Beyonce has been silent for so long, only ever pushing product she wants to sell, that she doesnt really have a strong personal brand (except the mysterious woman). So when she wants to sell something, it doesn't work well because its like "who are you to try to sell us something, pick up a mic and sing lady". She's been too quiet and now probably regrets not being able to hit milestones when selling products just like Rihanna has been able to do because Rihanna's personality has ALWAYS shone through, making her relatable

[@marshajean-mary2984]

But I think that what has removed Beyonce’s relatability is that she doesn’t do interviews like she used to. She makes art but doesn’t speak on it anymore. Years of doing that created a chasm between herself and the people, and the goddess persona, and the elusiveness has done this. Rihanna may not have an album but she’s always seen and heard. 🤷🏾‍♀️

To be honest, I don’t use hair care products. I do not put anything in my hair that you cannot eat (besides shampoo and conditioner which I believe is called Natures Own, but I put some peppermint and tea tree oil in it). I use rice water for protein treatments after taking out my braids. I use onion juice for my scalp if it is too oily, yet itches. I use ACV as a rinse in between washes due to having high porosity hair. And I use the LOC method using water, sunflower or coconut oil, then coating my strands with Shea or mango butter. And yes, my 4c hair goes pass my shoulders and shoulder blades. 😊

I love using natural too.. it could be a little effort to prep, but real aloe Vera gel from the plant or cactus works tremendously for conditioner along with fenugreek, black tea rinse, avocado + egg deep conditioner.

@meshellw3370 Please stop spreading lies like that. If you have hair that grows, you have hair that can see length.

With the adequate care and knowledge, your hair will be long and healthy. Just look at black women with locs who have hair past their waistlines. It’s not rocket science.

Either way I see some dark chocolate black women with long and healthy beautiful hair why? Cause they treat their hair correctly, it’s all about hydration, length retention and not being rough with it.

All I see is a critique on Beyonce while hyping up Fenty when she has a colorist baby daddy selling her lip gloss and calls her primary demographic too dark to wear red lipstick. Beyonce didn't want to use her hair to sell the product initially. The line's protein treatment and hair mask were recently awarded over other higher-end salon brands where no one asks to see those owner's hair texture. She has a Cecred wash day campaign where multiple women of all races and textures have been sharing their experiences. That was her goal with the advertisement. To show what Cecred did for her hair over the last 6 years of development. This is after decades of being told she was hiding under wigs and shouldn't be able to sell haircare products.

Beyonce is a day late & a dollar short. As of now, most black women online, especially Gen Z, have divested from a lot of natural hair products & choosing to silk press/be str8 naturals/heat trained/gone back to a relaxer. Corporate black owned businesses are taking a huge hit bc black women are shopping across the ethnic haircare line. Buying Olaplex, K-18, Kbeauty, Dyson blowdryers etc. So not only are we dating out & being hypergamous, but we are shopping out & being hair hypergamous too! We are moving away from the KZbin University hair advice & embracing licensed cosmetologists again. I got my silk press & it told me everything I needed to know! Anywho, I've gone back to using silicone & sulfates bc the natural hair guru products didn't live up to the hype & actually aren't very great. My stylist said I had hygral fatigue which is where your hair becomes mush from the use of heavy products. I wasn't a product junkie by any means, but the amount of oils & butters in the products over the years took a toll on my strands. My hair was long but it was not healthy & we had to chop off a good 6 inches. Currently, I'm using VO5 hot oil treatment as a prepoo, Bioterra Long & Healthy Shampoo, I use A'PIEU hair vinegar rinse (Kbeauty line) L'Oreal Absolute Repair Conditioner & Oribe blowdry cream to blowout my hair then put it in flexirods, (Like 8 chunky ones) then I use Oribe hair spray to set it. If I'm silkpressing (rarely) then Paul Mitchel Super Skinny Serum. No more wash & goes, twistouts, braidouts, or puff puffs for me. Just breakage city! I do identify as heat trained & will lightly blowdry my hair or sit under a hooded dryer for a rollerset. My hair in this state looks like a bundle of kinky blowout hair, I don't think it takes away from my blackness or naturalness. I didn't have a problem with retaining length but I have a lot less breakage & my stylist doesn't have to trim as much. I also love the blunt cut look better. I think the round shape is cute, but I like that my hair has been cut to where it's longer on the top & shorter on the bottom. It's very face framing & a lot more hangtime! I should be back to brastrap length in like a year (I'm full APL now). I'm really excited about the new shape I'm gonna have. I did invest in a brand called Virtue Labs for my conditioner & leave in conditioner, it's silicone free, right when Beyonce dropped her hairline. It's marketed as skincare for your hair. It's on the expensive side but I wanted to treat myself. The crazy thing is, that once you become educated about your hair for real for real, you can't justify things like Cecred which is just expensive hair butter & lotion. We need black Olaplex & black K-18, not expensive kitchen beautician products (she stole that rice water from the KZbin girlies!). We have to hold these brands accountable for the products they promote. So yea, I don't expect Cecred to do well. It's gonna end up like Pattern Beauty in Walmart. Lastly, I don't recommend anyone to use those products if you are planning to put heat to your hair. Beyonce knows she uses salon grade products to be that blonde & put that much heat on her hair. You're gonna get heat damage for real for real. Maybe not the 1st time but your hair will get weaker over time & lose it's curl pattern. So she doesn't "really" use her products. Just that 1 time on camera. Get a salon grade heat protectant from Sallys or Walmart that GUARANTEES 450 degrees of protection. Tread carefully!

Plus, Fenty solved a problem back when it launched. It set a precedent for shade inclusivity, not just for deep shades but for super light complexions. Beyoncé doesn’t speak. We never see her being spontaneous and candid. Every image we see of today’s Beyoncé is so aspirational, she’s almost otherworldly-love her but I can’t relate.

I use Aussie, Auntie Jackie, Garnier Frucits, As I am, Tresemme, Mane Choice, Mielle Organics, and Shea Moisture. My hair started really growing when I learned how to retain length and what products works for my hair.

I love this video Chrissie you're always blunt and straight to the point when I began to listen to you in 2017 I kind of took your videos as an attack up until 2018 I stopped listening to your videos with emotions but with proper reasoning and alot of your advices have worked in my favour in terms of life in general
