My hair is 3c/4a and pretty big(about bra strap length) All my friends keep saying I have "that good hair" and i always say that all healthy hair is good hair, no matter the texture/type. It makes me feel bad sometimes because there is a girl that has a twa and her hair is really pretty(looks 4c) but no one tells her that. so I told her that her hair is pretty
SEANA SPARKLE GIRL!!! Like no - i TAKE CARE of my hair. I deep condition once a week, refrain from heat & chemicals, moisturize weekly, etc. Meanwhile yo ass gettin a press every 2 weeks, no deep conditon, combing dry hair, and puttin relaxers and texturizers every time u get some new growth 😒
AMEN!! to ignoring the natural hair community. I remember last year when I went natural and I was literally breaking my pockets listening to some of these naturalistas and these rules ..when I finally stopped and did what i thought worked for ME AND MY HAIR is when I FINALLY saw it flourishing ..AWESOME vid btw keep doing you.
I'm still trying to find my flow I have spent money on products I would never buy and feel like I got no results. But I use to use grease and my hair was fine with it. Even sulfur was great. Natural hair journey has a hit and miss for me sometimes.
Girl, that mixed hair part is so annoying 😒. When my hair was relaxed or even now when my hair is frizzy, I am always Black. But when my curls are clearly defined people ask am I mixed. Chile Black hair is pretty and great too. Anyways, thanks Bri for your great tips!
I hate that so much! I went to a hair salon to get my hair done and when they was washing my hair the lady complimented my curls then asked me if I’m mixed 🙂 why can’t I just be a black girl with beautiful hair
This spoke to me on a molecular level. Thank you Bri. I too get the "it's cause you're mixed" comment 🙄Family is Jamaican so they're always like "is cause yuh mix up mix up" and I'm like.... it's cause I take care of my hair.... how bout you try it for a change.
relatable, these Jamaicans ask me this everyday I walk on the road, like hello please, my hair was short and I took care of it and it grew, and you gonna tell me cause 'im coolie' ignorant and irritating
That mixed shit and natural 'rules' are the two most annoying things that come with natural hair. No, I'm not mixed. My hair is curly. And I shampoo my scalp AND STRANDS weekly.
No shade towards black girls, but girls of other races are able to grow their hair really fast. But I don't think it has to do with their race, I think it's the methods they use. They don't oil their scalp, they brush their hair everyday, and they also shampoo a minimum of once a week. They might be on to something.
aegy00 No specific race grows hair faster than the other. Everyone's hair typically grows at the same rate but can vary based on genetics, which still has nothing to do with race. Now, people with looser hair textures clearly may *look* like their hair grows longer, but that's only because their hair texture is loose and doesn't coil and retract like natural hair, but they still don't grow hair at a faster pace.
aegy00 And girl, they do those techniques because of their hair texture, they don't need to oil their hair because their hair is already super oily, reasons why a lot of white people wash their hair everyday. And if they don't comb their hair everyday, it's gonna come out ratted. Lmao you follow how a white person does their hair and you're gonna end up bald headed 💀
aegy00 ummm no. It just seems that way because of all the shrinkage we get with our hair. Also if the hair is breaking at the same rate it’s growing, a person will feel as if their hair is not growing.
I'm so bad at actually massaging my scalp. But when you said people with straight hair who wash their hair more often (stimulate the scalp) usually grew hair quicker... YOU BLEW MY MIND Lol I never thought of it that way
*TIPS IN ORDER* Scalp stimulation- 3:00 Lazy hair days- 3:59 Physical activities- 5;46 Dark or natural hair colors- 6:01 What you eat- 6:45 Just DO YOU- 7:13 Cut out negative people- 9:23
I loved hearing you say that you ignore the curly hair community! I did the same thing without even knowing and my hair grew so quickly in 10 months after I chopped it. I didn’t do anything special, just did the quickest and easiest thing for my schedule. I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels this way
I used to dye my hair black and I noticed that it looked a lot healthier bc it was shiner, now that I let the dye grow out, my natural hair color is an ashy brown and it doesn’t look as moisturized as my black hair although it’s just as moisturized!!! Making me want to go black again!
I mean, if you rock a wash n go for like 8 days straight, I can see how you can get away with shampooing every wash without drying it out. You would need a really moisturizing shampoo. By chance, what shampoo do you use?
