3 years ago I did the big chop. I decided this year to stretch it out to see the length and trim it. I was shook at the length! My curls are so tight I thought my hair wasn't growing but it's doing just fine! You did a great job to cut it yourself in the front. 🥰

I love how you mentioned why you don’t use the heat protectant marketed products. I watch a professional stylist’s channel and he basically stated that heat damage can really only be controlled by proper technique and heat use. Your hair is so gorgeous and healthy!

[@TheDaneyeledee]

If you go to afope atoyebi’s channel, who is a trichologist, she actually reviews scientific studies that elucidate which heat protectant ingredients protect your hair. So, it isn’t just technique.

I'm a "trained‐heat" natural meaning I gave up the creamy crack 10 years ago but get it slik pressed every 2-3 months even when I went on a bi-weekly basis it was still thriving...and on relaxed hair. I guess every texture is truly unique. Glad you found what works for your hair 🥰

I remember being natural up until the age of 12; all my mother used was shampoo and hair grease! Lol!! Got it washed weekly and wrapped my hair up at night. My hair was healthy and thick. We were too poor for hair dryers. I'm getting braids all summer and will make the decision afterwards. Thank you! Love all of your videos.

[@DVines-sz4nn]

Our hair is just the most beautiful of all hair! It is so versatile and can do EVERYTHING from kinky curly braids twists straight LOCS etc., it thrives when we don' t over style. All we need do is to keep it clean moist and stop abusing it. It is essential that we accept it's natural texture after all it is our heritage our personal lineage. All of our ancestors are reflected in it those known and unknown. Some things can not and should never be changed. Once we honour our own then it will grow and grow unless we're not healthy taking pharmaceutical meds or using too many commercial products. I make my own. It is just glorious our crown no matter the length. Your hair is BEAUTIFUL Sis! Ty for such a well filmed simple video edited to perfection! I have been around from the start of your channel and may I say I like your style the way you do things period. You reflect individuality! The essence of Pure STYLE! 🍃🌼✨

The comments I went to professionals, they used too much heat and I had to start all over. Ask this to say, heat protectants are gimmicks for sure.
