Girl we were genuinely worried about you. And I don't mean about your hair, we were worried about *you* You seemed totally crushed by what happened, and we understand since you consider your hair to be a huge part of your real life identity as well as your online identity. But while other girls who had similar experiences came back and got sponsorships by other brands while working tirelessly to rehabilite their hair, you were just quietly doing it off camera. We are happy knowing that you're still there. We are here for you emotionally, not just hair-wise. We're not just here because of hair. You can genuinely count on us to be here for you.
Thank you for sharing this. We love you. We are praying for you. You shouldn't have to explain your absence - anyone who understands, will understand. And anyway who cares. Do what's good for you x
Sending positive thoughts your way, Ayesha! Take whatever time you need to heal. I used Caviar shampoo and conditioner right after throwing out all of my Deva Curl products too, and saw new growth and my first ringlets again in about a year.
You're so strong! I admire your patience and consistency! I've got my hair burned at a salon when I went from black to ginger and, I bought a lot of products and follow the advice of a trusted hairstylist and I just couldn't keep up I was so impatient that I chopped to the level of my jaw ... is growing back beautiful And strong but, I wish I was more patient with the recovery of my long hair ...gosh I spend so much money the hair was looking better but I'm so impatient !!!!
I'm so glad you're recovering. Tha k you for Shari your story and tips! K18 has worked amazing for my damaged bleached hair. The more damage the more you feel it work. K18 kept me from having to cut my length. I have long, thick, curly hair. It takes me two pumps, rarely three. At the $75 (it cost here) I get 50ml, two pumps means I get 25 uses of this mask. That's $3 per use. I used it 1x a week for 8 weeks and then went to maintenance using it once every other week (so in maintenance a bottle will last me a year). It is a little bit pricey but I feel you get what you paid for, especially those with bleach and chemical damage.
Yeah, Brad mondo doesn’t have a single clue how to properly take care of curly hair. Which sucks, because he speaks with such conviction and confidence it’s as if he’s actually done his so called “research” when in reality he’s just an arm chair hair stylist with no curly hair experience at all
Yup. I was a fan of him for years and almost ended up buying his products until one day I realised NONE of his videos focus on curly hair, and he's constantly talking about how brown hair is boring. I just don't feel like he cares for anyone that doesn't fit his idea of beauty.
@@MissSousoutheleb I got so much enjoyment when Manes by Mel basically roasted him for calling her video about how letting your hair air dry can be a lot more damaging specially for us curly haired girls (because it takes our hair foreverrrrrr to properly dry without heat) than defusing our hair
You are the reason I started believing a South Asian girl could have beautiful, thick ringlets. I've driven my family crazy talking about curl patterns and because I no longer use heat on my hair. Welcome back!
I’m south Asian and my ringlets are finally coming back. I have been using amla oil and taking iron supplements, doing head massages and doing treatments once a week.
After watching the Not So Pretty episode, I am far more concerned about the reproductive and hearing issues caused by DevaCurl/formaldehyde. Hair is important for sure, but now learning that the product appears to cause more damage than that, things women would not even dream of jeopardizing, is mind-blowing to me. How many other women have come forward with those issues?
I personally am concerned for the epigenetic risks that some of the chemicals they use in our hair care & other products are having on our children. I used DevaCurl while pregnant with my son, & his hair texture is surprising (it is similar to the “un-comb-able” hair texture that has been noticed in a few children recently in the news or on social media). I still wonder if those products some how played a role in the development & quality of my sons own hair texture.
Wouldn't be surprised sadly. They are putting lots of sketchy and dangerous chemicals in most things we use daily now and ingest. The Government and these big companies know what they are doing. The fact people put their trust in the government during covid made me pull my hair out. The real conspiracy is trusting the government to know what's best for us when all along throughout history they never truly cared but spread lies and half truths to us. Do more research and pray to our ABBA Father for guidance by his holy spirit. Jesus is coming soon for his church. It's time to awake and not be woke.
