    I have nothing but love for girls who make these videos, but there are definitely stereotypes and traps we all fall into when talking about our hair. There has to be a more entertaining way to do it! So I present to you: the reasons I don't do natural hair videos in the way you'd expect.

    What happened to the countless wig reviews, the redundant hairstyles(how I so my twist out #12) the no heat scaredy cat naturals(i.e. here's how I straighten my natural hair...first I set my flat iron to 12 degrees and then I'm totally shocked that my hair looks like dry tumbleweed)...part 2? Lol

      this video is great.

    • @pixigirl999
      @pixigirl999 10 років тому +99

      And then they try to play if off with the same old "I wasn't trying to get my hair bone straight" spiel. I'm thinking "oh really? Then why did you just pass that flat iron through you hair 11 times" I can't. I just can't.

    • @chitonelle7531
      @chitonelle7531 10 років тому +6

      Funniest comment ever. lol. I am literally crying! 12 degrees!!! lol.

  • @jbillheimer18
    @jbillheimer18 10 років тому +113

    "Here's thirty seconds self indulgent hair angles."
    Exactly why I can't watch most these natural "gurus". I cringe every single time I see them fake laugh while running their hands through their hair or dramatically flip their hair before intensely staring into the camera. It is just soooooo uncomfortable to watch. I'm just like- girl, stop trying to be cute and tell me about this twist out.

    • @dionneminus4126
      @dionneminus4126 7 років тому +4

      J Billheimer I know this is old but I lost it at "tell me about this twist out"

  • @sanyulovergal
    @sanyulovergal 10 років тому +36

    this would be even more realistic if this video was AT LEAST 13 minutes including all the sped up footage

  • @gingerlillys
    @gingerlillys 10 років тому +66

    As someone who has watched at least 1000+ hair videos, you are correct.

  • @LilyMeadeBooks
    @LilyMeadeBooks 9 років тому +75

    YES, especially on the completely misleading products. It's like a natural hair rite of passage to go through at least a dozen of those before something much cheaper and easier finally reveals itself to you.

    • @KettiexD
      @KettiexD 9 років тому +3

      truuu. coconut oil and shea butter is all I need, but I only know this after going through the entire shea moisture line haha

    • @jonimpialu6457
      @jonimpialu6457 9 років тому +1

      KettiexD why didn't it work for your hair. I just recently bought some products from that line because it was recommended to me, but I'm already feeling like I made a mistake and I've only washed my hair and conditioned it. Plus the conditioner smelled like it had perfume in it, like something from Victoria's Secret, so I'm already feeling bad about it.

    • @KettiexD
      @KettiexD 9 років тому +5

      Keira Mpialumata I'm not saying it didn't work for my hair lol it worked just fine. It was really expensive though and I've found that coconut oil (or extra virgin olive oil) and shea butter (or cocoa butter) work just fine and they're cheaper, so I'm sticking with them now. Shea Moisture is fine and probably higher in quality. I'm just not tryna be broke all the time lol

  • @JJoelle
    @JJoelle 10 років тому +199

    Bahahahaha you're so RUDE. This is so Hilarious and Real. I'm dying laughing. I HATE it when a watch someone "doing" something that I know good and GOT DAMN well that they're NOT doing. Sorry for all of the words in all caps but I'm laughing so hard. I hope you have hair and I hope you like it. You're so funny.

    • @AkilahObviously
      @AkilahObviously  10 років тому +112

      Thanks for getting me! Hahahah, I just feel like every natural hair video should have a disclaimer that is like, "guess what we all have different hair, choose your own path stop listening to me"

  • @tamikachu6799

  • @millyocean2012
    @millyocean2012 9 років тому +30

    I know this video is hella old, but what about the 50 different videos of the EXACT SAME HAIRSTYLE?!?! How many ways can you do a twist-out?

  • @courtneybell3961
    @courtneybell3961 7 років тому +56

    Yes! The "updated flat iron" videos or "watch my hair revert" videos kill me! "Watch this 20 minute video of me putting water on my hair." Dafuq.

  • @JulesStylesHey

  • @MADPunkyHeartLESS
    @MADPunkyHeartLESS 8 років тому +9

    I never liked a video fast enough! Hahahaha, this is so true! I'm glad someone made a video like this! I enjoy watching natural hair videos but some of them are so cliche and annoying sometimes. I especially hate it when the girls do poses, blow kisses, and try to act cute for the camera. Like, I don't watch those videos to see them be cute, I watch them to see how they do their hair and maybe even learn something. I'm always like "Just get to the point!"

  • @TamaraWoods

  • @melharper887
    @melharper887 10 років тому +1

    This. Video. IS EVERYTHING! Though hair tutorials come in handy sometimes, like before a formal event (don't stop doing what you do, hair UA-camrs--it's all in fun).
    I love how you kept your commentary light & positive. Mine would have gone to my pet peeves like being obsessed with "curl definition," which basically means you hate your hair texture and "shrinkage" which means you have a long hair complex. But yeah, this was hilarious!

  • @dznutz217
    @dznutz217 10 років тому

    I love it. My wife went natural at the beginning of the year and she is always watching these videos. I'll check em out every now and then and I have to say you nailed it on every one of them. I'm cracking up. Awesome job.

  • @kiwthebeauty
    @kiwthebeauty 9 років тому +3

    Miss Carols! Omg how clever is that! I love your satire humor I get you...I am not a hair guru at all, although everyone thinks I am because of my hair endorsement and if course my big curly hair! Thank you thank you because this is how I feel lately. They are all becoming the same. Be you and I love your hair btw!

  • @brandijacksonwellness

    I've seen many videos/tutorials for natural and relaxed hair, and so many of the women act this way, with the added sounds of lip smacking and beeping smoke detectors. LOL!
    Off to view more of your videos. :)

    best hair video ever. love it. keep talking to to those people off camera! Of the reverse side it really weirds me out when clearly someone else is holding the camera and they are never acknowledged. I just feel that on youtube people should introduce all the people that help make a video. Keep on keeping on Tim!
