Lordt! I’ve been following your hair journey since you were relaxed. You and I big chopped around the same time (had no choice just like you) and we both have so much growth! I feel like you’re my natural hair sister 😂😂 wishing you the most success with school! ❤️

[@ESSNTL]

Look at us just bouncing back, I love it! Lol... And thank you! ❤️

[@burrleezy3733]

Don’t apologize for changing yourself hair! I’m the laced and have been watching forever and will continue to do so

[@TheBenaBeans]

I hear you preach about authenticity. I've been subscribed to your channel for some time now and I've always loved your videos no matter what the topic was. This is your KZbin channel. The world is moving in a different direction now. Sis, whatever you post will attract WHO its supposed to attract. I do understand that you need to maintain your subscribers and such but don't worry about who leaves cuz as you evolve, there are other person evolving and would love to see someone live through their evolution. So if you want to do more vlog style videos and share how your life is going, do that. If you want to post a video of your hair, do that. Whatever you post, the message will reach the right persons! Good luck on your journey ❤

[@cheriew2512]

Wow!! ... that’s some serious growth. I remember when you had to have the big chop. Glad to see you back 😁 and your hair is beautiful

[@RivyO]

I love all of your videos no matter what the topic is. There are so many people on youtube with relaxed or natural hair, but personally for me I watch your videos because I love your personalities and like you said we are in the same phase in our lives. Plus its amazing to see 3 beautiful and super highly educated black women just talking and doing what makes them happy. So if you want to do videos that are super deep or videos just about hair, I'll keep coming back to watch and rewatch your video :)

[@joebobbitt7331]

Enjoyed video ! Yes I followed you because you had relaxed hair and I'm still gonna continue to follow you on your natural hair journey!! I still learn a lot about just taking care of your hair!! I'm still texlaxed , only get a relaxer twice a year, so I have a lot of texture to deal with & natural hair videos help me a lot!! Your hair has grown a lot so I can STILL learn from videos you bring. Please continue to make videos when you can! Keep working hard & enjoying your time in school!!

[@ESSNTL]

This means so much! Thank you 💜Yes, healthy hair is the ultimate goal-- regardless of relaxed or natual.

[@angelaharrell547]

Thank you for being so transparent 💙 your true supporters really appreciate it !

[@stewash84]

Thanks for being honest and transparent with us. Keep bringing us real content like this. I enjoyed the video because I felt like I got a two for one deal. I learned about a hair care routine and also about your experience in your PhD program. I too am in a PhD program, and the first thing that comes out everyone’s mouth is, “when do you graduate”? Good luck!

[@ESSNTL]

It's so funny because I know they're genuinely curious and just trying to make conversation but its like "thanks for reminding me that the end is nowhere near" haha... Good luck to you as well! We got this!

[@Baybiedoll35]

Natural hair suits you! It's gorgeous!! I remember when you dyed it and I KNEW you were going to have to BC. 😫 I'm 4.5 years natural by choice and though I HATE wash day, it's been a great decision for me as well!

[@aanaayss]

I would love to see something more in-depth than hair...I mean I would still like to see y'all's hair updates but I am also interested on mental health tips, how to navigate "life" as a late 20 year-old post college....dealing with relocating and making new friends, relationships, etc. how to deal with familial pressure on your personal life decisions and goals, etc.

[@tay3090]

aanays yes! This would be so helpful.

[@ESSNTL]

These are great topics. Noted! ✍🏾Thank you for the feedback!

[@jacintahall3880]

Your hair is so beautiful and has grown so much 😍 I’m glad you guys are back!

[@prestinahenderson2959]

Could the three of you do an updated grad school video? I just received my BA in Psychology and I trying to decide on what to obtain my Masters in and I think a lot of people are in the same situation and just need a little more information on some options such as School Counseling. School Psychology and Accounting! I would like hear this information people such as you three who have been in this same situation! Thanks and I love your content!

[@deedrajackson2595]

Great video!! Kudos to you for doing what’s best for you and your hair...no need to apologize for going natural. I will continue to watch and support essntl. You young women are amazing!

