I will never be okay with this narrative that black people need all these products to make our hair ‘grow’. Like no, that’s what hair does. It grows!! (Unless someone has a medical issue) It makes me so upset that people lie and push this toxic narrative that we need all these products. My routine is literally the simplest it’s ever been (shampoo, condition and style with one product) and it’s literally the healthiest it’s ever been!! Ughhh I hate that we’ve been lied to for so long! And you’re right! It’s not just hair!! Thanks for speaking about this, Mayowa!
This! I use 3-5 products and stay out of my hair. I let it be and it grows. My daughter has waist length hair with little effort and cheap, regular products.
They could’ve used Chloe or Halle for that Harper Bazzar video if they wanted women in the industry with natural Locs, but then again I think they like “us” embarrassing ourselves
Honestly, I don't even think they'd even WANT to be involved with the fakeness Bazarr is pushing. They know THEIR locs are real/natural and that some "shampoo" didn't miraculously grow their hair down their backs in the matter of months either, like Eva is claiming. So I'm actually GLAD they aren't promoting anything for them. Money is NOT everything, but maintaining the integrity of your character IS.
They pick black women based on "marketability", meaning looking more European. Eva has light colored eyes. That's weakness to colorist and white people. The Bailey girls are light skin, but still too ethnic for black women, because only black women can be too black...
Anyone with locs knows that it shrinks shorter after the initial install. Who's inch long locs shrink down and grow to Bob length in six months? Girl bye. That's how you know she doesn't know a damn thing
I started with 4 inches of hair 3 years later I've just reached collarbone I was like why u lying sis. Granted it grew fast but not 8 inches in 6 months
Conditionner will either clog up or unlock your locs, every locked person knows that. She just wants to look high maintenance with a low maintenance style, I hate it
IF that! Lol! I've had my locs almost 10 years and my hubby just started his this summer. It's a wash and then a daily spritz with homemade rosewater spray. That's it. I don't own no other products except an oil. Idk what these folks be talking about.
it’s funny that she’s promoting nappstar’s products but didn’t promote them to say that’s the company that did her locs, cause there’s a whole video on their page of them attaching the extensions 😂😂😂 i would be so furiated as the stylist to watch that video hearing her say that’s her hair knowing i’m the one that did the extensions for her smfh
Those of us who grew our locs from short length knows in six months your hair will not get that length. I saw that video months ago and was surprised at her hair because she is known for short hair, she and her handlers are making a mockery of those of us who took the time, patience and frustrations to grow our locs. If she gets cancelled no strikes on your part, continue your great videos you have your audience..... Blessed
yes exactly smh thats why it made me so mad because I know it actually takes patience and she's lying about it so if you don't know about locs you think its actually possible
Facts facts facts facts. I started with shorter than 2-in mini twists to start my loc and they probably were only that long after 3 years and my hair never grew as fast as it did in locs. Anybody with locs knows 6 months in and you're still in the "ugly" phase (which shouldn't call it that cuz that's hate conditioning in itself) but they arnt to your shoulders. Does she just think we stupid?
To totally be that guy, I been peeped that her daughter with kinkier, type 4 hair has been loc’d since she was a baby, but her siblings (both boys at that) with type 3 hair is loose… nothing wrong with a little girl having locs of course (don’t drag me 😭), but Eva gives me vibes.. especially with her colorist and texturist past on RHOA.
I feel bad for her daughter. I’m sure she can see her mom’s attitude towards her hair, living with Eva. We only get pieces and it’s too much. Hopefully baby girl doesn’t have serious issues with her image.
@@Gaia007 Y'll REACHING asf.. Eva has ALWAYS LOVED LOCS..SHE DECIDED TO LOCS MARLEY RAE HAIR AS A LIL GIRL... WTF IS WRONG WITH THAT? THAT DOESN'T MEAN SHE HATES HER BABY'S HAIR.. Y'ALL ARE WEIRD ASF. She is not colorist 🙄🙄🙄. DARK SKIN PEOPLE ALWAYS RUSHING TO CALL PEOPLE COLORIST 🥴🥴🥴🥴.
I don't know if she is colorist, but she is an opportunist. I imagine that she was like: "If these white ppl want to pretend that my locs are real for some coins, I will too." She was laughing all the way to the bank. I also imagine that she was promoting a friend's products. All of these celebrities are hustlers. They don't want to work 9-5 or do anything useful.
Hair growth rate if you don't have underlying health issues like Alopecia, is between 0.5 to 0.7 inches per month. That's 6 inches in a year at best, If you can retain that length. As someone who formulates 🌱hair products, this 6 months progress from a shampoo, is false abegi!!!!🤣😂🤣😂 This needs to stop tbh...it's the reason folks come to me with unrealistic expectations for hair products. Great video sistar ✊🏽💕👌🏽❤️
For the average I agree, especially my 4a/b fine hair, its full of pretty coils but just won't effin grow for the life of me. I might mite get 4 in. a year and my ends break just as fast. But my daughter is 4C with the thickest healthiest hair strands (grows a darker brown/ black in color than mine too, which I presume proves her melanin in her hair is richer ), she has never had a relaxer either ever (she's 26 now) but she has colored it and then let it grow out without recoloring and I can tell you from the line of demarcation. her hair grew well over 6 in. more like 7-8 in in 10 months! Her hair just grows like you paying it to. She also isn't in to styling it much either she just leaves it alone, mostly in a bun. Some ppl's hair just grow faster than others. But Eva, she lying her a** off and she never seemed an honest person to me.
@@nnaturalheaven3754 Of course that's the average growth rate. When it comes to growth, alot of factors are at play (diet, DHT & Cortisol hormones, genetics and hairstyling habits)...that's why no two persons will have the same growth rate. Your daughter's hair might be doing so well because her scalp's intergrity is still intact from not using relaxers at all or she doesn't have those hormones in excess or genes(a part of yours and her father), and she's able to retain more length by doing low manipulative styles. However, this lady attributing what looks like 12 inches growth in 6 months from just a shampoo is ridiculous! Products with quality 🌱 ingredients helps, but we need to be realistic and not discount the other factors.
