[@glitterbomb1119]

“Who’s hair is this????” I say after my hair does the thing™

[@sunni3402]

My exact words today as I achieved a gorgeous bantu not style (and even came across some defined JUICY curls) 😂

I'm surprised you didn't call your function of beauty name function of fluffnugget

[@Charming1322]

Girl watching you get to that realization really shows how much you have grown in you journey and (sounds weird coming from a stranger on the internet) I'm proud of you! Do your own thing and do what's best for your hair and what you think is worth the time and payout 👌🏾

I'm laying in my bed at 1am feeling shitty for no reason so I come to KZbin to find a fellow weirdo and you tell me to say something positive to myself and I paused the video and said the affirmations over my bed from my head and I felt better. Thank you.

[@memefree3101]

Can we talk about "editing Danielle's" eyewear🔥

[@Iwasonceanonionwithnolayers]

Right? I want new glasses and I've been looking for a...👀 frame of reference for a while. These are the glasses I want. They are big and gold and beautiful!

That's when you know you're making real, deep progress in your journey -- when you finally achieve the thing you've long coveted only to decide it ain't nothing and to want nothing more than to go back to the essence of you. 😌

[@a.brinae4701]

The energy she exudes is quite immaculate, I must say 👌🏾🖤

[@kerstiesweeney]

I cannot get over how beautiful her cheeks are. Every video I watch I think the same thing: 'Those are some gorgeous cheek bones!!' She's very beautiful in general, I just extra love the structure of her cheeks!! 💖💖💖

[@andynonymous6769]

For real

[@goldentimeofday2366]

Danielle, Ms. Danielle. You are like the MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ever! And there are many if them out there but YOU GIRL are beyond stunning. Just Sheesh girl.

[@ladeek4555]

Awwww I teared up when she unwrapped her first Bantu knot. I’m a cry baby....

[@juliaelkins6571]

I have seen multiple hair videos talking about function of beauty causing excessive shedding for them. Something to keep in mind I recognize that they are unique formulas so that doesnt mean it will be the case for you. Fluff Nugget looks stunning on this wash day.

[@lynnetastic]

YOU KILLED THAT ISH, MA! FluffNugget is *FLOURISHING*

[@shayfab97]

Guuuurll your hair is looking nice and THICC in that fro. I LOVE IT!!!!!

[@NappyFu]

Beautiful!!! 🥰🥰🥰👋🏿

[@NS-rl5dd]

First 20 seconds of this video was the single greatest intro in KZbin history. Love it

[@taylor3950]

I love that you had an epiphany about your fro, because I must say Fluffnugget was looking extra luscious today. Also, the little stickers might be selling me on that shampoo

[@LG-universe]

The beginning fro is like a cloud ☁️

[@MsSong2U]

You did it! ❤️ I would like to share these suggestions: 1. Make your sections larger for a more stretched wave pattern. 2. Part your hair on a side and do the knots to give a different frame to your face.

[@blessings4eva863]

That's good advice

[@MsSong2U]

blessings4eva Thank you. I would ❤️ to see her give these a try.

[@cailyfe]

I don’t even watch for the hair anymore, I watch for your personality & entertainment. You are so positive, gorgeous, and totally YOURSELF!! Thank you for this channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@cholericqlare]

I am looking at fluff nugget sideways. When did you get so full,girl?!!! Look at you🥰🥰

[@luma2179]

a reminder that 4c is beautiful and i am so grateful for every single high maintenance queen just curling and coiling away on my head... if only younger me crying on wash day could hear me say that

[@boydstewardship1353]

the thickness is unreal

[@SayPennita]

I think the issue is in aiming for leftovers. The great thing about a twist out is after the protective style of twists you get a bonus style at the takedown. Over a decade ago I got comb coils as a new natural and i remember the stylist explaining to me that a lot of women don't like natural styles so she wanted to make sure that i actually wanted to play with natural styles. Today in the natural hair community instead of learning cool natural styles it seems the focus is now more on changing curl pattern. I remember *flashback* when natural hair videos had a lot of fro hawks, creative twists, Banta etc. Now its hard to see those styles without weave or the focus being more on the takedown and changing of the look of hair curl pattern

[@rajamonae7629]

“The Bantu knots are cute but I just want my fro back”Love seeing the growth! In your hair and in you! 💕

[@eri102696]

I love bantu knots when you do them two days in a row. The definition is better and lasts longer. Also bigger sections makes looser curls. I RECOMMEND!! 😁💁🏾‍♀️

[@somedaysoon9551]

When she took down the first nantu knot, I actually started jumping up and down 🤣🤣🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@Baruch1girl]

Girl! At the beginning of the video I looked at your hair and said "who dis woman Harpo? " fluff nugget is FLOURISHING!!!

