I just did a big chop and I’m on a natural journey! I’ve been a hairstylist for 20+ years and I’m learning that all of that stuff isn’t for us. Quickweaves, ponytails, braids, press and curls, relaxers and more. I was very good at what I did but one thing I am not good at is managing my natural hair. What a discredit to who I really am. So my journey has begun and I just may be taking my beauty business in a completely natural direction. All glory to the Most High and thanks be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ❤️ Thanks for this video! I’m all for the two strand twist! #newsubscriber
Starting a natural hair salon that can actually care for and grow out type for hair will be an amazing achievement. You should really think about it. Plus a lot of people will become your new clients. I want to believe that most type 4 women would like to grow their hair long. They just don't believe it's possible for them. Or they're worried about the amount of work and effort that goes into it. A lot of people would rather leave it to they're hair stylist.
Thank you Gloria💖 this is something I've been thinking about for awhile. I may just take that jump and get my cosmetology license and open my natural hair salon. I truly appreciate comments like this that speaks life into me.
Glory to Jesus. A year later, your comment is confirmation to my journey. I’m also a cosmetologist who never properly cared for my hair. God put me on this journey of not wearing weave and taking care of my skin… embracing what He gave me. I had to be obedient after realizing I needed to take care of myself before I care for anyone else’s. I’m on maternity leave and won’t be doing anyone’s hair or makeup but my own.
It took me about an hour and I left them in for 1 week. Now if I do smaller twists I leave them in for 2 weeks and re-do the front section by the end of the first week. I did a video on how I maintain my twists check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/G5lI2Jsykr0/v-deo.html
It always fascinating to see people wash their natural hair weekly, I guess my hair can’t handle it because when I stretch my washes to one month I see more growth retention.
I totally understand. With my girls I have to wash their hair every 2 weeks and it also helps with length retention. Their hair can't handle the weekly washes either.
@@ephodza mines too. When I go longer than a week without washing my hair my scalp be like girl what you doing!!! Lol it has gotten use to weekly washes.
God truly answers prayers! I was wondering if it was just me or does anyone else's hair not do well with weekly/biweekly washing. I'm going on a month without washing my natural hair and it's "now" past shoulder length. I was trying the weekly route but my hair absolutely wouldn't grow! I think once a month is a win for me.
This is literally EXACTLY what I use to do to my hair and it was to the middle of my back. Then I started coloring and being lazy and my hair is unrecognizable. Thank you for posting this!! Giving me motivation to get back to my roots 💜
Wearing my hair in twists is my favorite...I wear my hair in twists so much people tend to ask or even assume my hair is "locd"...I actually went on a loc journey September 2020 and I combed it out last month(April2022), I started my locs with really short hair, like barely a twa and now my hair touches my shoulders...right now I'm wearing my hair in twists,and that's how I intend to rock my hair always. I hate to stress over hair. 😃
I totally agree about learning to properly care & maintain our natural hair for ourselves. I remember a friend telling me she noticed how gentle I was with my hair. She said I knew how to pamper my hair. She always wanted me to take care of her hair. I’ve also noticed that we have put a lot of trust in hair stylist/braiders. Only to find out that some of them lack the knowledge about natural hair care. I’m so grateful that I have two daughters because now I know so much about our hair. Great content. Thanks!
Wonderful video! My hair is very thin, uneven, dry, damaged with thin edges. I started my twisting journey yesterday. Sectioned my hair in small flat twists with water and grease. When I was done my scalp and hair felt so good like it was saying thank you. It feels so good and moisturized. I’m so excited to see the process of my hair in a year.
Tried it and it works my wash day was a breeze but trying to stretch the wash days to every three weeks. But will keep it moisturized up to wash day. I am in love with my 4c hair and she knows it. Got to keep my hands and fingers out of my head, the moisture on my hands need to stay on my hair😂Thanks for sharing
You are gorgeous. Your hair is beautiful and healthy. You're right. SOME hairstylist and most professional braiders don't know or don't care about the health of your hair. If they did, there would not be so many women with traction alopecia and bald edges.
I loved the hair tips! I totally agree with not letting anyone who don't know you and your hair, do anything with your hair. Alot of those so called stylist don't know anything about the health of hair. They are doing it for the money! I have learnt well!
Your hair is absolutely beautiful. Looks very healthy. It's very refreshing finding youtubers that I can relate to while being new on this platform. Nice video hun 🇯🇲🙌🏾
Paige I just wanted to tell you, Girl thanks so VERY much!!!!!! You saved my hair. I learned from you to apply oil to my hair first and cover with a plastic cap before shampooing and I noticed afterwards that I had so much less shedding! And that means more length retention! Also twisting my hair before shampooing and deep conditioning, so much less tangles! Thanks so very much! 😍
Paige, you are absolutely correct when you said you know your hair better than anyone. I have been doing my hair myself for almost a year now, it looks better and feels better. You have to take time with your hair, with videos like this, my hair is doing just fine. Keep these videos coming.
