Dude she looks prettier with curly hair

[@rawrkitty9342]

She does!!!!!!!

[@aden.3948]

Yesss i mean idk why they even did the video.

[@megaxtell8425]

ik curly hair is just gorgeous

[@etherealmuse]

My hair is "curly" but gosh her hair is gorgeous. I would always wear my hair down if i had her type.

[@wdwfan1697]

I have the same type of hair that she has 😳

[@amandaashly789]

A ton of people are forgetting that this girl has heat damaged curls. She even said so herself. She uses her straightener everyday for over an hour and a half. What you see is not her natural curl pattern. Over time if she stops using heat, and keep treating it the way it should be, her pattern will come back. She also even said that she never learned how to take care of it, which is why she kept straightening it. I feel like they should've shown her curly hair before the damage (baby photos, toddler photos with her hair out etc.) her heat damaged curls will appear as waves as long as she keeps using heat. Good luck to her journey to healthy curls.

[@amandaashly789]

Saba Blah no problem. I've had relaxers and I've straightened and color damaged my curls before. So I know what it's like to see myself and others curl pattern become a lot like hers. Good luck to your journey and just remember to have patience with your growth. I chopped all my damage off and my hair stretched touches my jawline. So if you don't want to cut it, do it gradually and let it grow out. But if you wanna be bold and feel like you're ready to cut it off, do it! I hope you learn to love your curls and I hope you learn a lot on your journey.

[@alondracontreras1156]

gurl you are so right, it'd be interesting to see an update of her hair. We could see the damaged hair transitioning to it's original pattern

[@Barumonster]

I was thinking about this while watching. It was hard to sympathize with her when her curls looked so good during the video. It was just difficult to understand how she could think that her hair was so awful? It looks beautiful! But I kept thinking, this isn't the natural state, it's styled, so of course it's going to look better than when it's improperly cared for. It's like getting your hair cut and styled at the salon, loving it, but then hating what it looks like later because you don't know how to style it well. Just the same, straight hair looks ragged when you don't take care of it at all. Learning how to best treat and care for your hair type, whatever type that is, is the important lesson here, I think. With what she learned, even when her natural curl recovers from the heat damage, it will be so much more healthy than ever before and now she knows how to take care of it in a way that's satisfying to her. That's a confidence boost I can understand.

[@ryuuk7730]

Amanda Ashly r

[@abcdef53015]

Baby photos and toddler photos aren't going to be an accurate representation. Hair changes a lot throughout your lifetime, ESPECIALLY in the time between being a young child to someone in their 20s. The waves were due to the styling as you could see on day three and four, when the styling was losing its effect and her hair started to look more like ringlets. People have different types of curls, not all of them are really tight.

[@aloamazing5650]

For people saying that she has wavy hair she doesn’t. You have to understand that she straightens her hair EVERY DAY so its very very damaged and she has lots of loss in her curls

[@siddalee2759]

Aloamazing 56 she has 2c/ 3a hair, but in this video when it was damaged it was only 2b so her hair is still wavy , just damaged which makes it even looser of a wave. in newer videos u can see her actual curl pattern.

[@trinycejadoonanan1904]

You can actually see that it is damaged but she still has beautiful waves or curls

[@possesivelittlepisces6031]

finally thank you i had my hair straight and always put heat in it and my beautiful curls went away and im transitioning and my curls are coming back

[@jbrownnn]

Trinyce Jadoonanan yeah

[@CharlotteHardy]

I used to do this all of the time as well, I felt exactly the same, now I don't ever use heat on my hair, I don't even use hair dryers now haha! It's been like a year.. Honestly once you get past that mental barrier, you get used to it and enjoy saving some time for extra sleep in the morning ;) If anyone straightens their hair constantly, obviously it's totally up to you, but you should really just try it out!! :) It seems like such a small thing but you honestly feel so free when you just embrace your natural hair ;)

I've lived with heat damaged curls for years and have finally got my curls back and I thank God so much for it. I'm always trying to stop other girls with curly hair from making the same mistake I did. Embrace your curly hair.

[@yooniekosmo]

lezly Actually that was me when I was little, when I was little I had straight thin long hair and throughout elementary I cut it alot and it was always straight, but around beginning of middle school I got these curls in the front of my hair but I didnt think much of it, my hair was still straight. Beginning of this year and I cut it short again after 2 years of it long, now my hair is a thick curly/wavy mess and it is hard to take the frizz but I'm so happy. I feel I look so much better with curly hair, I'm more confident and it great.