'Nappy' hair should be celebrated. Shame on Eva for her disparaging comments, and thank you for exposing her lies and disservice to our community. I looked at the comments on her video, and black women are NOT as dim as Eva and Harper's Bazaar perceive. Many in the comments called her out thankfully. I think your hair is beautiful and very healthy by the way. My favorite item of the outfit was the necklace.
@@mayowasworld Yes, so Fifth Element! You're so cute and you know it. You told your neice to get the outfit real quick. I was cracking up. 🤣 That is a cool outfit.😎
@@mayowasworld I don't think that Eva was trying to give real hair tips, just make some money because she knew that her locs weren't real. I think Eva is a part of the black community and hilarious. If someone asked you to do a tutorial for a lot of money on something you didn't know about, as an actor or performer, you might do it as well. She is a model. She sells an image and fantasy. Ppl sell products that they don't use all of the time. It is called commercial advertisement. I also think that Eva took the time to promote a friend's products. The only people who believe her hair routine are white ppl and some white ppls dreads deserve to fall out because they look ugly. 🤣
your niece is coming for these videographers and photographers necks. they could never! this baby is an intern!!! just pure excellence. i don't know why people lie about their hair journey. it's unnecessary. and I'm so glad your page is expanding. love it!
I've been natural for 2 years and I have avoided all NATURAL UA-camRS because they lie and are ridiculous!! There is no way I'm spending hours on wash'n'go. They are all product pushers. I have 3C/4A/4B hair, I had to learn what worked for my hair. Love you and your content!!!!
@@wtttff Yes ma'am same here. It upsetting that we still really do not understand or truly try to help each other. That's why I love her, she's just real.
I’ve been natural for over 10 years and miss the honesty and authenticity of UA-camrs back then. It was before sponsors, all these natural hair companies and such paid UA-camrs to review their products.
Not all natural youtubers lie, lol, but I hear you though because some of them do too much for a product, lol I subscribe to mostly "4c" youtubers even though it's not my hair texture. I also sub to some others because they do diy and I like their personality. Plus they tell the truth. I don't do their routines because I have locs. I just like watching them.
Girl I am South African and I have 4c hair. It's been more than 8 months and my hair hasn't begun locking. Eva needs to sit down cos none of that is true.
Firstly, you are sooo beautiful and I love your non traditional makeup. You’re hair is flourishing. The way you articulate your thoughts is great and authentic.
I agree with you. I would say, I personally don't really like the term nappy for kinky hair because my mother's culture is Jamaican. She raised me and in that culture, a nappy is a diaper. Which is literally where the reference towards kinky hair stems-seeing kinky hair as looking like poop in a diaper. So I will always see it as derogatory because of the longstanding cultural connotations of using that word in regards to kinky hair. Eva has been problematic for years and she got away with a lot because black folk love putting a light bright with light eyes on a pedestal. Times are slowly changing but not fast enough in my opinion. We still have elite groups of 'black' people in the united states who are generational mixes holding most of the wealth and prestige in the black community that they inherited from their slave master fathers and mothers. That isn't discussed a lot because they are protected by their money and standing.
yup you spoke truth when you said that a lot of the 'black' people who have generational wealth comes directly from their slave masters father and mothers. ive noticed this being true in black countries as well. thanks for sharing all this
That lie was outright disgusting. I get 4 inches of hair in about 9months to a year, if things are good I’ll get 6inches. I can’t stand lying to sell a product
Yes, as someone who deals with every hair type & texture, I can say 1/4 - 1/2 inch per month (pulled straight/ stretched) is normal for a healthy person. If someone claims a product made their hair grow more than that, it's probably a lie
Sis every comment was on point, her locs are boho chic and synthetic, a person in the loc community can see this clearly. It is a big disrespect to all of us who go through the authentic journey. Give Thanks for highlighting it, safe journey to Naij🎊🙏🏿
But Eva's daughter hair is not like hers, so she she needs to be careful what she is saying about black women. 🤔 Kamar is like......hmm I'm ready to pay her a visit
I literally feel like I have been teased for my hair so bad. One of my close friends told me my hair was too thick to do and it was making her hands hurt. She was putting my hair into braids. Then, my neighbor, called me nappy headed when she has kinkier hair than me. Smh. The texurism in our community suckkssss!
Absolutely NOT okay. They want our hair texture so bad. They obsess with us hi 🔑 Smh I’m just glad this is here to clear the air. Just so interesting. GreatVideo
I always tell people, your hair will grow whether you want it to or not because you are alive. Once you are alive, your hair is always growing, the issue comes with length retention.
Desirability really has us in a chokehold….. per usual I love your content!!! So thorough, so poignant & you are spot on! I hope all is well with you love.❤️❤️
Unfortunately…she lies often. I had the chance to work with her several times. She’s also a covert colorist😖 So glad I don’t have to deal with that low vibe crap.
Just found your channel and i love this ! I tell my clients all the time that less is more. It’s annoying when videos like hers are made 🙄 like girl you not fooling us.
Yay! Another video from my favorite UA-camr. And I laughed out loud at "Where is the conflict? It's looking like slip n slide." Your jokes are superior love.
I watched her harper's video and i ROLLLLLEEEDDD my eyes. I have my locs and the reality of locs and how they grow and shrink and matte u cannot grow ur hair from 2 inches to bob length in 6 months. It actually enraged me that she sat there with her loc extensions and gave people such an off impression. It was genuinely sinister.
I enjoy your content too much… you inspire me to go full force with my podcast and speak about the things I love too, without fear. Thank you for your videos ! You always put into words what I’m thinking. Have a safe flight back to Nigeria ! (Also side note: Eva has always been a damn liar, even a liar on RHOA. Would just LIE for no reason.)
Unrelated but I love how free you are in the pick up and go to live in new countries,finding new opportunities and experiences for yourself. I'm gonna join your Patreon.
Thanks for saying that about locs... I dead ass litterally almost use nothing unless I have a "special occasion." No the less you do the healthier they get...
