It annoys me seriously, that people still doubt that when they see black women with beautiful long, thick and healthy hair. Honestly, I just don't get it. Some people just like to project their own inabilities rather than taking time to learn how to obtain the same hair. Sis your hair is so beautiful. 😍😍You are my biggest inspiration. ❤❤
Considering something like...0.00001% of people with type 4 hair have hip length hair and maybe 40% of natural type 4 wear weave/extensions/wigs, and maybe 99.9999% of the population have never seen type 4 hip length hair before, I'd be more concerned if the everyone immediately concluded the hair is real without any questions at all ☺️
Haha thank you! To be honest I’m always asking my mom “what in the hell did u eat when u was pregnant with me?” Lol thanks for your support I appreciate you❤️ ur hair game is on point!!!
As a 4c chick I have officially stopped using over the counter store bought hair products. The longer my hair got, the worse it became because of the chemicals in the mass produced store products. I use nothing but ayurvedic remedies on my hair, all of what she teaches ie soap nuts and fenugreek for my shampoo, hibiscus and olive oil for deep conditioning, flax seeds for length retention, neem oil and aloe vera juice for moisture to name a few. My scalp and hair has been thriving. No dandruff, no over production of sebum, no breakage. i truly believe the mass prodcued products do more harm to our natural hair. Go back to your roots...
Do u have low porosity hair by any chance? I have also used Ayurveda and noticed it making a difference in my hair but moisture is still something I’ve struggled with
Get it Girl !!! 🙌🏾 You are on point! 🎯 💯 No more store bought for me either. I have enough oils, butters, essential oils, Ayurvedic herbs, Aloe Vera Gel and Juice, Glycerin, flaxseeds, and other goodies to make my own hair and skin products with no chemicals and harsh preservatives. I'm good. I'm on a 2-year "No Store Bought Products" Challenge. It's all DIY. I just bought a lot of silicone baking cups to freeze my products in 1-wash sizes so that I can make big batches at a time. But honestly, my hair thrives on natural ingredients from DIY formulas vs store bought products, even though they're also made with natural ingredients. My hair and body absolutely hates shea butter and 90% of products have shea butter in them. So, I'm using way better butters and sticking with what works for me. 😘
"I have officially stopped using over the counter store bought hair products. ...the worse it became because of the chemicals in the mass produced store products" This right here is why I have never been into the TGIN, (new) Cantu, Miss Jessie, etc products because, not only the prices, but also the fact of all the chemicals in it. When I went natural almost 20 years ago we all were taught to stick to NATURAL products and that the products that were out back then(this was before Miss Jessie, etc) had too many other chemicals in it which were causing problems for the scalp and hair. And that knowledge came from people stopping the use of perms due to the chemicals in there causing our heads problems. Now when it comes to straightening my hair is when I will use store brought products but generally I don't. I have heard some products like Grapeseed oil and even Crisco are good heat protectants because of being able to handle high heat(idk if that is really true but I tried it anyway). There's a new product of Castor oil and water. Pfft. Just take your black castor oil and mix it with some good water that you can buy in the store if you have bad tap water. A lot of these things you make yourself which is what we were all doing back then.
@@coriebarnes8680 Yep. And I believe a lot of these trendy and expensive store products are what is also causing so many to have these hair problems. Like "heat damage" so quickly and edge loss, etc. I don't remember seeing so many of these issues so frequently as now. I don't use nor style my hair the way that is popular now so i have thankfully missed out on the madness. How do you flat iron your hair once and its heat damage everywhere? Unless you flat ironed your hair slowly and at the maximum degrees of 500 then I don't know what else is causing that.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 💯 I started making my own products for my locs. Black hair care products are one of the most toxic products and we put it directly on our crown.
I don't blame you for not wearing your hair out. Too many jealous weirdos are obsessed with black women's hair already. I would have to carry a tazer at all times if my hair was as long as yours
To be honest, after all these “oil vs no oil” controversies I say that people should just do what they feel works for them. At the end of the day, I believe that length retention is all in HOW you care for your hair. You have low manipulation, healthy hair practices, which is why your hair is so long and beautiful!😍
The "No oil" movement is on the rise and the amount of info out there can get overwhelming. I agree with your comment, I'll just keep on doing what I've always done and what works for me (oiling my scalp, my hair and my life) and keep it moving.
@@thehamsterarmy2380 Yeah true a lot of naturals use water and grease now, but the influencers won't do that in the public eye because they have products to promote.
