Her struggles with her hair is so relatable it’s not even funny 💀
It's both. It's funny because it is so relatable.
Wait Danielle don’t hate me. But your face when you finished taking your formers out... priceless. I died laughing, so relatable!
🤣🤣😫😫🙄😁
Ikr she was like...what just happened 😂
Girl, I cracked up. Black girl struggles 😂
Priceless expression. I got a good smile😊.
I’m so encouraged by you, we can’t hate our this fine strands, we have to get it all out love.
Sameer her facial expressions
This title is senddding me. Me every Monday when I take out whatever twistout/braid out/bantu-knotout/Jesusout I had on over the weekend.
"Jesusout" 😂😂😭
Don't use God's name in vain
@@sadeadeyemi
Because sometimes our hair just needs a miracle
I slid out my chair...”Jesusout”.
😂 bruh. Whatever happens, HAPPENS! 😩
I feel like Issa Rae needs to scoop up Star Puppy and give her a show. I would love that. So much.
YES!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sherlee Jo or bring her on as a character on Insecure
Get out of my head!!!
YOU AINT NEVER LIED!!!
The face you made when you looked up after taking the curlfomers down 😂😂😂😂. BEEN THERE 😩
This is my struggle with everything. I swear my hair dislikes anything thats not fluffed out or a wash and go. I want variety dammit! 😭
S A M E
If my hair not in a braid out it will be trash
Me too ughh😫😩
"4c hair is versatile," they said.
"You can wear it in a variety of styles," they said.
The only time I’ve ever gotten curl formers to work is to do really small sections and spend two weeks sitting under the dryer.
I effin died when that humidity hit. This is a constant struggle fr
I live in Houston aka THE DAMN AMAZON...I'm so glad that I have enough hair to pull it in a low bin.
I’m still laughing!! 😂😂
This right here is why I'm getting into natural hair clip ins. I refuse to be disrespected like this.
Lolll
Where do you get your clips from?
@@lyrikull12 Outre 4c clip-ins in the purple pack is what I wear now. It's a synth/human blend and blends great with my real hair. For $30 you can't beat it just to try. Plenty of reviews on TH-cam.
😂😂😂😂😂
This right here is why I am locing my hair, no puedo
EXACTLY!
I have immediately liked, for the title Alone😂
Yassssssss!
Saaaameee
It made me laugh before i even clicked it 😂😭😭
Same
Mhm. The title only earned it from me too lol
*An Ode to Low Porosity*
I tried out a new kind of set,
Slept on it to see what I get,
But though 'twas but damp,
When I put in the clamps,
My low-porous hair was still wet.
💀
😂 💀
That. Was. Beautiful
Brilliant
Girl. All you gotta do is not style your hair when it is sopping wet 😂. Honestly I think a lot of people mistakenly think they are low porosity because their hair isn’t drying overnight, not understanding that things simply don’t dry if the water is not allowed to evaporate. In other words, you can’t expect your hair to dry if moisture isn’t allowed to escape (like from your bonnet, for example.) If you are indeed low porosity, just dry your hair more than normal before you start styling it. Remember, nothing is difficult to deal with once you gain experience with it. You don’t need high porosity hair to style it.
💯💯💯
Wow thanks for the tip.. Im gonna try bantu knots on dry hair. I be looking at videos and mine always turns out bad and then i do a wash n go because that’s the only thing that i can do right.🙄
"Nothing is difficult to deal with once you gain experience with it" That's profound!🤔
One thing I’d start with is a different type of mousse. That one you used has honey in it which is a humectant and pulls moisture from the air around you and if you are heavy handed with the product it might be why it took longer for your hair to dry and might be what caused you to loose the hold in the product when you went outside. Living in GA and having low porosity hair and trying to hair any style is whole other added factor in this hair journey. I’d suggest getting a steamer cap and hooded dryer to help set styles before leaving the house since is an added humidity issue.I like The Doux Mousse Def it’s my go to mousse for styles like this.
The humectant is probably what caused the hair to frizz out a bit when she stepped outside. I hope she sees your comment and takes the advice!
Hair struggles are REAL for us all but.....could you be more gorgeous?!? That skin & smile are everything....hope you know that
I could 4c the results of the curlformers on the first try but I was hoping for a miracle☺... but the end result looks great☺
🤣🤣🤣🤣 4c
See what you did there
🤩🤩🤩
Very punny! 😊
I have long 4c hair, I use curl formers to stretch my hair. I just do really small sections. The only issue is the ends
When you got got, I was so sad. Then you came back and I was cheering and so happy that I teared up a little. Then you went outside and I was like WTF and was screaming, crying, and laughing. How??? The relatability
2020 is the year of trying us smh 🙅
Girl say it again 🙄
Gonna get worse especially next year so be prepared lol
@@kaykayssl267 now why did you have to go and say that🥲
*detangles immediately* 😭😂 relatable content for sure, thank you.
