Alright. I finally found to time. and the gumption to cut Fluffnugget. My 4c natural hair was perishing slowly and something had to be done. I tried everything to save her, protein treatments, deep conditioning, hot oil treatments, everything. But when it came down to it, I had to let somethings go. This should help a ton on my hair growth journey and I hope you guys are excited as I am to see what natural hair shenanigans we get up to now.
--------------------------------------
So getting through an entire 4c wash day is hard enough, but when you add high shrinkage to the mix, life is hard. Natural hair isn't without its challenges, but this dry damaged natural hair really does up the ante. having kinky hair too is pretty intense most of the time lol So, hopefully my shrinkage test will be helpful to you somehow. :)

@Lana Joy 🙆🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣
Well now I dooooo 🙌🏿☺️
@@TheStarPuppy omg i luv you 😭
Lana Joy “rat’s nest” 😩😩 I can’t 😂😂😂😂
You should seriously play a Disney princess. Omg like you’re so beautiful and your voice is amazing.
Omg yes!
Agreed
shes an actress already so I'm pretty sure if the opportunity presents itself she'll take it
She reminds me of Stevens universe garnet

It broke my heart when you said "my hair is so far from the beauty standard in America to just be hair" I have 4c hair too.. Its a struggle I like when I do a braid out on my hair blow dried. But it shrinks and then I hate it
Kay I mine too😭😭😭 that really stuck with me. My daughter is 4c, exactly like this and I don’t want her to feel this way😭
As older natural, I can tell you all this manipulation torture black women are doing to their hair is going to destroy it beyond repair. The shrinkage that you despise now , you will wish for later. Trim and cut, yes cut your hair when needed. Short hair is not a mortal sin.
I wish everyone can love their hair, all textures of hair are beautiful! 🥰💆🏾♀️❤️
Same here, It;s not her fault her hair is dry, cause black curly hair = dry period
I'm telling you guys, cutting your bad ends changes lives. Stop fighting and struggling with it, just cut it and it will grow quicker.
I cut my ends finally Friday. First I washed it and twisted then I cut all those long stringy ends off.Some of stringy ends was like 6 inches long but they needed cutting
Mz Kegz hair grows from the scalp but yes if you eliminate the ends it will your hair health and retain length
Very true
Its true. I went to salon to finally get my damaged ends cut off when I called myself trying to dye my hair. The best thing I ever did for my hair, it started growing much faster cause my ends were not breaking off constantly.
That's true for all hair textures and I had to fight some people over this before just to then get an apology and a thank you for making them cut of their damaged ends.
I get mine cut every about 4 months, my hair can handle it that often some need more cutting some less you just kind of feel when your ends get to a point where they have to go again. If you do it regularly there doesn't need to be cut that much too, I get cut about 1-2 each time so less than an inch so I still get more growth than what is cut off.
Doesn't matter what your texture is, the damage will slowly travel up your hair shaft and destroy everything.
A stylist who actually knows about kinky hair. I love to see it.
Ik... I wish she was in my area
2:05 I feel that 100% and almost cried because people don't realize the struggle. I have mixed textures in my hair, but most of my hair is 4c & 4b and it shrinks literally to the scalp. And people within my own community always find a way to make me feel insecure about my natural hair texture. I'm always getting questions like "what are you going to do with it" "you're just gonna leave it like that?" as if there's something wrong with my hair. People with 3c & 4a hair NEVER get asked these questions. And I hate it when people say "oh you got that kinky hair" referring to my hair as "that" like it's a disease. It's truly sad and I just wish all black folks had 4c hair so we won't have these issues. For a while I thought about texturizing my hair...getting the "Gina Curl" if you don't know what that is just search it up. But I realized I only wanted to do it because I cared what others thought about my hair, which is a very wrong reason. I love my hair, because it's mine and I never saw anything wrong with it. It shrinks literally 80% lol. But it's okay, BECAUSE ITS MINE
I feel this. Its so disheartening sometimes
I’ve had someone ask me if I’ve looked in the mirror because I chose to wear my natural hair. I’ve accepted that 4c hair is not the standard of beauty.
