YAY it's finally here and Oh man 22 minutes, I was just about to shut it down(church n da mornin!) but you and your FABULOUS locks should keep me awake! YES the color is really nice and poppin on the twist out! HAH your so funny... I can't do any drastic things to my hair until I've actually reached my goal of WL and have swung it around for about a decade! I'm so picky with my hair I haven't even worn a twist out or braid out yet because my slug growing bangs just have too much shrinkage and NO hang time whatsoever! I can see that you're very thorough with everything that you do and that's a fantastic quality...girl I would have pdf'ed it up too, so my hair doesn't get pdf'ed up! Your balayage hair kinda reminds me of the sun kissed aborigines hair, very pretty. Oh my goodness, I'm crackin up, I need a zoom button I couldn't really read that comment but your face said "wackadooooodle!" That's the 3rd wackadoo for you today and all 3 on FB, the 1st man was talking about transferring money to you, the 2nd man was telling you a story about balloon fart trapping both guys were on your Essence post(congrats again!) and now this man, "Oh man", with great popularity come greater weirdos! Great informative video Whitney and thank you for being 100% honest with the coloring cons! I have no plans on dying my hair(I'M TOO PLAIN) but I wouldn't mind rocking a "Whitney Balayage Diva Cut Wig!" I have a sister with color treated hair who's thinking of dyeing it again and I know different people who like to do different things with their hair so I like to be able to share what I've learned with them. Have a great Sunday Whitney and anyone else reading this! Goodnight!
I love that you reiterated that there's damage but it's not the end of the world...even though you've created such a big brand around your hair I think it's so important to show viewers that your hair isn't EVERYTHING. I've colored my hair, big chopped 2 times, and worn my hair in many styles and people always say, "Oh, no!" when I do as if I was cutting off my arm. However my hair is still really healthy and that's what's important. You gave great tips in this video.
Your hair is so beautiful! I enjoy watching and learning so much from your videos. Your my hair crush ♥♥...I am just starting in my hair journey and watching your videos makes me excited for what's to come.
My favorite line in the whole video, "It'll grow back....or maybe it won't." Lol! You know, it's whatever! Haha. This was very informative! I really feel prepared now if I ever decide to color my hair. SN: Out of all the ppl who fill in their eyebrows, you're one of the few that's got it right! Lol, eyebrows are on point!
I like that you sent the pictures before hand to the stylist as it gave her the opportunity to opt out of doing your hair vs. getting there and getting resistance.
Every since you started doing a bunch of new things with your hair I've been watching your channel a LOT more. I really love when naturals do new interesting things with their hair. I can't tell you how many people I stopped watching cause they keep doing the same old twist out videos. Kudos to you for always going outside of the box!
Whitney, you are the reason I went natural. I first saw one of your videos in February 2012 which interested me. It made me wonder if I could get my hair as pretty as yours. I've had a perm so long that I didn't think I had curls. I made the decision one month later in March to do the big chop. My big chop took everything, I mean everything off. My hair was down to my waistline and I shaved my head ball. I was so out done that I wore wigs for 4 months until my hair grew out enough to do something with. I was really surprised to see the beautiful curls on my head. It has been 2 years and 6 months and I'm loving it. No heat, no sitting under the hairdryer for hours, no all day at the salon. This was the best things I have done. Thank you a million times over for coming into my life and changing the way I think about my hair and life. I watch you vlog and videos on a daily basis. I love, love, love your hair and hair styles videos as well as your videos with your family. May God bless you and your family.