You're so on point. I have been locked for almost 25 years. I have NEVER used that many products. I am semi- free form as I started manicured but for the last 10 years haven't retwisted. I wash with black soap or Dr. Bonners and put some type of oil in it and...that's it. Not doing all that stuff. Locs are not for that, like if you're locked just cause it's I style now.
yes exactly! when I used to shampoo my hair I would use dr bronners- most people with locs know that adding too many products creates bad build up in the locs
@@mayowasworld not only that, it makes your locs smell....which is why they think they have to wash their locs so frequent....if you're using lots of products of course you have to wash often....cause you got ish in your locs. Less is more when it comes to locs, I know from personal experience. You can't do the same thing to your locs like when you had a perm, extensions, loose natural etc....just know that there's very few products out there made specifically for locs. Dr. Bronners is not shampoo, it's not even real castille soap. It's natural liquid soap, I know because I make my own soap at home and I use some of the same ingredients. Some people swear by it for their locs while others have issues.
It's so overwhelming when I see anyone telling me I need 5+ products on my hair. As an elder millennial I literally use 1 product for my hair and body. Judge me all you want. Lol.
I too, am an elder millennial and...I cry thinking of all of the money I spent on products at the height of hair UA-cam. I literally only use rosewater and a dandruff shampoo now.
HEEEEY! I am starting my loc journey to you thanks to you. I cant get free form because of work but I have been through so much in my family for not looking bi racial. I been natural since 2019, I had my mom secretly perm my hair and it fall out, I had a stylist cop off my hair rather than comb out product i didnt ask for. I wish I be like you! I be preaching the same things as you. I want my kids to love thier blackness just like you 💕💗🙏🏿
Because she's being PAID to endorse that product line Ma'am, that's why. While there definitely are natural ingredients that help hair growth, Eva and Kenya both push hair products when they clearly are results of genetics.
Mayowa your subscriber base is growing and will continue to grow because we as Black people are thirsty for the truth. Especially the colorism issue. It's real. Love it whn it's discussed. For the sake of our beautiful young ladies that hve been made to feel unattractive via the media. Keep doing what your doing an we will be here.
as soon she explained that the growth was from shampoo I screammeerddd and we can tell those are starter locs they love bashing locs but get faux locs/ starter locs 2 I hate how they hate on type 4 hair it’s frustrating
Six months!? Oh, girl. My sister started with a big chop and has had locks for 7ish yrs. It's a little past her shoulders. Btw, you look so good! 😍 And I especially love those jeans.
Thank you! My hair grew super fast in locs. Took almost 5 years to get to shoulder length. Atleast 3.5yrs to get the length the lady claims her natural hair was in the video. 😒
I love that you reclaim the word nappy. Imma do it too. TY! Eff acting like there is something so wrong with my hair that I can't even describe it in a word or get all awkward trying to describe this brand of "curly." No, FTS. It's nappy. It's kinky. I'm free.
I don't like it, coily, kinky sounds like a better description to me. Using nappy to me is like how black people tried to reclaim the word nigga, i don't think that's the right trajectory to take
@@carmenalexis4787 I'm in africa, we don't even use that word here, we call our hair kinky, i adopted 'coily' just as a description of my curl pattern. Nappy is a weird word, it doesn't even have a proper definition, i think if it cam sound derogatory depending on who says it then there's definitely something wrong with the word, just like the word nigga, weird words black people are trying to claim but should really just stray away from
Like... Honestly... Define nappy🤷🏽♀️ clearly... Because I couldn't find a description of what nappy is, it sounds like something prickly and tangled 😅ah it's a no from me, but unfortunately you're entitled to call your hair nappy if you want 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
whew. thanks for talking about this!!!!! the amount of lies Eva got caught in on RHOA this ain’t surprising at all. but its very unfortunate. and i love that you pointed out her using the word “nappy” in a derogatory way!!!! ugghh
She’s definitely pushing that product because what magic oil can make your hair grow that fast?! I wish. I love when you highlighted that “it’s not just hair” because hair impacts many facets of everyday living. Thank you for sharing!
Firstly, you look super cute as always. Love the necklace. Regarding the ripped jeans, I'm from the Caribbean, my dad is in his 80s and feels the same. He explained that when he worked in the cane fields, they would have to wear the thickest denim and the cane blades were so sharp that it would rip the denim to threads within days. They were paid less than 25c a day for their labor. When ripped jeans came into to fashion, he felt as if it was spitting in the face of persons like him who practically slaved away in the fields. Now some white man was making a fashion statement and millions off of their suffering. Eva, ugh. A while back I saw a video on IG, a page called Nappstar, company of the products she's selling and she was getting her extensions removed by the owner, a light skinned black woman. Her hair didn't even reach her shoulders when it was removed. To see a video like this knowing there's one with the take down of the fake locs is madness. It's sloppy and neither her or Nappstar cared to even hide the lie. Eva is a colorist, she problematic but she's also a biracial, green eyed woman who will get a pass because who really cares about insults thrown at dark women with actually kinky hair? The excuse would be that she's black too so it's fine. It took 5 years for my 4c hair to visually reached my shoulders. I started my journey with shoulder length hair but as it started to loc, it tighten so much that it shrinked to almost half its original length. There's no magical way to grow hair, it takes time and patience.
oh wowww thank you so much for explaining this- it actually makes sense. smh wow, yeah I can see how its white people positing off a fashion of those who actually did manual labor. omg I just saw this ig video!! lol she is so wild because there's actually so much evidence of her lying. and ur right there is no magic and thats what makes the natural hair journey special because one has to just wait. thank u for writing all that you did
Even when you have hair with "weird textures" that don't really fall into one category or other (because man, my hair be like soft curls at the back of my neck and mostly fuzzy to real kinky on the top of my head) there's nothing that you do that "makes your hair grow". It either grows or doesn't (genetics) and then, most people who think their hair doesn't grow often thinks that because they keep breaking the damn hair by pulling on it with the wrong instruments... More often then not, if you leave the hair alone you'll see it grow. I was so sick and tired of people asking me what I put in my hair to make it grow. The answer? Nothing! I do nothing to my hair to make it grow! In fact, I cut it all off not once, twice in my life. People should stop lying about hair.
I stopped pulling my hair out once I ditched combs and brushes and it grew. People are always expecting some miracle hair regime. I don’t do anything special. I just take care of it don’t damage it with combs, chemicals, and straighteners. That’s it!
Hi Mayowa! 🙋🏾♀️ Loving the white brows and the ripped jeans. I'm a Naija Babe as well, and I admire the fact that you live out loud and don't let others dictate the Trajectory of your life!! So inspiring!
