Idk if leaving it would equal no edges. Maybe they were installed too tight and yojr scalp doesn't produce much sebum in combination of leaving the braids in.
People always tell me my hair is sooo thick. However, my bantu knots look like, "pftt". Now I know that my hair just has a high density but my strands are fine. Thank you!!
Why is she trying to put everyone in a box? Y'all need to tell her that she can't advise anyone on their hair. She may be an expert on her hair but not everyone's hair.
I am so TIRED of people tellin' me that I only LOOK GOOD IN BRAIDS! I'm gonna shock them peeps when I go back to natural After taking these braids OUT . The next time they'll see me, imma have a full on FRO! USING PROTECTIVE STYLES. PERIODTT
Omg 🙄🙄🙄 then when you take them out you wear it out all the time like HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?😂you don’t like it? Doesn’t matter CUZ I LIKE IT LIKE THAT!😂😂😂
Jay Kayla yup! That’s me 🙋🏾♀️I have differing strand thickness and differing densities in my hair. Makes it incredibly hard to retain length. Some parts of my hair retain length with no problem while other parts be looking at me like “ma’am?!” Lol. Ppl love my hair when I wear wash n gos and compliment me all the time; I love it too. But, unfortunately it’s not healthy for my hair and after FIVE years natural I finally have to choose health over style and begin to rock twists. I feel good about it though, I feel like I’m choosing me. 🥰
Girl I'm rocking my mini twists for the summer and it's GREAT!! We need to learn to embrace our NATURAL hair without the weave, wigs, etc. ... you taught me that 😍😍😍
gorlllll I'm rocking mini twist right now! i go back to school next week. Usually I would neverrrrrr wear mini twists to school but this year, I'm going with hair health instead of comfort zone lol
Gooo girl!!! I used to be the same way. I cut my hair now. But when I was growing it out, the same people who were laughing/talking about my short twists, were the same people who were shocked 😮 when my hair was healthy and at bra strap length. Also, if it’s your style, wear head wraps sometimes 💕
It’s true. It’s clear when you look at Asian guys who have short cut hair. Unlike white guys where the hair lays down, their hair tends to sort of just stick out, you can see their scalp, even though their hair is straight and the contrast between the super dark black hair and lighter (usually) skin. You can see how thick their stands are. I noticed this one time and realised that
@@ArianaWoods112 Strands: Coarse, Medium/Normal, Fine Density: Thick, Medium/Normal, Thin Coarse is a terminology for strand thickness, so a person can't have a strand that can be described as Coarse and thin at the same time. It is often mistaken as a terminology for how texture feels.
I’m so glad you explained density to thickness . When I try and tell people they have fine hair as a black person they never believe me. Especially by types !!!
I realized that I had fine hair when I noticed how thick my daughter’s braids were compared to mine. She has more density and thickness. I was like now I got it!
4b/c med density fine hair. I can’t add any other hair to my hair at all. Learned that the hard way. 🤦🏾♀️😂 I used to wear kanekalon extensions all the time in high school. Soooo... long story short my edges are back now, and I won’t add any hair of any kind to my own. I’m just working with what I got. 🤷🏾♀️
SAME! Senegalese twists pulled out my hair! My hair is just now getting thicker and growing back healthy. Thanks to biotin, chebe powder, castor oil and natural twists.
This is a great video. We have the same texture but mine is very fine. It grows but gosh I wish for thickness. Y'all don't know the real struggle unless you're a type 4 fine hair girl lol. The breakage is real. All I can do is moisturize and leave it alone. Styling doesn't look great like thick hair does.
Chisom Anyanwu, I feel you, I also have very fine texture 4c hair but I have noticed that Shea Moisture Curl Enhance Smoothie makes my hair look thicker when I wear it in a puff or fro, also feel soft and keeps my hair from locking or tangling as much when left in two-strand twists.
