Right?!
When I found your channel I just big chopped. You are 6 months “ahead” of me in your natural hair journey. I’m so proud of us! This is the longest I’ve been natural and I plan to grow my hair as long as humanly possible!
LOVE your support of black owned businesses Joy-el…You don’t just talk the talk you walk the walk…You’re a sunflower 🌻 🖤🌻…Sharon
This is awesome! I am mixed and for 20 yrs used to relax my hair and do blonde highlights, 8 yrs ago in Nursing school a classmate relentlessly urged me to stop relaxing as she said her cousin had the same texture hair as me and hardly has any hair left due to relaxing , I couldn't imagine how I would tame my thick curly hair but I finally decided to try it, I am so happy I listened to that woman! I am 8 yrs relaxer free! Now I have decided to ditch the bleach and highlights and at 54 I am also growing my hair down my back , I am also free from the belief that you had to have short hair especially after 50, lol, so happy I understand now that we can make our own rules for style and fashion as long as it is kept classy , I'm all in!! 🎉🎉🎉
I just came here to say this is what I thought my hair would look like at 5 years natural and it’s just NOT the case. So now I’ve been doing/trying styles that reflect what I want opposed to just wishing my hair was a certain way.
Schedule a call with her! I’m sure she can help you out!
I adore your minimalist approach to your hair. My hair is literally in twists or braids (with my nautral hair) almost ALL the time. I relate to this so much.
Thank you! I actually started using Sulfur 8 after watching some of your videos ❤
@@SharmaineJoyel Omg forreal?? *passes out*
Thanks Joy-el! That means very much to me 🥹❤️
5 yrs already! I remember when you first big chopped. Time moves fast. Great job learning your hair ❤
Thanks so much, Joy! Your transparency is such an inspiration. You’ve never been ashamed of your Afro and celebrate your hair texture. You’ve not compromised or modified your hair texture just to placate someone’s discomfort with what is acceptable. Thank you! Keep Shining! 🙌🏽🏆
Beautifully said!
Queen your Crown is lovely & thanks for sharing your journey I've been with you since the start. I did my big chop 1 year after. I still have not added heat. out of fear of damage . I wanted to say you Rock.
You're stunningly beautiful. Your hair looks so pretty
I big chopped around the same time as you and I feel like we’ve been going through our hair journey together by watching every single one of your videos ❤️❤️
I love when you upload because it reminds me “hey take care of your hair”
🫶🏽Gorgeous , and the volume is 🔥 looks strong and healthy. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You go girl! 😊
Your hair is so long now!!! It's been a joy to watch your videos the past year or two, you're amazing.
I’ve loved watching your natural hair journey! Your hair is gorge and has grown so much. I agree with you about Sulfur 8 lol. My mom used it on my scalp as a child and it’s the truth for itching/flaking. I still use it as an adult. The brand even has a new lighter formula in a blue container that is the same but doesn’t have such a powerful scent as the original one in the yellow container. Great vid!♥️🫶🏾
I use it too with glovers mane and black Jamaican oil
If you look up "Cut it Kinky Alumni Stylist Directory" you can search up natural hair salons near you! I've personally stopped using oils and butters on my 4c hair but no matter your routine I've found a good stylist through them for a regular trim!
Congrats on 5 years!!! Your hair looks great! 😊
I'm in the middle of watching the video but you're so beautiful and so is your hair and I look forward to more content!
Joy-el, your content is amazing! Your hair is amazing! YOU are AMAZING!!!! I have been watching your videos for about four years and wow! The length and thickness of your hair is enviable!
I love how you emphasize the value of consistency with a good foundational routine over products and implements! I also appreciate the fact that you consistently support Black products and businesses!
Congratulations on your five years! I look forward to seeing what you do in the next five!!!!! Best regards!
--from a fellow 4Cer who didn’t know her hair could do this!!!! ☺️
Those... those have got to be the most beautiful braids I've ever seen!!! Totally agree with the simplistic routines! It's not about fancy products, the magic is in the method!
