Analyzing a Stylist's Bad Haircut | Why Her Clients Have THINNING but NO SPLIT ENDS

[@lilmommaobama]

Wow @AfrikanHairGod she was my stylist when I first relocated. I was relaxed at the time. She put a phyto relaxer on my shoulder length hair and it didn’t take so this lady told me I needed a full haircut since it didn’t take the relaxer that meant my hair was too damaged. I was only 20 and didn’t know better so I agreed and she gave me a short Halle Berry pixie cut. I continued to go to her for about a year and each time my hair grew, she recommended a trim. I stopped going to her and went natural. I am glad you’re highlighting her work tho, it’s been a long time coming

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Oh wow.... Thank you for sharing that with us. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your terrible experience.... Professionals need to be held accountable and I intend to continue to do so. ❤️🙏❤️

Do you do virtual consultations? I’m 4c, I live in Atlanta and I’m trying to learn how to take care of my own hair. The girl won’t even TOUCH my hair without me trying it with heat first. There’s gotta be another way 😭😭🥰 thank you!

[@shezalright4217]

⁠@@FairlyWellDarlingI’m wondering this too. I’m too far from his shop and my car is too old to drive there, but I’d love to do a virtual consultation. I’ll pay just to learn more about what products and techniques I can use on my hair and I don’t trust anyone else in my state 😭😭

[@texasgirl8802]

I went to this stylists last year for a curly cut and explained that I wanted to keep my bra strap length. Well by the time she was done my hair was shoulder length and knew I made a major mistake. I will never go to her again. Afterwards I realized that a curly cut is not for me. The ends looked scraggly.😢

[@88pynogrl]

Seems like so many stylists have a generic approach to hair- 1 dimensional. What I like about AfrikanHairGod is that he is analytical, he literally diagnosis and recommends a strategy.

[@KAM-rl6tz]

Without boring everyone with the full details, I had my hair trimmed every 3 months for a year and I STILL had split ends every 3 months, losing length with each trim. I gave up! I will live with my split ends. I am at peace with it.

[@Spokentruths725]

How will you retain length with the split ends? Could it be something else that was still causing you to not retain length?

[@KAM-rl6tz]

@@Spokentruths725 Fair question. I’ve given up on length. I have shears at home; and I trim what I can. I just style and maintain the hair on my head as best as I can.

[@KaiiandSmileyy]

How moisturized is your hair? Mine definitely needs a cut but its mostly due to a lack of proper care/moisturization and until I get better with the routine, imma be in the snipping cycle

[@ZandraJ]

This is why I trim my hair on my own the best I can. I’m afraid to go back to the salon. I wish there was a Narada in every state.

[@denyshadials5702]

If only.

[@rockinwiththetruth2057]

I miss my mom 😢 she was my split ends cutter. I don't trust anyone else, but Narada 👍🏾wish I lived in Georgia or close

[@plee6223]

I agree with you.

[@cess268]

Cosmetology school is in the business of training "Stylist" in a " one- size fits- all" type manner. As you stated they aren't teaching " haircare". Textured hair requires the haircare aspect to be healthy. And it doesn't fall under a one- size -fits all category. A lot of these stylists lack the knowledge it takes to maintain HEALTHY textured hair, and sadly choose not to educate themselves. Unfortunately we, as paying clients suffer in the long run. The issue is too many Stylists, that aren't Hair Care Professionals.

[@charlielove2942]

She just played in this woman head. This is why I’m afraid to sit in somebody’s chair now. I’m still recovering from 9 months of “curly cuts” & EXPENSIVE drying products….chilllle

[@wildnaturalista]

An actual example of scissor happy 😂

[@T-Laydie]

I think a lot of stylists feel like it's a slow and boring day if they didn't get to use their scissors.

[@rachelk4914]

Years ago I had a stylist start trimming without permission after I told her I was growing my hair out talking about she wanted to test out her new shears😡 That was my last appointment with her

[@T-Laydie]

@@rachelk4914 😱 The brazen audacity! I'm sorry that happened to you.😞 This is why so many of us don't even want anyone to touch our hair. 😤

[@MarciaRain]

I’m done going to my stylist. Last Friday she kept pressuring me to get a trim, when I tell you that lady chopped all my hair off…Which is fine, it’ll grow back but I am d o n e with salons

[@Luckimee]

Ive found splits up the shaft not necessarily on the ends, a few here and there but a typical trim isnt going to help that. You have to go through many strands individually

[@Luckimee]

2 inches takes 6 months to grow back. Ridiculous. We ARE growing hair and its getting chopped off

[@yourfavpersuasion9385]

thats exactly what is happening to me. but it has been going on for 5 years

[@Itsroccib]

Yea, “trim” nowadays to stylists means cut off 8 inches of hair. I’ll NEVER go back as long as I live 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@DatGirlPorsha05]

4 months if your hair grows the average of .5in per month

[@cpprclrd8790]

0.5 inch - 1 month 1 inch = 2 months 2 inches = 4 months 3 inches = 6 months 4 inches = 8 months 5 inches = 10 months 6 inches = 12 months ( a year) 7 inches = 14 months 8 inches = 16 months 9 inches = 18 months 10 inches = 20 months 11 inches = 22 months 12 inches = 24 months ( 2 years)

I am sooooooo glad someone is speaking out about these hair stylist because they have gone tooooooo damn far. I always let everyone know if who and where someone jacked me up.