I'm 100% sure devacurl didn't cause those problems because it's pretty much impossible, and I'm actually surprised she isn't being sued for defamation :/
@@goldielocks9092 I remember explaining at length when her video with the first allegations came out. Citing the studies and everything. Maybe you can still find that comment if she didn't deleted it haha. But in summary pretty much no topically applied products can cause hearing loss, period. Any hearing loss would be only temporary. Even if you suffer severe allergy reactions (anaphylaxis). There are several studies about this. There was one that showed some correlation between anaphylaxis and hearing loss on animals iirc tho. The menstrual changes could be explained by a thousand things and not specifically Devacurl, given that: 1. Menstrual cicle variates with time and age 2. It is also pretty sensible to lifestyle changes 3.Even if she could eliminate those two factors (she can't, given that at least it she used the products for a couple of years and went though a really stressful period afterwards) a lot of products on our daily lives have chemicals that could alter your hormones balance: perfumes, cookware, fragrances, mascara... you name it. I'd be close to impossible to pinpoint the exact product that caused her problems. Last but not least, it's really important to remember that Correlation ≠ Causation. If you get sunburnt every time you eat an icecream you might want to blame the icecream, but we both now that icecream don't cause sunburns the sun does. Just because two things seem related doesn't mean they are, and all the "evidence" she has showed so far is just her experience. It's just correlation at best, and straight out lies at worst. All that said, I'm not saying Devacurl is innocent but that she can't even sustain her own claims with actual proofs. Following the ice-cream example, if someone randomly started saying this-brand-of-icecream caused their sunburns and hearing loss you would expect some proof of that. And if all they showed was just medical records that they "yup, you have hearing loss and a sunburn" but no proof of relation to the icecream brand you still wouldn't believe the icecream caused it. Even if a whole bunch of people would claim the same thing. They would seem like conspiracy theorist or just people that let themselves get carried away by the hype. I hope that all that made some sense. I'm pretty sure the hearing loss is impossible, and all her other claims are just extremely hard or impossible to prove.
I bought a laser helmet for hair loss and I just wanted to say that I have been surprised to see how it has improved not only growth, but also the overall health and strength of my hair. I also use a bond repair product and I went back to using shampoo twice a week after over a decade of no-poo. That’s all, I haven’t tried any of the other things mentioned.
@@eeeeeeeeee10 I used one from Aveda. I think it was called Botanical Repair. I haven’t used it in several months now. I still use the helmet and it is maintaining my hair growth.
I'm so happy for you, particularly that your headaches are diminishing. I know what living with chronic pain/ symptoms is like, what a relief it is when the symptoms subside even just a little! Sending you positive vibes and prayers 💕
Wow welcome back Ms.Ayesha!!!!! It's such a huge relief to see you again. I am so glad to see that your beautiful hair has improved a lot. It's absolutely gorgeous and very long!!!!! You've come so far and I just wanna let you know that we are all so proud of you Ayesha. You are seriously one courageous and formidable woman for continuing on, not giving up without a fight, and working your ass off. Your entire hair journey from where you first started to where you are now as well as experiencing a major hair glow-up with your hair is absolutely inspiring. You are one of the many proofs that there's ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel and that you WILL get through the hardest knocks in life even if it takes years. Things will get better no matter what and you are the literal proof of that. Your strength and courage to keep going and put one foot in front of the other is very admirable indeed. I am so happy for you and I'm so very proud of you and I wish you great blessings and major positive vibes on your journey continuing forward from here. I know I'm just some random stranger on the internet so my comment probably won't mean anything at this point but I'm just so happy that you're finally back and alive. Anyway enough of my sappiness. Welcome back Ms.Ayesha!!!!! We've all missed you dearly and I hope you have a marvelous and safe day. Happy early Easter and God Bless!!!!! 🐇🐣🙏
Ayesha, I've thought about you these past few years and you certainly know how to surprise people! I was so elated to wake up this morning with a notification that you had posted a video! I hope all is well and when you're ready, your followers will be here waiting to hear your story. ❤ So glad to see you are doing okay!
so many of these are crazy measures and expensive too, your hair would’ve probably grown back healthy anyway . damaged hair can’t get “fixed” your hair simply grew and you cut the ends.