Adira Kalon whether shes mixed or not, her hair texture does play a role in length. Specifically RETAINING length. Her curls are not frizzy in any way shape or form. My hair dries out midway through the day. Courser textures tend to have more trouble with absorbing moisture. So if your hair is dry and course, youll likely see more breakage than someone who has looser curls and smoother strands, but the same hair routine. Her hair texture doesnt mean it grows faster, it means it retains more of the length with less work.
I completely understand what you’re trying to say but it’s not true. Yes some textures are more prone to being dry that just means you have to keep it more moisturized . so texture does not determine retention of length . Some types of hair may require more work in order to retain the length yes, but it is still growing and is not growing faster or slower than any other hair . You just have to know how to care for it to keep the length your growing . She is retaining length because she knows how to care for her hair not because of the texture that she has.
Gh Gh Coarse hair retains length more easily than fine hair because the strands are thicker and less likely to break. The group most known having coarse hair are Asian people.
Adira Kalon I agree with you, I am mixed and my hair grows slowly (3a/3b and it is shoulder length) and my cousin has 4c hair and is waist length (she is not mixed). So I never understood why people think you have to be mixed to have long hair
It's true man, most of yall are so BRAINWASHED ( i was too) to following these natural hair guru's "rules" . most of them always tell yall to buy so much shit, etc. I always thought I had to get that electric shampoo brush, this certain brush, oils, etc. but I just don't have money like that so I stopped and thought about what my mom did to my hair when i was younger. before the relaxer i had full, armpit length hair when stretched out. And all my mom did was make sure my hair was combed out every other day if not every day, moisturized my hair with softee/pink lotion, and shampoo/condition my hair with VO5. thats under $20. I transitioned and cut the relaxer out my hair in May and now my hair is neck length and collar bone length when stretched just by following with what my mom did : moisturize and comb out my hair. And if I run out of sulfate free sham/con i sure as hell don't stress out about it anymore and use vo5 (which i have stocked up.)
Waifu yes same here. Back then my hair was so healthy. I went back to pink lotion. Which in my opinion the best moisturizer out there and my hair been going back like crazy.
neutral nutella 8:48 she said she still avoids sulphates. But i agree with u, I use a sulphate shampoo whenever my hair needs a REALLY deep & thorough cleanse and I always pre-poo prior to, but I prefer a moisturizing shampoo most days
I’ve watched so many hair growth videos and this one by far has been the best 👏🏾 everything you’ve said you have been doing, is exactly what I’ve been doing and I’ve already seen a dramatic difference in the growth of my hair in just months!!! 😍 Which has honestly left me in amazement considering my hair RARELY grows! Props to you girl!! 👏🏾👏🏾
I couldn’t relate any better. I felt like the “lazy way” of taking care of my hair was when it grew best. People stay assuming I was mixed, but their faces be so surprised when I tell them I’m pure Nigerian 😭 like all Africans are suppose to have “nappy hair” apparently 🤔 like no boo I take care of my hair lol
In case you like to know how people land on your page.. I subbed to Halfrican Beaute and she mentions you (and flashes your pic) in one of her videos as inspo early on in her journey. Totally see why she follows you lol xo
I don't know if you are going to see this comment because I see this video is a couple of years old. I just discovered you and I have subscribed and I have to say Bri, you are a breath of fresh air dear! I love the message that you tried to convey in this video and I feel you when you talk about how people make comments about your hair and you being "mixed" and all that crap. It is always been so annoying to me those kind of comments. I am a black woman of a certain age I am much older than you and I have been dealing with the same kind of issues all of my life and it's very frustrating. But I just really want to encourage you to keep being yourself And I'd just really admire the fact that you aren't afraid to go against the grain so to speak. That you don't feel the need to follow the crowd or follow the trends-- that you are confident enough to make your own path and to break out of the crowd. That's wonderful and I am that way as well which is probably why I just really wanted to say something to you to let you know that you have a wonderful message and I just think you probably have a lot more to offer than you realize not just about hair. So I'm just so proud of you and I don't evev know you but I just hope you will continue being the beautiful spirit that you are. I hope that you realize that it's people like you who are going to help change the world. We can all do our part little-by-little one step at a time and as long is we are not afraid to stand our ground and are willing to be the change that we wish to see in the world.
