Can we talk about why natural hair products got those long ass names tho?!! Shea Moisture Coconut Honey Manuka Strengthen Shine Hold Anti-Frizz Intense Leave-In Conditioner 🙄
No one told me... that natural DOES NOT mean low maintenance. I though that water, a brush and some moisturizer would do it. My type 4 corrected me on that real quick!
Lori Moore You haven't mastered "The Evil Eye"!!! All I have to do is look at the person when they raise their hands. Those hands get lowered real quick!!
I'm a senior and no one ever told me back in the days that my hair was beautiful that I can go natural because it wasn't heard of in my time but I did cry wants to go natural and my so-called friends they told me who girl you need to do something with that nappy hair now most of them are bald all have alopecia or bald spots or very thinning hair I have waist length hair and I take care of my hair and I always was in the realm of taking care of my hair just didn't know how I know it was something there but I didn't know how to take care of my hair now I'm more happy or happier to be a natural hair lady I never have problems with my edges but I did do some heavy burning with the straightening comb trying to follow others and what other people thought but I've never been so happy then to have natural hair I wash it whenever I want to I know how the manipulated I know how to stretch it I know how to do everything so why am I an old-time or very experienced natural hair person and no I don't have dreads or locs I have regular hair that are braids I dry it stretch it sometime I even take the blow dryer on cool and blow it dry so that I won't have tangles florals or whatever you call them but I am very happy and I wish that anyone who want to be on a natural hair Journey with try it and enjoy it I enjoy it sometime when I'm sitting down looking at TV I'll massage my scalp and I also color my hair with a natural die and I'm very very happy and all you beautiful ladies please try it don't become a natural hair Junkie wood products that you don't need find out what works for you and go for it you will appreciate it in the end when you are 50 60 maybe even 70 and you have hair
@@emmanuellao2248 I'm only into having healthy natural hair and to say to ladies no matter what you choose is just met your hair be healthy so that you can have here well if you decide to change buy shaving your hair is what you choose to do it makes me happy because I thought it would be so hard but for me it hasn't been and I do have 4A or 4B hair and I'm very happy I don't have to buy a lot of products I don't have to put chemical straighteners in my hair I do dye my hair with natural plant-based dye and I'm fine with it
No one told me that I’d have 3 completely different curl patterns on one head! TF?! Definitely agree with you on the time consuming and urge to go back straight points.
it is the most enjoyable thing that I have done in my life is having natural hair I like to wash my hair and it's not expensive I make a lot of my products I buy some hair conditioners but I'm not a product Junkie if I see something on sale and I've heard about it I made by one bottle of shampoo and one bottle of conditioner but I don't make it a habit I research things first and I'm telling you I spend approximately on my hair coloring which is Hannah and my hair products like oils almond oil coconut oil whatever kind of oil that is compatible with your hair and I spend a year less than $100
as my hair got longer I became more energized I was very happy to see my progress so I would do my hair more often sometime I would skip a day or two because I would have to get all my supplies together because I don't keep everything in the bathroom and then I would get to it once I get to it and I put my conditioners in and do my little housework or look at TV whatever I have to do all I can think of is just that I have to do my hair and I happily do it I don't wear wigs or protective styling I just keep my hair up on my shoulders and I know that's protective and I really don't think about it anymore I don't have to worry about my edges and I'm more happy with my natural hair that I was with my processed he'll straighten hair now I do blow dry my hair unless it would be so tangled that I wouldn't be able to get through it so long with shea butter oil and moisturizers that I use that's how I keep my head together but now I don't think about it because it's normal to me to be natural
No one told me I have to know what style I wanna do before an event and do it the day before so I can make sure my hair’s dry, and have time take down 😩
Yes!! From the sheer Disrespect!😡🤣. Now imagine having that texture in only 1/4 of your head😯. Do you know how Stupid I look when just that part starts shrinking??!😢😭
SPEAK ON IT! SPEAK ON IT!! SPEAK ON IT!!! Cause didn’t nobody tell me my hair wasn’t gon be like Tracee Ellis Ross’ hair after growing up watching her on Girlfriends!
