I loved when Henny did my hair. I have thin edges and she made my hair look like I had thick edges with just water and oil. She is awesome.

[@twapower]

I can't wait to check out their salon.

[@denyshadials5702]

A stylist basically told me I was boring cuz I didn’t want to talk to her 😂 like I see you every 3 months IF I’m not traveling, I don’t know you like that..

[@snoodysnoody8118]

Lol

[@SummiIce]

I missed me some Hennnnnny 😭 and Afrikan looking as handsome as ever. Love the glasses ❤️

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you!

[@icameisaws4829]

"I kill it with this natural ish" - Henny da Great

[@AugustLady77]

I enjoyed y’all 😭🤗... Henny spoke facts. Last year I got a sew-in (in Atlanta 👀) and she braided my foundation TOO TIGHT. I spoke up in the beginning but I guess by the time she made it towards the top of my head it got tighter. She then sewed the net and the weave tight. My head was POUNDING. She said yea that’s normal it’ll get better, it’ll loosen up. Never did. I was popping pills, couldn’t sleep. I rinsed my head a few days later and It was still extremely uncomfortable. It just wasn’t normal to be that tight. I took it down after 2 weeks. Discovered bald spots in various places of my head. Never again will I not speak up.

[@shaytaylormade5244]

I had same experience I spent 1,000 dollars on it and my hair shed broke off so so bad in Nashville tn

[@emeraldbeauty01]

My Empire Beauty School wasn’t such a great experience. There wasn’t much diversity either, especially where it was located. We did lots of curly perms and roller sets on 80 year old women who barely had any hair. 😭😂

[@mrsohjoe]

I miss going to stylists that don't require you to straighten your hair. I stay home and just twist up my own hair.

[@breanahanna]

I went to get a good trim and I ha(d)ve thick healthy hair. I was told they couldn’t do a good trim unless it was flat ironed for it to be even. Now I’m sitting here mad cause I have heat damage and I had not used heat in YEARS. I should have listened to my intuition. Thanks for this conversation, it’s appreciated. 😊

[@suckaducka8841]

That's EXACTLY how I feel about school. It's my priority and it conflicts with my creativity and passions.

[@dtallred1]

This was so informative and so much fun to watch.....Henny is a whole mood💕💕💕💕😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@SimplyKewi]

Your personalities compliment each other. Y’all are a great balance

[@lifepath6187]

I love when you 2 do streams together 😊you guys should do more it feels so natural,real,and uncut.

[@denyshadials5702]

I prefer blatant honesty too. Even when it comes to men, I’m always more attracted to the ones with no filter instead of the ones on their best behavior.

[@LorenzDominique]

Damn. I missed the entire live?! Wtf. No notifications at all.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Oh damn KZbin ain't fucking with y'all lol

[@KottonKandy]

Howdy 👋🏾 neighbor! I missed most of it too. I didn’t get a notification either. I’m watching now. The title should be, “When clout chasing goes wrong...”

[@speakingofmeesh]

Thank you Henny for the education overall. In particular about the history of black salons and barbers, I didn’t think of not having an appointment and people would just walk in and it’s a social thing.

[@kame.3634]

I'm older than most, so my experiences with salons are old school. I have heard some of the best tips from this stream. Honestly, this was fantastic and so true on so many levels. I appreciate both of you!

[@Bellissimma]

Salons used to hold you hostage FOREVER. Now, it's expected to be in and out in under 3 hours.

[@rosegold973]

Ooooweeeee shol did! Girl I remember having to clear my entire day when I got my hair done cuz it was EXPECTED to be waiting forever! I remember one time I sat in the bowl so long with my head wet that I literally snatched my cape off and LEFT 😭

[@speakingofmeesh]

Yessss to the MOUSSE!!! I use to go to African shops to get my hair braided and I was serious on not using moose on my braids. And they would look at my sometimes with a face. No ma’am...

[@zass9506]

My mommy and sister always braided my hair without blow drying; natural state, no product. As time moved on, we have seemed to break away from the original way of doing not only hair but other things as well. Loved the stream and discussion! Thanks for uploading to KZbin☺️

[@brownsugar15068]

I’m so glad this conversation took place because it was much needed and we also need to learn how to do our own hair and stop relying on stylist to care for out hair.

[@raynettewhitfield631]

Her energy is amazing!! 😍

[@LaZainabou]

Henny is making a "cowl". I love her work ethic and drive.

[@ItsKimberly89]

Yess Henny!!!!! Talk yo shit. “I do something amazing!”

[@bee_jojo8677]

My notification bell is on and I still missed the stream. There is something wrong with KZbin. I'm not okay 😔 😔. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤❤

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Outside of copyright, that's the one major gripe that I got about KZbin...

[@iateyursandwiches]

I planned to go to a deva curl based salon for a cut and color and I'm honestly fed up. They want you to come in with your hair without product(outside a bit of rinse out conditioner left in) but mostly dry and detangled(or you will be charged extra), yet unmanipulated with braids or twist that can alter your curl pattern. Girl...for type 4 hair, that's pretty difficult to do! That's how you know these devacurl salons aren't really for us. I had to cancel honestly. Shouldn't your hair be semi dirty when you color anyway? I mean, I get you don't want a bunch of product build up before coloring but cmon. They recommend washing the hair a day/night before to easily fulfill this. There is no way I can wash my fine 4c hair a day before a salon visit and keep my hair dry and detangled without product and braids/ twists.