Over time, I’ve developed confidence in my hair. I know other people won’t understand, but I understand that my hair is beautiful.
Please don't mind the ignorance some (too many people) show towards 4c hair. That is why I hate hair typing. As if the texture of someones hair defines who you are as a person. Please!! You have the right attitude. It is your hair, it is beautiful and you cherish YOUR hair! Keep rocking what is yours.
That's how it was for me when my hair was shorter. A lot of people don't appreciate kinkier hair unless it's longer and if you don't have it in a curly style, they assume it's not "done". People are ignorant to this type of hair, a lot of people don't know what it's actually supposed to look like.
Health over length 👌🏽
Precisely 🤗
Don't be sad little starpuppy. You are so brave. I love your TWA.
I dont get it, how is that a TWA? Its more like a SA (Small Afro). But okay.
Twa?

Shrinkage is a sign of healthy 4C hair. Damaged hair would be limp. In your quest to fight shrinkage, I think you over-manipulate your hair sometimes leading to damage. It's ok to stretch it out, but not all the time. Work with nature, not against it. ✌🏾❤
You know I'm a weeb when I read "Shrinkage" as "Shrin-kage"
-naruto plays in the background-
I have fine and kinky hair. Keeping it stretched has reduced my tangles, knots and breakage. This is the longest my hair has ever been. Right now my hair reaches just below my shoulder blades (about 1 1/2 inches from bra strap) for the most part. I think keeping the moisture and protein balance is very important.
Well it's like she says in her videos, she's an actress and wears her natural hair, and is dependant on it being the same length and looking the same all the time. I don't know how she would do that without manipulating it...
@@mynamehere492 maybe you don't over-manipulate it. Also, factors like porosity, handling, moisture retention and sensitivity to stress vary amongst people even with the same hair type. What works for you might not work for someone else's 4c hair.
@@darthchocolate5190 I totally agree with that, I don't do a lot of what some of the fine/ thin haired naturals on UA-cam do. I had to go through many trails and errors before I found out what works. I just had to say that, for me, stretching works.
Finally someone addressed the “it’s just hair don’t get so worked up” thing. Thank you I completely agree
I wish I knew someone who could actual deal with my type 4 hair, but it's hard to find people like her 😭 I even had to big chop my own hair
Me too girl :((
same here
Cutting coily hair is hard, and it came out uneven 😭 being natural is hard, but I love it ❤️
My mother big chop my hair and then I went to a barber to even the Afro out
Me too. And i had a toooon of straight ends after 😬
I'm finally early, and motivated to REMOVE THOSE RATCHET ENDS!!!
I need to do the same
Sorry but I'm in love with your voice, you can sangggg ❤
Sames, I love her voice 😍
Same here too
I just want you to know that you have been such a positive inspiration in my life. I am 50+ years old. It is Monday morning. I am sitting at my desk about to begin the day's tasks. I raise both arms in the air and shout out "Star Puppy Away!" And I know its gonna be a good day! Thanks for being YOU!
The secret to length and volume retention for 4b and 4c hair is minimal manipulation. Stop stressing your scalp. I leave mine in small three strand natural braids for at least 3 months. I don't have to comb my hair but i can wash it 😃
Olive oil and Raw Shea butter are great moisturisers for 4c hair
Kim i read this as : "three braids for three months 😂
@@raesiabruce2292 😂😂😂 that would be crazy
my hair thrives in buns. i dont touch it for a week or 2 and i only wash it once or twice a month. it works.
I agree. This is definitely how I get my hair to grow
Kim Doesnt your hair lock up if left that long? This is my fear!!
I need this woman. I'm in the same boat right now. I can see my hair is deteriorating but I can't find people that will be sensitive to my needs when it comes to a trim or cut. I LOVED how your stylist tried so hard not to use heat.
I have bone straight hair but I love your videos because of your personality, your attitude about self love and I absolutely love your hair!
