I totally identify with each stage of your hair journey. Only difference is I did not take care of my hair during the years I wore a wig. Lots of breakage. Had to do a "big chop" once I stopped wearing the wig. Thanks for sharing your story. The hair/self love struggle for us ladies of color is real.
Thank you Jacy for being so transparent. I have big chopped my hair 3 times. Now it is growing but it still looks short. My hair is type 4. But that is part of the journey. I love your sentiment of wearing curly hair anywhere, no matter the occasion. This encouraged me. P. S I love your hair!
I can totally relate to that in-between phase of haircuts, but you're right in that it's all part of the journey and the wait will pay off!! Thank you so much for your comment
That was a fun video seeing your hair styles throughout the years! I honestly would not have recognized you with some of the styles. Especially the wigs! I love your current style with the loose curls/ringlets. The blond color looks good.
I love, love, love curly hair! Mine looks similar to yours in curl size and length, except I achieve that look via a yearly perm. My natural hair is fine-textured and straight, which means having to shampoo it every single day or it looks “piecy and greasy.” I’m almost 60 and have had perms off and on for the past 30 years. When I do wander off the path, I always end up going back to a crazy head of curls. It makes me feel fabulous and sassy! (And I can wait an embarrassing amount of time in between shampoos). 😮 I consider myself a “curly girl imposter” but I’ll take it any day over my natural situation. Your curls look amazing on you!
Thank you, I stopped using the flat iron in July 2019. During the pandemic I cut my hair to achieve an Afro. I braided my hair in box braids and relied heavily on “natural’ hairstylists. Moving forward I’m going to cut my hair and style it. You’re an inspiration to your Black and biracial sisters. 😊
I watch all of your videos but this video I really liked only because I usually go for the titles that have story times in them but I really wanted to watch this one! I loved how open you were to be able to laugh your past self😂 I remember this one hair style that I really wanted when I was little but my hair was too short and it always made me sad I never got to do it. In case you were wondering it was a two strand twist sort of bangs in the front, ponytail in the middle and then a couple more two strands twists in the back, making a sort of back head bang twists😂 Really loved this video💜
Wait that hairstyle sounds so cute!! But sorry you can relate to not being able to try hairstyles when yours is too short haha. Thanks so much for supporting my channel
This journey with both your hair and weight is so relatable to my journey too!! It was hard growing up trying to decide what the heck I was doing with both of those factors but now (despite my profile picture 😂) I rock my curls with any opportunity I get!! Thank you for posting this Jacy ❤
Thank you for this video. I am Puerto Rican and have very curly hair but I always straighten it. I guess it was just "easier" for me but I don't feel like myself anymore. You have been motivated to start wearing my curls again. I have bangs and love how you wear them curly so I might try to do something similar, thank you.🤗
Well, the good ol' TH-cam rabbit hole led me to your video. As a fellow biracial human that possesses similar hair characteristics, I say embrace those curls. As a child, my hair was curly. As I've aged, I've gained a new found respect for my formerly curly hair. As such, I'm in the process of growing my hair out to reclaim my curls.
Goodness gracious. Jacy ur so pretty. I love ur personality. Am a big supporter of ur TH-cam channel. Wish i could personally get to know u, cz u seem like a really cool person.
I'm mixed and ❤ my curly hair too😁. I haven't gone through the straightening my hair FaZe in my life. My white mom steered me away from straightening my hair even though she didn't really know what to do with my hair or how to really take care of it at first but she learned. And I have 2 younger sisters and one of them has hair that leans more to the black side in texture. But other then that she could pass as white like me but she has light brown hair and blue eyes and burn in the sun white complected literally. And my youngest sister has curly hair like mine mixed/ kind of like white people hair but she is dark complected like our dad. And I look in between in my complexion compared to my sisters and I can tan. We all look like sisters because our facial features are similar regardless of the different skin tones. And our mom learned how to do mine and my younger sisters hair too❤.
Your natural hair color is Beautiful. I honestly just want you to wear whatever gives you confidence and peace. You are a lovely young lady, and I wish you continued happiness and success. On an unrelated note, is that your brother @ 17:17 ? He looks like Kirk Hammett from Metallica 😎🙂🎸 Very cool..
Hi Jacy enjoyed the post. Just a question one... I noticed most of your pictures contained dates of similar looks... did you ever date anyone of color?
I’m not done watching the video but as a mixed girl I felt every single one of these hairstyles … the unicorn bump was a vibe And the side twist! The tubs of gel I went through haha - on a side note you have always been so beautiful 😍