Don't think that could have happened though because if you look at her damage video her whole head has damaged her. It's only been a couple of years since then and her hair can't have grown THAT much in that time considering its current length and the curl pattern also.
Jesus. All from this stupid companies products. I cannot believe what you have to do now to get your old hair back. I hope DC gives you some compensation for everything you have to buy - all the time and mental health. Just mind blowing.
As a person who was also affected by diva curl even just using their gel. I feel for you so much, wanting to go on a healthy hair journey and it destroys your hair isn't fun. I wish you the best, my hair is almost back to normal it is starting to curl back again. The short pieces still are having a hard time growing back but I'm ok with the progress and am looking forward to trying some of your tips.
I noticed a lot of the same symptoms as you when I was using Devacurl too. The itchiness and headaches were so bad. 😫 I’m so glad I only used it for a few months and not years. I really thought it was just me until you came out against Devacurl.
I am so happy to see your beautiful spirit back here on TH-cam! Girl, I found you as I discovered that when my hair was healthy, it is curly. My cousin was diagnosed with uterine cancer 3 years ago, when she shaved her head before the chemo and radiation took it, I shaved mine with her. It was only while it was growing back in that I realized that at 43 years old, my hair was not simply wavy in some spots, it has spirals, and coils and yes, the occasional wave. I wanted to keep them, and when I went looking for that other curl brand is when I found you. I stayed way back from that and have only used natural stuff on my hair since then, and although my hair can still get very heavy and start to pull the curls, coils and spirals into simple waves, that is when I know my hair is getting too heavy, or it is getting time to wash it. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story so others don't feel alone and so those of us that are discovering our curls, don't fall to marketing gimmicks.
Just finished watching the HBO episode and it was SO informative. I didn't realize the extent to which DevaCurl had harmed you. It's so unfair. You are so strong for being so transparent and putting your story out there, and to continue showing us your healing process. Thank you Ayesha ❤
Missed you, Spisha!! I hope you are having a nice Ramadan so far. Would love to see what you wear for Eid this year. I need to go find some black seed oil now that isn't made by Vatika lol
I thought this was gonna be recovering from a mental breakdown that didn't involve shaving your head. Ten seconds in I realized I was mistaken but at least now my hair can look nice
Omg I think about you EVERY DAY!! I work on base in a PX and every day I pass a display of Deva Curl. And I have to work to not destroy it. I am glad that you are doing better, and I am praying for you. Love you! 🥰
I'm glad to see you! I've also been on a multi-year journey trying to reverse as much damage as possible and repair my scalp. My hair is really similar to yours but between so much breaking off and it just not wanting to curl its been a struggle. I'm finally seeing real improvement. I'm so glad you are too.
I saw these videos too late unfortunately. My hair is not at all the same anymore. I’ve seen results with very expensive PRP and infrared. But that’s it. I’m still experiencing hair loss and frizz. It’s heartbreaking and I know it’s just hair, but it’s a part of my body. Losing any part of your body (hair, teeth, skin) in a permanent way is so sad.
Wishing you well! 🙏🙏CGM destroyed my whole hair. I first used Deva some 10 years ago and it dried my hair as well as disrupted my curl pattern even back there. I moved on to other brands, but after 7 years I had a head full of dry, opaque, 2B/2C/3A thin hair when it was shine, 3A/3B and medium to coarse before I started it... while using the so called prohibited ingredients. I fell for the propaganda I'd keep my hair and avoid bad substances, which is inexcusable because I am a chemist. 😠 I decided to do something when people asked me what I was doing to my hair that I was losing my curls and the hair fall became too much. A series of coincidences, tests that came back fine and an androgenetic diagnostic I didn't accept, I turned to my routine. I finally realized my hair/scalp loves sulfates/silicones and don't like oils (coconut in particular), which are in everything. I am not saying the method is bad for everyone. It didn't work for me. Three y later, my hair is still recovering, but my curl pattern has mostly been back while I went back to use what I always used. It is getting thicker again, my crown is fuller and the hair is shine again. I even went back to my ginger hair dye and could keep my curls. All in all, I am happy with my hair. Never again I'll fall for product propaganda without deep research on what it does.🤔🤔
Thank you! As someone who has testet the CGM but seeing hair loss, flat, lifeless, no shine, and dead looking hair, I was thinking about quitting, but everyone said "its transition, hang in there... try this and that" and I've kept trying, thinking I did something wrong... But your comment made me realise its not just me... I will now go back to my regular products, which my hair loved, just deep condition and squish more often ;) **NB: Have never tried DevaCurl as they are not easily available in Norway!
