[@christshandmaiden]

I can't wait for my hair to get that length!!💖 beautiful sis

[@Adegail_]

Charnell Price same!!

[@microbiologyit]

Me too! I stuck with protective styles to retain length and I just hit bra strap length. I'm on track to be at her length in a year and a half.

[@estherpatterson9771]

Love you girl... may the Good Lord keep your hair strong.

[@DephneAviyah]

Esther Patterson amen 😆😇 thank you and same to you!

[@tacthom]

It feels AMAZING to be able to do your own hair yourself. I know it's strange but I get a thrill from creating salon quality results at home. Your results look brilliant.

[@umamichelle]

You are a blessing Dephne! Thank you for sharing your faith in all aspects possible.

[@purplepony250]

Hey Dephne, could you tell us where you got your yellow dress from it's so elegant 😍

[@mzansinatural]

Your hair looked beautiful even after just the blow drying but I like it in all states in any case

[@Bondisaurus]

I can feel the arm aches just watching this. Lol. So relatable.

[@Mateyena]

I am very happy to see a hair video from you. You look stunning, Love everything about this video. The yellow dress, the flowery top and skirt, and the hair. Love you girl.

[@Josh-el1lr]

Actual video starts at 3:46. You're welcome😇🙂

[@BlessedLPT.]

Why not just watch the whole video from start to finish? It's not a long video...

[@valerieann_]

Josh George thanks! 🙏🏾

[@Josh-el1lr]

Some people may just want to skip to the actual process tho🙂

[@AshBoogie24]

Josh George thank you

[@mztammeraczkingstons5927]

Josh George

[@Tammy-SophisticatedGlamGurls]

beautiful agree @ MsNaturale your hair looked amazing just blown dry. I love both though I think you did an excellent job. At least you can do your own hair now. Love it.

[@tieashasamuels2627]

Your crown of glory is so beautiful & I can see God's grace flowing throughout! When you took it down to press it out I thought that was such a cute style itself...effortless waves 😍. TFS 💜 gorgeous results

[@superwomando93]

Did you make the yellow dress that you was wearing it beautiful

[@microbiologyit]

I want that dress.

[@MajikEntt]

Yes I remember you did a video on flat ironing and you used Shae butter I’m glad you changed the products

[@fragrancedeparadis1275]

Glory be to God in the highest. Blessed to be a blessing. That's just what she's doing. Thanks Daphne

[@adriananaija87]

YESSSO AMEN!

[@TemperanceMoves]

Beautiful! I thought about using flexirods to give my hair that extra bounce, I'm going to try that method next time!

[@SweetGaBrownin]

Daphne, you did a beautiful job!

[@SoulfulRose]

You're hair is incredible. Goals!

[@tmcurly]

I prefer the blown out look on you because after your pressed it the hair became too thin. Great video!

[@xtelfolaj]

MsNaturale Michelle the struggles of having fine but thick hair.

[@xtelfolaj]

***** you can have fine and thick hair. Thick hair refers to having high density. Fine hair is about the thickness of one strands. Fine and coarse hair are polar opposites. People with fine and thick hair have dense hair but have the illusion of appearing "thin" when they straighten it. People with low density (thin hair) and coarse strands (thick hair strands) are the one who give the appearance of it looking thick.

[@ericastone3998]

I like it before the flat iron too. it looks fuller and nice on her.

[@LACHRONICLES]

hair language... Thin, Medium, course reference the how thick your hair strand are. Density Low, medium and High which some ppl will say thick reference to how much hair you have on your head. it's not that hard ppl. you can have high (thick ) hair with thin strands.. You can also have in between densities..

[@MekaSharee]

i have fine hair as well and what helps is not being heavy handed with products. Too much product is what causes it to look like this. I've learned through trial, error, and experience.

[@labrillante3]

i like your hair in all states. i also like your flowery outfit! take care!

[@Hairitage2023]

Wow wonderful from start to finish!!

[@elizabethsydnor3257]

You have the patience of Job!!!

[@princessbrown1781]

That was hard work Daphney!I love your hair.Stay blessed!

[@ReniiNaturalistaDiva]

Stunning results!