For the non-believers, your routine has helped me grow my hair from shoulder to bra strap length in a year so obviously something is working lol. You are my hair-spiration!
@@mufidahtahir7960 I moisturize with water, oil mixture and Shea butter mixture, put my hair into twists and leave it alone for a month. Come wash day, I keep the twists in, use bar shampoo and deep conditioner, detangle and redo all the twists. Repeat.
@@MelissaBaba this is my EXACT routine too thanks to Indigenous Strandz sis! 😁😁 My hair is now waist length going to tailbone! (still can't beleieve it) 1 tip I recently just did for myself sis, if the wash day gets too tiring as your hair gets bigger and longer, you can actually stretch the big take down to 2 months! I've done that since January and I've got even more retention! I didn't think I could stretch it to 2 months but it's absolutely amazing and I don't have to redo everything so often 😘
I'm sixty years old and I've been wearing my hair natural for 12 years and people are so amazed of the thickness of my hair is and really don't believe it's mine
Every time someone tells me they wish they had my hair length. I tell them they can with time and patience. If you treat your hair like its a part of your body and not just something that grows out of it, you will start to be more attentive and patient with your hair. My goal length is to the bottom of my butt I'm alittle over half way there.
Congrats on your length and before no time you will reach your goal. People use to tell me when I was younger, " if I had your hair I would do this and that..." well, you dont have my hair and by the looks of how they were wearing their hair they were lying. My hair (dry and stretched to measure) comes down to my rib cage. I'm like you, I want my hair kissing my butt.
@@curli-lettey4319 We will reach are goals in no time! I use the same routine as @IndigenousStrandz but I keep my hair in large braids instead of twist and use different oils( jojoba, almond and tea tree). Her routine is a miracle growth. I went from bra strap to waist length in a year with regular trims.
@@glamglam8347 What amazes me is, why does only black women with extremely long hair, have to prove that it is real? people should be past this kind of thing by now. SMH....
@@honeybdream hey so i basically do what she does, and i would say the biggest thing with growing natural hair is intention: it’s not just about what styles or oils you use (although those are super important too, more on that later tho) but about how you treat your hair. One quote that really resonated with me from indigenous strandz was that she treats her strands of her hair like her ancestors - super gentle. So i would say the key is always treating your hair with respect. It really helps to reduce breakage because you’re more gentle with it. But other then that, i keep my hair in twists 99% of the time (and head wraps in the winter) and i basically cut out all hair products. I only use castor oil, flax, and aloe. I can give you some of my recipes if you would like (i made the most amazing scalp oil! And how you treat your body is also important (the food you eat and exercise/yoga). anyways end of rant lol i’m just super passionate about hair!
@@Genesis00219 ofc i got you! so my scalp oil is one that i infuse for about three months+ in a mason jar. So the ingredients are: peppermint leaves, fenugreek powder, clove, aloe powder, morninga powder, rose, hibiscus, lavender, eucalyptus, fennel powder, camomile flowers, burdock root, horsetail herb, slippery elm powder, stinging nettle, and essential oils of your choice (i recommend tea tree and peppermint for a nice scalp tingle) also don’t break the bank buying all this stuff, just use what you have and soon enough you’ll have everything you need. Also, i suggest going to the indian foods store bc they have a lot of herbs for cheap!
@@IndigenousStrandz11 , Not sure, but, it definitely wasn’t that long ago since I watched one of your videos. I never imagined your hair coming up that long! Yes! It’s beyond beautiful. By any chance do you use coconut oil also? I wasn’t aware that you used olive oil. My grandma used it and swears by it; how it grows out our hair. Your hair is on and popping!
I love oiling my hair and I can’t understand this new wave saying oiling is bad. You have to remember to always do what works for you. Thanks for sharing!
The issue is that people put oil on top of dry, unmoisturized hair. If you use a water based product (water, rose water, aloe vera juice), then the oil you put on top will seal in the moisture. That’s the key to growth and healthier hair. You have to see which oil works best for you. My hair hates coconut and castor oil. It loves grape seed oil.
Yes. That is very true in that you have to find the oil that works for you. I will also say, even tho this is an added strain but, you also want to find the right version for you. I have coconut oil now. I have found a version that works very well for me. However I have used other versions and it burned me. Literally. My skin stinged and turned black at the spot. When I got back to using the kind for me I never had that problem. So sometimes you actually can still use the product but its depends on the "version" that you use. Version meaning brand? Maybe if that works for you, but for me it was a matter of process. Unrefined vs Refined. That's why so many tell folks to use EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil. Not just Virgin or plain olive oil. Tho ,maybe the plain version works for the person or just the virgin does but the person has to go thru trial and error to find out.
