[@SuperElise21]

I’ve been natural for five years and this is the first year where I’ve seen my hair decide to flourish. It’s because I let go of the secret shame I had about wearing my natural hair, genuinely believing that my prettiest self was wearing a wig. My mini twists and I have gone through a raggedy spiritual journey that all my classmates (currently in uni) gave me a sideways glance. Asking me if I let myself go, but the reality was that the change in me was so fundamental. I can’t wait to see what my hair will look like in ten months, wearing my hair as confidently as possible. Also will be my first time wearing it for my birthday on Tuesday ☺️

@@SuperElise21 How long do you leave your mini-braids in before you re-do them? Do you wash and condition the braids while they are in? If not how do you maintain them?

[@SuperElise21]

@@scorieshair Hey! I leave them in for two weeks at a time. I used to do only one week when I first started because they would get so frizzy (they were short and I was new in technique). Now, I (try) to moisturize them daily with water and a small dollop of Africa's Best Shea Butter curls (v affordable!). The intention is to give them a quick rinse every week with a little bit of clay, conditioner and a deep conditioner. Back in with the curl cream and then tie it down with a durag. They look shinier and brand new depending. Take them out the following week for another full wash day and repeat. It goes by quickly and my only maintainence in the week is leave in and a durag. My hair has grown a decent bit too since the original post. The routine is sustainable and easy to me.

The reason why you don't see men like me in the media all the time is because we are too busy protecting our women. The media lies in its statistics. Most of us marry and stay with black women. And yes, I like them as dark as me. I'm flattered that other races of women want us black men but for those of us who are real and educated, we are sticking to black women.

How about just appreciating that the brothers are choosing black women to partner with, instead of this light skin/dark skin mess? So much divide in our race, it's amazing we can go forward. 👎🏿To say black men don't chose black women sounds so silly. I am a dark skinned natural hair millennial (from the Beyonce and Rhinanna era) with a black millennial fiancé. Instead of generalizing with your skewed perception, how about educating the males in your circle to appreciate a black woman irrespective of the shade of melanin and hair type? Behaviours are learned. To go back to my original point, if us Black women/men teach our boys/girls to appreciate and be proud of our natural beauty, won't they grow into adults with the same education/perception? Think this would not change? 🤔

[@Sunshine_Hime]

@@traceydumase Thank you for replying. I'm glad they worked for you and now I feel more motivated to continue protective styling with that hairstyle.

[@shawnapruitt500]

HAIR GOALS😍😍 my natural hair has been your “before” length FOREVER !!

[@rd4469]

@LifewithShawna...Mine too and I'm so frustrated because it seems like it doesn't want to grow no matter what I do.

[@GIGIAUB5]

This has also been me, I've been natural for like 4 years and it just won't grow, I've stuck with it but it's so disheartening

Kudos to you for learning self love amd natural hair care at a young age. Doing alot better than these grown folk out here. Keep it up babygirl !!! 💕

I grew to love my natural twists and people still hate on them but the moisture, maintenance and growth is undeniable, great job and I love your background, too cute ❤

[@patriciamitchell2559]

Yes this girl is going places. Great attitude positive VIBES

[@kayta5111]

I remember when I did mini twists I was so insecure to wear them out so I would put a head wrap on, but now that I watched this you gave me that extra boost of confidence to go outside with my natural hair and to embrace myself tysm for this

[@Faithyyyyy1234]

When you put your hair in single braids, you can wear hair wraps 💕and you can do different types of style with that.

[@eviarebecca]

faith yarngo hair wraps never stay on my peanut head but im definitely going to but me some good wraps and try those styles

[@dshae2293]

Just wanted to let you know Evia that your advice/tips worked. I have been doing mini twist and keeping them in for 2 days before wearing it out as a twist out and let me tell you within a couple of weeks my hair has not only grown longer, but the overall health and integrity of my hair has changed. Thank you so much 💜

[@NitaVeee]

Wow you are so talented and knowledgeable about your natural hair! At 10th grade I was putting a box perm on myself every two weeks! Where was my mother ! 😂😂😂 great video!