Thanks for sharing.. I watched that video few days back.. And its sad to see what deception money can buy into.. If the loc is fake then the products advertised is Fake...
No lies told 🔥 also, what is with people who can't accept that maybe their hair just isn't meant to loc and that's ok? Am I the only one seeing Eva's wispy real texture hair, hella fine/thin, poking thru the locs and me thinking naaaw your hair fighting for its life for why 😭 Also my fave part of the outfit: def the denim! I love an asymmetric distressed/rip jean leg 💞
@@JesusLovesEVERYTHING right?? Like is the cheque and attention worth it? I also find it a bit odd that in interviews I've found she cites her daughter's locs as inspo. Like, at first that seems harmless and sweet like aw mom-daughter moment. But also....I don't think I've really seen a darkskin monoracial Black woman, ever really get asked what their inspiration for locs was or into the specifics of their journey. Unless it's political! So it's just kinda feels to me, extra and again highlighting the sweet moments of a lightskin person's hair journey in a way that darkskin people are just not afforded in media.
@@keisha_james well.. us black folk are a different breed. We usually change our hair around to dreads or go natural for something political, or like myself for spiritual reasons. Just straying from the European beauty standard is and should be considered a rebellion. But honestly every time I see some girl with dreads, I fall in love with them and I begin missing my dreads all over again.. too bad I like variety lol
Smh. These “celebrities” will do anything for a check now a days 🙄. Eva knew the black community (shoot, mankind for that matter) would be able to clearly identify that her locs were not natural. Yet, she still came on a popular platform, showed all 34 of her teeth, and lied to the people. I never fancied her anyways. She has displayed some disgusting behavior on camera (with no regard or shame) so I can only imagine what she says behind closed doors. As you mentioned, Harpers should have done their homework on the individuals they bring to their platform. But then again, these popular platforms could care less…. especially when it comes to black people. They just want the black dollar and the black culture.
Kenya's hair is loose because its heat dammaged. She straightens it super often. I remember when her hair was short. She is more a 4a hair texture. But nappy it is not in any way. Not even gonna speak on Eva. Never liked her since i first saw her face on ANTM. She is so stuck up. Dislike her personality tremendously.
I recently discovered your channel and I love Nigerians! ♥️I have the hair texture of Eva. I began my lock journey in 1992. It was about two years before I could see the hair napping… She is lying and this why I don’t support these fools. Continue your good work and tell your family that I hope to visit Nigeria soon! ♥️♥️♥️ I hate to see how so many women wear fake locks so that they can perpetuate the lies. I wear locks as a phuck-you to European centered notions of beauty and acceptance.
I really like how the necklace coordinates with the blue denim, so that's probably my favorite part of the outfit. I'm really feeling the white eyebrows on you though, it's so freaking cute 🤍
First off, thank you for holding her accountable about them stiff ass Locs. I laughed/ran to the comments looking for my Loc’d fam to stop the cap. 2nd, your crown is going tf off sis, beautiful. 3rd, it’s the jeans fa me. 4th, you need a white tee that just says nappy.
my favorite part of your outfit tbh is the white lace top paired with the denim jean and the white eyebrows!!! it's truly giving everything it needs to give!! thank you for speaking on this much love and appreciation 💜💜💜
I been on my loc journey for 1 year w 3b, 3 c hair that started mid back length. 12 months in and it has SHRUNK to my shoulders! There is no way honey!
Mayowaaa!!! OMG, I remember seeing you around in Berlin and you doing stand up at the House of Living Colors party I was Dj'ing at. I'm so happy I found your channel. Your Locs are gorgeous 😩🤧🤌🏿. This is prime content. I can't with Eva Marcille LMAO and as a RHOA fan I was so mad at Eva when she made those remarks and was happy when Kenya and Porsha could finally come together on something, and that was calling Eva on her Bullshit . So excited to follow your journey into Nigeria! 💞 Nai in Berlin
It was her getting the extensions removed by NappStar not even a month later that really cracked me up cause I’m like sis what was the reason?? You ain’t need to lie lmao
My favorite part of your outfit is all of it. You are very creative and beautiful. Please keep going you are really giving insight and truth. Those two combinations always win in the end. ❤
I love how confident you are in yourself. My daughter is your complexion and she was feeling down about being dark, bc of friends from school, but I kept affirming her and letting her know how beautiful and great she was. She has locs as well, and she is loving every moment of it. I just love your commentary on Eva call her out girl people need to know. Liars need to be put on the spot. Thank you for that btw I subscribed to your channel. Be blessed and keep it up. #queen #beauty
I come to these videos to hear your thoughts and on top of it in every single video???? Every single era???? You slay????? Serving. Giving. Step on me. Eyebrows are my favorite part of the serve 💅
i think loose curl textures can lock their hair, but not in locs as thin as that. i'd imagine you'd need more hair strands per loc for any budding and locing to occur. correct me if im wrong
Honestly, I’ve seen it done. I knew a guy with straight/wavy hair (he was Indian and had locs for religious reasons) and his locs were thin (about 3/4 of a pinky finger at most) and very long down to his knees. He said that they have there own ancient cultural way of doing it that involved weekly washing, olive oil, scalp massage and “working the hair daily” until it’s locked. He said it was a lot of work but it was for his religion so it was worth it. I wish I could remember what his specific beliefs were, it wasn’t Buddhist or Sikh, I only remember that he said it was a religion practiced in Northern India… if I remember I’ll come back and edit the comment lol
my fav outfit is your necklace damn !!! it looked like a blue eye was looking at me cause it moved with the light !! loved that. and yes you are soo right as usual. the way ppl are running after the money and against the people they say they are fore is ridiculous. thank your for your great content
Perhaps the shampoo is infused with a crochet needle, thread, yarn, and shells.
Stop it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shes biracial so idk but I also don't know any actual biracial people with locs so I'm not sure how fast they grow
My bf has locs and he said the same thing. I said “Eva has locs now” he saw them and said “those are fake as hell”
No person with locs would be doing a whole ass multi step wash routine. You literally shampoo and go like twice a month…
Conditionner will either clog up or unlock your locs, every locked person knows that. She just wants to look high maintenance with a low maintenance style, I hate it

lol she was ready!!
