You are so right. All these people with the music, lights and sounds,,,,,so unnecessary. I feel like I am in class when I watch her class. Looking forward, glasses on, pen and paper. Lol
Agree! This channel is a gem within this community. There is other smart channels but greenbeauty is giving me loads of information and visual detail- it satisfies my visual learning needs
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. John 3:16(KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Pray this prayer. The prayer doesn't get you to heaven but believing in Jesus does.) Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I deserve hell. I realize that you died on the cross to save me. Please forgive me. Please come into my heart and save me now. I am trusting only you for my eternal salvation. Help me now that I am saved to serve you faithfully. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen. It is worth it to know him.
Ok sis! She comes through with all the bomb ass hair tips like no other. So many influencers are fos. They have a new potion or elixir 4 days a week! How?? Make it make sense! I want to call her out but I won’t. She only does it for likes and views. GB has a far better approach to hair and she’s SINCERE!!
What I learned from being a natural for 10 years: 1. Keep your scalp clean and at the healthy pH ( around 4.0-5.0) by avoiding product buildup at all costs. 2. Keep your hair stretched to avoid tangles and knots and get regular trims to prevent split ends 3. NEVER let your hair dry out 4. Always moisturize and seal the moisture in (LO, LC) 5. Avoid heat damage at all costs 6. Sleep with a silk bonnet on a silk pillowcase 7. Massage your scalp daily 8. Avoid manipulating your hair and use long term protective hairstyles. 9. Never put tension on your roots and edges. 10. Retain length by caring for your ends 11. Get regular trims to get rid of damaged ends (every 2 months) . 12. Alternate between monthly protein treatments and deep moisturizing conditioners to maintain protein/moisture balance.
I'm glad you made this video because I'm so tired of people trying to tell me my hair is unhealthy because I get breakage & knots when I wear my hair shrunken. Wash & go's AREN'T FOR EVERYONE. ❤😊❤
@@nibirue Yeah, I'm learning this the hard way. Half is me is hoping the alleged 4c will act right if I begin deep conditioning on a regular basis. The other half is slowly accepting that I might just have both 4b and 4c.
that's why I stopped using water as a daily moisturizer. evaporated water on my 4c caused major knots. I use oils and butters only. it's too good to be true. my single strand knots became less and less. now I have zero problems with knots.
@@pri_shay_dior yes. at first I was only using olive oil but my hair needed something more. I made my own hair butter using castor oil, grapeseed oil and cocoa butter. one haircare mistake I was making was waiting until my hair was in need of moisture. so now every night I'm keeping my ends moisturize with my hair butter. my 4c low porosity hair drinks up oil whereas when I was 4ab normal porosity, I could go days without having to moisturize my hair. oh yeah and I've totally eliminated shampoos which caused my hair to become more of a tangled mess. oh the frustration! thanks to youtuber Naturally High I found my solution, KAOLIN CLAY!
It's been almost 2 1/2 years and I definitely don't have the length that I should have based on average hair growth, so I am for sure doing somethin wrong, thanks for sharing your knowledge and showing us the scientific way of hair growth/hair health. I will most definitely be following your tips and knowledge going forward with my journey!
Share, share, share this video!. I am coming across waaay too many misinformed and confused youtubers and followers giving all sort of advise that make no sense whatsoever hence probably why the resurgence of woman going back to creamy crack! By all means follow you favourites because they have cute hair and give great styling tutorials but learn to know and understand your hair and it starts with making your own research and THIS Channel!
I saw this video and burst into tears. I've been natural for nearly 6 years and my hair is the same length. It looks like I need to go back to the basics. I'm struggling with my ends and maintaining moisture (low porosity).
I'm right there with you. My ends get dry so quickly and knot if shrunken at all. I think I retained 3in of growth last year. Sigh. Im still in the TWA phase. I just twisted my hair last night with a butter and will be wearing silk scarves and wigs for the rest of winter. Just focusing on retention this year.
Curl Demon wym by problem area. If you mean a area that’s growing slower than the rest then yeah I used to have that problem. My sides weren’t growing and stayed the same for the longest but I started getting my hair braided and leaving my hair alone and not my sides are about 9 inches before they were like 4 and it’s been a year so I say just try and let your hair do it’s thing and leave it in protective styles
You always save me from chopping off my hair. Every time I’m frustrated with my natural hair I watch one of your videos and I realize that I need to be patient and gentle kind especially to my ends. Keeping my scalp clean and my hair moisturized has made my hair thrive. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.