I believe it also comes from too much weave and wig talk from women in the media. And when you see us in the media, most of the time, there is always the wearing of fake hair.
Thank you all. I am appreciating this community. I found an Indian grocer who carries all the oils, powders and seeds that you guys are using so I've made some notes...going shopping. I will have to get used to not using a comb because I do notice that I lose a lot of hair when I use it to detangle. Thanks sisters.
Just a quick note of appreciation. Thank you for praving the way for minimalist black hair care & proving that black hair doesn’t require fancy bells and whistles to grow. I’ve been using your technique for a little over a year now, including the wrapping, without regrets. My hair will not miss the commercial products. Ayurvedic is the way. My hair is growing like a weed. Thank you again.❤️ God bless you🌻
Where the heck have you been sis? Hope all is well with the move and decorating ☺. Sounding stronger and more confident as your channel grows. Extremely proud of you. Keep going forward towards being the best you possible with no apologies. Always here to cheer you on. Peace and blessings love.
Your hair is beautiful and you know what, you don't have to prove anything to anyone you can tell that it's your hair! I love using oils as well they do help to nourish the scalp and the hair. Thank you ever so kindly enjoy the rest of the week God-bless you🙏🏽🌺
Can you do a video on how you pushed pass the medium to long length? I hope that makes sense. Thanks for this video it giver me so much hope in retaining length I love seeing long natural hair
Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!! I tried that no oil thing for about 5 months it was the saddest time in my natural hair journey. As soon as I went back to oils and shea butter I saw less shedding within a week and my hair has never been longer. My favorite oil is avocado, I was always afraid of the thickness of castor oil but you’ve convinced me to give it a try 😌
I was invited to preach at a church right before the PANDEMIC. My hair is tailbone length. After the service I walked up on a group of "Good Church Sisters " talking about chile you know that ain't all her hair. Focus on praising instead of my hair please. They were looking crazy when they looked up and I was standing there lol. I didn't say a word just smiled. Now when I preach I mainly wear my hair in a bun lol so folks can focus on the Word. My hair can't save nobody...chile 😊
Sis! Thank you for sharing everything you do. My 4b/c hair has become so much softer than it already was. I didn’t think it could get any softer. The key, like you’ve stated so many times, is consistency and patience. Your hair, your videos and you have inspired me to take care of my hair again. I became discouraged after reaching the shoulder length plateau everyone speaks of and kind of gave up. But now I am back on track! And please continue to ignore any negative comments as you so gracefully do already. I cannot fathom why anyone would have anything bad to say about your hair, but everyone is different! You are beautiful and you portray a beautiful spirit as well! Please keep sharing and uploading!
I love your jeans! Hard for me to find good quality jeans that aren’t jeggings and don’t provide a gap in the back. I also made the hair butter last night and used it a little while ago on my son’s hair... LOVE IT!! 🤍🥳✨Thank you for sharing and inspiring so many of us to take better care of our hair, mind, and body, PERIODT! Self care is the best self-esteem booster!
Omg girl hair goals❤. Your hair is gorgeous 🤩 I currently have locs and I have learned that if you just oil your hair and leave it alone it grows like crazy. My hair is mid back since getting my locs done. I started shoulder length one year ago. I'm proud of my crown honey ! ❤❤❤
All my life My mother’s best Fresno has the most beautiful head of hair she has to be like 70 when I chopped my hair off after making waist length she said grow it and keep it healthy with olive and castor oil this was before the natural hair movement I’m now mid back blown out I will Never stop use if natural oils people use to say Indian woman had beautiful hair they oil the hair as well 🤷🏽♀️ The only time I wear my hair super straight is when I wear a wig 🤣 I do not straighten my hair
that is so beautiful that you wrap your hair up no one even knows you have hair like that except for on your video that is so so beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful
Goalssss ! I've noticed a difference in my hair after eating way more fruits and veggies, exercising, less manipulation/trimming my hair, & Grease ! I'm trying to get to waist length
So happy to be apart of the tribe! Missing my loose natural and have locs down to the middle of my back..been thinking about combing them out and soo soo happy I found your channel so I can maintain my healthy low maintenance hair. Thank you for ALL of your videos and info. Until next time...
