I will never understand how strangers online can try to tell someone they don't know what they do to their hair/body etc. Do you live in her house to know what she's done? Then how can you be so confident in telling her that she's lying about her hair texture? Ridiculous
And THIS is why I follow you! I live for simple ways to enhance my natural beauty. You give that with easy and simple make up and hair tutorials. You are my go-to-girl for that fresh face/hair look. Yes you spoke some truths! It’s so rare and refreshing to see a black woman fully embrace her natural beauty without extending body parts or features. We are beautiful in our natural state, but told otherwise so we may be pimped as consumers. BTW… motherhood and maturity is working for you! You are looking more beautiful now than when I started following you about 5yrs ago. Say blessed sis!! Hugs and kisses 🤗😚❤
As an elder, this as a beautiful very needed post. I appreciate you and love that you are raising your girls in this amazingly powerful light of self acceptance! You are stunning and I agree with your position on not hair typing, it's just a new way of identifying "good hair and bad hair". Stay well and I'm praying for the safe delivery of your new princess.
My big chop is growing and I almost permed it out of desperation thinking maybe it would be okay because it can just grow out..glad I saw this..because I didn’t really want to do it 😩❤️
Thank you for your honesty, Rissa, and for opening up and sharing your heart. I used to have very thick, coarse hair, but after going through breast cancer, chemo and radiation, I don't know how to treat my hair anymore. You talked about your curl pattern. Mine has totally changed since I lost it all and it grew back. It's very soft, and I haven't figured out the curl pattern yet. Today I came on to UA-cam because I wanted to see what people were using for their TWA's these days. Mine is several shades of gray, and several different textures throughout. I can't get a shine on my gray hair and that's frustrating. I will check out the Curldaze Gel tomorrow and see how that works. Nothing that I used before the chemo (hair products) works for me anymore because my curl pattern has changed so I'm still trying to "find myself" as they say. Thank you for your wisdom and for being you!
Miss Wanda, I hope you are doing well. I had a similar experience. I went through radiation treatment and a lot of my hair came out. When it grew back the texture of my hair was different. Now it's sooo much kinkier and coarse than it used to be. I'm struggling to take care of it now. I guess I'm going to have to learn.*ugh* #StrangerHair
I seen 444 yesterday and saw your video today , I needed this message , It feel good to see other women out here loving themselves and setting up beauty standards for themselves instead of following the beauty standards of the world. Sending positive vibes to all of my natural women all over the world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love what you said about our hair type! I hate referring to our hair as good hair or nappy hair which carries a negative connotation. God made us so it’s all good. Btw, you are so beautiful ❤
Hey Girl Hey, God is so good. I recently big chopped again and after doing so I realized that I don’t like myself with short hair . However, I know realize that it’s from the negative comments that I received from 12 years ago when I big chopped before the natural hair movement took off. So with that being said, I love watching ur videos and seeing you with your short hair and looking beautiful. This truly has inspired me. I do plan on growing my hair back out. But, I’m not going to hide my God given hair under a wig while do so. Now I will occasionally rock a scarf bc I love the look but I’m not going to hide the women that God has created me to be. Thanks for the reminder Lil Sis and blessings and more blessings your way. 😊🥰
I was supposed to see this today because I struggle with my self-omage most of my life. I am in my 70th season on this earth. I want to embrace my natural hair, but it's always DRY. Products with alcohol makes it worse. Anyway, thank you for the tutorial and conversation. I truly feel I will be successful on both journeys. God will always cover you sweetheart.❤
Rissa, this video speaks so much truth. From the stigma we grew up hearing about good vs bad hair. Took me a long time to figure out that all hair is beautiful and not everyone has the same “curl pattern” or type “a, b or c” hair. To this day I don’t know what type hair I have and I’m okay with that. My only issue is that I can’t seem to find the right products to enhance my curls (hair care junkie). So for now I just wear protected styles which suits my lifestyle perfectly as I workout 🏋️♀️ a lot. Thank you for talking about this. Moms please teach your children better. ❤❤❤
16:34 I felt this! I’m always cutting my hair too. I hate dealing with it, but this last chop as been great. Easy maintenance and it has been liberating. Thank you for this video 🙏🏾