This video was extremely helpful!! Thank you so much Paige!!!! I did the “big chop” 2yrs ago when COVID started and now my hair is shoulder length!! Nonetheless, I’m definitely hoping to continue to grow my hair in the most healthiest way possible. I’m also trying my best to learn tension free hairstyles from other natural beauties!! Thanks again Paige!!
You are very welcome and I'm so glad that you found this video helpful 💖💖💖. This coming September will make me 2 years natural since my big chop and I'm so excited. I'm loving this journey 🥰
I finally realized that wearing twist is the best style for my fine High porosity hair because it's not damaging or pulling my hair so yes I definitely rock my twist. Also doing your hair while mad or irritated will definitely damage it. I yanked and pulled on my hair one night when taking down my braids I know I pulled alot of my hair out. I'll never do that again!!!
Yes twists are perfect for length retention. And I know what you mean about being irritable. That's why I avoid doing my hair when I'm mentally not there.
@@GlowupwithPaige yesss I was tired and irritated and I wanted my braids out that night because I didn't want to wait until the next day. I got so mad because the braided hair was tangled up in my hair I literally pulled the knots apart. I had never done this before and I told myself I would never do it again!!!
I kept my hair in twist before I loc'd. Once every 10 days 1. aloe pre poo with steam add in hot oil treat while under the steamer 2. Rinse 3. Shampoo 4. Condition 5. Hair mask while steaming 6. Slight rinse 7. Follow the loc method twist.
We have the exact same routine. And this is my second big chop and I’ve the same length hair now as I did when I was FOUR YEARS post my first big chop. Deep conditioning weekly was my game changer but I also learnt moisture protein balance now. So I alternate between a moisture deep conditioner and a protein deep conditioner and I, too, deep condition with heat. I really enjoyed your video and wish you all the best on your hair journey.
Oh my goodness yes! I use shears only for the knots that I do but I literally do my own hair as well. Since I am a young man, I always had a low cut hair style and I decided I wanted to go on this journey to learn more about me and my body. In fact, I don't even show my hair anymore to society. I cover my head either with my bonnet when I do not feel like making an African Head Tie Style that covers my entire hair. I am thankful for the journey and my twists look a mess but I will keep getting better. Its all in time and I believe it is my journey that I owe myself to go on. :)
Your hair is very pretty; I have similar texture and recently did a big chop to get my hair healthy again. Glad to find someone on UA-cam with the same texture.
My cousin did the same thing 10 years ago and her hair looked like yours..thick and juicy. I went natural 20 years before her and she caught up and passed me in length, lol.My hair fine, and easy to break, and too scalpy to wear out if in twists if I'm at work, although I love twists and plain ole plaits without extensions.
@@aduseiberlinda6057 most of the time her hair is in twists and her wash day is done every 2 weeks. This works for her hair type which helps her to retain a lot of length.
Hey Babe I love your suggestions for growing healthy hair..I especially like your comments about being gentle with your hair and my all time Favorite is NEVER do your hair if your stressed or other with negative energy. All these things really MATTER!!! Thanks
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. 🙏🏽 I'm resetting my current hair routine and you have the same texture and thickness as I do. All you're doing is so simple and that's what I'm looking for. Again, thank you so much. 💖
Thank you for your video. I have been natural for seven years. I will follow your routine of washing and conditioning my hair. They are very simple and cheap. What kind of bonnet you use? Thank you so much for the tips. Love it❤👏👏
Very very true about trust issues with doing your own hair and the energy ✨ Only oneself would truly care for their own hair. I'm happy to see your transformation of the twists as I am approaching the 8th month mark tomorrow after a buzz cut in May 2021. It was difficult but now can maintain my hair in a stylish way and in twists until it's at the desired length. Thanks Paige ✨
GIRLLL!!!!! YOUR HAIR THOUGH!!!!!😍😍😍😍 I can relate to your tip #6! If there is nothing I learned about my hair, for sure it was doing it while I am relaxed. My hair has grown like crazyyyyy since I started incorporating that single factor this year around April. Our hair will respond to love so we have to be patient and gentle with it. I really love all your tips. I can relate to every one of them. Thank you for sharing!
I so appreciate this video. I've been going through some personal problems and you mentioned stress. I believe that has caused my hair to break off You said don't do your hair when you're frustrated and stressed out. I found myself being rough with my hair because of it. I'm trying to get my hair back so bad. I'll definitely try your suggestions. Thank You 😊
You have beautiful healthy hair 💕I started two strand twisting my granddaughter hair to start her hair growth. Your video is confirmation from the Most High I am going in the right direction. I will start moisturizing her hair with extra virgin olive oil and water before washing. Thanks for the great tips!! 🙏🏾💕
If I’m not mistaken 🇧🇸👀😂 but I loved the video! It was refreshing to hear a familiar accent talk about their natural hair and I agree with all the points you gave. You got this girl!