“If you want to make your money and lie, just tell me” - couldn’t agree more
it’s funny that she’s promoting nappstar’s products but didn’t promote them to say that’s the company that did her locs, cause there’s a whole video on their page of them attaching the extensions 😂😂😂 i would be so furiated as the stylist to watch that video hearing her say that’s her hair knowing i’m the one that did the extensions for her smfh
Oh wow!!! 😳😳😳
I am hollin😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Woooowww ! That’s so fraudulent. I try not to judge people but this definitely makes me look at her on a different light
Brooo 😂😂
Man I’m a loctician and I literally just saw the video the owner took them out !
“If my hair can prevent me from getting a job, then how can you say it’s just hair”!!!!!!!! Yessssssss!!!!!!!!
Those of us who grew our locs from short length knows in six months your hair will not get that length. I saw that video months ago and was surprised at her hair because she is known for short hair, she and her handlers are making a mockery of those of us who took the time, patience and frustrations to grow our locs. If she gets cancelled no strikes on your part, continue your great videos you have your audience..... Blessed
yes exactly smh thats why it made me so mad because I know it actually takes patience and she's lying about it so if you don't know about locs you think its actually possible
@@mayowasworld u know i always support u no matter how controversial the topic... Keep the pressure up .... Blessed 🙏
Facts facts facts facts. I started with shorter than 2-in mini twists to start my loc and they probably were only that long after 3 years and my hair never grew as fast as it did in locs. Anybody with locs knows 6 months in and you're still in the "ugly" phase (which shouldn't call it that cuz that's hate conditioning in itself) but they arnt to your shoulders. Does she just think we stupid?
@@blackgirlburntout well said, who feels it knows it...
So I don't have locs but I grew Bob length hair from being bald in 8 months it may not be that impossible
To totally be that guy, I been peeped that her daughter with kinkier, type 4 hair has been loc’d since she was a baby, but her siblings (both boys at that) with type 3 hair is loose… nothing wrong with a little girl having locs of course (don’t drag me 😭), but Eva gives me vibes.. especially with her colorist and texturist past on RHOA.
Nothing to drag, your observation is spot on.
I feel bad for her daughter. I’m sure she can see her mom’s attitude towards her hair, living with Eva. We only get pieces and it’s too much. Hopefully baby girl doesn’t have serious issues with her image.
@@Gaia007 Y'll REACHING asf.. Eva has ALWAYS LOVED LOCS..SHE DECIDED TO LOCS MARLEY RAE HAIR AS A LIL GIRL... WTF IS WRONG WITH THAT? THAT DOESN'T MEAN SHE HATES HER BABY'S HAIR.. Y'ALL ARE WEIRD ASF.
She is not colorist 🙄🙄🙄.
DARK SKIN PEOPLE ALWAYS RUSHING TO CALL PEOPLE COLORIST 🥴🥴🥴🥴.
@@INDIGO.GODDESS_573 she is colorist. Do your research.
I don't know if she is colorist, but she is an opportunist. I imagine that she was like: "If these white ppl want to pretend that my locs are real for some coins, I will too." She was laughing all the way to the bank. I also imagine that she was promoting a friend's products. All of these celebrities are hustlers. They don't want to work 9-5 or do anything useful.
Hair growth rate if you don't have underlying health issues like Alopecia, is between 0.5 to 0.7 inches per month. That's 6 inches in a year at best, If you can retain that length. As someone who formulates 🌱hair products, this 6 months progress from a shampoo, is false abegi!!!!🤣😂🤣😂 This needs to stop tbh...it's the reason folks come to me with unrealistic expectations for hair products. Great video sistar ✊🏽💕👌🏽❤️
Right! There’s actual math to prove her claims are false. Lol not to mention the shrink stage that happens when your locks start maturing…
Can you share more tips
You make hair products?
For the average I agree, especially my 4a/b fine hair, its full of pretty coils but just won't effin grow for the life of me. I might mite get 4 in. a year and my ends break just as fast. But my daughter is 4C with the thickest healthiest hair strands (grows a darker brown/ black in color than mine too, which I presume proves her melanin in her hair is richer ), she has never had a relaxer either ever (she's 26 now) but she has colored it and then let it grow out without recoloring and I can tell you from the line of demarcation. her hair grew well over 6 in. more like 7-8 in in 10 months! Her hair just grows like you paying it to. She also isn't in to styling it much either she just leaves it alone, mostly in a bun. Some ppl's hair just grow faster than others. But Eva, she lying her a** off and she never seemed an honest person to me.
@@nnaturalheaven3754 Of course that's the average growth rate. When it comes to growth, alot of factors are at play (diet, DHT & Cortisol hormones, genetics and hairstyling habits)...that's why no two persons will have the same growth rate. Your daughter's hair might be doing so well because her scalp's intergrity is still intact from not using relaxers at all or she doesn't have those hormones in excess or genes(a part of yours and her father), and she's able to retain more length by doing low manipulative styles. However, this lady attributing what looks like 12 inches growth in 6 months from just a shampoo is ridiculous! Products with quality 🌱 ingredients helps, but we need to be realistic and not discount the other factors.
'Nappy' hair should be celebrated. Shame on Eva for her disparaging comments, and thank you for exposing her lies and disservice to our community. I looked at the comments on her video, and black women are NOT as dim as Eva and Harper's Bazaar perceive. Many in the comments called her out thankfully. I think your hair is beautiful and very healthy by the way. My favorite item of the outfit was the necklace.
Preach, sister girl.
Americans why do you guys called black hair nappy hair?
@@tweetyslife253 Personally, I don't like the word, but to each their own. If a black person wants to use it, that's their choice.
@@tweetyslife253that’s why she said “nappy”
@Jubei Kibagami Fez I legitimately hate the word. When I went natural, my 80 y.o. mother told everybody I decided to go "nappy."
Is the eyebrows for me!!! I’m catching all kinds of fifth element otherworldly vibes from where I’m sitting. 🥰🥰🥰💯💄💋👠
thank u love!