I am so glad that I watched this video!! Everything you said truly resonated with me. I have been going back and forth trying to decide whether, or not to continue my short hair journey. And it boils down to allowing society, or people I know to dictate how I feel about myself based on my short hair. Unfortunately women can be mean to each other especially black women. I recently received a comment from a woman I know who said to me jokingly. "Why do you look like a dude?! I was not wearing makeup, and I had on a hoodie, and joggers with my short hair. I laughed it off but I thought to myself what is wrong with the way I look?! That day I was feeling so confident with my appearance I felt really cute, and happy with my hair. But what she said hurt me, and it made me feel less confident about myself. We have to be so careful with our words even when we think we are just kidding to the person hearing those words it may not be so funny. I just really want to thank you for sharing this video for one it helped me to realize that I am not the only one, and it also made me realize that I will never again let ANYBODY steal my joy, or my confidence!! Thank you for this video please do more like this. God bless you. ❤🙏🏼
Michelle, you are BEAUTIFUL just the way you are!!! Don’t let anyone convince you into believing the lie that you aren’t! I agree…words CAN hurt. Out of our mouths comes life or death - blessing or cursing. There’s no in between! Our words don’t know when we’re joking or when we’re serious so they’ll plant seeds either way. I’m sorry she hurt you by that comment but please don’t believe the lie! Also…girl it’s ok to change your mind about your hair! But like you said, it all boils down to not allowing society or anyone make you feel a certain kind of way about YOUR decision. Follow your heart and most importantly…follow the Holy Spirit! I’m rooting for you 💕
@@LorissaNelson Thank you so much for your kind words it means alot to me. You are absolutely right. I am confident in who I am what I do with my hair will not be determined by someone else. Thank you so much for responding I really appreciate your encouraging words. ❤
@Michelle Fambrough, Sweetie I’m looking at this picture of you, and your beautiful. It sounds as if she was hating, and trying to bring you down, or projecting her insecurities. If someone else ever says somethings so hateful to you again, tell them I think I look hot, or the men like it. That will shut them down. Blessings gorgeous
@@lucyscott8796 Wow thank you I didn't think about it that way but your right. Thank you so much for your advice and your kind words. I really appreciate it. It feels so good to know that there are women who can lift each other up instead of tearing each other down. Thank you again it means alot. ❤
I love love love your energy. You’re speaking so much truth. We need to embrace our natural beauty and not worry about how people see us. Keep doing what you do.
Wow, Lorissa!!! I consider you my virtual friend and as a woman of God, this video was such a blessing to me ❤️ 💙 💜 I KNOW you are speaking the whole truth!!!! Hair typing etc shouldn't matter, like you said, God gave everyone "Good Hair". Thank you for using your voice to be a blessing!!! And mean girl energy thrown your way is covered by God's grace and has no place on your channel ✨️ Speak the truth proudly and allow God to continue to minister through you!!! Happy Thanksgiving 😊
Your hair is beautiful. It is definitely true that beauty radiates from the inside out. I don't understand why with all we have been thru the past 2 years or so, we are still "mean girl" hating on each other. I am not super confident in doing my hair (never have been, hair has always been my Achilles heel). I love learning from people like you whose hair I admire. I think at different points, we like to look different ways. Sometimes I like to be all glammed up and sometimes I like to be completely natural...what's wrong with just celebrating who we are at whatever stage. That's one reason I love coming to your channel, you give us a little bit of everything. The one consistent thing that never wavers is your belief and trust in God. Keep doing you! Block the haters, you don't need the stress. Pray you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy the rest of the holiday season. Also, February will be here before you know it. How are you guys going to ever pick another name as perfect as Elora? Her name is the perfect combination of both of your names. And to top it off, she is such a beautiful little girl...her spirit radiates from the inside. Love and Blessings!💕
Thank you speaking on washing more! The scalp pain hurts! My hair likes to get hydrated via water, so shampooing about every 3-4 days works for my hair. And my hair is in better condition when I stick to this. Also, ordering that gel!
Thank you. I'm wearing a TWA. Trying to do and wear curls. I had no idea how and what product will work. I don't like anything on my head either. I tried and worn wigs and weaves for a long time. I'm gonna try...!
I came to this video for some hair tips and I left with such great advice about life (and also great hair tips). So inspired by the way you carry yourself. Looking forward to more vids!❤️
You saved me!!! I was ready to give up. Then i found your video! I used the curldaze gel. My hair took to it better than ALL of the other products i've used. And there have been MANY. It defines my curls beautifully! I love my hair again. So fast. So easy. THANK YOU!
