AMEN! Natural hair loves water! Oil is not a moisturizer. Oils lock in moisturizer. Use oils after moisturizing.

[@liaray87]

I get so disheartened as I’m 4.5 years natural now and my hair is around your length I’d say and I guess from the reaction some people give me when they hear how long I’ve been natural,and also social media influence, in my head I’m like damn my hair should be down my back by now. Il never go back to relaxers but I do feel I’ve become fed up with not being able to retain length 😞 I definitely need to assess my hair regime!!

[@tyneshiatrinity3715]

You are not alone.... Im so glad that she made the genetics comment..... Just keep it as healthy as you sis.. You will still get compliments ❤️

[@latoyamurrell368]

At least you have length, I’ve bee natural for 7 years and its as long as the first day i cut it. I’m so tired I’m about to get a relaxer and get it cut into a pixie cut.

Take collagen and ashwagandha supplements this is a game changer

[@goldyd144]

Deep conditioning with a Bonnet attachment changed the game for me too. Adding heat is so necessary. Don't discount it, ladies!

[@boricua584]

It actually leaves my hair feeling worse when I use heat. Like more dry and brittle. I just did it with a shower cap for one hour and it feels so nice and I didn’t even need a comb to brush it

@@boricua584 That's cool too! Not everything works for everybody. The important thing is to listen to your hair, after all. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

heat is not always good. Sort of like frying your hair. Water on the other hand is great. Everyday if you can.

How do you wear wigs and not break off your hairline?? I wear wigs too but my edges are suffering, any tips please??

[@_K-W_]

I'm doing the same. My hair has grown faster than ever just leaving it alone. @@melxkelx1022 Don't wear wigs on the hairline, avoid using adhesives, & don't sleep in them.

[@MalikahJ]

I agree with learning your hair texture. The first year of my healthy hair journey, I thought I had heat damage in the front because of the loose texture compared to the crown But after the first year I realized I had 2 drastically different textures growing from my scalp. I actually have 3 textures but the the 3c and 4c really stand out.

[@mikaelav8964]

same!!!

[@Kedesh14]

My hair is like that at the very front also. It barely has a curl pattern sometimes. I also thought I had heat damage and cut it off before I learned that is how it is🥲😢

[@ThankyouLord25]

I love my 4c hair! I did experience a lot of shedding last year but since taking Collagen my hair has grown more and I haven't experienced the shedding I once had. A Caucasian woman once stated to me that she loves when a woman of color wears an Afro, she stated that wearing an Afro shows that she is PROUD of who she is and has PRIDE in her culture. Great video and you look beautiful!

[@ManicMeeks]

The best part about the video was the look back at the camera after he used the bathroom. lol! omg....the greatest.

[@RihamOsman]

Your hair looks soooooo good and has grown so much! I remember when you were just getting started on your journey and it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come.

[@marlie5048]

I remember when you first went natural feels like yesterday. When you said you haven’t used heat in almost 2 years I couldn’t believe it’s been that long, crazy loved the video 🤗.

[@KLB1218]

Your hair is extremely beautiful and full and healthy!

[@liinliin7128]

I've been thinking that by just having my hair braided all the time will help it grow...now I know that I don't have to have my hair in a protective style all of the time and I just need to protect it with simple nourishment and a bonnet on my head! Thank you for these tips Joy-el!

[@Marieluv1972]

I use the Revair. And I love it. It is better than a blow dryer. It doesn't get as hot as a regular blow dryer.

[@Silkyslim48]

Of all the advice I've heard for loving your natural hair this is at the top. Especially the last 5 minutes or so is what a lot of newly natural hair women need to hear. 🙋🏾‍♀️❣

Love your tips. By far the best video I've watched. I'm learning to accept my hair the way it is. It's very similar to yours. For so long I've been trying to get it to look like someone else's which leads to frustration . Thank you

[@jennahamrick3.086]

You have to be the sweetest person ever❤️ we love you !

[@levandhisdemons6087]

Mild heat isn’t too detrimental and as long as the flat iron is not hot enough to fry your hair and you do one pass you’re fine. I use a blow dryer on low heat to my hair because it’s low porosity and the heat helps with water absorption. I don’t blow dry it dry I just blow dry it enough that my hair can soak up the water and products on my hair after I’ve washed it

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

I absolutely agree with you on water, a open secret that has been kept from us. Water is what our hair needs.

[@00weirdo67]

I don't even know how I got here, I'm a white girl with the straightest hair known to man, but I watched some of your older videos and WOW! I get you being apprehensive about going natural and how some people were mean about it, cause we as a society just aren't used to seeing a biracial girl with white skin and a black fro. That being said, everyone is right. You have such striking facial features and watching this video with your more lengthy hair I'm just enamored. You look AMAZING. The ends of your hair have like lightened and they look beautiful with your skin. God gave you such contrasting features because he knew you'd grow into them. You were always beautiful but dayummm people who can't see that now are trippin.