This comment section is so wholesome, this is what I've been trying to get people on for years! Also, for twists and braids use a light gel on the ends!! Makes take down much easier and prevents those single strand knots.
since I dyed my 4c hair green I can tell it’s growing “realistically” by the now protruding black roots but my ends are just always going through it so I never really get to enjoy my growth...thanks for the tips..I’ll be sure to do a much fitting protective hairstyle now✨
Wearing individual two strand twists have literally saved my crown/back of my hair. I have fine strands and medium density, and was always trying to wear my hair out and be cute. I've been struggling with retaining length for YEARS, and when I finally got my stubborn ass to just keep my hair in twists all week and give my poor hair a break, I saw a lot less breakage and more moisture/softness in my hair. Thank you for confirming I'm doing the right thing! Tell Bear I say hi and I hope you get some down time
Fine hair, high desnity type 4b natural here! The best thing for me was mini twist!!!!! It grew my hair sooo much, I wear them under my wigs as well since my hair is in the awkward stage. I can easily take my wig off and moisturize them at home with no worries.
xtel folaj hey lovely, make smaller parts for a fuller look! I make my parts as small as box braids, they last me a good month with me slowly restwisting everything on the 2nd week. I dont retwist all in one day tho, I kinda spread it out through the 2nd week just because of work and life, i have no time to sit for another 8 hours to do my hair. Hope this helps
I got so excited when you said bantu knots! I have no idea why they are so slept on. They're beautiful to me, especially if you add some hair jewelry. Everyone just wanna do knot-outs for the manufactured curls while blind to the beauty of the actual knots... As for me though, I live in small/mini twists with braided roots.
When I cut off my hair the first thing I said is I better figure this out before it grows. I purchase the book called the science of black hair I started evaluating my shedding and figuring out what type of hair I have from the first inch when I was in my early twenties. I have changed a lot since then and I really want to do what's best for my hair because anything you do today it will affect tomorrow. Our hair is literally there every day so if you damage it it will just be damaged and it takes a long time to repair so I'd rather just not hurt it anymore not risk it any more and just let it Thrive for once. My family thinks I'm trying to grow locks because I don't really comb or brush but I use my hands instead. Finally my hair reaches past my shoulders and past my nose. Some of us couldn't take those hair practices that were forced upon us as kids. Perms weaves and heat tools are not for everybody
I love Bantu knots , I use magnetic rollers to stretch sometimes to prevent my roots from matting and webbing. Everybody just loves my knots and I am just a regular degular empress 😝
You better preach for us fine haired gals! I learned just a few years ago that I had to give up with the added hair. As cute as it is it was killing my hair. I noticed that my hair thrives so much more when I wear wigs, clip-ins (short), or headwraps. I also recently over the last year started to wear mini braids with no added hair and wow! My hair is much healthier since letting go of the added hair. My hair is so much happier on its own.
Great message here. I have fine hair and have learned the hard way about wearing extensions. Never again. I cant wear wigs either because my skin does not agree with whatever they make wigs from - even while wearing a wig cap. So...low manipulation styles are the win for me. Just installed mini braids and hoping for quiet no pressure or tension growth.
Cami B, I hear you, my hair is growing everywhere but my edges. I have been using JBCO and only two twisting or single braiding my hair with NO added hair, nothing helps.
Yep, fine hair here. I am learning the hard way that large section individual twists (less root tension) is working better than braids (higher root tension). Great insightful video!
I deff agree with your advice. I learned the hard way when my edges started thinning over the years. I now primarily do low manipulative and protective hairstyles. Mini twist are my primary go through! I do incorporate small buns when I style my mini twist. If I do incorporate high buns on loose hair I ensure that it’s very lose.
So glad you explained this. I have thick hair density and thin strands. I always wondered why my hair didn’t look as thick as some other 4c hair naturals when I would put it in plats. Even when wearing braids outs, I always felt like I had a lot of hair but it never looked voluminous. Makes so much sense now.