A hooded dryer is ESSENTIAL ♥️.
I'm glad that you aren't doing overnight wet styles, because you are right that having your hair wet too long will definitely weaken it. What I do for my low porosity hair is style, and then maybe wait 10 minutes for product to set. And then... I go straight under that hooded dryer lol 😄. Medium heat, and medium air. It will make everything so much easier. And even the cheap $30 or $40 ones from Walmart work great too.
this is a very good tip, thank you for sharing!
I have been thinking about getting a hooded dryer or a diffuser because my low porosity hair just takes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long to air dry after a wash day.
I thought dryers are bad for hair, would it be better to just air dry it? I genuinely don't know
@@HAlia-cb1ns Hooded dryers use indirect heat. Instead of direct heat like a hand-held dryer. So you won't cause damage to your hair by using it regularly.
Air drying is okay, but if it takes several hours for your hair to dry, then it will be better to use a hooded dryer. Since having your hair wet for a very long time regularly will give you hygral fatigue and weaken your hair strands. That's why I prefer to use hooded dryer
Omg, I’ve been leaving my hair to air dry for like 8 years 😩😩😩 and she’s been playing up for the past year. Education is never ending 👊🏾 xxx
I feel these styling videos because I always want to do something extra with my hair. I can’t really say I care if people can see the length, but I just want to feel comfortable wearing it the way it grows out of my head, but also being able to style it in something as easy as a “messy bun”. I rarely style my hair though when it is longer. I have 4a hair, maybe a tad bit shorter than yours but I’ve been trying to figure out if I’d even feel prettier with longer hair, cause right now I’m agitated and feel like shaving it off again. 🤪
All women have hair issues, but being black it’s basically trying to figure out whether you have internalized racism and that’s why you think you need to style your hair, or if you actually legitimately just want a new style cause you like it.
that last sentence!!
Same!! I am 3c/4a awkward length and i’ve just done only wash and goes for the past year and a half. But now my wash and go looks like bozo the clown 🤡 but I sure as hell won’t get a shape right now bc if they mess up I’m back to no hair again! The struggle is real. I bought some hair and have been watching TH-cam videos on how to twist it ............ this will either be amazing or 🤬🤬🤬🤬. Either way I’m up for the journey 😓😬 I want longer hair but I’m tempted to just chop it again and go on with my life and some big earrings.
@@kitbracadabra Yes that last sentence was profound!
The whole last paragraph- just SOOO true😕
Exactly.
I watched that “six, semon, ate months, tsk” (1:31) about 4 times!!! 😂😂😂
My fav part i change my accent like that on accident sometimes😂😂
YOOOOOOO me too! Glad to know it wasn't just me! Her range is crazy! She can go from Disney princess to NuNu from ATL.
Cherice Washington 🤣🤣🤣
Ever since taking my locs out, I've been having to get acquainted with my hair in a way I never had before (perm -> locs -> twa -> locs -> FINALLY NATURAL a year and a half ago) and I can relate so hard to so many struggles you have with your beloved Fluffnugget. My strands are fine and sparse and hate styles too (twistouts make me look like Einstein with bedhead) so I live in twists under a slap or a Wash & Go. Never felt so seen 😂😂💖
Same. I’m mostly morning the loss of length. I had locs that were down my back nearly touching my waist, now with shrinkage my hair barely touches my shoulders. But I’m loving getting acquainted with my hair texture, and I can’t wait to see it grow
I didn't know you can take locs out O o O
@@thehamsterarmy2380 Two weeks, a metal comb, and many, many bottles of conditioner later, it can be done!
Although I've heard it depends on what technique you used to loc up. I just palm rolled, but if you interloc (basically crocheting the roots) it's apparently much more difficult to the point of impossible and then you *have* to cut them off.
@@andreamckenzie8598 Can confirm. Taking out sisterlocks right now and it is...stressful
I did the same thing 2 years ago took my locs out and it tried me. 18 days 8 bottles of conditioner, some tears(lots of tears), conditioner in my eye and 4 rat tail combs because my 4c hair kept breaking them and I did it. Tried being loose natural and it just wasn’t for me So I put them back in February of this year 😂😂
I haven't thought about using Curlformers in forever and you're basically showing why. From all of the tutorials that I've seen it takes smaller sections, HELLA product, and just about 24 hours worth of SERIOUS drying/dryer time to accomplish the desired look. THEN, particularly for 4C hair, it's only gonna last for that day and maybe 1 to 2 days afterwards. Wish it was easier for us.
