I like this video her hair came out so beautiful you did a very good job love it and I got my natural hair relaxed I been natural for three years now I'm back to relaxers .( I have a question how many times should I do a protein treatment ???) 😍😍😍😆😆💖✨💖✨💖✨💖🎶🎵😮👑
You don't want to over do protein treatments as this can hurt you more than help. Honestly, knowing when to do any treatment comes with touch and feel and observation reason why I always suggest going to a professional. But I'm going to answer your question to the best of my ability, protein treatment once every 8-10 weeks
I'm not going to lie, my heart shed a tear or two when you started to process her hair. BUT that's because relaxing my hair is a never for me. Notice I did say my and me in the previous sentence, no hate or judgement here. I'm happy that she allowed someone to do her hair with knowledge and obvious care. It's absolutely gorgeous!
I agree with everything you said except for the "everybody doesn't look good..." comment. I've honestly never heard another race that claims that's its possible for ppl to not look good with a part of their look that happens naturally. In my opinion, everyone can look good in their natural texture if they chose to wear it as long as they know what type of styles work for them whether that's long, short, sleek or big and dramatic. Just the same way that everybody can look good with whatever straight style works for their face shape etc.
For us as Black women our hair texture does matter. She’s right everyone doesn’t always look there best with natural hair . The same way with white people they don’t always look great with black hair or red hair so they apply chemicals to their hair to look their best. I think natural hair is beautiful but for some women it’s just not their best . So they revert to things like weaves wigs or even relaxers . I’m a natural btw so no I’m not saying this for any other reason but I feel we all have a look that goes better with us !
I've been natural for 8 years and me personally I think it's over rated. People can and should do whatever they want with their hair and feel comfortable about the decision they're making, whether it's relaxing, straightening, wearing a weave or braids. It's just hair.
Jessica Bryant i agree with everything you said besides natural hair being overrated. how is hair that naturally grows out your head considered overrated? lol
April Miller Because some people take it way too serious and would say things like, "I haven't trimmed my hair in 4 years or pressing your natural hair means your gonna get heat damage". Some people are natural for a reason and some just wanna join a "movement". Some naturals place way too much judgment on what other naturals do to their hair. I've watch countless natural videos on YT and have read some pretty bad comments, shaming a person for what they do to their hair.
@@jessicabryant4759 I'll raise my hand and admit. Growing up I never saw natural hair in or outside of school, church or gatherings. And when In college I saw a woman with a twa and thought something like "She's not ashamed to go out like that? Doesn't she know it stands out?". Me standing there with my long processed (wanna be) hair in shock. This was in 2010. Natural hair was teased and gawked at. And now here I am with my natural hair so proudly with a different mind set. I love it more than anything in this world and wouldn't trade it. For me it's not overrated, but celebrated every time I style it. I appreciate for what it is and how it is. I made it to WL yay! I still feel bad for not knowing my hair earlier in life, like a newly discovered diamond that I thought was a chunk of coal all these years. Now it shines.
I’m all natural. Some people are “natural nazis” but I don’t consider them as being part of “the community.” We are supposed to support each other, not treat it like a cult. Your client’s hair is beautiful. People can do what they want. Their business.
I admit I was just "going natural" at first to *obtain the length* I needed to get a successful relaxer, but once I saw the beauty and shine in my own "God given" natural strands, I ended up staying that way :)
I’ve had long natural hair all my life and I straighten it every two weeks (with some breaks in between) and dust/trim every time I straighten it. Most of my newly natural friends on their hair growth journey are trying to deter me from straightening my hair but I’ve pretty much kept the same regimen since I was about 8 (waist length) and my hair has done nothing but flourish and remain healthy these past 10 years (past tailbone). It’s all about knowing what YOUR hair likes
I dont wash my hair daily.. my hair is 40+ inches long. Im not washing that everyday.. i wash it maybe once a week and i've always done that. Light flakes in hair is just being human, doesn't bother me one bit. I have dry scalp. I'm white and british. I love all hair types and love to learn.