I totally agree!
I went 10 years. Had tons of setbacks but I went back to my perm IF MY HAIR REACHED GOALS, maybe I would have stayed natural but my kinda hair, would not thrive. I swear I tried everything in that 10 years tho. I am now on a healthy, relaxed hair journey..deep conditioner is good for relaxed AND natural so ill stick with that
My 5 year natural hair anniversary was last week too 😊 I’ve been following you since the beginning & our hair is the pretty much the same length & texture. We’ve come a long way! I’m looking forward to your new content 💜
Thanks for sharing your journey and for showing that you can wear and maintain type 4 natural hair without the use of added hair.
Your progress is truly something magnificent to behold, Joy-el❣️
Now I want to buy the revair 😩 your braid out looks amazing. I’m only 4 years naturals so it’s not as long as yours but it should look similar
Yay! Congrats on 5 years natural Joy-el! Your hair looks amazing!😍 keeping it simple is key! I’m 6 years natural as of June and I finally made to waist length after 2 minor setbacks that I was able to repair! I tell people all the time if you find something that is working-stay with it. I wash my hair every 3 to 4 months, because every 3 weeks was kind of aggravating-like my grandma always used say “nah uh that’s too much water.” 😂but I co wash in between with my protective style left in. I only band my hair and wrap it into a bun and stays like that until my next wash day lol 😊
Wow, this is really length goals! I’d love for my hair to get to the length that yours looked like when wearing braids and twists. I love how those protective styles look with no added hair.
Right now, I feel like I’m struggling a lot to retain length. For the past four months, I have been keeping my hair in medium-size twists, and just wearing scarves and wigs, but I found that I am still not retaining length and it’s soo frustrating.
Make sure you're thoroughly cleansing your hair every time, but be careful not to rub shampoo into the ends! That will dry them out. Baby them with conditioner (deep/rinse-out/leave-in) before, during, and after washing and styling.
@@BionAvastar3000 yes I ensure my scalp is very clean because i get itchy scalp too.
I also apply extra product to the ends and try to snip single strand knots everytime I see them.
Get your levels check in your body .. to make sure everything is good .. And iron levels .
@@leanwithangeline8060 in the past my iron levels and vitamin D were low. I’ll get it checked again.
Try either finger detangling or being super gentle with the comb
Looking forward to more great content! 🎉
Beautiful hair!!! Love it..❤
Happy 5 years to us 🥂 I big chopped February 2018. I wash my hair every 4-6 weeks because it’s too much lol. I also take a simple approach with my hair. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! So proud of your growth.
Congratulations!👏💜 Your hair is lovely it has grown very nicely in these five years. It's great that you remained consistent and had patience. Simplicity with hair care works very well.
Omg I love your channel! Love that you keep it very simple and your hair is still very healthy. One of my favorite natural hair TH-camrs !❤
❤❤❤❤❤
What a lovely young lady you are, I watched you from your nervous beginning, you have come far, keep doing what you're doing. well done you 😊🖤🤎❤🧡💛
Yay! I haven’t seen you for so long but I’ve been with you since the beginning of your journey. Congratulations on your marriage.
Your hair is glorious!! I have been subscribed to your channel since I did my big chop nearly a year ago. To my surprise, my hair has really grown (from nearly 6” to 11” in less than a year). I find that I am using A LOT MORE PRODUCT AND TAKING A LOT MORE TIME than I used to when my hair was shorter. As a result, I am attempting to simplify my wash day routine while still keeping my hair moisturized. Have you found that the extensive length of your hair has played a role in your decision to modify your wash day from weekly to much less often??
Oh definitely! I used to wash once a week but now I push it out a few weeks to save my arms and sanity lol 😆
@@SharmaineJoyelYES!! Same here…..My arms just can’t take it!! I go thru products each wash day like you wouldn’t believe!! And it takes me 5-6 hrs with all the steps (Prepoo, shampoo, protein treatment, conditioner, deep conditioning masque, aloe vera, leave-in and then styling product….Whew!). Crazy making!! And expensive!!! 🤣 But, I love my natural hair and it’s so good to know that you have scaled down the wash day frequency. Thank you for this video!!!!!
