The natural hair meme king commenting on a natural hair queen, this comment section is blessed
Awwwwwwww thank you Will 😭😭❤️❤️
“Messy buns and getting things done” is cute until you pay the consequences a couple weeks later
This was a personal attack and I am calling the police
Z Ma 😂😂
You are my only relief from coronavirus worries 😍😍😍😍

We all have that one time where we just can’t be bothered to go in the shower for ages doing your hair. Then we just keep it in a bun for ages, then forget about our hair. A few weeks later we decide to open our bun and realise what we did and spend hours trying to fix it😭😭😭
So f trueeee
Story of my life
I did this last month and had to cut a knot out luckily it was underneath so you can’t tell but it still hurt my soul to have to cut it 🥺
This used to be me all the time so I just shaved my head clean
yesss, normally its a hassle let alone if your depressed and barley want to take a shower int he first place.
hey, i am a doctor and i noticed your neck, if this thyroid enlargement related to your pregnancy, please talk to your doctor and always keep safe.
God bless you and your family.
Anubis Atef now I just noticed it
I noticed that too.
Hi! I do have a slight thyroid issue but that’s something that I’ve had for years. My situation is under control and well taken care of especially during pregnancy 😊 I noticed my neck in this video as well during editing. My studio lighting definitely make it look way worse than in real life trust me 😂 but thank you for your concern I’m healthy don’t worry 🥰
Anubis Atef hey, good catch.
Amber, please get your thyroid checked. Not just TSH. Also T3 & T4.
My thyroid crapped out on me at 19. Didn’t take my medicine consistently. Started getting a goiter at 22. Made sure to take my medicine consistently ever since. Still feel like crap, but the goiter left and never returned.
Thank you Anubis Atef for chiming in. I'm not a doctor and was going to comment my concern to dear Amber.
Amber keep healthy girl. Babies are like aliens, they get everything they need from you and will wreck some s#@t. Take good care and rest well (as best you can that is).
Girl, have they checked your thyroid? I know you’ve had thyroid issues in the past & your neck looks pretty swollen. Make sure they’re keeping tabs on it. All those hormone changes can affect it. Love you, Girl!
Michelle W I was JUST coming to ask if she had issues with her thyroid! I’ve only seen a cpl videos so I don’t know her back story.
Ashley Allen She & her doctor’s worked together for a while to get her proper med dosage figured out, but I e noticed in her last few videos how swollen her neck looks. I’m seriously worried about her. Hormones can really affect the thyroid, so I REALLY hope her doctors are on top of it.
That is concerning. That's how my mom's neck looked before she got Goiter and had to have thyroid surgery.
Dark Peach I didn’t notice until you mentioned it. But you are correct. Praying all is well
@@Purpl3Pe4ch Thats how my grandmas necked as well! Except she was in denial about her thyroid issues and claimed that people in our family have big necks 😂😂
Girl! You are growing a human inside you, who the hecc will judge you based on HAIR at such time? :D Congratulations on upcoming babaroo, have a great last trimester and smooth delivery
"Ohh happy day" "I need Jesus by my side to part this hair " took me out.
Glad your feeling better, it can be a rollercoaster sometimes. 💞
I’ve gone 5 weeks before. I can’t give you any actual excuse, it’s just that having natural Afro hair is overwhelming for me and if I don’t detangle for a week then I dread the next weekend where I have to detangle as it’s probably so knotty lol! Therefore I avoid it again, and again, and make it worse 😂 Then the detangling takes ‘hours’ (and I ask why I do this to myself, until I get into my 1.5 hours hair day shower) 😩 I’ve only gone 5 weeks once. I get overwhelmed with general life, let alone with my hair 🤣 I’m not washing my hair this weekend, but I will be detangling and twisting. My treat for being consistent for 4ish weeks 🤣
Ahahah this reminds me of my retainer for my teeth. I put off wearing it for a week and then dread putting it in after because I know itll hurt 🤣 also having natural afro hair must be such a task, I love black women's hair though 🥺 you guys are so beautiful and have such gorgeous pronounced features. I'm jealous
서연 aww, I heard that those hurt! So I understand! Sometimes we just have to face it 😶 We are all beautiful 🥰 but thank you. Despite the work the effort does pay off!
