How I Tame My Crazy Hair!!! GRWM - HAIR Edition

[@pwilliams6328]

If this is "crazy hair" to you, then I can only imagine what you think of my kinky/curly 4a natural hair. You'd probably think it subhuman... Anyhow, your hair is beautiful in its natural state. I see now that black women aren't the only ones who fall victim to the "good hair" "bad hair" categorization. That saddens me. Thin straight hair is beautiful. Full straight hair is beautiful. Wavy hair is beautiful. Curly hair is beautiful. Kinky hair is beautiful. "Good hair" is hair that is well nourished.

[@LifeDIY]

P Williams, you inspired me to reply back to your comment from 3 years ago. :) I am sure your kinky curly 4a hair is absolutely gorgeous and stunning! I myself am just learning to accept my wavy/curly hair as I hadn't even known I had this type of hair (due to being raised and taught to blow dry it straight all the time). So, I hear you. Now, I am just learning to let it be and become as healthy as possible finally. Thank you for your comment and shedding some light on things. :)

[@lisagonzalez8957]

You’re absolutely right!! It’s interesting how incredibly important hair is to us humans. As a kid my hair was “too thick” to wear down, as far as my family was concerned. Then as a teenager I wanted super big hair and got permanents. Now I color my hair to cover grey. I try to appreciate my hair now....it’s funny.

[@brookejones6363]

I realize this is an older video, but I just found your channel and I’m LOVING all your videos! I’ve just had my 41st birthday this month and was feeling super bummed about getting older and after sEwing how beautiful you are over 40 it’s given me inspiration to step up my anti aging game! Lol THANK YOU! We have VERY similar hair as well so I LOVE these hair videos and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see how you cut your own hair! I haven’t looked to see if you’ve made that video yet if not PLEASE DO! I have a list of products to buy! Lol thanks! Keep the real and awesome videos coming!!

[@nadrapacci]

I love your hairstyle Jenifer! Can you make a video how you cut your hair, please? I love your channel and your sense of humor. Thank you!

[@nbleck1940]

Love you videos! I just turned 40 and I've been watching your night time and morning skin routines and trying to apply those to my routines. Also, my hair has different textures in different sections and very wavy and I've found that the INSTYLER rotating curling iron gives a very smooth and shiny look. I use it as a flat iron but it takes some practice but so worth it. I stopped using the flat b/c it doesn't give the shine like the INSTYLER. Thought I would share. God Bless

[@TheWizOfKeyz]

N Bleck Sorry! I dont mean to butt in! But the in styler is AMAZING...! Isnt it?! I had the original silver & orange one, i used to use it every day. And i freaking LOVED it. But it finally broke and i got a regular flat iron again cause theyre cheaper. And i forgot how much i loved the instyler. But youre totally right! It dosent creat near as much shine, or that nice little finished bend at the ends like the instyler does, and i swear to god that for some reason my hair was sooo much healthier back when i was using instyler as opposed to a regular flat iron. Not sure why that is...but im gonna have to buy a replacement finally and go back to using instyler. Screw this flat iron bs! my hairs already badly damaged enough as it is...lol

[@Melissa55]

You are just so pretty Jenifer You really are. And you have gorgeous hair. You do a terrific job styling it. Thank you so much for showing how you did this. I loved it. xoxox, Melissa

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Thank you Melissa! And likewise. I just think you are gorgeous! Hope you have a fabulous evening! :)

[@robinallgold360]

My hair is also wavy, light weight, and frizzy. Every year for the past 5 or 6 years I have gotten my hair permanently straightened at the beginning of June. That way I do not have to use any hot tools on my hair. And it usually lasts until the end of winter. I also love the Joico conditioners, I found them at my beautician's a couple of years ago. My hair has been amazing since I started using them. Funny about the music, the reason I get my hair straightened is because I go to the Creation Music Festival every year at the end of June, here in Pennsylvania. It is a camping experience, so it difficult to use styling tools. I love listening to music live, it is so fun.