@@Anugita I am glad my story helped you. I also heard it was just the transition phase. I spent 7 years waiting for this transition phase to pass, insisting it was something I was doing wrong, jumping brands and in the end my hair got ruined. I like to tell my story so people get aware that if your hair gets bad after starting the method and never improves, it ain't for you. If people recognize the signs earlier, maybe they won't get to the point I did.
My routine consists of shampoo and conditioner (every day unless I am tired😂). Then, I do the oil-cream-gel styling. I use Schwarzkopf Dark Oil, my leave-in (I have several) and gel (Osis+ Bouncy Curls, Curlsmith Flexible Gel or Seda Boom Oil in Gel, the last one is Brazilian). I detangle with the Tangle Teezer and style with the Denman D31 or the Tangle Teezer Ultimate. I bought recently the scalp massage brush from Tangle Teezer and I love it. I also use the Mane and Choice The Alfa Hair Oil Growth, Hobe Labs Energizer hair follicle stimulato and Greensations Thermascalp serum to threat my scalp and improve the hair coming from it.
Glad to see your hair is recovering and that you're feeling better. I was wondering how you were doing. Definitely going to check out that documentary.
I'm really glad you're back and doing better. I just watched the documentary and finding out you had to get hearing aids was rough. I'm sorry you're going through that, and I'm glad you're on the road to recovery.
Bonus tips: eat salmon, avocado, olive oil, seaweed, almonds, chicken and eggs, and in general as many proteins and good fats as you can And ALWAYS do research to NEVER fall into pseudoscience
I just got my hair back!! I used deva curl almost 3 years ago and I was sooo sad cause it ruined my hair only after one use!! I’m happy your hair is better now!
I’m type 2c/3a but I’m learning that having my hair always open and full of products is not the best idea! I started to wash my hair less frequently and wear them in braids and have them off my face and clothes. This is how women wore their hair and could grew it so long for centuries! Just a though for curlies who want to grow long beautiful hair. Maybe consider the older costumes for keeping the hair healthy. Washing often and lots of products beside having your hair always open can lead to more damage.
I’m a diva curl damaged woman as well and had to repair my hair regrow my hair with vitamins and only natural products. Don’t know why I switched from my natural products to diva curl in the first place. It totally ruined my hair but things to my persistence and gradually trimming my hair my hair is beautiful now. Thank you for your bravery
The doc is what brought me here and I'm glad to see everything is looking up. Just wondering what my curly hair community thinks of Cantu products, because I feel that my hair is thinning and Cantu is the only product I've been using.
Other than natural ingredients what specific products would you recommend for curly hair like yours? My hair should look like yours but it hasn’t in A LONG time and I haven’t even been using Deva Curl. I haven’t found any good products yet that work for my hair and seeing your hair is really encouraging!
YOU... my Love... set me on a course of transformation. I thought I was going CRAZY until I saw your video...it literally changed my life! I am so so so so sooooo happy you are healthy, and recovering and alive and well. So much love to you and for you!!!
I suffer from similar scalp issues. Can you please provide any more tips for how to apply the black seed oil/aloe vera gel? Do I dilute the black seed with coconut oil or just apply a few drops straight to the scalp? I was also prescribed steroids but terrified of using them.
You were the FIRST person I saw with curly hair that made me realize that curls can be beautiful!! I’m so thankful for you and incredibly proud!! The struggle and journey you went through breaks my heart but I am happy you are getting through it ❤️ curls are a form of personality, of self and ever think of my curls leaving me is to scary ❤️❤️
You take care of that hair better than most people take care of a child. I would have cut it. Also I saw you on the HBO documentary Not so Pretty and came here to check if there was any updates, hopefully your health continues to improve. I live in Dominican Republic, and we have a brand of products called Afrolove which is the one I mostly use, when I watched the documentary, they mentioned ingredients and turns out all of them had it and I've been dealing with a seborrhea flare up for months (I do suffer from it and psoriasis but it usually lasts days at most) and I've noticed more hair loss lately, threw all of them out. You might have saved me from a lot of health issues I don't need on top of the ones I already have.