I am so proud of you and how you have progressed with time. Thank you for all the assistance you offer to all women whether they accept it or not! Thanks, and continue the journey!
Thank you for the one product for curl definition styljng. I'm new to wearing my hair natural, I've worn locs since 2013. I took them down in 2023, 10 years is the longest I ever stuck with one style, but locs are so versatile. It's more like locs are my hair and I styled my locs(hair). I could ware them straight, updo, ponytail and I could wear a ponytail or an updo10 different ways. For a year I feel like all I've done us buy product and they are accumulating in my cabinet to the point I had to buy one of those wheeled carts for storage. Also, I don't know what type of hair I have either, but I know it's about 3 types. My sides and front top of my head is in type, my crown and the top of the back of my head is another type and finally the back is yet another. So, when people start talking about type of hair, they lose me because I'm a 69 yo and I don't have time to waste on that conversation. I want something that's quick and sensible that my arthritic fingers can handle. Finally, I'm glad to hear you talk about "real beauty" is internal, I believe most good things originate internally like joy and every aspect of the fruit of the spirit such as love, kindness, self control and goodness. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and your faith, and thank you for caring enough to do so. I'm going to bite the bullet and try yet another product and pray it accomplishes what I need. Either way that is the last new product I'll endeavor until my hair product cart is empty or I'm home, whichever comes first bc life's too short. 😊💯😆
I always find this video somehow when I’m struggling with self acceptance … struggling to love my hair. Thank You for sharing ❤ We are made in HIS image and we ARE beautifully and wonderfully made ❤ Thanks for the reminder !
I love your videos. I always used the products that you recommend. The information that you stated to our young ladies “accept the beauty “that God has given to each one of us.
Hello I would like to just say thanks for posting this video. This is for me. I'm a older lady and I have been wearing my hair natural for about 10 years now. I love it . I'm not a hat or wig person. I will only wear a hat to keep the cold/heat off my head. Over the years I have tried several products and they all flake my hair. Sometime I just wash and put olive oil and go on about my business. I will try the products you have listed below. Again thanks for this video. Continue to do you and may God continue to bless you,
Keep being your authentic self; it is so refreshing to see! "Mean" girls will never understand your shine or the Favor that's on your life---they can't reap what they have not sown. I pray God broadens your territory.
Just wanted to let you know that I couldn't find the gel anywhere, but I sure appreciate your video. I took my time with and styled my hair as you did with the product I'm using. SO pleased!!!! This video was also so relaxing to me. Enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you. I'm closing out the year with HAPPY HAIR.
I agree with you about washing more frequently. My hair is always healthier when I wash it more often. I know that tends to be a hot take in the hair community for whatever reason but for me I go by how my hair feels and the breakage is at a minimum when I am washing it 2x weekly. I have very very very thick hair and if it is not regularly moisturized, it will break.
Thank you I'm learning something new each time I watch you I'm not so afraid to try something new if it works for me great if not move on to something else
At church right about here (23:40) is when I would have started playing some alter call music. ❤ This was very sweet, and I'm right there with you. One day I had the same conversation with myself in the mirror. I am struggling and several times this past month I contemplated relaxing my hair again. I just binged watched some twa 4c hairstyling videos and when I got to your video I was pretty much done, but I stayed to do my finishing touches while listening and watching your video in the background, and I resonated with literally everything you were saying. Maybe God allowed for me to see this because he knows my heart's desire is to love me (and my hair) as he made ME (and my hair). God bless you sweetheart, you're so beautiful and feminine inside and out. This video was straight up MINISTRY! keep on allowing God to speak through you. There was healing in everything you said❤🎉 Thank you 🎉❤
My hair textures look similar to yours and I would also say the arrangement of the tighter curls are on my sides and the looser ones are more mohawk style in my hair. Like you said we are all different and even throughout our lives, things change. My hair texture has changed to become looser as I've gotten older due to hormones and scalp conditions. People always want to pigeonhole and we don't fit into neat little boxes as humans. ❤
Aww thank you for this beautiful message 🤗 Right now I'm struggling with wondering how I'd look after cutting my hair and your words have helped. You also made the technique of styling look so much easier and a lot less frightening 😩 I had a twa 15 years ago and it was a nightmare to manage. It would go down on my head like a mat when i wake in the morning, always tangle and was super hard to comb out even with hair softener 😢 I could only manage it with roller setting. Now I'm a lot less scared to try again because with time, local beauty stores now have more products available and I'll definitely try this technique after I cut my locs 🙏
Have you tried SheaMoisture Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream….has Coconut & Hibiscus. Works for me without all the shine. Love your message and the way you project yourself.
