Honey the way those hairs clipped off one by one!!!
BEAUTIFUL
😂 Thank you!!

Hey, nayomiek! Thank you so much! ☺️
This was oddly satisfying to watch lol. You did a good job. Your hair looks great.
lol Thanks so much, SDot2385. And thank you for watching!
Great to find a relaxed youtuber
Hey, ms. chelle! Welcome!! 🥳
"Healthy hair" is a relative phrase. Some will say that all chemically treated hair is unhealthy (but will exclude bleaching - idk why, some will say that flat ironed hair is unhealthy, and so on and so on.
My stylist (trichologist) is the best in the state (i might be a bit bias), and she stated that contrary to popular belief- her relaxed clients have healthier hair. Again, it's a relative phrase custom to the individual. Her gist is that a lot of naturals she sees, especially new walk ins, they are under the false assumption that their hair is healthy simply because they don't use "anything" on it. By theory that should be correct, unfortunately, people don't take care of it as they should.
On one of my appointments i saw a girl walk in with a cute puff ball. Apparently, she had it in for over a month and kept reapplying ecostyler. Her hair was matted and the stylist mentioned that she sees it monthly. One girl even had mold in the middle of her hair from always keeping her hair wet for her daily wash n gos. She sometimes has to put a white cape on them to show the damage done. Of course the naturals who take care of their hair have healthier hair, she just likes to point out where both groups go wrong.
Hey, Yaya! I soooo loved your comment - YES!
While “healthy hair” is bandied about in a relative way, I would argue that it is not relative, but can be clearly defined and assessed (as your stylist can attest to). You can’t hide health; it has definite markers (e.g., shine/sheen, ability to thrive, strength, resilience, etc.). “Natural”, on the other hand, is a relative term as I see a lot of naturals say they’re natural, but have used chemicals to change the color of their hair via permanent color. Does pressing your hair no longer make you a “natural“ because, even though you didn’t relax it with a chemical, you still relaxed it via heat? Depends on who you ask.
I totally agree with your stylist. A lot of ppl assume that natural is synonymous with healthy, but is clearly not the case. You can be “natural” and healthy just as you can be “natural” and damaged (hair-wise). Same as with relaxed hair. It’s all about the CARE and maintenance.
And the mold in the hair from W&G’s? I can’t...
I think it’s dope that you found a stylist that you trust. I can see why you’re biased. Sounds like she knows her stuff!
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Lewis Jake instablaster :)
@Trent Kamden Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Trent Kamden It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
Loved the video! 😊❤
Yay! Happy you enjoyed, Ona! 🤗♥️
Your hair is gorgeous
Thank you!! ♥
Now I know how to trim the back of my hair. Thanks !!
My absolute pleasure! Happy to help! ;0)
You did an awesome job! Your technique is thorough. I'm adding it to my hair care tool box❤❤❤
Hey, jmarie! Thank you so much. And thank you for watching! 🤗

Hey, Margie! I’m so glad you found me, too! Happy you’re enjoying. WELCOME ABOARD! 🥳
Did an amazing job loved this video ❤️
Hey, NANA2YU! Thank you! And thank you so much for watching! ☺️
Okay Dolce I think we are all waiting to see your latest hair cutting tool. What you got for us. Your recommendation are ALWAYS on point not matter how much it costs. Thanks Dolce you have the Best suggestions
As soon as I get it, I’m gonna run in here and tell y’all ‘cause you know I can’t hold my mule! 😂
Definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for this technique
Hey, Everlycece! So glad you found this technique interesting. And if you DO try it, pls let me know how it works out for you. 😉
Someone get brad Mondo to react to this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
😂 Yes! Someone get Brad’s attention with this one! I’d love to see his reaction! lol
So glad you liked, GirlGirlTV. Thanks so much for watching! ☺️
I’m definitely going to try this method. I have the same problem area in the back. I noticed a lot of women in those “satisfying” hair cutting videos have that same gap as well.
Yes, I’ve noticed that, too. I find that if I stay on top of my trims, especially in the back/underside, I can pretty much keep that sparse pocket of hair from coming back.
Looks so pretty I forgot what it looked like before! ♥️
Thank you, Penney!! ☺️♥️
I have had that same issue and cut my hair it feels and looks better ! I can wait to see the progress
Yes!! A good cut/trim will do your hair a world of good, won’t it? 👍🏾
Hi Dolce when are you going to do a video on your duck clip with felt?
This was brilliant. I just reposted on FB on Style Dominations Relaxed Hair Society. I hope they check you out.