@@RPGKingdom64 🥰
I know what you mean on that one. My wash day (about every 2 weeks) shower takes about an hour, and my hair isn't even that long. It's really thick and kinky and tangles so quickly...
Ria Ford I’ve been through this similar situation so many times 😭 that’s why I told myself if imma keep doing this imma at least keep it in a protect style. I have my hair in 2 French braids right now.
I know “black” hair is VASTLY different from “white” hair but omg my scalp gets itchy after a few days of not washing my hair. I also look like I poured oil on my head. It’s so gross. I envy people who can go more than 12 hours without their hair looking oily and gross. Although I definitely don’t envy the work you ladies have to put into natural hair. Having long natural hair is DEDICATION 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Brittany Blankenship ok
And also this is Not about you :)
sexest falsus scroll don’t troll ✌🏼
Yes, it is 😆. I’m a mix between the 2 of you, I can go 7 days without shampooing, but can never go a month. My head hurts when it gets dirty. Our hair is naturally dry, which is why we can go longer that “white hair” which is naturally oily.
sexest falsus stfu child. U trolling
This is how my hair gets too. Literally feels like a matted ball of hair right in the same spot yours was. Ive cried so many tears over it.😬
“When Jesus waaashed” *me echoing it after her*😭😭😭
He washed my sins awayee - I was right there with y'all lol
When this happens to me I always use an oil and finger detangler. The shed hair is always the most terrifying part for me. (and stop apologizing ofc you and your baby's health is the priority.)
Sorry you've been feeling poorly. This is meant kindly, not snarky because your neck looks different than previous videos: have you had thyroid checked? As always, love what you do with your hair, and that you keep it real.
I bet they ran lab tests while she was pregnant. If she had any abnormal thyroid level functions, they would've told her.
I got my hair braided before delivering both of my children. Best decision ever! I was too tired for haircare before giving birth and had no time after the babies arrived.
I wish I did that because yikes......
Girl...1hr and half of detangling!!!!! I think the longest I've gone without washing my hair was 10 days and girl it was knotted af. I'm so happy you're back. I always enjoy watching your videos. You're by far my favorite TH-camr and I'll happily wait for your new videos. Btw your tip on pre-poo has saved me literally hours in the shower detangling my hair. Lots of love from California. 🧡
I'm going through something similar, but my hair is a lot more matted than yours. It's this depression/quarantine/lazy hair. The worst its ever been. I have straight hair on top, then wavy. The matting is so bad they are like ball sized bird nests. I'm using 3 types of brushes and a comb and it's taking me days to detangle taking a break because my scalp starts to hurt. I have long hair to my waist. Never again will I let it get this bad 😅😅😂
Olive oil might help speed up the process. I had at least three particularly bad matts in my fine diameter/thick volume straight-wavy hair yesterday after not detangling it or washing for a month, thinking my braid or banded straight ponytail (elastics along the length of the ponytail like a rope) would be fine with some coconut and argan oil in it, but no. Catastrophe. At first I thought I might have to cut it because the mess seemed impossible to undo even after washing & masque-conditioning it the first time (including an apple cider vinegar cold rinse to clear buildup). After the second shower in which I only used masque, I damp-massaged in some hair masque and olive oil into the worst areas (the latter which I don't normally use because it's too heavy for my hair), then heated everything while wearing a couple of plastic bags as a cap for a few minutes with a hair dryer to help it penetrate. It took me nearly 4 hours straight while watching movies on my laptop to remove the matts very delicately with my fingers and the end tooth of a seamless comb. My hair is past tailbone length and my goal is knee length so I was incredibly upset, but most of the hair that came out was natural shedding that had accumulated and partly caused the tangles and matts, and the loss didn't seem excessive. The length seems to have been miraculously retained...at least most of it. I'm definitely making sure to comb daily from now on! I hope you find what works for your tresses and good luck!