You me and everybody else we should learn about our beautiful hair detangling find a good shampoo that you can come detangle while you're in the shower a good conditioner that you can the tangle your hair in the shower and twist each section before you put your towel on and then put your leave in conditioner if that's what you use in and why you putting your your your leave in conditioner twist your hair back and then however you dry it what do you braid it blow dry it whatever you do it should become easier but just find good products with good slip and don't go in like you washing clothes be gentle with down Strokes make sure your fingernails are not the have any snags in it if so use use plastic gloves open rubber gloves and that will help you with your detangling or less a finger detangling so you know fine things that will help you good shampoo with lots of slip good conditioner with a lot of slip and you know good luck on your journey
No one told me that my edges would NEVER lay!! I felt that straight hair thing on a personal level! My hair has been acting up for months!! I love my hair!! You said thay while I was complaining, got me together!
No one told me that natural hair products were so dang expensive! Or that detangling is just a replacement for arm day. Or that it takes 2-3 days for my hair to dry 🤦🏽♀️ I wouldn’t change my decision for anything though❤️
Anicia Stewart being natural is just as expensive as buying $400+ hair every 6 months. I read an article that said naturals spend thousands each year on natural hair products 😫😫. But you know what those shop days bring me joy 😂
Deja Lott I’m not even surprised. N they sure do bring me joy...have me in there looking at the new products I can try this week “ooo curl enhancing..let me put that in the lil basket”
UA-cam needs a love button because the level of real in this video is almost too much to handle. No one told me! Just title it “no one told me!” because I think the old school naturals low key wanted to initiate us like a sorority and they don’t tell us anything about what we are about to get into lol.
I Love my Hair💜 No one told me about "needing" clays, henna, rice water/onion juice rinses, etc. What happened to shampoo, condition, grease and style? 😏
Just saw this video and was ROTFL GIRL You Nailed this video!!!!! WHEW CHILD STILL TRYING TO CATCH MY BREATH AND WIPE THESE TEARS OFF MY FACE! HILARIOUS BUT 100% TRUE!!!!!!!!
No 1 told me you still need to use your blow dryer to stretch it sometimes only to go outside and its shrinking anyway. I use the same products that work 4 me. I'm over the new products
I no longer DIY stuff, or put food in my hair. Too many times got caught with those banana chunks in my hair, even when mixed *right* there would always be chunks in there. LOL Just my luck.
Nobody told me before going natural that I would actually go to sleep with the dryer cap on in order to pull my style off that I have spent 3 hours putting together!!😆😆
WHOLE VIDEO IS THE TRUTH! I was just trying to figure what is going to be my next protective style so I don’t have to deal with my natural hair because it is definitely not going to turn out like these other UA-cam girls. I really enjoyed the video.
THE MORGAN FREEMAN!! YES!! 😂😂 when you said “hoping wishing and praying your hair turn out good” that is the picture is saw! It’s the picture I see EVERYTIME I do a twist out! 😂🐽 Humidity!! I go outside. Come back and my twist out looks like a slept on fro! 😭 Shrinkage is disrespectful!
Girl why you got me feeling like I was sitting on your Therapy Couch telling you my struggles with being natural, you stepped on my toes with not one but all the issues. Thank you so much for putting it out there. I tried one of your styles and was ready to give up cause it didn't turn out like yours but I remembered you saying no to naturals are alike.
Girl I love this video so much because it hits so close to home for me. I did the big chop before I even knew what being natural was lol. I chopped it off because a sis was stressed and ppl were like "you look so nice natural" so I went with it lol. Grew my hair out and was feeling my natural fro but realized I don't have naturally curly hair so it started to became a burden. I recently chopped it again in June because I'm like I want to spend time with my kids, I'm tired of being late for work, I want to just watch TV on the couch, etc. You definitely weren't lying about natural hair being a part time job in all it's beauty. I may grow it back but I need to get my funds up first lol. These products are running my pockets more than my kids. Stay blessed beautiful 🙂
When she said “Say you love your hair” 😩🥺😢😌☺️ I’m still getting used to my natural hair It’s a struggle but I’m not going to stop until I say it without choking up a little Thank you sis