I did my 2nd big chop last year and have super short hair, but I watch anyway. Almost makes me want to restart my hair journey just to treat my hair nicer this rounds. Almost.
In my experience just braiding or twisting my hair is not enough to prevent single strand knots. As they mostly form at the ends I need to add some sort of rollers to the ends to really stretch them and avoid SSK. I used to have tons of SSK by just braiding or twisting my hair and letting the ends unstretch because braids or twists don’t stretch the ends of the hair. I resorted to cutting inches of hair because of that but I ve learned my lesson now.
Same here so what I do after I have twisted my hair I rap the ends up the twist - like a bantu k it but just at the end. This has been a major game changer for me because it keeps my ends really streatched, thus preventing single strand knots. Not to mention my twists look so muh neater when I do it.
I agree to stretching my ends too, to avd SSK's, but how else can we safely stretch our ends? Esp for me, am at TWA stage of 3-5 inches all over? For instance should we AVOID doing BANTU KNOTS? Since that makes us TWIST (OVER-HANDLE?) the ends around the strand-base of the hair? -(BK protects ends, seals are kept in longer BUT ends get constantly handled when untangles during daily maintainance, styling and massaging??) I can only think of keeping the ends detangled and twisted into the BK more gently. I even put a small hairband on to keep in place, though it still roughens eventually.
if you can get ur hands on guava leave, boil it and use it as a final rinse after s&c or as leave in spray. it's a life saver. save my bleached hair from falling all off
Do you have a book? You should be a Professor...they don’t teach about the biochemistry of hair in biochem class and they should...actually they do briefly but not as detailed as you
Re-watched this and just realized why my ends prefer pineapples versus twists or bantu knots for bedtime. All night in a twist, and over time my ends fade away. My roots and mid-sections appreciate a silk scrunchie for reducing tangles. So, I'm betting on pineapples + a silk scarf for better length retention over the next 12 months. #consistencyiskey Thank you, @greenbeauty! 🌺
I have so much respect for you. You've saved my hair from a rice water treatment gone wrong...Everything you say is clearly evidence-based and tested on yourself. Not to mention how much effort it takes to make those animations! Thanks for your work. I take your advice to heart.
Your videos and tips are extremely helpful!!! My hair journey started off great, and the last two years have been terrible for retaining length. I am now confident that I'm on the right hair track, and a large part is due to your videos. Thank you for your research, and knowledge!
Your channel is FIYE I'm a guy just started my natural hair and it got hectic as hell to manage as it started getting longer. So happy the algorithms had you pop up. So much conflicting and cross information out there, but your information is so clear. Like well illustrated everything is defined and easy to understand I'm so excited to try out all of these tips, I'm here taking notes from all of your videos not just this one. Great work
Thank. Our hair (especially when it gets longer) responds better to a simple, low manipulation regimen. Keep things simple and consistent and your hair will thank you.
Your videos are such quality, you don't just do things because others do them but you actually understand how hair works and growth. I truly appreciate the effort and the quality of your work. Thank you so much. You are Gold among many bronze videos in UA-cam.
This video really helped me.thamk you. And i agreee with what you said about the trimming. My family doesnt allow us to cut or trim our hair but this really makes sense. This is the first video that helped me.and hopefully my parents realize why trimming my hair is important.
This video literally came after I gave myself a much needed trim xD Like, I had single strand knots on single strand knots. Wasn't pretty, and some parts of my hair started breaking 😭😭😭 I took my notes, so I will make sure I follow these tips so that my new ends can stay as healthy as possible. Thanks so much! :)
Just stumbled on this channel. This is the most professional, knowledgeable, easy to understand channel I’ve seen on natural hair. Thank you for educating me on the mf😂 knots on these ends-nice to know how to handle them now! Great voice over!!!!
almost every video i see says SCALP its all about the scalp.massage it cream it clean it.the odd one says give the ends a good cut..n here you are with the best advice I HAVE seen on you tube.thank you.
This is a super informative video! I have two questions: 1. How do you prevent your hair from shrinking after moisturizing it? 2. Why does it seem like some people's hair shrink more than others/why is it easier for some hair in the same typing category to stay stretched?
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. I have learned so much about my hair and what I've been doing wrong all this time. You have changed my life forever. THANK YOU!