Finally!!! I got my hair cut by Krish, she is awesome, very nice, professional and on time. I did not get the color because I have a lot of gray and i have to touch up every eight weeks. I am 3 years natural and have never seen a stylish in my journey due to the fact that it is very hard to find a stylist that will care for your hair the way you do. My hair is past my shoulders and it's taken a long time to get my hair this length so I was nervous to go to some one that might cut all my hair off, I wanted to get advice on where to go next with my care for my hair. Krish is very detailed, she coiled every curl on my head with flaxseed gel and oil before she cut it. I am so happy I waited to find the right stylist thanks to Whitney. Thanks Guys :-)
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." I am not sure if you are a believer in Christ, whoever is reading this, but I just want to spread the word about my Lord and savior. Jesus Christ died upon a cross for our sins and he took a punishment that every sinner deserved, because we all have disobeyed God, when He has always been faithful to us. God is so amazing that He sent His only son to die for us. That is truly love. Jesus is the only way to eternal life and I just want to encourage you to give your life to Him today. Repent, meaning turn away from your sinful ways and give your life to Him. Ask Him for forgiveness. He is a the wonderful God and loves you so much that he says he will even completely forget your past sins (Isaiah 43:25). I just want to encourage you to give Jesus a chance because He is the ONLY way to eternal life, and heaven is not the only place to go after you die, hell is real. And you never know when your time will come, so give your life to Him today. God bless you all :)
Yes, hell is very real. Life is temporary but hell is eternal. Jesus is the way, truth and the life. There's too much distractions in this world & that is what hindering the blessings God's people are suppose to receive. Traditions of this world are pagan; God never said to participate in them. Also we have to EARN our blessings & favors by actions...we cant expect God to give us this and that; he knows our hearts. Showing him how much we love him & to take a stand for the Lord, even means to die for him like he did for us. Im far from being perfect and no other human is. But we ourselves have to be in decency & in order before him; first is to repent & be baptized in Jesus name. Thanks for sharing!
The stylist did and awesome job and I never seen anyone cut hair like that. I love the color, and although I am not looking for color right now I will definitely be contacting her for a good trim because my hair severely needs one right now. Thank you for sharing her and including her info, she is about to get extremely busy...lol...and I'm glad she is here in Jersey...hehe.
Thanks so much for your insight and advice Ms. Nap! It is SOOOOOO helpful. I've been wanting to color my hair, but I just don't know how to plan for it. THIS HAS BEEN MUCH NEEDED FOR ME!!! Now I know how to start my planning process! I'm so grateful!! And you are so beautiful!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, for this video! This is the holy grail of salon tips for the natural as far as I'm concerned! PDF?! YES! Brilliant ideas. Ironically your dope looking color and encouragement to take risks with your natural hair is helping me to decide to get a relaxer after six years of being natural. I've been fighting the urge to perm my hair for years now but I'm over it and I just don't care. It's my hair and it will be OK! I def see myself going natural again but at this point in my life a short relaxed style suites me. Love your videos, girl!
Bravo, this was a good synopsis of your experience. Been toying with the idea but I think I will hold off for now, lol. Just a tip with the Argan oil: heat oil and apply to scalp and hair shaft then wet t-shirt in hot, I mean hot water or just place it in the microwave to heat up and wrap it around the hair. I usually do this in segments and then just place a cap on with a hot t-shirt wrapped around my entire head of hair for about 15-20 mins. This will help it penetrate the follicle to intensify added moisture to the hair especially colored treated hair. Hope this helps.
OMG that color of the highlights has really settled since the video where you unveiled the color. It very much suits you. It's just so gorgeous, I can't deal. I think balayage is such a natural technique. I'm inspired to try something new on my natural hair.
Love love love your hair. It does look so refreshed. I can't wait for the next generation of naturals to come up. I feel like it won't be such a deeply heavy and personal thing for our girls like it has been for us. It will just be hair not such a self realizing journey as with most of us who have gone through this natural transition. We had to battle so much with not only ourselves but society to come to grips with our hair that we hold on to it and become over protective. I'm glad to see you took the plunge. You set a great example.
Love it! I can just imagine the look of horror on the stylists face when she got that PDF file. I bet she felt like she was about to diffuse a bomb. Ha! Here's the thing, Im sure that as a stylist You want your client to be happy but at the same time you want your client to just let you do your job. I would be really interested to know how stylists feel about seeing natural clients who are really particular and have not been to the salon in a long time, or never. Thats the boat I'm in and I'm sure I'm not alone.
I love the changes to your hair! Well, this hair stylist is going to be swamped with appointments. You one of the "Oprah" of our natural hair community. ☆
That color definitely compliments you Whitney in every way. Your skin tone, everything. I hope you do a video wearing clothing styles that further sets off your new hair color. Your makeup is gorgeous as well!