It definitely looks thicker after the cut she did a good job
i so wish i had found your channel sooner. i need more fellow eccentric black girls 😅😅
I look for people like her everywhere
Check out Raven the Science Maven
Hmm...it looks like hot girl summer has burnt everyone’s hair to a crisp. Don’t feel bad star puppy, many of us have had to cut/trim our hair this fall. May I suggest checking your iron and vitamin D levels?
Yes! I had that issue and it affected my hair as well as my acne and a whole lot of other things. Definitely recommend everyone checking their levels
Check thyroid levels too.
Just know that even though it is cut now and it was hard to do so, just know that it will grow back as beautiful as ever and you're still gorgeous! You got this!
Same. It took me a long time to cut of the dead and broken ends which is why it hasn't grown. Just recently cut off about 3 inches
Girl, I am SO happy for you and FluffNugget! Moisture for the win! I was actually surprised the stylist was so adamant about wash and go's on 4C hair because I was always told our type needs to remain stretched. I haven't worn one like 8 inches ago. 😅 PLEASE do a video on your upcoming wash and go knowledge! Can't wait! 😎
I do wash n gos and I band my hair to keep it stretched. That way I usually don't get tangles and knots. I still think keeping my kinky hair stretched helps with retaining my length.
Wash and go’s do amazing the curlier the hair! It allows constant moisture and that makes everyone’s life mo betta
I know you've spoken about being insecure about your hair, but I think it's so so so beautiful. This new haircut suits you so much, too. Please make a video about trying a wash and go! ❤️
The realness at 2:00! I tell myself that my hair is just hair but it’s not!
your hair looks really gorgeous shrunken, and i think it looks really gorgeous cut. i also really admire your personality. i’ve only seen like 3 of your videos but you’ve already made an impact on my mental health and trying to be more positive. i still really struggle but i want to thank you. and your commenters. the people in your comments are truly amazing and beautiful people from what i’ve gleaned so far
I LOVE your channel it has become my new favorite. I have been called weird and nerdy and not “black” enough my whole life. It’s nice to see someone can relate. I don’t have 4c hair but I LOVE the fluff nugget!!! And I think 4c hair is really pretty. Keep being awesome and weird!
I totally get it. 4c hair is a struggle. I just put in a protective style and leave it alone
Ugh its so rare to find a stylist that's this nice and patient! You've hit the gold mine with her! She's a dope professional stylist! And she won't trying to cut ya BALD!
She was a very attentative stylist and met your needs. She wasn't trying to do what she wanted to do like most stylist do. I love it and your hair looks great and healthy!
The face Constance made when you said you didn't do wash and go's because your hair was kinky?...me
First of all...I love you Star Puppy and Fluff Nugget is gonna be okay. Yiu did the RIGHT thing bu going to a peofessional!!! I agree with her about Wash and Gos! It's less manipulation, less damaging. You can concentrate on maintaining moisture and hydration. It's a misnomer that 4Cs can't wear WNGs. You just have to find the right products for YOUR hair. You'll need to work with your hair SATURATED in water.
Your hair looks wonderful and the stylist was AMAZING. She listened to you, gave you what you wanted/needed and treated you and your hair with care and respect.🙂
I hate when people say, "It's just hair, it'll grow back." For me, my hair is a big part of my identity because of all the stuff I had to go through because of it. I'm so proud of you for letting go. I completely understand how hard that can be 💕 You are so beautiful and your hair will thank you in the long run for putting it first ☺
🤣🤣🤣 you would hate me then. I used to cut my hair flat every few months and people could not understand why. I always replied, it's just hair. Not it's mid back and I was thinking of cutting it again.
you dont care cause your hair grows like it’s nothing. Not everyone keeps their length like that
Your new shape suits you so well! You look beautiful girl!!
When you gotta sing to gain courage! 😂👏🏾 it’s real!! I wish I could find a place in DFW that did natural hair. If anyone has any suggestions! But I love Fluffnuggets new cut. She is beautiful and you are too!