Your information has lifted a heavy feeling of not knowing what to do with my hair other than cutting it all off. Can I ask what products/stretching styles would you suggest. Thank you 🌹
i have been natural for over 7 years now and my hair never go over my shoulder( i damage with colour) now i'm colour free and looking forward to get growth on my hair. whole this time i saw so many videos and different influencers, but without a doubt you're the best one because you show the science behind it..THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS
You are still my favorite because you are so knowledgeable and your videos are very informative we have NO other women of color on UA-cam to teach us. We need you thank you and see you next video.👍🏽❤️❤️😄😄😄😄
Thanks again and HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is a very practical and much needed area of hair care. Now updating my Ends-Regimen by applying less tension to my TWA ends while doing Bantu knots and also more determined to SPRAY-WET AND SEAL my High Porosity hair 2-3 TIMES a DAY so can stay ahead of the dryness.
Lol shiiiittt!! All my 21 years on Planet Earth in Jamaica. I have never moisturize my ends, just my roots. Thanks for this video. I recommended you to most of my friends
I watched it at the right time, I was about to cut at least 3” hair tomorrow, I’m natural , I went to to a salon last December, she cooked my hair now I’m suffering heat damaged, culturally we cut our hair every June 24th , while I’m looking for proper way to trim my ends , I can tell you save the Dr hair. Thank you, I will still trim them but not cut like I was intended to do.
DAMNNNN I don’t think there is ANYONE who knows all of the nuances and is able to explain like you do. You are super detailed and super knowledgeable. I’m highly impressed
When unraveling my twist or braids. I start at the ends first and then after they are part, I can unravel from top...this, as well as adding oil or something for slip, helped a lot for my end to not tangle and reduce knots towards my ends.
This is perhaps the best advice that I have received. A lot of people just say cut off you ends. I've stalled my length by doing this. My ends do tend to be more dry. I feel dumb because it's never occured to me to just give my ends more moisture. I just cut whenever l don't like how they feel and it's not like I've been heat styling. I used a blowdryer for the first time in two years about a month ago. Lol. I'm definitely trying this and seeing how my ends do.
Even if your hair is low porosity, treat your ends as if they are high porosity. So, when you moisturize your hair, make more effort to seal in the moisture in your ends. You can also do a protein treatment on just your ends as well.
Okay Sis.....stating the MF word to describe those unwanted knots tickled me, but subsequently you are communicating the TRUTH about how we should protect the integrity of our natural hair ESPECIALLY our ends!!! Thank you for another excellent and informative video✌🏾️💁🏾😘 Stay BLESSED and inspired
Thank you! I have been experiencing growth, but lately have been struggling with my ends. Shrinkage and dryness are my struggles. I believe this tips will help!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! I appreciate your research, knowledge, and detailed videos!! You get straight to the point and that is what absolutely love about your videos! I just trimmed my ends, and got rid of those dusty strands. My ends, and my hair has been transformed! FINALLY I am able to finger coil my ends and they curl, do not become unraveled, and lay down.. wow! May the Most High bless you with whatever you stand on need of always.. Thanks again for sharing and your informational videos. Please keep your videos coming. 😊
I stopped putting my hair in a scrunchy/bun because I found that style required too much manipulation on the daily. Now, I leave it in twists between washings, which has every part of my hair giving thanks.
Thanks so much Green Beauty. I truly appreciate your discussion regarding ends. I will start to pay much more attention to them. I seldom cut or dust my hair and the salons I go to are scissor happy. I am afraid to try it myself though but it looks like I will have to learn. I have been gray for many years now and believe me people around me were really upset with me when I stopped using chemicals on my hair. Not using chemical relaxers or coloring made my scalp feel so much better as well as my pocket book. I don't work around those people anymore though. I get a lot of compliments from the people currently around me so I presume I am doing something right. Kudos to you Green Geauty and again I appreciate all the positive vibes and information.
Thank you soooo muchhh ... single strand knots or fairy nots have been keeping me back and its been such a struggle. Its gotten to point where i get tired of it and just cut it
Love your calm soothing and informative style! It's so refreshing to just get good information and wisdom free of drama and fancy footwork. I also deeply appreciate the focus on the knowledge and less focus on the human image. Therefore I'm a new subbie
It's all about routine. I am now 4 years natural,my picture is from 2015. I just did my midweek moisture session which consisted of spraying hair with warm water mixed with a small amount of jojoba & Aloe Vera juice.After I dampened my hair with that mixture,I then added my B&B hair lotion and then sealed all of that good moisture with Blue Magic grease.Nothing seals my hair like grease! You see the oils and such don't do anything for my hair topically. However I do drink 5 very green smoothies a week.I deep condition every week with a cheap Creme Of Nature product but on top of that deep condition,I also do a hot oil treatment to seal in that deep conditioner too.I most definitely appreciate Green Beauty efforts. All of my products are not natural but they are definitely working.