Don’t worry about the mean girl vibes, just do your thing. People sought out advice, so you give it to them based on your experience and hair; they can take it or leave it. I have watched three of your videos and understand your hair typing thoughts. I cut my hair back in the 90’s for the relaxed Halle Berry short bob and my beautician told me I had three or four grades of hair. I was never great with doing my hair and before the bob, I just wrapped it up in a French roll. In 2002, I went completely natural because I started going to the pool 2-3 times a week and wanted a wash and go hairstyle. That, and because I don’t like to do much…I am a bit lazy. I was looking for a modified version of my current haircut, and your style and advice on simplicity fits the bill. I doubt if I will go through the gelling of the hair, but will save that option for special occasions as I like the look. You have given me ideas on various products and simplicity so thank you for an informative video.
Always loved your hair styles. After about 15 years of holding on to what I think is long damaged hair, you are making me want to do the big chop! What lip gloss are you wearing? Pretty natural color.
ooohhhh lawd. I use a silk pillowcase as well. I don't like sleeping on a bonnet either. I also change it my pillowcases once a week as well. I'm also at a point where I don't want alot of products in my hair either. I want a real wash and go, wash, product, dry and go.
I'm new to your channel, and your makeup video popped up in my feed. OMG, I love your channel. I've been watching for the past two days. I love your honest, laid-back vibe. I barely subscribe to anyone but you have won me over. Keep being you. And your videos I learn easy to do step-by-step instructions. Love it, keep pushing wonderful content.
Girl this is cuteeee! I have to try this gel. If the argan oil Eco styler gives me this same curl maybe this one will too! And I have thick ninja hair ok! Lol
Hi Lorissa, new subbie here. Your hair is gorgeous. I ordered the Curldaze and will let you know the results. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings...🙏🏾💚👑😘
You really went high on this post! I’m glad to be at an age were I realize ever comments doesn’t deserve a response from me. I will agree, products don’t give us anything it enhances what God has already given us. When I was younger and before I did the clip I always got asked what did I use on my hair to give it bounce/body. When I released my hair from gels and heavy hydration products to make it stay in placed; it moved. Keep being who God created you to be!
Thanks so much for all your advice. I love my hair and natural too. Cut my hair in the 90's for health reasons at the time. But once I went and natural that was it. I've used and tried many Gels.. My hair will curl with water also, but sometimes I like to add a little gel to make it last are curl tighter. I been using S'Curl products. But for more natural I will try this product. It works quickly I see too. Let you know later. 👍🏽🙂
Thank you so much for this video, lovin how God made you. I was wearing wigs because I didn't like my hair, but this year I threw them away because I am made in God image and he made as the word fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank you so much I am on the natural journey as well
Loved the video! Love the curls and those earrings. I definitely plan on looking into order new jewelry through your suggested online store. You don't have to explain your hair pattern to anyone!
Looks like the gel does not make your hair dry like some gels. Please confirm. Your hair is the opposite of mine. My hair is straighter at the top, more curly on the sides and tighter in the back. I cut my locs two years ago for the third time, so I have been natural since 1997-98. I love it. Thank you for the instructional video.
You tutorials are excellent. This is my personal opinion. Make sure you read up on what products are used in braids. I am from the old school and I wish I had listened to my mom about putting a relaxer in my hair. She was a cosmetologist that did not rally the relaxer trend. I am 75 and it is a struggle for me that I have finally let the relaxer grow out. How I wish I had listened. Obedience is golden. I will try your method with one product because I had worn my hair short for over fifty-seven years. Continue to do what work best for you. We are all of God's children with different talents. Peace, Love, and Happiness. 🎉
I completely understand everything you're saying about people questioning your curl pattern...I that all of the time because my entire texture is the same as your sides and I only use water and a gel (luster's short look) to define my curls.
