I am using this method for me.. Right as we speak as I prepare dinner, and breastfeed my baby..

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@mwedzi Thank you. I'm glad you found them helpful. Actually my dad did our hair too! There were 4 of us, so every Sunday my mum did two of us and my dad did the other two. Looking back that was actually a really cool thing. :)

[@cynbembem7850]

This is such a wonderful video!! My mum still does my hair when I am on vacations, and she uses the 'old method' omg! U can't scream when it hurts! Cos if you do, she will say "one more scream and I am done with ur hair!" Thanks for this video! Surely gonna teach her this method. Hahaha

[@Kloudkaya]

My mom used to pull on my curls so hard and I hated getting my hair done, so I started doing my own hair around 8 or 9. Thank God for I actually knew what I was doing though XD

[@aglover6969]

You just told me black people could grow hair and I am like mom!!!!!!!! Get the combs out you are braiding my har

[@SOULSTARBELLYDANCER7]

Best video I've seen! Thanks my sister called me today and asked how to detangle my nieces hair. I explained it to her, using finger detangling first then wide tooth comb. This video will help :)

[@jklabelle]

This is absolutely amazing! I remember I used to start cyrying as soon as I sat down! So simple, and so useful. Your video is pretty comical as well.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@solzica82 Thank you! I'm VERY low maintenance with their hair at that age. I only shampoo hair as needed, usually a couple of times a week. I use a small amount of 'baby wash' (currently California Baby body and hair wash). I rinse and comb while it's wet. I used to use a wide tooth comb, but now I use a tangle teaser. I blot it with a towel and then add a small amount of oil - usually coconut or olive oil and that's it. I've requests about baby routines so I'll do a video on it :).

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@TheKjizzle09 Sorry it's taken a while to get back to. Thank you so much!! I'd use cute braid styles to transition, and gradually cut a 1/2" per month, ease them in slowly. We use Berts Bees Baby Shampoo & Curls Coconut Sublime Conditioner (love the smell of that one).I use Suave Naturals tropical coconut conditioner that as an inexpensive rinse-out detangler. I'm not loyal to these products though. I find that leave in products make the most difference. I hope this helps! :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@2BHerself73 Thank you!! You can purchase the small bottles of Giovanni Direct Leave in Conditioner from Wal-Mart in their natural section, but I get an amazing deal on 1 liter bottles from a website called Massage Warehouse. they won't let me post the link. You can go to their site and do a search for Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner and pick the size you want or cut and paste this in google: Massage warehouse Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner. Hope this helps. Happy New Year! x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@mailily Thank you! That's so funny because I used to feel exactly the same way about my hair, before I learnt how to care for it properly. I didn't believe there was anyone out there who had tougher hair than mine (until I had my oldest! lol). Now, so long as I stick to my methods (especially the detangling and washing methods), our hair, for the most part, stays tangle free. I hope they give it a try and see the difference for themselves. Thanks for watching! :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@naturallocksdvm Isn't it great when you find a system that works for you?! Mine are extremely tender headed too. When they were younger I couldn't touch their hair unless they were asleep!. I had to come up with a system or have them walk around looking crazy lol. I used to detangle after washing, but would always end up with a tangled mess. It's so important to find a system that works for your child. As a kid I dreaded getting my hair done, but mine love it! Thanks watching and commenting!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@ltcartwright1976 Lol! I know exactly what you mean! We had long hair too despite my parents not applying the "natural hair techniques" we have today. I think it was because of consistency, low manipulation and always having our hair in protective styles. Thanks for watching :).

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@nikkichristinar Hi! Yes, I use a regular rinse out conditioner when I do a prewash detangle, because I wash it out shortly after. I use a leave in conditioner when styling the hair to detangle and/or add moisture, because I know it will be left in the hair for a while. Thanks for watching! :):)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@PalaisCristalLLC That's so true. I started this channel because I had friends who really didn't know what else to do and were considering perming their children's hair. Since sharing this technique they’ve told me that their hair sessions are now enjoyable, this makes me so happy! :