Wave formers work way better. You get a soft wavy result (even on 4c hair) and it lasts at least a week.
“like the last six, sevem, eight, months” 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂I literally LOVE your uniqueness! Like, I love it!!!!!!!♥️
Omg the joy in your face was soooo refreshing and uplifting. I felt happy with you
I absolutely loved how you did two styles in one video, showing what worked for you and what didn’t! Curl-formers are my “go-to” for stretching my 4-Z hair! That’s actually the style I did for my Profile pic for my TH-cam channel. And I’m hoping to do a video on curl-formers really soon!
Thank you for being awesome. Thanks to you I started to embrace and love my natural hair🤧❤️. Keep on being this amazing ball of energy 🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️
That humidity gave Fluffnugget that Motown soul look.
This weekend I have attempted three count them three styling attempts all ended in some form a fail😆😆😆😆When I saw this pop up I swear I bust out laughing 🤣
Don't give up! Just keep swimming 🐠🐡🐟!!!
Lol girl it was the title for me ! It’s okay, sis ! We all experience trail and error with the our 4C hair chronicles . You should try a rod set , that would be so cute !!
Rod sets actually work and stretch 4C hair... for me, only when done by a professional tho lol I can't do it myself
Angela Mathews yeees , it’s such a cute look ! I tried and it was a fail for me , but I’ve seen so many young ladies rock it !
Rod set on wet hair? What product? Can you give me a couple of tips? I need help.
I just cant manage my hair. I'm really lost which is why I prefer to stretch my hair before styling. I use waveformers to strech, that's what works for me 🤷🏾♀️
Yup, I love wave formers, way better results than curl formers..
OMG I love Green Beauty, she had me convinced that I need to stretch my hair and do the inversion method to help my crown and clay wash and ph balance and and and. She's so informative! I think it was a cute look, and I just adore your joy at the end! Definitely 60s style volume, the first time reminded me of a well dressed 90s sitcom lead.
“The last six... se’m... eight... monfs.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Comb your sectioned hair with a de-tangling brush instead of fingers to break up the clumps. When hair is no longer tightly packed, it will stretch out better in the curlformer and produce a longer smoother curl.
The title and the picture had me hollering 😂🤣😂🤣... you are so relatable
Your editing skills are unmatched. Your honest hair journey make us youtube Aunties proud!
Second attempt was great! Pro tip with curlformers, make sure to comb or brush out hair really well before install and use a get or mouse for hold and frizz. I love my curlformers they are honestly such a great styling tool for natural hair!
I love stretching my hair with curl formers maybe wearing it for a day then directly into mini twists for a month lol. Minitwists on stretched hair saved my liiife.
I started doing that but i stretch my hair with big braids instead. My twists look so much better than doing it on wet hair. 🙌🏽
Your skin is so glowy and those rosy cheeks!!! Ugh Gorg💛💛💫
Giiiirl. I know that humidity struggle. I needed that laugh. I was happy and sad with you.
This TH-cam auntie understands...glad you didn’t sleep in them! Loving the content!!! You’re hilarious!!! Omg I had a similar fail recently with a flexi rod set! Omg I feel you! Haha I think coloring raises your porosity but I wouldn’t i just wouldn’t, lol. Braid out is cute doe!
I think we can all relate to when the music turned from hopeful to OH GOD THIS IS NOT WORKING....and I got to go to work tomorrow 😱😱😆😆😆😰😰
"I got to go to work tomorrow" took it from thriller to horror movie!
I laughed so hard at the title. I'm so done with you miss! You're so funny! I feel you though; I want to put heat on my hair so bad, but I know it's not good for my hair. I haven't had my hair heat styled for almost two years. Aside from the indirect heat or the occasional blow dryer . . . that's it.
There are way to straighten your hair without any heat.
Look it up
9:13 the crazey face you make when you unravel that 1st piece of hair & it's PERFECT!!!
Danielle you are absolutely stunning. Like literally gorgeous. Your skin is banging. Melanin popping xx
I’m glad you showed the real results 4c hair is such a struggle 😢
I truly enjoyed and related to this video. I've seen many 4c hair types, but it's rare to actually see your hair actually filmed. Omg this is my EXACT hair TYPE and texture!!!