Sis, another great video. Im so sick of people. IT’S YOUR CHANNEL! How can someone tell you ABOUT YOU! They don’t know you. They can’t feel your hair. Some people eyes look almost black. You get close they are brown. CONTINUE WITH YOUR GREATNESS! OG IN THE HOUSE! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Funny enough when I started washing my hair when I was relaxed weekly it definitely was fantastic! But now without relaxer and kids the washing isn't happening as much. But I think co washing can happen daily or every other day.
Mrs. L. I also agree the better the stylish the better the hair wil look, etc. & thT makes sense about Everything the more u know & how to apply brings about success! Why we are criticized for knowing what, we know for sure. Etc on this u-tube platform is Madness!all who dare have a channel is BRAVE to do so!what get"s me if u don't agree or like a person's channel why watch!? Everyone has a God given right to their experiences , thoughts, belief etc. Of course! But their are people on this platform such as your self who do know what they have experience & know what they are talking, doing! P.S.u can wear those short hair styles as my girl Anita Baker! grace to all gh
I Love the hair video,, I just started using curldaze gel but I am not getting the same result as you because my hair is not curling like yours so could it be because my hair is longer and when it dries it is very dry. I have tried so many different hair products and none seem to work so if you have any suggestions please let a sistah know...Thank you.
I will never understand how strangers online can try to tell someone they don't know what they do to their hair/body etc. Do you live in her house to know what she's done? Then how can you be so confident in telling her that she's lying about her hair texture? Ridiculous
Facts! All hair textures are not the same and if this works for her, who's to say otherwise.
Well said.
Why did you watch her then?
Again, there are shortcomings in that person. This lady knows what she's talking about.
It's called jealousy sista
And THIS is why I follow you! I live for simple ways to enhance my natural beauty. You give that with easy and simple make up and hair tutorials. You are my go-to-girl for that fresh face/hair look.
Yes you spoke some truths! It’s so rare and refreshing to see a black woman fully embrace her natural beauty without extending body parts or features. We are beautiful in our natural state, but told otherwise so we may be pimped as consumers. BTW… motherhood and maturity is working for you!

Wow, this means so much! Thank you sis!! 💖

I had a similar experience.
I went through radiation treatment and a lot of my hair came out.
When it grew back the texture of my hair was different.
Now it's sooo much kinkier and coarse than it used to be.
I'm struggling to take care of it now. I guess I'm going to have to learn.*ugh* #StrangerHair

Thank you speaking on washing more! The scalp pain hurts! My hair likes to get hydrated via water, so shampooing about every 3-4 days works for my hair. And my hair is in better condition when I stick to this. Also, ordering that gel!
hmmm, i just cut my hair very short and have been using Mielle so i may try this next.
Thank you. I'm wearing a TWA. Trying to do and wear curls. I had no idea how and what product will work. I don't like anything on my head either. I tried and worn wigs and weaves for a long time. I'm gonna try...!
I came to this video for some hair tips and I left with such great advice about life (and also great hair tips). So inspired by the way you carry yourself. Looking forward to more vids!❤️
🥺 I’m so so glad you enjoyed! Welcome to the family 💖
Girl, are you here about selling people jewelry, or about The Curls????
Girl your hair is already curly by nature! For people with nappy, nappy hair, can't get their hair like yours.
Yeah! But all hair types cannot get the same results as you.
You saved me!!! I was ready to give up. Then i found your video! I used the curldaze gel. My hair took to it better than ALL of the other products i've used. And there have been MANY. It defines my curls beautifully! I love my hair again. So fast. So easy. THANK YOU!
Wow, I’m so glad! 🩷
I am so proud of you and how you have progressed with time. Thank you for all the assistance you offer to all women whether they accept it or not! Thanks, and continue the journey!
Thank you for the one product for curl definition styljng. I'm new to wearing my hair natural, I've worn locs since 2013. I took them down in 2023, 10 years is the longest I ever stuck with one style, but locs are so versatile. It's more like locs are my hair and I styled my locs(hair). I could ware them straight, updo, ponytail and I could wear a ponytail or an updo10 different ways.
For a year I feel like all I've done us buy product and they are accumulating in my cabinet to the point I had to buy one of those wheeled carts for storage.
Also, I don't know what type of hair I have either, but I know it's about 3 types. My sides and front top of my head is in type, my crown and the top of the back of my head is another type and finally the back is yet another. So, when people start talking about type of hair, they lose me because I'm a 69 yo and I don't have time to waste on that conversation. I want something that's quick and sensible that my arthritic fingers can handle.