[@victory6620]

You did a great job Sis! Looks absolutely stunning! 👏

[@markevaphillips1343]

I've been waiting for another video like this from you. In the meantime I definitely enjoyed your Christ centered videos. You were the person who taught me I can pray about hair goals.... been following since then. Keep on keeping on Lady.

[@rachelsnape]

great results and your outfits are 200%

[@christshandmaiden]

So we need an updated hair growth tips please !!

[@deenjas]

the blow drier looks good for detangling

[@tiannebarclay6594]

It's amazing how she used a blow dryer brush that doesn't have a high setting and a flat iron at 230° but yet you have a lot of other naturals who use a regular blow dryer on high and crank the flat iron up in the 400s but yet they can't get their hair silk smooth like that. Not to mention this was her first attempt! That's why you really can't compare your hair to others cz everyone's hair really is different.

[@brittanymilgan]

She said she had her flat iron on the highest heat setting so that 230 might be in Celsius, which transfer into 446 Fahrenheit.

[@cassandra30k]

yes, you're right. in the UK they use celsius so her flat iron was really hot, but like Tianne says, everyone's hair is different. her hair is very healthy so whatever works...

[@tiannebarclay6594]

brittanymilgan Thanks for clearing that up about the temperature but even using a temperature so high it's mind blowing how she isn't even getting an ounce of heat damage and kinky hair is super fragile. Even though it's her first self flat iron she has gotten her hair straightened a couple times prior. Talk about healthy hair.

[@veemack6197]

It always gets that straight from heat that high. There is still damage done to the hair. Heat changes your hair. Squeezing your hair between two hot plates is not natural. Changes happen immediately to the hair shaft, even her fine strands. That is science. So we enter into all things by first counting up the costs. The cost of color and heat is damaged hair. She has to continue to treat her hair as damaged. Not just her but anyone. Hair is a fiber and when abused it gets damaged.

[@doThatGWalk]

Shlaybaby1 how did u do it?

[@ladynefertitibk]

You did a great job with those small sections. Nice results.

[@AyikosMedley]

Gosh! the length! Really inspiring!

[@andreajones2884]

Beautiful hair and great video! I use Olaplex on dry hair and leave on for 30 minutes, then shampoo and condition. It's great stuff!

[@Zizzyyzz]

Showstopper!!! Love it. Well done.

[@jjmac5712]

Very good, you did well Dephne!

[@syrgirl]

Dephne I love your background, the all white with pops of yellow and lemon.

[@Aisstylish]

I am glad you made this video as I was just looking at that dryer the other day in Boots wondering if to buy! Thanks

[@LifestyleDish21]

Nicely done! It came out great and the shirt you're wearing goes well with your complexion. So pretty!

[@DrTay-zn5re]

So beautiful. The yellow dress is lovely . Where are you if u don't mind sharing. Place looks great

[@nyashan4549]

God bless you my dear sister in Christ . I admire how far you have come in all your journeys and thank you for sharing and giving us great content.

[@bitrswtcookie99]

[@elizabethsydnor3257]

STUNNING!

[@ashleynicole9423]

I couldn’t live without my revlon styler😆

[@PraiseAra]

First of all, you're so beautiful and​ your hair is amazing! You mentioned that you wear wigs. Seeing as you have such long hair, would you consider doing a video on what to do with your hair under your wigs and how to get your wigs to lay flat 😘😘💕

[@I.m_Your_Fave]

Very nice! I can't believe you did all of that standing up. I have a chair in my bathroom for long jobs. 😂😂🤣🤣 Looks lovely! 😊

[@MatandEst]

I love that dress you're wearing and your hair looks beautiful! - Est X

[@alber4842]

Hello Dephne thanks for your lovely videos on hair and Christianity. I am following you and have been practising the methods you use on your hair I.e hand combing my hair. At the moment I wearing my hair in twist as it’s so cold, my hair is quite fine and get frizzy in 🇬🇧 weather. I can’t wait to make the Conditioner, it looks fab, I’ve used avocado but not with the ingredients you used. Please continue to make these informative videos God Bless You🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

[@soulfullyroyalnita]

Omg!!!! You look so beautiful and hair is amazing Queen!!