I have hair with a bigger curl pattern but also a lot of breakage and these video's are just so knowledgable. Not only usable for kinky hair, but for every kind of hair. thank you :)
Honestly i can safely say coming across ur channel is the best thing that has happened 2 me as regards natural hair care. My relaxed hair grew like weed when it gets to 16 inches it starts 2 break then i decided 2 go natural without an idea on how 2 go on this journey. I now know that my hair is low porosity, i have 2 always section my hair before coming bc of my ends, It's so full. I want 2 specially thank u for taking ur time 2 profer solutions on length retention.
I learn that my hair 4c and needed lots of moisture so all i did was use water and blue magic. I now deep condition my hair once a month as well as trim every 3 months or as needed now my hair is pass my shoulders. I learned just to keep it in a protective style for the winter months and watch what i eat making sure i eat healthy foods such as bake chicken with no skin, salads, greens and nuts as well as drink 4 liters of water through out the day! it works so well now thank you for your video!!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve struggled with SSK for so long and this is so so helpful! Getting my January trim tomorrow so hopefully using your techniques I’ll hit WL by the end of this year ✨💪🏾
Did this for the first time today! I didunravel my braids but after washing and conditioning, I did moisturize my length the three separate sections in mind!
Wow. SO much good, detailed and needed information! I had quite a few 'aha' moments about the craziness that's going on with my ends and breakage and dryness and the sudden onset of single-strand knots thanks to this video. Thanks so much! :)
She takes such good care of her hair I admire that because all I do is deep condition, wash, and repeat once a week and do wash and go's I'm still trying to learn to take care of my hair I've been natural all my life but I wore weave so I'm new to this
New subbie and I absolutely love love love your channel... you are actually educating everyone on proper hair care with well planned out tutorials.... I have been growing my hair out for almost 10 years and I have had my share of ups and downs. I did get my hair to about 19 inches but I fell off my regiment and I am trying to get back to my consistent hair regiment. Definitely going to be watching your videos to help tweak somethings in my regiment.
Okay so basically my ends is my ride or die and I have been treating it like a side chick
global princess 😂😂yes

I love this list but how do we avoid air drying while also avoiding heat?
@@299justme you can diffuse or use the cool setting on your blow dryer (more time consuming but worth it)
I immediately got out of bed to moisturize my ends with aloe spray and avocado cream! 👍🏾

Thank you and happy new year! i have been taking a few steps to retain my growth and i hope that i will see a difference!
Your editing skills are beyond me!
Omg finally i found someone whose gets to the point
Your channel is amazing in every way.. it’s so educational and your voice is so peaceful and calming.. I love it!
I hate those MF single strand knots as well. I feel like I'm struggling to keep my ends happy. Discouraging but ill try these tips. Thanks for sharing
One thing I'm doing new this year is the plastic wrap method on my ends. After I moisturize and seal them, I'm wrapping plastic wrap on the ends.
This video really helped me.thamk you. And i agreee with what you said about the trimming. My family doesnt allow us to cut or trim our hair but this really makes sense. This is the first video that helped me.and hopefully my parents realize why trimming my hair is important.
This video literally came after I gave myself a much needed trim xD Like, I had single strand knots on single strand knots. Wasn't pretty, and some parts of my hair started breaking 😭😭😭 I took my notes, so I will make sure I follow these tips so that my new ends can stay as healthy as possible. Thanks so much! :)
Love your videos. Very detailed without being long and dragged out. Happy New Year!
Just stumbled on this channel. This is the most professional, knowledgeable, easy to understand channel I’ve seen on natural hair. Thank you for educating me on the mf😂 knots on these ends-nice to know how to handle them now! Great voice over!!!!
almost every video i see says SCALP its all about the scalp.massage it cream it clean it.the odd one says give the ends a good cut..n here you are with the best advice I HAVE seen on you tube.thank you.
This is a super informative video! I have two questions: 1. How do you prevent your hair from shrinking after moisturizing it? 2. Why does it seem like some people's hair shrink more than others/why is it easier for some hair in the same typing category to stay stretched?
