Honestly people who know nothing about our hair are the ones quick to give advice! I love that you love your hair. It’s the best feeling ever. Long may it continue lovely 💕

I don’t see anything wrong with it if the hair is damaged and or if the person wants to shape up their hair. However I do agree that if length retention is your goal then you have to keep the cuts/trims to a minimum by actually looking after your ends so you do not need to cut them. I’m actually doing a personal challenge to see how long I can go without cutting my hair( I started after cutting off ALL my damaged ends which is the best foundation for this challenge really). My hair is usually due for a trim every 3- 4 months but in order for this to work, I’ve changed my routine to keep my ends very healthy. I Will make a video about it to share results from the first 3 months then keep doing updates every 3 months. Really interested to see what will happen because I definitely need the inches now that I’ve cut off half of my hair 😅

@LimitlessBloom Thanks for your response I am trying to retain length so instead of trimming, I am seeking options of how to care and maintain my ends. Looking forward to your video on the topic.😊🙏🏽

Thank you ☺️

Yes I will do. A lot has happened since💕

This is such a great tip. Thanks for sharing 👌🏾

I’m glad 😌

Honestly the freedom is just 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾and I love that us 🥰. Thanks for watching and for your support always 💕

❤️❤️❤️

Aww I love this! It’s really a game changer. Keep it up 💕👌🏾

All the styles from 2016 to 2019 I just used heavy creams , oils/butters and water to set my hair. I always styled on damp hair and finish off by spraying my hair with lots of water and brush it down then tie it with a scarf for at least 15mins but overnight gives the best results. More recent years, I may or may not use uncle funky curly magic which is a very moisturising soft hold botanical gel. I love it because it doesn’t flake and I don’t have to wash my hair to change styles lol that was the main reason I decided to not use gels cos of the strong hold and the residue once you take down the style

@@LimitlessBloom me too. I have the challenge of needing to wash after a few days after using gel! Thanks for the tips

@@CoilyDiaries yes no one has time for that 😅. You’re welcome hun x

Thank you for sharing ❤ I’ve been trying to get to MBL but can’t seem to

Definitely listening to your hair helps a lot. I think a lot of us ignore what our hair has been trying to communicate to us for so long so we struggle to reach our hair goals. Hopefully this will help 💕

Yeah I’d love to rock some coils but the effort is just not worth it. I’ve still got all the products I bought for my wash and go experiments lol cost me £100ssss. The doux, jello shot, curly magic, inner sense 😅. I only lasted 6 weeks with the trials and cut my losses 🤣

Thank you hun , it’s literally my favourite thing about my hair and I only discovered it because I decided to ditch gels and used water to set my styles instead

It really does love to just be left to do its own thing haha

Hey I just ended another one this year which I just broke 😅lol I bought a denim skirt I’d always wanted but hadn’t bought anything since Jan 2024. Last year’s was a disaster as I only lasted 2 months lol so will definitely do another one as I’m getting better at it and take you guys along. My problem is when I’m shopping for my hubby and kids, I end up seeing all these things so it makes it really hard for me but yeah will do another video with updates from the 2 challenges and what I’m learning. Thank you for watching ☺️

Haha I feel you girl , it’s a quick spiral with the oils and butters. Definitely in too deep at this point 😅. I’ve also made castor oil and shea oil this year for sealing my ends so I know that thickness you’re talking about 😅but I really love it. I stopped using coconut oil for no reason at all but will be going back to it soon 👌🏾

That’s great. I stopped using coconut oil (no reason at all) and replaced it with babassu oil but I recently purchased the liquid version of coconut oil that does not solidify below room temperature so will be adding that to my oils from now on. My hair also loves coconut oil and babassu oil and palm kernel oil are just like coconut oil so I use all of them lol. What herbs do you use to wash your hair?

I use the herbs that I drink cyrussy leaf of life even the pepper mint I etc use them to bath with too some of them are plant it my yard if you give it a try when you use the herbs not even condition make your hair or your foot bottom fell so soft I wish I had start long time no more bath soap or shampoo for me as long as I have my herbs

Wow that sounds amazing 👌🏾 thanks for sharing

Glad you found it helpful 😊

Let me know when you do hun and I Hope you like it 💕

Hope you like it!💕

Thanks for watching lovely 💕

Lol you’re certain I have low porosity hair? How?

Hi I’m well thank you! Hope you’re well also 😊yeah definitely learnt that during this process. I have started adding preservatives to my diys now so that has been very helpful

Thank you 💕. Trying to be consistent 🤞🏾praying I can stick with it cos I really do miss y’all when I’m not posting😭 but juggling home life, kids and everything sometimes something has to give and it always seems to be socials that suffer unfortunately. Thank you for watching 😊

The best way and before you know it, you e reached your goal💕and yes our hair is so beautiful 😍

Awww thank you so much lovely 💕. You’re too kind ❤️😘

Thank you so much 💕

Hi this hair shedding is not a result of neglect or lack of treatments. I take very good care of my hair. It’s due to a brief illness and nutrients deficiency after the illness. Something that no amount of treatments can prevent unfortunately 🥲. Thanks for watching 😊

@LimitlessBloom hope you are fine now. Henna and oils treatment are my suggestions, though. Thank you

Yes I’m a lot better now thank you. Those are already part of my routine but thank you for sharing 💕

Thank you lovely 💕

Thank you ☺️. It’s by Arket but bought it on H&M website last year. They do this thing where they sell things from selected brands on the H&M website

Is the shirt made to wrap like that, or does it come with like a wide ribbon that ties in the back?

