Please don't think putting heat on your hair is "ending" your natural hair journey. flat ironing it once in a while is OKAY. healthy hair bounces back !

[@kianacarr5755]

veronica burse 😩🙂🙂🙂🙂😇 Thank you so much for that comment.!! lol That renewed my hair faith.!

[@96softballplayer]

Kiana Carr you're so very welcome ! 🙃

[@stars.4960]

Eh

[@hollywoodsdestiny7919]

Yass

[@ithamarlucien]

Coconut oil is definitely not my friend, olive and avocado oil are bae!!.. Hair tip: be open to advice, but LISTEN to your hair!!

[@enkubella]

yup i can't agree more about listening to your hair. I used to just follow what all the natural bloggers used to say. But after I started listening to my hair I have witnessed significant growth.

[@blueangeloftheseas]

Ithamar Lucien yeah, my hair prefers coconut oil during the wash process or incorporated into something. Wheatgerm oil is woooo 💞

[@LA-ix4qd]

olive oil doesn't work for my hair coconut, herbal,and avocado oil is really good for MY hair

[@yasschick7937]

14 is ironic bc the natural hair movement was initially created for tighter curled naturals, so us accepting our hair should've been a given, instead we found ourselves a new hair insecurity (not having loose enough curls) and thus perpetuated more hair hate, that we are only now undoing.

[@madori8909]

This!!!

[@zoedailey4191]

Friendly tip, Jamaican black castor oil will grow your edges back healthy and quickly.

[@monicapettaway615]

Zoe Dailey Thank you!!! You just saved my life I use black Jamaican castor oil my hair also loves anything stimulating but that cool tingling and refreshing feeling I've gotta try peppermint mixed with castor oil😍😍😍🙌🙌🙌

[@chelseymichelle9286]

I never layer my edges and I remember in high school I got picked on for it..but I have the thickest edges ever! Don't lay them instead learn to embrace the natural curl pattern and you will start to prefer it!!

[@dkblck1958]

Chelsey Michelle : so true cuz 'baby hurr' is for BABIES!!!! Ijs

[@jneag3159]

I never lay my edges let them be wild!& fly!

[@the_modern_alchemist]

Zhane Washington same! Or I use cantu or something - all gel just leaves my hair flaking like it's Christmas morning lol

[@BimmerBabe]

i agree i like my hair being a little untamed. if thats what you wanna call it . i just dont care no mo

[@ayeedahn8564]

I don’t lay mine down either I’ve tried before but never liked it. My cousins always used to ask me why don’t I lay it down even my sisters would ask. I guess that’s why my edges are thick asf

[@stillstriving9183]

Wash and go gave me single strands knots like craaaazyyyy. I thought I was the only one, because I've never hear a youtuber admit to this. Thanks for being down to earth and truthful. (Sigh of relief)

[@blueangeloftheseas]

STILL STRIVING I washed, moisturised, plaited and unravelled for life and I think that's actually what has given me single strand knots. I don't have a lot of split ends but my hair curls upon intake, I ended up cutting alot. I think I'll cut it down even more and start over. I've been natural for most of my life so I should've known better

[@pri_shay_dior]

Exactly!!!!! I was like, "maybe I'm doing my wash and go's wrong then." Lol. As much as I would like to show off my coils, I always end up trimming 1/4 inch trying to get rid of knots.

[@BimmerBabe]

i did one wash and go at the beginning of my journey and said nope never again! why would anyone want this, im convinced all curly heads who do wash and do no matter texture are dealing with knots behind closed doors. i dont see how it works for anyone.

[@Daimond1baby]

hey here is a link to easy natural hair styles for short natural hair kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3XYhWeeoLiSl5I

[@silviasilver51]

STILL STRIVING I wair wash n gos and get single strand knots but I dont mind it, like at all??? Is that weird?

[@khaybae]

a hair mistake : getting box braids that were way too tight on my edges💀

[@SiMoneyy_]

HeyItsKhaylaa sis my edges are walkin out the door as i type this

[@vahyoung7588]

HeyItsKhaylaa trust been there. I'm building mine back now.