Paige, to me you have the BEST page. I love how you come clean and keep things very simple and to the point. I''m from Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn New York. The home of the Notorious BIG. Thank you for your services Queen Sister.
I agree with you about letting people in your hair I loved African braiding but they like 3 people in your hair at one time that I couldn't take anymore now I just do my own and get wigs thanks for the video and I hope your baby is blessed and the rest of your family thanks again
Paige, your amazing. I watched your video early this morning. I promised myself that I was going to comment before going to bed. Thank Paige. I needed this video. Thank you for mentioning to not do my hair if I'm stressed. Lately, I've been going through it. Work, home and in the streets. My hair has been shedding like crazy. I just deep conditioned my hair and twisted it up. I'll definitely be ordering one of those bonnet's. Thank you! This song choice was beautiful. Thank you so much! I've been natural for 4 years now. My hair use to be thick and healthy. I'll get it back healthy. I'm looking forward to more videos from you Paige. God bless! -Toni
Hey Toni thank you so much for your comment and I'm so grateful you found it helpful. I can totally relate about doing your hair while stressed out, I'm never gentle and always in a rush so I try to avoid doing it when I'm not in the mood. I hope that you're able to get your hair in the best of health. Good luck💖💖
@@GlowupwithPaige LOL. I HAD TO DO IT OVER AGAIN TODAY BECAUSE I DID A WASH AND GO YESTERDAY AND USED GEL. I LOOK AT THAT WASH AND GO AND SAID, "IM DONE" SO I TWISTED IT, AND IT FLAKED ON ME BECAUSE OF THE GEL. SO I DID IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I USED GREASE AND MY TWISTING BUTTER, AND SO FAR, IT'S NOT BAD AT ALL. IM COMING OUT OF A VERY SHORT CUT, SO THE BACK HARD TO TWIST.
Hi, Paige. Just found you today! I love your tips! Will these tips work regardless of age. I admit, sadly, to having dried-out, crispy hair that "doesn't grow", probably because I'm NOT doing any of these things you describe. I think I'll try your method: it makes a lot of sense! And you and your daughters have BEAUTIFUL hair! Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family!
Hi Ms. Patsy yes you can use this video as a guide to help build a routine. Our natural hair is naturally dry so we have to constantly keep our hair moisturized to avoid it from breaking off. Start with a basic routine until you're able to fully understand what your hair needs. Shampoo, deep condition, moisturized + seal then style. Remember to keep your hair moisturized throughout the week. And thank you so much for your sweet comment💖💖
Thank you for sharing, 😍 I have trouble growing my hair and I really didn't know how or what I can do to grow my hair. I really like the thickness and length of your hair, this is exactly what I needed to know. Now I can begin my journey to a healthier and longer head of natural hair 🙂👍🏽👊🏽
My story: I'd been back and forth between relaxed and natural for years. One day I finally decided to do the big chop. I'm about 9 months natural and have been moisturizing on the regular, I've been mainly keeping it braided and in twists. When I'm letting it rest, I''' put a wig on it. I try not to manipulate it too much. I have box braids in now. I'm pushing it with 3 months, but I'm going out of town for the weekend so I plan on taking them down when I get back home and doing a length check. I also have been documenting my journey and taking pictures. I've never done that before so I'm super excited to check out the progress.
Thanks for sharing your story💖 continue to document your journey so that you can look back and see how much it has grown. I wish you all the best on your healthy hair journey💖💖
@@GlowupwithPaige Thanks so much! The growth is remarkable. I'm not even a full year out and my hair is roughly at my neck. That's without straightening or stretching. Thank you for your videos!
Yesss! I love this!! You are absolutely right. When I’m tired i notice I’m rough with my hair because I’m rushing. Also i don’t let anyone touch my hair!! I wash and condition my hair weekly I also live in humid Florida lol so going longer than a week 🤢. I also take multi vitamins and biotin ❤
Thanks😊💖💖 I try to avoid doing my hair when I’m stressed or not in the mood. It does more damage than good and I can totally relate to the humid weather.
I want to try twists and mini braids my hair is short so it might look a little crazy lol. Another thing I noticed is diet and drinking water also makes a huge difference
lol yess I can totally relate to that stage when my hair was much shorter but do what makes you feel comfortable and you are right about diet and water intake!
Hi sister sister, My hair is natural now problem 1. One side longer than the other side. Due COVID-19 I will not go hairdressers for my hair. I listen to you, and what you say makes sense. I will moisture my hair more often, and try to wash 1x every week. My hair is like a coil, very wavy a mixture of two kinds of hair. Oh I’m Loving your hair,you working it girl.