@@mayowasworld Yes, so Fifth Element! You're so cute and you know it. You told your neice to get the outfit real quick. I was cracking up. 🤣 That is a cool outfit.😎
I saw the video that Eva made and immediately exited when she said she grow her hair in 6 months. I was like this is nothing but fuckery and foolery.
lol what's wild is that harpers didn't find this suspicious
@@mayowasworld exactly. Lol
I did the exact same thing
@@mayowasworld I don't think that Eva was trying to give real hair tips, just make some money because she knew that her locs weren't real. I think Eva is a part of the black community and hilarious. If someone asked you to do a tutorial for a lot of money on something you didn't know about, as an actor or performer, you might do it as well. She is a model. She sells an image and fantasy. Ppl sell products that they don't use all of the time. It is called commercial advertisement. I also think that Eva took the time to promote a friend's products. The only people who believe her hair routine are white ppl and some white ppls dreads deserve to fall out because they look ugly. 🤣
Lmao
your niece is coming for these videographers and photographers necks. they could never! this baby is an intern!!! just pure excellence. i don't know why people lie about their hair journey. it's unnecessary. and I'm so glad your page is expanding. love it!
lmaooo she wasnt playin either! yesss and the lying Is SO unnecessary smh. thank u for the love!
She was so cute ☺️
I've been natural for 2 years and I have avoided all NATURAL UA-camRS because they lie and are ridiculous!! There is no way I'm spending hours on wash'n'go. They are all product pushers. I have 3C/4A/4B hair, I had to learn what worked for my hair. Love you and your content!!!!
@@wtttff Yes ma'am same here. It upsetting that we still really do not understand or truly try to help each other. That's why I love her, she's just real.
I’ve been natural for over 10 years and miss the honesty and authenticity of UA-camrs back then. It was before sponsors, all these natural hair companies and such paid UA-camrs to review their products.
Not all natural youtubers lie, lol, but I hear you though because some of them do too much for a product, lol
I subscribe to mostly "4c" youtubers even though it's not my hair texture. I also sub to some others because they do diy and I like their personality. Plus they tell the truth. I don't do their routines because I have locs. I just like watching them.
Sis I have a fro as well as my 3 kids I promise you these you tube ppl lie bad
I hear you. Although i don't lie on my channel i get where you're coming from because a lot of them do!
I love the necklace, looks like something a mermaid would wear
Girl I am South African and I have 4c hair. It's been more than 8 months and my hair hasn't begun locking. Eva needs to sit down cos none of that is true.
I've yet to see Eva Marcille and Terrence Howard in the same room...I'm not sayin;, I'm just sayin'.
I just fell out laughing 😆
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😭
Comment of the year 😂😂😂😂
The look is just GIVING ! Plus, your nieces' reflexion in the mirror was just PRECIOUS !
Firstly, you are sooo beautiful and I love your non traditional makeup. You’re hair is flourishing. The way you articulate your thoughts is great and authentic.
I agree with you. I would say, I personally don't really like the term nappy for kinky hair because my mother's culture is Jamaican. She raised me and in that culture, a nappy is a diaper. Which is literally where the reference towards kinky hair stems-seeing kinky hair as looking like poop in a diaper. So I will always see it as derogatory because of the longstanding cultural connotations of using that word in regards to kinky hair. Eva has been problematic for years and she got away with a lot because black folk love putting a light bright with light eyes on a pedestal. Times are slowly changing but not fast enough in my opinion. We still have elite groups of 'black' people in the united states who are generational mixes holding most of the wealth and prestige in the black community that they inherited from their slave master fathers and mothers. That isn't discussed a lot because they are protected by their money and standing.
yup you spoke truth when you said that a lot of the 'black' people who have generational wealth comes directly from their slave masters father and mothers. ive noticed this being true in black countries as well. thanks for sharing all this
I just left a comment on another comment posted here saying the same thing about nappys. The more you know…
In the US, nappy comes from naps of cotton. Our hair resembled the fluffs of cotton we were picking in slavery.
🙌🏾Say more🙌🏾
I legit have not thought of this woman since she was on ANTM
Same.
That lie was outright disgusting. I get 4 inches of hair in about 9months to a year, if things are good I’ll get 6inches. I can’t stand lying to sell a product
Basically, that’s for all normal human beings
Yes, as someone who deals with every hair type & texture, I can say 1/4 - 1/2 inch per month (pulled straight/ stretched) is normal for a healthy person. If someone claims a product made their hair grow more than that, it's probably a lie
That’s also you…I went from shoulder length to bra strap when I took my hair growth seriously…that was just my results and what I was able to do..
Sis every comment was on point, her locs are boho chic and synthetic, a person in the loc community can see this clearly. It is a big disrespect to all of us who go through the authentic journey. Give Thanks for highlighting it, safe journey to Naij🎊🙏🏿
Mayowa -- I love how when you get serious or more passionate about something you switch to your Nigerian accent ! I'm here for it 👌🏾🤣❤️💚🌻
But Eva's daughter hair is not like hers, so she she needs to be careful what she is saying about black women. 🤔 Kamar is like......hmm I'm ready to pay her a visit
It’s SO cute how your niece was in the shot how cute! 😍🥰
I literally feel like I have been teased for my hair so bad. One of my close friends told me my hair was too thick to do and it was making her hands hurt. She was putting my hair into braids. Then, my neighbor, called me nappy headed when she has kinkier hair than me. Smh. The texurism in our community suckkssss!
Everything you’re saying is on point. You’re not alone.
Absolutely NOT okay. They want our hair texture so bad. They obsess with us hi 🔑 Smh I’m just glad this is here to clear the air. Just so interesting. GreatVideo
I always tell people, your hair will grow whether you want it to or not because you are alive. Once you are alive, your hair is always growing, the issue comes with length retention.
I couldn't pass over the light blue necklace on your skin tone 💙
I have learned the best way to grow your hair is to leave your hair alone
Desirability really has us in a chokehold….. per usual I love your content!!! So thorough, so poignant & you are spot on!
I hope all is well with you love.❤️❤️
yuppp thats the perfect explanation
You said a word
"Desirability really has us in a chokehold"
~ bless you, let's keep bettering ourselves! Peace! 🤜
Unfortunately…she lies often. I had the chance to work with her several times. She’s also a covert colorist😖
So glad I don’t have to deal with that low vibe crap.