omg im so sorry you’re struggling so much. i know how it it is and your hair sounds really similar to mine so if you didn’t try this already here’s what helped me with my hair:
-section hair, at least 2 sections depending on hair amount -soak one section with gentle stream of lukewarm water -take inexpensive conditioner (a lot LOT, get multiple bottles + use only cgm approved, curlsbot.com to check), -gently apply lemon sized amount (yes lol) to soaked section, only downwards hand strokes on hair -hair soaks up product, apply more until it feels like seaweed (slippery), use lots of conditioner -apply more conditioner on big knots etc gently squeezing it in. keep hair very wet whole time - take wide (!!) tooth comb (imo bamboo with handle is helpful). never normal brushes. VERY carefully start on tips of hair (!!) and detangle knot by knot. go up very slowly. be patient it works well, damage+pain free. keep section soaked.okay to use wet detangling brush after big+matted knots are gone. never pull always be very gentle+patient!! -finally when wide tooth comb goes through section smoothly, braid it away and start next. this works on every hair (: if you have curls check out the curly girl method it seriously helps and makes taking care of hair that always gets tangled much less work and stressful. it’s also inexpensive. hope this helps even tho you probably brushed it by now (:
@@rhythmicelegance4670 thank you. I ended up having to cut a lot of my hair, especially on the right side because that was the worst. It's obvious if I let my hair loose, so I'm going to have to wear a ponytail or braid until I grows some more. I bought this brush called the Knot Dr by Conair. It makes my brushing sooooo much faster and less painful. And the best thing is that I lose barely any hair while brushing. I'm using this cream, shampoo, and conditioner by OGX, and my hair barely gets tangled. It's crazy because my hair would get tangled for no reason even after brushing it. But like I said, not doing that again lol. These products are long my hair maintenance sooo much easier.
@@lilmoon5273 thank you. 😊. Yeah I had to use a lot of conditioner and constantly wet my hair. I unfortunately ended up choosing a lot of my hair because the matting was so bad. My hair was mostly affected on my right side, so it looks really uneven. I'll have to tie my hair back until it grows out and looks more even before I refuse to cut it short lol. But what's help me maintain my hair is this brush called the Knot Dr by Conair. It is gentle on my hair, barely sheds, and makes detangling a whole lot faster and less painful. Some products by OGX are also helping my hair stay tangle free for a lot longer. My hair would get easily tangled for no reason. So hopefully I won't have to end up having this mess again.
It's crazy the amount of hair you have. One section is like my whole head 😂😂💀💀
😂
I used african pride pre shampoo like you suggested, and i have a lot less breakage so THANK YOU!
Amber, dont worry about taking a break a not telling anyone, especially when your pregnant you definitely need to take care of you and the baby...I know for sure I will wait for you to come back. Also, welcome back I've missed you so much!!!🤗👍💖💖💖💖💖
Since my second child, my hair stays in twist. My hair loves itself so much it stays hugging itself! Now that I have 3 kids I cant afford to wear my hair out unless I want to spend ALL DAY regretting it and detangling .
💐To your health, Amber! Glad you’re taking care of yourself, hair is just hair, no shame🕊
even tho i've been watching you for a long time now and i know your method/products for detangling your hair, every time you do it gives me some much peace and it's soooo satisfying to watch! xoxo
I have very fine, long and thin 2C hair that tangles easily. Especially because I wear it in a bun all day and sleep in it too. A few years ago I was going through a rough patch and fell into a bad depression. I didn't wash my hair as often and stopped brushing it entirely. My hair got so matted that it basically turned into one giant dreadlock that was impossible to detangle no matter what I did. So it all had to be cut off. It was pretty devastating but it grew back eventually.