I really enjoyed this video!!! I was in tears laughing because I surely could relate to each and everyone on your conclusions when going natural. Surely needed to hear this as it confirmed all of my questions and concerns! LOVED IT! Love your energy! Thank you so much. I plan on visiting your website as well and no, I didn't know you had one. I have learned so much from your videos Especially doing perm rod sets. Much love and many blessings to you my melonated sista! Stay in peace. 💗
Great explanation. I wasn't too sure at the start but loved when you said you've got to learn to love💖 your hair. I learnt this about 2 years into my now 4 year journey. I make my own products but this took a long time to perfect. I wanted to get away from the product junkie state of mind. My struggles are that I have 2/3 distinct textures and porosity. Length at the back but not at the front. I have adapted my styling to deal with this. For example at the moment I have medium plaits at the front and 2 large flat twists at the back. I rarely wear my hair out but have become creative with my styling. I do think that naturals need to realise that it won't be easy to maintain natural hair but they should learn to love what they've got. We are all unique. I always say love your hair and it will love you back.
You spoke straight FACTS SIS !! they done lied to ppl talking about being natural is easy ! THE LIES THE LIES THE LIES. The moments on wanting to get that box relaxer and slap in my head comes when I walk outside and the humidity break dances on my roots ! Ohhhh and the real moments of truly loving yourself is so REAL !
You are so right. I used to watch Chime (Haircrush) when I was transitioning. She would spray glycerin into her hair often. And she lived down south! My hair does not keep definition with humidity and glycerin around. You live and you learn.
Good stuff. This is so true. I’ve never heard of porosity before going natural. I am a product junkie! I have so much stuff. I have a whole linen closet full of products. I changed my linen closet into my hair products closet! Lol
BULLSEYE with this entire video! I really hope the that someone who is thinking about going natural come across this video. This will definitely point them in the right direction. Embracing and loving our hair is a must! Tfs. God bless!
I get some of the best natural hair advice from your channel. This week I did a flexirod set and I remembered your tip to two strand twist each section at the root so my curls don't shrink up to my scalp with no hang time looking like a 2nd grader on picture day.
Everything she said in this video is so true! Every week I find myself asking why did I go natural? I also say let me go to this dollar store and get this relaxer kit. Then I change my mind because I know I'll miss my curls
Just found your channel as a recommendation from the coal life and I am so grateful for the reference! Girl your head is all the way bad - your sense of humor is refreshing, clean, appropriate. Thank you so very much. This video is perfect, you are absolutely right I am a very new natural as of August 10th of this year and this thing ain't no joke. I went natural because I had some Life Changes, stress from a divorce and going through the menopause then my hair out significantly. I love the thickness of my hair however I was not fully aware that I was a 4C before I made the decision😜, can the Church Say Amen????. Nonetheless I push forward with wonderful advice and support from your great videos. Keep up the good work!
Loved ur video! All true, and to the point! I've had long thick hair my whole life! Pressed,dyed, and flatironed! Well I've had it! I like being natrual, just don't really know what the hell to do with it! Very beautiful black woman. Ur skintone is so pretty and smooth! Thanks for the info!
Girl...you are halirious... everything you said is so true...as you said... point...blank... period.... I love watching your videos because you make them fun, I can tell that's just your personality.... keep the information flowing the way you do it.👍
Lmao Janae girl that big chop thing still laugh even now I took that scissors to my hair myself it was so bad when I went to the barber he literally had to cut off everything that was left. No one told me it wasn't going to be curly like my mom and sister hair. Oh you forgot to mention kinky and coily. Lol. But I wouldn't change going natural for the world. Even on days when I want to cry because my style ain't turn out right.
Girl Girl Girl This Whole Video Was For Me!!! 😂😔 I'm just at the point now where if I find a product or products that work for my hair I try my best to stick to it. b/c natural hair products can surely get expensive. And if I feel a perm in my spirit I just politely blow out my hair and flat iron it and pray it doesn't turn back into a puff by the end of the day😂😩 just keep a sista in prayer lol
If only I knew all of this before going natural lol. I am 2 years in and I'm like, yes GURRRLL this is me (still can't get rid of my products LMBO!!) Great video!!
Nobody told me I needed to have serious biceps to fool w/ my hair...
beau knows88 Man, too true 😂😂😂