Finally, I'm glad to hear you talk about "real beauty" is internal, I believe most good things originate internally like joy and every aspect of the fruit of the spirit such as love, kindness, self control and goodness. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and your faith, and thank you for caring enough to do so.
I'm going to bite the bullet and try yet another product and pray it accomplishes what I need. Either way that is the last new product I'll endeavor until my hair product cart is empty or I'm home, whichever comes first bc life's too short. 😊💯😆
What a beautiful girl....inside and out.
Just did the big chop yesterday and LOVING my natural curls,❤
Yes. True beauty, I love what I heard. I thank God for you. Keep it real all the time the way you do. Keep doing it.
I always find this video somehow when I’m struggling with self acceptance … struggling to love my hair. Thank You for sharing ❤ We are made in HIS image and we ARE beautifully and wonderfully made ❤ Thanks for the reminder !
💖💖💖
I love your videos. I always used the products that you recommend. The information that you stated to our young ladies “accept the beauty “that God has given to each one of us.
Healthy mindset about out hair is so important ❤ thank you❤❤❤ I love me because God made me 🌹
What a beautiful example of the blessed feminine! Keep sweet and keep being YOU! ❤
awww, I love your hair and your mindset! I'll be cutting my natural hair tomorrow just like yours and you're making me excited! Beautiful video!
Hello I would like to just say thanks for posting this video. This is for me. I'm a older lady and I have been wearing my hair natural for about 10 years now. I love it . I'm not a hat or wig person. I will only wear a hat to keep the cold/heat off my head. Over the years I have tried several products and they all flake my hair. Sometime I just wash and put olive oil and go on about my business. I will try the products you have listed below. Again thanks for this video. Continue to do you and may God continue to bless you,
Continue to be your beautiful honest self and whoever can't deal with it let them stay off your channel periodt!
Hello send me an email if interested in the ongoing Government Grants
I will have to try this product ....thanks for sharing ..I love the way your hair looks on you.
I 100% agree with you, whether your hair is natural or permed is hard to maintain it is what works for you.
Blessings to you and your beautiful family! You’re a very beautiful women inside and out and I thank you for your videos and your good energy ❤
Thank you for the natural hair information! I agree 👍 with you in so many ways!
Keep being your authentic self; it is so refreshing to see! "Mean" girls will never understand your shine or the Favor that's on your life---they can't reap what they have not sown. I pray God broadens your territory.
Just wanted to let you know that I couldn't find the gel anywhere, but I sure appreciate your video. I took my time with and styled my hair as you did with the product I'm using. SO pleased!!!! This video was also so relaxing to me. Enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you. I'm closing out the year with HAPPY HAIR.
Great convo, love your hair, I’m natural as well and always get asked about my short curly hair
I agree with you about washing more frequently. My hair is always healthier when I wash it more often. I know that tends to be a hot take in the hair community for whatever reason but for me I go by how my hair feels and the breakage is at a minimum when I am washing it 2x weekly. I have very very very thick hair and if it is not regularly moisturized, it will break.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Will try the gel. Thanks
Thank you I'm learning something new each time I watch you I'm not so afraid to try something new if it works for me great if not move on to something else
I love you for being so straight forward
I love your deliverance!! Keep up the excellent work 🎉
At church right about here (23:40) is when I would have started playing some alter call music. ❤ This was very sweet, and I'm right there with you. One day I had the same conversation with myself in the mirror.
I am struggling and several times this past month I contemplated relaxing my hair again. I just binged watched some twa 4c hairstyling videos and when I got to your video I was pretty much done, but I stayed to do my finishing touches while listening and watching your video in the background, and I resonated with literally everything you were saying. Maybe God allowed for me to see this because he knows my heart's desire is to love me (and my hair) as he made ME (and my hair).
God bless you sweetheart, you're so beautiful and feminine inside and out. This video was straight up MINISTRY! keep on allowing God to speak through you. There was healing in everything you said❤🎉 Thank you 🎉❤
I really appreciate your experience 👍👍👍
I love your positive energy ❤️❤️❤️
My hair textures look similar to yours and I would also say the arrangement of the tighter curls are on my sides and the looser ones are more mohawk style in my hair. Like you said we are all different and even throughout our lives, things change. My hair texture has changed to become looser as I've gotten older due to hormones and scalp conditions. People always want to pigeonhole and we don't fit into neat little boxes as humans. ❤
Aww thank you for this beautiful message 🤗 Right now I'm struggling with wondering how I'd look after cutting my hair and your words have helped.