I know a good person in San Antonio and I go to them every once in a while . I live in Dallas
@@taicarter1381 who!!??? I live in SA now and would love to know!
Look up silked_by_sonnie on Instagram. She is a hair stylist in Dallas...specializes in natural hair. Her clients hair always look beautiful, and she does ALL hair types. I'm pretty good with styling/ taking care of my natural hair. I've gotten it to grow past shoulder length, but I still plan to go see her soon!
kirieltee her name is Shian Jones. Just look up Shian’s Healthy Hair. She specializes in maintaining healthy natural hair but also does relaxed hair. She’s also a trichologist and works with hair loss and such. Really amazing woman with really amazing results. She’s located near 281 and bitters (?) road?
Same
Hairdresser was SO cool, her vibe is what we need all over the world: blunt, kind, and educated. Of course enjoying the adorable antics I subscribed for
When you called Fluff Nugget skinny legend... I-.... 🥺. It was so funny though... Thanks for sharing this cuz I definitely identified with your resistance to cut it. Proud of you 💕
Fluff Nugget will grow back!!! Even if the natural hair movement has been here for at least a decade, it's not easy for everyone to take care of their hair, especially 4C hair. Our hair is the most fragile yet it's most manipulated hair type.
very informative. she showed the breakage and explained heat damage vs. dry. fluff nugget will be back to her full glory in no time. i love your cut!
You should only use 2 or 3 products in your hair and let it be without touching it too much too....
What are your 2-3?
Is that including shampoo and conditioner? Cuz if that's so my hair needs a deep conditioner and leave in and shea butter and flax gel😥
I asume you're talking abt styling products
I'm pretty sure she means styling products because that's what is going to be staying in your hair. I use the TGIN leave in and that butter cream or whatever and seal it in with my ayuverda oil mix. Keeps my hair moistures for a week if I'm wearing it out. If im wearing it in natural braids then they stay moisturized for a little over two weeks.. keep it simple and you will see length
Not everyone has the same hair I need way more than 2 to 3😂
Honestly dani I respect you. Many people don’t understand the effort that put into our hair and don’t even try to understand.
It’s not just hair it’s you.
I wasn't expecting the ballad from Spirit but you delivered! Thank you for being so real throughout this whole process.
Why didn't she do the Wash & Go??😭 I wanted to see her technique on your 4C
Yes! I wanted to see it too!!
Cus she just blow dryed her hair to cut it.
Alexis Thomason watch chizi duru for a 4c wash n go
That stylist has such healing energy that I felt it through the video💖💖💖
I strongly recommend hair mayonnaise which is a protein treatment to help with breakage. And I know you use Jamaican castor oil but it’s seriously my ultimate holy grail and made my thick and healthy again. Also try rice water. I hope this helped 💗
Nice cut! I like that she dried your hair on cool and then added heat to your hair later( when needed). I also can't wait to see what regime she put you on! I personally think that the really good hairstylist put their customers on regimes according to their lifestyle. I am just so glad that you got a fresh cut and that you did not have heat damage to deal with. I am also glad that you found a stylist that knows how to handle tightly coiled kinky hair properly. I can't wait until you next video. I am so proud of you. You put a HUGH smile on my face today! Enjoy Fluffnugget in her shrunken and stretched state.😍 God bless your journey.
This stylist is amazing. Patient, really listening to you, giving you options??? Amazing work.
I grew up thinking no one watching Spirit but my family 😂😂 nice to know more people know about it! Also I love your videos! They let me know that it's okay to be myself and loving my hair is important! 💛💛
I've never done a wash and go either. And I also have those bits of broken off hair near my roots too. Star Puppy, you are like my spirit animal. In the words of my sister, I say IT WILL GROW!