I thought about you yesterday night... and here you are! Sending you as much love as I can. We'll wait until you're ready
I'm so happy to see you recovering ❤
its so nice to see you back!!
Missed you so much!!!!!! So happy you're back and took time to heal
I’m so happy to see you again! Keep working to be happy and positive.
Finally you’re baaack!! So glad
I'm so glad you're recovering. Tha k you for Shari your story and tips!

I wish you the best, my hair is almost back to normal it is starting to curl back again. The short pieces still are having a hard time growing back but I'm ok with the progress and am looking forward to trying some of your tips.
I noticed a lot of the same symptoms as you when I was using Devacurl too. The itchiness and headaches were so bad. 😫 I’m so glad I only used it for a few months and not years. I really thought it was just me until you came out against Devacurl.
FINALLY AFTER 2 YEARS (almost :3) !
Spend $400 or more and your hair will look good 😞
With the recovery and what you have learnt. Where do you rank these with your original black caster, coconut and tea tree oils ?
Hi Ayesha! How are you? We are still thinking of you. Please come back.
I am so happy to see your beautiful spirit back here on TH-cam! Girl, I found you as I discovered that when my hair was healthy, it is curly. My cousin was diagnosed with uterine cancer 3 years ago, when she shaved her head before the chemo and radiation took it, I shaved mine with her. It was only while it was growing back in that I realized that at 43 years old, my hair was not simply wavy in some spots, it has spirals, and coils and yes, the occasional wave. I wanted to keep them, and when I went looking for that other curl brand is when I found you. I stayed way back from that and have only used natural stuff on my hair since then, and although my hair can still get very heavy and start to pull the curls, coils and spirals into simple waves, that is when I know my hair is getting too heavy, or it is getting time to wash it. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story so others don't feel alone and so those of us that are discovering our curls, don't fall to marketing gimmicks.
This seems like a lot of money but not that much progress
It’s an incredible amount of progress, especially for hair that isn’t even being cut.
Too late I cut all my hair off 😭
Less pain more hope in your eyes! So glad to see you make a video. I hope you and your family were well over these crazy couple of years☺️
I saw the notification and came running.. I used to look if you ever uploaded.. thank you for this video. ❤️❤️❤️
Just finished watching the HBO episode and it was SO informative. I didn't realize the extent to which DevaCurl had harmed you. It's so unfair. You are so strong for being so transparent and putting your story out there, and to continue showing us your healing process. Thank you Ayesha ❤
What is the hbo episode called
@@jacquelinefeliciano6135 it's the fourth episode, I think it's literally called "Hair"
Ramadan Mubarak 🌙✨ ayesha we miss so much 🦋🦋🤎🤎
Happy to see you back! Thank you for letting us know what you did to repair your hair! You showed a lot of tips which I have never heard of before.
The way I clicked on the notification as soon as I saw it though I'm in the middle of a lecture.
I'm so happy to see an update from you!!!
Never feel obligated to film or post if you're not ready - you owe us nothing!!
girl, shaving my head just sounds the sole affordable thing in my budget right now.
Missed you, Spisha!! I hope you are having a nice Ramadan so far. Would love to see what you wear for Eid this year. I need to go find some black seed oil now that isn't made by Vatika lol
I thought this was gonna be recovering from a mental breakdown that didn't involve shaving your head. Ten seconds in I realized I was mistaken but at least now my hair can look nice
I really want to know what your current routine is, what products do you use now to wash your hair would you do a video like that in the future?
she sounds so done and mad :(
Omg I think about you EVERY DAY!! I work on base in a PX and every day I pass a display of Deva Curl. And I have to work to not destroy it. I am glad that you are doing better, and I am praying for you. Love you! 🥰
I'm glad to see you! I've also been on a multi-year journey trying to reverse as much damage as possible and repair my scalp. My hair is really similar to yours but between so much breaking off and it just not wanting to curl its been a struggle. I'm finally seeing real improvement. I'm so glad you are too.