How exhausting it is to get my hair done! I relate 100%! Most stylist are ready to cry once they are done with my hair! I wish I was not all the way in Cali I would love to go to her. My hair is exactly like yours! Glad you had some luck with a stylist.
No regrets with positive changes! Be flexible and make adjustments to your regular routine, as you have. Continue to enjoy your new look! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Great tips! I've been a hairstylist for seven years, and thank god I have never had any freak outs, but your right to provide Exactly what you wanted if you wanted something specific! WE ARE NOT MIND READERS! Beautiful color by the way and loved the vid : )
As always so informative! I absolutely LOVEEEE your color and how it's like highlights but blends so better. I also think it's great that you kept in mind how it will grow out. You inspire me! :)
I know what you mean! My hairdresser does this thing where she takes chunks out of the center of the strands to remove the weight and mushroomy shape but without removing the length. It's magical to watch.
Wow, the stylist is amazing! I expected her to be another natural but I'm surprised that she wasn't! She's very talented and knows what she's doing, your hair looks beautiful Whit! :)
I love the results on you. Makes me regrets a bit coloring my hair all black. I agree, it is VERY important to tell the stylist what you want because if not, you will NOT like your hair and it affects your self-esteem.
I learned so much from this video! I'm recommending this video to my mom because she's been scared to color her natural hair! I absolutely love your hair and personality! Since I've been transitioning, your videos are what help me the most..Thank you!
Moisture Tip for colored hair- I learned from a indian friend!!! Vatika-is a good coconut oil to use but totally no nessary as long as its solid! I get my hair colored about every 6 months or so. A "coconut bath" for your hair. I leave mine in for 24 hours.( i like head wraps if i have to go some where) your hair ends up awesome and moisturize then add oil twice as much as you normally. Your hair will thank you!!!!! I love this video, there isn't enough videos on natural dyed hair :) Thanks
These are great tips. Your color looks fantastic. I have always colored my hair and I love doing it, I've made some mistaks with color along the way, but thought it all my hair has stayed healthy
Hi Whitney, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I actually found myself in Krish's salon a week ago and got my divia cut done as well. I had a great experience and Krish is a doll. I am enjoying my new cut and will be washing out my hair today finally. My curls lasted a whole week and was very moisturize with the shae moisture shuffle. I can't wait to go and play in my hair now. Thanks again to both you and Krish.
One thing that works really well on my hair since I've colored it is protein! My hair LOVES a good protein treatment every 2-4 weeks. Maybe that can help combat some of the lost elasticity and help you retain moisture better in the long run. Love the cut and color though and I agree. I've been itching for a change and think I'm going to go for bangs! And like you said, why not... Just go for it!
Your hair is gorgeous!!! Love the Balayage highlights and Devacut! The way you communicated with the Stylist with pdf's was definitely on point. What you stated about not following rules, it is your life, and do not worry what others say...I can't agree more. Appreciate you sharing this and Blessings to you and your family!!! :)
thank you so much for this follow up video. I am always so afraid of going to a salon because I have so much hair and its so thick, curly and long. I feel like they get scared as soon as I walk in but these are great tips so I can get ready for my much needed cut!!
Yeah! I can't believe she is at a half million already. Good for her. I remember when I first subscribed to her channel about three years ago, she was at about 15,000 subscribers. I love her videos. You go Whitney!
I really love how detailed and engaged u are, with us... Thank u so much u r greatly appreciated. We thank your hubby as well for supporting u through this
Thanks whit, so thorough, I'm not ready for the real dye yet, using a semi permanent color that I am very happy with but a balayage / Diva is def a long term goal. As I listened I just felt all my anxieties about color melt away! Now I feel prepared for when I do make that decision! Blessings!
Thanks for sharing this detailed video! I can tell that your a very detailed and organized person. :) I'm glad you told the hairstylist exactly what you wanted and im glad your hair came out Looking Great!
You have saved the day, I'm 3 years natural and was having thoughts of letting my natural hair go. My challenge is that I dont know anyone who really care to take the time with my natural hair that I do, so I'm afraid to let anyone touch it and it needs some professional HELP at this 3 year point in the game. I need fairy knots cut out, a trim and some advice on covering my fast growing gray. The look of your hair is what i hope to achieve one day and the look i have now is just not working for me so, I'm calling The Luxe Beauty Group to help me too. THANKS!