Yes! I subbed and box braids finally a fine haired TH-camd that wears box plaits with no extensions. This is my number way of retaining length as a 4c!!!!
Girrrl, you made me discover my hair is not thick but fine. It helps me so much because my braids always stays fine and on my friends the braids look very full and I didn't understand why. Thank you girlll. I need more protective styles from you!! ❤️
I did mini twists in my hair once and it didn’t look bad I was so self conscious and it took long for me to do. I guess I have to try it again lol. I loved this video!💖
Im 4abc, medium density, low/med porosity and I think medium thickness. I do crochet individual faux locs but I install them myself. There are several youtubers who can teach yall installation but I absolutely make sure I dont braid too tight, never put gel on my edges, and take care of the hair that grows. Surprisingly, when I take my hair down it's still moisturized! If you do faux styles correctly, your hair will definitely grow
crochet styles literally saaaaved my hair as long as I keep up with washing and oiling it while it's still up...for some reason the sew ins completely wrecked my shit! my strands are also super fine
I primarily wear wigs with braids similar to your or flat twists up under them.I do braids only in the summer when it is too hot for wigs. But the suggestions you made definitely make sense in terms of trying them out to see what works best for you and your hair type.
I watched a million natural hair videos and all the information they give is very repetitive but this right here is gold I thank you and appreciate you for this
Chazzz you can't charge and advise people on their hair when you are only an expert on your hair. You can't put all Asians and African Americans in a box! I love your channel but I think you would benefit from beauty school. Having TH-cam subs does not make you an expert. Don't tell people you can solve their problems!
Thank you for this. I am chronicling my hair journey and may post at some point but I never hear anyone talk about thin hair. I have thin hair and breakage on my ends. Using Rice Water only helped me to create a hair routine (yep, I saw your last video with that quote) and now I love taking care of my hair. I love braids and I learned how to leave out the edges to get the job done. Thanks again for including us thin haired broke-edges naturals! (Or transitioning naturals) :)
Wow! Thanks so much for breaking it dowwwwnn!! Im transitioning, 12 months post relaxer and just took out my protective style twists. They were down my back and waayy too tight!! I have medium density, thin strand hair. Took out the twists and my right side edges just gone girl! Im so mad! But yeh I get it, for real now! Did a 12 month mini chop and will continue to deep condition regularly and regrow my thin edges back! Thanks again! Wont do that again smdh! Great information!
I just love the energy and life you young women bring to these channels. Loving my thick full 4c-p hair except how much product I need to use and the time to detangle. Its worth it though and has to be done in order to keep hair on my head eventhough there is lots and lots of it. Still have to treat this hair with kid gloves, kindness and love or it will disappear. You are absolutely correct on that very low manipulation of the hair on a daily basis and keeping your scalp clean. Those who are having difficulty with their hair seem to be changing styles every day - a BIG NO NO and not keeping the scalps clean and hair moisturized enough. Keeps those hands out of it though. Love your hair/ love yourself.
😂😂😂 My hair is the same... I be so mad, trying to do the hairstyles in videos. My daughters laugh at the pictures I send them of what my hair is supposed to look like vs. how my hair actually looks.
You spit facts, sis. I am Team Thick Hair, and you were on point about Bantu knots and pin-and-tuck updos. My students swear that I wear wigs because I switch styles on them so much and my styles are just my hair. When I wear braids, I just do individual in the front and cornrow the back and nobody ever knows it's not a full head of braids.
My hair is super coarse and high density. There was a time where everyone was afraid of heat damage and I kept looking at my hair and never experienced it after I ever straightened it🤷🏽♀️
I just took my 2 strand twist out that I had in for 2 months and my hair has grown so much. Doing some more 2 strands twist tomorrow and going to leave them in for 2 months
Im so glad I found your channel. someone with hair that is like mine!! I have been natural for a LONG time and my hair only grew when I had my son...my hair was at its healthiest. Then I had my daugeter and my hair just went down hill from there on top of the braids that I had this year that broke my hair off so BAD, I look like I did when I first went natural. Yes, my bantu knots are tiny!!!! which is why I never wear them ha!