I've been following you from day 1.. absolutely gorgeous and healthy hair 😍
Bro your shit grewwwwwwww omggggg I remember you doing videos in your bathroom and we could see behind you lol. Good for you girl.
It looks sooooooo good and I love all your beauty content! Hair vida, hair jewelry, nails, make up, outfits, all so fun to watch. You look amazing ❤
Wow!! Consistency is sooo key😍❤️🔥! Beautiful! I was wondering, if you’ve ever tried a low “slick” ponytail on your stretched hair or a half up, half down hairstyle?
LOL I'm so glad you brought this up because I literally tried a half up half down look the other day and girl... my hair was not having it 😂
Omg! I love your videos. Your hair has grown so much. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are an inspiration.
I love my natural hair. ❤
The last thing to grow on the fruit tree really is the fruit. Been following a while ❤
Congratulations on 5 years. Your hair is lovely ❤
Wow I can’t believe it’s been 5 years! I remember watching your original vid😮 your hair is so gorgeous
Always look forward to your videos!!! Your hair is gorgeous as always!!
Your hair is gorgeous! The growth was amazing
Thank you for this video! I remember when I first followed you a few years back and I fell off from watching videos but it was nice to come back & watch you and see how you're doing hair-wise and life wise
I’m going to try the hair soufflé you showed. I like butters for my hair too. And if I owned a hair supply store, I would LOVE for you to come and give my store publicity.

I bought mine at a Marshall's & Home Goods but here is the website!
Damn... She is absurdly beautiful.
🎉😅Girl, do what works for your pockets! Don’t let these black hair salons rob you Sis!!! I’ll definitely be using that nizoral AD. 💆🏽♀️Already been using the ❤sulfur 8❤. My hair grows like weeds with that grease. 😂
I have similar hair as you: long type 4, high density and a lot of hair too, and I don't know how do you have the patience to deal with it 😅 I recently cut it because i couldn't deal with so much hair + spend 5 hours just washing and blowdrying my hair each week. I've never felt so free in my life lol
Your hair is so full and beautiful🤩 Currently on the journey with what to do with my fro 😅 It’s wholesome seeing someone who looks like me 🫶🏽🥹
Love the idea of you filming in a black owned supply store.
Your hair is absolutely beautiful
My grandma used Sulfur 8 on our scalp when we were young.
Your hair looks gorgeous ans thick and so good on you. Love your content and natural hair appreciation.
I have used Sulfur 8, wild growth Oil, Black Caster Oil, and 2 drops of JoJo Oil mixture for 3 years and my have is growing like weeds and it is very healthy. Very little shedding when I take down protective styles and shampoo. I always pre Poo with JoJo oil before hand. This is the system that works for me❤.
Black owned beauty supply stores are hard to find. I love the idea of featuring them.
I can't believe it! Your hair is soooooo Beautiful and thick, you look like an angel.😇
Can't wait for new ideas
Thank you for bringing us along this journey ❤️
Absolutely 💯 maintainable!
Stay beautiful.🎉❤
Would you mind making a video about how often you trim and how you trim your hair yourself?
Thanks for sharing but my problem is I want long hair but not to touch my skin while growing it out
Try wearing it in a high puff or high ponytail
@@SharmaineJoyel thanks for the helpful tip ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@SamanthaG1989_You're very welcome! Always here for you ❤
@@SharmaineJoyel thank you and I always appreciate your truth and honest on your hair journey 💙💙💙💙
I love it 🎉congratulations. I can’t believe it’s been five years. I love your videos
So good to see your face again! Your hair is magnificent. I’m not sure if this is the supply store you found, but I’ve visited a little bitty one called Get Sassy Beauty Supply in Chandler. They seem to be a big supplier of wigs and extensions which I don’t use, but they seem to carry a few black owned hair care lines in there and the staff was definitely very nice. I’ll bet they’d let you film there if you wanted.