[@Cinder1987]

Join the thick hair club, Jenifer! You know I used to lose patience with my hair years back because it was so time consuming to style. But, I've had so many people over the years say how lucky I am to have thick hair. I'm sure you get the same. While other people are trying to get their hair to grow and be thicker we were blessed to be born with it already. When I don''t have time to style, I put it up in a bun and done! Angela :)

[@karendinning5144]

Hi Jenifer! Girl - first of all (and most importantly!) - stop being so negative about yourself!! Stop apologizing for things!! You are so naturally gorgeous that any one of us would love to look like you!! And yes - we ARE interested in everything you show us and how you do everything!! You always make great videos because you just somehow know what we all love to see!! So keep up the great work girl!! I’m 60 years old and you remind me so much of what I was like at your age and I think I still look pretty dern good at my age!! I have the exact same hair as yours (and it’s still “base colored and highlighted and it’s still long - a little past my shoulders!) I too wash and condition my hair twice a week, let it dry naturally, alternate between moisturizing and keratin-based conditioners (I read up on things a lot also!), have fine hair but a ton of it so I’m lucky at my age, and I keep it very healthy! I used to color my own hair and cut it myself also when I was your age. It took me a long time to find a hairdresser who would color and cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it to be. But I found her and she’s wonderful! I guess I got tired of doing it myself and I also wanted to feel pampered a little!! I do my own nails (mainly because it’s just easier and also because I do not want to take a chance on contracting a nail fungus 😝). I take very good care of my oily/combo skin on my face AND body. I am 5 ft 6 inches tall and weigh 110 pounds and concentrate on keeping muscle tone. I’ve never been on a diet of any kind - I just naturally like healthy foods. My mom and dad are thin and it’s just the body type I was born with. I firmly believe that you are born with a certain body type and it’s very hard to change it but some people are so determined to do it that they can make it happen! Anyway - Jenifer, get that confidence up and know that you are a gorgeous woman (inside and out!) and feel it, girl!!!! Love you! Karen from Alabama

[@heathernelson9142]

My hair texture is JUST like yours! I am SO impressed by how beautiful you make your hair with styling. I wish that I was even half as skilled at taming my mane as you are!

[@slohmann4409]

Just a tip, I have thick and wavy hair and what I find is if you leave the iron longer time than running it three times it’s faster and easier on you hair..not to mention you can curl the ends to make them not so frizzy. You will see how much quicker your hair is to straighten without the frizz especially on the back. Plus use a hair oil after for shine and less frizz..hope this helps

[@peggyoberlander9774]

Wow Jenifer, I can not believe you color and cut your own hair. I just love how you use and do so much that saves money. You are so informed. Love how you show us how to get good results saving money too. Thank you.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Thank you! I'm definitely frugal, but I'm also very much a DIY type of girl. I even took matters into my own hands recently and tattooed my eyebrows because they were getting so thin and sparse. Ha! Now THAT was scary! But I'm glad I did it. 😃

[@melissabennett3691]

@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty do you have a video on how you color your hair? I would love to see how you do it. I too am a t zone silver girl. Lol. It gets so expensive to upkeep. Thanks for sharing this one!

[@Iheart2cook]

I thought your hair was beautiful natural. You're way too hard on yourself. You almost had natural beachy waves, for real! You could take that and with a little product and technique, have gorgeous beachy waves. I loved the idea of adding the Pantene leave in conditioner to a spray bottle. I'm gonna have to give that a try. TFS!

[@suzannecosper8144]

Iheart2cook agree!

[@victoriaaydelott6187]

Oh girl, so glad you shared! We have almost identical natural hair! Thank you for all your tips on making it look beautiful!

[@sgnorris]

My hair is similar to yours. Curly in parts, kinky in parts, almost totally silver and color treated. I used to blow dry and flat iron my hair until I saw a video about the L’ange LeVite. It’s a piece of cake to use, I can straighten my hair in seven minutes and mine is longer than yours, it doesn’t damage your hair. Another suggestion, just switch it up a bit, is to use the curly girl method. You will be amazed at the ringlets that you can achieve. Love mine and I never thought I would say that since I always hated my frizzy hair.