I agreed with everything you said except for everybody doesnt look good with natural hair. Everybody looks good with natural hair, just like every other type of hair it must be well looked after in order for it to do so. If women dont wanna wear natural hair fuq i look like losing sleep over that? As long as mine is healthy and laid do what yall want.
Thank you for your comment and I totally agree! I think people are misunderstanding what I meant, when I said " Women Don't Look Good with their Natural Hair''. SO LET ME EXPLAIN... Just like any one hair style isn't worn on all women, I feel that wearing a AFRO or Twist Out isn't the only form of natural hair nor does these hairstyles compliment all Women as we have different density, length & head circumferences. In retrospect I love natural hair, however, the natural hair community has only categorized us as natural if you wear ( Fade (BIG CHOP), AFRO, Twist-out, Bantu Knots, ..etc and I was expressing that we too are apart of the natural hair community whether we have silk press, braid, faux loc, Sew in, crochet braids, hair color, and etc... But at the end of the day I promote healthy hair in all forms whether natural or chemically treated, so let others choose what's best for them and their hair. Much Love Trinigyul ❤️
So before pressing combs and relaxers and weaves some of us just walked around not looking right because our hair in its natural state wasnt complementary to us?
Danni Rice hell yea that's why I'm thankful that a beautiful black woman named madame CJ Walker created the relaxer for those of who can't stand natural hair. My hair is thick and the shrinkage is real. It's easy for my hair to knot and tangle. It's easy for my hair to get heat damage. So of course I'm grateful that a beautiful black woman saw fit to create a product to even increase our versatility. And again hell yes ppl was looking a damn fool. That nappy hair ain't cute. Beddy beads aren't cute. That kitchen back there isn't cute. Ppl love saying go natural but back in the day they didn't have all these products ppl put in there hair to.make them curls pop. You folks that's so caught up on this natural hair equals black power is just dumb ASF.
My hair is natural and I think there are too many judgements/“rules” and not enough embracing another persons decision to do what they want to do with their hair. Her hair was beautiful in its natural state and it looks beautiful relaxed. Any hair, I believe, is beautiful when it is taken care of.
Every other races gets to wear their natural hair in it's natural state band it's seen as beautiful and suites them. Why is it that when a black person wears their hair natural you comments of people saying natural isn't for me, or natural hair doesn't suit me. Your God given hair will always compliment you. But If you want to relax your hair and risk scalp problems and health problems that's on you.
White people get curly perms, Hispanics get their keratin treatments and Asians straighten their hair all the time but blacks are the only ones who don't wear their hair natural nah not true we just love to publicize it.
Janay Dixon There are so many people who dye their hair a different color, because their natural hair color just isn't for them. No one has a problem with that.
It's crazy that black women have been conditioned to prefer straight and relaxed hair for so long that they don't know how to keep up with their hair in its natural state. "It's unmanageable and hard to style" no it's not 😂 we just don't know what to do, what products to use, etc. People want to say type 4 hair is difficult because they can't do a wash and go 🙄 I wonder what black women would have done without relaxers, pressing combs, and weaves, I wonder if we would appreciate our natural hair more. 🤔
Black women like every other women have the right to change their hair. Without blond dye, white women would also learn to love their majority natural brunette hair, without straighteners Arab women will also learn to love their curly hair. Without a laptop, you would be outside sharing your opinion with no one but yourself, but the invention of the internet has given you a voice. Hair grows. It's the only thing women can manipulate to their hearts desire and it will grow back fresh and new. Stop holding black women to an unrealistic standards so that they can fail purposely. Oh, and straight hair is also found among black people. I'm Ethiopian with straight hair, zero white in me. As do many in Niger, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Senegal, etc. Perhaps, if you spent less time bossing black women around and instead learn about the diversity of Africans, you will appear somewhat intelligent.
RESPECT ALL CHOICES!!! If you want relaxed hair then do it If you want natural hair then keep it If you want braids then do it But don't force someone else to do something they don't to do (especially those mothers who forced relaxers on their children)
I’m natural and my last relaxer was 10 plus years ago. When I found out how perms can harm your body I was shook and done with them. I don’t care what anyone does to their hair but I cringe when I hear/see ppl relaxing their hair. It’s all out of love though because I want everyone to be healthy and happy with what God gave them. Please do your research on the effect perms can have on your body internally. Your skin is an organ and it can absorb chemicals you use to relax your hair. Be wise guys there’s so many safer hairstyles.