Hey Whitney! Can you redo a video on flexi-rod set with the new color? I know that would be banging! Xoxox. I absolutely love the color and shape you have now.
Hi again Whitt, I just watched a hair documentary by Snoopfilms on youtube where you were the winner of the top 30 naturals. Yay! You're the most watched hair channel. Keep up the great work that you do.
Your hair looks amazing! This video was definitely an encouraging one. Im 11 months natural, my hair is in that odd middle length stage and I've been really thinking about flat ironing it. I want to see my hair straight, but I do suffer from the over protective thing you were talking about in the beginning of the video. I haven't done it because im afraid the heat will damage my curls. Buttt after watching this I think I might just do it. Not sure if I want to go to a stylist because im really over proactive and I don't trust anyone with my hair but me lol. So ill do it myself. I love your videos, I've been a fan for 2 years. Thanks for all the amazing types and styles
I have tons of pics with color that I do not want. Lol. I plan to get my hair colored in February. That is a good idea to have pics with your hair in different styles. I will definitely do that when I go. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love that you're so different! It's hard to set yourself a part when there are so many, you've mastered it :) Your videos are always informative and interesting! Thank you!
I LOVE the new look! Thanks for sharing your salon experience. I can totally can relate to feeling hesitant to speak up. I went to a salon to get my hair braided and my hair wasn't detangled and the stylist was yanking and ripping through my hair! Mind you, I was pregnant at the time and was exhausted and tired of doing my hair! LOL but thinking back, I should have spoke up. Currently, I am searching for a natural hair stylist because I am in desperate need of a healthy trim! I hope I get as lucky as you in finding a patient and knowledgeable stylist because my hair is extremely thick!
I love love love you Whitney! You are one of my top Girl Bosses out there! I was reading a book called "Adulting" by Kelly Williams Brown and it gave me the idea that you could write your own book! You have tons of valuable tips (and not just the awesome hair ones) that could save a life and I know it would be a best seller!!
I'm so happy that you had a positive experience. I must have been scarred by my previous salon experiences because those few clips of you in the chair got my heart rate up; fine-toothed comb for detangling and the fasted diva cut I've ever seen. Other diva cut vids feature stylists who, like yours, define each curl, but then go super slowly and deliberately when cutting. That said, you look great :)
Hey Nap, I'm new to youtube (well at least new to having my own channel, lol as you can see I don't even have a picture up yet); anyway, I've been watching your channel for a few months now & I am completely natural now or my last relaxer was april of 2013 & all relaxer is now out through transitioning. To cut this comment short, I really enjoy all of your videos including your dear naptural85 channel becuz I just like you & your personality is real to me. You are the type of person that would be my friend. So I say, thank you for all your tips & sharing your life with us.
New color okay... let it grow on me..... girl I love it. Happy u have the balls to dye your hair I'm still thinking about it... thinking for two years now lol
OMG Whit. thanks for the tips. I absolutely love your hair. It is so beautiful. We have patiently waiting for this video. Thanks again for all of your tips.
Thank you SO much for this video!!! I've recently accomplished a major goal and my reward for myself is a treat to the salon for a fresh layered cut. I haven't had anyone touch my hair but myself in at least 7 years. (So, I'm a bit nervous.) I'm definitely going to take your advice and provide photos of what I do and do not want. Thanks for that suggestion!!!
OMG!!! I have been looking for a stylist who works with natural hair in NJ. I'm definitely going to check her out!! Your color and cut looks amazing!!!
My thoughts exactly! The #1 reason I have not gone to get my hair done is because the time and technique it takes to detangle my hair. The only way I would go is if its already detangled because that is an hour long process...just have to find a stylist willing to play along
thanks so much for this vid bc I've always been afraid to speak up to not offend or intimidate...but you're right so good...you're so particular and I'm glad I'm not alone!
Your hair color is gorg! Congrats on taking the plunge! BTW That last Facebook comment was weird!! Hahaha. I laughed so hard at your reaction. Good one.