incredible video. this was the wake up I needed to get back onto my natural hair regimen! I've been slacking due to life and school, but its been showing as I have a bit of recent breakage happening. my hair has come so long so lol I need to get back on it! your hair is absolutely beautiful and so healthy, thank you for this!🥰❤️
Thanks for this marvelous video☺️✨✨You mentioned two very important points which touched my heart. Don’t misunderstood me all of your points are very important. But those two which touched me was first never do you hair if your stressed out or don’t have time. Secondly do not let everyone does your hair bc of their energy -> That’s why I will watch out who I will let on my head and try to do my hair on my own🙏🏾💯🌸
@@GlowupwithPaige thanks much. Very informative. I would love to learn more about deep conditioning vs. Oiling the scalp with oil/water. I realize my girls hair can be quite dry and I really want them to maintain the quality hair they have been gifted with. Can you refer me to some hair moisturizers for my eight year old girls
I wash usually twice a week, but at the least once a week.. I wear only wash and go's, so my hair routine is super simple.. About 1.5hr start to finish including my time under the dryer.. I just recently had to big chop after 7yrs of "protective styling".. Because my hair was so damaged and dry from said styling.. I went to a kinky curly stylist for my chop so that I'd have the right shape for my fresh start.. I'm only about 2months since my chop, and can already see so much growth.. My hair just always grown pretty fast, but now with watering it so often.. I seems to be growing at the fastest I've ever seen, or noticed.. I love these tips, and being we do all were our hair in so many different ways, and set different expectations.. It only makes sense we would all do different regimens for what works best for our hair and lifestyles.. Happy to be a new sub...
Hey Chiquita I'm so glad to hear how your hair is thriving since your big chop. I always like to think of our natural hair as a plant🌴, the more we water it 💦the more it will stay moisturized and grow. Dry hair breaks. Thank you so much for being apart of the fam. We are more than happy to have you here ☺💖
This was so helpful. I jotted the steps down. I just recently started wear my hair this way. I normally had easy to manage curly hair. Now it’s changed. I am hoping these will help me get my hair back to normal . I filled my little sprayed bottle with extra virgin oil to begin using. I’m thinking I’ve been using too many different products in my hair. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and I'm so glad you found this helpful 😊💖 Remember to keep it simple and be consistent. I wish you all the best on your healthy hair journey 💖
Your hair is so thick and healthy looking. I wanted to let you know I did a video last month on my journey from twa to waist length natural grey hair. I hope you can watch it.
I did not do a big chop which I regret because I basically let my hair break off then cut it. It has been 19 years and I still haven't achieved the length I want. Of course when I started none of the products that exist today existed then. But I am ready for more length retention.
Yes a lot has changed over the years with so many brands creating natural hair products for us. Remember to keep it simple and be consistent with your hair routine, the growth will come. Wish you the best on your healthy hair journey 💖💖
Thank you so much. All tips were excellent. I basically do same. Natural since 2012. Hair was inch below bra, but I just cut about 4 inches. Like you, I'm not a fan of salons. That heat is the pits FOR ME. I go to a Dominican for color only (I bring my own Natural Instinct rinse) and go home wet (shower cap and ski cap) then apply my products and braid or twist. Works for me. 😃👌🏾
These tips were wayyy better than the typical ho-hum “how I grew my natural hair” same tired tips we always see 😂. Especially don’t do your hair in a bad mood. Who among us hasn’t been there? 😂 Sissss, that was worth the price of admission right there. I’m 9 months post-relaxer transitioning back to natural. Glad too have found your channel today *new subbie!
When I returned natural, I didn’t do the big chop @ all. I jus mostly wore protective styles to grow out the perm. Although, it wasn’t easy, I was still patient with my hair
I'm so glad I found your video. Great info. My hair appears to be the same type. Your info and product list so simple and inexpensive. So many videos that I've watched have along drown out process, expensive products (just too much). Thank you
I am trying trying trying. Now I am washing every two weeks and leaving my hair alone. Will try prepping my hair a day before cuz on wash day I am fed up!!
Great video your hair is beautiful! Are you a Bahamian? Also did you do protective styles, like crochet etc. to give your hair a chance to really grow?
I think I'm your 1000th subscriber
Yaaaaay thank you so much Nickose. I'm going to save this comment 🥰🎉🎉🎉💃💃 Welcome to the fam💞💞. My hard work paid off!

Yess I know what you mean. I love me some twists
How long did the twist take to do? How long did you leave them in before re-doing? I don't want locs I just want two strand twist.

Thank you soo much💖💖😊
I kept my hair in twist before I loc'd. Once every 10 days
1. aloe pre poo with steam add in hot oil treat while under the steamer
2. Rinse
3. Shampoo
4. Condition
5. Hair mask while steaming
6. Slight rinse
7. Follow the loc method twist.
This is so similar to what I do. Love it!☺️👍
You should always do your hair treatments before conditioning.
Once you condition your hair, it seals your cuticles so nothing will enter.
We have the exact same routine. And this is my second big chop and I’ve the same length hair now as I did when I was FOUR YEARS post my first big chop. Deep conditioning weekly was my game changer but I also learnt moisture protein balance now. So I alternate between a moisture deep conditioner and a protein deep conditioner and I, too, deep condition with heat. I really enjoyed your video and wish you all the best on your hair journey.