the best method you said was ignoring the natural hair community ughhh. its not about how to grow healthy hair its more like how to build a tower use this use that buy this buy that and alot of work plus alot of money for products may not be exactly for you hair. you are so honest i believed every single word you said
Yoooo I don’t even really watch Natural Hair care videos anymore cuz I kinda have my hair down packed by now. I’ve been natural for 4 years and I had to big chop for a second time in March cuz I was doing what everyone on TH-cam said to do rather than listening to my hair. I think a routine is good for ur hair as long as ur hair isn’t at a detriment because of that routine. So I try to only moisturize every couple of days. But if my hairs dry, IMMA MOISTURIZE IT. or like I try to only use shampoo 2x a month. But if my scalp is dutty BEST believe imma wash it. And my hair has changed curl pattern, density, length and I have multiple textures on my head. So I have to kinda go with the flow when it comes to my hair. Rn I’m all abt protective styling. I try to keep a style in for like a week or 2 but hey if I feel like taking it out and rocking a fro for a couple of days I will. U just gotta do what works for u
Bri is bomb with the back to back to back videos 🙌🏾 (gang gang) notification gang. Love everything you do...patiently waiting for more Draw with Bri and Poetry hour ☕️🤙🏾🤙🏾
this video reminded me of my accidental hair care that helped my hair grow drastically. i often hear don't wet it every day, don't touch it everyday, but for my hair, that is actually what helped. DAILY drenching, daily application of products i just rinsed out, and small sections when applying products which helped with breakage. even though i could go 2-3 days with the right products because they would keep the curl, when i finally did re-wet to style again, i would have more breakage by waiting that amount of time. i used to put aussie conditioner in my hair every day and would really work on the ends. i forgot how well this worked due to listening to everyone else and trying the things they do. thanks bri for the reminder to DO YOU!
I'm mixed and what really annoys me is when people say my hair is short when actually it just has a tight curl pattern and it's actually longer than thiers
Definitely agree with the last tip ... I was really stressed out and around negative people, now that I’m not stressed out and not around negativity my hair grew dramatically within a month of changing my surrounding ❤️
I've been searching for natural hair growth tips and NOTHING HAS WORKED ...... except this video!!!! Thank you so so so much Bri your the absolute best plus your videos are bomb!
I love how you're doing your own thing and not trying to abide by everything everyone on youtube says about hair care. It really gave me insight to how I should take care of my hair and that is by doing whatever works for _me_ regardless of someone else's experience. Love your videos [& makeup lol], keep up the hard work! :)
I love the intro's they are so different and unique and so you ! It starts off great and ends even better . I can't wait to see more progression within your TH-cam industry . Love you bri 💛
okay woah the part about putting your hair in buns increasing the blood flow to the scalp explains SO MUCH! without going into my old long ass routine, I used to have hella long hair and I would just throw it into a bun after I combed it in the shower and it would grow SO! FAST! but now my hair is incredibly short and I don't have enough hair to do anything with so it just kinda sits and doesnt grow as fast. that honestly explains so much. AND THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY THIS EXPLAIS SO MUCH
I almost caught the holy ghost when you said how irritating it is when people think because you're mixed your hair automatically grows faster. Educate the ignorant!
I would like my stepmom (she’s Polish) to understand this. When at one point my hair was super long but was shrunken, she always told me that I couldn’t grow long hair because I was full black and that her daughter will have longer hair. Long story short, both her daughters suffered from extreme heat damage (she blow drys and flat irons their hair DAILY) and she had to cut it all off (waist length to neck length). I told her from the beginning that even though I am black, healthy hair is moisturized hair, not straight hair. She still doesn’t listen. I make them natural hair products because she’s sure that what I put in my hair won’t work in theirs. I’ve cut my hair off four times and each time within a year I get it to grow shoulder length. I wish people would understand that it’s ignorant to think that straight hair is naturally healthy and more beautiful.
I love this video so much because you gave the BASIC information, that everyone can relate to and figure out not the “This is what you need to do!” This is amazing!
