2025 curly hair goals, life updates + how I plan for the new year

[@ilanaveus2372]

Welcome back girl we missed you here 🥰

[@angeldoc0682]

I got my hair blown out for the first time in 5 years after getting curly cuts for 4.5 years. My hair is similar to type and length as yours. My ends are so much better and I’m retaining even more length-it’s now almost waist length. I think your hair is great. Don’t change it. I would keep the blown out trims and when you get tired of it do one curly cut in between for the layers you may want.

[@sandee1567]

No layers! This is the best your hair has looked since your KZbin inception. No color. Your original color is beautiful!

[@swhite7289]

IMHO No layers. It is NOT flat. It looks very neat and healthy. Please the layers are so regular. It's much more difficult to achieve one length with fullness. If anything, a little face framing, but please Lord no layers. I also loveee it dark. The darker it is, the healthier it looks. :) Less is more. MY two cents...

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@swhite7289 you know what… hell yea! lol thank you! I feel like this is what I needed to hear 😬♥️

[@kianamoore5390]

I agree! I had layers and it took so long to grow out and the looked like shelves with my curly hair 😂 one length gives you natural fullness, more protection for the ends, and gives you more weight (if you like a little hang time). I will never get layers again

[@BreatheTV23]

Layering helps add volume for finer and more limp strands. From a fine haired type 4's perspective, the uniformity plus the density of your hair is a major Felx! A few face framing layers could definitely elevate the beautiful shape you already have, but its ultimately up to you. Dark curls always do it for me, but you have a face that can pull off whatever curly cut/color you choose!😊🫶🏾

[@AlyssaN.N]

Your hair is perfect! Your length is my goal! I also love hair that is mostly one length so your hair is perfect as is in my eyes. ☺️❣️

[@shaepoppinkurlzdc1862]

My hair goals consist of taking it back to the basics for growth. For me that means going back to pre-poos, regular low maintence styling, learning to properly defuse my hair. Sidenote- I love your shape face framing would be extra cute!

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@shaepoppinkurlzdc1862 love these goals!! 👏🏾

[@rebella5769]

I'm so happy you're back. Ohhhh please, share what you think caused so much of your hair growth. Anything in particular such as hair vitamins, rosemary oil or anything like that..I badly want more thickness, length, etc. Thank you bunches.

[@mara9905]

I vote a little face framing in the front

[@blackfairy2588]

Welcome Back, I'm growing it out and wanting to grow out the layers since it's choppy. I also want to color it as well.😊

[@StarrMarieRPG]

Welcome back! You’ve been missed!

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@StarrMarieRPG I really missed YALLLL ♥️

[@LaKayla.Janell]

Maybe start with light layers to see if that gives you more volume at the top. Love seeing you back!

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@LaKayla.Janell thank youuu feels good to be back! 🥰

[@memorizedvisions]

Maybe try a wash n go that focuses more on volume than definition for a bit before going to a layer cut. I personally think long layers would work well for you because of your facial structure. I'm currently not happy with my hair realizing that a certain "no oils" regime ruined my hair (breakage galore) that left me at the same length for over 2 years. So I'm in a TLC phase.

[@avasd59]

Wow. I can't believe so many people are experiencing breakage because of that. For me personally it is the best thing I've done for my hair and it's been 5 years since I've left the oils and butters alone. I wear gel only wash and go's exclusively too. I hope you'll achieve your goals soon! Don't forget to trim your hair regularly 🙏🏽

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@memorizedvisions yesss I think i’ll experiment with that for now! I just need to find a wash for more volume but that doesn’t make my wash & go last any less 🤔

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@memorizedvisions alsooo sorry to hear about your breakage! 😩 hoping your hair bounces back better than ever real soon

[@ItsCaseyJoe]

Welcome back sister!!! Okay let me tune in

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@ItsCaseyJoe thank you sisterrrrr! 🥰

[@jasminesdr35]

Use Bobby pins on if you want the layered look!

[@blackfairy2588]

Yes, to the home updates.

[@gaby2230-e6j]

Happy that your back ❤❤❤

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@gaby2230-e6j happy to be back! 🥹♥️

[@danalemelle9184]

Any wedding updates ?

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@danalemelle9184 loool I need to film a q&a to address this 😅

[@triscachappell7325]

So happy you are back! I vote face framing layers, but you can rock anything. I am curious of what you think of bonding products.

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@triscachappell7325 I like bonding products! I don’t use them often but every once in a while I do and my hair seems to enjoy it. I def think it’s important not to over do it with them though

[@shari-leedavis1576]

I love the long length, a lil face framing would be just right!

[@ThrivewithJesus]

Missed you!!

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@ThrivewithJesus missed you MORE!

[@NIJEECAPRICORN23]

I'm planning to chop all these thinning ends off and start over. My hair goals is to grow it back down my mid-back then waist length.

[@user-nn9bk4ur3x]

Hi. New to your channel and you look beautiful. Your hair looks amazing. I love layers, because i love volume on top . If i don’t layer my hair looks like an umbrella and it doesn’t suit my face. If you want to try something different, my suggestion is to do a bit of face framing. You don’t need it because your hair loos awesome. If after framing you aren’t completely happy and want to change further then you could layer, Baby steps. 😊 My goal is to grow and eventually get rid of damaged ends. Trying to take it easy. Last year started transitioning to natural and got multiple hair cuts.

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@user-nn9bk4ur3x WELCOME!! 🥰 and thank you for the suggestions. here’s to health hair all 2025!

[@annakat2458]

What did you use for this wash and go!! So gorgeous!

[@briggettmumphrey3226]

Please do a Q and A

[@Katalina_Eve]

keep long layers, add face framing layers

[@Seeker2524]

No layers. Keep the length and when its is really long you will look stunning.

[@annieroberts212]

We’ll see. 😊

[@ThrivewithJesus]

I love as is , you can do the bangs ! But it does not look flat because you have thick hair

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

@@ThrivewithJesus okay period! I was worried it was looking flat fr 😭

[@keishacameron9819]

I Love your hair. No layers

[@kayirons3510]

growing my hair this year, being more consistent with low manipulative styles. I need to embrace my curls past day 2 hair instead of throwing it into a bun lol

[@vennessapleas8455]

Hi Alyssa, I have been natural for 5 years April 1 and my hair is the same length. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Well I do need a trim bad. I wish we had a natural hair stylist here where I live.

[@VerdianAuguste]

Trim the ends. use the search and destroy method for 2 weeks to make sure you get the splits ends throughout the hair then use the banding method to stretch out the hair. Cute the ends in the bands to get the perfect ends and to see the thinning

[@rhondadenis3469]

No layers your hair looks amazing. Maybe face framing. Pick for volume. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

[@teneshabailey9476]

Face framing only please ❤

[@janayashley]

Since I have gone curly in 2019 my hair has not grown. I am concerned that I am missing a step. This year is all about growth

[@myrnaj4502]

❤❤❤

[@briggettmumphrey3226]

❤❤❤❤always gorgeous are you already married? I am just curious I mean no offense

[@yhineidy131]

I have been wondering that even since I watched a video from Kimberly Cherrell, where she called George her husband.

[@briggettmumphrey3226]

Are you secretly married? I mean no offense seriously

[@oahmed2819]

Keep your hair but maybe cut some bangs cause your hair looks great

[@tmt436]

2025 is breakage control and growth and thickness.

[@briggettmumphrey3226]

Please don’t cut it it’s very pretty