I agree its neither right or wrong if youre natural or not, its whatever brings you joy.................HOWEVER its evident that 30 Years of being Natural has kept her hair thriving. Hope it still thrives a year from now. And would love to see an update
Honestly, her hair was in very poor conditions over the years being Natural until we started her on a healthy hair journey. Reminder healthy hair begins with training. I’ve achieved the same results with women who only get relaxers as well.
I agree that anybody can grow their hair relaxed or natural, ya hair can grow, just have to figure out what works for u. Great video, her hair looked amazing ❤️🙌🏾
Im part of the natural community and ever word you said in this was facts! Folks need to let people wear their hair the way they want. Love this video.
Thank you beautiful, I was hesitate at first on posting this video.. But I wanted to be 100% Real so I said F it.. This is just a small taste of what my clients and I talk about when it comes to hair. Thanks for tuning!
curves2006 Every word is a Fact?? Having your hair the way you were created is Not for you?? Try telling your daughter the way you were created is not for you. I am Natural, every one has the right to do what they want to their hair But Remember young Black girls are watching and FACTS are self hating statements in your eyes??. I'm sorry for Natural hair Bullies, I'm sorry that permed sisters always have to make a disclaimer, its your choice to perm etc etc for what ever reason you choose But to say being you is not for YOU a Fact?
caramel chocolate I said what I said 🤷Folks can do WHATEVER they please with their hair and as a natural I wear wigs, my hair straight, curly, any way I please and don't need anyone telling me Im not true to myself or love myself because I don't want to wear my hair curly all the damn time.
curves2006 I saw you totally missed the mark? I'm not against relaxers weaves blow outs twist out etc etc to each their own. I guess being so defensive to your hair rights thats all you took in.
For me it's the opposite. I have a round face and I feel like when my hair is flat it balances it out, when it's in a round fro it just makes my face look rounder.
Why does having natural hair makes you look like a kid??? You actually look like a grown woman, I don't. No matter if I have natural or perm hair (which I had years ago) I'll always look super young. It's shameful that you think you can't ROCK your natural God given hair and be a celebrity hair styler!
Who am I judging sweet heart, I'm only speaking on past experience which are all facts... And being natural doesn't make you woke, give me a break. I'm telling people to stop judging and do them, I don't know what you heard.
It's not that I think I cant rock natural hair, I preferably don't like all the natural hairstyle options hints why I cut my hair. As for me being a hairstylist in the industry it's all about proving yourself and gaining trust I made a decision that was best for my look and what I was comfortable with. Besides you wouldn't trust your Lawyer or Doctor if they came to you with 2 pig tails? Image in any profession is important, especially when servicing the public.
Stylist Lee I would care more about the resume than the hair style LOOKING like a million bucks doesn't mean that you're worth two cents performance trumps beauty standards in my book just a long as you are keeping yourself together and practice good hygiene for sake of health who am I to judge how youthful your hair style makes you look it's none of my business or anyone else who might feel the need to worry about something that doesn't really matter to the business at hand
The brain washing is strong in that stylist. She thinks twist outs and bantu knots are childish and not "High end". If you want to have straight hair just say you like straight hair, claiming natural hair styles are childish and not high-end/professional is unnecessary.
I am a part of the natural community. My hair does not like any kind of chemical. I have tried different kinds of relaxers, different strengths, different stylists(who have all done a phenomenal job with relaxing hair and growing relaxed hair) and my hair still came out. I have tried other chemical treatments also. My hair just doesnt like chemicals. It barely likes color. I love natural hair. But i dont terrorize people who decide to get relaxers. I cant stand natural girls who talk down other people. Its their hair not yours. I just dont understand this hair shaming thing. Natural hair isnt for everybody. Yes you are born with it but not everybody has the time or patience for the up keep of being natural. Their is such a thing as healthy relaxed hair. I have seen it. My best friend has long, thick, healthy, shiny hair and her hair is relaxed. If its not your head dont speak on it. Easy as that. Its not the whole natural community that are bullies. Well thats my rant. I think you did a beautiful job.💕
Damage and breakage can come with any type of hair. Not just relaxed. It all boils down to proper care and minimal manipulation. No, I'm not a hairdresser, but I've been doing my own relaxing and colors for over 20 years. I'm sure she will be shown how to care for her hair in-between her appointments. Hair grows, no matter what type you have. Maybe she wanted a change. If she doesn't like it, she can transition back. However, the last thing one needs to do is shun her for her decision in regards to the treatment and process she chooses for her own hair.