My hair is the longest it’s ever been and it’s mainly cuz I make sure it’s moisturized and I wear wigs 😂 I don’t have the time to do my hair anymore so wigs allow me to have so many different looks and help me maintain length cuz I have moisturized braids underneath
I respect you so much more for being real and saying ignore the know it alls and the rules because honestly I too just noticed that when I stopped listening to the “teachers” and learned and grew within myself my journey was much more peaceful and easier 🌻
Just found your channel and immediately subscribed, I love your humor and use of clips and honestly everything about you rn - black girl magic frfr sis ♥️
I’m so glad you said you ignored the natural hair community .... THANK THE LOOOOORD!!!! Bc I watch natural hair videos of course but I still do things that work for my hair , like sometimes I get lazy with my hair and sometimes I straighten my hair TOO MUCH but my hair still grows super fast. That’s why I finally cut my hair bc I know with braids and weaves my hair gonna flourish 💁🏽
Your video was so refreshing after I just watched a video by someone who claimed to grow 1 inch of hair in 4 hours. I was so frustrated and was feeling like youtube is full of so much complete BS. You're pretty and smart. And honest too. And funny as well. What a great combination.
I always try to look for youtubers with a similar hair texture to myself and you happen to be one of the very few that has a similar texture to mine. It just sucks because where i'm from, very few girls rock their hair natural so im kinda on this journey alone.
yoooo I've been watching you for a while and I must say I notice ridiculous amounts of skill development on the video editing tip. Good job girlie, your videos been looking super nice and professional, but still colorful, love it!
Abia-kyarna i didn't have a pattern at all but if you use Eco styling gel it starts off your curls then once you keep using it all you have to do it wet it and the curls form
Lol same I did my own thing🙄 everybody so stuck on what works for other people’s hair and that’s why their hair routines isn’t working for them and a shampoo everytime
I just cut my own hair off and I have been experimenting with products and styles to keep my hair moisturized and sleek. My hair is a short Afro and your video has helped me to value my own method and to trust my own self to stimulate hair growth and strength. I appreciate your being genuine and sharing tips about deep conditioning. I will try that, I’m in college and this helps girl! Omg I can write a book but I will say thanks for the inspiration and love 💕 I love to moisturize with my hands : design curl and shine, after a wash and conditioning, I put gel in afterwards in with my hands, then I put natural coconut oil. I’d like to try and incorporate a curling gel but they’re pretty expensive. I agree physical, mental, and diet encourages an overall optimal health, especially skin, hair as nails. Okay 👌🏿 Talk to you later girl!
Bruh I always get that, “what u mixed with” line!! Like why I gotta be mixed to have decent looking hair 🙄🙄 our own people feed into these dumb stereotypes that other people put on us & it’s dumb. Black people are capable of being pretty & growing hair too I mean damn 😐😐
princesslukeia before I started researching natural hair care. I was clueless and thought most black people will long curly hair were mixed. I laugh at my ignorance. but honestly I didn't know I had curly hair until I chopped my hair off and started to let it grow in natural. I had no clue lol. I was 23 when I first learned I had curly hair. my mom didn't know how to properly take care of my sisters' and my hair. it's nice to know all the things I know now and my daughter is 1 and I know how to take care of her hair.
Camille Rose Naturals Algae Renew Deep Conditioner. It's pricey. $22 for 8oz. But it's worth it. It puts the moisture in so crazy. But you HAVE to follow the instructions and leave it on for no more than an hour. Once I left this on overnight and I literally had to shampoo my hair again because my hair was so hydrated that it felt like I had product in even AFTER I rinsed it out.
I bought a Laila Ali (portable dryer) from Amazon and I use my favorite conditioner, put a plastic cap on and set it to low for 15 min. Rinse in cold water.
I use shampoo too! Co-wash is not for me, my hair doesn't feel refreshed with it alone. AND most of the popular products that most Naturalistas use, didn't work for me. So doing what works for you is essential. I recently did the porosity test and found out I had low porosity, so me using "protein' conditioners and the alike to strengthen my hair was working against the kid. I just tried Shea Moisture's Low Porosity S, C , & LC and was soooo happy I finally got what I've been needing! Overall, do what works for you boo! Thank you for this reality check!
My hair is 3c/4a and pretty big(about bra strap length) All my friends keep saying I have "that good hair" and i always say that all healthy hair is good hair, no matter the texture/type. It makes me feel bad sometimes because there is a girl that has a twa and her hair is really pretty(looks 4c) but no one tells her that. so I told her that her hair is pretty
you are adorable, im sure it made her feel awesome 👏
ALL HAIR IS GOOD HAIR💓
Ella Henderson Exactly! Good.hair is healthy hair, no matter the texture, type or porosity. 😄
Not mine. Thanks for the positive message though.🙂
You're right! It took me forever to come to this realization considering I have true 4C hair...
