blessed with. We don’t need to conform to another people’s standard of beauty.

Hello Fernande! Thank you for sharing. Wow 2005, congratulations. We all have set backs and hang ups, but would never go back!

Hello Yolanda! Thank you! I wish you well in your natural hair journey. Thank you so much for listening to my story.

Yasss I want to know if her momma whipped that behind 😮☕️☕️☕️🤦🏽‍♀️😂🤣😂🤣😩😩

Exactly. My mother told her not to touch my hair and then she waits until my mother goes out of town to do it, complete disrespect . And me not knowing , I thought that was how my hair was supposed to be. Sometimes older generations put things things on their children and the younger generation because that is all they know, and then when we have different views or a different way to approach situations its looked at as rebelling or unacceptable .

OMG, we are hair sisters and Jamaican sisters lol. Yes! there is nothing lazy about being natural. I agree once you get into the swing of things taking care of your hair is like second nature. Now as far as someone else doing my own hair I had a terrible experience in 2014 that made me learn how to do my own hair. I got married over the weekend and that was the first time since 2014 that anyone else has done my hair, my wedding planner vetted her and I watched her do someone's natural hair, some of these hair stylist claim they can "do" natural hair and really they just want your money. If I could do flat twists I would definitely try them, mine always come out looking crazy. I couldn't do the big chop either, to me when I cut of my dead ends , I felt my hair was short, it came right past my shoulders. Protective styling has saved my hair and has allowed me to retain my length and here recently I am loving headwraps, I just feel so royal when I wear one. I have a busy work life as well. Are we family lol ?

@@KlassicallyKept lol Yes girl we family!💖

@@justbeuneik lol i'll take it

I completely understand where you are coming from. I will never get a relaxer again but that does not mean that my natural hair does not test me, there are days when I say OMG , just cut it all off! As you heard in the story it was not my decision, nor did my mother relax my hair, I do think about how my hair would be today , if it were never relaxed, but I make sure that I am still grateful for where I am in my hair journey today.

Right ! Now don’t get wrong I have my days lol but I haven’t looked back since. I l love your puff 😊

Right ! Now don’t get wrong I have my days lol but I haven’t looked back since. I l love your puff 😊

I am sorry about your mother. My aunt who took me to get the relaxer loves my hair. My father loves it as well, and his wife is natural!

Hello Meme! Yes , I was younger and didn't want to speak up, but had that been now I would've definitely spoken up sooner, I could hear my hair snapping. This is the reason I started learning how to straighten my own hair. I know sometimes we don't like to speak up and the hair dresser is the professional , but it's my hair, my money, and my comfort level.

LMBO I get it from my momma. Thank you Raquella. To be honest I am humbled to have this many subscribers, like whaaaat , people actually listen to what I say!!! I am having so much fun with the process, learning and growing. Thank you so much for subscribing, I hope to continue to inspire. 🤗

Misguided actually

Hello from abroad! Yes lol he does. For him he grew up with 6 sisters and all of them had long straight relaxed hair, so that was normal to him and really the only way he thought women should wear their hair. I think his issue was how it was going to look and the fact that my mother was already natural he thought I was going into my rebellion phase, plus I was in college so he thought I was trying to find myself lol . Thank you for watching and subscribing. 😀

Great. I'm glad he likes it and I enjoy your channel 😊

@@naomibonte7039 thank you so much! Don't be a stranger !

Aww hairversary twins lol. I had friend who went back to relaxed and instantly regretted it. Her hair is flourishing more than ever now! she did not big chop the 2nd time, she grew it out slowly

I’ve had so many set backs even since returning to natural but that’s because I stopped doing what I KNOW works for me and that is a simple hair care regimen. The more I over complicate the process the more likely I am of not doing my hair at all. Which has lead to my hair drying out and breaking off. My hair isn’t really short but it definitely doesn’t look like six years of growth. But I’m going back to basics moisturizing my hair and keeping it stretched in twists

@@nigerianhurr90 I have found that as well. When I am doing my hair everyday and trying to complicate things and add so many things to my hair care regime I can notice the difference in my hair. Also once you learn your hair you will notice right away what your hair does and does not like and what it cannot take. For instance wash and go's are not for me lol

@@KlassicallyKept yes! My hair hates wash and go’s as well

@@nigerianhurr90 lol we are not friends

I feel glamourous with my natural hair.

I would say 3c and 4a

Yes! And really, I still don't think she did anything wrong, which is interesting considering she's bald, but anywhoo. I am just glad that I was able to revive my hair and let it be my decision on what to do with me hair.Thank you so much for watching!

Klassically Kept your welcome new subby here . My mother was also like as long as I live with her won’t get a relaxer .

@@chey6557 And initially I believe that was my mother's plan but that choice was taken from her. If I have a daughter there will be no creamy crack in my house lol.

Klassically Kept lol I was thinking the same for my daughter as well . That’s y I went back natural . From your story I’m guessing ur mom is one of those Jamaican who believe in natural beauty

Hello Lady Diaspora, Thank you! Yes you are absolutely correct in regards to me not being 100% African, my father's grandmother was white. She showed up to one of our family reunions one year and I was confused lol. My statement was more so trying to get people to understand that women who identify as black or women who have two black parents ( brown skin ) can have long beautiful hair as well without being "mixed". Thank you so much for watching.

@@KlassicallyKept Yes,now I understand 😊