Tony Mitchell, I have my hair now in tiny individual braids and plan to leave this in for a month. I will moisturize them every week because my hair will start to lock if I don't. But when I have them a slightly larger size two-strand twists, I retwist each one, add a moisturizer, JBCO, and mist with Aleo Vera juice and water and retwist.
I felt personally attacked when she started talking about the big essay comments because I definitely did that once like last week😂😂😂😂 I was so desperate for hair help 😭😭🤣
As a licensed cosmetologist, I enjoy watching natural hair videos because thats what I specialize in. Your videos content is on point. I enjoy your presentation because of your eye contact. It gives viewers a sense of one on one. Kudos to you.
I went to check my hair brush to see if my strands were thick, and my biracial daughter’s hair compared to mine was like comparing spaghetti noodles to udon noodles.😂 I have thick hair strands, extremely dense hair. I used to have trouble even parting my hair and consistently broke combs and brushes when I was young. 😂 I have some hair loss in the crown due to seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis, but even so when my hair is in a fro, you can’t see it. That’s how thick my hair is lol. My protective hairstyle fave is big bantu knots or regular twists. It worked when I was a child, it works now.
You are a light! Please keep doing what you do. You encourage me to continue my natural hair journey in confidence. Thank you for the thin hair advice.
I have fine hair and my Dad has been telling me this for YEARS to stop wearing all that heavy hair lol, thankfully a few years back I started to do my own crochet and never exceeded 3 packs of hair, I'd get made fun of, but ya girl has HEALTHY hair on her HEAD lol. Nowadays I'm doing the individuals with no hair added: but it DOES take confidence to pull off. Thanks for the relevant info for us with fine hair.
I figured I had thin strands last year after my second big chop began to grow out more and reached my shoulders. Lol you’re so right about us doing Bantu knots. I used to get frustrated that mine looked a mess, I took note and don’t do that style.
Yup, our hair density is what makes us think we have "thick" hair. I've been told all my life that I have "thick" hair, especially from hair stylists but I have VERY dense hair but my strands are thin. I didn't realize that until I combed my locs out and I've been natural for around 9 years lol
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot of stuff about how to take better care of my hair. It used to be a lot longer but due to heat damage, it's basically been fried off😅 so now I'm just tryna grow it out so I can trim it
Now I know why I didn't like how the bantu knots looked on me! I finally learned that I have fine hair, but thick density!! I don't know why I stopped checking you out(but I let a lot of U Tubers go at one point), but I'll check on you more often now!! You just described exactly what I did to my own hair to get out of twa jail!! I will definitely be checking you out more often!!
Thankfully I knew my hair wasn’t THICK no matter how many people told me I did. My sister has thick hair & that beast is something else. I have medium hair 🤙🏾 Thanks Chaz! 🖤
I have fine hair and one thing I learned luckily in my journey is to tell and stick to a braided that listened to my concerns. My first demand was I want to use least amount of hair as possible. And use less hair around my edges
Thanks so much for this vid. I have fine hair strands and it can be annoying because when I wear two strand twists, no extensions, my hair looks really sparse. But your vid helped me to understand that although my strands are fine the density is quite thick. Really informative video. Keep it up girl!!!
I left my hair in mini braids for the summer and left it for two months,,,, I GOT EDGES NOW
😹😹😹😹
Did you do anything else to help grow your edges?
Idk if leaving it would equal no edges. Maybe they were installed too tight and yojr scalp doesn't produce much sebum in combination of leaving the braids in.
NLT4Ever #1 she said leaving them in lease the edges grow now fall out
Juliah Turner ayeeeee good for you that’s what I’m tryna do
Off topic but girl you have beautiful eyes.