Thank you soo much💖💖 and you're so right about that moisture protein balance. Thanks for sharing that tip😊
I agree my hair is growing so much by protective styles!
Oh my goodness yes! I use shears only for the knots that I do but I literally do my own hair as well. Since I am a young man, I always had a low cut hair style and I decided I wanted to go on this journey to learn more about me and my body. In fact, I don't even show my hair anymore to society. I cover my head either with my bonnet when I do not feel like making an African Head Tie Style that covers my entire hair. I am thankful for the journey and my twists look a mess but I will keep getting better. Its all in time and I believe it is my journey that I owe myself to go on. :)
Yess. Twists are my go to style.
@@alexanderivory-brown118 Yess it's a beautiful journey. I absolutely love embracing my natural hair.
My toddler has 3C curls and I'm trying to learn all about it! Thank you for your tips
You're welcome and good job mom on learning to take care of your child's hair 👍💖💖
Your hair is very pretty; I have similar texture and recently did a big chop to get my hair healthy again. Glad to find someone on UA-cam with the same texture.
Hey Bianca thank you so much 💞😊 and welcome glad to have you here💖
My cousin did the same thing 10 years ago and her hair looked like yours..thick and juicy. I went natural 20 years before her and she caught up and passed me in length, lol.My hair fine, and easy to break, and too scalpy to wear out if in twists if I'm at work, although I love twists and plain ole plaits without extensions.
Lol my youngest daughter hair is fine as well and very easy to break so I know what you mean.
@@GlowupwithPaige how do you deal with such hairs
Mine is same
@@aduseiberlinda6057 most of the time her hair is in twists and her wash day is done every 2 weeks. This works for her hair type which helps her to retain a lot of length.
@@GlowupwithPaige thanks
Hi! Thank you so much for helping me! May the Lord 💗 continue to bless such an awesome person like you!
Hey you’re welcome and thank you 😊💖💖
This video was beautiful and genius! I love to see gentle type 4 hair care. So soothing and fun to watch while I twist my hair down for the night lol!
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching💖💖 I also like to do the same lol
Hey Babe I love your suggestions for growing healthy hair..I especially like your comments about being gentle with your hair and my all time Favorite is NEVER do your hair if your stressed or other with negative energy. All these things really MATTER!!! Thanks
Thank you so much Kim and yess they do matter ❤️
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. 🙏🏽 I'm resetting my current hair routine and you have the same texture and thickness as I do. All you're doing is so simple and that's what I'm looking for. Again, thank you so much. 💖
You are very much welcome Renee💖💖. I try to keep my hair routine very simple.
Thank you for your video. I have been natural for seven years. I will follow your routine of washing and conditioning my hair. They are very simple and cheap. What kind of bonnet you use? Thank you so much for the tips. Love it❤👏👏
I had to subscribe to you. We have the same belief on hair and energy. I have not let anyone touch my hair in over 15 years. Thank You
Welcome to the family 💖💖 and yess energy is so real!
So grateful for the video, thanks for sharing. I just did a big chop: I really like the tip about using heat every time when you deep condition.
Thank you so much💖💖
Very very true about trust issues with doing your own hair and the energy ✨ Only oneself would truly care for their own hair.
I'm happy to see your transformation of the twists as I am approaching the 8th month mark tomorrow after a buzz cut in May 2021. It was difficult but now can maintain my hair in a stylish way and in twists until it's at the desired length. Thanks Paige ✨
I'm so grateful you found the video helpful AJ 💖💖 and you're very welcome ☺️
GIRLLL!!!!! YOUR HAIR THOUGH!!!!!😍😍😍😍 I can relate to your tip #6! If there is nothing I learned about my hair, for sure it was doing it while I am relaxed. My hair has grown like crazyyyyy since I started incorporating that single factor this year around April. Our hair will respond to love so we have to be patient and gentle with it. I really love all your tips. I can relate to every one of them. Thank you for sharing!
Yes you are soo right about our hair responding to love. I'm so grateful you found my video helpful 💖💖😊
Such lovely healthy hair and simple routine. I also loved that you used twists to grow out your hair!
Thank you😊❤️ yess the twists are my go-to style.
My hair routine is so similar to yours. WOW!!!
Awesome💖💖
Thank you so much for the words of wisdom regarding natural hair. I have been natural since late 2018 and still learning on how to take care of it.
You are more than welcome and each day I am still learning myself. Never stop learning about your hair 💖💖
I so appreciate this video.
I've been going through some personal problems and you mentioned stress.
I believe that has caused my hair to break off
You said don't do your hair when you're frustrated and stressed out. I found myself being rough with my hair because of it.
I'm trying to get my hair back so bad.
I'll definitely try your suggestions.
Thank You 😊
You’re so welcome hun💖💖 Yess I try not to do my hair when I’m stressed. I noticed that I’m extremely rough and cause unnecessary breakage.