THE VOICE Her hair is beautiful. The only thing is what's fun is reverting from straight to curly, and also perm rod hairstyles last longer on natural hair. It's fun with natural hair. Though her hair is beautiful. Stylist did an awesome job.
Shannon920 but scientifically speaking, relaxers literally remove part of the cuticle of your hair, literally breaking it down, meaning it thins the hair, making it more prone to breakage than it would be in its natural state. So pseudo science aside, in reality it does make your hair break easier and maintaining length becomes harder with relaxers.
I had my hair relaxed for YEARS and it never grew past my shoulders. I’ve been natural for ALMOST two years and it’s bra strap length. When I was relaxed I went to the salon religiously every 6-8 weeks. Now that I’m natural I am able to cut that down to twice a year and now know my hair much better than when it was relaxed. I will never go back.
Please take some advice. Just accept that with RU-vid comes negative commentators. Your whole monologue at the beginning wasn’t needed because I can guarantee the naysayers will still chat shit and you also killed my excitement . Also don’t lump all naturals together, I don’t care what another woman does to her hair, I’m just here because of the thumbnail, like the others. Also top knots aren’t childish looking you just have a young face.
As a millennial and a natural. Half of what you said is arguable. Just because the perm looks good now, doesn't mean it will in the next year. Her hair is definilty not thick and to act as if..... Ok I don't even have the time. Let me get my millennial, graduate school, bio degree, not liking to learn self out of this comment thread.
Exactly this! Like remember it’s not just your subscribers watching your videos. RU-vid delivered it to me as a video I’d like to watch. And I did. Until I read the description and the ensuing rant.
I'm a "straight hair"natural. I have 3b hair texture but I choose to wear my hair straight 99% of the time. It is easier for me to manage and I do not have to put product on my straight hair everyday. I wrap it up at night, then unwrap and go in the am. It's that simple.
Silk Blow out 😍 by Nakia Morton( in Fort Lauderdale,FL Ngmbeauty LLC & Makeup with a Twist LLC) she can make natural hair look processes when its not. Absolutely the best, worth the trip.
Miss Frog Not at all love. My hair is very healthy. I've been caring for my own hair since I was a little girl. I deep condition weekly and my curls are still "springy." Besides, if I did have heat damage who cares? I don't wear my hair curly anyways. My hair is bra strap lenght and still growing.
Natural it all only if you don't take care of your hair will it break up and had my hair straightened since I was 10 my hair is to my ass super even if you put a typing sheet paper and under my hair you don't even see it white so maybe if you take care of your hair it won't break and maybe then idiots like yourself can stop spreading lies to make yourself feel better
I only half way agree with you. Yes, relaxer run off is NO JOKE to the point were breakage is inevitable without proper care. And I hope that her does not break. Relaxers to have a track record of turning on you after a few years though. They start of good then they jack you up.
My mom's hair is relaxed, myself and my daughter are natural but its not a matter of what people think why we are. I just chose this after surviving cancer three times and chemo... My daughter is thirteen and never had a relaxed hair... In other words... Al three have healthy hair and my mom's grows long and full and so does ours... I believe you are 100% right in choosing the right stylist to maintain your relaxed hair. I don't do anything to my natural hair cause I am lazy and I hate combing my hair but it still grows. Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed
Stylist Lee: I TOTALLY DISAGREE with you about how The Creator (GOD) created humans pertaining to our hair and to love how we were created. WE ALL should LOVE OURSELVES as we were created BUTTTT, if one decides to make changes then do it BECAUSE IT'S YOUR CHOICE NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT YOU.