[@Lafilledlapluie]

[@realllyitskami9050]

Omg yess🤦🏾‍♀️

[@cynthiahall5530]

Same. Rn my edges gone tryna revive them

[@francesse9725]

Girl coconut oil doesn't work for me either, Olive oil is what my hair and skin loves

[@Hi_Tamera]

Francesse Lebrun I use coconut oil on my skin. Never tired olive oil before. May give it a try one day lol

[@candypietravels]

Francesse Lebrun coconut oil dried my hair out 😯

[@francesse9725]

Satina Dempsey some coconut fanatics might not believe it, but it happens😐😐🙁😒

[@ForeverJaz26]

I'm gonna try olive oil!

[@francesse9725]

Any one who feels like an essential oil, (coconut oil) isn't working for them, should try other oils, just search up essential oils and you'll plenty of others. Try something new☺☺

[@twdjt6245]

One thing I noticed about all the 4c naturals I've seen here on KZbin that have gotten a lot of length is the vast majority are obviously FIT! Considering how much obesity plagues the black community, I don't think that is a coincidence. As someone who struggles with building healthy habits guys, I KNOW it's hard as hell, but if you're serious about growing your hair out as fast as possible, or are at a length plateau, try EATING RIGHT AND EXERCISE REGULARLY! (If you don't already). What I think happens a lot of times when we eat too much crap is that our bodies do not get enough nutrition, and proper nutrition is necessary for healthy hair growth. It IS possible to suffer from malnutrition when you eat a lot of crap and/or are overweight. They call them "empty calories" for a reason! Limit the amount of junk food and processed foods you consume, drink tons of water, and MOVE MORE. Not only will you look and feel better all around, but it WILL help your hair grow faster as well.

[@YashaD]

Jen Tuesday I'm noticing this more and more. When I was healthier my hair flourished.

[@twdjt6245]

Yasha NOYB exactly. Ive yet to see any naturals here on youtube i can recall that look unhealthy and still experience lots of hair length and health.

[@enkubella]

Olive oil works so well for me. If it weren't for olive oil I don't think i would have been able to grow my hair to mid back length. And you are soo right about coconut oil. It isn't all that.

[@iimarixx10]

Enku Bella rlly wow i love ur channel upload more!

[@ShadowStarlight]

Advocado oil here for me.

[@BabydollTanner223]

I've been natural for 5yrs and JUST RECENTLY in my journey came to the hard realization that I have not retained any and I mean ANY length is because your #2 & #9 . You were right on it girl!

[@ajanways8751]

Roselena Veragova exactly!!!

[@xyz_KrystalWallace_zyx]

You are a born trooper man. If I saw no length retention in atleast 3 yrs I would've given up, but its good you now know what not to do

[@saniahd7811]

OLIVE OIL GANG!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jess-ew3tm]

notice how when we were kids (those of us with long hair as kids) we never slept with a satin bonnet or scarf and our hair thrived :-/ I don't think a bonnet does anything really

[@pri_shay_dior]

Jessey Boe Right. Blue magic grease and all, my hair survived it as a kid.

[@xtelfolaj]

Jessey Boe or when they used to use the blowdryer with grease and no heat protectant and your hair will always coil back when it got wet.

[@sheambitious29lachelle17]

Very true

[@sheambitious29lachelle17]

@@pri_shay_dior that grease was bomb and keep in mind our hair didn’t have a lot of manipulation

[@blueismylove3128]

I had long hair and always slept with a scarf on. It was in my early teens I stopped caring and noticed so my more breakage and single strand knot. I remember doing a blowout and everyone asking me if I cut it. Wore my scarf/bonnet from then on I'll tell you what.