PS: You have absolutely gorgeous hair and congrats on the birth of your new baby :)
Thank you so much for making this video. I struggle w multiple mental health issues/disorders. My self care has plummeted. I have beautiful 30 inch natural red curls and the dandruff I have is so bad and its like dreads. I got a month without washing it and just put it in a bun everyday. I hate it but I can't find the motivation. This video deff helped me and I am going to detangle my hair and take a shower. Also some of the comments make me feel less disgusting and alone
Lauren and Cameron are GOALS. I expected more from Kelly... and I'm still mad at Jessica!!!
But for real, life happens, we got you girl. These videos are super satisfying anyway lol
Daaaannnnngggggg I’ve gone almost three weeks with a struggle bun because I just didn’t have the energy to wash my hair. But a month...you know, I’m actually impressed! 😂 That was a really reasonable amount of shedding for an entire month. I got impatient and pulled too hard and probably pulled some hair out. Enjoy your freshly-washed hair!
The fact that amber played redemption by Skylar stecker is everything. Love you Amber! ❤️
Nobody:
Literally no one :
Amber : *Starting from the bottom now we're here*
Idk why but videos about detangling extremely tangled hair is so satisfying to me!!
love is blind is so good omg! I watched the circle, love is blind, and i am not okay with this... about to watch on my black!
Glad you are feeling better. You talked about the AP pre-poo so much, I had to get it. Girl, you ain't lying. My knots were melting away. I'm not judging you cause I'm going on a month since I was my hair. I have a cold so I can't wash it until I'm better. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
Lmao I just started my new natural hair journey after leaving my hair in buns for 4 months. Let me tell you, wait till postpartum. You won't want to even TOUCH your hair cus you're so busy with the baby lol also my edges fell out 😭😂
Marisha literally me rn. I’m ready to chop it off
Amber, you deserve to take care of yourself. Sometimes, having a peaceful mind is more important and it’s okay to disconnect. Take good care and stay safe! 😘🙏🏼❤️✌🏼😷🙌🏼
Hey Amber😊😊😊Honey no need to apologize. Your fans understand and I'm just glad to see you doing and looking well👌
Yay!!!You've come back😁 We missed you, but I understand...I have 4😊 and your hair is more normal now than its going to be after the baby comes. So take all the time you can to relax and detangle your hair. Can't wait to see your new little one. God bless
I really appreciate how fast you do it. The other day it took me 3 hours to detangle, I'd neglected it for about a month too. Clearly product and a better brush really makes a difference. Side note it's gotten so long since your last video, looking gorgeous!
You and I have completely different hair, but I just love watching your videos. I'm glad that you're feeling better and excited for you as a new mom. Congratulations! Still love the flex rod results you got a couple of years ago best, but you look great in any style!
Girl you can make a pillow with the shed hairs!!! You’re adorable, glad you’re feeling better 💖
Hey girl! Missed you ❤️❤️❤️ by the way if you need anymore breaks take all of the ones that you need k? K.
Deze video opnieuw bekijken na het zien van de insta post van vandaag, kijk je toch opeens met een andere blik naar iedere seconde van deze video. Gelukkig kunnen jullie nu eindelijk volop genieten van jullie meisie ♥️
OMG EARLY!! I love you!! And you are beautiful! 🥰❤️ miss you! I hope the third trimester is going well 🥺❤️
I would love to see your birth vlog!! As someone who lives in the US I am very curious how the whole hospital birth experience is for you in Belgium as I’m sure it is much different!!
No judgement here ... It’s been a month for me too and I’m lying across my bed now watching you detangle your hair🤷🏽♀️😂
I literally binge your videos on my detangling days❤️
Watched this again after your birth vlog came out, you’re so strong to be able to do this when you were dealing with all that, and now you get to be an amazing mom to an amazing baby!
Girl dont apologise for taking care of yourself and your baby! You do you boo we will be here when you are ready 😊 you just take care of you mama and your baby ❤
I’ve had my hair in a ponytail for weeks and I dread this day😂😭
I’m happy that you’re feeling good enough to take time to pamper yourself! Bless you and yours!🥺🙏🏽🤍🤍
I really MISSED YOU. Glad to see you're as Beautiful as ever.😍😍😍😍😍
The pre-poo has so much slip!!! Thanks for taking the time to put us on! May God continue to bless you and baby (and your man) on this beautiful journey to motherhood and beyond.