OMG, Sis, you are a GODSEND and I'm grateful for you. You answered the question I've had for 13 years! Thank you.
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. I have learned so much about my hair and what I've been doing wrong all this time. You have changed my life forever. THANK YOU!
Your information has lifted a heavy feeling of not knowing what to do with my hair other than cutting it all off. Can I ask what products/stretching styles would you suggest. Thank you 🌹
I’ve never pressed subscribe SO FAST! You produce such quality videos!! I’m so happy I found you!
i have been natural for over 7 years now and my hair never go over my shoulder( i damage with colour) now i'm colour free and looking forward to get growth on my hair. whole this time i saw so many videos and different influencers, but without a doubt you're the best one because you show the science behind it..THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS
You are still my favorite because you are so knowledgeable and your videos are very informative we have NO other women of color on UA-cam to teach us. We need you thank you and see you next video.👍🏽❤️❤️😄😄😄😄
Thanks again and HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is a very practical and much needed area of hair care. Now updating my Ends-Regimen by applying less tension to my TWA ends while doing Bantu knots and also more determined to SPRAY-WET AND SEAL my High Porosity hair 2-3 TIMES a DAY so can stay ahead of the dryness.
Natural Hair Video of the Year 2020. Finally someone who has explained how my hair knots and breaks. Subscribed.
I love how she explains everything so clearly. Thank u so much
Lol shiiiittt!! All my 21 years on Planet Earth in Jamaica. I have never moisturize my ends, just my roots.
Thanks for this video. I recommended you to most of my friends
I watched it at the right time, I was about to cut at least 3” hair tomorrow, I’m natural , I went to to a salon last December, she cooked my hair now I’m suffering heat damaged, culturally we cut our hair every June 24th , while I’m looking for proper way to trim my ends , I can tell you save the Dr hair. Thank you, I will still trim them but not cut like I was intended to do.
DAMNNNN I don’t think there is ANYONE who knows all of the nuances and is able to explain like you do. You are super detailed and super knowledgeable. I’m highly impressed
Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊 thanks for sharing 😊 I need to implement staying ahead of the dryness step☝🏾
When unraveling my twist or braids. I start at the ends first and then after they are part, I can unravel from top...this, as well as adding oil or something for slip, helped a lot for my end to not tangle and reduce knots towards my ends.
This is perhaps the best advice that I have received. A lot of people just say cut off you ends. I've stalled my length by doing this. My ends do tend to be more dry. I feel dumb because it's never occured to me to just give my ends more moisture. I just cut whenever l don't like how they feel and it's not like I've been heat styling. I used a blowdryer for the first time in two years about a month ago. Lol. I'm definitely trying this and seeing how my ends do.
Thx for this reminder on caring for our ends. Think I am better at it now. I wrap it around after twisting which helps a lot. 👍🥰💕
Even if your hair is low porosity, treat your ends as if they are high porosity. So, when you moisturize your hair, make more effort to seal in the moisture in your ends. You can also do a protein treatment on just your ends as well.
I just love your voice over... Made me pay maximum attention.
Thank you ☺️
Okay Sis.....stating the MF word to describe those unwanted knots tickled me, but subsequently you are communicating the TRUTH about how we should protect the integrity of our natural hair ESPECIALLY our ends!!! Thank you for another excellent and informative video✌🏾️💁🏾😘
Stay BLESSED and inspired
Your daughter is most fortunate. She has your eyes.
You’re the best. I mean... The best. Nothing else to add but... thank you ☺️
Thank you! I have been experiencing growth, but lately have been struggling with my ends. Shrinkage and dryness are my struggles. I believe this tips will help!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! I appreciate your research, knowledge, and detailed videos!! You get straight to the point and that is what absolutely love about your videos! I just trimmed my ends, and got rid of those dusty strands. My ends, and my hair has been
transformed! FINALLY I am able to finger coil my ends and they curl, do not become unraveled, and lay down.. wow!
May the Most High bless you with whatever you stand on need of always..
Thanks again for sharing and your informational videos.
Please keep your videos coming. 😊
I stopped putting my hair in a scrunchy/bun because I found that style required too much manipulation on the daily. Now, I leave it in twists between washings, which has every part of my hair giving thanks.
Fantastic update. Protect the oldsters. Nice reminder. They are the growth retention proof.