Beautiful! I must admit when you said you sent a PDF, I was waiting for you to laugh as if you were joking...But you were serious! As a result, you got RESULTS! Beautiful!
Your hair is just beautiful. I would really like you to show us how and what you did to get your hair looking like that. I know it's a twist out, but I have tried over and over and just failed all the time. I can't wait to make an appointment with your stylist.
Who's Up!?! New Upload just went LIVE!! #NaturalHair

Your twist out in this video is giving me so much life
No regrets with positive changes! Be flexible and make adjustments to your regular routine, as you have. Continue to enjoy your new look! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Great tips! I've been a hairstylist for seven years, and thank god I have never had any freak outs, but your right to provide Exactly what you wanted if you wanted something specific! WE ARE NOT MIND READERS! Beautiful color by the way and loved the vid : )
As always so informative! I absolutely LOVEEEE your color and how it's like highlights but blends so better. I also think it's great that you kept in mind how it will grow out. You inspire me! :)
I know what you mean! My hairdresser does this thing where she takes chunks out of the center of the strands to remove the weight and mushroomy shape but without removing the length. It's magical to watch.
Wow, the stylist is amazing! I expected her to be another natural but I'm surprised that she wasn't! She's very talented and knows what she's doing, your hair looks beautiful Whit! :)
I love the results on you. Makes me regrets a bit coloring my hair all black. I agree, it is VERY important to tell the stylist what you want because if not, you will NOT like your hair and it affects your self-esteem.
But again LOVE the color!!!!
She did a GREAT JOB on your hair! I LOVE IT!!!
I learned so much from this video! I'm recommending this video to my mom because she's been scared to color her natural hair! I absolutely love your hair and personality! Since I've been transitioning, your videos are what help me the most..Thank you!
Moisture Tip for colored hair- I learned from a indian friend!!!
Vatika-is a good coconut oil to use but totally no nessary as long as its solid!
I get my hair colored about every 6 months or so. A "coconut bath" for your hair. I leave mine in for 24 hours.( i like head wraps if i have to go some where) your hair ends up awesome and moisturize then add oil twice as much as you normally. Your hair will thank you!!!!!
I love this video, there isn't enough videos on natural dyed hair :)
Thanks
That shrinkage is real! Love the look!
These are great tips. Your color looks fantastic. I have always colored my hair and I love doing it, I've made some mistaks with color along the way, but thought it all my hair has stayed healthy
Your hair looks gorgeous! She did an amazing job on the cut and color. A good stylist is worth their weight in platinum.
Lip color! Hair color! You are just working it Whit!!! You look refreshed and gorgeous.
You are a woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to tell it. I think that is awesome. I"m sure she appreciated it.
Hi Whitney, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I actually found myself in Krish's salon a week ago and got my divia cut done as well. I had a great experience and Krish is a doll. I am enjoying my new cut and will be washing out my hair today finally. My curls lasted a whole week and was very moisturize with the shae moisture shuffle. I can't wait to go and play in my hair now. Thanks again to both you and Krish.
One thing that works really well on my hair since I've colored it is protein! My hair LOVES a good protein treatment every 2-4 weeks. Maybe that can help combat some of the lost elasticity and help you retain moisture better in the long run. Love the cut and color though and I agree. I've been itching for a change and think I'm going to go for bangs! And like you said, why not... Just go for it!
Your hair is gorgeous!!! Love the Balayage highlights and Devacut! The way you communicated with the Stylist with pdf's was definitely on point. What you stated about not following rules, it is your life, and do not worry what others say...I can't agree more. Appreciate you sharing this and Blessings to you and your family!!! :)
thank you so much for this follow up video. I am always so afraid of going to a salon because I have so much hair and its so thick, curly and long. I feel like they get scared as soon as I walk in but these are great tips so I can get ready for my much needed cut!!
Congratulations on 500k subscribers. I know 1 mil is coming soon! You're amazing! 😊
Yeah! I can't believe she is at a half million already. Good for her. I remember when I first subscribed to her channel about three years ago, she was at about 15,000 subscribers. I love her videos. You go Whitney!
I just adore your attitude and the way you share with us! Love this makeup look. Need a tutorial stat!
