@@miniminott48 twa. I neglected my hair for a while and went back to a relaxer. (I know smh...) I hated it though and went natural again in April with another big chop so I'm literally starting over.
I made the same realization about my bonnet after my edges starting thinning. Now I sleep with a satin scarf and a satin pillowcase, and I only use bonnets that are lined with satin all around the cap AND the band.
Definitely using a water based moisturizing spray, rose water, aloe juice, or water lol then sealing with and oil on your scalp, edges, and nape is the goat! I do this every 2-3 days to keep the scalp lubricated, and it’s definitely changed so many things! Our scalp needs way more moisture than we realize.
Preach! I only noticed that I was destroying my edges when they were almost gone 😩 I was laying down my edges a lot, wearing tight hairstyles too often and my bonnet was way too tight 😭 now they are coming back but a sis is struggling.
I really like this video (ok, no surprise). 🥰 I'm recently focusing on nighttime routines, especially for 1. Twist Outs, and 2. Wash and Go's (haven't tried yet but getting ready. 😬 Just got remainder of relaxer cut from my hair last weekend, so....!) Perhaps you can do a few updated nighttime routine videos for us? 🤞🏾🤓😁
Thanks for the video. My edges were sore and thin despite the fact I don't wear weaves, braids or wigs. It was the bonnet, back to a scarf, thanks for the help
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Nooo, you figured it out. I watched the video and listened. Since I've been wearing my scarf the majority of the soreness around my edges has went away. My bonnet was the one thing I thought I was doing right 🤦🏽♀️
I'm here waiting for my turkey and your posting something that I've been searching for weeks! (It's like you knew what I needed!!!!!) Happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving Latoya and everyone and thanks for reminding me to take care of my edges. Though I use oil, didn't think about putting water on the edges also! :-)
The night routine is very important so great share! Listen sometimes I will actually my bonnet down over my eyes so the sun won’t wake me up in the mornin 😂but my hair is fully covered 😹 I alter between scarf or bonnet depending on the style of my hair and what I want it to do as the week goes. I was rollin at Where da wader 🤣😹😂
😆 That bonnet is doing double duty!! I’m not even mad at cha. Lol! I think alternating is same. Some styles just lend themselves to bonnets, I get it. If I get another bonnet, it would have to be much bigger than my previous one. That thing had a lock grip on my edges!!😂
💫✨ Super suggestions about moisturizing the edges with ‘da water’! 😆 So simple... should be obvious ordinarily, but definitely a stroke of genius 🧠👀 on your part for articulating it!! 👩🏾🦳👍🏾 Thank you sooo much and may you and your family be well. 🌺
Hey Latoya!! I love your videos & personality 🤗 Just FYI do some research into the ingredients of the biotin hair serum, it has Diazolidinyl urea in it, which is a carcinogenic( cancer causing ingredient releaser).
Hey! I’m aware of the ingredient. It’s used as a preservative. There’s been research around it, but none that can prove its harmful effects in the small quantity that it’s typically used in. It’s in a ton of products, and though I don’t think it’s “good”, I think since products typically use .5-1% it’s probably not enough to do significant damage...it’s long term effects over a period of time, I can’t speak of (and neither can scientists) but I think if it bothers you, you definitely shouldn’t use products containing it.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair OK I just wanted to make you & your audience aware of it. Me personally I would never use a carcinogen no matter what amount, especially with how many people I know that has/had cancer. There's no telling what long term effects it has & it's just not worth it for me. To each their own, I just wanted to do my part & make sure people are aware, have a great day!
Great nighttime routine tips. I definitely been paying more attention to my nighttime routine. As for that pineapple method , I use my whole bonnet for that and all nighttime hair regimens. Does keep it simple Sista still exists?
I use two thing on my head, I use my silk scarf and my bonnet. My scarf goes on my edges and my bonnet covers my kitchen in the back of my head so the scarf doesn’t move when I do
Instead of a bonnet or a tie scarf try a gator! Yeah I know that many use it to battle the pandemic HOWEVER I like to multitask! Slip it on, it doesn't smother your head and you don't have to tie that thang down.I love your regimen for pineapple , banding, and switching up 2 times of week. Heck other parts of the body would be made envious because of time consumed by messing with this garden of tresses on this head.😛😘LOL😂
Stunning. Hair looks healthy! Great advice. I’ve been using a homemade castor oil mix on my edges too, it’s been softening them. I have really course strands. Side note: what happened to Tracey? 🤔 You just made me realise she’s not been on. Or is it the algorithm? x
Hey Latoya, since you talk about simplicity, I think you would really enjoy the insight of @iamblackgirlcurls. They are 2 professional hairstylists who recommend focusing on ones lifestyle and style preference when taking care of ones hair. They give great practical advice and focus on simplicity because our hair doesn't have to be (isn't) difficult or complicated. I hope you check them out. 😊😊
I've followed you for a while and never seen you in weaves, wigs or artificial braids.... Does that mean that your main protective styling method consists of natural hairstyles? I love my hair... And wish that I could get away with artificial protective styling... But my hair by day 5,gets so unmanageable and I rarely have the energy to refresh my hair
If I don’t feel like handling my hair I crown twist or put it in big twists until my next wash day. When it gets dry I spritz the twists with a bit of water, a leave in then an oil and squeeze it in. I hope this helps :)
@@QuEeN-uy6lg same! Didn't feel like dealing with my hair the week before and of Thanksgiving (since I was off from work most of that time). So I put my hair in mini twist. It stayed moisturized the whole two weeks :). Btw I found that the LOC method works best with my hair in twist. Never had to retouch it with moisturizing.
@@apara2005 Unfortunately the loc method didn’t worked out for my high porosity hair, but I’m glad it did yours justice 😌 Mini twists are awesome, I always get an arm workout in when I do them 😭💀🤧😂
@@QuEeN-uy6lg LOC wasnt it for me either. I started doing LCO and my hair responds to that better. I'm high Po so I still have to remoisturize during the week but its better than everyday.
It’s not fast, just average. I’ve been growing my hair for 5 years. I just try my best to keep the length I have and technically it should be longer. It’s always a work in progress. Stay tuned because I have a video on the growth cycle. ❤️
Why do people complain about having 4c so much when you can literally just put 4 braids in your hair and walk out the house I’m convinced everyone wants to type 3. Little do they know I do the same routine on my child’s type 3 hair because children love to play and having it out is sometimes not worth it.
@@sheri8048 I mean you can do both it depends on how you feel tbh. I’ve seen people walk out the house with the worse looking wigs / weaves. And that’s just normal to me at this point. Four braids isn’t bad. If you feel like it ofcourse
@@soraya.e5482 I agree, that’s how I feel about wearing shrinkage. I have 4b with some 4a parts. And my hair shrinks about 50-70% honestly not much different then a 4c girl and yet I always hear girls raving about them not being comfortable wearing shrinkage, like it’s really not that bad 🤷🏿♀️
@@Afroguitarist-ed2zt yeah I feel like it depends on how comfortable you are. Some people are really comfortable in their natural hair but most aren’t especially the kinkier textures. I feel like more people should talk about this because it’s a common thought like “ oh you can’t walk outside like that “ and maybe your hair is not perfect but I mean does it need to be if your just running errands or going to work with people you can’t stand? Idk 🤷♀️..