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Hi, I straighten their hair using the technique I show in video number ♥ 37 ♥ - Stretching Natural Hair Without Heat . They only wear straight styles on the weekend and maybe the odd Friday, because I don't have time to maintain it during the week either. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@henniexoxo Hi Hennie! You are so welcome! I am so happy to hear that!!!! Isn't it wonderful not to dread detangling sessions anymore?:). I'm so glad the vid helped. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and for watching. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@taekwondogirl1973 You are so welcome. Ha ha ha! So you know exactly what I mean! Is there anything they think Vaseline can't do?!?! :). Thank you so much for your feedback. Knowing I can offer a little help to someone along the way is what motivates me.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@hollieferrall01 Ahh, that is so wonderful to hear! Your daughter is very blessed to have someone like you who cares about her hair and self esteem. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@teatiiiime Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! I'm glad you find the vids helpful. I have lots of styles that I can't wait to share with you guys, so stay tuned and Happy New Year! x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@LBellatrix Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! That is so my wish, that people see that keeping a child's hair natural isn't an impossible task and can actually be fun! Thanks for taking the time to comment. x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@lolascrib lol. Thanks! I'm glad the vid helped. I remember dreading the comb when I was young. It's nice to see my daughters not having the same fears as I did :). Thanks for watching!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@thatgirrl5 Yep, I think that's the key. When I spray the conditioner/water mix over the hair and let it marinade for a few minutes. It makes a huge difference! Thanks for watching! x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@missfavoured Oh no! Sorry to hear that! I wouldn't use it anymore if you had a bad reaction to it. I would look for a different leave in that works better for you. x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@naturaluv85 Yes, we like to keep it healthy. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to keep them sitting still after a sugary treat! lol.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@dragonkubush Ha! Yep, there's a lot that goes into hair. Not sure Nic and Pat would appreciate your efforts. lol. Thanks for watching! x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@jklabelle Thank you so much. I think if we can disassociate hair with discomfort/pain, kids will love and appreciate their hair more. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@PalaisCristalLLC Thank you.Thankfully I am able to remember the memories that bring a smile to my face, like they were yesterday. :).

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@pointdevue2010 Thanks hun! It can take a little trial and error the right routine together, but once you do, it's smooth sailing xx

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Giovanni Direct Leave-In Weightless Moisture Conditioner. I got the large bottle online from the Massage Warehouse website. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@MrsKDMelton Thank you! Yes, give it a try. I works out much better for us when we do it this way. Let me know how it goes :).

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@prttyladyb Aww bless you. Not when I'm making them to tidy thier rooms or do extra homework, I'm sure LOL, but than you x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@sbgal13 I'm so glad you found it helpful. Detangling before has made a huge difference for me. Let me know how you get on.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Thank you! No I don't. I keep their hair stretched using African threading. I show how I do this in Vids 37 and 9. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@blackndelicious Ahh, thank you so much! It's always nice to take a trip down memory lane :). Thanks for subbing xx

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@sexich33ks That's brilliant!!!! I'm so glad it helped. Our detangling sessions are a breeze too. :) Happy New Year!

@tracyata Ahh, thank you for taking the time to watch and for your kind comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed the vids. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@naturalblkbeauty Thank you. I do find minimizing the amount of TV they watch has so many benefits! :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Goldniz Lol! Thank you! I remember those days when I was a kid too! :) Thanks for watching x.

[@jennifersinclair1519]

Love watching your videos your comic strips are so funny and your parenting skills and patients are fantastic, really inspirational. This video reminds me a lot of my childhood only with Jamaican mothers they're a lot more militant it would appear compared to African mothers because ours always added the chopping you in the head very hard with the comb when we fidgeted or moved... period! Practically every child of a Jamaican mother knows about the "chopping you in the head", that hard unexpected blow followed by the wringing of your neck when your mum twists your head to an throw whilst holding your hair very tightly. If only Jamaican mothers had your patients back then and had learnt the art of distraction via crayons an paper. Anyway at least our generation knows better now or at least I pray they do.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@AtlantaGirl2012 I'm glad you found us! :) Detangling this way makes things so much easier. x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Thatslovelyy That is awesome!!! Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad the vids helped. xx

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@blukiss1920 Thank you! Yep, hair days were not the most fun in our house either :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@tiffanyssweets I always detangle prior to washing or find any knots get worse.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@PalaisCristalLLC Ha! I know right? Like they were going in for the kill! lol x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@bettytoo2 Not the ace comb! lol! Those hair sessions were no joke back then! :)

@dreaface214 Thank you! More to come. Hope you enjoy.

[@LolasCurls]

This is why I know your channel is going to be a firm favourite of mine! I don't have kids but something this basic never occured to my mum when I was little. Your daughter's hair is definitely 4b because that's how mine stretches and shrinks -lol!

[@mwedzi]

Your childhood memories are a lot like mine, lol. Except my parents had an American accents, and my father often did my hair, too. Otherwise pretty much the same. These are nice videos. I'm going to have to get those clips. They look gentle and useful

[@KTBEverlasting]

I don't know why but black women w/ U.K. accents is the most beautiful and sexiest thing to me. It's just amazing. I love it. And you're very beautiful which adds the icing to the cake. Your daughter's a cutie.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@purebrownsugar77 Thank you!! I'm working on it :) x

[@Thatslovelyy]

your daughters are absolutely GORGEOUS!! :) Im learning how to take care of my natural hair myself and i inspired my 11 year old sister to do it as well. thanks to your video ill be able to THANK YOU

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@NaiveBeauty29 Aww, thank you so much! Me too! :) x

[@atrobertson1977]

This is awesome! My daughter goes through tears EVERY TIME she gets her hair combed and she's 12!!! But her hair is super thick and I can't afford someone constant to do her hair to keep it maintained like I'd love to do. I'll get there one of these days.......