Nothing, but the truth 😂
No one told me that wash day is literally a full day of work... I wasn’t ready!!!

All day!! Totally unnecessary and unacceptable!!
You literally have to wash condition and put some oil lol, and you are fine
Brittany Danielle 🤣🤣🤣

OMG THANK YOU. Listen move before I cut your hand.

In my case... three textures, three densities and approx three strand thicknesses....

Nobody told me that after my hair got a certain length that I would become lazier with my hair and do the simplest of styles.
The accuracy!!! I swear when my hair was short I did all the styles. Hunny soon as it reached my shoulders it was "ah well, puff it is" lol
Lol girl...... The struggle is real.....

Have you tried using Hicks edges or Murray's edge wax?
Jessica Williams that edge wax is everything
Crème of Nature edge control is the only thing that works for me. But doesn't hold all day long
No one told me that natural hair products were so dang expensive! Or that detangling is just a replacement for arm day. Or that it takes 2-3 days for my hair to dry 🤦🏽♀️ I wouldn’t change my decision for anything though❤️
No one told me that 90% of styling your hair would be just detailing! No one told me that fairy knots will be the BANE of my existence!!
Fairy knots make me want to throw hands for real!!
I feel you with the fairy knits but focus more on protective styles to help lessen the knots.
Omg...yes! Makes me not want to wear it curly!
🤣🤣
Girrrrll, spending all this money!🙋🏽♀️ I felt that, I just spent $44 at Sally Beauty! That’s every two weeks-they know me by name now. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Deja Lott same. I just restocked yesterday 😭😭

I don’t believe it. This feels like a set up at this point lol
I Love my Hair💜

Naturally Kool okay. Go back to what momma and neem did. 😂
Omg yassss! I seriously have been natural for 4 years and never heard of the rice or onion water rinse like what
Naturally Kool Thank you!!!! I've been natural for five years and sometimes some of these folks make it harder than it needs to be!!!
Deidra Everett Bless you. If your mama didn't do it, you don't do It!!
Naturally Kool no one NEEDS that. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Gurl! This video needs to be played at every natural hair conference, soooooooo many truths. Always funny gurl 😂😂

No 1 told me you still need to use your blow dryer to stretch it sometimes only to go outside and its shrinking anyway. I use the same products that work 4 me. I'm over the new products
Nobody told me I'd have to buy different types of comb: wide-tooth comb, fine-tooth comb, pocket comb...
bonnet, silk/satin scarfs, dc with heat, loc/lco....we need a college course, lol.. thanks for the video
I can identify with everything you said. The natural hair life has highs and lows but the highs are definitely worth it! xx
No one told me bout shrinkage but now I got like 95% shrinkage with my 4c hairrrrrrrrr
fr my armpit length hair be looking like a TWA after washing
I no longer DIY stuff, or put food in my hair. Too many times got caught with those banana chunks in my hair, even when mixed *right* there would always be chunks in there. LOL Just my luck.
Marleen G. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel you. I never did the "make my own product" thing!! Some of us have jobs!!!
Marleen G. And food particles arent small enough to penetrate the hair strand 😂
Right! I can't afford a grocery bill for my family AND my hair...
Marleen G. Girl the avocado used to get me lol. Stands in my strands.
Empress Afro Puffs 😂😂😂🤣🤣
“No one told me that I didn’t have to big chop” 😔Girl, I felt that. Nobody told me about transitioning. All I knew was I didn’t want a perm no more
Myaboo that’s f*cked up 😂
Nobody told me before going natural that I would actually go to sleep with the dryer cap on in order to pull my style off that I have spent 3 hours putting together!!😆😆