I believe that because a lot of LA born blacks are colorists. Especially the men
she was lying all the time on real housewives, as if what she said wasn't filmed. Very weird. she needs psychiatric help
She read that from freaking America's next top model smh

It actually enraged me that she sat there with her loc extensions and gave people such an off impression. It was genuinely sinister.

Thanks for saying that about locs... I dead ass litterally almost use nothing unless I have a "special occasion." No the less you do the healthier they get...
Locs
@@teahgurl thanks online spell check
You're so on point. I have been locked for almost 25 years. I have NEVER used that many products. I am semi- free form as I started manicured but for the last 10 years haven't retwisted. I wash with black soap or Dr. Bonners and put some type of oil in it and...that's it. Not doing all that stuff. Locs are not for that, like if you're locked just cause it's I style now.
yes exactly! when I used to shampoo my hair I would use dr bronners- most people with locs know that adding too many products creates bad build up in the locs
@@mayowasworld not only that, it makes your locs smell....which is why they think they have to wash their locs so frequent....if you're using lots of products of course you have to wash often....cause you got ish in your locs.
Less is more when it comes to locs, I know from personal experience. You can't do the same thing to your locs like when you had a perm, extensions, loose natural etc....just know that there's very few products out there made specifically for locs.
Dr. Bronners is not shampoo, it's not even real castille soap. It's natural liquid soap, I know because I make my own soap at home and I use some of the same ingredients. Some people swear by it for their locs while others have issues.
I had to go check Eva's video then come back just to make sure there was no misunderstanding. "What was the reason?!?!" 😂🤣😅
When ever someone calls me NAPPY HEADED, I always say ''YOU NEED TO TALK TO GOD ABOUT THAT".

Damn I wish I coulda said this to some of my aunties lol
@@ladiepink DEADASS.
It's so overwhelming when I see anyone telling me I need 5+ products on my hair. As an elder millennial I literally use 1 product for my hair and body. Judge me all you want. Lol.
yup! I agree, if it aint broke don't fix it
😂 Facts.
I too, am an elder millennial and...I cry thinking of all of the money I spent on products at the height of hair UA-cam. I literally only use rosewater and a dandruff shampoo now.
I'm not an elder, but I also only use one product for my hair. And I make it myself 😎
Not elder millennials 😭😭 stay strong, yall
HEEEEY! I am starting my loc journey to you thanks to you. I cant get free form because of work but I have been through so much in my family for not looking bi racial. I been natural since 2019, I had my mom secretly perm my hair and it fall out, I had a stylist cop off my hair rather than comb out product i didnt ask for. I wish I be like you! I be preaching the same things as you. I want my kids to love thier blackness just like you 💕💗🙏🏿
Hey girl, heeey! I see no reason why people would lie on their journey, but to each its own 🤷🏾♀️
Because she's being PAID to endorse that product line Ma'am, that's why.
While there definitely are natural ingredients that help hair growth, Eva and Kenya both push hair products when they clearly are results of genetics.

The Nollywood meme 💀💀
as soon she explained that the growth was from shampoo I screammeerddd and we can tell those are starter locs they love bashing locs but get faux locs/ starter locs 2 I hate how they hate on type 4 hair it’s frustrating
Six months!? Oh, girl. My sister started with a big chop and has had locks for 7ish yrs. It's a little past her shoulders.
Btw, you look so good! 😍 And I especially love those jeans.
Thank you! My hair grew super fast in locs. Took almost 5 years to get to shoulder length. Atleast 3.5yrs to get the length the lady claims her natural hair was in the video. 😒
I love that you reclaim the word nappy. Imma do it too. TY! Eff acting like there is something so wrong with my hair that I can't even describe it in a word or get all awkward trying to describe this brand of "curly." No, FTS. It's nappy. It's kinky. I'm free.
💯💯💯💯
I don't like it, coily, kinky sounds like a better description to me. Using nappy to me is like how black people tried to reclaim the word nigga, i don't think that's the right trajectory to take
@@elle_l808l it only doesn’t sound good to you Bc white folk told u it didn’t 💀😂🤷♀️💯
@@carmenalexis4787 I'm in africa, we don't even use that word here, we call our hair kinky, i adopted 'coily' just as a description of my curl pattern. Nappy is a weird word, it doesn't even have a proper definition, i think if it cam sound derogatory depending on who says it then there's definitely something wrong with the word, just like the word nigga, weird words black people are trying to claim but should really just stray away from
Like... Honestly... Define nappy🤷🏽♀️ clearly... Because I couldn't find a description of what nappy is, it sounds like something prickly and tangled 😅ah it's a no from me, but unfortunately you're entitled to call your hair nappy if you want 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
whew. thanks for talking about this!!!!! the amount of lies Eva got caught in on RHOA this ain’t surprising at all. but its very unfortunate. and i love that you pointed out her using the word “nappy” in a derogatory way!!!! ugghh
She’s definitely pushing that product because what magic oil can make your hair grow that fast?! I wish. I love when you highlighted that “it’s not just hair” because hair impacts many facets of everyday living. Thank you for sharing!
Firstly, you look super cute as always. Love the necklace. Regarding the ripped jeans, I'm from the Caribbean, my dad is in his 80s and feels the same. He explained that when he worked in the cane fields, they would have to wear the thickest denim and the cane blades were so sharp that it would rip the denim to threads within days. They were paid less than 25c a day for their labor. When ripped jeans came into to fashion, he felt as if it was spitting in the face of persons like him who practically slaved away in the fields. Now some white man was making a fashion statement and millions off of their suffering.
Eva, ugh. A while back I saw a video on IG, a page called Nappstar, company of the products she's selling and she was getting her extensions removed by the owner, a light skinned black woman. Her hair didn't even reach her shoulders when it was removed. To see a video like this knowing there's one with the take down of the fake locs is madness. It's sloppy and neither her or Nappstar cared to even hide the lie.
Eva is a colorist, she problematic but she's also a biracial, green eyed woman who will get a pass because who really cares about insults thrown at dark women with actually kinky hair? The excuse would be that she's black too so it's fine.