You have beautiful healthy hair 💕I started two strand twisting my granddaughter hair to start her hair growth. Your video is confirmation from the Most High I am going in the right direction. I will start moisturizing her hair with extra virgin olive oil and water before washing. Thanks for the great tips!! 🙏🏾💕
Thank you so much and you are more than welcome ☺️💖💖💖
I love how your video is so direct and honest
Thank you Wendy💖💖
Proud of you! Nice to see this coming from the Bahamas 🇧🇸 242 to the world 🙏
Hey girl👋 thanks a bunch #242baby💖💖😘
6:25 I love this advice because it’s so true when I’m stressed I definitely yank at my hair more which isn’t good 😭
Yup me too. I try to avoid doing my hair when I’m stressed or not in the mood.
Thank you for your suggestions. I just started my natural hair journey and have been watching a lot of videos and getting information and suggestions.
You're welcome and I'm so glad you are getting the information you need💖😊
If I’m not mistaken 🇧🇸👀😂 but I loved the video! It was refreshing to hear a familiar accent talk about their natural hair and I agree with all the points you gave. You got this girl!
Hey Jada 242 all day!!! And thank you so much💖💖💖
I agree 🇧🇸

Aww thank you so much 💖💖
Thank you for the video!!! I just did a big chop of my locs after 5 years. Back to my twist outs and I am so excited!!
I'm so excited for you💖💖 I wish you well on your natural hair journey 😉
love this! I noticed I have basically no shedding since keeping my hair in twists!
Yup it works that's why I love doing twists.
I agree with you about letting people in your hair I loved African braiding but they like 3 people in your hair at one time that I couldn't take anymore now I just do my own and get wigs thanks for the video and I hope your baby is blessed and the rest of your family thanks again
Hey Andrea thank you soo much💖💖
Energy and Universe are Real when it comes to your hair…do your own!!!!!!

Thank you for these tips. I'm learning to love my natural hair.
You're welcome 💖😊
One of the best videos out there! Love it.
Aww thank you so much 🥰💖💖
Paige, your amazing. I watched your video early this morning. I promised myself that I was going to comment before going to bed.
Thank Paige. I needed this video. Thank you for mentioning to not do my hair if I'm stressed.
Lately, I've been going through it. Work, home and in the streets. My hair has been shedding like crazy.
I just deep conditioned my hair and twisted it up. I'll definitely be ordering one of those bonnet's. Thank you!
This song choice was beautiful. Thank you so much!
I've been natural for 4 years now. My hair use to be thick and healthy. I'll get it back healthy. I'm looking forward to more videos from you Paige.
God bless!
-Toni
Hey Toni thank you so much for your comment and I'm so grateful you found it helpful. I can totally relate about doing your hair while stressed out, I'm never gentle and always in a rush so I try to avoid doing it when I'm not in the mood. I hope that you're able to get your hair in the best of health. Good luck💖💖
I'm very late coming to you, lol. Im currently growing out my hair using twist, and you gave me the tips I already had in mind to do, so thank you
Awesome! That means we're both on the right track and you're welcome 💖💖
@@GlowupwithPaige LOL. I HAD TO DO IT OVER AGAIN TODAY BECAUSE I DID A WASH AND GO YESTERDAY AND USED GEL. I LOOK AT THAT WASH AND GO AND SAID, "IM DONE" SO I TWISTED IT, AND IT FLAKED ON ME BECAUSE OF THE GEL. SO I DID IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I USED GREASE AND MY TWISTING BUTTER, AND SO FAR, IT'S NOT BAD AT ALL. IM COMING OUT OF A VERY SHORT CUT, SO THE BACK HARD TO TWIST.
Great natural hair video,great tips and information.Illustrated with your lovely hair💁🏽♀️
Thank you so much Sandra💗💗
Hi, Paige. Just found you today! I love your tips! Will these tips work regardless of age. I admit, sadly, to having dried-out, crispy hair that "doesn't grow", probably because I'm NOT doing any of these things you describe. I think I'll try your method: it makes a lot of sense! And you and your daughters have BEAUTIFUL hair! Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family!
Hi Ms. Patsy yes you can use this video as a guide to help build a routine. Our natural hair is naturally dry so we have to constantly keep our hair moisturized to avoid it from breaking off. Start with a basic routine until you're able to fully understand what your hair needs.
Shampoo, deep condition, moisturized + seal then style. Remember to keep your hair moisturized throughout the week. And thank you so much for your sweet comment💖💖
@@GlowupwithPaige Thank you, Paige!
@@patsyruth7860 you're welcome 😊
I all so do twist in my hair to help it grow it helps me a lot and helps to my hair from knoting up thank you for your tips❤️
You're welcome 💖💖 and yess the twists really helps.