[@BeautyByAnneMarie]

Hi Jenifer! I loved this video and our hair is similar with the frizz. I have not tried the Joico products much (I think I've had one or two of their hair care items) and want to try that moisture conditioner. I love your hair, it looks so nice and healthy! You look gorgeous always. I am like you, I need my music while I get ready! I hope you have a wonderful day! xoxo Anne

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

I'm telling you Marie-Anne, I think we were like separated at birth or something. Lol! We have so much in common! I'm waiting for your next video to come out! You're probably editing it right now. ;) Hope you have a wonderful evening

[@jomama81ranch8]

Jenifer.... I swear we have the same hair!! Just watched your videos of coloring and highlighting ... and what you are showing now, is EXACTLY what my hair looks like when it dries on its own! My hair is worse because it is longer and layered! But my hair is really straight, and not wavy, but looks like waves like that drying naturallyt. But mine is hard to curl, and just blow drying it will straighten it. I use coconut oil mixed with a little jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, and argon oil ... mixed together, and combed in at least 2 times a week. I use it in the morning, tie it up in a pony tail, and wash it out at night. I use the Loreal Ever Pure shampoos and conditioners for color treated hair.... and then use "It's a 10" leave in conditioner when wet, then dry it. After about 3 months, my hair is so silky and soft, and shiny all the time, and it doesn't tangle as easily either.My hair had been dry and rough feeling prior to discovering this! --- I can "grease up" my hair easier than most, because we live out on a ranch and I can go do all my outside stuff and never have to worry about somebody other than my husband seeing me! LOL I am sure I am quite a site at times!! Love your videos!

[@brendav8666]

Great hair tutorial for those of us with the coarse wavy hair. Mine has gotten waiver as I've gotten older too. Your hair looked beautiful when you finished. I really like the John Frieda heated styling brush. It gives me the closest thing to a salon blowout. Really looking forward to your hair color video and would Ike to see you cut it too. Have a great rest of the weekend.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Thank you Brenda for your kinds words and for that suggestion! I'm going to have to google that Brush. :) I will be making hair coloring video in the next couple of weeks for sure! I'm trying to let my hair grow out a little so I'm not sure about a hair-cutting video anytime soon. But sooner or later I'm sure that one will make it into my library of videos. ;) Hope you have a wonderful week!

[@christineh2843]

I wanted to thank you for showing us your hair routine. You are so beautiful and have such a sweet personality...and so genuine. So refreshing! I also like how you interact with us in the comment section as well. I just think your channel is a breath of fresh air :) You have a new subscriber!

+Jenifer Jenkins ....Thank you Jennifer , and I hope the same for you :)

[@kimberlyann2452]

Thanks for sharing this. I've really been wanting to try doing my own color and highlights. I actually bought the stuff at Sally's once and chickened out and returned it all. Lol! I have a very similar amount of grey as you but naturally red hair that has faded to a light warm brown. Tricky, but I think I can touch up what my stylist has done and gradually take over with help from your video. The demi color over the highlights to tone down the brassy was what I couldn't figure out so thank you! I'd love to see how you cut it😉

[@kimberlyann2452]

I was commenting on your hair color/highlight video. Must've had this one pulled up!

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Hi Kim! Yes, that was the part that was tricky for me to figure out as well. Until I learned about the Color Wheel and how to cancel out unwanted colors. If you are using toners or demi-permanents, you basically just choose a *base color* OPPOSITE (on the color wheel) of the color you're trying to cancel out. But your toner always has to be a tad bit darker than the shade you're putting it on top of, otherwise nothing will happen. It can be a little tricky and a little scary. Good Luck! :)

[@trishabee2229]

Your hair actually looks beautiful in its natural state

[@jennifers2534]

I agree with your husband that you should also wear your hair with the smooth wave. The heat protectant spray with the leave in looks great right before you straighten it. It gives a nice smooth looking wave. Your straight hair looks gorgeous too.