Arielle Edwards Um God wants us to do his will and his will only. We supposed to obey his living word and everything shall be added unto us. We don't do what we want and call it gods will, then it is not his will, but your own counsel. I see A lot of people are doing that, when scriptures speaks against vanity etc. Gods wants us to live abundantly, but what we have to walk in his righteousness in order to do so. It is too many people have done listen to these false prophets into thinking that God is a Santa Claus. No he is not he is a king. A king that established the law that we should abide in, people that do not abide in the law shall reap what they sow. It is just that simple.
I'm natural and I don't care what anyone does to their hair. I have had the same experience with the "creamy crackheads". I got a silk press one day and all my black co-workers would say " your hair is so pretty when it's straight". Another comment I receive all the time is "I can't do natural". How???? You were born that way and it is very self hating for you as a black women to say some people don't look good natural because they have big heads or etc. YOU ARE ENCOURAGING SELF HATE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND YOU ARE TEACHING YOUNG GIRLS THAT LOVING WHAT THEY WERE BORN WITH ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. I get more compliments from BLACK MEN with my natural hair because they hate the fake weave and shit . If you hadn't noticed by now, most black men are running to mixed breeds or other races. Not because of relaxers but because of the self hate that black women have of themselves. BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP.
OOOOOOH NOOOOOOOO MY SISTA!! I know you may not know me and probably never will but I love BLACK more than you'll ever know... I can assure you that at no means am I teaching self hate, I'm actually doing the opposite. These same feelings you have towards my statement are the same feelings I have about the "Natural Hair Community" as they don't embrace ALL Natural Hair whether silk pressed, or colored, or box braids. The natural hair community feels like if you don't wear your hair in a Afro, twist-out, or bantu knots you cant be apart of the "CLUB" and I'm here to say that is not right! Besides it can't be self hate if your still wearing your real hair.. Everyday a client comes in my chair concerned on what their hair is considered, because their confused based on what stipulation the natural hair community says. Well I'm here to say, whether you wear a SILK PRESS, BRAIDS, WEAVE, AFRO, TWIST OUT, CROCHET, DREADS, LOCS, CORN-ROWS, HIGH LIGHTS, ETC.. You too are apart of the natural hair community despite what society has to say... As for my black men seeking the other side, thats a conversation for another day.. I can talk for HOURS on this subject but not today, its about hair.. Thank you for your comment 2pac's Spirit and for my natural babies do you !
She's just speaking facts.. n saying what others are afriad to say. Its very true. Some looks are not becoming on certain head sizes and shapes---that's a fact. Nothing new. Some of yall waaay to sensitive.
Dazzling Jewel I disagree . Firstly that was not a fact it was an opinion. Just because YOU may think a certain style doesn't look good on someone does not mean others feel that way. It's not even about what others think ,if someone decides to wear a certain look and is confident about it nobody has that right to put someone else down. No other race on the planet does that shit.
2pac's Spirit actually it is true at the moment I’m a cosmetology student and the teach you when styling hair choose a style that best flatters you clients face shape, head shape and size, and their body shape. She is completely right certain styles don’t look good on everyone. I myself can attest to that I recently big chopped and I have a large round face and I don’t think my short fro looks that great sometimes but that doesn’t make me hate myself or my blackness I embrace it more. But if you really listen to her you can tell she’s being positive and not spreading this “self hate” so many people scream of.
Honey this is so true! Natural hair is not for everybody. Natural hair takes a LOT of work. And sometimes all of the experimenting you have to do in order to find things that work for your hair, can make it worse than better. People get tattoos, piercings, acrylic nails, all of that. But if someone were to say “stick with what God gave you. That’s not your natural you etc.” Then you’d have a problem with it. Leave these people who make decisions for themselves and not others alone. Her hair turned out beautifully!