Danielle I have 4C hair too and I watch Green Beauty also. I keep my hair stretched using my blow dryer. Now before you freak out I take many precautions to avoid any heat damage and blow out my hair safely. 1) I only blow dry my hair AFTER deep conditioning it, 2) I only use the cool/cold temperature, 3) I use a heat protectant even though I’m using cold temperatures and 4) I only use a ceramic tourmaline hair dryer on my hair as recommended by Green Beauty. And the result? Stretched out hair that I’m able to maintain in a protective style for two weeks.
So on wash day I do my normal routine including deep conditioning my hair well ( I use Shea moisture Manuka honey). Once I rinse out the deep conditioner I then add the melanin hair care multi-purpose leave in conditioner (I see you use it too. It’s amazing). Then I rub in some of the CHI silk fusion serum as a heat protectant and then working in small sections and using slight tension I blow dry my hair straight on the coolest (no heat) setting using the best blow dryer in the world (in my opinion) the RED Kiss Tourmaline Ceramic 1875 Pro. You can get it off of amazon. My hair comes out pretty straight, extremely soft to the touch and I’m able to keep it stretched in a protective style for two weeks until my next wash day. Hope this helps.
P.S. I live in Georgia too so I understand the struggle with the humidity. I feel like the CHi serum helps with this alot. 🤗
The look you gave when you took the formers out.... GIRL I NEARLY PASSED OUT 🤣🤣🤣 your face was my same reaction
your channel is so amusing and refreshing.
I love the videos when you get real with us too.
also, you're gorgeous 🥰 your smile is impeccable!!! keep moving forward hun. you got this.
I was in tears when you took those curl formers out lol 😂
congrats on making it to 200k Starpuupy we are so proud to be apart of the early years of this channel!
I love your energy, personality, weirdness as you call it, never change. Fluff nugget is thick shiny and beautiful let her be we love her.
My hair is the exact same type as yours, and there’s no way for it to hold shape perfectly in Bantu knots/ curl formers if there’s no heavy butter to weigh it down. You don’t need anything beside raw whipped shea butter (apply it HEAVILY, not all at once but a lot per individual Bantu knot or curl). works like a charm!
I love your beginning and your facial expressions about your hair 😂. Too real!
This video was an emotional roller coaster and yet in the end brought me so much joy 😂. Your excitement is infectious
The pure shock reaction you had on the first try was hilarious/ I love watching you !!!
You’re so pretty it’s ridiculous 💜 The way you started this video is everything! 💕💕
I'm killing myself laughing. I love your channel. Because I started out the same way. It gets greater honey. Trust. Trial and error it has to happen. You'll be ok so will your hair!! Keep up the gr8 work and fun journey were in this with you.
Your hair looks so healthy!! It's definitely thickening up! *I SEE YOU FLUFF NUGGETTTTTTT*
I love this video, I realized the exact same thing you realized , I only need shampoo, conditioner and blow dried hair. I watch some of these hair videos and I swear some of these chick are leaving steps out. My hair never have the results they have. I just wear a fro and keep it moving. Your hair looks great with the braid out.
Lol when you came back in after going outside, relatable..
When you took the curlformers out the second time.... You had me screaming as well!😂😂
It was the music change for meeee 🤣🤣🤣 it went so sad omg
Your braid out from the stretched hair is going to be amazing!
I want a sound bite of the maniacal laugh. It's like the perfect stock villain laugh
Me: does a style that’s not a tight, gelled bun or blow dryed twists
My hair: no❤️
Its the heart for me 😭😭😭
I gave up on trying to wash and style my hair same day many a frustrating months ago. I gotta wash, stretch over night, then style next day. It's a labor of love
Danielllllle!!! You are SOOOOOOO funny!!! Skin glowing and beautiful!!! I hope you are discovered and have a great acting career cuz you’re amazing!!!
I have not related to someone so much, nor have I laughed this hard in a minute. THANK YOU! You have a new subscriber.
Your personality alone brought and kept me watching 😃 Great energy ✌🏼
Girl your hair struggles remind me of my own. I love how relatable your channel is because half these you tubers just sit down and do a style and bam it comes out slayed to the gods. I do the same thing, and I look like a damn troll doll smh
Hello there, i really appreciate all the hard work you are doing with posting these videos as I have the same exact hair as you. You are refreshingly entertaining :)
What I've learned throughout my journey is balance. If my hair is feeling too dry i give it moisture, if my hair keep breaking off and waaay too much its time for a trim (just an inch off the ends). If my styles are falling flat I find products that promote strengthen, such as mousse (softer hold without weighting my hair down) PLUS its not a gel that might turn into flakes. Like the seasons things change, and with our hair we have to switch it up every once and awhile.