[@emoosemoose]

Your videos are always so pleasant to watch. I can totally relate to the super-humid climate. New Orleans' humidity is off the charts July-September. Lived here all my life and I still struggle to adapt to it! Love your earrings, by the way. :)

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+emoosemoose Ugh!!! The humidity! My skin loves it! My hair, not so much. :/ Hope you have a great weekend!

[@juliebarnes7425]

No offense but WOW! And kudos to you for showing us your BEFORE hair. It Looks Soooo Nice when it's done! Thanks for a great video. I just bought a straightener for my color treated 49 yr old hair. And THX bc you have just saved me tons of research. I'm on a hair quest

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Lol! Thank you! 😁 It's not always easy to allow yourself to be completely vulnerable and allow the world to see you looking crazy, but if it helps other women I'm all for it! All I know is, I'm SO GLAD someone invented the Straightner!! 😉

[@terribemer3490]

I love all your tips it’s like talking to my sister in a way I look forward to watching your tertorials.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Thank you so much Terri! ❤️

[@litew8]

I can't believe you cut your own hair!! It looks so professionally cut! I've taken scissors to my hair too many times and I always regret it!

[@rodewest7]

Yes I do that too coconut oil with a hair wrap overnight, though I usually put the coconut oil in when my hair is washed, as it absorbed better in the hair follicle. x

[@rodewest7]

+tk2 Ktt *on wet hair

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+tk2 Ktt I usually do too...put it in my hair when it's wet...for the same reason. Sometimes I'll even wrap it in a hot towel from the dryer. However, occasionally, I will smother it right onto my dry hair. ;) If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?

[@rebeccalouise1815]

yes i am totally a Joico fan and i have been using them for years soo glad I can find them at my local TJ Maxx now

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+Rebecca Hussey Yes, they're always at TJ Maxx or Marshalls!! Love the scent too!! :)

[@michaelerichphillips]

You and I are so similar Jenifer, it's really weird! My hair does that funky wave thing too and I am unable to walk out the door with air dried hair! My husband loves it like that but I think I look like a witch haha! I have been going gray or silver for quite some time and I got so sick of the maintenance on it that I have let my hair grow naturally! Seriously, not even a week after I had dyed it my grays would be peeking though! It's actuality been quite liberating to not worry about dying my hair! Sometimes I will see a gorgeous hair color and want to dye my hair again but then I think of the maintenance and remember what a pain it was. I don't know why I am yammering on and on but I just want to say I know how you feel with the wavy and coarse hair! You just seem like such a cool person! Seriously! I love your channel! Thanks for making the videos that you do because I relate so much to them! Have a fantastic day!

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

That is so funny Connie!! I feel like I look like a witch too!! Lol! My older sister has the type of hair that can just air dry and look fabulous! It makes me so jealous. ;) And I totally know what you mean about the silvers growing in so fast. I swear I have to touch up my t-section (part and hairline) at least every 2 weeks, just to feel like I look presentable because it's such a contrast. But I'm glad I can do it myself, otherwise I'd be spending a fortune and wasting a ton of time at hair salons! Thank you for watching and commenting! You're awesome!

[@Leslielu2u]

Oh my gosh Jenifer. You are so pretty, and I totally need to start checking my hair in the very back with a mirror. I straighten mine also but there is always a place in the back that looks like a hump. Boy the lengths we go to for a good hair day. My stylist just cut 3 inches from my hair and Im afraid my face looks even chubbier than before. Lol! Oh well ...it will grow back. I appreciate your videos. I tried your idea of coffee grounds under my eyes and my husband thinks Im losing it, but I think it may be helping. Have a fabulous weekend.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+Leslielu's reviews! Lol!! My husband is so used to seeing me with coffee grounds under my eyes, it doesn't even phase him anymore. :) And yes...the lengths we'll go to! And btw, round faces are very youthful looking. Heck, nowadays women are getting fillers to get what you have naturally! Hope you're have a fantastic weekend!