@Tiara Cunningham-I had locs for 17 years and they were down to my butt. I combed them out two years ago. I'm loving my loose natural! I just found this channel tonight and I am excited about what I will learn and will add to my regimen.
@@diannebaker79 I'm going on 7 years now and have cut my locs twice because I just loved them so short and they were easy to manage. 14 years?! Wow! I would love to know your regimen after you combed your locs out. I'm excited to comb them out but having anxiety at the same time because I'm just whole with my locs lol.
Love you soo much.. your energy is soo beautiful! Thank you for all your help! I cut all my hair off just over 2years ago and have been following your routine my hair is currently mid-back length ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have been subscribed for awhile but I am probably not one of your original "back in the day" subscribers and even I know it's your darn hair!!! Also, I know that flax seed gel has been key to your growth! Edit: Still haven't gotten around to the flax gel but your length is definitely motivation for me. I've been keeping my hair in two braids during the week consistently and it had really helped.
Yes oil does moisturize your hair. Especially with scalp massage. Of course trying to find the right oil your hair likes is part of the journey. 😊❤ I do love castor oil for the ends of my hair. It has kept them from splitting and getting too dry.
My hair is slightly past waist length and I want to grow it to knee length. I will try out your routine with a little tweak. I will have to get used to twists. Yes! I know if I start with the head wraps I will get questions and looks. But I am ready. Oh yeah.
Gorgeous hair and love how you’ve always been transparent with your maintenance routines. TH-cam is full of doubters bc a lot have lied previously, but you ain’t one! Keep doing you 🔥🙌🏾
Your hair is beautiful ! My hair looked like this. Gorgeous! Keep putting that olive oil and castor oil in your beautiful mane . Castor oil and olive oil is gold.
Your hair is looking beautiful. I can appreciate that you said to moisturize/lubricate whatever that means to you and your hair. We do have to choose how we are going to take care of our own individual hair.
If anybody cannot tell and my hair is nowhere near Long and healthy like yours no matter how hard people may try some people still don't get as healthy and beautiful here like yours even if it's short but it's very healthy....... But if nobody cannot tell that is your real hair you could just tell real hair is different even though they make weeds nowadays look like real hair but anybody in the right mind in spirit could tell it's your real hair people who are just saying that it doesn't make sense but the point is it's beautiful you took out the time and the effort and just took care of it and did what you had to do and the results have showed that is healthy it's like very long and just gorgeous your hair is just healthy and gorgeous beautiful and that's good that you keep it in the twisties because it makes it easy and more manageable to deal with when you're doing with hair that that long especially for our type of hair it's different may God continue to be guide you and be pleased with you and people don't understand when they're looking at real hair they know is your real hair they know that
As usual…love your tutorials and your hair. I love all the ways your hair looks stretched or not they all look great. Thank you for sharing. Peace and love💜.

I used to think castor oil was too thick too but baby, let me tell you, it has been clutch in my Ayurvedic regimen 💪🏽
Mine too. I love it!! It works for me
I'm amazed people are ignorant to Black people having extremely long hair - I wonder who told them we can't grow our hair to vasts lengths?!! kmt
Commot for there?
Yes, It is possible but still a rare sight because many of us are still trying to figure out how to grow extreme long hair
I believe it also comes from too much weave and wig talk from women in the media. And when you see us in the media, most of the time, there is always the wearing of fake hair.
@@solarlola5953 There is no reason to doubt others with long hair.
You are gorgeous and may the Lord bless you. God created us with such magnifying beauty which is the covering of our head.
Thank you all. I am appreciating this community. I found an Indian grocer who carries all the oils, powders and seeds that you guys are using so I've made some notes...going shopping. I will have to get used to not using a comb because I do notice that I lose a lot of hair when I use it to detangle. Thanks sisters.
Just a quick note of appreciation. Thank you for praving the way for minimalist black hair care & proving that black hair doesn’t require fancy bells and whistles to grow. I’ve been using your technique for a little over a year now, including the wrapping, without regrets. My hair will not miss the commercial products. Ayurvedic is the way. My hair is growing like a weed. Thank you again.❤️ God bless you🌻
Where the heck have you been sis? Hope all is well with the move and decorating ☺. Sounding stronger and more confident as your channel grows. Extremely proud of you. Keep going forward towards being the best you possible with no apologies. Always here to cheer you on. Peace and blessings love.