Whitney Chile your hair is simply gorgeous! !!! Yes Life is roo precious not to do what you want. I love your honesty.
Your hair looks so good!
Thank you! Kaelyn Johnson
I really love how detailed and engaged u are, with us... Thank u so much u r greatly appreciated. We thank your hubby as well for supporting u through this
GIRRLLL, YOU COLOR AND CUT ARE EXCELLENT.BEAUTIFUL. I MEAN BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks whit, so thorough, I'm not ready for the real dye yet, using a semi permanent color that I am very happy with but a balayage / Diva is def a long term goal. As I listened I just felt all my anxieties about color melt away! Now I feel prepared for when I do make that decision! Blessings!
Thanks for sharing this detailed video! I can tell that your a very detailed and organized person. :) I'm glad you told the hairstylist exactly what you wanted and im glad your hair came out Looking Great!
I love your new hair tons !!
XO! Thanks Joya Riley !
You have saved the day, I'm 3 years natural and was having thoughts of letting my natural hair go. My challenge is that I dont know anyone who really care to take the time with my natural hair that I do, so I'm afraid to let anyone touch it and it needs some professional HELP at this 3 year point in the game. I need fairy knots cut out, a trim and some advice on covering my fast growing gray. The look of your hair is what i hope to achieve one day and the look i have now is just not working for me so, I'm calling The Luxe Beauty Group to help me too. THANKS!
Hey Whitney! Can you redo a video on flexi-rod set with the new color? I know that would be banging! Xoxox. I absolutely love the color and shape you have now.
Thank you for sharing your experience and giving us some great tips! The color is fab I'm so happy that you love it!
I died of laughter when you said "your hair will grow back... and maybe it won't, (nervous laugh)" HILARIOUS! Gotta love your realness!
OMG congratulations on 500K!! I can't believe you've come so far....so proud!
still cannot get over your cut, amazing
Hi again Whitt, I just watched a hair documentary by Snoopfilms on youtube where you were the winner of the top 30 naturals. Yay! You're the most watched hair channel. Keep up the great work that you do.
How much did you pay for the entire process?!
That's what I want to know! Lol! +naptural85
I'm like drooling over your hair in this video!
This is soooooo helpful!!! You put it perfectly! You are simply amazing! And so is your hair!! Rock it girl!
Your hair looks amazing! This video was definitely an encouraging one. Im 11 months natural, my hair is in that odd middle length stage and I've been really thinking about flat ironing it. I want to see my hair straight, but I do suffer from the over protective thing you were talking about in the beginning of the video. I haven't done it because im afraid the heat will damage my curls. Buttt after watching this I think I might just do it. Not sure if I want to go to a stylist because im really over proactive and I don't trust anyone with my hair but me lol. So ill do it myself. I love your videos, I've been a fan for 2 years. Thanks for all the amazing types and styles
The hair color and cut definitely compliments your face. Your stylist did a wonderful job.
Yes I am the first comment!lol. Love you naptural and I am so happy for you and all the doors of opportunities coming your way! God is good!
Ahhh man I'm not the first.lol
Xo! Thank you so much Toia319 !!
I have tons of pics with color that I do not want. Lol. I plan to get my hair colored in February. That is a good idea to have pics with your hair in different styles. I will definitely do that when I go. Thanks for sharing your experience.
What's up Whit! Your hair looks great, you stay on point. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. You rock!
Absolutely beautiful! I live vicariously through your locks.
Love that you're so different! It's hard to set yourself a part when there are so many, you've mastered it :) Your videos are always informative and interesting! Thank you!
Love, love, love the cut and color. Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful! I'm glad you had such an awesome experience! The color looks Amazing on you! Thanks for SHARING!
Whoa, it looks gorgeous in a twist out!
I LOVE the new look! Thanks for sharing your salon experience. I can totally can relate to feeling hesitant to speak up. I went to a salon to get my hair braided and my hair wasn't detangled and the stylist was yanking and ripping through my hair! Mind you, I was pregnant at the time and was exhausted and tired of doing my hair! LOL but thinking back, I should have spoke up. Currently, I am searching for a natural hair stylist because I am in desperate need of a healthy trim! I hope I get as lucky as you in finding a patient and knowledgeable stylist because my hair is extremely thick!
the fact that the stylist is here in Jersey 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 winniiinnnngg~~ thankyou so much for this video Whitney!!
