This is such an important video. This consultation was collaborative, educational and considerate of her expectations. Your thorough and honest analysis of the clients hair may ultimately guide them to enjoying their hair in its natural state. I hope they return so we can see the progress in a year.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you so much!

[@sabrinacambridge3327]

This video is the difference between going to a hair care specialist versus a stylist. He is caring for the health of her hair, and the length will follow. Now, stylists just want to achieve a look and make your hair easy. I'll take this type of hair care everytime.

[@SentryWaters-z6h]

​@@AfrikanHairGodi also loved yr description of our hair....please can you make a video with "Volume equates to length" on the thumbnail and then maybe we'll see people stop straining to hold their hair as taught as possibe down their back to show how long it is lol😂. I love yr videos and education and all the laughs in between, loved the tip about the REASON why we should infuse the moisture by styling/setting hair damp to keep the style longer.....i forgot i used to do this🫢 Also can you repeat the mesg of working with the hair and not against it! Great video💫💯

I was actually mind blown 🤯when he said that and it makes sense!

[@jenniferclayborne365]

I like that you gave her options and that you showed her where the problems are on the hair strand. I'm glad she decided to go for the full cut. I would have made that choice and have made that choice in the past knowing my hair would grow back. What appears to be a setback is really a set-up for success going forward, because you're working with a healthy head of hair now. You're very professional and very knowledgeable. Great work.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you. I find that most people are comfortable taking off what needs to go when they have a clear end goal with getting their hair back on track. Clients get mad with stylists when they take that choice away from them and just hack with no conversation or permission.

[@MsGg90]

This consultation was sooo good! I really liked that you asked her questions about her and how she wears her hair. I also liked that you gave options and was honest about her having to adjust to the change of how to care for her hair to meet her goals. So good! One day I'm gonna sit in your chair man

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you! I hope she can be consistent so we can watch her reach get hair goals!

[@vetgirl71]

Best hair consultation I ever saw in two decades! Back in the day the hair dresser would ask questions concerning your hair & your hair maintenance routine. They would examine your hair condition and give yoh options for improving your hair & tell you what products to use to achieve better results. Those type of hairstylist are a dime a dozen today & very rare. Today most of these so called hair stylists are on concerned about making money & don’t care about their clients! Then also don’t have good customer service skills & aren’t professional. Especially in the black community (including cArribean, African hair stylists). Thank goodness for KZbin tutorials with great professionals like you who is honest & has integrity! I really enjoyed getting feedback from this video, very helpful for me & my daughter who wears our hair natural. Thank you sir, many blessings for your talent and gift! God bless. 😊❤️🙏🏾

The style is so cute. I hope we get to see her hair grow out and the results.

[@manestreambeauty]

I'm glad you made this video. It must be really disappointing to go to a hairstylist, follow their recommendations and still have damaged hair. While there are many competent hairstylists, many are not skilled in natural hair care and styling. It's rare to get full service in one salon. All it takes is one mishap or bad styling service to undo years of healthy hair practice.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

What's worse is that the stylist took no accountability for where her was. She essentially tried to blame her for all her hair damage

[@marleyhill34]

​​@@AfrikanHairGodYup my hair is easily damaged and I had to stop going to black salons where the stylists would blame me.. I go to Aveda (white majority clients) and my stylist is Polynesian with curly hair. My trichologists are black and female and they use leave in conditioner and deep conditioner and refuse wash and goes. 😅🙈🤣😂

[@manestreambeauty]

@@AfrikanHairGod That's awful. Pay your hard earned money for a service, receive bad work AND be blamed for it. Some people are putting themselves out of business. Narada, do you think stylists know what split ends look like on natural hair?

The length she left with was awesome! I’m glad she decided to let you cut 6in off instead of having to come back again.

[@dwise2165]

Yes. I think it’s heat and she was combing her crown hair too aggressively and it led to thinning over time.

[@aneetrafrance8339]

I had a stylist cut an inch off of my hair because I came in to get a trim after 3 months instead of the 2 months she recommended.. she told me I had split ends and that they were traveling up the hair shaft but she never fully emphasized if more needed to be cut than that initial 1in? She also never discussed with me how much was being cut or anything about the split ends till after she was done cutting. I’m really concerned about the health of my hair, but I’m unsure of what to do.

[@Oyinscorner]

I have a question regarding heat, I recently started wearing my hair in wash n gos, I use a blowdryer do dry my hair( I don’t have the diffuser attachment) sometimes I stretch my hair with the blowdryer. Is that too much heat? I ask because I recently blowdried my hair and say a mid-shaft split.

Where he stopped at is exactly where I can see the hair looks frayed. To me it looks like it's right at or slightly above the chin. I'd chop it all at once but I don't care much for length when it comes to health.

[@kam1776]

I would love to have you do my hair!! May I ask would you be open to doing box braids on natural hair like no hair added? My hair is on the fine side and adding hair is just too heavy for my hair. The times I’ve gotten braids my scalp always bleeds and scabs in some places.

My braiders don’t even braid tight it’s just that weave. My hair hatessssss it.

​@kam1776 my hair is like that as well. The older I get, the less I can tolerate any amount of tension. Kinky twists are literally the only style my scalp and strands will tolerate 😅.

[@peachescream8650]

When you say no heat does that mean she shouldn’t blow dry or just flat iron?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Both. No Heat at all that's why her hair is splitting so much

[@ljay4525]

At what age do you accept clients?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

13 and up

[@kikih.5903]

Another Random question fm Kiki-can split ends be cut using the same technique you use to assess damage (I.e. between the index and middle finger)?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

You can cut it that way but it's not as decisive as a cut. That would be considered as more dusting than anythingIt's more haphazardly cutting into flyaways and you could be cutting away more healthy hair than splits. If split ends are prevalent, it's a sign that the hair itself is already compromised with little hope of repair. If it's damaged enough to split that means that the strand has been tearing internally as well

[@kikih.5903]

Makes sense. The more you know 🌈😊

[@testonly9233]

Hey I have a question, I just got a trim recently and the stylist insisted that she needed to flat iron my hair in order for me to get the best trim. Is that true? Or is just blow dried hair able to receive a quality trim. I hadn't got my hair trimmed prior in 6 months and she would like me to come back every three months for a trim. I do not want her to silk press my hair every time and thought a blow and go should work whenever I need a trim. Thank you.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Maybe she only knows how to see the damage on flat ironed hair. As you can see, I never need to silk press to see damage or get an accurate cut. A blowout would be sufficient but everyone has their way of going about doing hair.

[@beanything7381]

Hey, I have a questions that’s so mind boggling to me. I don’t know where to find answers yet. The longer my hairs grows the thinner the ends get. So I’ll keep cutting it until it’s “thick again” and then it’ll grow out long again yet the ends will get thin again. So, I realized I’m going into a cycle. I don’t know what’s causing it. I have a hair routine that keeps my hair growing fast, but if I would go to a hair stylist they’ll probably just cut it. It don’t seem like split ends. Any thoughts without seeing what it looks like? 😮‍💨

Idk it could be how you are cutting or it could be how your hair grows, or you have split ends/damage that aren't getting addressed.

I got into a cycle of growing, cutting, growing, cutting constantly until I realized this is just how my hair grows.