I can't believe the four braids with perm rods at the ends produced this gorgeous style. You can do so much with long, thick hair.
You and I both...you and I both 😂
I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do 4 braids and perm rods. It will take years, but I swear that will be my go-to when it happens.
@@Antoinette922 What's your hair length now?
@Koriander Yander your hair is really dense?

👏🏾😩 The things we go through!
I’ve invested in all those, plus water and I feel and see a difference in my hairline.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 satin pillowcases are beautiful
I love my silk pillowcases! They sleep cooler than satin and they don't dry out as much moisture from the hair as satin.
Definitely using a water based moisturizing spray, rose water, aloe juice, or water lol then sealing with and oil on your scalp, edges, and nape is the goat! I do this every 2-3 days to keep the scalp lubricated, and it’s definitely changed so many things! Our scalp needs way more moisture than we realize.

I was LITERALLY look for night time routines last night. My hair is telling me that what I am doing is WRONG lol. I needed this.
😂😂
I hear ya, me too.
So glad this video came on time for you! 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
That banding with wire was so cute
This hairstyle is beautiful! We need to see a step by step👀
Oh! It’s my last video. The Tik Tok one. I put it in my description box. 🙌🏾
Always looking gorgeous sis💝😻💞💞💞💞💞
Aww thank you!! 🥰
I LOVE your lipstick!!!! Such a great color.

Laying edges too often will destroy it.
It definitely destroyed mine. 🙈 I haven’t layed them in a long time lol
Here channel is getting so large im happy for her im 12 and i got some of inspiration from her to go natural
Aww thank you sweetie! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