[@hairstyleremovers]

We like your video as well, but for the mothers who have daughters that just won't sit for long-you should try the Take Down Remover Cream. It will hasten the detangling process while softening the hair extremely. Its hard for a mother to hear her precious daughter cry in pain-even if its really because they just don't want to sit. Keep up the great work.

[@brownhazel7562]

Nadine this is Steven' s daughter Michelle I love your video

[@naturalsincebirth2]

LOL!!! Yes there was no detangling..still going through that til this day and I'm a young adult, so this might help my mommy :) Thanks for this vid!!!

[@Philtabit49]

Where did you get those LOVELY hair clips?? I want some, scratch that, I need some....

[@solzica82]

Dear Nadine, I love your videos and I have one request on hair styling, I would like to know how you take care of baby's hair before it's long enough to style. How many times a month do you detangle, wash your girls hair? Thank you in adwance :)

[@maraboup.b.p3908]

Hello Nadine, I have been looking for videos like this an a long time, I have 2 girls 4y and 6 weeks, my 4y had some hair like your younger she went to a wedding they flat iron her hair since then they keep on falling off it has been almost 2 years. what make it worst I have no idea how to comb or take care of her hair and this drive me crazy. Can you please help me? I need you. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ltcartwright1976]

This is SO true. We call it "clearing out" hair where I'm from. I know the pain of these "detangling" sessions with mummy! And you'd better not put your hand near your head or make noise. She'd say "you too nasty! you don't like your hair combed!" All I remember is I hated hair "fixing" days...it just hurt real bad!!! LOL....the memories! Funny thing was with all that brutality, my sisters and I had relatively long hair! Go figure!

[@MonkeymagicsMum]

What beautiful girls...all three of you and how nice to hear an English accent! Watched many Afro-hair detangling vids and am amazed at the time and effort ladies of African heritage put into caring for their hair. My eldest daughter has below bottom length auburn hair and I thought I had my work cut out washing/detangling/drying it until I watched your vids. But what a beautiful result you get!

[@teatiiiime]

I should really be in bed but I am glued to your videos! Thanks so much for the effort it took to create these. They are really well done and I feel like I've learned a lot from watching them. I cant wait to try out your braiding techniques on my daughter, as many times I've tried somehow seeing your demo makes it looks possible! lol I'd love to see videos on additional hairstyles for little girls.

[@mailily]

Great video! People need to understand the importance of detangling and moisturizing. The funny thing is, I've shown this video to three separate people who've each said (in their own way) that your daughter's hair is not "real" 4b or 4c textured hair because it's not as dry, tight, tangly as the 4b/4c they've experienced or seen. I've tried to explain that that's due to the way you take care of it, but they don't believe me. Very interesting. Anyway, great vid!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@solidice242 Thank you for stopping by! :o) xx

[@luvpeaceansoul]

Hi Nadin. Fist of all I just wanted to say that my dad is Ghanaian and although my mom is black I know exactly what you're talking about lol. But as a video request I just wanted to know about the kind of shampoos, conditioners you use for your hair. p.s. my dad didn't think I should go natural because i have really thick african hair.

[@abr1592]

thank you so much for this video! my niece has 4b hair and it is soo completely different than my 3c hair. Growing up my grandmother combed my hair the same way your mother did yours so i understand how painful it can be. Im am very excited to try this out on my niece because i am trying to get her hair to grow and be healthy

[@TheKjizzle09]

OMG! LOVE LOVE LOVE This vid and your channel overall! Very helpful! What kind of shampoo and conditioner do u use? I caved and permed all three of my girls hair! :( I want to transition them but afraid i will hv to cut all their (damaged) hair off, making them laughin stalks....any pointers? Thanks and blessings!

[@Goldniz]

Whaou you take reaaaally good care of your daughter I mean the snack, the DVD ... my mother had to chase me around our appartement when she wanted to detangle my hair (not that I didn't need it) it was exhausting for both of us so I am glad you can help people know how to take care of their children's hair.

[@taekwondogirl1973]

Thanks for posting these video's. My daughter is mixed race and I'm on a steep learning curve, learning to look after her hair. BTW I LOVE the 'clips' you do of your mum, they are very funny and remind me of my (my husband's) family. I've been lead to believe 'Vaseline' will treat just about anything!!

[@naturallocksdvm]

I find that pre-pooing with oil +/- conditioner helps alot, I then wash and detangle clean hair. I finger detangle 1st, then use the jilbere-like comb or the double row comb and follow up if needed with the goody ouchless flex brush that you showed in your video. Your daugher is so NOT tender headed like mine...lucky you.

[@TheVonvon13]

Hello, WOW!!! You really went in to details (cushions,snacks and even mixing the water and conditioner together) with this video. I really appreciate lovely people like yourself. This is like the child's detangling PERFECT INFOMERCIAL! Lovely daughters you have there. Have a wonderful day...