So glad you explained this. I have thick hair density and thin strands. I always wondered why my hair didn’t look as thick as some other 4c hair naturals when I would put it in plats. Even when wearing braids outs, I always felt like I had a lot of hair but it never looked voluminous. Makes so much sense now.
Yes! I subbed and box braids finally a fine haired TH-camd that wears box plaits with no extensions. This is my number way of retaining length as a 4c!!!!
You are so correct, I to am a fine strands, high density, low porosity girl and Bantu knots SUCK for us! Love the tips. Thanks for sharing.
No problem!!!
Chazz, please continue to keep it real. Subscriber sending love from Jamaica
AWWW THANK YOU!!!
Yay! Congratulations on reaching 100K!!!💃❤💋💋💋
Thank you!!!
Girrrl, you made me discover my hair is not thick but fine. It helps me so much because my braids always stays fine and on my friends the braids look very full and I didn't understand why. Thank you girlll. I need more protective styles from you!! ❤️
I KNOW you do your research the things you share are the things my mom has taught me. She’s a stylist and your information stay lining up! 🙌🏾
Why thank you!!!
When my friend did bantu knots on me for the first time I felt like I looked like a PinHead💀💀
😹😹😹 looking just like Cynthia from rugrats because that’s me.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀
I definitely have thin low density hair and of course I wish it was thick. I love people with thick hair. Your info is dead on.
I did mini twists in my hair once and it didn’t look bad I was so self conscious and it took long for me to do. I guess I have to try it again lol. I loved this video!💖
Thank you and keep trying, check out the girl I shouted out in the video.
Im 4abc, medium density, low/med porosity and I think medium thickness. I do crochet individual faux locs but I install them myself. There are several youtubers who can teach yall installation but I absolutely make sure I dont braid too tight, never put gel on my edges, and take care of the hair that grows. Surprisingly, when I take my hair down it's still moisturized! If you do faux styles correctly, your hair will definitely grow
Hey if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. 😹 PREACH!
crochet styles literally saaaaved my hair as long as I keep up with washing and oiling it while it's still up...for some reason the sew ins completely wrecked my shit! my strands are also super fine
Ayyye if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!!!!
Same !
I primarily wear wigs with braids similar to your or flat twists up under them.I do braids only in the summer when it is too hot for wigs. But the suggestions you made definitely make sense in terms of trying them out to see what works best for you and your hair type.
YES!!! Just a suggestion if it works keep it, if it doesn’t throw it out!
That flat twist style was 🔥🔥🔥
Right!!!
She looked like lil mama when the vid first started. Her lip gloss and she is so pretty
I watched a million natural hair videos and all the information they give is very repetitive but this right here is gold I thank you and appreciate you for this
You are somebody that we trust to advise us on our natural hair journey 🤗🤗🤗
Awww thank you!!!
Chazzz you can't charge and advise people on their hair when you are only an expert on your hair. You can't put all Asians and African Americans in a box! I love your channel but I think you would benefit from beauty school. Having TH-cam subs does not make you an expert. Don't tell people you can solve their problems!
Everything you said was on point!!!! Thick strand hair girl over here.
😹😹😹
I have a bob hair braids and I get so many compliments about my hair. Rock it
YES!!!
Thank you for this. I am chronicling my hair journey and may post at some point but I never hear anyone talk about thin hair. I have thin hair and breakage on my ends. Using Rice Water only helped me to create a hair routine (yep, I saw your last video with that quote) and now I love taking care of my hair. I love braids and I learned how to leave out the edges to get the job done. Thanks again for including us thin haired broke-edges naturals! (Or transitioning naturals) :)
Wow! Thanks so much for breaking it dowwwwnn!! Im transitioning, 12 months post relaxer and just took out my protective style twists. They were down my back and waayy too tight!! I have medium density, thin strand hair. Took out the twists and my right side edges just gone girl! Im so mad! But yeh I get it, for real now! Did a 12 month mini chop and will continue to deep condition regularly and regrow my thin edges back! Thanks again! Wont do that again smdh! Great information!