Nice channel. But African American is not "difficult" as stated. You do need to know how to care for it, just like with any type of hair. Im glad you have grown to love your natural hair. I think you look beautiful with dark hair. I'm not your audience, but that's OK. I can tell you are still early in the journey because you say some problematic things that i believe are unintentional. We all go through our journey of self-love and identity development. I wish you well and much success.
e-sakara6457. I'm so glad you said this. As a dark-skinned Afrodescendant woman, with so-called 4c hair, references to 'difficult' hair really jarred with me. It reflects the internalisation of a white (supremacist) beauty standard. However, as you said, it's early days. I hope these aspects evolve whilst engaging with other experiences of Afrodescendant women and their hair. I've had natural hair for a long time but fell into the habit of relying on protective styles over the decades. I'm now venturing into using my real, natural hair for longer periods and it's a re-awakening. Thank God for that. The journey of being released from mental slavery, to paraphrase Bob Marley...
12:30 - beautiful hair. Well, since it seemed to have worked wonders for you in terms of your weight management and self-esteem.... I'm thinking of starting wearing wigs.
You felt more authentic by changing your natural hair color? incidentally I think you look most biracial or least white passing with dark hair, especially dark curly hair.
I was drawn to check out your channel because of your personality and hair on another video!! Your hair made me click on the video and your bright personality and smarts brought me to check your channel out! You look marvelous in blonde and brown!! And ... unicorn bump club member here! Is it insane that I totally rocked the bump yesterday?? LOL
Like you videos a bunch, but this is the first video where I just see your nose changes vs. your hair. Did you get a nose job and if so, maybe you'll share with us why and that journey? That is, unless you have and I have yet to view that video. Ciao! Keep doing these videos! You are great at it!
The black hair color matched you very well. I like your curls. I understand wanting the low maintenance of wearing straight hair for a week. Cool video! I graduated from college in 2014 as well😌
When I was very young my hair was thick and so curly like yours. I am an "octoroon" (Like Megan and Harry's kids) where I have a smaller amount of black than you but boy does that West African black DNA stand out with my hair! Black DNA is strong even with an octoroon like me and my sister who was more lily white than me! She actually has curlier hair than mine and could never work with it very well so she just kept it short and curly. So there goes the theory of the lighter you are the less "black" you have. It was torture for me trying to straighten it. I used chemicals and flat irons. Now my hair is thinner since I am an old lady and is straighter. Now that I look back I wish I would have grown it very long. Boy, what a real natural beauty I would have been with all that thick curly hair. Silly insecurity of the youth when you are mixed race. Thanks for sharing your photos and experiences. Very similar to mine. Wigs galore too. Super interesting.
If you are like Meghan and Harry's kids, you are a quadroon. Meghan is 1/2 black, so her kids are 1/4th black. They would be quadroons. An octoroon is 1/8th black, meaning one great grandparent (8 total) was black. If Lilibet and Archie marry white people, their kids will be octoroons.
I was born with a tight row of curls at the back of my head. My Mom told me how, when she came back from the hospital, my Dad was unusually solicitous, having her settle down, while taking baby me to another room to cut off my curls, and returning proclaiming that no son of his would be a “sissy”. My Dad cut our hair with a barber kit he had acquired at some point; his Dad was a surgeon, so it kind of makes sense as the professions were historically related. We four boys all had buzz cuts through elementary school, but there were many intimidations - including my Mom reciting to me the poem about the girl with a curl in the middle of her forehead - that my hair was naturally curly, and that was an embarrassment on my Dad’s side. My paternal grandmother had my Dad’s hair straightened for a Dutch-Boy hair cut in which he was posed for a Little Lord Fauntleroy style photograph circa 1930. As I discovered later that my paternal grandfather’s parents were Galizian Jews, I suspected that my Dad was subjected to “Jew boy” slurs growing up and that that accounted for his hypersensitivity over curls, even though there was plenty of wavy hair among men on his Mom’s side of the family.
Good work...It challenging having Curly hair..Please find a professional Black stylist who would understand your texture conditioning and coloring needs ..Stop cutting and dying Sis (all the time) get it professional done at least once a month..Stay Lifted ❤❤❤
Curly hair, straight hair, wigs and anything in between your beautiful and it really shows with your smile. ❤
you always make me smile with your comments
This video deserves way more views. You spread so much wisdom through telling this journey of loving your natural hair.
Thank you so much Michael, this means a lot 😭