Preach sista! That spoke to my soul! These unwritten and unspoken rules of being natural 😂
LOL at baby knot out, yes girl need a natural hair glossary to understand all the terms. You ain't never lied
Nobody told me Sallys coupons would have me like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and his golden ticket 😂
Pastor Mason preaching for the natural hair community! My hair stay deceiving me and it’s a continuous learning process! Preach on sista 🙌🏾
I'm in the regret stage now Sis...big chopped 2 months ago and I'm tying to figure out why I do this to myself🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ felt this whole video
Terms like porosity, texture, curl patterns, density, fall and projection are cosmetology terms.
I just loved my new natural hair as my newborn.. and now it loves me back.

I’m just lovin this girl. Speak the truth sister . I’m feeling you.

“Say you love your hair”
😩🥺😢😌☺️
I’m still getting used to my natural hair
It’s a struggle but I’m not going to stop until I say it without choking up a little
Thank you sis
Yes girl ! Don't give up!!
I didn’t regret going natural I’m very happy about it. I enjoy doing my hair.
Heal-larious! (the honesty is therapeutic)!
Girlll!! Wys!! I didn't think the hair products would be so expensive and doing your hair would help you grow muscles!😂😂 It's alot of work!!!
No one told me that there were gels with enough hold to style my hair. It would have made my life so much easier. I'm basically a wash n go girl now.
Definitely had had the regret days!! I be like “maybe this wasn’t the move? 🤔” but I’m sticking with it after 3 years 🙌🏼
I really enjoyed this video!!! I was in tears laughing because I surely could relate to each and everyone on your conclusions when going natural. Surely needed to hear this as it confirmed all of my questions and concerns! LOVED IT! Love your energy! Thank you so much. I plan on visiting your website as well and no, I didn't know you had one. I have learned so much from your videos Especially doing perm rod sets. Much love and many blessings to you my melonated sista! Stay in peace. 💗
Honey thank you! I laughed from beginning to end! Every word spoken was the truth!!! "No one told me..."
Thank you 4 being straight up!!!
Great explanation. I wasn't too sure at the start but loved when you said you've got to learn to love💖 your hair. I learnt this about 2 years into my now 4 year journey.
I make my own products but this took a long time to perfect. I wanted to get away from the product junkie state of mind.
My struggles are that I have 2/3 distinct textures and porosity. Length at the back but not at the front. I have adapted my styling to deal with this. For example at the moment I have medium plaits at the front and 2 large flat twists at the back. I rarely wear my hair out but have become creative with my styling. I do think that naturals need to realise that it won't be easy to maintain natural hair but they should learn to love what they've got. We are all unique. I always say love your hair and it will love you back.
thank you for this, sometimes seeing people with hair as beautiful as yours can be discouraging
💀💀💀 @ “you gonna get a whooping”! You are so funny 😂😂😂
Daye La Soul lmbo and I meant it too
Everything you said is right on point. Especially the part about natural hair taking all day. Lol 😂
I loved this video 😂 😂 😂. It’s 2021 but,
the struggle is real! Still happy to be NATURAL!
Your energy is just.. 👏 per-👏-fec-👏-tion !
Sis. This video should be required viewing to every potential new natural!
I love you curlfriend you kept it 200% real. Thanks so much for making this vid. I relate to all of it. 👏👐
You spoke straight FACTS SIS !! they done lied to ppl talking about being natural is easy ! THE LIES THE LIES THE LIES. The moments on wanting to get that box relaxer and slap in my head comes when I walk outside and the humidity break dances on my roots ! Ohhhh and the real moments of truly loving yourself is so REAL !
Omggggg I missed half of wht she said because I was laughing so dam hard🤣 dnt worry girl I'm a junkie to.keep them coming plz!!!
People need to know that they need to put time and effort into learning about what works and doesn’t work for their hair!
This is my first video, I've watched of yours. I just love your personality, and vibes. I love my natural hair, even tho it's so challenging.
You are so right. I used to watch Chime (Haircrush) when I was transitioning. She would spray glycerin into her hair often. And she lived down south! My hair does not keep definition with humidity and glycerin around. You live and you learn.