I shaved my head 3 years ago due to a bad hair bleach done by my beautician. So my husband shaved my head but my hair before I went natural would never grow past my shoulders. 3 years later I relaxed my hair and I agree with you I relaxed my hair because I got tired of wearing same styles I never used heat on my natural hair. I did get blowout 1 time soon as I walked out side that silk press went bye bye!!! It completely went frizzy then by night it was curly no more body just stiff what a waste of 💰 I decided to relax my hair and it's the best decision I have made I now know how to care for my hair I only flat iron my hair 4 times a month and it's grown to my bra strap! It's even better before I went natural I think my hair needed a reset and it's continuing to grow I don't regret relaxing it wasn't for me but I'm blessed it's better for my sacrifice.
Aww I love your story! Believe it or not I've had clients come to me with the struggles of growing their natural hair after seeing no results in 5yrs, it's true every persons hair journey will be different and you have to listen to your hair to see what best suits it. Great job on your healthy hair journey and keep up the good work. Thank you for tuning!
Miss Frog my hair have been growing I'm in beauty school and my instructor and I have been documenting my growth as well. Like I don't put heat on my hair but once a week if that but it can grow with a relaxer every one is different I'm living proof. Besides when I do relax I only leave on for 15 min I do not apply on the scalp at all that's what damage the hair follicle which causes hair to stop growing only if hair follicle is damaged.
Omg her hair is GORGEOUS!!! Fabulous job! From a natural who stays in my own lane and can congratulate others in different lanes who are doing well. Her hair is dope!!
I love how honest she is and how she shuts negative people down. I have alopecia and I have been researching wigs and somehow ended up here. I’m hooked now! I love her personality! I wish as a Caucasian woman could find a stylist so knowledgeable about wig installation. With alopecia I feel that a lot of my femininity is lost. I cry everyday working to hide all the bald spots and now have to wear my hair in pony tails to keep from too many spots showing. I use hair powder to hide the ones seen while in a pony tail. I hate how I look and my hair had always been a big security blanket for myself, but now I feel so exposed and struggle deeply when I have to leave my house. I won’t get out unless it is absolutely crucial. I hate myself this way.
Ive been natural all my life (25 yrs) and i find u funny and real, not harsh. I think most naturals with these million opinions are persons who recently "returned" to natural (the woke new comers lol).. its not tht serious for me. Good for them tho.
1. You're absolutely right about how the natural hair community reacts to other peoples hair. 2. I just realized you're in LA and honestly I'm thanking the universe cause I've been looking for a stylist so imma be in your salon soon 🙏🏾✨
It's beautiful! I was natural for 32 years and then I relaxed my hair. I just started transitioning back to natural May of last year. Now I'm sort of torn after seeing this video.
angel5006GodisAble I got mine relaxed a month ago. Those silk press and blow outs didn't last. My tappered cut was cute but it wasn't what made be feel fabulous daily. I'm team do what works for you no judgment.
lovey Exactly, they're crying over it, thats why Im saying shut up about it! Im natural but another natural will look at my hair & say "Well technically ur not natural cuz ur blonde" Riiight! And ummm make up has chemicals too in case u didn't know. It can cause your pores to be clogged, acne, sores, redness, breakouts! Same as a perm for hair! The "white man" has nothing to do with my statement, my whole point was, if ur natural cool but stop trying to point fingers about being who God intended when you're looking like what Revlon intended.
lovey the origin or the reason why one uses perms or makeup doesn’t matter. She’s only speaking to people that are for being ALL natural. She’s saying if you’re someone who bashes other people for not being “fully/really natural”, then they should be “fully natural” before they speak too. But since you don’t like the example of makeup being used, fine. How about those natural Nazis use only all natural, earthly products for their hair too. Because they’re not natural because they use store bought hair products with chemicals (yes even those “natural products). Yeah, see how dumb that sounds?
Amanda Simmons That’s kind of like comparing skin bleaching cream to lotion. Both have chemicals (as does everything) but one is obviously harsher. It’s pretty petty to say someone has to be all natural just because they have an opinion about what natural hair is. That being said, it’s not as if black/brown hair has been deemed ugly or unacceptable by society, and as long as the dye doesn’t affect your hair texture, I’d say you’re no different than any other natural.
😮I can't believe how shiny and healthy her hair still looks! In beauty school they pretty much say that relaxer is bad for the hair so it's really cool to see an example of it done properly with an outcome that good!