I love love love you Whitney! You are one of my top Girl Bosses out there! I was reading a book called "Adulting" by Kelly Williams Brown and it gave me the idea that you could write your own book! You have tons of valuable tips (and not just the awesome hair ones) that could save a life and I know it would be a best seller!!
I'm so happy that you had a positive experience. I must have been scarred by my previous salon experiences because those few clips of you in the chair got my heart rate up; fine-toothed comb for detangling and the fasted diva cut I've ever seen. Other diva cut vids feature stylists who, like yours, define each curl, but then go super slowly and deliberately when cutting. That said, you look great :)
Thanks Naptural85 for all you do.... love
Hey Nap, I'm new to youtube (well at least new to having my own channel, lol as you can see I don't even have a picture up yet); anyway, I've been watching your channel for a few months now & I am completely natural now or my last relaxer was april of 2013 & all relaxer is now out through transitioning. To cut this comment short, I really enjoy all of your videos including your dear naptural85 channel becuz I just like you & your personality is real to me. You are the type of person that would be my friend. So I say, thank you for all your tips & sharing your life with us.
Lipstick on point. This just hit my Phone and I'm like yeah gotta watch this.
Whitney, I was trying to listen but I could not stop staring at your hair 😍
New color okay... let it grow on me..... girl I love it. Happy u have the balls to dye your hair I'm still thinking about it... thinking for two years now lol
"That sucker boy smile"....? What?
That comment got me so confuse 😳
I think he was referring to the Facebook photo she posted asking followers for questions about the new colour.
I know! I read that and I was like, "What the heck does that mean"?! 😕
LOL! He was trying to get his flirt on!
Oh that is what he was trying to do?! lol
OMG Whit. thanks for the tips. I absolutely love your hair. It is so beautiful. We have patiently waiting for this video. Thanks again for all of your tips.
Great video :) I love all the tips u share, and I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for taking the time to film!
You look stunning Whit!!!!!
Your hair is so gorgeous!!! My baby sister loves your vlogs too! I'm totally attempting this color on my natural hair.
Thank you SO much for this video!!! I've recently accomplished a major goal and my reward for myself is a treat to the salon for a fresh layered cut. I haven't had anyone touch my hair but myself in at least 7 years. (So, I'm a bit nervous.) I'm definitely going to take your advice and provide photos of what I do and do not want. Thanks for that suggestion!!!
OMG!!! I have been looking for a stylist who works with natural hair in NJ. I'm definitely going to check her out!! Your color and cut looks amazing!!!
My thoughts exactly! The #1 reason I have not gone to get my hair done is because the time and technique it takes to detangle my hair. The only way I would go is if its already detangled because that is an hour long process...just have to find a stylist willing to play along
Just noticed that you've hit 500,000 subscribers! Such a great accomplishment! Congratulations!
Your hair looks so happy!!! Love it!
thanks so much for this vid bc I've always been afraid to speak up to not offend or intimidate...but you're right so good...you're so particular and I'm glad I'm not alone!
Congrats on 500'000 subbies! We love you Whitney!!!!!!!!!!
Your hair color is gorg! Congrats on taking the plunge! BTW That last Facebook comment was weird!! Hahaha. I laughed so hard at your reaction. Good one.
LOL! Thank you! Missy Mist
Beautiful! I must admit when you said you sent a PDF, I was waiting for you to laugh as if you were joking...But you were serious! As a result, you got RESULTS! Beautiful!
Absolutely love your hair!! You always give great tips and advice.
Yees information overload!! I looove it. Soo happy you shared your experience :)
Thank you.
This color is gorgeous. :)
Your hair looks looks great! Yep, enjoy your hair anyway you please. Hair grows.
Your hair is just beautiful. I would really like you to show us how and what you did to get your hair looking like that. I know it's a twist out, but I have tried over and over and just failed all the time. I can't wait to make an appointment with your stylist.
I love your hair. This color looks great on you!
Can't wait till mine is this long 💕