Amen!
I have that brush and i have to say, it is absolutely the best detangling brush of all I’ve ever tried. I have tried so many. That lil red tangle teezer always tops them.
I love these chit chat detangling videos.
Girl don’t be ashamed, we understand that you have something more important to deal with at the moment and that is OKAY. We love you and hope that you stay calm and relaxed throughout this whole time period in your life. Again, we love you ❤️
Glad you're back but I don't care how long you're gone as long as you're taking care of yourself and your baby. We missed you Beautiful! Happy you're well. Tell baby daddy 👋🏽! 💜🖤
🗣sisssssss!!!! You had us worried 😧 you gotta give us a heads up for all absences 😂😂!! Glad to see you back and looking healthy!! You in the home stretch, you got this👌🏾💪🏾✊🏾!!!
Thank you for I introducing me to the African Pride Pre-Shampoo! My teenaged son has long natural hair that he often neglects and I have to detangle. He has gone almost two months without detangling. His hair is so tangled and starting to lock. I am currently on day 3 of detangling because I have to detangle very small sections and it is exhausting. The pre-poo makes it so much easier. The slip is amazing!
Je haar is prachtig in zowel je before als je after!♥️
I’m in the hospital sick myself. I haven’t touched my hair in 2 weeks. It’s in a high poof and I’m so afraid to derange it when I go home lol. I did learn that hair isn’t a top priority. It ain’t that serious *sometimes* I’m glad you’re feeling better🌸
First❤️❤️ girl you look good Take as much time off as you need we understand
Your videos are getting ridiculously relatable.
Hey amber im in the middle of binge watching your old videos for the 1000000th time❤️🧡 I LOVE YOU LOTS
I just wanted to say that this intro song just brought me back 😮💨
I see comments talking about how beautiful your hair is but girL you are entirely beautifyl!!
Gone two months without detangling. still washed it every week but i never tried to comb/ detangled it. Just did it and I feel good.
I’m so happy for you because you deserve it. Your hair is very beautiful and I love your detangling methods.
Peace Amber, I am really glad that you and the baby are okay. Good video as always , and thank you for explaining the difference between breaking hair and shedding hair.
Why don't you ever use the detangling brush you reviewed thzt was sooo good? Better than the tangle teaser??
I have both brushes. I use the other one when I have really tough sections because the bristles are alot stronger but the bristles are also alot shorter than the tangle teaser so I still use the tangle teaser to get all the way through my sections. I have 4c hair, Amber's curls are alot looser so the tangle teasers longer more flexible bristles probably work better for her. It's something you notice with alot of use. They both work really good though.
@@VenusianVirgo what's the other brush called?
@@84naners Isn't it called EZ detangling brush ?
@@84naners I'm sure she's talking about the Michel Mercier brush
Cz it's shit
Now I know the reason
You are such strong woman 💪
When you was started to sing " When Jesus wash", I couldn't help myself. I started 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love your videos. You're still beautiful
Lol I'm super lazy so I normally wash my hair every 3/4 weeks so a month isn't that crazy for me. What is crazy to me is that you were watching Love is Blind with a straight face like that??? I was in awe of Jessica and her bullshit! Did you know when Jessica is 40 mark will be 30!?
Jessica made me so sick, I was totally annoyed 🙄 with her all the damn time, smmfh.... like wtf was her problem.. hop off of Barnets rod already, he doesn't want you Jessica 🙄😂😂
I loved hearing you speaking to bae, in your native language, at the end!
I've been waiting patiently for you to upload:)
Girl! No shame in the game. This has happened to me on several occasions. When life gets too busy sometimes you just have to throw it in a bun and hope that someday you'll have time or energy to get to it.
I finally picked up the pre poo. I'm excited to try it out.
That shedding is about two days worth for me :'D
Is that good or bad?