I loved this! I’m a natural and I agree with you about not shaming other individuals about their personal hair choices! 5 years ago, when I did the big chop, my mother and I got into it incessantly about my hair. She’s been on that creamy crack for nearly 40 years lol and change is difficult for people. She finally had to understand that my hair is my own. Personally, I would never go back to relaxing because I have a really sensitive scalp and bad allergies ( I would suffer for a week after each retouch). Never stop sharing your light, love! 😍
Thank you for speaking on this !! I'm relaxed and I've got so many slick comments from people that are natural telling me to go natural. Being relaxed is what I feel is best for me because I have naturally coarse hair and I like to wear my hair straight so relaxing my hair allows my hair to be more manageable and also allows me to apply less heat to my hair. Great Video !
I think the real test with permed hair is long-term maintenance and length retention. Having experienced perms for decades before deciding to go natural, I can't help but cringe a little bit when I see this process. Now, that was my experience and I'm not blaming any stylist. Going natural has released me of a lot of worries. My hair hasn't been this long since I was a little girl and mama did my hair. My permed hair was okay, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my natural tresses for its unique beauty. Honestly, I get so many stares. And then there are girls careening and stretching their necks looking for tracks and hidden lace fronts that it's comical. No judgement. Just sharing my experience with both camps. Great video!
I feel like more people are wearing their hair natural. I love to look at the different hairs that are out there. My daughter's hair is much thinker than mine and I see her struggle all the time so I get it when she wants to switch it up. Just do what makes you happy.
Lol I feel highly targeted, triggered, & offended by this...but I ain't gonna lie I did watch the first 5 minutes & then skipped through the rest 😂😂. Time is money!
Girl...I'm natural, and I couldn't give a boots lick about people's hair and whatever they want to do with it. You look gorgeous and your client's hair came out amazing. Whatever makes a woman feel good about herself makes me happy :-)
My view: * Learn about natural hair it is ours and we are beautiful with it and it is possible to grow it long and beautiful with specific methods just for us * if you choose to do anything to it make sure you are mature enough and you know who can professionally keep it at it's best. I don't agree with relaxing our hair simply because it's not reversible or healthy no matter how we simplify and brush it off but It does look good on us then again what doesn't and it's a personal decision. Long or short we need to change the mindset of our hair not fitting us because there is no reasoning behind it, own it and make it beautiful...we've done greater things as a people. If we don't see it as beautiful, who will? We need to accept that our hair is different so it looks, feels and grows different and if we can't accept that then we are weak as a people to want acceptance but can't grant it to ourselves... It requires more and that should be something we are proud of no matter the state (relaxed or natural)
Caucasian viewers know a lot about some weave, clip ins and wigs. To each his own but watching this broke my heart. Ive had horrible experiences over the years from doing relaxers.. Today theres a ton of other alternatives for keeping the hair straight other than a relaxer. The relaxer itself come from a very sad history knowing that and damage it will cause did it for me. I sincerely hope she doesnt regret it down the line.
I’m a natural hair girl with sisterlocks, but I don’t consider myself a strict natural hair fanatic. I’d say I’m an easygoing natural hair girl who happens to agree with you. Not all hair is the same. Hell, I’m planning on dyeing my locks sometime within the next week or so! Kudos to your client for relaxing her hair! She looks amazing!
I'm natural but I've big chopped three times so relaxing correctly doesn't bother me . One thing I've learned is if I use only water to rinse may hair almost daily the flakes went away and shampoo every 2-3 three weeks with a dandruff shampoo my hair and scalp stays flake free.
Lmao... I'm a big ass head natural. Cut my relaxed waist length hair because I wanted a Japanese hair straightener. Once a saw my curls I didn't know I had, I fell in love with my hair. BUT, that could change next year. The best thing about being a women is the variety of what we can do with our bodies 😊
Her hair looks amazing! I totally agree with you I’m natural and I had a relaxer before and I didn’t go natural because it’s “the wave” or because it’s my culture. I honestly went natural by accident I got super lazy and stopped going to the salon lol. So people ask me omg did you do this or that or when they say it’s hard being natural 🧐 i just say there’s no right or wrong way to wear your hair. Natural or relaxed be true to you and don’t try to fit in.