No problem!!!!
My hair is definitely thick. Bantu knots and twists are very easy on my hair. Thx for the tips. I now understand why my hair is ok by herself. 😌👌🏾
Yesss!!!!
I have fine hair strands and this heat and humidity is not my friend!! I love you for breaking this down!!!
Facts!!!!
I just love the energy and life you young women bring to these channels. Loving my thick full 4c-p hair except how much product I need to use and the time to detangle. Its worth it though and has to be done in order to keep hair on my head eventhough there is lots and lots of it.
Still have to treat this hair with kid gloves, kindness and love or it will disappear. You are absolutely correct on that very low manipulation of the hair on a daily basis and keeping your scalp clean.
Those who are having difficulty with their hair seem to be changing styles every day - a BIG NO NO and not keeping the scalps clean and hair moisturized enough. Keeps those hands out of it though.
Love your hair/ love yourself.
OMG 😲 Girl I always wondered why the hell my braids be so skinny I be doing 1in parts and my plats just be looking malnourished.
😂😂😂 My hair is the same... I be so mad, trying to do the hairstyles in videos. My daughters laugh at the pictures I send them of what my hair is supposed to look like vs. how my hair actually looks.
I have the same issues and the only style that works is a wash n go
Same...☹
You spit facts, sis. I am Team Thick Hair, and you were on point about Bantu knots and pin-and-tuck updos. My students swear that I wear wigs because I switch styles on them so much and my styles are just my hair. When I wear braids, I just do individual in the front and cornrow the back and nobody ever knows it's not a full head of braids.
My hair is super coarse and high density. There was a time where everyone was afraid of heat damage and I kept looking at my hair and never experienced it after I ever straightened it🤷🏽♀️
SAME!!!
I just took my 2 strand twist out that I had in for 2 months and my hair has grown so much. Doing some more 2 strands twist tomorrow and going to leave them in for 2 months
Aye keep it going!!!
Yarn is bomb for crotchet styles, it's light and it doesn't tug, but definitely too much of anything isn't good!!! I loved this video thanks...
Your editing skills and knowledge.. I appreciate it. I also really like color of your background.
Aww thank you. I can’t wait to get more lights so the background stops giving off a vignetted look.
Watching this again but I really love the fact that you break this down based on fine natural hair/thick natural hair.
Im so glad I found your channel. someone with hair that is like mine!! I have been natural for a LONG time and my hair only grew when I had my son...my hair was at its healthiest. Then I had my daugeter and my hair just went down hill from there on top of the braids that I had this year that broke my hair off so BAD, I look like I did when I first went natural.
Yes, my bantu knots are tiny!!!! which is why I never wear them ha!
Better not skip my comment 😭 Im stuntin with these dingy braids right now. Im just going to look like a savage until I can manage this cabbage.
😹😹😹
Tony Mitchell, I have my hair now in tiny individual braids and plan to leave this in for a month. I will moisturize them every week because my hair will start to lock if I don't. But when I have them a slightly larger size two-strand twists, I retwist each one, add a moisturizer, JBCO, and mist with Aleo Vera juice and water and retwist.
@@barbarapeller Oh thanks, for the input. I definitely have to start moisturizing more. :)
yeah them bantu knots be doing me dirty 😢😂😂
😹😹😹
Shanice Abrams same
From this video, I realized I have thin strands with medium density. Thanks so much
Hey Boo!!
I have the same hair texture as you!! Thanks for all your help Pretty
And no problem!!!
I felt personally attacked when she started talking about the big essay comments because I definitely did that once like last week😂😂😂😂 I was so desperate for hair help 😭😭🤣
As a cosmetologist I approve this message lol
Why thank you 🙏🏽 * takes humble bow to the great *
Yeahhh we definitely have the same type of hair including the curl pattern i will forever be subscribed
YAY THANK YOU!!!