You got this!!!! It's great that you had stylist that truly understands your beautiful hair, I can't wait to see your hair journey blossom :D
Wow what a big difference! I'm glad you were able to find a stylist Who didn't play you Salon PTSD is real
I love how comfortable you are in your own skin ❤️ you remind me of me if I had less social anxiety ❤️
I admire you making this video bc ur not one of those pictures perfect naturals who do a big chop and then BOOM waist length, you show the ups and down, the struggles and just how much TIME and energy to get HEALTHY HAIR ❤️❤️
Seeing you sad made me so emotional! You are so amazing, honestly your channel has inspired me so much and I know drawbacks suck but you will learn and be better next time. You are the greatest and the journey is called a journey for a reason!! Much love!! X
I've had to cut my hair many times....over the nearly 20 years of being natural. Your body changes...your scalp changes....your hair changes. I recently cut my hair down to a twa in december of 2018. Until I can figure out my hair and scalp issues, there is no point in trying to get it to grow long because the breakage is real. I completely understand the dry under-moisturize scalp and hair. I have to wet AND co-wash my hair EVERY SINGLE DAY. If I don't my hair is sahara level dry all the time. I can't wait to see if you can find something to work for your hair!
Try adding protein deep conditioner a little at a time
ManicMeeks if you’re wetting and co-washing your hair every day then your hair isn’t getting what it needs or your not moisturizing well or you should start on DIY products.
I think you’re drying your hair out by co-washing too much which could be causing damage at the roots or the ends.
If you’re anemic, start on iron supplements or eat foods rich in iron. Iron deficiency causes hair breakage at the roots and/or the ends.
May I suggest you find unrefined butters and oils that have fat, omega 3, 6, 9 and vitamins contained in those unrefined oils and butters?
Grape seed oil, Babassu oil, hemp seed oil, sesame seed oil, moringa oil, sea buckthorn oil, Ugandan Nilotica Shea butter, cupuacu, murumuru, mango butter, etc.
@@Rhys-Morgan I can't use oils in my hair. My scalp creates too much oil, but it doesn't reach the hair like its supposed to. Any oils based moisture will cause my scalp to itch and break out into hives. I have to wet my hair to comb it...period. Not mist it with water....or spray it with a bottle, but wet it and use a moisturizing conditioner or else my fingers can't make it through. I'm struggling with finding something that can keep my hair moisturized for more than a day.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Girl, please try an olive oil pre-poo (30 minutes at least). It changed my life!
Sis just apply a leave in conditioner then apply some grease😭it’ll work like a charm. Grease is the best sealant out there idk why black ppl stopped using grease 🙄
Definitely don't be afraid to cut your hair! Its so liberating to be able to chose to have long or short hair and feel beautiful both ways❤️
She was really an informative hairstylist👏🏾 meaning she explained what she was doing, why she was doing it, and gave you options. Good choice in stylist StarPuppy 😌
This video confirms all of the struggles I'm currently going through with my hair. The stress breakage and the dryness due to neglect. I'm now wearing my hair out and giving it all of the necessary attention it so desperately needs while in this quarantine.
You are so beautiful and talented! We have the same stress spot. Fluffnugget must feel so much better now. Your new shape is great. I suggest focus on developing an effective hair care regimen while you continue to battle shrinkage.
I was in this boat and prolonged a big chop because I was afraid but after I cut it off it was so liberating and my hair has grown back soooooo much healthier. StarPuppy don’t be sad and everything will work out beautifully in the end because you’re more than your hair.
So I had this same issue. WOW this video is crazy. It’s my life! I put some heat on my hair, it never recovered, being anemic it never recovered. It was so dry, so see through , about a month ago I cut it off. All of it. Now it’s growing how it should. I cowash, deep condition, use black castor oil, Shea butter and shiiiddd she is growing and soft as hell. Good luck on your journey!
It is just so scary to trust someone else on your head. You are such an open person, that this seemed more relaxed than any appointments I have had in the past. It took me forever to open up to my beautician which was also before my hair became...dragon like. And when I did start transitioning, I didn't go to anybody except my mom. I have thought about going to professionals but....scared.