[@Briellenicnix]

This my second year too I started using green tea to help with shredding and it helps so much. I do twists and plats now I do twist and banding

[@fooloo993]

Thank you for this!! I may finally give in and deep condition. Also, a thing I learned about moisture vs. hydration from Susan Yara which OPENED MY EYES (slight exaggeration) is that oil=moisture, water=hydration, at least in skincare, but I don't think it would be that different from haircare. Branding uses the two interchangeably which I think adds to the confusion. Dehydrated skin (skin that is showing fine lines, is tight or sensitive) needs water, and skin that is dry (is flaky or feels rough) needs oil. No idea how this would translate to hair, but there might be something to it!

[@ilovelife3328]

Your hair is looking great! It's super thick!

[@ShaddeyNNM]

I've been natural for ages, I believe 10 years now, and it's been a rough journey to say the least. I noticed the following: I over the years I have developed sensitivity to the water in the country where I live now (the water is 'hard' as they say), which has my scalp in a hot mess, research has shown me that if your scalp isn't healthy your hair won't grow well. A doctor also mentioned hormonal issues which also explains why my skin and nails are a mess. So those are all things that we have to keep in mind when our hair doesn't grow. We might be doing the right things but changes in our bodies or our environment, or if we move to different countries, or even different regions within the same country, can all affect our hair. My hair was at it's best when I lived in Europe, and the water quality was better than where I live now.

[@FlowerfulPlants]

Also, I’m very happy to see your growth on the youtube platform!

[@JermaineAuNatural]

I’m so tired of my single strand knots! I’ve tried going without protective styling for 3 months and I’ve noted I get more knots when my hair is out compared to when I have braids. It’s really frustrating. I don’t know what to do now, I’m finna get braids in June (God willingly)

[@abeiradapraia]

This is why I always wear my hair in twist! I want to try a wash and go and wear my hair out, but I know my hair will be full of knots, so I just stick to twists and I get a lot less haha.

[@Mrs_Canary]

Knots=un moisturized . Wash hair/ deep condition more and trim

[@vitushka01]

naturalpn7 thank you!❤️

[@franklinbrooks7857]

It helps to keep your hair stretched. I notice a difference in my fairy knots when I wear more braidouts and protective styles. I save my fro for special occasions lol. Otherwise, my hair would be broken off.

[@honeymoon2766]

Hey Charmaine, I would like to address something that you said in your video about genetics. This is not a hate comment or even an angry comment, just food for thought. I understand why you put that disclaimer out there, but I'd like to talk about the subliminal message behind a statement like that because I hear a lot of black people (women more specifically) saying this. When we think about how white women grow their air we never think about their genetics. If genetics doesn't affect their hair growth as much, why would it affect us (black women) so much? This reminds me of how a few years ago black women would say that another was "mixed" or "Indian" as an excuse for why their hair was longer than another, instead of thinking about the regimen. It gives off an air of there being some lucky black girls who have beaten the odds rather than black girls who have healthy and proper hair care techniques. I will admit I am no hair expert, therefore I do not know about the specifics of hair genetics and how it effects women in different ways. And I know that there are a percentage of women whose hair is stunted significantly because of genetics no matter how healthy their is. I guess what I'm saying is if it it's not talked about in the white community or even the mixed race/biracial/type 3 community, why is it that the type 4 community, where most black women fall, is it an excuse that is used so commonly? Again, not a hate or chastising comment, just food for thought. Just a discussion that could maybe go somewhere. Or perhaps I am reaching? Has anyone else ever thought or experienced this? Your tips were spot on though. So many people have such high expectations, they just need to let it grow and let it flow.

[@marlenmartin4753]

Exactly ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

[@SharmaineJoyel]

Thank you for this! I apologize if it came across as if I was saying that our type 4 hair can't grow long. I meant it more as if someone's hair can grow 15" and yours is at 13.5", don't get upset because maybe that is the length that your hair can grow and vice versa. Your comment was very educational though and I do appreciate you taking the time to explain :)

[@honeymoon2766]

@@SharmaineJoyel No need to apologize! I know you meant no harm by it, but I figured at the very least it would make someone stop and think about it.

[@Teedimps1598]

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

I do think genetics plays a part in hair though, for all races. I personally have super thick coily hair with a defined curl patters. When me sister does my hair, sometimes her fingers bruise because my strands are so thick. Her hair on the other hand is kind of light, fluffy and thin. We have both the same parents, but it was just the luck of the draw.