You also made the technique of styling look so much easier and a lot less frightening 😩 I had a twa 15 years ago and it was a nightmare to manage. It would go down on my head like a mat when i wake in the morning, always tangle and was super hard to comb out even with hair softener 😢 I could only manage it with roller setting. Now I'm a lot less scared to try again because with time, local beauty stores now have more products available and I'll definitely try this technique after I cut my locs 🙏
Have you tried SheaMoisture Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream….has Coconut & Hibiscus. Works for me without all the shine. Love your message and the way you project yourself.
Love, love this video!! It had helped me more than any. Thanks for sharing!!!
Don’t worry about the mean girl vibes, just do your thing. People sought out advice, so you give it to them based on your experience and hair; they can take it or leave it. I have watched three of your videos and understand your hair typing thoughts. I cut my hair back in the 90’s for the relaxed Halle Berry short bob and my beautician told me I had three or four grades of hair. I was never great with doing my hair and before the bob, I just wrapped it up in a French roll. In 2002, I went completely natural because I started going to the pool 2-3 times a week and wanted a wash and go hairstyle. That, and because I don’t like to do much…I am a bit lazy. I was looking for a modified version of my current haircut, and your style and advice on simplicity fits the bill. I doubt if I will go through the gelling of the hair, but will save that option for special occasions as I like the look. You have given me ideas on various products and simplicity so thank you for an informative video.
Always loved your hair styles. After about 15 years of holding on to what I think is long damaged hair, you are making me want to do the big chop! What lip gloss are you wearing? Pretty natural color.
You can do it! I’m wearing Sephora’s lipgloss in the shade “#blessed” 🩷
ooohhhh lawd. I use a silk pillowcase as well. I don't like sleeping on a bonnet either. I also change it my pillowcases once a week as well. I'm also at a point where I don't want alot of products in my hair either. I want a real wash and go, wash, product, dry and go.
WoW! You are so amazing and inspirational!! Keep shining!!!
Thank you so much 🥺🩷
I'm new to your channel, and your makeup video popped up in my feed. OMG, I love your channel. I've been watching for the past two days. I love your honest, laid-back vibe. I barely subscribe to anyone but you have won me over. Keep being you. And your videos I learn easy to do step-by-step instructions. Love it, keep pushing wonderful content.
You look amazing!!! Your skin! Hair! Just gorgeous!!
Thank you!!🥹🩷
I love it and I cut my hair 3 days ago and it's styled like yours ,I don't use the same products but it still turned out well.
You look great! You are glowing. Blessings. 👑
Great conversation! I'll check back for the satin pillowcase.

Your hair is beautiful, so are you!❤️🫶🏾
First thing I have to say is, I love your beautiful spirit❤️. Secondly, We have the same exact hair type so I will have to try this gel.
Girl this is cuteeee! I have to try this gel. If the argan oil Eco styler gives me this same curl maybe this one will too! And I have thick ninja hair ok! Lol
I’ve watched this video twice just because of your voice! If no one has told you before your voice is amazing!
Wow 🥺🥺 thank you!! I actually used to hate my voice lol!
Gurl, the haters are going to hate.
Love your content and your curly new routine. The shine is awesome ❤
I hear ya girl! You have a beautiful spirit, so be you.
What kind of gel u use in your hair 💖
That's beautiful. I love the the looks
Where can I get that gel am having a short hair
Hi Lorissa, new subbie here. Your hair is gorgeous. I ordered the Curldaze and will let you know the results. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings...🙏🏾💚👑😘
Hey!! How’d it work for you?
@LorissaNelson I LOVE IT! It is the only product needed to pop and hydrate your curls. 😘
You really went high on this post! I’m glad to be at an age were I realize ever comments doesn’t deserve a response from me. I will agree, products don’t give us anything it enhances what God has already given us. When I was younger and before I did the clip I always got asked what did I use on my hair to give it bounce/body. When I released my hair from gels and heavy hydration products to make it stay in placed; it moved. Keep being who God created you to be!