[@neongreen123100]

Zairanang The real answer to this question is because we live in a Society that is forcing everyone without European beauty standards to comply and conform to the standards. For example, a person with naturally curly hair especially in their own natural communities can be told that their curly hair is inappropriate or not professional off just because it isn't straightened. The same goes for women with wider noses or fuller lips.

Bezel frizzy hair is because her hairs curly. every singly curly haired person would have really frizzy hair if they just washed it and left it.

[@luckyDancer100]

EmilyK1101 I wash and leave my hair. I have really wavy hair and used to detangle it after every shower and apply products, etc, but my hair was too fine. I noticed I had all these broken pieces. Now I brush it out before, wash and spritz in some leave-in conditioner on dry hair. I have frizz but it’s not too bad. I was always told frizz was caused by dry, brittle hair lacking moisture.

[@EmilyK1101]

@@luckyDancer100 but see you have wavy hair, not curly hair. curly hair may look similar but it acts very different to wavy hair. curly hair is prone to frizz no matter how healthy.

[@luckyDancer100]

EmilyK1101 oh okay. I didn’t realize there was a big difference between the two routines, so maybe I’m mistaken in how curls are maintained. My hair is sort of in the middle- if I apply product, I have lots of big curls and waves. But if I just let it go, it’s more of a few waves past where I tuck it behind my ears lol. I can still brush it dry. I have to, otherwise my scalp gets too greasy and my ends too dry.

That's so rude that people would say it was distracting! Jeez... good on you for loving your hair now, I'm the same, can't bring myself to straighten anymore because I know how damaging it is! It's so liberating to have your natural hair rule

[@ambershepherd2969]

"Society says our hair should be straight." Yet 90% of society curls their hair.

[@ruahanaya1916]

[@anonumosGirl]

i feel that ppl with curly hair straighten their hair and ppl with straight hair curl it.

[@xafir2816]

I don’t know which society she is talking about. :/

[@ctynwbraygalm]

Xafir yeah and on top of that she says "nobody is perfect so why should our hair be" I'm like what??

[@nathaliamesquita6740]

Yup but the curls created by an iron you have 100% control of how they will turn out, they aren't "real". Real curls and waves sometimes will look frizzy, sometimes will curl in the opposite direction you would wish for. Embrancing natural hair it's all about giving up control. Also what you call curls is known in the curly hair community as waves. Real curls are much tighter

[@jasminemartinez7874]

* watches this knowing I straighten my hair regularly *😭💔 I need to start my hair journey.

[@leslieruiz6933]

I can relate to this so much, because I also straightened my hair daily and now I’ve finally left go of the straightener to embrace my natural wavy hair ☺️💕

[@amirahmimi36]

So you gunna share the curly hair routine with us or???

[@Mad-ik4fq]

Mir it looks like she does the same thing I did when my hair was longer, just scrunch it and use a diffuser and let it dry (looks like she used some sprays and stuff too, I never did)

[@Liutgard]

My hair is in a short bob- when I get out of the shower, I towel dry it, rub some anti-frizz serum in it and comb it out, then I work a dollop of product through it (I currently use Marc Anthony Strictly Curls lotion), scruffle it up and scrunch it a bit, then I comb the front hairline just a bit, so it will stay out of my eyes, and to set teh wave in front. That's it. It took me 45 years to decide to quit fighting my curls- and now I love my hair! Been wearing it curly for the last 7 years, and I'll never go back1

[@EloiseWallis]

IKR!! thats what I was waiting for 😂

[@canaljorn]

I don't know what she did at home, but at the salon they did the Deva Ritual, just google this and you will see the steps. It's pretty much about applying the products on super wet dripping hair and then molding with your hands. The blow dryer part is optional.

This video is such an inspiration, because apart from the hair, it just inspires me to embrace who I am and not compare myself with how others look so much. Thank you for making this, Shila. It means more than you know!

[@PocketSaint]

After years of not taking care of my hair and brushing it everyday I appreciate this video. It’s nice to see someone with the same curl pattern as you embrace their natural hair :). I used to curl my hair for a couple months because I longed for the curly hair my friends had but then discovered I still have that curl in my hair I just never took care of it properly. So much power to you and everyone else going through this natural hair journey.

[@ghxstily3586]

it's sucks that people with curly hair always straighten it out, curly is beautiful, i'd kill to have it

[@ronniemarshall7845]

So why didn't they show her hair routine?? As I have curly hair myself I would love to see that.