BEAUTIFUL/GORGEOUS HAIR❤❤
thank you❤️

You're welcome
Olive oil and aloe vera juice is what I use. I use avocado oil when I can get to Sam's and buy the huge bottle.
Not the show your scalp! People are crazy we know that beautiful hair is yours! Glad your back making video's.
Your hair is beautiful and you know what, you don't have to prove anything to anyone you can tell that it's your hair!
I love using oils as well they do help to nourish the scalp and the hair. Thank you ever so kindly enjoy the rest of the week God-bless you🙏🏽🌺
That was very sweet thank you!
Can you do a video on how you pushed pass the medium to long length? I hope that makes sense. Thanks for this video it giver me so much hope in retaining length I love seeing long natural hair
My hair is to my butt. What helped me was keeping it twisted, away from rubbing against my clothes, finger detangling and well moisturized.
Yes, olive, avocado oils and Shea butter are great conditioner replacement. Your hair is gorgeous! Headwrap queens!
Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!! I tried that no oil thing for about 5 months it was the saddest time in my natural hair journey. As soon as I went back to oils and shea butter I saw less shedding within a week and my hair has never been longer. My favorite oil is avocado, I was always afraid of the thickness of castor oil but you’ve convinced me to give it a try 😌
I was invited to preach at a church right before the PANDEMIC. My hair is tailbone length. After the service I walked up on a group of "Good Church Sisters " talking about chile you know that ain't all her hair. Focus on praising instead of my hair please. They were looking crazy when they looked up and I was standing there lol. I didn't say a word just smiled. Now when I preach I mainly wear my hair in a bun lol so folks can focus on the Word. My hair can't save nobody...chile 😊
😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m sayin ! People be soo worried about other people’s scalp! U did right though girl!
@@IndigenousStrandz11 🤗💚
😂😂😂😂 Busted
Your hair doesn't look fake at all. Very beautiful, Queen. I love it.
Girl your hair is gorgeous. Every time I get discouraged i watch your videos as a reminder that I need to stop it with the excuses.
Sis! Thank you for sharing everything you do. My 4b/c hair has become so much softer than it already was. I didn’t think it could get any softer. The key, like you’ve stated so many times, is consistency and patience. Your hair, your videos and you have inspired me to take care of my hair again. I became discouraged after reaching the shoulder length plateau everyone speaks of and kind of gave up. But now I am back on track!
And please continue to ignore any negative comments as you so gracefully do already. I cannot fathom why anyone would have anything bad to say about your hair, but everyone is different!
You are beautiful and you portray a beautiful spirit as well! Please keep sharing and uploading!
I love your jeans! Hard for me to find good quality jeans that aren’t jeggings and don’t provide a gap in the back. I also made the hair butter last night and used it a little while ago on my son’s hair... LOVE IT!! 🤍🥳✨Thank you for sharing and inspiring so many of us to take better care of our hair, mind, and body, PERIODT! Self care is the best self-esteem booster!
Omg girl hair goals❤. Your hair is gorgeous 🤩 I currently have locs and I have learned that if you just oil your hair and leave it alone it grows like crazy. My hair is mid back since getting my locs done. I started shoulder length one year ago. I'm proud of my crown honey ! ❤❤❤
My hair has flourished because of your tutorials, thank you so much for your simple, each hair videos🙏🏾
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS....SO PROUD TO MEET YOU. New subscriber
All my life My mother’s best Fresno has the most beautiful head of hair she has to be like 70 when I chopped my hair off after making waist length she said grow it and keep it healthy with olive and castor oil this was before the natural hair movement I’m now mid back blown out I will Never stop use if natural oils people use to say Indian woman had beautiful hair they oil the hair as well 🤷🏽♀️ The only time I wear my hair super straight is when I wear a wig 🤣 I do not straighten my hair
When in doubt oil it out! I love that! Gorgeous hair 😍
Hey girl!! I just want to say that your hair is beautiful and so are you!🤍
A Beautiful lions mane I think I’m going to do the twist so I’m not bothering my hair I just wear 2 braids but that’s boring lol
that is so beautiful that you wrap your hair up no one even knows you have hair like that except for on your video that is so so beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful
You’re soo naturally beautiful ☺️
Goalssss !
I've noticed a difference in my hair after eating way more fruits and veggies, exercising, less manipulation/trimming my hair, & Grease !
I'm trying to get to waist length
So happy to be apart of the tribe! Missing my loose natural and have locs down to the middle of my back..been thinking about combing them out and soo soo happy I found your channel so I can maintain my healthy low maintenance hair. Thank you for ALL of your videos and info. Until next time...