@@myleechai21603 i honestly don't know :')
Gurl, i just love your videos when i see you smile, we love you and take care of yourself. One love.
oh this must’ve felt so good 😭 keep on truckin’, you’re almost at the end!
Hey Mamcita!!.
Where you been
Sending ❤from the STL...
Cant wait till you have the baby😍
love from STL too! :D
STL fam in the building here toooo wassupp
My hair is straight as Morticia Addams. And at the moment I'm shaved. But for some reason I love watching your videos ahah
I came here after watching a video of a lady who due to mental illness wasn't able to touch, detangle or wash her hair in a year, and it took three days to detangle it.
Your hair is absolutely beautiful, you look gorgeous!!
Your hair has gotten soooooo long , it’s so beautiful! This just gave me motivation to finally take my hair out of a bun too 😭
I know I’m a year late but I need this! This and the comments are making me not feel so bad for letting my hair not be a priority! I was in tears until I started watching this.. 💕🌺
I absolutely love your hair! I am so jealous. I've got red hair and it gets matted and nasty after 3 days of no washing. You are so beautiful and blessed! Keep up the rest for you and the baby!!
Hey amber I love your video and I am glad that you are finally back ❣️
I bought the pre-shampoo about a month ago, and it’s lovely. Definitely a staple in my routine now!
That’s me with detangling hair because it tangle right back no worries we won’t judge you and the baby are in a safe place.
When I was 5 I usually refuzed to get my hair brushed. After 4 days it was just as tangled as yours and also full of sand (I usef to play a lot in the sand, I literally grew up in the sand box in front of grandma's house. I even ate there sometimes, my grandma feed me while I was playing lol) and my grandma was struggling to untangle my hair, but the brush kept getting stuk in my hair (like it just fell from her hand) and even bending😂! Then we went out of the house amd grandma took a bucket of water amd she wet my hair. We finally brushed it out after. I learned my lesson after that😂
Hey Amber great to see you again xoxo. Girl my advice is to do long term protective styling e.g. braids or weave cos When. That. Baby. Come. TRUST ME. that's all. Love your channel. Xoxo
Happy you are feeling better. I just saw an add for hair growth with you! I was all excited like we are real friends! (I feel like it. Lolol)
i literally shaved my head yesterday and now youtube is recommending me all of these videos with beautiful hair ugh
hows it growing after 4 months
Thenormalguy101 it’s great!!! My hair grows super fast so I have a pixie cut now and it’s super cute :)
Babe, we’ve all been here, don’t even worry bout it. Maybe consider joining braid gang for your labour and one month post baby 👶 cos once your little one is here it’ll be a time saver and keep your hair protected! ❤️
OMG when she played "Redemption" by Skylar I was like 😲😄 yaaasss that's like that's one of my favorite songs...
Sooo underrated!
Girl we've all been there xD I'm white but i've got a combination of scottish, spanish, and italian hair thats super coarse, thick and curly. When school gets crazy it lives in a bun for wayyyyyyy too long and when I finally detangle it hurts so much :'(
Omg Lauren and Cameron are goals! But Kenny and Kelly were really cute too not gonna lie.
Aww Amber, who am I to judge u? I wear my 4c hair in twists always. My hair routine is to unbraid, detangle, wash, deep condition and have my salonist put it in twists which I wear for 4 weeks. (Some few times 6 weeks 🙈) And even this routine is overwhelming to me now that I'm pregnant. Wish I could go bald and be free.
This is me every month and guess what 💀. I have chunky twists and they’re staying in for another month 😬
I haven’t been wanting to do my hair plus I’m trying to give it a break from all the products but my hair is soooo dry without product. it’s really made me realize I need to start taking better care of it 😬
Girl I miss you. Welcome back, hope you feel better.
You’re so beautiful and glowing! Congrats!!
I used to have shoulder length hair, my hair is thin and pretty curly. I would keep it in a bun for days and I would get these large dread knots 😭. I recently cut my hair super short and I definitely don't miss the knots 😂.
My hair was the same after my pregnant and I ended up doing my second big chop. I just couldn’t deal with those tangles. I was so over it.
