From Dry & Frizzy to Healthy Curls | My Curly Hair Journey

[@jassunner4086]

I experienced hair loss after covid. Literally had a small patch of hair loss along my side part. I started using rosemary oil along with some other carrier oils and i have notice a hair growth. There are baby hair growing now. I used it religiously everyweek. The smell of rosemary oil is strong fyi.

[@BeingLUCA]

That's amazing to hear. Yes, I love rosemary oil & the scent & it's actually one of the ingredients in the Seda oil that I'm now using. I look forward to seeing the results :)

I hope you make content again! I always loved your videos.

[@charushekhar1148]

I remember watching your hair tutorials on Luxy Hair and whenever I recreate the hairstyles you and Mimi did, I would get compliments ☺️

[@BeingLUCA]

So fun.. I so appreciate those times & how it allowed us to connect with so many amazing humans all over the world. :)

Love seeing you back on your channel Leyla! ❤ I would love to see your kids as well. They’re adorable. 😊 Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@BeingLUCA]

Thank you so much for your kind words & a warm welcome & your request. At this time, this isn't something that is lighting up. If one day, my feelings change & the kids want to be a part of the channel, I would definitely be open to that. :)

Oh Leyla, the two-three times I dyied my hair I hated so much the maintenance that immediately changed back to natural. Nowadays when I need to react on my hair I change haircut. My mother always told me that my color is beautiful (I am a black hair brunette) but you know I wanted to do my thing! Now, that I can see the first grays, I say to myself "enjoy your black hair now that you have it!". Another point I have, when speaking to myself is to let the aging process happen naturally and being able to witness it. That is where I am now and i am very happy! Thank you for sharing!

[@BeingLUCA]

I love that, Stella! Thank you for sharing. You're absolutely right. Our minds tend to always project into the future & it takes practice to learn to embrace & appreciate the good that is already present in the here & now :)

[@emmkay1027]

Beautiful Leyla! Thanks for inspiring me - I will try and embrace my natural curls as well!

[@BeingLUCA]

Glad to hear you feel inspired to give it a try :)

[@feliciabourque]

Great video as always. I am so glad you decided that you wanted to come back to youtube. Everytime I watch one of your videos I always feel a sincere piece of calmness over me.

[@BeingLUCA]

Thank you so much, Felicia. I'm so glad to hear that 🙏

Hi Leyla Your hair is so beautiful. That is the first thing I noticed was your bouncy and gorgeous curls. I love how you share your story. Like you, when I was young, I thought straight hair was beautiful, and I wanted to be Asian because they had straight hair-the opposite of my Hispanic roots. I got two keratin treatments and started to dye it blonde. After awakening to be more conscious, I stopped following the trends and let my hair be. But I was still damaged. My hair got its curl back during my first pregnancy, and my relationship was blossoming into more natural hair care. When the curls came back, I got a curl perm, thinking my curls would be fully back. And I destroy all of my curls. My hair got longer and cut during my second pregnancy, but the damage was still there. It's been one year now since I didn't color my hair. I find that there are not many natural shampoos or conditions for curly hair. Having my daughter with beautiful soft curls, like when I was a child, gives me more confidence to embrace my curls. Thank you for sharing your story. It taps into my childhood memory. I'm so happy to be Hispanic and that I pass my curls to my daughter, it is a full-circle journey. ❤

[@BeingLUCA]

I love that, Joissy! Thank you for sharing your journey with your hair as well. I believe with intention & proper care, you will be able to bring your beautiful, natural curls back. Something, I forgot to mention in the video that I do, is I also started talking to my hair, telling it how much I love it & appreciate it. I believe that is also making a positive difference, as everything is energy & everything has consciousness, I do believe it is making a positive difference.

If only we could go back and tell our teenage selves not to put an iron to our beautiful hair with no heat protection 😅 glad to see you back, I’ve been following you since 2011!

