2 MONTH DOOKIE BRAIDS!!😳😱My Natural Hair WASH DAY ROUTINE After Protective Style + Length Check

[@IsimemeEdeko]

6 years ago I started my KZbin channel and posted my very first KZbin video… not for clout & “fame”, money & status, influence & power, but SOLELY because 1) I saw a huge lack of representation for women & girls that look like ME and 2) I was tired of allowing the opinions of the world/ societal views to dictate my life, my beauty, my worth! It was very apparent to me that I did not “meet the standard” nor fit the criteria for the societal pressures and expectations put on females to look a certain way in order to be deemed “beautiful”. So I decided, “enough is enough!” I knew I couldn’t be the only girl struggling to love on herself in a world that often times makes it very clear and evident what is “hot” and what is “not”. And lemme tell you, a chocolate black girl with type 4 #naturalhair who doesn’t wear a beat face, have a coke bottle shape, and prefers comfortable athleisure attire (#student-athlete) above all else, isn’t what you’d usually see in the “what’s hot” category… BUT BABBBYYYY, TUH-DAY I BEG TO DIFFER!! Because of y’all’s unconditional love & support (and God’s blessings🙏🏾), I’ve managed to defy the odds and pave a lane for myself that I never knew was even possible🥺😭I’m honestly still a bit speechless and flabbergasted at how all of this was just an idea in 2016 that I allowed my imagination to run wild with and now, I have a channel with 900k+ dope ass people who wholeheartedly support my journey and my dreams… I don’t think you guys will ever truly know how eternally grateful I am for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, but I promise to continue making you guys proud of the woman I’m becoming🤍 thank you so much for EVERYTHING!! iloveyouguyssooooomuch Next up, #RoadToAMillion ✨

Isi, you are such an inspiration to me, especially being a young black girl. The way you carry yourself, your advice, and you and Josh’s example of a healthy relationship has really influenced my minds we about who I want to be and the morals I want to have later in life.

@@afrougbaad4058 yess I agree

[@DaFaBBMiSs3s]

It's interesting people say they hair grows when its dirty. I think it's just simply because the hair isn't being manipulated so growth is maintained. I think maybe the "you need to wash your part" is for the build up and all that jazz on your scalp. But like you said different strokes for different folks. But my next wash day I need to wet my braids like that in the shower idk why I never did that.

[@Kesleyknox]

No judging over here! This is exactly how it be for some of us. We be needing a break & get way to comfortable in it but the overall growth is worth it lol definitely

[@mtolbert03]

Love your videos! Suggestion for when you do your cornrows: Add a braid going horizontal at the nape of your neck, especially if you wear your braids in a little bun. It’ll help prevent pulling and breakage at the nape. When I started doing that I noticed major growth and retention in my hair 😊

[@Lifeasyarah]

A little tip: I just purchased this suction accessory cup from amazon for the shower to put all my sheded hair in on wash days, made my life alot easier than sticking it to the wall.

[@marytwinflamessoulfamunite7102]

You got a link for this suction cup for shedding hair I definitely need that I shed like crazy sometimes I wonder if I shed worse then my dog he's a Border Collie especially when I wash my hair i have curly 3 a 3 b hair that's damaged so Stil working on getting it completely healthy again and learning how to take care of my curly hair

[@CatsOrangeAndGrey]

A hair video like this is what had be subscribe to your channel years ago. I was reading on hair routines for different types of hair, and I was amazed at the amount of *work* some types need. I have thin, wavy hair that I can’t fine a natural shape to. But you know what made me subscribe and stay to watch your videos all these years? You, your personality, how outgoing and honest you’ve always been. I’ve loved seeing you and Josh go through it together. The way he looked at you in the end, that’a how my fiancée looks at me. That love and complete acceptance of who you are. I recognized that look. You’re both lucky to have each other. Oh I also love your routine and product recommendations. Congrats on your 900k, you DESERVE it!

[@kdrkashmonays]

congrats on 900k!!! i’ve been watching you since i was a sophomore in high school and now im a sophomore in college + seeing you grow beyond just a natural hair youtuber has made me so happy (: your videos initially helped me love my own hair as a type 4 girl but over time your videos genuinely just made me love my blackness in its entirety

You gave me strength for my hair . I was going to keep the cornrows in for 2 months but I decided to leave it in for 3 months. The way you detangle in the shower with water and conditioner just gave me hope. And re-braided immediately. 2022 is a year I will only wear cornrows 3 months at a time.

Will you be resting your hair for a week or immediately cornrow it back up?

No other video show this so is my hair breaking or healthy lol😅? But now I know, its all good. My hair clearly is growing too so it must be fine lol.

Hair grows whether clean or dirty. I think the issue is that when dirty, it’s a lot drier and can lead to more breakage so you don’t really see the growth of your hair because your hair is breaking as it’s growing so it cancels each other out.

I blow dried my hair for my birthday back in December and neglected it. I was also taking hit growth vitamins and my roots are dry, tangled, an matted. And everyday I would tell myself that I’m going to wash my hair, but i don’t because i know detangling will be a nighttime and prolonging it only makes it worst. I only wash my hair twice since October. But to fair, apparently I’ve developed mild depression since my father died in October, but I can’t keep living like this. My scalp nor my future hair goals can continue this way. I have never wanted to go bald a day in my life until I took off my bonnet and saw the birds nest that I called my hair 😵‍💫