I cannot believe it has been five years since I found your channel when you big chopped!
Your hair is so dense it’s amazing. Bless you! 🙏🏾
Loved this video! Your hair looks awesome! I just purchased the RevAir which is so exciting. Would you be able to make a tutorial of your full RevAir braid out routine? 😊❤
Yes! I'll do an updated routine video soon! Probably going to try and film it tomorrow, actually 💕
Yes. Please do😊
I love your videos and energy ❤ also, Joy-el seems like it would make a great hair product brand name if you ever were to create your own 🙂 keep blooming 😎
Well well well. Look at how far we've come.
Your hair looks amazing!
The hair is insane! After your wash day, how often throughout the week do you have to remoisturize it and do you repeat the LCO method when you do that?
The half up half down updo looks gorgeous on you when you pulled it up! You could do a different video per hairstyle, I've been looking for new ideas on how to just wear my own hair without extensions.
Thank you! I remoisturize after about the 3rd or 4th day of wearing the braid out 😊
@@SharmaineJoyelhow do u sleep without your braid out becoming undefined? do you re-braid?
@@quinnhayes3046Curious to hear her answer. One “hack” I used to do is pick the most undefined sections and only braid those (dampen slightly first). So I’d end up with about 4-6 braids. That way, it refreshes the style without having to braid your whole head.
Hey! So good to see you again..your amazed me, looks beautiful x
Ahh i can't believe it's been 5 years already omg
Great Video. Great seeing you. How is your Mom doing with her hair? Regimen
I want to do an updated video with her when she has time, but she's doing great! She keeps it short for now 😊
@@SharmaineJoyel that's awesome 😃
I can’t wait to get to my natural hair !
We know your routine doesn’t change sis! But we’re just in awe on seeing on how you apply it on the longer hair now🥺🥺🙏🏾🙏🏾 😁😁
I just chopped off my hair in so happy to see this post!
Great video!!! Thank you so much for taking us on this journey, I've learned so much!!!
Fantastic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Can you do a video of you favorite products now vs then or OG products that you still love?
Your hair is lovely
Bless you, God keep you!!!
Joyel Link that Shea Shouffle Butter What ever u doin is working.

@@SharmaineJoyel Gracias Mami Mi Afro Latina Lil Cousins Be needing help with hair sometimes. Keep it up 👍🏽🇵🇷🇩🇴
Beautiful!! 🌸
Congrats on 5 years natural. Your hair is so thick and it looks so healthy.
Girl your hair grew really nice and it looks healthy too I have not seen u a long time but now I am see u I just know u have been taking care of your hair 🎉🎉❤❤💖👏👏👏
Does your hair stay stretched when you are wearing it out or does it shrink back? I miss the big afro but this is beautiful too ☺️
My hair is not even half your length and washing it was already complicated, until I recently found a good detangling shampoo. So I totally understand why you don't want to spend hours washing weekly with your current length and density!!! Now, after over 10 years of being natural and struggling with wash day, I highly recommend using a detangling shampoo. I live in France and I'm using a shampoo from a French brand called Activilong Actiforce, but I think in the US market Design Essentials and Mielle Organics are good choices for detangling shampoos.
It will shrink a little bit but mostly it gains tons of volume lol 😆
I also wanted to say that I really appreciate the important messages you share on your channel: keeping things specific to your own needs, simple, affordable and easy to maintain on a regular basis 😊
Wow!
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your short hair omg
Your hair is so thick and healthy❤
Girl I also feel you about Walmart. Thankfully I live in a city that doesn’t have it, but when I visit GA I always witness some type of messiness lol😂
Been following you from the very beginning. I love this for you!!!!!!!!❤
60K we see you!
You have Beautiful hair and the color suits you so well😍
Your hair look beautiful ❤
Thanks for the video! Your hair looks wonderful! Peace and Blessings.
Your hair is absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you Ms. J Hair is BEAUTIFUL!!! just like you..