Thanks so much Green Beauty. I truly appreciate your discussion regarding ends. I will start to pay much more attention to them. I seldom cut or dust my hair and the salons I go to are scissor happy. I am afraid to try it myself though but it looks like I will have to learn. I have been gray for many years now and believe me people around me were really upset with me when I stopped using chemicals on my hair. Not using chemical relaxers or coloring made my scalp feel so much better as well as my pocket book. I don't work around those people anymore though. I get a lot of compliments from the people currently around me so I presume I am doing something right. Kudos to you Green Geauty and again I appreciate all the positive vibes and information.
I still have a long way to go length wise but you are the only you tuber whose videos have been informative and helpful to me
Thank you soooo muchhh ... single strand knots or fairy nots have been keeping me back and its been such a struggle. Its gotten to point where i get tired of it and just cut it
You're hair is so beautiful ❤
Love your calm soothing and informative style! It's so refreshing to just get good information and wisdom free of drama and fancy footwork. I also deeply appreciate the focus on the knowledge and less focus on the human image. Therefore I'm a new subbie
I almost spit out my carrot when u dropped the F Bomb!! LOL,....YESSS I FEEL THE SAME WAY! Tired of set backs! Great video as usual! :)
It's all about routine. I am now 4 years natural,my picture is from 2015. I just did my midweek moisture session which consisted of spraying hair with warm water mixed with a small amount of jojoba & Aloe Vera juice.After I dampened my hair with that mixture,I then added my B&B hair lotion and then sealed all of that good moisture with Blue Magic grease.Nothing seals my hair like grease! You see the oils and such don't do anything for my hair topically. However I do drink 5 very green smoothies a week.I deep condition every week with a cheap Creme Of Nature product but on top of that deep condition,I also do a hot oil treatment to seal in that deep conditioner too.I most definitely appreciate Green Beauty efforts. All of my products are not natural but they are definitely working.
I have hair with a bigger curl pattern but also a lot of breakage and these video's are just so knowledgable. Not only usable for kinky hair, but for every kind of hair. thank you :)
Honestly i can safely say coming across ur channel is the best thing that has happened 2 me as regards natural hair care. My relaxed hair grew like weed when it gets to 16 inches it starts 2 break then i decided 2 go natural without an idea on how 2 go on this journey. I now know that my hair is low porosity, i have 2 always section my hair before coming bc of my ends, It's so full. I want 2 specially thank u for taking ur time 2 profer solutions on length retention.
Her voice is sooo calming
I chopped 3 inches off at the end of April and I feel so happy. No more unbearable tangles on wash day and my curls are popping. #healthoverlength
random question: how do u maintain your hair with longish nails. whenever I grow my nails and do my hair, my hair gets caught in the nail
Thank you ❤️ The best informative natural hair video on UA-cam
I learn that my hair 4c and needed lots of moisture so all i did was use water and blue magic. I now deep condition my hair once a month as well as trim every 3 months or as needed now my hair is pass my shoulders. I learned just to keep it in a protective style for the winter months and watch what i eat making sure i eat healthy foods such as bake chicken with no skin, salads, greens and nuts as well as drink 4 liters of water through out the day! it works so well now thank you for your video!!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve struggled with SSK for so long and this is so so helpful! Getting my January trim tomorrow so hopefully using your techniques I’ll hit WL by the end of this year ✨💪🏾
Did this for the first time today! I didunravel my braids but after washing and conditioning, I did moisturize my length the three separate sections in mind!
Congrats you and Iyda Michael is my favorite hair care channels. You both use your all chemist knowledge to educate us how to take care of our hair.
Wow. SO much good, detailed and needed information! I had quite a few 'aha' moments about the craziness that's going on with my ends and breakage and dryness and the sudden onset of single-strand knots thanks to this video. Thanks so much! :)
She takes such good care of her hair I admire that because all I do is deep condition, wash, and repeat once a week and do wash and go's I'm still trying to learn to take care of my hair I've been natural all my life but I wore weave so I'm new to this
favorite natural hair channel💚
She always put the videos I need exactly when I need it !
2:47😂😂😂 OMG i'am dying right now...
Lmaoo and hi army💜
I got so caught off guard because thats the picture for my school account
New subbie and I absolutely love love love your channel... you are actually educating everyone on proper hair care with well planned out tutorials.... I have been growing my hair out for almost 10 years and I have had my share of ups and downs. I did get my hair to about 19 inches but I fell off my regiment and I am trying to get back to my consistent hair regiment. Definitely going to be watching your videos to help tweak somethings in my regiment.