It took 5 years for my 4c hair to visually reached my shoulders. I started my journey with shoulder length hair but as it started to loc, it tighten so much that it shrinked to almost half its original length. There's no magical way to grow hair, it takes time and patience.
oh wowww thank you so much for explaining this- it actually makes sense. smh wow, yeah I can see how its white people positing off a fashion of those who actually did manual labor.
omg I just saw this ig video!! lol she is so wild because there's actually so much evidence of her lying. and ur right there is no magic and thats what makes the natural hair journey special because one has to just wait.

@@macummings7818 same im still thinking bout it
Even when you have hair with "weird textures" that don't really fall into one category or other (because man, my hair be like soft curls at the back of my neck and mostly fuzzy to real kinky on the top of my head) there's nothing that you do that "makes your hair grow". It either grows or doesn't (genetics) and then, most people who think their hair doesn't grow often thinks that because they keep breaking the damn hair by pulling on it with the wrong instruments... More often then not, if you leave the hair alone you'll see it grow. I was so sick and tired of people asking me what I put in my hair to make it grow. The answer? Nothing! I do nothing to my hair to make it grow! In fact, I cut it all off not once, twice in my life. People should stop lying about hair.
Look. Nobody and I mean nobody regardless of ethnicity or genetics would be able to grow that much hair in 6 months.
I stopped pulling my hair out once I ditched combs and brushes and it grew. People are always expecting some miracle hair regime. I don’t do anything special. I just take care of it don’t damage it with combs, chemicals, and straighteners. That’s it!
Hi Mayowa! 🙋🏾♀️

Thanks for sharing.. I watched that video few days back.. And its sad to see what deception money can buy into.. If the loc is fake then the products advertised is Fake...
I LOVE Kinky hair. I have learned that my kinky hare is AMAZING! I mean, straight hair is recessive.
AND yes I was heavy on antm back in the first seasons. She was always nasty, uppidity, rude, colorists ect,
No lies told 🔥 also, what is with people who can't accept that maybe their hair just isn't meant to loc and that's ok? Am I the only one seeing Eva's wispy real texture hair, hella fine/thin, poking thru the locs and me thinking naaaw your hair fighting for its life for why 😭
Also my fave part of the outfit: def the denim! I love an asymmetric distressed/rip jean leg 💞
Her hair is cute the way it is, I'd leave it alone if I were her... Before she be out here balding
@@JesusLovesEVERYTHING right?? Like is the cheque and attention worth it?
I also find it a bit odd that in interviews I've found she cites her daughter's locs as inspo. Like, at first that seems harmless and sweet like aw mom-daughter moment. But also....I don't think I've really seen a darkskin monoracial Black woman, ever really get asked what their inspiration for locs was or into the specifics of their journey. Unless it's political! So it's just kinda feels to me, extra and again highlighting the sweet moments of a lightskin person's hair journey in a way that darkskin people are just not afforded in media.
@@keisha_james well.. us black folk are a different breed. We usually change our hair around to dreads or go natural for something political, or like myself for spiritual reasons. Just straying from the European beauty standard is and should be considered a rebellion. But honestly every time I see some girl with dreads, I fall in love with them and I begin missing my dreads all over again.. too bad I like variety lol
@@keisha_james bingo!! u spoke truth
Your whole outfit is great! Loved the brows but at first I didn't know what to think!
Smh. These “celebrities” will do anything for a check now a days 🙄. Eva knew the black community (shoot, mankind for that matter) would be able to clearly identify that her locs were not natural. Yet, she still came on a popular platform, showed all 34 of her teeth, and lied to the people. I never fancied her anyways. She has displayed some disgusting behavior on camera (with no regard or shame) so I can only imagine what she says behind closed doors.
As you mentioned, Harpers should have done their homework on the individuals they bring to their platform. But then again, these popular platforms could care less…. especially when it comes to black people. They just want the black dollar and the black culture.
Kenya's hair is loose because its heat dammaged. She straightens it super often. I remember when her hair was short. She is more a 4a hair texture. But nappy it is not in any way. Not even gonna speak on Eva. Never liked her since i first saw her face on ANTM. She is so stuck up. Dislike her personality tremendously.
I recently discovered your channel and I love Nigerians! ♥️I have the hair texture of Eva. I began my lock journey in 1992. It was about two years before I could see the hair napping…
She is lying and this why I don’t support these fools. Continue your good work and tell your family that I hope to visit Nigeria soon! ♥️♥️♥️
I hate to see how so many women wear fake locks so that they can perpetuate the lies. I wear locks as a phuck-you to European centered notions of beauty and acceptance.

My favorite part of your outfit is all of it. You are very creative and beautiful. Please keep going you are really giving insight and truth. Those two combinations always win in the end. ❤
Love the whole outfit, including the eyebrows but my favorite part was your necklace ✨💙🦋
I love how confident you are in yourself. My daughter is your complexion and she was feeling down about being dark, bc of friends from school, but I kept affirming her and letting her know how beautiful and great she was. She has locs as well, and she is loving every moment of it. I just love your commentary on Eva call her out girl people need to know. Liars need to be put on the spot. Thank you for that btw I subscribed to your channel. Be blessed and keep it up. #queen #beauty

The lace top is my fav part. Have a safe trip!

SIS, we need more thrifting/fashion content🤝
You wear YOU well ALWAYS.
SIDE BAR: I LOVED your Ramen noodles and Slippin & Slidin comparison to Eva's texture of hair! 🤣
The eyebrows are a mood. I would've never thought to do that type of contrast, you got me out here about to experiment💄
I love your "nappy locs" with the lace top and jeans...great!
i think loose curl textures can lock their hair, but not in locs as thin as that. i'd imagine you'd need more hair strands per loc for any budding and locing to occur. correct me if im wrong
Honestly, I’ve seen it done. I knew a guy with straight/wavy hair (he was Indian and had locs for religious reasons) and his locs were thin (about 3/4 of a pinky finger at most) and very long down to his knees. He said that they have there own ancient cultural way of doing it that involved weekly washing, olive oil, scalp massage and “working the hair daily” until it’s locked. He said it was a lot of work but it was for his religion so it was worth it. I wish I could remember what his specific beliefs were, it wasn’t Buddhist or Sikh, I only remember that he said it was a religion practiced in Northern India… if I remember I’ll come back and edit the comment lol