@Tiara Cunningham-I had locs for 17 years and they were down to my butt. I combed them out two years ago. I'm loving my loose natural! I just found this channel tonight and I am excited about what I will learn and will add to my regimen.
@@diannebaker79 I'm going on 7 years now and have cut my locs twice because I just loved them so short and they were easy to manage. 14 years?! Wow! I would love to know your regimen after you combed your locs out. I'm excited to comb them out but having anxiety at the same time because I'm just whole with my locs lol.
Thanks for the video. Sometimes it's hard to determine what your own hair really likes or thrives on. You've figured yours out and it shows. Awesome!
Love you soo much.. your energy is soo beautiful! Thank you for all your help! I cut all my hair off just over 2years ago and have been following your routine my hair is currently mid-back length ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, her hair is so beautiful
This is so smart. Oli and wrap. I've been doing this, but I neglected my ends thank you for the tips.
I have been subscribed for awhile but I am probably not one of your original "back in the day" subscribers and even I know it's your darn hair!!! Also, I know that flax seed gel has been key to your growth!
Edit: Still haven't gotten around to the flax gel but your length is definitely motivation for me. I've been keeping my hair in two braids during the week consistently and it had really helped.
#goals. I believe watching your hair help makes mine grow😋.💖
Yes oil does moisturize your hair. Especially with scalp massage. Of course trying to find the right oil your hair likes is part of the journey. 😊❤ I do love castor oil for the ends of my hair. It has kept them from splitting and getting too dry.
I love your hair Mine is in the middle of my back I'm so happy 2 years of growing my hair it's 17 inches right now this is hair goals 😍😘
Yessss. Sisters. Here for the vid and to encourage everyone. Stay beautiful.
your hair is like one in a million.
Love the look gorgeous & YES that’s ALL her hair!!!!!
My hair is slightly past waist length and I want to grow it to knee length. I will try out your routine with a little tweak. I will have to get used to twists. Yes!
I know if I start with the head wraps I will get questions and looks. But I am ready. Oh yeah.
Gorgeous hair and love how you’ve always been transparent with your maintenance routines. TH-cam is full of doubters bc a lot have lied previously, but you ain’t one! Keep doing you 🔥🙌🏾
That hair is magnificently glorious!!!
Not the shoe your scalp! People are crazy we know that beautiful hair is yours! Glad your back making video's.
You and your channel is so Inspirational💕
My hair is waist length now and I’m definitely gonna get to your length. So excited 😆😆
Your hair is so beautiful I can't wait for mines to get that length
Her hair is beautiful!! We can grow long beautiful hair when we take good care of it and make sure it does not get dry.
yes. you don't have anything to prove to anyone. i have seen your journey and love your tips. thank you for sharing.
Your hair is so beautiful 💗 Oiling my scalp and hair more has 100% helped the health and length of my hair!
Love this video! Can you do another in depth video on your diet pls?
Your hair is beautiful ! My hair looked like this. Gorgeous! Keep putting that olive oil and castor oil in your beautiful mane . Castor oil and olive oil is gold.
I love love love you I need to start from the beginning I want my hair to be it’s best
I’m going to see about getting some Jamaican black castor oil. Never thought about putting oil on the nape of my neck. Thank you so much for sharing!
Yess Danielle… Mermaid goals!!!
Your hair is looking beautiful. I can appreciate that you said to moisturize/lubricate whatever that means to you and your hair. We do have to choose how we are going to take care of our own individual hair.
If anybody cannot tell and my hair is nowhere near Long and healthy like yours no matter how hard people may try some people still don't get as healthy and beautiful here like yours even if it's short but it's very healthy....... But if nobody cannot tell that is your real hair you could just tell real hair is different even though they make weeds nowadays look like real hair but anybody in the right mind in spirit could tell it's your real hair people who are just saying that it doesn't make sense but the point is it's beautiful you took out the time and the effort and just took care of it and did what you had to do and the results have showed that is healthy it's like very long and just gorgeous your hair is just healthy and gorgeous beautiful and that's good that you keep it in the twisties because it makes it easy and more manageable to deal with when you're doing with hair that that long especially for our type of hair it's different may God continue to be guide you and be pleased with you and people don't understand when they're looking at real hair they know is your real hair they know that
Love, inspiration and all the positively good energy comes from within you through your videos. Have a most Blessed 🙏 day.