As a licensed cosmetologist, I enjoy watching natural hair videos because thats what I specialize in. Your videos content is on point. I enjoy your presentation because of your eye contact. It gives viewers a sense of one on one. Kudos to you.
I went to check my hair brush to see if my strands were thick, and my biracial daughter’s hair compared to mine was like comparing spaghetti noodles to udon noodles.😂
I have thick hair strands, extremely dense hair. I used to have trouble even parting my hair and consistently broke combs and brushes when I was young. 😂 I have some hair loss in the crown due to seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis, but even so when my hair is in a fro, you can’t see it. That’s how thick my hair is lol. My protective hairstyle fave is big bantu knots or regular twists. It worked when I was a child, it works now.
😹😹😹 strands are important!
I got iverson braids rn, Trying To go for a month to get the best growth
DetroitMadeZo me too! 🙋🏾♀️
Aayyyeee!!!!
You are a light! Please keep doing what you do. You encourage me to continue my natural hair journey in confidence. Thank you for the thin hair advice.
I just feel like I’m very limited in terms of protective hairstyles because I have fine hair 🥴
Yea but at the same time life is short do what you want! Also wearing your hair out more definitely should be a thing wear my Afros and what not!
I have fine hair and my Dad has been telling me this for YEARS to stop wearing all that heavy hair lol, thankfully a few years back I started to do my own crochet and never exceeded 3 packs of hair, I'd get made fun of, but ya girl has HEALTHY hair on her HEAD lol. Nowadays I'm doing the individuals with no hair added: but it DOES take confidence to pull off. Thanks for the relevant info for us with fine hair.
I figured I had thin strands last year after my second big chop began to grow out more and reached my shoulders. Lol you’re so right about us doing Bantu knots. I used to get frustrated that mine looked a mess, I took note and don’t do that style.
😹😹😹
Yup, our hair density is what makes us think we have "thick" hair. I've been told all my life that I have "thick" hair, especially from hair stylists but I have VERY dense hair but my strands are thin. I didn't realize that until I combed my locs out and I've been natural for around 9 years lol
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot of stuff about how to take better care of my hair. It used to be a lot longer but due to heat damage, it's basically been fried off😅 so now I'm just tryna grow it out so I can trim it
Now I know why I didn't like how the bantu knots looked on me! I finally learned that I have fine hair, but thick density!! I don't know why I stopped checking you out(but I let a lot of U Tubers go at one point), but I'll check on you more often now!! You just described exactly what I did to my own hair to get out of twa jail!! I will definitely be checking you out more often!!
Finally I found someone who's hair is like mine! 🤩
Thankfully I knew my hair wasn’t THICK no matter how many people told me I did. My sister has thick hair & that beast is something else. I have medium hair 🤙🏾 Thanks Chaz! 🖤
Missed you guys...love bear and the content is so awesome
Awww thank you!!! 😹😹😹
I have fine hair and one thing I learned luckily in my journey is to tell and stick to a braided that listened to my concerns. My first demand was I want to use least amount of hair as possible. And use less hair around my edges
YESSS!! Great idea!
I am starting my journey natural without the big chop and I am all over the place. Yes my hair strand is fine.
Thanks so much for this vid. I have fine hair strands and it can be annoying because when I wear two strand twists, no extensions, my hair looks really sparse. But your vid helped me to understand that although my strands are fine the density is quite thick. Really informative video. Keep it up girl!!!
I’m trying thank you so much!!!
I sure needed this! I have a bald spot on my edges because I have these long faux locs in and that piece of hair was already thin thin lol
Anybody else mesmerized by her eyes? She’s looking into my soul 🥺
I miss 🐻
You are the realest chazz
I have both the fine and the thick ones on different sides of my head but more of the fine
😹😹😹😹