No I wrapped it twice to get it to the back. The belt is quite wide and long but I like to overlap it to make it look even wider

Your hair looks gorgeous! Good job with the trim 👏🏾 Have you watched a video by @Preciousfro on why she doesn’t trim her hair? I think it’s really interesting and is probably why I feel your hair was beautiful before and after the trim ❤

@SaltInTheCity thank you so much. I generally trim for ease of styling and dealing with the hair in general. Also love a nice shaped fro😅. I haven’t but will check her out. Thank you for watching 💕

Haha it’s definitely important to keep those styles in mind 😅. My son’s hair fell out same time as mine and I find it funny that I immediately cut off all his thin ends but left mine to transition 😅. He’s only 3 so I guess that’s why I could do that 🤣

Thank you for joining me on the journey 💕. I absolutely loved the henna. I did it for colour but didn’t get as much payoff as I wanted. I mixed 70% henna with 20% indigo 4.5%Amla and 7% catachu and acv. Next time will try 98% henna with a tiny bit of Amla and see where that gets me. Yes I love our hair so much and really wish everyone saw and appreciated its beauty especially black women ❤️. Haha the balancing don’t balance most days but we keep trying 😅💪🏾

I agree. Our hair is beautiful and unique. It takes some of us a little longer than others to get there. And yes, we keep trying as mamas to make it all work, ha ha! 😅💕

Thank you ☺️. Can’t wait to share more. I love a good challenge so loving the process. Thanks for watching 💕

Thank you lovely 💕. You already know how I feel about your hair 😍👌🏾

Oh wow that’s amazing! Well done. I can’t swim to save my life 😭. In regards to protein treatments you only need to do them every 6-8 weeks. Anything sooner or later is bad for your hair. Definitely keep me posted on how you get on💕. And please do share your journey! It’d be awesome 🤩 👌

Oh ok . I see. I’ve been using boucleme intensive moisture treatment as it also doubles up as a leave in.i just slap it on and let it sit for at least an hour or overnight depending how tired i am then instead of rinsing I just go ahead and style. Cuts washing and styling time in half and I love it. I’m not sure if the imbue mask is supposed to be used as a leave in? I just checked and it’s not supposed to be used as a leave in. Been using boucleme for about 3years now and been meaning to make a video to share. It’s really good. Use it for my kids too. Do you do protein treatments? And have you tried blow drying instead of drying naturally? I’m just wondering if your hair is staying wet for too long? Cos my hair takes about 2 days to dry fully so maybe that might not be helping. Also does your hair get wet everytime you swim? Also here’s the link for the product www.boucleme.co.uk/products/intensive-moisture-treatment?variant=38032784556232 this is not an affiliate link. I buy it with my own money and usually get the 1 litre as I use it for the whole fam. Has amazing slip and I add my Ayurveda oils to it before using. I’m literally obsessed with multi use products and always on the look out for more. The lazy in me will not rest till I cut washday down even more whilst also giving my hair everything it needs without doing the most 😅

Yes and a cup of water or however much you want to make. I just eyeball it really. I’ve recently just started making it in a medium sized teacup as I realised I was making way too much for my hair. If you do that then I suggest you use teaspoons of each herb or even less.

Yes i did in the end as i didnt have a big enough container to keep both separate. No not yet but i'm working on it. I haven't forgotten :)

Honestly I have no idea about swimming and natural hair other than the fact that you need to use special shampoo’s made for swimmers to remove the chlorine and also to keep on top of your moisture routine and that’s including deep conditioning too. What’s your current routine like and how’s your hair responding to it?

Ahh hopefully one day I can make them to sell. Definitely in my mothering “era” now like the kids say these days😅. Little time for anything else unfortunately. Thank you for watching 💕

Where did I mention that I’d never seen them? I grew up wearing threading styles. It’s all my mum knew and she still wears them till this day .

@@LimitlessBloom Not talking about threaded styles generally. You said "putting them in as a style to wear out" was inspired by "yellowsisi" and showed pics of some fairly basic styles. I'm just pointing out that WestAfricanBaby and others on KZbin have been posting beautiful "threaded styles to wear out" on KZbin for years. It's not a new thing pioneered by YellowSisi.

@@nardagraham1002 ok I do get what you’re saying but this particular style and video was inspired by yellowsisi and as a creator, I will always give credit to where my ideas originated from. Nowhere did I say she was a pioneer of African threaded styles and neither is WestAfricanBaby. Thank you for watching ☺️
