This video came just in time for me. Thank you so much. Would love to follow along with the crown and glory method!

Two weeks late, but I almost fell out when I heard the little bit about a texturizer or relaxer. The braids are cute friend! I should have known you were playing with us.😂😂😂😂

[@ALove4Me]

😂😂😂 🫣

[@Iheartpie1234]

Yesss I found someone in my city who does mini twists and I will be going to her for the next six months just to give myself a break from spending so much time doing my own hair and hopefully it’ll grow it in the process too. But I was definitely burnt out.

[@ALove4Me]

You are so lucky! Most stylists won’t do mini twists

[@Iheartpie1234]

@@ALove4Me I know!!!! Lol she’s literally the only one I’ve found!

[@leticiajohnson3428]

I treat myself to a salon visit once a month or once every 2 months depending on budget. When I go I have her do something that will last 2 weeks. That helps me not get sick of doing my hair because someone else is helping. I love my curls much more than dealing with straight because I was a straight natural and that was more work for me.

[@ALove4Me]

I might start regular hair appointments myseelf. Thanks for sharing!

[@kathyflemmings631]

When I'm tired of my hair I do crochet for about six months two to three months at a time but nothing permanent.

[@ALove4Me]

Makes complete sense

[@monica53210]

I wash braids with cowash (one of the soultanicals ones)

Thanks for sharing

[@Ilovemesomemj1]

It came out very pretty

[@ALove4Me]

Thank you!

[@shontels8105]

I braided mine a few months ago for the same reason. Forgot how much I missed waking up and having to do nothing except some braid spray.

[@ALove4Me]

No, but I seriously forgot what is was like to really have so very little to do for WEEKS!

[@ElaineWill131]

The braids look fantastic on you! I honestly thought you were going to big chop. And that would’ve been alright with me ☺️😊

[@ALove4Me]

Trust! A fade was definitely in consideration

[@lasandrajackson1474]

Share it all. I’ve never heard of the crown and glory method

[@ALove4Me]

Will do!

[@Meloyadina]

Yes please show the journey of the crown and glory method, never heard of it before. Easing burnout is always a gooood thing. Your braids look great!!

[@ALove4Me]

Will do!

[@marleyhill34]

girl I started to get bored of my hair too and resent it. It breaks easily and it requires a lot of effort...so I decided to give myself a break this summer. I got a bleached honey blonde fro-hawk. Shaved both sides down to a bald fade and got a design on both sides. Yup I fell back in love with my hair. Yes I suffered breakage and dryness but i love my hair now! for autumn I'm going to throw in some matching kinky twists and then in winter back to my headwraps and wigs. I needed to switch it up before I caused permanent damage through neglect.

[@ALove4Me]

Your hair sounds super cute and fun!

[@marleyhill34]

@@ALove4Me thanks!

[@Godisloven09]

I thought it was just me. I’m so tired of doing my hair. It’s not hard, I just don’t want to do it. I blow dried and flat ironed it and now it’s in a pony and I’m good with that😂

[@ALove4Me]

So very TIED 😂

[@rachelk4914]

I’ve never heard of the crown and glory method either

This is how I KNOW that I'm an old school natural

Thank you for being honest on your channel. Thank you for not always wearing a ton of makeup. You look beautiful natural though there is nothing wrong with makeup!! Do you boo!!

[@ALove4Me]

Thank you so much!! I try to show how I actually go about in the world and I don't always wear makeup

Would love to see a braid maintenance video ❤

I'll go over maintenance in my next vlog, so stay tuned!

My mom is a blowdry natural in the winter and a braids lady in the summer and it works great for her!

Thank you!

[@starmaxx4]

Your hair looks really pretty! Stylist did a great job! 🥰💙

[@ALove4Me]

Thank you!

[@iateyursandwiches]

If you heat train your hair, it will stay striaght longer and even withstand humidity longer before reverting.

[@ALove4Me]

Yea, I'm not sure that I want to heat train, but thanks for the suggestion

[@eVaniwithaV]

It's so true! EASE! I'm good for cutting mine off tho lol! But your stylist did an amazing job! They look really good on you!

[@ALove4Me]

I feel that! Thank you!

I love the braids on you and YES to ease!

I now have sister locs after getting tired of loose natural hair.

[@ALove4Me]

I almost chose locs over these braids

[@afro-fairydezigns2780]

I grew my hair frim 2017-2020, it was big, so in 2021 June i decide to have dredlocks, that didn't last, cos in march 2022 i jst decided to cut it all. I just went back to Square 1 im like 1 year "Natural" and its growing fast, my problem is im not even taking care of it...mind you i hace not braided, twisted or anytging, o just wash and moisturise, im too lazy for my hair

[@monica53210]

I did a keratin complex express blowout at a white salon with a black stylist and mind blown. Have all my curls and less frizz. Consider it. I wear my hair in a blown out state a lot so it will encourage me to protective style less and be able to bun or do sew in with leave out etc more with less reversion and less heat

[@ALove4Me]

Such a good solution. Thanks for sharing!