Ella Henderson Amen!
Healthy hair is good hair**
Yeah I can't stand when people say "She has to be mixed if her hair is that long"
SEANA SPARKLE SO TRUE
SEANA SPARKLE
GIRL!!! Like no - i TAKE CARE of my hair. I deep condition once a week, refrain from heat & chemicals, moisturize weekly, etc. Meanwhile yo ass gettin a press every 2 weeks, no deep conditon, combing dry hair, and puttin relaxers and texturizers every time u get some new growth 😒
lol when someone says that i will be like i am mixed with black and black.
I have the same problem and i’m Black! Just lighter skinned
im mixed but my hair arent that long

CharMonroe I know it’s like we aren’t allowed to have anything that could be considered “Good” because we aren’t mixed with something.
IttyBittyRaee I know right! Smh
Hlbb4 Why would someone say that you're mixed? I don't get it at all?
I love how you're not afraid to be honest.
This spoke to me on a molecular level. Thank you Bri. I too get the "it's cause you're mixed" comment 🙄Family is Jamaican so they're always like "is cause yuh mix up mix up" and I'm like.... it's cause I take care of my hair.... how bout you try it for a change.

Rookie Vegan thanks for info imma see if its in syndication
Any colour, any length,any style I love her hair.
Physical activity or just good health habits in general definitely do help hair growth. I noticed my hair grew more when I was an athlete.
I used to dye my hair black and I noticed that it looked a lot healthier bc it was shiner, now that I let the dye grow out, my natural hair color is an ashy brown and it doesn’t look as moisturized as my black hair although it’s just as moisturized!!! Making me want to go black again!
Iyda Michael I’ve always done a black rinses cause my ashy brown color looks soooo dull 🙃
Caroline which one do you use !
i can relate!!!!! my black hair felt so .much thicker too
My daughter's and I have this issue. I never could figure out how to deal with it.
Iyda Michael yup! Same for me. Dyed my hair back black few weeks ago
"Bruh NO. That's just because I was literally on FaceTime with a deep condition bonnet on." I love you lol
I love the creativity she puts in every video
Loool I shampoo my hair every wash and people look at me like I'm crazy🌚
NICKYBNATURAL but what’s bad about washing your hair every wash??
Kerri Ella oh ok so just use conditioner?
I mean, if you rock a wash n go for like 8 days straight, I can see how you can get away with shampooing every wash without drying it out. You would need a really moisturizing shampoo. By chance, what shampoo do you use?

shout out to bri for keeping it real about the natural hair nazis because honestly, most of us don’t care about the “rules”. we go with the flow 😂

"I ignore the natural hair community.. I just did my own thing 🎶🎵🎶" hilarioussss 😂 best advice for naturals lol I agree. Your edits are dope #subbed
In case you like to know how people land on your page.. I subbed to Halfrican Beaute and she mentions you (and flashes your pic) in one of her videos as inspo early on in her journey. Totally see why she follows you lol xo
I don't know if you are going to see this comment because I see this video is a couple of years old. I just discovered you and I have subscribed and I have to say Bri, you are a breath of fresh air dear!
I love the message that you tried to convey in this video and I feel you when you talk about how people make comments about your hair and you being "mixed" and all that crap. It is always been so annoying to me those kind of comments. I am a black woman of a certain age I am much older than you and I have been dealing with the same kind of issues all of my life and it's very frustrating. But I just really want to encourage you to keep being yourself And I'd just really admire the fact that you aren't afraid to go against the grain so to speak. That you don't feel the need to follow the crowd or follow the trends-- that you are confident enough to make your own path and to break out of the crowd. That's wonderful and I am that way as well which is probably why I just really wanted to say something to you to let you know that you have a wonderful message and I just think you probably have a lot more to offer than you realize not just about hair. So I'm just so proud of you and I don't evev know you but I just hope you will continue being the beautiful spirit that you are. I hope that you realize that it's people like you who are going to help change the world. We can all do our part little-by-little one step at a time and as long is we are not afraid to stand our ground and are willing to be the change that we wish to see in the world.
the best method you said was ignoring the natural hair community
ughhh.
its not about how to grow healthy hair its more like how to build a tower
use this use that buy this buy that and alot of work
plus alot of money for products may not be exactly for you hair.