Omg i was just thinking of you 😲😲😲
Ive been waiting for sooo long time😭😭😭😭😭whrrre have u been??
Wow. That was a lot all around. I can’t imagine how much it all costs, what it must’ve been like and how much of your energy it took.
Miss you and hope you are doing well 💕💕 thank you for inspiring us to never give up
What’s everyones experience with olaplex been like, which products do you recommend?
I saw these videos too late unfortunately. My hair is not at all the same anymore. I’ve seen results with very expensive PRP and infrared. But that’s it. I’m still experiencing hair loss and frizz. It’s heartbreaking and I know it’s just hair, but it’s a part of my body. Losing any part of your body (hair, teeth, skin) in a permanent way is so sad.
Wishing you well! 🙏🙏CGM destroyed my whole hair. I first used Deva some 10 years ago and it dried my hair as well as disrupted my curl pattern even back there.
I moved on to other brands, but after 7 years I had a head full of dry, opaque, 2B/2C/3A thin hair when it was shine, 3A/3B and medium to coarse before I started it... while using the so called prohibited ingredients.
I fell for the propaganda I'd keep my hair and avoid bad substances, which is inexcusable because I am a chemist. 😠
I decided to do something when people asked me what I was doing to my hair that I was losing my curls and the hair fall became too much.
A series of coincidences, tests that came back fine and an androgenetic diagnostic I didn't accept, I turned to my routine. I finally realized my hair/scalp loves sulfates/silicones and don't like oils (coconut in particular), which are in everything.
I am not saying the method is bad for everyone. It didn't work for me. Three y later, my hair is still recovering, but my curl pattern has mostly been back while I went back to use what I always used. It is getting thicker again, my crown is fuller and the hair is shine again.
I even went back to my ginger hair dye and could keep my curls. All in all, I am happy with my hair. Never again I'll fall for product propaganda without deep research on what it does.🤔🤔
Thank you!
As someone who has testet the CGM but seeing hair loss, flat, lifeless, no shine, and dead looking hair, I was thinking about quitting, but everyone said "its transition, hang in there... try this and that" and I've kept trying, thinking I did something wrong... But your comment made me realise its not just me...
I will now go back to my regular products, which my hair loved, just deep condition and squish more often ;)
**NB: Have never tried DevaCurl as they are not easily available in Norway!
@@Anugita I am glad my story helped you. I also heard it was just the transition phase. I spent 7 years waiting for this transition phase to pass, insisting it was something I was doing wrong, jumping brands and in the end my hair got ruined.
I like to tell my story so people get aware that if your hair gets bad after starting the method and never improves, it ain't for you. If people recognize the signs earlier, maybe they won't get to the point I did.
My routine consists of shampoo and conditioner (every day unless I am tired😂). Then, I do the oil-cream-gel styling. I use Schwarzkopf Dark Oil, my leave-in (I have several) and gel (Osis+ Bouncy Curls, Curlsmith Flexible Gel or Seda Boom Oil in Gel, the last one is Brazilian).
I detangle with the Tangle Teezer and style with the Denman D31 or the Tangle Teezer Ultimate. I bought recently the scalp massage brush from Tangle Teezer and I love it.
I also use the Mane and Choice The Alfa Hair Oil Growth, Hobe Labs Energizer hair follicle stimulato and Greensations Thermascalp serum to threat my scalp and improve the hair coming from it.
Ramadan gift 💜💜💜
Glad to see your hair is recovering and that you're feeling better. I was wondering how you were doing. Definitely going to check out that documentary.
I really want you to come back so we can hear your story and how you got back at them
You are real life Jasmine. Glad to hear from you 🤗 It is wonderful that you have recovered.
I'm really glad you're back and doing better. I just watched the documentary and finding out you had to get hearing aids was rough. I'm sorry you're going through that, and I'm glad you're on the road to recovery.
dude i was literally just checking her channel yesterday to see what was going on. wild. we missed you.