[@bytkdesign]

yes, please messy bun turorial.. thank u for all the info. & how to video on crazy hair.. enjoyed very much..your hair reminds me of my own except mine is very fine.. as when I first started watching this video I thought yours was fine also. Do the products u use keep the hair from curling or frizz when humidity is high??

[@katkenzie3834]

Best way to tell if your heat protectant is working: spray or rub lotion on the back of your hand. Use hair dryer and shoot air at temp used normally on your hand. You should not feel heat on that area of hand. I've had lots of fails with drugstore products..but cream kerastase and pureolgy protectant are awesome. You can really tell the difference. Try it out 😉

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Wow! That's so interesting!! I am definitely going to test that out, thank you! And thank you for the product suggestions. 😊

[@katkenzie3834]

Jenifer Jenkins anytime. I've been loving your videos. Great range of content, newly subbed 🤗

[@billyjeffery1079]

Hi Jen love your videos im 45 and seeing you doing tutorials makes my day. not many over 30's are interesting enough to watch 😊 anyway i know you have problems with under eyes and now with fluffy hair. i have found an amazing product id love you to do for other beautifully aged woman to try. its cold pressed Jojoba oil and costs approx 3.00 pound if you put this on very very very lightly under eyes before concealer it rids of creasing or put over finished makeup for a smooth eye with NO creasing. also add a few drops of this in your shampoo for beautiful soft hair. AMAZING please do a video...the difference is instant.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Hi Kimberley! Thank you for your kind words and for that suggestion! I actually love jojoba oil and do add it to some of my DIYs! I've even used it under my eyes as you suggested to help with creasing. I watched a video by Beauty and the Boutique where she suggested using it that way and have even passed that video along to some of my subscribers. I've never considered using it in my hair, but I'm definitely going to experiment with that! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching! Hope you have a fantastic day!

it's great that you have those cute curls because they give you great body and volume when straightened! yaass!

You Sam, that's the one thing that I DO like about having the natural bird's nest that I have. After I've styled it, it does look like I have some body. But now the secret's out! Lol! Your hair is gorgeous!!

[@MsLisaBrooks]

I have coarse hair similar to yours. I have a recommendation that will make your straightening routine so much quicker. Spend the extra $$ on a higher quality flat iron. I am using a Jilbere by ConAir professional. It is a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inch. The wide plate and high temperature capacity gets my hair straight fast. I tried the less expensive flat irons and they took forever and didn't work that well. I got my flat iron at Sally's Beauty Supply. I hope you try it and do a review!

[@SheriAnne0711]

Thanks for listing all the products you used in your video! I may go to Marshalls today to look for that conditioner!😊

[@jennifersmith1863]

I'm struggling with having to wash my hair everyday because I excercise everyday. Do you work out everyday if so what do you do with your hair the days you don't wash it? I'd love to see how you do your messy bun

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Hi Jennifer! I do not work out every day, but on the days that I do, I will wash it for sure! I just don't like messing with it every day because as you saw it takes for EVER! Lol! Which is why I wear a messy bun 3-4 days a week. I will definitely throw a messy bun tutorial into an upcoming video! It's so easy, and I do it while my hair is still a tad bit damp so that the hair lays the way that I want it too and I can take advantage of my natural wave. :) Hope you have a wonderful evening!