[@MsPrincess1347]

Depression

[@ALove4Me]

If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, I encourage you to see a professional

What oil are you using in that beautiful bottle?

It honestly feels like you can’t have a bad hair day when you’re natural, especially with medium-short hair or else you’ll be stuck in the house. However, if you complain, you’ll be told you hate your hair and other mess…..I try to stick to braids because summer time is already annoying and sticky but the added stress of detangling makes me want to cut it off.

[@ALove4Me]

I feel you on wanting to cut off your hair

[@1GoldenBreeze]

I didn't think you were getting a relaxer, but I did think your were going to cut it short.🤣 The box braids look good.💜

[@ALove4Me]

That's cause you know me!

[@SharonDJohnson515]

Oh, Sis, I knew that "relaxer" talk was part of a longer series of sentences 🙌🏾 Love the braids! 🤩

[@ALove4Me]

Oh for sure!

[@92spice18]

I’m tired of my hair too. Idk if this is the crown and glory method but my plan is to be slightly straightened with an electric pressing comb in the winter months (one professional silk press in the winter for a trim) and alternating braids and blowouts in the summer (again with one silk press for a trim). When in a blowout I’ll just wear two braids going back so I can easily unravel them to moisturize and braid them back up. I wear a Christian head covering during the day so no one sees my hair anyway.

[@ALove4Me]

Sounds like you have a solid plan

[@kariberry5022]

It’s real and I am going through it now as well!! I have my hair in jumbo twists that I did myself. They’ve been in for over a week now, and it’s been nice. Plan on keeping them in for about 3 weeks.

[@ALove4Me]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@cassandredavilmar7960]

Crown and Glory is a wayyyy back method lol. I remember that from 2005 haha. I wonder if the website is still up.

[@ALove4Me]

That site was hacked YEARS ago.. it's sad really cause she helped so many of us

[@kearstenw3855]

The whole time I'm sitting here thinking what is she talking about, LMBO I had to Google "crown and Glory" real quick! 😅😅😅

Sounds great! and thank you!

[@adayinthelight7575]

Use Taliah Waajid! It’s awesome!!! Use the protective mist bodyfier spray and the Taliah waajid moisture clenz for the scalp in between shampoos.

[@ALove4Me]

I ADORE the protective mist bodifier. Thanks for the reminder!

[@sweetybyrd65]

I want to see how you take care of your braids. I just had crochet braids installed as my protective style and I plan on leaving them in for a several weeks. I’m tired of handling my natural hair for a while and I want to retain more length. I’ve never heard of the Crown & Glory Method. Can you please explain what it is?

[@ALove4Me]

You got it!

[@Becca14219]

😂 the energy right now is like everybody is about to go back to chemical straightening, braids, a weave, a cut…something ELSE. I’m right there with you, totally over it

[@ALove4Me]

Yes! Cause the world is back in full force and I'm tired

[@adayinthelight7575]

I feel the same way but with exercise I can’t do it. I’m doing braids right now and I’m not doing it myself. I need a break!!!😊

I was thinking of getting braids too. I’m tired 😭😵‍💫 maybe consider the Oyin ginger for the wash? Maybe break out the Canviiy? 🤔

[@ALove4Me]

Yea, I'm definitely breaking out Canviiy

[@samiraj.192]

I’m so excited for your possible transition to blowout natural - for however long it lasts. I’m making the shift currently and I just searched “I’m a blowout natural” & this video came up. Do look up Framesi progressively smooth leave in spray, that, paired with phytodefrissant blow dry balm (it’s full of film forming humectants) gets my hair easily stretched with a blowdryer while remaining soft. Thanks for the wonderful content as always. Be well ❤

[@ALove4Me]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@kearstenw3855]

Btw, love that shower head, she fancy! 🚿

[@ALove4Me]

It does make showers super enjoyable

[@Neferfifi21]

I started working out 3 months ago too and I've been struggling. Feel like my hair can't last more than 2 days anymore and I actually planned on doing passion twists this weekend, which i never do, so this video is ..affirming to say the least. I actually think it's nice to have a good balance between wearing ur hair & doing braids/twists. I feel like I've missed out on beautiful styles and there are so many nice ones these days

[@ALove4Me]

That last part... I forgot how fun braids can be

[@rinawallace1962]

I love your new look! And, I look forward to following your process over the next two months! I am considering becoming a blowout natural in the Fall, and I am betting you will be too. 😊