Always adorable to see your mini's getting styled but I have been missing mama showing off her style. Thick and pretty curls 💖
This weekend I'm dropping a new video stay tuned 😉👍
🤚🏾 first time tuning in. Working on getting my hair healthy. I don’t know wat type of hair I have. Enjoy the video. Ty for the hair tips
Heyy welcome! So glad to have you here and thank you. I wish you nothing but the best on your healthy hair journey😊💖💖💖
Incredible video Paige, you're so genuine and true. Thanks for your edification. God bless you.. 🙌 lovely head of hair by the way...love
Aww thank you so much 💖💖
Thank you for sharing, 😍
I have trouble growing my hair and I really didn't know how or what I can do to grow my hair. I really like the thickness and length of your hair, this is exactly what I needed to know. Now I can begin my journey to a healthier and longer head of natural hair 🙂👍🏽👊🏽
You're welcome 💖💖 I wish you all the best on your healthy hair journey. Remember to be consistent with your routine to see results!
@@GlowupwithPaige I have a question...will this stop my hair from shedding if I'm consistent with my hair journey? 🙂
My story: I'd been back and forth between relaxed and natural for years. One day I finally decided to do the big chop. I'm about 9 months natural and have been moisturizing on the regular, I've been mainly keeping it braided and in twists. When I'm letting it rest, I''' put a wig on it. I try not to manipulate it too much. I have box braids in now. I'm pushing it with 3 months, but I'm going out of town for the weekend so I plan on taking them down when I get back home and doing a length check.
I also have been documenting my journey and taking pictures. I've never done that before so I'm super excited to check out the progress.
Thanks for sharing your story💖 continue to document your journey so that you can look back and see how much it has grown. I wish you all the best on your healthy hair journey💖💖
@@GlowupwithPaige Thanks so much! The growth is remarkable. I'm not even a full year out and my hair is roughly at my neck. That's without straightening or stretching. Thank you for your videos!
@angelictigerette wow that’s amazing and you’re welcome 💖💖
Yesss! I love this!! You are absolutely right. When I’m tired i notice I’m rough with my hair because I’m rushing. Also i don’t let anyone touch my hair!! I wash and condition my hair weekly I also live in humid Florida lol so going longer than a week 🤢. I also take multi vitamins and biotin ❤
Thanks😊💖💖 I try to avoid doing my hair when I’m stressed or not in the mood. It does more damage than good and I can totally relate to the humid weather.
I want to try twists and mini braids my hair is short so it might look a little crazy lol. Another thing I noticed is diet and drinking water also makes a huge difference
lol yess I can totally relate to that stage when my hair was much shorter but do what makes you feel comfortable and you are right about diet and water intake!
Thanks for the advice. I think my hair texture is the same as yours. Your twist out looks great!
Thank you so much 💖💖
Hi sister sister, My hair is natural now problem 1. One side longer than the other side. Due COVID-19 I will not go hairdressers for my hair. I listen to you, and what you say makes sense. I will moisture my hair more often, and try to wash 1x every week. My hair is like a coil, very wavy a mixture of two kinds of hair. Oh I’m Loving your hair,you working it girl.
Hey Sandra thank you so much. I'm so happy you found this video helpful 💞😊. With consistency you will see results like I did 😉
That comment about people with the bad energy ...hits hard👍🏾
Yes I know right. Energy is real💖💖
incredible video. this was the wake up I needed to get back onto my natural hair regimen! I've been slacking due to life and school, but its been showing as I have a bit of recent breakage happening. my hair has come so long so lol I need to get back on it! your hair is absolutely beautiful and so healthy, thank you for this!🥰❤️
Thank you so much Ayanna and I wish you well on your healthy hair journey💖💖
Awwww the babies. Your hair is gorgeous and thanks for the tips
Lol thank you sooo much😊💞💞
YES SWEETY I HAVE A HAIR JOURNEY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENCE. I NEEDED THIS 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Aww thank you so much. Your comment just made my day🥰😊
Thanks for this marvelous video☺️✨✨You mentioned two very important points which touched my heart. Don’t misunderstood me all of your points are very important. But those two which touched me was first never do you hair if your stressed out or don’t have time. Secondly do not let everyone does your hair bc of their energy -> That’s why I will watch out who I will let on my head and try to do my hair on my own🙏🏾💯🌸
Hey Vanessa thank you so much💖💖. I'm so glad to read those 2 points touched you. Energy is real.
@@GlowupwithPaige thanks much. Very informative. I would love to learn more about deep conditioning vs. Oiling the scalp with oil/water. I realize my girls hair can be quite dry and I really want them to maintain the quality hair they have been gifted with. Can you refer me to some hair moisturizers for my eight year old girls
Sure. I plan to record more kids videos to help you out. Also here's the cream I use on both me and my girls hair: amzn.to/3IpqghQ
I wash usually twice a week, but at the least once a week.. I wear only wash and go's, so my hair routine is super simple.. About 1.5hr start to finish including my time under the dryer.. I just recently had to big chop after 7yrs of "protective styling".. Because my hair was so damaged and dry from said styling.. I went to a kinky curly stylist for my chop so that I'd have the right shape for my fresh start.. I'm only about 2months since my chop, and can already see so much growth.. My hair just always grown pretty fast, but now with watering it so often.. I seems to be growing at the fastest I've ever seen, or noticed.. I love these tips, and being we do all were our hair in so many different ways, and set different expectations.. It only makes sense we would all do different regimens for what works best for our hair and lifestyles.. Happy to be a new sub...