Hey, Regina! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video. ☺️ And thank you so much for sharing on FB! I really appreciate that.
I know it’s not a current video, but I am new to your fabulous channel. It’s so refreshing to see a relax beauty!!! I was just wondering can you do a tutorial on how you made this duck clip with felt? 🤷🏽♀️❤️😂
Hey, Lenore! Thank you and... Welcome! 🥳 Yes, I will put my “handy-dandy” on the list of things to come. 😂😉
I did my ✂️cut yesterday, although my hairs drastically shorter than before, it's way healthier looking now and full
Yesssss, tayyiba! Health over length all day! YES! Good for you 💁🏾♀️👍🏾
Catching up on your videos.. girl your hair is the goal! The sunlight tho...very satisfying video.
Hey, Ric! Thank you so much!!
It looks amazing!! I had that same problem like a year ago and I cut it into a bob and have been wearing a bob since. I think I'm finally gonna start growing it back out now and stop cutting it back to a bob. Great video!!
Hey, Kalisha! Thank you so much! Yeah, if I had cut my hair when it fell out, I would have had to cut it into a bob, too. A super short one. So I decided to wait.
Glad you enjoyed the vid! Thanks for watching! ☺️
Beautiful job! Very detailed loved video!
Hey, Arlita! Thank you so much! ☺️
So informative. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome. Glad you enjoyed! ♥️
I love this video! I use it as a reference for when I trim my own hair. Where did you get the clip to help you trim btw?
Hey, ML! So happy you enjoyed this vid? I actually just used a regular duck clip to trim my hair, but I’m looking to “upgrade” soon.
@@DolceDawn Thank you! Ill try the duck clip in the mean time☺️
@@ML-qq6yi You’re welcome! ♥️
Great video. Where can I purchase that clip to assist with trimming?
Hey, Jackie! I actually rigged that together using a duck bill clip...
Wow! Perfect cut
Thank you!!
So glad I found you.. I love your spirit and detailed info!! Thank you!
Hey, Queen! I’m so glad you found me, too! lol Welcome! 🥳 Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. I really appreciate it. ☺️
You did such a great job 😍
Hey, krystelle! Thank you so much!! ☺️
this was so satisfying! thank you !
You are so welcome, Aubrianna! Thanks for watching!
Very professional results. Your hair is so healthy, even without following all the 'rules'. You provided a link for the scissors but I could not find any information about the hair clip. Could you tell me how I would go about getting one or what it's called? Thank you in advance.
Hey, c.j.! Thank you! The clip I used was something I pieced together, but I have been looking and may have found something better. Will keep you posted.
@@DolceDawn Thank you for getting back to me. Any way you can help me will be greatly appreciated.
@@cjyoung-xc7ir Absolutely. My pleasure. ♥
You did a great job cutting your hair
Thank you!
Amazing job!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! 🤗♥️♥️♥️
You are the best!!!
Aww… thank you, Pawi Pawi! ♥️
I just followed your good advice ( not using the neutralizing shampoo that comes with the relaxer kit) I now have the softest hair I have ever had. For me you are the best, I follow a few other hair channels but for now I will stick to you.
Hey, Diamond! Wow... I am so glad that you were able to find my info useful and I really appreciate you watching and finding value in my channel. Your comment just made my day. Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️
@@DolceDawn Thanks to you, I am here in England sitting at my kitchen table with soft hair
🥳☺️☺️
Absolutely beautiful!!
Hey, Dee! Thank you!
It came out so pretty! I saw that you did 45 degree on the sides. Did you also go around the back and cut 45 degree pieces?
Hey, gemruby41! Yes, you’re correct. I did 45 all the way around. Just didn’t show me cutting the back that way for the sake of time. 😉
Dolce Dawn thanks
You’re welcome.
Hi Dolce hope all is well. Did you ever update your hair cutting tool?
Hey, Twinkle! Got my eyes on a couple of prospects and will definitely update you guys when I do!
@@DolceDawn okay thanks
Love your videos!! You hair is gorgeous!
What brand cuttting shear are you using?
The link you provided looks like a different pair of shears.
Hey, Nicole! Thank you! The link provided is for the same brand that I have (Dark Stag), but the all steel version.
@@DolceDawn thank you so much 😊

Your hair looks great! What is the name of the song in the beginning? That's a double like!
Hey, Uptowner! Believe it or not, my “theme song” was just a little ditty I banged out on my computer. 🤗. Thanks so much for your kind words and thank you for watching!