[@raquellalisa7296]

I went to get my big chop at a Deva cut salon. I did what they recommended, my hair looked like a block lol (because I slept with a bonnet) Chile I looked so crazy with them straggly ends. I just wanted my hair cut decent for my BC 💁🏾‍♀️ still had to get rid of some straight ends off in the days following though

[@iateyursandwiches]

@@raquellalisa7296 yeah deva cuts aren't horrible. I got my tapered cut there. However, the prep they need you to do beforehand, especially with how much they charge for a cut, is ridiculous and stressful. In variably, they will have to detangle unless you wash your hair hours before which is more$. I expect lower prices too if I basically have to do most of the work and all you do is slap on cowash and cream in my hair; at the very least, don't charge people for their hair not being detangled( not matted obviously).

[@jazzyja9090]

I'm catching up on videos. This was a very good live hate I missed it. Y'all was on point with so many things. That whole braiding on dirty blow dried hair never made sense to me. My momma used to do our hair at home and always washed then braided and didn't need the hair straighten or gel. A lot of these new age practices is why so many are suffering from hair damage. You and Henny right some people want natural hair but not the look. I've seen so many now with locs but putting braids,twist, wigs, etc. over them saying they waiting for their locs to get long. Like it just doesn't make sense. Great video! You guys could definitely do a podcast

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you!

[@samm7530]

I learned many year's ago how to line my own neck line for the very reason you guy's stated. I am and will be natural 4ever and I love, love my all natural hair. Thanks bunches. 3 time's a year I go to supposedly black female beauty school the only thing for is no I don't need heat 🙂 Growing my hair tail bone length or 26 inches almost there. 👍🏼👍🏼 I wash my hair with sulfur soap just read about all the shampoo class action lawsuits must read.

[@SimplyKewi]

I love the fact that his is straight up...love her personality. I love both of you.

[@speakingofmeesh]

Yesssss!!! I’m here for this! I hope y’all continue these conversations on here. I always wanted Henny’s opinion on hair and cosmetology school. Do y’all regret going to that beauty school?

[@moi2995]

I knew I should have come back in after Faye's stream. Saw you on there and had a feeling you would come on too.

[@I_am_Musiq94]

Most of what Henny said is the reason why I don't go to salons anymore. I would let her and Nirada do my hair based on there transparency alone and their work speaks for itself. I actually may have to make a trip to get my hair done for my brothers wedding photos cause I can't let just anyone in my head.

[@mrsohjoe]

Let's talk about it. Yall need a podcast or something foreal.

[@denyshadials5702]

As someone with an hour commute one way, I support that 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@caylia9989]

Amazing I was shocked when i saw people using Gel and blowing hair out to braid

[@cur_marie8712]

I need Hennny back on a Q&A

[@mrsohjoe]

You guys are killing it!

[@adwoamk8918]

Weave on a 3 Yr old, why?

[@denyshadials5702]

I’ve had tons of preschoolers with waist length extensions and disappearing edges...ma’am...what is this for?...what are we trying to accomplish here?...

[@Keishabarnett69]

Not nosy, just paying attention 👁👄👁 people love to talk to me. It can be exhausting honestly.

[@CDub-df2us]

People are scared because people don’t have relationships with their stylists because we chair hop so much, for what ever the reason is. If we had a relationship with our stylists it would be easier to speak up lol

[@AfrikanHairGod]

The problem is that people have been scarred and traumatized from past experiences with hair stylists so it takes a lot for them to put so much trust in a new stylist. Plus there is a disconnect between a lot of hair stylists when it comes to clients and their natural hair. Many people feel like most stylists are not properly educated on how to care for natural hair.

[@imaniwimbish-gay4921]

I love y’all both! Can henny teach me how to fight 😂😂😂

[@melw8319]

Wow!!! I thought I was the only one that missed the live!!! No notifications!!!🙄

[@missteewon1-of-152]

When Henny said Stupid is making so much money (re: Gorilla Glue Girl: GGG) I said yes my NY sister come thru in calling out BS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@mrsohjoe]

He said who's shooting loool.

[@mrsohjoe]

I wish I could duplicate you both and place you in MN.

[@tishworld1569]

Felt that in my soul about baby girl hair...... Definitely would MollyWapped messing with mines period

[@shaytaylormade5244]

Ooh I love y’all energy I want to get my hair done by y’all but I’m all the way in TN once I get my money together I will get some locs from yall

[@Jaystarrbright]

This was a great conversation!

[@Frangipani13]

Not a BUFFON!! 😭🤣🤣😭 I haven't heard that word in a minute 😂

[@shaunals4270]

Damn I missed this live! I didn’t get a notification! 😢

[@TSHELE2]

The ending /outro😂😂😂

[@JermaineAuNatural]

I sooo enjoyed Henny!

[@Chels924]

The gorilla glue girl might actually bald for life. If the glue seeped into her pores she might have eliminated her chance to even grow hair anymore smh.

[@diamondpearl1204]

Is crocheting and knitting in one I do it myself

[@vmarsfiles]

I like to support my black stylists but the last few times they have done me wrong. I schedule appointments and they double book and make me reschedule my appointment. Or you ask them not to braid your edges tight AF and they get mad and braid it tight anyway...like what is that??? Im about to give up!

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Leave a honest review and read reviews before you go to help reduce the chances of that happening. Everyone loves to complain after the fact but then that's as far as it goes. We all have to do our part so that the businesses and owners that deserve our money are actually getting it.

[@Cashious]

Henny slays life 🙌🏽😂

[@09mjeternity]

What’s Hennys channel?

[@SimplyKewi]

THat is why I don't go to salons because they want you there all day.

[@lovelife8968]

It's like knitting not crochet.

[@b4glady]

I love henny's energy