Hey Chiquita I'm so glad to hear how your hair is thriving since your big chop. I always like to think of our natural hair as a plant🌴, the more we water it 💦the more it will stay moisturized and grow. Dry hair breaks. Thank you so much for being apart of the fam. We are more than happy to have you here ☺💖
This was so helpful. I jotted the steps down. I just recently started wear my hair this way. I normally had easy to manage curly hair. Now it’s changed. I
am hoping these will help me get my hair back to normal . I filled my little sprayed bottle with extra virgin oil to begin using. I’m thinking I’ve been using too many different products in my hair.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and I'm so glad you found this helpful 😊💖 Remember to keep it simple and be consistent. I wish you all the best on your healthy hair journey 💖
Your hair is so thick and healthy looking. I wanted to let you know I did a video last month on my journey from twa to waist length natural grey hair. I hope you can watch it.
Hey thanks so much that means a lot ☺️. I'll check out your video now and thanks for watching mines👍
@@GlowupwithPaige you are welcome! Happy Thanksgiving!
@@TandZAptLife Happy Thanksgiving!
oh, I slowly going gray and would like to have long gray hair. I would stop dying it for sure then.
@@deva190 You got this and it's possible to have healthy long gray hair😊👍
Lovely commentary lady and thank you. I got love you’re hair and it will love you back.
You're welcome and yes that's true 💖💖
Hi Paige! Thanks for a very informative video. You look beautiful and great hair growth girl!!!
Aww thank you so much and you are very welcome 😊💖💖
You have a beautiful head of hair I'm going to do the things you said do and hoping I have a great head of hair like yours
Thank you and remember consistency is key☺️💖
Ma'am. This is my first time watching your channel. As soon as I clicked this video and heard that accent, I was too happy. 😊 242 BABBYYYY!!!!!
Hey Robyn 242 BABYYYY!!!! and thank you so much for the support💖💖
I did not do a big chop which I regret because I basically let my hair break off then cut it. It has been 19 years and I still haven't achieved the length I want. Of course when I started none of the products that exist today existed then. But I am ready for more length retention.
Yes a lot has changed over the years with so many brands creating natural hair products for us. Remember to keep it simple and be consistent with your hair routine, the growth will come. Wish you the best on your healthy hair journey 💖💖
Thank you so much. All tips were excellent. I basically do same. Natural since 2012. Hair was inch below bra, but I just cut about 4 inches. Like you, I'm not a fan of salons. That heat is the pits FOR ME. I go to a Dominican for color only (I bring my own Natural Instinct rinse) and go home wet (shower cap and ski cap) then apply my products and braid or twist. Works for me. 😃👌🏾
Thank you and you're welcome ☺️💖. Continue to do what works for your hair. At the end of the day you know it best😉
Your hair and skin are beautiful. Your tips are spot on.
Thank you so much 🥰💖💕
Wonderful video!!! Each tip is excellent!!
Thank you💖💖
I appreciate you. Best advice ever. Educate yourself about your hair.
Thank you so much 💖💖
These tips were wayyy better than the typical ho-hum “how I grew my natural hair” same tired tips we always see 😂. Especially don’t do your hair in a bad mood. Who among us hasn’t been there? 😂 Sissss, that was worth the price of admission right there. I’m 9 months post-relaxer transitioning back to natural. Glad too have found your channel today *new subbie!
🤣🤣🤣 I know what you mean girl. Thanks a bunch and welcome to the glow up fam💖💖💖
What you say about other people touching your hair💯🎯Thank you Sooo much for the content. One Love 💕
You are very welcome 💖
Awesome video, less is best. The deep conditioning and heat is key. Thank you and God bless 😍
Yup they are and you're welcome 💖
When I returned natural, I didn’t do the big chop @ all. I jus mostly wore protective styles to grow out the perm. Although, it wasn’t easy, I was still patient with my hair
A few of my friends did the same as you. They never did a big chop.
I'm so glad I found your video. Great info. My hair appears to be the same type. Your info and product list so simple and inexpensive. So many videos that I've watched have along drown out process, expensive products (just too much). Thank you
Thank you and I know what you mean. I try to keep my routine very simple and straight to the point.
I don't let no one mess in my hair either. I do it all myself.
Exactly!
I am trying trying trying. Now I am washing every two weeks and leaving my hair alone. Will try prepping my hair a day before cuz on wash day I am fed up!!
Yes prepping a day before can be very helpful. Don't give up it's all trial and error.
Great video your hair is beautiful! Are you a Bahamian?
Also did you do protective styles, like crochet etc. to give your hair a chance to really grow?
Thank you 💖 and yes I am Bahamian. I never did any crochet hairstyles, I only did twists with my own natural hair.