[@Damarcia12]

exactly!! single strand knots are annoying

[@EtherealVibe]

Ri's Journey I'm saying 😩. I use to snatch them ssk out of my hair 🙈 worst habit ever lol like if I feel them omg I pull them out 😅 I've mostly stopped doing that now though 😥

[@Damarcia12]

Yes me too! Lol

[@michelet3857]

Ri's Journey me three!! 😁😡

[@trinityasabea]

YES YES YES queen, you've saved many naturals hair. This video should go viral. I thought it was going to be the cliché list of 'use silk scarf/pillow, protective styling, do LOC etc lol .... But naawww you've blessed us with points that to me can make a huge different in our hair growth and health. Plus you kept it so REAL that some points are indeed hard. I don't know about others, but some KZbinrs make it look like they do everything right, making me feel like a natural hair criminal lol. New subbie

[@MaRyaYTOfficial]

Girls at my school always trying to slay their edges, I tell them it's. not the best idea, then I​ get shaded for not doing mine, but I'm the one who gonna have edges soo

[@jodiesimons3390]

this natural hair journey is all about making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. there's no perfect way to do this guys, its the same with every other journey we are on to reach a specific goal. stay safe out there though to all the natural queens ❤️.

[@alaunah412]

*You probably won't see this, but I hope you do* | I'm 13, and for a while now I've been feeling really insecure about my arms. I notice how confident and proud you are to be in your body ( with broady type - muscular arms ) I was just hoping you would make a video on how to be confident with musuclar arms . I will say Im confident in the rest of my body, *sorry im using confident so much lol* , And i've been watching your hair videos . love from boston xx

[@alaunah412]

I always hear I have the perfect body lol flat stomach, *toned arms* etc.. its really hard to accept though.. thanx alot though, being nice goes a long way and it means alot you took the time to tell me that ❤️

[@enkubella]

Girl your body is BEAUTIFUL. I'm not just saying that i mean it. I would do anything to have muscular arms and a toned body. You are blessed and embrace it!

[@blasianb8458]

Meep A Cake Same omfg! I used to be SO insecure about my broady shoulders until I discovered fitness models.

[@pammmeee9055]

Meep A Cake This might seem simple but.. do push-ups, even if you can only do 5, do 5 twice a day, work up to 20. my arms never looked better than when I did push-ups. not overly muscular but toned and cut-like and I would always get compliments. i stopped and now they are back to looking skinny, yuck.

[@ninagrace-lee8323]

Awww baby! I danced for years, and when I was growing up, people used to say I was manly. I had abs, muscular arms, strong thick legs from dance. I used to feel badly because I thought I wasn't girly enough, I was too manly." But the gag is, a lot of the boys making fun of me ended up having a huge crush on me before I left high school. They liked that I was in shape lol. Being fit and healthy is NORMAL and GOOD. Don't let anyone make you feel you aren't pretty or desirable because you don't have arm fat! The only way to get over it is by wearing sleeveless tops, crop tops, or whatever shows off your arms. I used to be nervous about wearing sleeveless shirts because I had broad shoulders, but I got over it over time. Just go for it! Get used to owning your body in this summer heat

[@Pancakejae]

my biggest mistakes was perming my hair after my mom cut my hair off. Right now this is actually my 3rd time transitioning but I'm dedicated this time!

[@alexishunt4336]

SammeriaJae I am going through the same thing.

[@ZayabelDraga13]

SammeriaJae SAAAAME!! Imma do dreds lmao and keep up forever

[@rosland6469]

Thank you!!!! This was real!! Most bloggers don’t include these mistakes and only stick to 3-5 mistakes but all 20 were the truth!

[@yvettethegreat14]

WHY IS THIS VIDEO SOOOOOOOOOO ACCURATE!!!!!!!!!

[@MichelleNgozi]

I HATE single strand knots..they just don't let me live, especially if I try to do a curly puff

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Right?!!!

[@adanne-vx2yn]

Omg preach!

[@56sweetpea]

As a 4b/4c girl I agreed with everything you said especially with allowing someone in your hair. I got a Dominican blowout and my 5 year/bra strap length hair was destroyed. I'm starting over and I'm going to be so good to my hair this time probably wear mini twist for a while now so it can moisturized and not manipulate it

[@leandriasp1870]

learning my porosity helped big time.

[@YashaD]

Leandria sp best comment. This changed my journey. My stylist would always use heat and suggest a steam treatment. I thought it was just something they did to everyone. People are always up selling. I wish my beauticians had taught me how to care for my hair at home. Now I know.