you are so honest i believed every single word you said
Yoooo I don’t even really watch Natural Hair care videos anymore cuz I kinda have my hair down packed by now. I’ve been natural for 4 years and I had to big chop for a second time in March cuz I was doing what everyone on TH-cam said to do rather than listening to my hair. I think a routine is good for ur hair as long as ur hair isn’t at a detriment because of that routine. So I try to only moisturize every couple of days. But if my hairs dry, IMMA MOISTURIZE IT. or like I try to only use shampoo 2x a month. But if my scalp is dutty BEST believe imma wash it. And my hair has changed curl pattern, density, length and I have multiple textures on my head. So I have to kinda go with the flow when it comes to my hair. Rn I’m all abt protective styling. I try to keep a style in for like a week or 2 but hey if I feel like taking it out and rocking a fro for a couple of days I will. U just gotta do what works for u
Bri is bomb with the back to back to back videos 🙌🏾 (gang gang) notification gang. Love everything you do...patiently waiting for more Draw with Bri and Poetry hour ☕️🤙🏾🤙🏾
this video reminded me of my accidental hair care that helped my hair grow drastically. i often hear don't wet it every day, don't touch it everyday, but for my hair, that is actually what helped. DAILY drenching, daily application of products i just rinsed out, and small sections when applying products which helped with breakage. even though i could go 2-3 days with the right products because they would keep the curl, when i finally did re-wet to style again, i would have more breakage by waiting that amount of time. i used to put aussie conditioner in my hair every day and would really work on the ends. i forgot how well this worked due to listening to everyone else and trying the things they do. thanks bri for the reminder to DO YOU!
OMGGGGG we’re hair twins!! I’ve done the same thing for years and my hair is now mid-back.
I'm mixed and what really annoys me is when people say my hair is short when actually it just has a tight curl pattern and it's actually longer than thiers
What curl pattern do you have?
Misanthropic Kitty 4a /4b
same most my mixed friends have like 3b hair while i have a 3c/4a
Helena Afunda ikr .. like stop hating
Omg we have the same name and Im mixed too!
Definitely agree with the last tip ... I was really stressed out and around negative people, now that I’m not stressed out and not around negativity my hair grew dramatically within a month of changing my surrounding ❤️
This video was so hilarious especially the beginning clips about genetics and mixed chicks comments!! Loved it!!
Joy King omg yes! 😂😂
I had mixed race friends that couldn't grow hair.
I've been searching for natural hair growth tips and NOTHING HAS WORKED ...... except this video!!!! Thank you so so so much Bri your the absolute best plus your videos are bomb!
Your hair is gorgeous girl!! I agree with you and the mixed comments, when I where my hair curly I get it all the time!
HAHA I work in a hispanic area so I know how it is!!!
I have 3c hair and all I get is “what are you mixed with?”
I hate this. Somebody told me I wasn’t a true natural because I had “good” hair I was like WHAT?!?!
Wear*
I love how you're doing your own thing and not trying to abide by everything everyone on youtube says about hair care. It really gave me insight to how I should take care of my hair and that is by doing whatever works for _me_ regardless of someone else's experience. Love your videos [& makeup lol], keep up the hard work! :)
I looovveeeee how you edit your videos to make them entertaining and it really lifts my mood. Thanks for putting the time in editing ❤❤❤
Seen you with every hair color and can literally rock anything but the black does make your hair look a lot healthier
I love the intro's they are so different and unique and so you ! It starts off great and ends even better . I can't wait to see more progression within your TH-cam industry . Love you bri 💛
okay woah the part about putting your hair in buns increasing the blood flow to the scalp explains SO MUCH! without going into my old long ass routine, I used to have hella long hair and I would just throw it into a bun after I combed it in the shower and it would grow SO! FAST! but now my hair is incredibly short and I don't have enough hair to do anything with so it just kinda sits and doesnt grow as fast. that honestly explains so much.
AND THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY THIS EXPLAIS SO MUCH
I almost caught the holy ghost when you said how irritating it is when people think because you're mixed your hair automatically grows faster. Educate the ignorant!
Shanti Arlandria 😂😂😂😂dwl @ 'I almost caught the holy ghost.' woiii 😂.
what do you mean by that?
Lol I'm so OVER hearing that excuse man anyone's hair can grow if you take care of it properly. Bri was dropping facts
Shanti Arlandria ikr, indeed she is.