You look very pretty with almost every hairstyle, Jacy!
Thank you Jacy for being so transparent. I have big chopped my hair 3 times. Now it is growing but it still looks short. My hair is type 4. But that is part of the journey. I love your sentiment of wearing curly hair anywhere, no matter the occasion. This encouraged me. P. S I love your hair!

I love this!! Your curly hair is honestly the best and it just makes me smile!!
I appreciate it, and agree the curls are for me 🥰
Totally went through this same journey. Now I realize our beautiful curls rock! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Happy you also learned how to embrace your gorgeous curls!!
That was a fun video seeing your hair styles throughout the years! I honestly would not have recognized you with some of the styles. Especially the wigs! I love your current style with the loose curls/ringlets. The blond color looks good.
I know, I was quite the chameleon with my hair and weight always changing lol, but it's fun to switch it up!
one thing that didn’t change was your smile and girl is it beautiful
Ahh you’re too sweet 🥰🥰
Your natural hair is BEAUTIFUL and obviously so healthy 😊
I love, love, love curly hair! Mine looks similar to yours in curl size and length, except I achieve that look via a yearly perm.

Thanks for sharing and allowing other curly hair people to vicariously live through your experience. I too have started to embrace my coils hair😘
I’m not normally on curls but I must say they are looking fabulous on you.❤

Love that!! Everyone has their own journey towards self love, so happy to hear you’re embracing it ❤️❤️

You’ve always been gorgeous, but the confidence (or Khanhfidence, hehe) and huge curls are IT!
dang, Khanhfidence is the coolest branded term I've ever heard, and I'm glad I earned that recognition haha. Thank you so much!

Your hair is super pretty. Loved the pictures!
You look good so be happy
That was excellent! Thank you for sharing.
did you have surgery on your nose?
Your natural hair color is Beautiful. I honestly just want you to wear whatever gives you confidence and peace. You are a lovely young lady, and I wish you continued happiness and success. On an unrelated note, is that your brother @ 17:17 ? He looks like Kirk Hammett from Metallica 😎🙂🎸 Very cool..
You're nose loooks different when you were younger did you do something?
Definitely different less negroid
Absolutely….her nose is completely different. Jacy is a very upbeat woman. She’s open and engaging.
Hi Jacy enjoyed the post. Just a question one... I noticed most of your pictures contained dates of similar looks... did you ever date anyone of color?
Super POSITIVE. 😊
I’m not done watching the video but as a mixed girl I felt every single one of these hairstyles … the unicorn bump was a vibe And the side twist! The tubs of gel I went through haha - on a side note you have always been so beautiful 😍
Ughhh the amount I’ve spent on gel throughout the years 😂😂 I relate hahaha
I feel like I had to go through a journey to learn how to deal with fine hair. My mom has coarse hair unlike mine
Your hair is beautiful.
You hair is so nice

excellen tfootage,=))
Have you had any work done??
Wow that's crazy
12:30 - beautiful hair.
Well, since it seemed to have worked wonders for you in terms of your weight management and self-esteem.... I'm thinking of starting wearing wigs.
may I ask you,you said you are half white and half black,you mother and father who is white and who is black
I need you to feature your brother and post the same video!! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
You felt more authentic by changing your natural hair color? incidentally I think you look most biracial or least white passing with dark hair, especially dark curly hair.
You have a whole face, different nose etc,
You look great but I guessed you’re mother was White from your photos.
I was wondering why black and mixed race people who live in eurocentric societies hate their skin and hair....🤔🤔🤔
What is shown as beauty in American media? What is the comment from the netizens when black/biracial women are featured?
I feel like you are telling my story except I'm 41 and just wanting to embrace my hair I already watched your Facebook reels I'm glad for the advice!!
Not my place to simp on random girls YT channels but you’ve grown more attractive with age.
Haha I appreciate it, definitely had a blowup over the years!
So glad you embraced your curls and went back to blonde 🤩 loved the vid!!
Thank you so much! Blonde suits me better I think lol
Great video and great lesson about learning to love your natural hair.
Thank you so much 🤗
I was drawn to check out your channel because of your personality and hair on another video!! Your hair made me click on the video and your bright personality and smarts brought me to check your channel out! You look marvelous in blonde and brown!! And ... unicorn bump club member here! Is it insane that I totally rocked the bump yesterday?? LOL
I appreciate it so much!! Haha the unicorn bump was not for me, but it can definitely still be rocked today, love it!!
Your nose is different.......
I learned how to contour it pretty well 😂
It always has fascinated me how our hair changes throughout our lifetime.
Right? And how different it makes us look!!
Your hair is pretty magical.
Like you videos a bunch, but this is the first video where I just see your nose changes vs. your hair. Did you get a nose job and if so, maybe you'll share with us why and that journey? That is, unless you have and I have yet to view that video. Ciao! Keep doing these videos! You are great at it!

Hi Jacy, thanks for sharing. Where in your journey did the nose reshaping happen?
Hey - I like your hair. And you're a good looking woman.
Wow. The dyed black hair was a great look for you.
I liked the black not gonna lie 😂
Rock your curls girl 💕
Your hair looks great! Keep rocking those curls.
crazy gorgeous

Your nose looks so different now. Did you have it done?
It looks much slimmer. She is pretty but she was always pretty.
Good work...It challenging having Curly hair..Please find a professional Black stylist who would understand your texture conditioning and coloring needs ..Stop cutting and dying Sis (all the time) get it professional done at least once a month..Stay Lifted ❤❤❤
I can relate. My hair hate me so I’ve been natural since 2006. Love it
I think your hair is lovely. Very unique with your blue eyes.
What’re your fav products??
You are so adorable ❤️❤️❤️
the photo at 10:16 😍
i don’t get how you look younger now than you did in some of those high school pictures….that’s insane
Black Don't crack and Buege Don't age
I love this channel so much
You’re the best Jodie ♥️