[@Nani.101]

coconut oil sits on top of my hair, but my hair LOVES Argan oil

[@Bahiya13]

You touched on so many great pointers. 14 and 20 is what I resonated with most!!

[@khaliyahliyah6444]

I don't even like my hair to be sleek and laid for some reason, including my edges. if I'm wearing a wig it's different though

[@blueangeloftheseas]

Khaliyah Taylor I couldn't get the edges obsession, logically speaking it will pull your hair too much

[@khaliyahliyah6444]

blueangeloftheseas right, I never really been obsessed with slicking ny edges because for one they never stay layed and I just a lot of built up so i just oil my edges and I'm good to go lol

[@desiree1k185]

Khaliyah Taylor I like to lay my edges bc my forehead is big lmao and it makes it look smaller plus it looks cute to me

I have 4b and my length is down to my lower back following the same regime. You should be one of the top hair bloggers for sure.

[@ChoclateGoddezz]

OMG! I am doing way too many things wrong. I play in my hair ALL THE TIME!!! The bonnet issue is so ME!!! And I wonder why my hair and ends look so ragged. Coconut oil and Macadamia nut oil doesn't work for me either. My hair gets dry and hard. This was a great video. Thanks girl!!

[@sensiblesocialite102]

You are so real and I love what you are saying. These are things we are thinking and doing but no one tells us it's not right. I thank you

[@patriciasalaam42]

Coconut oil does wonders for my skin but NOT my hair! My biggest mistakes were combing painfully through my hair with a regulation comb like my mom did when I was young (I lost soooo much hair) and right hairstyles and headwraps. (RIP my edges)

[@blueismylove3128]

Coconut oil not only makes my hair brittle, it makes my skin break out as well. Keep that stuff away from me.

[@starcutie286]

You're so right about the wash and go thing! I've completely stopped doing them.

[@kylalowery9057]

You look so pretty 😍😍

[@TheDivastarzs]

Finally I find a youtuber with the same curl pattern 😭

[@shaneikiyasteel7073]

Definitely need to get back to the basics of catering to my health over my length. Gotta get back to deep conditioning and get that trim 😢

Right! You're a completely different person. Everyone's hair is beautiful so take care of your hair and find the beauty in yours 🌸💕

[@EvaDWMediTele69]

Guuurrl this video was definitely meant to be. I'm just starting my journey and I'm ready to cry my eyes out. I've been in braids for so long I forgot I had type 4c hair. Delusional! I've watched so many videos over the years and learned a lot so I felt pretty comfortable coming out the hair closet (if you will 😁). But oooow chile, I've been telling myself how much I love myself and love my hair (to not give up) like every other hour! I really appreciate your honesty and sharing your journey. I just hope I'm not too old now to get my hair back popping! 😉 Thanks again and keep up the good work! Wish me luck, prayers, kum-by-ya and all that good stuff because I'm gonna need it! 😁

[@lmben]

yessss that coconut oil never work for me either. I went back to olive oil and my curls were moisturize and shiny.

[@iBOMBdotcom]

Wow! Never heard of the constant wash n go's being damaging & that's my main hairstyle! 🤔

[@napierre2525]

You're so honest about loving your hair!! Loveeee itt!!

[@RetrocenChic]

LOVE this. I have a pretty good and consistent regimen and I've learned my hair and learned to love my hair but there are certain hair mistakes I still make (doing my hair when I'm tired for one... GUUUUUURRRRRL!)

[@iamnyia8242]

thank you for this video yesss tell us the truth because I've been wondering what's wrong with my hair

[@chelseaj.1229]

Honestly, this video is sooo inspiring for me to keep on transitioning!!! You are so in love with your type 4 hair. And I'm learning to love mines.

[@felicia6127]

Yes, ma'am! I have definitely made a lot of these mistakes! Thanks for the video. And now, I will definitely start deep conditioning AFTER washing. 😉

[@tiarachiffon8131]

That top is bombbbbb !