I just cut 3-5 in off of my hair this week too. IT TAKES BRAVERYYYYY
I recommend Green Beauty she breaks down natural hair to it's Science. She amazing she even has 3D models to show examples.
Good luck girl, the journey can be long and hard.
you are so right. Learned a lot from Green beauty
I love you and fluffnugget. Routing for her recovery.
Day 2 big chopped hair. I gave up the damaged ends ( split and knots ). Length didn’t matter anymore. Best to cut ahead of the damage and regrow.
Hydration and moisturize daily or every other day. 💦
Omg, I can totally see how much better and healthier your hair looks as the cuts the raggedy ends off! Fluff Nugget is looking good!🥰😅
Your not alone love, my hair started breaking off the crown my hair is uneven. Love watching your channel thank you for blogging
I appreciate so much that you are honest in your videos, while maintaining a great sense of humor. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I love your energy star puppy! You are authentically you no matter what❤
Nothing is wrong with cutting off dead weight and damaged goods!!! It will come back!!!!! Fluff Nugget wants to
be happy again ❤️❤️❤️ She just needs more TLC. You’re going thru what I’ve gone through before. The lack of moisturization!!! I had to cut mine and now starting over with more hydration.
I honestly think it might be the wave and curl formers as well. Causing tension at the scalp
The two of you were a great team for Fluff Nugget! Woohoo 🙌
It's awesome to find a professional that can help and provide great advice! 😊
Love the shape! It looks much healthier. Please keep up with your trims so fluff nugget can thrive 💕
The power of a professional hairdresser giving you facts. My hair would die without a good hairdresser educating me. I don’t know how people can avoid them completely??
Love the shape ! In no time you'll see a difference. A lot of us are scare of trimming but sometime it's necessary !
I have start my natural hair journey this year, my hair is not 4c but I can relate to the struggle of not knowing what to do. I love how you seem happy but keeping it real with all of us, maybe thats why I can't stop watching your videos. I really love how you hair looks, you look so powerful with that, honestly, I envy that fierce of yours. Greetings from Panamá.
I could cry, oh my gosh, everything you spoke about is where I've been this past year and a half. I let some lady at a salon tell me she needed to blow my hair out to trim it. She had the heat on so high i saw smoke and my hair just continued to fall apart after that. I finally cut it last month and i'm so happy I did, it was heard because i didn't want to let my length go, but now my hair is so healthy
I hope you do eventually get around to trying a wash n go on your hair. So many people seem to think that 4c hair can't do it, but it absolutely can, and once you get the technique right it looks absolutely beautiful! I am also 4c and went right years before ever really trying it properly. Now that I have figured out what works, it has become one of my favourite ways to Wear my hair, because of how beautiful it looks and how freeing it feels. Especially since you have a new shape that compliments your face, it will definitely look bomb!
Any 4c friends who have attempted and failed at wash n gos before, I encourage you to give it a couple more goes until you get the products and technique right. You will suprise yourself!
Your stylist is so professional and understanding!
This video is such a blessing right now, I'm in the exact same situation. And my hair just means so much to my journey and my identity...but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Im officially getting a trim. Thx for the inspo. ❤❤❤❤
The cut actually looks really good and your hair already has a fuller, healthier appearance. I know the struggle is real! I’ve been nursing my hair back to health as well and I know many of my issues stem from not maintaining a consistent regimen that keeps the hair moisturized.
I felt this video Daniel it’s so frustrating to have to let go but we are here for you and I adore your channel you’re such an awesome person I’ve been fighting with my hair for eons it feels like I’ve cut my hair seventy million times I’m praying it’s growing fail so good luck babe I feel like we are friends and i don’t even know ya ❤️
I really hope you read this....Looking at your regimen you should scrap those wave formers. They are not locking in your moisture after wash day and they aren’t stretching your ends properly. You may also have protein overload. Try Using protein free products and see how it works for you. Switch the oils for a pure shea butter as a sealant, it will dissolve slower on your fine stands. When you moisturize or LOC you need to take your time and do each section you plan on braiding up from ROOT to tip. LOC should be done on EACH braid or twist. I noticed you just nourish large quadrants then section and only hit the ends. Go heavier on the butter for the ends. Also get a good detangling brush! The Finger detangling isn’t distributing the products and smoothing out your hair. I wish you luck on your hair journey. We wanna see you win!!!! 😌😍
Girl, you're preaching. I let my hair go for about a year because I was depressed and just didn't feel like it mattered. I cut some a few months ago during a bad detangling sessions and it was a wake up call. It did help with growth, but it honestly hurt knowing how my hair was two years ago compared to now. But we recovering.