[@GodsTreasure]

The whole way through the video I kept thinking, "Wow, you're so beautiful". The results of the silk press are so gorgeous, but the amount of time I imagined it took is a whole different story. Lol.

[@unique_pink777]

For your first attempt it came out great love the results 😃💁🏽

[@up4itgal]

Your hair looks beautiful at every stage and it's so long!

[@abigailisi]

Wow 😮 your hair is so beautiful !!!❤️

[@coolbreeze111]

your hair looks amazing

[@crystaljohnson9977]

That yellow dress is gorgeous!

[@JessieIsDaName]

Im actually doing my first silk press on Jan 3, 2018. I havent had a trim for 9 years (by a professional) and I am so afraid, but I just feel like I need to see a professional for my hair right now. This video is helping me consider to do it on my own one day. 😇

[@lovelynoel5968]

Beautiful.

[@ByGraceBeauty]

YAAAAYYYY🙄😍🤗😉😊😊😘 I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING FOR HAIR VIDEOS...THANK YOU ....be blessed

[@Virtuenow]

Pretty yellow dress. Designer?? Nice growth-- and love the blow out look w/the wavy ends too-- that was pretty. Thanks for sharing

[@khadijahmuhammad3133]

Love it. Worth the wait!

[@hairCARTEL]

I definitely preferred your hair in its blown out state but your hair is beautiful either way!

[@BeautyOutspoken]

Your hair is so bomb! omggggg. But you think you applied too much product? The strands seemed a bit stuck together?

[@queenangelelshadai62]

your a beauty 👑 queen. I pray my hair will be this long.

[@F10werbunny]

magnificent job😄😄😄

[@rosieuk8449]

....and how much length do you manage to retain while protective styling under a wig....

[@shontellthomas3249]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@abawitx]

All kinds of gorgeous

[@DrSimpleBeauty]

It came out beautiful! And that dress ❤️ did you make it? I feel like that is my style and my color!!

[@doThatGWalk]

Your hair is amazing

[@JAchica11]

That yellow dress is the bomb! It's so beautiful! Did you make it?

[@juanag2194]

Thank you I have been waiting for your hair videos for so long girl.

[@fablife6236]

Have you ever tried an old fashion pressing comb to the roots? I'm transitioning and will go back to pressing comb on my roots. It has always worked in the past for me.

[@microbiologyit]

I love that yellow dress!!!!!! Where did you get it from?

[@Jadacymone8]

I have the same blow dryer. Overtime, it's going to start getting hotter and it works faster when you use it on dry hair.

[@RevMichelle]

Beautiful!

[@Daphneamy360]

Can do a review on the ion steam straightener heard Good review they say cut the straightening time and it get really straight and silky

[@osimeon00]

I wouldn't call this a silk press. Just normal straightening. But it looks great! What I would say to cut down on time is to try blow drying with a regular dryer (I know you said about them) but with a comb attachment on your hair soaking wet. That makes a huge difference. Then for flat ironing, you could cut down time significantly by purchasing an iron with 2 inch plates. At this point in your journey, your hair is so long and thick, a 2 inch plated iron could get the job done with more hair in half the time.

[@AqsoulX]

osimeon00 Great tips! Which flat iron or blow dryer would you suggest? I really wish I could do an actual "silk press" 😌 When you said soak and wet, should I spritz it with water when blow drying?

[@osimeon00]

+AqsoulX, as soon as you step outside shower from shampooing and conditioning, keep your hair wet. You can blot the excess water with a shirt. But you apply your product directly onto your hair. Personally I recommend professional high end flat irons and blow dryers for silk presses but you can get good results from ANY flat iron provided it's ceramic ion like babybliss. A good cost effective blow dryer is Conair silverbird. To get a good silk press is really in the product, technique, and heat. Paul Mitchell super skinny serum is a very good product to use for a silk press. You also want to set your iron to 450 if you have natural 4b/4c hair to get the silk press and 430-420 for 4a and above.