Thanks so much for all your advice. I love my hair and natural too. Cut my hair in the 90's for health reasons at the time. But once I went and natural that was it. I've used and tried many Gels.. My hair will curl with water also, but sometimes I like to add a little gel to make it last are curl tighter. I been using S'Curl products. But for more natural I will try this product. It works quickly I see too. Let you know later. 👍🏽🙂
Love video…1 question how do u refresh in the morning
Water!
Thank you so much for this video, lovin how God made you. I was wearing wigs because I didn't like my hair, but this year I threw them away because I am made in God image and he made as the word fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank you so much I am on the natural journey as well
Loved all of this! God has given you so much wisdom! Love the beautiful hairstyle. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Loved the video! Love the curls and those earrings. I definitely plan on looking into order new jewelry through your suggested online store. You don't have to explain your hair pattern to anyone!
Psalm 139:14 says: I praise you because in an awe-inspiring way I am wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
I know this very well.
I’ve already purchased the gel & I truly love it 🥰
Is it the white cream or brown gel
Thank you for this tutorial/lecture and encouragement. You're beautiful inside and out!
Looks like the gel does not make your hair dry like some gels. Please confirm. Your hair is the opposite of mine. My hair is straighter at the top, more curly on the sides and tighter in the back. I cut my locs two years ago for the third time, so I have been natural since 1997-98. I love it. Thank you for the instructional video.
You tutorials are excellent.
This is my personal opinion. Make sure you read up on what products are used in braids. I am from the old school and I wish I had listened to my mom about putting a relaxer in my hair. She was a cosmetologist that did not rally the relaxer trend.
I am 75 and it is a struggle for me that I have finally let the relaxer grow out. How I wish I had listened. Obedience is golden. I will try your method with one product because I had worn my hair short for over fifty-seven years. Continue to do what work best for you. We are all of God's children with different talents.
Peace, Love, and Happiness.
🎉
I completely understand everything you're saying about people questioning your curl pattern...I that all of the time because my entire texture is the same as your sides and I only use water and a gel (luster's short look) to define my curls.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Morris’s what brand hair color is healthy for hair? I have gray I need to cover .
Girl congratulations almost 300k subs great video
Omg! Thank you!!!
I love it! Yes we are made in the image and likeness of the Lord our God!! 🎉🎉❤ True Beauty
Sis, another great video. Im so sick of people. IT’S YOUR CHANNEL! How can someone tell you ABOUT YOU! They don’t know you. They can’t feel your hair. Some people eyes look almost black. You get close they are brown. CONTINUE WITH YOUR GREATNESS! OG IN THE HOUSE! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Mrs. NELSON You Have Gorgeous Hair, That Matches Your Skin And You So Well
Thank you Ms. Nelson! 😉😘
Funny enough when I started washing my hair when I was relaxed weekly it definitely was fantastic! But now without relaxer and kids the washing isn't happening as much. But I think co washing can happen daily or every other day.
Hiya, ❤️❤️your videos, thank you.
Thank you for sharing your hair journey. I will try it because I also have curly hair.
Love your hair and you are so pretty! Thanks for sharing😊
I love ❤ you are so beautiful and yours hair too what color is your makeup
I love I mean love your videos sis you all so speak the truth love it all praises sis keep it up thank you
Mrs. L. I also agree the better the stylish the better the hair wil look, etc. & thT makes sense about Everything the more u know & how to apply brings about success! Why we are criticized for knowing what, we know for sure. Etc on this u-tube platform is Madness!all who dare have a channel is BRAVE to do so!what get"s me if u don't agree or like a person's channel why watch!? Everyone has a God given right to their experiences , thoughts, belief etc. Of course! But their are people on this platform such as your self who do know what they have experience & know what they are talking, doing! P.S.u can wear those short hair styles as my girl Anita Baker! grace to all gh
How long does it typically take you to do your hair? I love your curls.
Young Woman of God let him use you to the end and thank you for the word from on high ❤❤❤
Your hair and you are beautiful. I can’t tell, but is that a pink comb or brush your using?
I Love the hair video,, I just started using curldaze gel but I am not getting the same result as you because my hair is not curling like yours so could it be because my hair is longer and when it dries it is very dry. I have tried so many different hair products and none seem to work so if you have any suggestions please let a sistah know...Thank you.