[@Ms88keys1]

This is such a fantastic video. Every point is on point especially about health over length. My hair is better off straight because the knots are insane and most of my breakage is from ruffing through the the knots, so yes this is a great video.

[@MsCoco231]

I just want to say think you for introducing me to Teture ID! I ordered some from Sally's last week and it is great!!!!

[@lotusw2824]

I saw on another video that a baby bristle soft brush is really good for edges as well. Thanks for the tips!

[@jevanaalise]

I love how quick and to the point this video is

[@ciaras3170]

for the edges dont try to manipulate them just put like a wide headband try to find one with a silk inside cus thats best it will really help you leave them alone and not feel self-conscious about the way they look cus girl that was me too

[@DaijaaMarage]

Woooo lawd, my biggest mistake was doing wayyyyyyyy to many puffs when my hair wasn’t ready, I ended up breaking off my hairline & nape area 😭 and just went way downhill from there. I’m definitely in recovery mode now

[@virginiacharles437]

Im 3c 4a and girl there times when the 4 takes over! One of the problems i had was there weren't enough 3c videos for guidance! So i was following tips for 4c and couldn't understand why my hair was breaking off! Duh your hair isn't as coarse i said to myself. 3c tutorials don't style coarse enough so when i finally found combination videos i was able to take the best tips from each one now my hair is really stsrting to blossom and becoming more manageable. So i was feeling you when you said not to let the journey of influence my journey. Things happen in their own time and i truly love my hair now! 3yrs and counting. On the right path for 1+yrs. Keep on being real!

[@Kard9]

I think the thing with coconut oil is you've gotta mix it. I use coconut oil and shea butter, maybe a 1:2 ratio. That's how i finish up moisturizing. I personally feel like its just there to distribute the shea smoothly after you warm the mixture up. I barely use any other products in general.

[@YashaD]

Kard9 maybe that's why it works for me.. I have a mix with Shea butter and grape-seed oil

[@SimoneAndreunique]

Or jojoba oil !!!

[@micahharris5150]

Preach sista! That coconut oil did nothing for me! It took me some time too but I love my type 4 afro! Thank you for this video.

[@junesafford3744]

I am a 3. My hair is low porosity. I don't color, use heat or use brushes and combs. Unless I am doing a bun. My hair is collar bone length. I trim maybe once a year. I wrap my hair before going to bed. I use coconut oil as a prepoo that works wonders for me. I am trying to drink more water and started rice water rinses to get my hair to grow even longer. I will also start trimming my own ends when needed to encourage growth. Thanks for the information. Confirmation that I am doing everything I need to encourage growth. Now I have to practice patience.

[@honeybraswell625]

Love your hair and on screen personality. One of my mistakes was washing my hair too often/co-washing to often and thinking gel was the answer.

[@TheShahQueens]

Very true....for me, I have done/experienced all the above. I've been doing better. thanks for sharing.

[@IsimemeEdeko]

😘

[@laurapetersen3635]

Thank you, HalfAfrican Haute for your countdown list of do's and don'ts for our natural hair. I've also made the mistake of putting dye in my hair as soon as I saw the new growth. I have ""salt and pepper" hair and religiously had to cover that up, lol! Wondered why my hair wasn't growing after about 8-10 years (sounds like jail time) and cutting my hair short many times. I've also been creating diy mixtures using coconut oil and shea butter as a base again listening to "other people's" ideas. After all these years I realize that I have low porosity 3c/4a fine coiled natural hair. I can only use particular proteins that my hair can absorb. So I am starting over currently and have a newfound respect for what my hair needs and wants and using the right ingredients that will ensure healthy hair first then I will see some length. Your points were so spot on, I had to say to myself "thank you, Jesus!" someone understands. Keep up the great work and I'm a new subscriber!😁🤗

[@laurapetersen3635]

Sorry for the typo "HalfAfricanbeaute"!

[@ashleighbobo1474]

[@marlowepaxton1340]

that last point hit different, thank you

[@sarahroyer0914]

I am type 4 and I agree on everything your saying. Especially that denman brush issue!