I would like my stepmom (she’s Polish) to understand this. When at one point my hair was super long but was shrunken, she always told me that I couldn’t grow long hair because I was full black and that her daughter will have longer hair. Long story short, both her daughters suffered from extreme heat damage (she blow drys and flat irons their hair DAILY) and she had to cut it all off (waist length to neck length). I told her from the beginning that even though I am black, healthy hair is moisturized hair, not straight hair. She still doesn’t listen. I make them natural hair products because she’s sure that what I put in my hair won’t work in theirs. I’ve cut my hair off four times and each time within a year I get it to grow shoulder length. I wish people would understand that it’s ignorant to think that straight hair is naturally healthy and more beautiful.
I've been natural for 5 years now & these tips are the first one that are not so obvious and that I can find in every video. Thank you 🤗🤗
I can only hope my hair gets this gorgeous one day
It will! Just give it some love and keep up the good nutrition!
It will :)
I love this video so much because you gave the BASIC information, that everyone can relate to and figure out not the “This is what you need to do!” This is amazing!
My hair is the longest it’s ever been and it’s mainly cuz I make sure it’s moisturized and I wear wigs 😂 I don’t have the time to do my hair anymore so wigs allow me to have so many different looks and help me maintain length cuz I have moisturized braids underneath
I loovvve the fact that you do what you want!!!! And what works for you. real ish...love it
Brown too turnt Tina😍.
I know I am not the only one guys😩
I respect you so much more for being real and saying ignore the know it alls and the rules because honestly I too just noticed that when I stopped listening to the “teachers” and learned and grew within myself my journey was much more peaceful and easier 🌻
Definition of a carefree black queen 👸🏽 ✨ @rachelilyy
This is one of the best and realest natural hair tips videos I've seen. You're so pretty btw!
The lashes tho 😍😍
Your whole vibe is EVERYTHING. I decided to haphazardly look up some tutorials for inspiration and girl WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE
Okay I’m cracking up at the sir video 😂 love the hair 😍
Just found your channel and immediately subscribed, I love your humor and use of clips and honestly everything about you rn - black girl magic frfr sis ♥️
7:26 my mood when somebody/someone tries to tell me I’m WRONG to prove a point... but we BOTH know that I am RIGHT!!! Lmao 😂 🤣
THANK YOU for these reminders!!! I forgot how on point I was in college. I know EXACTLY what I need to do to grow my crown back :)
Your next video should be “different hairstyles for natural hair”😫 I need to switch it up.
I’m so glad you said you ignored the natural hair community .... THANK THE LOOOOORD!!!! Bc I watch natural hair videos of course but I still do things that work for my hair , like sometimes I get lazy with my hair and sometimes I straighten my hair TOO MUCH but my hair still grows super fast. That’s why I finally cut my hair bc I know with braids and weaves my hair gonna flourish 💁🏽
How does she not have 1 million+ subscribers?!
Your video was so refreshing after I just watched a video by someone who claimed to grow 1 inch of hair in 4 hours. I was so frustrated and was feeling like youtube is full of so much complete BS. You're pretty and smart. And honest too. And funny as well. What a great combination.
Whaaaaaaaat. Dude your shrinkage. Like your hair is ACTUALLY so long
I wish my shrinkage looked like hers shit lol
Right my hair is that length and my shrinkage is a lot more disrespectful
I wish more TH-camrs were like you. You genuinely motivate me all the time
I always try to look for youtubers with a similar hair texture to myself and you happen to be one of the very few that has a similar texture to mine. It just sucks because where i'm from, very few girls rock their hair natural so im kinda on this journey alone.
Osha Sensei We here sis
The edits in these videos are giving me life.
you look soooo much like keke palmer
Chyna Celine wow never thought about that before but she does
I scrolled down the comments to see did anyone else think that or was it just me lol
I never noticed but dang she really does
Chyna Celine lol i didnt notice at first cause i was sooo focused on her hair.. then I seen ya comment.. lol I agree!!
Omg I just notice that
Never get tired of your edits ❤️
genetics does play a huge part of hair growth as well as the money in your pocket, its facts
Yes. But so does the way how u care for it.
And she also stated that it does.
Thanks
YES BRI! COME THRU WITH THE HAIR TIPSSS!