Anyways keep up the good work!!! I like being able to find people that are in the same boat as me!!
I havent seen your vids in a couple months. Your hair is so much more dense than what it used to be! Im so happy for you 👏🏽
That spooky transition 😭 this is why I gave up Bantu knots, curl formers, and SOFT ROLLERS
This was everything!!! I'm so happy the bad thing turned out to be a good thing!! Can't wait to find out what the "bad thing" is. Only thing I can think of is bentonite clay. I love it but I know not everyone does
Girl, when I read the title I almost choked on my coffee. Too funny. I too was beat up by the Curlformer experience. I ❤ you. You made my day.
This is my first experience with you ever, I literally haven't gotten 3 minutes in and you're great. So fun and just yourself! You've got a sub, I love this!
Lmbo!!! I’ve tried it once and my face was pretty much the same. You are so relatable, I burst out laughing!! 🤣🤣
I love you for sharing that honest moment 😂❤️🙏🏾and the braid out looks beautiful🥰😍🥰
Thumbs up just from the title, girl you have such an admirable patience
I have missed your videos. So glad the algorithm got it right, today.❤
Goodness ur happy. It's infectious, I just wanna be numb all day but here u r subconsciously spreading joy😁
Super puppy you are so cute! I could see being friends with a person like you!
i needed you growing uppppp, like i love your whole personalityyy
I use curl and wave formers often (I really recommend trying wave formers), and I find that they work the best when the hair is damp at most. *Never wet!* Also, I'd recommend using smaller sections. Maybe about 50% smaller.
If you use some gel or wax with your other products, it will hold a lot better.
Additionally, whenever you take them out and want to style them, *never* use a brush if you have if you have 3a-4c curls or coils, because it will get frizzy and puffy. Use your fingers and some hair oil to detangle and smooth it out for the best effect.
Carefully putting your curled hair into low pigtails or a low pony, will also flatten it out a little if needed.
The most important thing is to make sure it's completely dry.
Lol you in the beginning of the video is me every time I get my hair professionally straightened, get heat damage, big chop and regrow my hair, and then try to convince myself that I should get my hair straightened again because my hair is healthy again.
It's honestly so crazy I remember when starpuppy vs. styling was a regular thing, when you were at like 60k, now you're almost at 200k. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
When it worked I was so happy for you! A victory for fluff nugget is a victory for us all 😃😃😃😃
I'm 3c. Spent $65 on those things. Curls would last half a day. Ended up giving them to goodwill. Its a great way to stretch the hair, but not style if you have high porosity
I have low porosity hair and i'm probably gonna upset somebody - but I use HEAT before I take out any set style. I use indirect heat with a dome dryer, finish with a cool shot to close my cuticles, and I don't have issues.
From a person who continues to fail at her curlformer sets...I am genuinely happy for you
Another comment- I use two products as of now. I use warm water (initially), with fresh aloe vera and Jamaican black castor oil. I put that all over my hair, like almost saturate, then "squish" my strands with the mix instead of running it down the strands. After, I use Shea butter to seal it when I style it in twists.
And her smile when it worked!!! 😍♥️💜💜♥️
Beautiful and very talented young lady. I would love to see her as a lead in a production. God bless your endeavors.
I got a perm rod set and it came out cute, but it would've been better if I had my better pick. It lasted two days ( doing the upside pineapple helped), but the back was the problem because when I sleep/lay down, then the back was the first to fallout. I still enjoyed it and now I'm rocking twists.
Your reaction was mine when I did them for the first time. Idk why, but it makes my hair so shiny. The only thing that I don’t like is how it reverts so I usually do a braid out or twist out on the stretched hair and it’s p nice
Your editing is EVERYTHING!❤
After your washday put your hair in twists or braids and let them dry then style on that. You could even stretch them in a ponytail once they’re about 70% dry to get more length. If while you’re conditioning or deep conditioning detangle and pit you’re hair in neat but chunky twists and leave them in while you’re rinsing that’ll make the process way easier 😺 hope this helps ✌🏾
I dont usually watch hair tutorials, but I had to comment to say... Ilove your title and photos....too adorably hilarious🤗
Missed these starpuppy vs styling videos!!!
I'm early and I'm ready for the weirdness. Hi Danielle 😊
Most things are just not for our hair (4c) I've accepted this.