[@brittanywilliams8653]

Hands down, one of the best educational videos on KZbin. If you hadn't pointed this out, I would have thought the stylist did a great job as I didn't know any better. This is definitely eye-opening.

[@88pynogrl]

I’m a white woman, and because of you and watching your channel, I now only get my hair trimmed every six months. I do not have a lot of split ends, yet my “stylist” recommended I get my hair trimmed every two months. It is such a scam- I check my ends and I just don’t need trims that often. PS I don’t know why what you said caused that hairstylist to melt down. You just commented on what you saw🤯🤯🤯🤯

I stopped going to the shop for years !!! It never failed my hair trim would be a 3 inch cut..so i started cutting my own hair..the dye would be messed up sooo i stared dying my own hair...my braids would be in for less than a week and would slip out soo i learned to do my own braids on top of all that the price kept going up for everything.

Thank you for your deep dive on this. Literally watching in the salon

[@keishalebray1996]

[@rockinwiththetruth2057]

Narada, you are a professional hairstyle, and my sisters should be taking pointers from you 😬 I've been natural for over 20 years and haven't been in a salon since the 90s. Some of these stylists don't have a clue 🤷🏾‍♀️ imo and I'm still coming to see you.

[@gahsera4876]

Omg, I litterally was told by my stylist that the uneven means its split... this totally blew my mind!

[@Pulapaws]

Blows mines too because not even your finger nails grow even.

[@kezzykizzy5386]

I have a gollum head after years of inexperienced self styling but I took my 3 strands and twisted them into a 2 stand twist and luckily there's no breakage and the integrity is throughout the shafts. I got a few fine healthy hairs😅😊 I learned so much from dipping in and out of your videos ❤

[@MyaBey]

You a trip😂 and I love how you detailed piece by piece with supportive background evidence

[@TriinaG]

I have not been to hair salon for a cut since I was a child. 20 plus years later.. I'm glad I haven't. This is crazy. Cutting so much hair off and I bet the client didn't say that was ok

[@_.A..J._0708]

I would go to the stylists that my mom trusted and when they retired.....I stopped going to salons. My last visit was in the spring of 2016.

[@tmariek2]

I remember going for a trim and and the stylist said she couldn’t show much how much she is cutting because she didn’t know how.

[@Heiresstiara_]

Could you do video for us that want to trim our own ends. I’m starting over and would love to know how to cut my own hair.

[@iateyursandwiches]

29:34 I feel attacked 😢 I was just asking how to tell the difference more so at the mid shaft. Looking at the thining, it seemed more concentrated at a point slightly below where you cut. Because I don't know better, I would have assumed the place the cut was at the point around the last 1/3 of the twist. thanks for explaining it.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

I wasn't referring to you i was referring to the goofy's on lipstick alley that had so much to say about me cutting so much of my clients hair.

[@MizzAnto123]

I remember cutting my own hair whilst taking down some crochet braids Honestly, it's how I became bestfriends with glue less and unattached styles; I still hate scissors I was taking down my cornrow braids and cutting the crochets out simultaneously... big mistake.

[@crystaljackson240]

Will u please give ur explanation on fly aways? Does a broken strand that is not split continue to grow from where it broke off? ( that's if the broken hair is from mechanical damage?) P.ease help!

[@Tashiannf]

[@iateyursandwiches]

I thought breakage prevents you from retaining length, at least for kinky hair because the hair just keeps getting shorter at the ends despite growing at the scalp? Well at least if it's really bad.

[@itzTeTe]

Is it me or are a lot of these stylists he features in his videos a bit sexist towards him? Like they get mad ignore what he’s saying to them and blocks… its really weird… it’s like they are not showing him the same amount of respect that they would give to female stylist.. Am I reaching? Their behavior when he tries to correct them is so off to me…

[@baddabing-badaboom]

In a sense, I can see that. I think it more that they have the personal experience of their own hair everyday, so it is difficult to hear someone say they are doing things wrong? I don't know of that makes sense, but I also get defensive due to that. And in all fairness, the language he often uses toward these women has been considered sexist in the past. Not to say that it should be tit for tat but there is a dynamic here, for sure.

[@plee6223]

I think this stylist’s client has extensions. I swear I see tape near the client’s roots. So what was really being cut.

[@fin4008]

I’m so glad I watched this I’ve been using the deeperthanhair video to trim my own bra strap length hair & I think I might’ve been hacking my ish off lmao