It can be a bit of a challenge can't it? :) When I used to occasionally go to a salon to get my hair highlighted, I always insisted on leaving with my hair wet because I didn't want anyone to see how it looked dried, before using a straightening iron.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+toybiz1 I used to do a ponytail a lot too, but if I don't have to, I don't like to wash my hair everyday. It's too much hassle and I don't think it's good for my already, extremely dry and coarse hair. So I prefer the bun over the ponytail because a slept on ponytail for me, never looks good the next day. But a messy bun does! Lol! I'm definitely going to throw a quick bun tutorial into one of my next videos! It's SO easy!! Hope you have a wonderful evening! And if you don't mind me asking, I'd love to know your name. :)

I will definitely be doing a hair coloring video in the next few weeks, but I'm trying to grow my hair out, so I'm not sure I'll be doing a hair cutting video anytime soon. And I'm a little afraid to do that. I can just imagine the comments should someone try what I do and it doesn't work out. Different textures often times require different styles of cutting. :) Thank you for watching! Hope you have a lovely evening!

Hi, your channel popped up as recommended in my feed. I've always been into skincare so I'm finding your videos really helpful. My hair is similar to yours in style but mine super frizzy and curly, think Sara Jessica Parker! I also can't just go out with au natural and it's so impossible to deal with in the summer and after a workout etc.. I would love to see how you cut your hair. I've been cutting and messing with colour and highlights my whole life, so my stylist never knows what to expect. I think I should have become a hair stylist because I LOVE cutting my hair, just not the results. lol. It looks like you're doing a much better job than me, so please share! ...Amy

South Texas frizzy girls, unite! (I’ve just discovered your channel today. Can you tell by how far back I’m going?) I’ve recently decided to stop or curtail blow drying my hair. I call it rock ‘n roll hair. Haha! We’ll see how the Houston humidity treats me.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

A Texas girl too? Woohoo! So you totally get it then. Lol! Since this video, I swear my hair has even gotten curlier, it crazy! 🤪😁😘

[@KODoch48]

aTimeAsThis - Explore the "curly girl method"! Everything from slighty wavy ("beachy") to super curly applies to this method! Basically it teaches you how to tame your frizz and make it pretty, smooth/defined waves or curls. I predict in 10 more years you both will understand exactly how damaged (and "heat tamed" resulting in dry/damaged straight parts) your hair actually is, when the bottom seems thinner (damaged part breaking off point) and your dye just doesn't seem to adhere (to cover graying)long and/or is dull looking. Not trying to be critical, just "been there/done that"! The CG method is a god-send and takes no more time than all the work put into achieving straight/smooth hair styles. Look up "Curly Suzie" channel for EASY CG routines (don't fall for the super complicated, product-heavy pushing channels!). There's a learning curve, so be patient .... Your hair will heal over time as you cut off the damaged areas! Jennifer has wavier hair than she thinks ... because all the years of coloring and straightening with heat have "retrained" her curl pattern! Lastly .... GELS are your BFF ... Learn what a "Cast" is with using them (in all weather points) ... They are HUGE in achieving that defined/smooth/shiney look you are wanting with your natural hair! Good luck ... Hope you research this advice! 😊 (P.S. You are BOTH super beautiful women!!)

[@susantaffe5956]

I cut my own hair (layers too) also. Please please please do a video of you cutting your hair!! 🙂

[@annikalad]

Yes, I would like to see your messy bun and I would LOVE to see how you cut your hair!

[@KatarinaS.]

Have you done a how I cut my own hair video yet? I cut my own hair at home, have for about 10 years. I'm your age and I cut my 3 grown daughters' hair too. I like your cut and style and would love a haircut tutorial from you. Please do!

[@taratadema212]

I have hair just like yours, Jenifer, except I think mine is twice as big when it dries naturally. It takes forever to get under control and looking normal. Got my eye cream and Glycolic toner (Derma E) and love them both. Thanks for the recommendations :)

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Tara, that's wonderful!! I'm glad you liked those suggestions! It's funny because if my husband's in the house when I'm letting my hair dry and happens to walk into the room, I quickly grab my hair and hold it in my hand behind my head like a ponytail. Lol! I feel like nobody can take me seriously with my giant clowny witch hair. Hahaha! And yes, it takes FOREVER to do! Hope you had a wonderful evening!

[@awraley1923]

Looking forward to the hair color video!