Dolce Dawn yes I was lurking! I love your videos, please keep them coming. God bless you🥰🥰
@@Amexblackcard Nothing wrong with a little lurk now and again. 👀😉 God bless you, too, angie!
your hair look gorgeous
Hey, Barbara! Thank you!! ♥️
Where did you buy that long clip please ?
Hey, girl! I bought the clip from Sally Beauty.
Do you use neutralizing shampoo after washing out your relaxer if so what brand?
Hi, nikki! No, I do not use a traditional neutralizing shampoo as it leaves my hair feeling like straw. Instead, I use Paul Mitchell’s Awapuhi shampoo to wash out my relaxer.
@@DolceDawn ok thanks
@@nikkih3492 You’re welcome!
Hi newbie what would you recommend for thinning hair on top if anything think its hormonal i love your hair
Hi, Kishia! Thank you! As far as your hair is concerned, do you know why it’s thinning - specifically on the top. You mentioned hormones, but are you sure? And if so, what kind of hormones - stress? Pregnancy related? Could it be a lack of iron, B12, Vitamin D or any other vitamin/mineral? Do you wear a lot of hats or wigs that can cause friction? Is your hair breaking or shedding excessively? As you can gather, we would really have to know the “why” behind your thinning hair in order to get to the “how” in addressing it.
@@DolceDawn not shedding or breaking just thining in that one area my vitamin d number was 9 so now u take a D3
@@libabygurl8879 Good - I’m glad you’re staying on top of your vitamin intake/health. Outside of age-related thinning or loss of hair, including hereditary female pattern balding, there are some things you can do to help - all of which are “natural” (my preference). Massages are excellent for not only spreading vital sebum throughout the scalp, but they also stimulate the blood vessels (which nourish follicles and encourage growth) as well as thicken hair strands. There are also shampoos/hair products specifically designed to help strengthen and boost the look of thinning hair. Also staying on top of your Omega 3, vitamin B12 will help. Stay away from stressful hairstyles and chemicals that can demand and deplete a lot from the hair, monitor your intake of alcohol and make sure to have an adequate amount of protein in your diet. Hope this helps some... and I do have a video listing all the good vits and minerals necessary for healthy hair (“Essential Minerals...” and “B.A.D. Vitamins...”) that you may find helpful as well. ♥️
@@DolceDawn Thank you so much
@@libabygurl8879 You’re so welcome!
Where did you purchase the hair clip?😊
Hey, Donna! I bought the large, metal clip from good ol’ Sally Beauty. (And then I doctored it up 😉)
@@DolceDawn That is ingenious! I never would have thought of modifying a clip to hold the hair for to trim your own hair. I will to try this when I trim again.
Hey, MelsUniverse! Thank you! And if you try it, pls let me know 🤗
I ALWAYS WANTED TO CUT THE BAD PART OF MY HAIR BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT .. SO THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO😘
Nice 🙆
Thanks, Marlin! ♥️
I cut to the white meat today! No longer holding on to thin ends.
Yes, Kaitlyn! That’s what I wanna hear! Now, let’s get this hair growing, girl! #Letsgo 💪🏾💁🏾♀️
How do you cut hairs that are shorter in the middle or throughout your hair? Is this done during dusting?
Hey, josiane! On occasion where there are a few sticking out, I may give them a dusting. But for the most part, I don’t worry too much about these shorter hairs and don’t bother seeking them out and cutting/trimming them since you will always have them.
@@DolceDawn Thanks for responding! Sometimes we have a lot of uneven hairs and you need to deal with them to get a smooth or even result without butchering your hair. I really enjoy all your videos. They are very informative!
@@josianecobb7804 You’re are so welcome! And thank you! So glad you’re enjoying.
Hey we’re do you get that purple clamp from
Hey, Nisha! It’s a regular duck bill clip that I bought from Sally Beauty and then rigged it with felt.
Thank you ❤️
Nice
Thank you ♥️
Amennnn whew 🔥 🔥 🔥
😉♥️♥️♥️
HOW OFTEN DO YOU TRIM IT?
Hi, Angela! I trim every four weeks: a dusting at four and trim at eight (relaxer day).
I didn't see the link for the scissors
Hi, jacqueline! The link is at the bottom of the description box (Dark Stag Scissors).
What brand/model shears are those?
Hey, Saye! I originally hesitated to put a link to the scissors I use only because I couldn’t find the exact ones. But I finally found them (the all steel version)! The scissors I use are from Dark Stag and I have provided a link above if you’d like to take a look.