You are so precious. Your skin is beautiful. I’m literally gonna braid my hair this weekend because of this video and I am so glad that you were confident enough to rock your hair, grow it and now people can’t say a damn thing! Do you girly! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lolotho9951]

Beautiful and classy young lady. Love the way you presented and represented!

You are the cutest!! I love your personality and overall disposition. I think you learned a valuable life lesson and that is: Do what works for you and don't worry about what people have to say!! You and your hair are absolutely beautiful.

[@prettypaige5411]

Girl I do twists and I was ashamed of them for so long, but they really grow my hair! I'm also homeschooled too and I was so encouraged by your video! Love this! Ur so cute! 😂❤❤

[@kiara_nights8857]

@quiche Weekes your hair probably looks beautiful in plaits xx

[@phoenixsollee2801]

Don't be ashamed of your twists. My hair is totally in twists. It's convenient and if I'm going somewhere, I can still fit a wig over it to make a run. I do think I will have these twists until December to see if there is some progress with the other things I'm doing such as rose water, aloe, rice water, wild growth oil, and MSM. Since March, I havd noticed that my hair is thicker.

[@islandbella5421]

I just love how beautiful, honest, and confident you are! Keep being beautiful young lady 🤗😍😍😍

[@ttothed2308]

Good for you, lady. Yes, some people are “heavy-handed” and don’t know how to adjust their tension when they braid. They just pull too tight. Kudos for doing your own hair. You are just lovely. It’s so amazing the wisdom you have embraced at such an early age (being delivered from peoples opinions). Good job, parents! 😇

You and your hair are so beautiful. I love that you say your hair is delicate and that you know your own hair. Great to see your confidence.

[@janaelove1071]

This is exactly how I grew out my hair, I did almost nothing but twists and scalp braids and my hair was at my shoulders one year and the next I'm past armpit length, my hair is thick but I want it a little bit thicker. I'm striving for mid back length. And I'm also homeschooled (:

[@ladyluo]

You and your hair are gorgeous. So well spoken. Just a lovely girl. I hope your confidence inspires other girls.

Why would anyone dislike this video 😱 Keep doing you girl! You have a great personality + all those styles were & are cute!

[@saltychocolate1985]

I agree. 100 %

[@reginayfavors]

The most important thing about wearing our hair natural is that we are developing a relationship with our hair! We can still wear wigs and weaves. I do when I want to give it a rest. But we never really developed a relationship with our own hair until this trend of wearing it natural. I love your voice!!

[@ATSW77]

Wonderful advice...beautiful girl, beautiful hair. God bless.

I love all those braids styles. Wear it with confidence, people will love it...not that it matters what people think abt your hair. I'm glad you overcame and conquered your hair. You are beautiful and a strong young lady. I'm so proud of you and thanks for sharing those bomb hairstyles. I'm going to start doing them and hope my hair grows as beautiful and as long as yours

Beautiful hair. Glad you no longer care what others think of your styles. We all are different and have to do what's best for us. God bless you.

Pusheen sameeeee! Half the time i didnt even care of people stared because they think i look cute i just dont like people looking at me at all😭😭😖😖

[@makesense9927]

Caring so much what people think causes anxiety. Paulo Coelho said "It is not our business what people think about us". I know it's hard but focus more on what you think about yourself. People only give you the credit they give themselves.

[@amazingjay6044]

[@mthefangirl4956]

Girl I can agree w this. I did the braids thing for like there weeks during exams and my hair moved from just above my collar bone to just below it.

[@breYah777]

My opinion doesn’t matter, but you were rocking those mini braids, imma do that protection style TONIGHT lol♥️

[@khanimoon]

Keeping hair away definitely does help growth! When I was in middle school all I did was wear buns or twist my hair into a little crown and literally my hair grew back soo freakin fast. I’m so tempted to start doing that again cuz I’ve been struggling to grow my hair for a while now (I keep “trimming” it tho my fault 🙄). I made myself a promise to not dye my hair anymore till it gets to the length I want it. It’s soo hard when you want long hair 😩 especially for us curly heads

My hair actually grows pretty quickly. Like an inch a month. But it’s hair retention that I struggle with. Your hair is absolutely beautiful.