[@kerasrc6230]

Thank you for sharing... *love* this video! I was guilty of SO many of those things in the earlier years of my natural existence. The biggest mistakes were heat (I flatironed aLOT) and not taking the time to learn/pamper my hair. Disagree about the Denman brush though - I LOVE that thing as it gives super-defined curls. I think persons make mistakes using it on dry hair - I only use it on damp to wet hair for FINAL detangling before twisting or for a wash n go. Happy to see a fellow type 4 sharing tips for gorgeous hair!

[@Gigi502.]

THE FLAT TWIST OUT IS GIVIN ME LIFEEE OML😩😍❣️

[@thirteennyree22]

lol... I made a makeshift satin pillow case by tying my satin scarf to my pillow case(on my pillow) with hairties. it worked tho.... 😜

[@YashaD]

TND JUST ME be creative girl. They do sale them at the dollar store though. Just fyi

[@daviahenry7391]

I've been trying to grow my hair out for three Yeats now and I'm literally stuck on the same short length so thanks love I'll definitely take your tips and put it into practice

[@LnP2day]

I typically do w-n-g's too and just realzd .. it might be ez but it's jacking my hair up. And I cut 2 sections of my hair doing "protective styling" w/crochet braids. Back to twists, wigs & buns. KISS theory for me from now on.

[@GeminiiBaby]

Yes #12...speak the truth👏🏾👏🏾 I tried coconut oil once and I knew it wasn’t for my hair so never again lol.

[@Brownmahfun]

My God!!!!, what can we do with out hair? I mean you can't wear it out, you can't wear it to done, you can't wear it back snugly, you can't brush it. When you do some things to it, it falls out, when you don't do things to it, it falls out. I mean are we just designed to not have hair at all, or what? Not trying to be mean.

[@Brownmahfun]

Exactly!!!

[@neya292]

Brownmahfun I feel you girl! I guess it is a balance. Just like too much of anything, is not good for you.

[@Brownmahfun]

Whits water, you are right, I guess that is a good way of thinking.

[@xtelfolaj]

I feel like that when people say type 4 can't be worn out all the time because it will tangle and break easily. But I love wearing my hair out what's the point of growing my hair just to put it in a protective style 24/7. I am determined to know how to wear my hair out and allow it to flourish also.

[@Brownmahfun]

When ever I see anyone with 4 type hair, I can't help but stare because it is soooooooooo BEAUTIFUL on anyone. And if I think it is beautiful, I can't imagine what everyone else is thinking too.

[@naomia472]

My hair was dryer than the Sahara desert 😂

Loveeee this video! & My hair also hates coconut hair. Still trying to find a oil my hair truly loves for moisture.

[@arayaheaven6165]

Heaven M. Chandler Argan oil is great if your hair is low porosity. Olive oil is great for high porosity hair :)

Avocado 🥑 oil is my holy grail

Coconut oil is really bad for my hair. It made my hair became dry and frizzy and that lead to breakage so I stopped using it. Now I'm using castor oil and I love the outcome of it😍😍😍😍

Coconut oil pulls the protein from the hair especially the organic unrefined coconut oil. Maybe good to reverse protein overlaod🤔 Peace blessings & 🖤💚💛

I’m so glad I found a type 4 chick with gorgeous hair!!! Thank you!

I freaking love you 😫😫😫😫❤️❤️, Like literally 15 out of 20 of the mistakes you made, I was making especially with the shrinkage and hair texture thing I was dealing with.

We love you sis you truly have helped me on some hard days but I love my hair

[@surVIVEr28]

WOW! I saw myself in a lot of these mistakes. I think the one that always stands out to me is letting someone else do your hair. I don't know, but it seemed to me that when my hands were in my hair, my hair thrived. When I let other people do my hair it was always cut. I even try going to a beautician with long hair. She still cut my hair short. I guess it just means that I really know what's best for me and my hair. Starting over right now. Not discouraged but this video couldn't have reached my attention at a better time. Thank you!

I did the opposite, I ignored protein and over moisturized my hair. Now I know how important it is to use both. This was such an eye opening video. Thank you.