@@DolceDawn THANK YOU!!
@@BougainvilleaBabe You’re more than welcome!
I woke up & ur video was playing. Entertaining...but I QUICKLY judged that u did NOT cut 2 the white meat & u did NOT lose ur hair. I found ur channel & did some bing watching thus my judgement. THEN, I started the video over 2 see what I missed...😞 . When I saw where u started from😟...u know the thin portion, I must admit I would NOT have done what u did😧😵. I’m not proud of this confession...I am embarrassed 😳. U rightly assessed & took action. BOY, do I need a trim!! 😂. I did it w/ my last relaxer 8/14/2020...relaxer is done in the salon but I stopped her from CUTTING me years ago. I nicked named her Edward Scissor Hands...not mean. Beautiful sculpted work but if u don’t want a hair cut it doesn’t matter how beautiful it is! Anyway...I know my hair was in great shape 08/14 when she said “ Heather, right now your hair is not bad...”. 😂 I knew that was the closest I was gonna get 2 a compliment from her...20 plus year customer. So I came home & clipped my ends using each curl she beautifully put in & followed up w/ a roller to keep it separate and to ensure I did NOT miss 1 little section!!!! So, I thought🤔I went in DEEP... white meat deep! My hair is growing like a weed...u r not gonna like this (Remember I binged ur videos & I loved the 1 when u stressed regimen not gimmicks-U didn’t use that word but u know I know what u meant!) but I’m using Ayurvedic methods on my relaxed hair. My next step is Olaplex. I was on the fence about Olaplex but a little girl’s video (I stumbled on) convinced me 2 invest in Olaplex & I’m shedding right now. & I haven’t been shedding while stretching my relaxers to 3 mths (rice water 😑🤗2018, avocado 🥑 masks 2019 2020 experiments but not consistently)! During COVID19, I stretched to 4 mths 6 days NO DRAMA (shedding). & yes, I do NOT follow a routine 😂 so not exactly sure why I’m shedding now...really dry but historically so & anemic since young teenager (infusions needed pills did NOT fix)... Anyway, I do enjoy u sooo. I’m going back 2 the beginning of this video AGAIN to get some courage 2 do what I need 2 do...white meat!! 😂 I’ll update u on CUT & Olaplex. I hope 2 do both soon. Love ur hair, demeanor, opinion...channel! This is old & u probably won’t see it but that’s ok 2. Writing it 2 hold myself accountable.
Hey, Heather! I see you! 👀😂. I want to thank you for your kind words and for watching! I really appreciate it! ♥️ “Edward Scissorhands” - you’re funny! lol
I always stress that everyone’s different and that you must do what’s best for YOUR hair. So if Ayurvedic is giving you great results, by allll means!! And, yes, please give me an update regarding the shedding, cut and what you think about Olaplex. You know how I get about my updates! I WILL be following up! 🤨😉lol
😂. Keep it flowing Ms. Dolce. Thanks again 4 encouraging!!
@@heatherelliott8246 You’re more than welcome! 😉
👌👌👌

I am you, Beautiful!
🥰🥰🥰
You sound like a radio personality
Hmm... First time I’ve heard that one. But I’ll take it! lol Thanks! 😉
Hey
After watching this video I've no excuse as a lefty not trim my own hair.
You’re a lefty, too?! Yesssss! LEFTIES UNITE! 👍🏾 No excuses. Gotta trim that hair (or get someone to trim it for you). Such an important part of hair maintenance.
@@DolceDawn Yes, Iefty's rules and your videos came up on my feed now binge watching. I've fine natural low density hair which breaks easy if not trimmed regularly, and I do not relaxed my hair anymore but when I did my stylist used children perms. Overall, I get trims every 2 months when I can get a appointment other than that I roller set or wash and go. I am recovering from being a product junkie now going back to the basics without protein in the products because I believe this was causing breakage to much of anything is not good. The products you're using I used them 30yrs ago, and they worked going back to basics Paul Mitchell, Wella, Lotta Body works well. I just need to get the trimming down, and follow my stylist cutting pattern like you said don't be afriad. Peace and blessing to you.
@@chartimbe946 Yes, sticking to the basics was key for me, too. It’s hard to argue with products that just work so well. That, plus a simple regimen, tends to yield great results.
So glad you’re enjoying the vids! And it definitely sounds like you’re on the right track as far as your regimen. Thanks so much for sharing. Peace and blessings to you, too. ♥️