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+AW Raley I'll have that one out by this weekend for sure!

[@awraley1923]

oh good! I'll keep an eye out for it!

[@tsariaalbrecht1009]

my word! you have to see my hair... i have curls and it is dry. it is NUTS!!!! and it totally is beyond impossible. i think your hair is easy to take care of. yeah you have waves but no ringlets... again i have those is it is like a corkscrew.

[@mrshockeygal]

I think you have beautiful hair! I can relate though as I have struggled all my life with wavy/curly and a bit of unruly hair. I enjoyed watching you straighten your hair and I got some tips! Thank you :-)

[@adeletrimble4046]

I tried using my heat spray like you recommended today, and let it dry first before curling.... No sizzle. Hopefully it's better for my poor frizzy nest!

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+Adele Trimble Lol! Yes, I don't like to hear sizzling when I'm styling my hair. :)

[@andja81]

I would love to see how you do a messy bun tutorial, ​please!

[@melissas8308]

Great hair tutorial. You really transformed it :)

[@dawnirving7285]

Hi Jenifer! Loving your videos :) Paul Mitchell makes a heat protectant called "Hot off the Press", and it doesn't make your hair wet at all. it goes on with almost a powder consistency. You may want to try it; it's great :)

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Oh wow! Thank you Dawn, I love the sound of that! I wonder if I could pick that up at my local grocery store. Out of curiosity, do you have coarse hair? That's my biggest issue for sure!

[@dawnirving7285]

Some stores are carrying Paul Mitchell products now, but for sure most salons do. My hair is alot like yours. I have to straighten it, or round brush it dry, or its completely frizzy :)

[@mariejoy5970]

It's looks lovely, I sympathise with you, I live in Gibraltar Europe, we are surrounded on 3 sides by water! The Mediterranean and Atlantic Sea, and frizzy hair is my nightmare! In the morning I look like I've been dragged through a hedge, backwards!! 😂😂😂😂 so it's daily battle!

[@heidigeebee5870]

Mine looks the same when I let it dry naturally. And I also do the same routine with the flat iron days and messy bun days, lol. Must be the texture!

[@susanschafer1248]

Hi Jenifer, If you ever decide to go all natural with color, I think you would look stunning with platimum hair. I have an aunt that did that and she actually looked so much younger with her silver/platinum hair. I'm thinking of trying platinum myself. You are so beautiful. Love your videos. x, SS

[@jenn7753]

I honestly think your natural hair is pretty. Look around on their channels, girls are spending a ton of time to get that wavy look. I think you could use a little bit of product to tame the fluffier pieces, add a bit of wave to the front and you'd be good to go. I love your "after" look too though.

[@jenn7753]

And I hope you don't take this as negative but I find the music while you're talking to be a little distracting. I really don't think you need it

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

+Jennifer Miller Thank you for that suggestion. I didn't know if people would get bored without a little background music. Maybe I have it a little too loud. Will keep that in mind next time. Thank you for those tips on my hair! I think if I grow it out a bit, the weight might help tame the shorter layers. I think I might experiment with that in the future. :) Have a lovely evening!

[@luvmybabies16]

I've been trying lately not to use a hair dryer on my hair either and I also have to straighten it with a flat iron. My question is, do you wash your hair in the morning or at night? If you wash it in the morning how many hours do you have to wait for it to fully dry so you can straighten it? I find that it takes almost all day for my hair to fully dry and it wastes my whole day before I can straighten it and go out. Also, did you ever make the messy bun tutorial video? I looked for it but didn't see it.