[@Setsunako6587]

LOVED the twist ending, especially the "very special message" to remind us all of how beautiful we are without trying 🥰🙌🏾

[@sphumessanctum7050]

Sis was like : NO to texturism. Mine doesn't need improvement so TAKE THAT! We love to see it 😍❤️.

[@Ehlaar]

That fro frames your face so well you are so beautiful... and I agree that a stretched fro beats a twist out any day

[@mystiqueessence6831]

I love my 4C, low porosity, fine hair!

[@AllysseMarie]

Okay the theme music while you were putting in the bantus had me feeling like I was riding on the back seat of my imaginary bae’s vespa through Rome...just me? Ok.

Danielle, please try rolling your hair using old lady PINK sponge rollers, wrapping the hair around the roller. Do this on blow dried hair with a styler. I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE IT.

I'm doing a bantu knot out on stretched hair today and hoping it comes out . Imma let it dry overnight as I usually do soooo hopefully its ok. I have not perfected actually doing the know so I'm a little scared. So happy with your love for your hair . My edges hates me right now but meh idk what to do about that!

[@TheStarPuppy]

Please update me when you take it down! Somebody needs to beat this thing! 🤣

[@selenagilbert5075]

@@TheStarPuppy I feel like you did it tho. I think I agree the final style is overrated . Doing it with sythetic hair wrapped around your own with some metal beads looks coolers and can double as a cute protective style

[@femmebrulee5053]

@@TheStarPuppy Um, your hair looks way thicker than it did a few months ago. Have you been taking some supplements or doing something else? Or is there some other secret you wish to share with people who have a sparsely populated scalp?

[@selenagilbert5075]

@@TheStarPuppy it has been completed. I like the way it looks. Didnt get beach wave curls tho . More like roller set after 2 days on stretched hair that decided it didnt wanna BE stretched. With that I will do bantu knots when I straighten my hair once a year or as a protective style cause I can get this look with rollers-_-

[@MsEss02]

Editing Danielle you are absolutely right. My change: If someone doesn't have curly hair and they do this style they will see a bigger difference from their natural straight hair. But for us Cs it just looks like a twist/braidout 😂 I see more curly hair folks using this style when they are growing out hair because they want natural hair without a big chop and this styles all the straight pieces. More change: it is fun to conquer hair styles even if we don't plan on using them again 🙌🏾

I gave bantu knot outs 2 chances, THATS IT! I like the way the knots themselves look on other people, but I hat both the knots and the take down for myself lol Like you said, Im not doing all of that work for a CHANCE at "just cute", when I know braid outs dont hate me lmfaoo

Great video! Agree, the bantu knot out was nice. But prefer the fro in the beginning. Both are beautiful!

[@wendyk6081]

This is exactly my issue with 4C hair. The extraordinary amount of effort for a... cute ish style that will last a few hours/day or days if you’re lucky. Until you have to remoisturise. I really have like... a lot to do in my life. Thinking about my hair soooooooo much is so exhausting. That being said... I love my natural 4C hair! That I’m coming to understand is becoming more 4b... anyway! I digress. I love this channel 😍

[@herefortheshrimp1469]

My EXACT issue with my hair was the same before I got my locs lol (I went natural in the first place because I wanted locs btw, not saying everyone should have them...they are amazing tho 😄)

[@wendyk6081]

Tatiana Avery I’m going to consider them one day!!

[@uchewb3]

Honestly keeping my hair simple, detangled, and moisturized has been the sweet spot. Other people are constantly expecting 4c hair to be curl defined (sometimes sure but everyday??? tangle-city) but also somehow stretched bc it’s expected to look long or be intensely styled to some other curl definition (twist outs and bantu knots!. While other curly hair types can just wash n go and that actually means wash n go not a 12 hour experience! I had to learn the hard way; like I can do them fast now but the constant upkeep! 4c hair is as difficult as we make it out to be. Once we let go of unrealistic standards of time-intensive ass hairstyles everyday and just let it be, 4c is actually way easier

[@wendyk6081]

Shakirah Rogers agreed!! I’ve definitely figured out a low maintenance routine that works for me. I focus on hydration and moisture. However... they are days where I want to look more... you know... cute. And so now I’m trying to figure out what fancy things I can do with my hair that don’t stress me out haha

[@vastya.3255]

FLUFFNUGGET LOOKS SO GOOODDDDD

[@mosunshine9265]

Try 2 stand twisting the sections before wrapping it around itself instead of twirling. This is how I've always known to do it in my Caribbean household lol so hopefully that works better for you. Currently have bantu knots in and I'm excited for my results. Also... make sure they're 100873% dry before taking them out 💕

[@theuncomplicatednaturalkur4876]

You are a breath of fresh air! We don't even have the same hair type but I love watching your videos.