[@BeingLUCA]

It's all part of the process & the evolution.. thank you so much for sticking around for so many years. I'm so glad to have you here :)

[@GypsyZoya]

Love you advice! Trying to get my frizz out and I will try this tips

[@BeingLUCA]

My pleasure, love. I hope it works on you as well :)

[@daniperez7005]

So beautiful Leyla! Thank you for sharing your journey! ❤

[@BeingLUCA]

Thank you, love :) I appreciate you being here & supporting

[@AlexandraVicunaPerry]

I have curly hair and like you I straighten my hair all the time. Finally I decided to stop doing it and it became wavy but not as curly as I used to be. It’s a hormonal problem. I love and embrace my curly, white hair. I had lost lots of hair and I started using olive oil, castor oil and rosemary essential oil a mixture and most of the bald spot I have are almost covered with new hair. Try it.

[@BeingLUCA]

That's so great to hear. Thank you for the tip about the mixture of the oils that have helped you regrow your hair. I will keep that in mind :)

[@charushekhar1148]

Love your hair ❤ I have naturally wavy hair, but I absolutely love the Hairitage by Mindy curl cream. It gives nice definition :)

[@BeingLUCA]

Thank you, Charu!

[@MyKiranD]

Hi Leyla! Thank you so much for sharing your routine 🙏🏼 that’s exactly my story and I had been fighting my wavy/curly hair but even after accepting them I haven’t been able to find anything that worked for the curls. I’ll definitely try this oil. Also, like you said you are more about natural products, so am I, can you share what you use as a moisturizer on your face? And as a sunscreen? Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

[@BeingLUCA]

Hi Kiran. Thank you for your comment. I hope the oils work well on your hair too. For my face, I've been using an oil as well for years. Last year I started to making my own formulation with Rosehip Oil, Seabuckthorn Oil, Frankincense Oil & Vitamin E oil. I love how it feels. I tend to not use any sunscreen at the moment.

[@oppsendless3814]

Thanks for sharing! By the way, you said it feels good not to use chemicals in your hair but this oil you are using is also composed of chemicals-even water is a chemical. 😊

[@BeingLUCA]

You're right. I meant synthetic chemicals, not derived from nature ;)

[@sallyfelix8838]

I did this!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I would wake my sister before school so she could iron my hair. Eventually the kids at school would tell me they could smell burnt hair.. when hair straighteners finally hit the shops you can imagine I thought it was the best invention ever! Now I try to imbrace my waves and haven't dyed my hair for 3 years. I wanted to give it a break after all the pain I put it through!

[@BeingLUCA]

Good for you, Sally! I love that you're also embracing your natural hair colour & texture. :)

[@nadou8788]

Thank you for sharing your journey ! You are glowing in this video (could you please do a makeup video or share the products you use ? ). Was it hard for you in the beginning to stop having straight hair ? I tried once but I quickly went back to my straightner 🙈 my curls never looked as good as yours…

[@BeingLUCA]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I do not feel called to do beauty tutorials at this time. As far as the products, I've really not changed/added anything new for about a decade.. haha.. Most days I use a MAC blush, Loreal million lashes mascara & a Kiko highlighter. When I film I also still use my tried & true bare Minerals powder foundation in addition to the above mentioned products and that is really all that I use. Oh, and a homemade Lip balm all well :)

[@YadiMcVey]

You have a beautiful energy 🙂

[@marss4030]

Hey Leyla ,you should use curl cream and a diffuser it helps bring out your curls more :)

[@BeingLUCA]

I have used both in the past. If you watch the video, I mention there, why I stopped using heat & other types of styling products :)

[@marss4030]

@@BeingLUCA you can put it on the cold setting that’s what worked for me.Used to watch all the videos back in the day with you and Mimi ,I miss those types of videos 🥲

[@amandaweber7300]

I have loved Innersense Organics on my curly hair journey - I think you’d love the products!! All natural and infused with love ❤ Great company!

[@fdpcompdm]

[@profamal]

Are there women not questionning themselves about their hair ? Are there woman absolutely OK with the way their hair look ? Why are we so obsessed with our hair fur ?