Girl.. you are like..
my spirit animal 🤔
yoooo I've been watching you for a while and I must say I notice ridiculous amounts of skill development on the video editing tip. Good job girlie, your videos been looking super nice and professional, but still colorful, love it!
your hair is so gorgeous omfg love it but for some reason I don't think my hair has a curl pattern💫❄🍒
Abia-kyarna I’m sure it does, sometimes it takes time for certain peoples curl patterns to come in, it took mine a while too
Abia-kyarna bentonite clay. That's all you need. And deep conditioner.
Abia-kyarna i didn't have a pattern at all but if you use Eco styling gel it starts off your curls then once you keep using it all you have to do it wet it and the curls form
What exactly does it do?
Try Aunt Jackie's "don't shrink gel, when you apply it finger comb your hair!
Bri Hall, your video inserts are HILARIOUS!!
Lol same I did my own thing🙄 everybody so stuck on what works for other people’s hair and that’s why their hair routines isn’t working for them and a shampoo everytime
I just cut my own hair off and I have been experimenting with products and styles to keep my hair moisturized and sleek. My hair is a short Afro and your video has helped me to value my own method and to trust my own self to stimulate hair growth and strength. I appreciate your being genuine and sharing tips about deep conditioning. I will try that, I’m in college and this helps girl! Omg I can write a book but I will say thanks for the inspiration and love 💕 I love to moisturize with my hands : design curl and shine, after a wash and conditioning, I put gel in afterwards in with my hands, then I put natural coconut oil. I’d like to try and incorporate a curling gel but they’re pretty expensive. I agree physical, mental, and diet encourages an overall optimal health, especially skin, hair as nails. Okay 👌🏿 Talk to you later girl!
Bruh I always get that, “what u mixed with” line!! Like why I gotta be mixed to have decent looking hair 🙄🙄 our own people feed into these dumb stereotypes that other people put on us & it’s dumb. Black people are capable of being pretty & growing hair too I mean damn 😐😐
princesslukeia facts
princesslukeia before I started researching natural hair care. I was clueless and thought most black people will long curly hair were mixed. I laugh at my ignorance. but honestly I didn't know I had curly hair until I chopped my hair off and started to let it grow in natural. I had no clue lol. I was 23 when I first learned I had curly hair. my mom didn't know how to properly take care of my sisters' and my hair. it's nice to know all the things I know now and my daughter is 1 and I know how to take care of her hair.
💯
I love how you mentioned mental health. It’s so important
You're glowing
LOVE love LOVE this video. Finally somebody seems to be keeping it real!!
It’s not bcuz she’s mixed it’s bcuz she’s responsible
her hair does not look like its mixed texture, it looks like its wet and has a lot of product in it.
LaNita68 there is not such thing as mixed texture. ‘mixed’ people have various hair types. black , African people , have various hair textures
Please suggest some good deep conditioners because ya girl is in desperate need😩😭
DulceShay Just use regular conditioner, put a shower cap on and leave it in overnight
Camille Rose Naturals Algae Renew Deep Conditioner. It's pricey. $22 for 8oz. But it's worth it. It puts the moisture in so crazy. But you HAVE to follow the instructions and leave it on for no more than an hour. Once I left this on overnight and I literally had to shampoo my hair again because my hair was so hydrated that it felt like I had product in even AFTER I rinsed it out.
I bought a Laila Ali (portable dryer) from Amazon and I use my favorite conditioner, put a plastic cap on and set it to low for 15 min. Rinse in cold water.
If you live anywhere near a CVS, they have this Argan Oil Shampoo and conditioner and it's working WONDERS for my very very bleach damaged hair.
I use shampoo too! Co-wash is not for me, my hair doesn't feel refreshed with it alone. AND most of the popular products that most Naturalistas use, didn't work for me. So doing what works for you is essential. I recently did the porosity test and found out I had low porosity, so me using "protein' conditioners and the alike to strengthen my hair was working against the kid. I just tried Shea Moisture's Low Porosity S, C , & LC and was soooo happy I finally got what I've been needing!
Overall, do what works for you boo!
Thank you for this reality check!
chocolate and vanilla swirrrrrrllllll swirrrrrlllllll
Her creativity is just 😍
Chocolate and vanilla, swirl. Swirl

I honestly loovvee your imagination with these clips you insert, like the fairly odd parents! You're amazinggg