Good stuff. This is so true. I’ve never heard of porosity before going natural. I am a product junkie! I have so much stuff. I have a whole linen closet full of products. I changed my linen closet into my hair products closet! Lol
BULLSEYE with this entire video! I really hope the that someone who is thinking about going natural come across this video. This will definitely point them in the right direction. Embracing and loving our hair is a must! Tfs. God bless!
I get some of the best natural hair advice from your channel. This week I did a flexirod set and I remembered your tip to two strand twist each section at the root so my curls don't shrink up to my scalp with no hang time looking like a 2nd grader on picture day.
Everything she said in this video is so true! Every week I find myself asking why did I go natural? I also say let me go to this dollar store and get this relaxer kit. Then I change my mind because I know I'll miss my curls
And yes, I transitioned out!! I couldn't do the bald head thing!!
Okay sis I see that Mielle twist cream that junk making my transition so much easier
Omg I love this video! I’ve been really thinking about going natural so I appreciate this!
I love your video! Full so much joy, humor and truth. Thank you.
Just found your channel as a recommendation from the coal life and I am so grateful for the reference! Girl your head is all the way bad - your sense of humor is refreshing, clean, appropriate. Thank you so very much. This video is perfect, you are absolutely right I am a very new natural as of August 10th of this year and this thing ain't no joke. I went natural because I had some Life Changes, stress from a divorce and going through the menopause then my hair out significantly. I love the thickness of my hair however I was not fully aware that I was a 4C before I made the decision😜, can the Church Say Amen????.
Nonetheless I push forward with wonderful advice and support from your great videos. Keep up the good work!
Love this video! No one told me that your scalp would be super sensitive or how your texture would change ..
Definitely enjoying your personality, humor & realness. Been natural for over a decade and can relate to a lot of the struggles you mentioned.
Loved ur video! All true, and to the point! I've had long thick hair my whole life! Pressed,dyed, and flatironed! Well I've had it! I like being natrual, just don't really know what the hell to do with it! Very beautiful black woman. Ur skintone is so pretty and smooth! Thanks for the info!
Shrinkage is real!!! My shrinks up to my eyes too!! And yes perms sometimes tempt me!!
Point blank to the period! I'm gonna use that in the same tone u did
Omgoodness gurl...u telling me. Humidity it was raining for a week here and I had just did my wash n go. And yea some days a relaxer be looking good 😄
Girl...you are halirious... everything you said is so true...as you said... point...blank... period.... I love watching your videos because you make them fun, I can tell that's just your personality.... keep the information flowing the way you do it.👍
I've never thought about going to relaxed... a puff will save the day.
You Are SOOOOO awesome!! This video is so funny but also very true!! Thanks for sharing!! ☺️
Lmao Janae girl that big chop thing still laugh even now I took that scissors to my hair myself it was so bad when I went to the barber he literally had to cut off everything that was left. No one told me it wasn't going to be curly like my mom and sister hair. Oh you forgot to mention kinky and coily. Lol. But I wouldn't change going natural for the world. Even on days when I want to cry because my style ain't turn out right.
Yes girl!!! No one told me I would become a whole hair scientist with 3 different types in my head... Love your channel and your realness!
Girl Girl Girl This Whole Video Was For Me!!! 😂😔 I'm just at the point now where if I find a product or products that work for my hair I try my best to stick to it. b/c natural hair products can surely get expensive. And if I feel a perm in my spirit I just politely blow out my hair and flat iron it and pray it doesn't turn back into a puff by the end of the day😂😩 just keep a sista in prayer lol
OMG! I agree completely! Nobody told me that this much work was involved!🤔
I feel like God us on my side with my hair, I'm about to big chop and all these youtubers are uploading videos about natural hair. I'm so lucky😊😊
If only I knew all of this before going natural lol. I am 2 years in and I'm like, yes GURRRLL this is me (still can't get rid of my products LMBO!!) Great video!!