[@satoriadillon7784]

Wow I remembered when you big chopped it's amazing how long your hair is now!!! Glad your back and pray for your success in school!!!

[@vengefuliquefury4525]

The most important thing I've learned from watching your videos is that people in general need to do what's best for them, their lifestyle, and their hair. If that means being natural than be natural. If it means being relaxed, then be relaxed. If that means putting it in wigs, locs, braids etc to get it out of your face than so be it. You shouldn't apologize for going natural because that's what you decided would be best for your and that's your business.

[@angellicajimenez2550]

When I subscribed to y'all, I was relaxed, and now I'm 2 years natural, so I'm sticking around! I've also been documenting my natural hair journey on my channel: DMA Dynasty. Love y'all!

[@jetradaniels9528]

Do a compilation of your journey in short snippets since you've been filming anyway 😊

[@ESSNTL]

oh gosh 🙈 okay let me find the courage 😂

[@jetradaniels9528]

@@ESSNTL don't be scared!! You got this! Your hair is growing back really quickly, btw!

[@vengefuliquefury4525]

This is a great idea! Especially because other people are probably going to be as nervous/unconfident as she was, and that video would be very helpful to them

[@fushiaangel]

Great video! Loved watching your relaxed videos and I also like your natural ones as well ❤️

[@Itgyrl909]

How about doing Both at the Same Time? Would LOVE to see y’all slay Hair/Fashion While Talking About Your Careers!! And... you have a personal channel??

[@unsolicitedopinions7769]

Your hair has grown so quickly! I can’t imagine how healthy it is now because your relaxed hair was 🔥

[@daniellesain5859]

I missed yall ... welcome back.

[@lizthebroken]

So happy you're back. I've been a subscriber from the start. Your hair is beautiful. I was relaxed for 25 years and have been natural for 16 days with a TWA.

[@BeutifulBeholder]

Just more inspiration for me. I love following y'all ❤! I hope to get my PhD soon. I am finishing up my BM and will be applying to grad school this coming fall (Lord willing). Thank you for being such an inspiration (all 3 of you)!

[@ESSNTL]

Sending so much positive energy your way! The world is yours! 💜

[@BeutifulBeholder]

@@ESSNTL thank you. I had a late start in going to college (I am 29, started attending around 21 fulltime from my JC and then Transferred to a University at 27), but a start is better than not starting at all (imo). Plus, I figure, I don't have kids and a love life (like what is that?) So why not follow my dreams and achieve goals?

[@phebeeaugustinbrunache9665]

Welcome back ❤❤

[@vengefuliquefury4525]

Also: I 100% would be down for some more in-depth videos about life post-bachelor's. I just recently graduated and started working my first "real" job, and learning how to adult is hard.

[@ammao-boakye475]

Can you talk more about grad school, the application process and mental health?

[@janetcollins163]

Can you please do a video on how you grew your hair so fast thick and healthy

[@Emma___sc]

Yes it would be great to see more in depth subjects

[@antoinique_xo]

I subscribed to this channel because you ladies promoted healthy hair. I was transitioning to natural when I found your channel. And I’d also like to see some videos on mental health and possibly even some self care routines if y’all are interested in posting some. Wishing you all the best, much love 💗

[@narrington7453]

Thanks for being 100% honest. 😊

[@beauty4er2111]

your hair is beautiful!!!

[@undeniablydesirablethings1147]

Could you upload a natural hair wash day routine?! I’d love to see it!

[@candicefamber5434]

Can you please post videos of that awkward phase? I need domes encouragement as I get through mine. ☺

[@ESSNTL]

Lol yes, I have a video I'm sitting on. I'm just scared 😂

[@kendrabrevard1976]

please post the videos

[@reddangel35]

Your hair whether it’s natural or relaxed, all said its your journey. I appreciate any advice that’s given. I would love to go natural without doing the full chop. Is this possible? By the way your hair is beautiful!

[@urchic]

Gorg Sis!!!

[@liisandipwashimwe1081]

How old are you?Your hair is beautiful

[@bebellzfortune4632]