I had to cut my hair to shoulder length to make it healthy... My hair used to be up to my butt, CURLY. right now, without shrinkage it's at my waist but I can't wait until it's long enough to sit on again
Starlit Meadow how did you retain length so well?
@@JazzyFro I was super careful and i never did any super tight hair styles (I did simple braids or just kept my hair loose) and I always finger detangled. I also used hairmasks and proteins treatments on a schedule, and I made sure my diet had the right vitamins for hair growth. I didn't take multivitamins tho. And I also did lots of scalp massages!
Everything you say, I was relating to so horribly and heavily. Thank you for being transparent about this! I've been holding back on letting go of my hair, as I know because of my issues, I need to shave off the sides as a last ditch effort to not uhhh tear my scalp out! But also, I never got a trim. I wanted long, healthy, kinky hair for so long, and I wore braids in and out for YEARS to get to the length I have now. And sometimes I love it. But then I realise the bad breaks of the life I have chosen for this head of mine and she deserves better! And me in conjunction probably.
I ramble! Anyways, this has been amazing. I'm glad you were able to get an evaluation :'^) you and fluffnugget are onto new, great and lovely straits!!!
Length doesn't define beauty of your hair. Everybody hair grows differently. My hair is natural and short. I love it!🥰 I had to cut mine also from relaxers and heat damage. My hair has never been long even back when it-was Healthy and natural. I embrace my hair no matter the length. The main goal is health like you said. What ppl mean by just hair is that take care of and it will come back😉. Lol its not like losing a limb that will never return. Long or short love it regardless! 😘
Ow dear you are absolutely gorgeous with or without hair and your voice OMG 😍😍😍 just know we love you 💗💗💗
She's a good hairstylist, she's engaging in conversation with you and she's letting you know each step as to what she's doing with your hair. At times without you even asking her questions...
If I can make a recommendation, as a 4b/4c when I realized my hair have grown stagnant and breakage and knots were prevalent i switched to 100% pure castor oil and 100% pure aloe vera gel and it has worked wonders, I could use a professional trim as well but my breakage went from medium clump of hair in wash day to a few strands, It worked sooo well and my nails grew stronger as well.
Your energy is just awesome.
That what make her MORE pretty to me.
Girl ur channel is EVERYTHING! Where were u when i was growing up (I’m older than u)?! So entertaining, i really hope u continue to do this in ur own authentic way. Also, if u decide to grow ur hair out....seamoss is a game changer...and so are mini twists.
Wow looking at the pics you inserted at the beginning, I could see why you were trying to hold onto the ends, but there is hope! With the dead/split ends gone the growth will come!
Also, taliah wajjid is amazing for my 4b 4c hair. Definition without the crunch of gel. My favorite is the curling cream
Your stylist is so sweet!
Last summer my hair and nails were strong and lovely. This summer my nails started breaking then my hair.....I just chopped it all off to 2 inches front and mohawk sides and back.....I have coloured it 3 times now and gonna do another next week (nothing to lose - happy to go cut it off if it goes wrong); will braid during winter then start a regrowth next year.
All my friends didn't want me to cut...now I am Grace Jones ....got people stopping me on the street....
I loveeee touching my bald scalp....it's been so long I felt it and now remember what my skull shape feels like.....love it.
I can have extra sleep and no wash day......so good.
Real talk though, bad relationships can ruin your hair. Happened to me lol