I just commented something similar!!! But I think you said It best. Yes, I just stopped perming. No big "to do" or anything. No "big chop", I just stopped.
I'm so happy I watched your video. I moved to Indianapolis Indiana in 2011. Prior to moving here I was with my stylist for 20 years. Always wore my hair short colored and relaxed but always under the guidance of a professional. I've been through 5 stylist here in Indianapolis and all have ruined my hair. Since 2011 I've been back and forth to my stylist in Cincinnati Ohio to have her restore my hair after these stylist in Indianapolis ruined my hair. Last night I almost shaved my head but my stylist in Cincinnati stopped me. I may still do it! But I know first hand you can have healthy relaxed hair. Had it for 20 years. I love my natural sistas its just not me.
That is a very valid reason for a lot of women. Im pretty sure this was a awesome decision for you to make and as your professional hairstylist I would have suggested you do the same. Good luck on your healthy hair journey
The intro was cute- wasn’t expecting that. Her hair turned out great! I’ve never ever had a relaxer but I can see why women get them. I have to put serious effort into straightening my hair- that’s not for everyone. Some people want easy to maintain hair and I can respect that. Her looks healthy and she looks happy with the results- that’s all that matters.
Hi! First time viewer (natural hair) and I loved how you kept it real! Your client's hair was beautiful before and after relaxer. I never understood why folks concern themselves with what others do to their hair. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to more videos!!
Amen Sister.my natural hair was so tangled and unmanageable.I was getting a relaxer for years.Bone straight.It was taking out my hair.I wore wigs for 3 years and my hair grew back.It was about 17 inches long.So i started doing texlax at home instead of going to tbe salon.My hair is thick and healthy and growing.Found out i was using to many protien treatments which broke off my hair.I did not realize i needed to put mousture back in my hair.So now i have backed off from using it.
Such an informative and realistic video about hair care. I just completed virgin relaxer on my niece, no problem. People have the right to choose...period
I think black women and even men get all bend outta shape about natural hair because blacks and our characteristics have been looked down upon as not being beautiful for so long people get bitter because they feel as if you don’t love yourself as you are with alterations. But hair is so flexible and versatility is our friend. You are allowed to change a hairstyle based on your mood job or whatever. It’s hair! It gets cut. It grows back! It’s not that serious to be fussing over someone else’s hair.
As a white female I don't know nothing about weave or anything lol I just wanted to say you are beautiful and I don't wash my hair daily only once or twice a week and I don't but my sister does have super dry scalp so don't think Caucasian women or men don't know that struggle😊 and if they say it don't happen they are liars
This was such an informative video. To each their own the client knew what she wanted and got it done. She seems happy and that should be what matters!
Winner and still champ.💯💯💯👑👑👑You told the truth. Wear your hair they way you feel best. I just returned to the creamy crack crew and I'm so so glad to be back.😍😍😍😍
Omg girl yes I’ve been thinking about relaxing my hair for a year now but I felt ashamed cuz I have a hard time loving my kinky coily natural hair I’m still going to explore in different hair styles but thank God I watched your video cuz I don’t feel as bad changing my own hair that nobody else takes care of except Me anyway...... “ I THOUGHT NATURAL HAIR COMMUNITY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPORTING”
Lol I’ve been natural since like 2013 and never even realized it. I just didn’t have any chemicals on my hair, I used heat but no chemicals. It wasn’t till this year I started caring about what I was putting on my hair, products etc. I couldn’t imagine caring about what someone else chooses to do with their hair, never even crossed my mind.
I have had a relaxed hair for a very long time. My hair is half way down my back. I take vitamins and comb it twice a day. I have color in it and it is fine. A good video.
You just gained a new follower 🙌🏿🙌🏿 I love a real person in general especially when it comes to hair cause we know in the black Community ( Women) “The naturals” can be very judgmental about what you did with your hair like they helping you buy them products. P.s. I have been natural for almost 3 years
ive been natural from birth nothing never touched my hair but that doesn't give me the right to bash others hair and tell them what to do damn the natural hair community I love relaxed perm natural dry curls Gerry curls its your damn hair don't be discourage