[@TheWizOfKeyz]

Katie Erin try washing your hair at nite! Cause then itll be at least 50% dry by morning, (if you have super gnarly thick hair like me lol) or maybe even fully dry, if your hair is closer to "normal" texture. Doing this has helped me cut wayyy way back on the number of hrs i used to spend waiting around for my hair to finally be dry enough for styling! And if you DO absolutely insist on washing it in the morning for some reason, then my other favorite trick is to sit directly below a large fan that i use to blow as much water out of my hair as possible as im going about my normal get ready routine. So... as im sitting there doing my makeup, eating my breakfast, answering emails, surfing the web, whatever, etc... i keep the fan pointed at my head & set on medium. I set it up a little higher than head height, so that it always hits my hair at a downward angle. (Creates less frizz) Like i said, i have CRAZY thick, curly/frizzy hair. And i can basically "rough dry" my hair with this method in ahh... about 45 minutes, id say. (Even faster if its summer.) & By that time im already done doing my makeup & the rest of my a.m. routine, and my hair's dry enough for heat styling. Try it! itll make your life soo much easier. 👌 peace ✌😉

[@kellyhickmansreclaimeddock8099]

yes, rock that curly hair girl!! cute both ways

[@yvetteastley6794]

Jenifer, how often do you use the straighteners on your hair per week.

[@doriannemifsud8690]

You have beautiful hair. What do you use to keep your lights from not going brassy? Do you use silver shampoo? Thanks 💕

[@lisareneedugger8844]

You hair looks so good, I would have never known your hair was course! Mine is stick straight and fine.....different set of issues!!!

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

I know what you mean Lisa!! My older sister's hair is really straight and fine, and I just think it is so beautiful!! She can let it dry naturally and it looks just as it would if she blew dry it. But she complains about it too because she has to wash it every single day otherwise it gets oily. We all want what we don't have huh? I sure do appreciate your comments! :)

[@alexperry2416]

wow that sure looks like a lot of work! your natural hair did not look bad at all.

[@michellekuykendall2699]

I was just wondering, have you ever tried the Its a 10 leave in miracle? If so, would you say that the mixture you making at home comparable? I love the Its a 10 but it is so expensive, so having something that works just as well at a lower price would be great. Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@KimberlyJ424]

Show us how you cut your hair! Love it.

[@Cash4GA]

Gorgeous as always!! I have the frizzies too!! xoxo

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Hi Tambrei! The wave in your hair looks uniform and healthy! What do you use for your frizzies?

[@Cash4GA]

I use a leave-in conditioner, mousse, and weekly treatments with some miracle stuff that I came across...I can't think of it right now, but I had someone ask me for a video on it, so I may do a short video just showing the products that I use. Have you ever tried the Instyler to straighten? That's what I use when I do straighten it. xoxo

[@angiebethea2179]

Your hair looks great!!!

[@sarahstroud6021]

have you tried the its a 10 leave in conditioner?its pricey but i swear it turns my hair into silk!!you can get a big bottle on amazon for the cost of a small bottle!!

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

I'm glad to hear that! One of my other subscribers mentioned it as well. Do you have naturally coarse/frizzy hair like I do?

[@Michelle-dy6dw]

how do you keep for getting flat iron lines in your hair where you first grip it? thanks

[@brookesoldiersunite3325]

have I tried suave professionals Keratin infusion or the Morrocan one.Hg amazing amazing amazing line.

[@msjonesss]

My curl is in the back right at the root. Like finger waves. Try and get in there to straighten lol.

[@Mrsdeanroad]

Oh I LOVE your long videos. Please don't shorten them 😘

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

Lol! Thank you! :)

[@neils.540]

Too chatty!

[@lululocks2894]

I have curly frizzy hair and straighten it, would love to leave it natural but wouldn't dare lol!

[@KimberlyJ424]

Please do a video on how you cut your hair!

[@gr8fulgirl7]

I'm going to try some of these products. What are the ounces on that little green bottle? My daughter has really long wavy hair and I'd love to try your mix...... Thx

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

I love your "name"! That's neat. It's a 2oz bottle that I picked up at Walmart. And yes. It works pretty much like a detangler, and smells great, but doesn't weigh my daughters hair down at all! Hope you have a lovely evening!

[@anamal5803]

Please do empties video :) love your channel!

[@urskaspan4598]

Have you ever tryed vapour hair straightener?