[@Gigillove]

+osimeon00 great advice. I use GHDs which is great but they won't get my hair as straight as that, but they do protect my strands

[@rosieuk8449]

Hi Dephne. A great hair video for you to do would be how you deal with you natural hair under a wig. I have been protective styling for the last two weeks under a wig for the first time ever (and plan to do this for about a year) so as you have been doing this for the last six months your guidance would be most helpful as to the routine you use and any suggestions you may have in terms of looking after your hair for healthy hair and growth under a wig. Thanks, RosieUK

[@LGJiG]

Your hair is gorgeous! Does the products you use do a good job of keeping your hair from reverting?

[@FelissaArias]

Hi thank you for the video this aveda products revert back your curls. One time someone recommended me this one but I’m not sure yet to use it

[@thespokenword11]

Wow..did u naturally had long hair or how did you grow your hair?

[@Mayrows]

[@333via]

How many years have you been natural? & you're beautiful inside and out! 😊

[@br0wnsug453]

Hey hun... What colour did u use for your hair? I love it... Did u bleach it first?

[@Jelthebelle]

Fafie Chimz She has a video on the process and product, but I believe it was honey blonde by texture and tones.

[@br0wnsug453]

Jelikah thank you my dear... Much appreciated xxx

[@Ebizzill]

so interesting. A lot of people use olaplaex as a treatment when you color your hair. Ive been very interested in seeing if it could be used as a simple deep conditioner for straightening since coloring and straightening go through similar processes of changing your hair strands.

[@majormediaproductions]

Hi Dephne🙋, Did you recolor your hair? I noticed that your roots dont look black. If so what color did you use to retouch. Im considering coloring too. Thanks luv 💓

[@truthneverlies1906]

Well done💞💞💞

[@DriaLee24]

Will you ever go back to black completely? It seems as it would look really pretty on you!

[@butterfly9274]

Alexandria Mcfadden I think black hair doesn't fit her at all😊

[@DriaLee24]

butterfly9274 Good thing I'm not bothered by what you think and I was talking to Dephne! 🙃😊

[@chameelatorrence6935]

New Subscriber! I'm headed to your website to preorder your book. You're amazing and I love your videos.

[@Sheenawallace225]

Great video Dephne! Your hair is beautiful and so is your spirit. Did I hear you correctly? You used Tresemme conditioner instead of shampoo. Did you shampoo at all? Thanks in advance. Love, joy, and peace be with you always.

[@Mayadestinny]

I feel like you haven't allowed your hair to be in its natural state in a long time

[@Mayadestinny]

I miss your natural twist outs braid outs without heat 😭😭

[@DephneAviyah]

Marian Akp aww I know honey... I think with how busy I am these past months I literally don't have time to do those and have my hair revert back when I step outside my door 😢😭 I guess I'm so over braid outs and twist outs atm 😌Love ya and thanks for stopping by xx

[@Amariellah]

Dephne Madyara thank you for sharing I like your hair anyway 6ou decide to wear it. Wig, Straight, twist it doesn't matter what matters is how you treat people and how they feel in your presence

[@majormediaproductions]

Dephne Madyara Is it because of humidity Dephne? Maybe you can try a very good anti humidity product. I use aunt jacky's anti-poof curl cream, and also garnier fructis hair serum (in green bottle), or Frizz Ease I know its not top of the line lol but I like them. Maybe you can try if it helps. Love your hair natural and straight, keep doing you boo. 🌷🌷🌷

[@canigetit2008]

So what? She can wear her hair any way that she wants.

[@shaznewa752]

Wat did she use to curl her hair after flat ironing i want those sticks/watever

[@bri30487]

Can you show us how you prep your hair for under your wigs? What's your moisture routine?

[@adriananaija87]

No WEAVE looks as good as what you just did here in this video and that is both blow dried and flat ironed. Go Dephne!!!

[@Bellajjoe]

love it

[@joho6035]

Did you make that dress?

[@andrea1rayne2sweet]

I love it

[@amandaedwards5495]

Please talk more about the products that you used, how much and the feel of your hair after. Most heat protectants I've tried leave my hair sticky and not movable.

[@swiftfox9196]

Can you do a video on olaplex soon please? I want to use heat more often and am hoping this will prevent damage. Thanks

[@user-um7tw6kx4r6]

Did you cut several inches off at some point? It looks shorter

[@NICOLE-sb5so]

love your hair......