Just shaved your hair it will grow your hair
Spisha! Am so happy you're back! 😭😍🤗
Heeeey!!! NICE TO SEE YOU AGAAAIN!!!!! I love to see you so recovered and smiling I jope you are fine and happy 🥰
Thank you for your update. It’s good to see that you were feeling strong enough to film and post this. Sending you lots of love ☺️
AYESHA YOURE ALIVEEEE
mielle and innersense just joined the list of questionable formula change.
Lol I already shaved mine off a month ago🥲
Bonus tips: eat salmon, avocado, olive oil, seaweed, almonds, chicken and eggs, and in general as many proteins and good fats as you can
And ALWAYS do research to NEVER fall into pseudoscience
😭😂 why did I thought this was a mental thing not actually tips on growing hair
I just got my hair back!! I used deva curl almost 3 years ago and I was sooo sad cause it ruined my hair only after one use!! I’m happy your hair is better now!
I’m type 2c/3a but I’m learning that having my hair always open and full of products is not the best idea! I started to wash my hair less frequently and wear them in braids and have them off my face and clothes. This is how women wore their hair and could grew it so long for centuries! Just a though for curlies who want to grow long beautiful hair. Maybe consider the older costumes for keeping the hair healthy. Washing often and lots of products beside having your hair always open can lead to more damage.
You have such a beautiful hair
Wish mine was like that
Thank you for the tips will try 😊
where did that goat come from lol
I’m a diva curl damaged woman as well and had to repair my hair regrow my hair with vitamins and only natural products. Don’t know why I switched from my natural products to diva curl in the first place. It totally ruined my hair but things to my persistence and gradually trimming my hair my hair is beautiful now. Thank you for your bravery
WELCOME BACK MASTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU are not aware how happy I am you are back
Awesome tips!!! Hey I just watched Not So Pretty. Thank you for sharing your story and journey!
The doc is what brought me here and I'm glad to see everything is looking up. Just wondering what my curly hair community thinks of Cantu products, because I feel that my hair is thinning and Cantu is the only product I've been using.
Not me crying out of happiness to see your face and ahhh Ayesha I just adore you! ❤
Other than natural ingredients what specific products would you recommend for curly hair like yours? My hair should look like yours but it hasn’t in A LONG time and I haven’t even been using Deva Curl. I haven’t found any good products yet that work for my hair and seeing your hair is really encouraging!
YOU... my Love... set me on a course of transformation. I thought I was going CRAZY until I saw your video...it literally changed my life! I am so so so so sooooo happy you are healthy, and recovering and alive and well.
So much love to you and for you!!!
Just randomly thought of you, so glad to see a positive update! Hold strong 💜
I suffer from similar scalp issues. Can you please provide any more tips for how to apply the black seed oil/aloe vera gel? Do I dilute the black seed with coconut oil or just apply a few drops straight to the scalp? I was also prescribed steroids but terrified of using them.
You were the FIRST person I saw with curly hair that made me realize that curls can be beautiful!! I’m so thankful for you and incredibly proud!! The struggle and journey you went through breaks my heart but I am happy you are getting through it ❤️ curls are a form of personality, of self and ever think of my curls leaving me is to scary ❤️❤️
I love the *let's just skip the intro* !!!!! Finally someone with some sense
You take care of that hair better than most people take care of a child. I would have cut it. Also I saw you on the HBO documentary Not so Pretty and came here to check if there was any updates, hopefully your health continues to improve.
I live in Dominican Republic, and we have a brand of products called Afrolove which is the one I mostly use, when I watched the documentary, they mentioned ingredients and turns out all of them had it and I've been dealing with a seborrhea flare up for months (I do suffer from it and psoriasis but it usually lasts days at most) and I've noticed more hair loss lately, threw all of them out. You might have saved me from a lot of health issues I don't need on top of the ones I already have.
I was literally thinking about you yesterday! Glad to hear youre healing ❤
Girl crushing hard! Loved the insight on your hair care recovery. Sending positive energy/vibes/well wishes your way my dear.