[@jemmaj2919]

exactly, useless vid if u ask me

[@JC-qp4ol]

same!! SHOW US THE MAGIC!!!

[@kittenkev239]

She probably (sadly) hasn't developed a routine for her curls specifically yet (or at least at the time of filming) which is probably why they didn't show it. But I bet if you do a little searching in the youtube beauty community you'll find what you're looking for!

[@keishaafrica]

alexislopez91 water

[@TheClaireProblems]

Do you mean like which products they used? Same.

[@haleighharris7541]

Well the process of achieving this look will only work if you have naturally curly hair. My aunt taught me how to style my curly hair. I just wash it and then I let it air dry for 10 mins and then I brush it out. After that I will flip my hair upside down and apply hair gel all through out it. After that is all in I scrunch it up so it isn't flat from me applying the gel in it. Then I blow dry it upside down. There's a specific piece to put on the hair dryer, it's shown in the video when she's getting it blown dried. Different gel strength holds will give you different results. I started to do this style this year and like she said in the video, I've never gotten as many compliments about my hair. I also love to touch my hair all the time. It's definitely a relief from going from 2 hours to straighten my hair down to 20 mins to do my hair.

[@LexiAngel91]

Haleigh Harris Thanks for the detailed reply! I thought brushing curls was bad bc it makes them multiply into a poof. Did u mean comb them out? Also what hair product do u use? :)

[@katerinakallitsis5751]

[@livinglovinR]

[@kelly-xr8km]

Her hair is curly but it looks wavy atm because of the time she has been spending using a straightener

[@Wakeupgrandowl]

I kinda wish I could beat my hair into submission like that, but as soon as it sees water it's 100% curl... and I only decided to let it be curly like for 2 weeks now... after.... oh... 3+ years.

[@benitajade9012]

When she sleeps she probably wraps her hair in a scarf or cloth because most people with that hair texture do that.

[@sadzz39]

ChelsRen You know she could just put her hair in a ponytail/bun just like anybody else whose hair may get in their way

[@averagelife5449]

[@dudebro8626]

For stuff like that, if it's a problem with the person that has that hair, they can just wear a ponytail or braid. They don't have to straight up iron their hair flat.

[@blondewigsimpuwu]

The girl and the assistant are all so pretty!! And their hair is like hair goals! Spoken by a girl with super super straight hair (I wish I had naturally curly hair too, I think it's because people just want the things that they don't have)

[@anafrison6995]

[@NN212N]

After using the product you like, try using a diffuser to partially dry your hair. It attaches to your hair dryer. It is amazing! It enhances your curls while you dry them. You don't want to dry your hair all the way and always use it on low heat. Your curls will be alot more springy.

[@hannahz3695]

Everyone has different hair. It's best if you go to an Ulta or Sally's to talk to a lady about what you should do for your hair.

[@rebeccacron8614]

gummybears50 it's a product line called Diva Curl, worth every penny. You can also find Diva Curl certified stylists who will cut your hair appropriately for your texture. They are amazing!

[@victoria4]

she has a lot of heat damage :( but if she steps away from the straightener and moisturizes her hair more i can see it growing out healthy! its beautiful

[@samantharollins7260]

So many people are like why is she crying and I guess it's hard to explain if you don't have curly hair. It's like what she said in the beginning, celebrities are always portrayed as having sleek, shiny, straight hair. So its like there this part of you that you can't change and you feel like you'll stand out or look weird for just having that part of you so for years I would straighten my hair all the time because I thought that that was the only way to look good or put together. This end up damaging your hair so bad that you loose your curl and it just dead. So to finally feel pretty and comfortable with her hair as it is, is a hard thing to do

[@MB4life321]

Samantha Rollins her hair is BARELY curly

[@samantharollins7260]

Like I said though it's mad damaged from her years of straightening and it messed up her curl pattern. I'm surprised it is actually that curly tbh. My hair is curliest at the root and on my tiny baby hairs that are new growth and that haven't been dyed or straightened

[@gracej1390]

Samantha Rollins Exactly this is why celebrities like Leigh-Anne Pinnock are my inspiration because she's not afraid to wear her natural curls out even if she straightens sometimes

[@ThePuglover98]

Samantha Rollins I have naturally very straight flat hair, I hate it and ive always wanted big curly locks, it's so beautiful and lovely and just a few months ago I permed my hair curly and I've never loved my hair as much as I do when it's curly, it's always fun and suits me much better than my straight hair, I wish I had natural curls. I also wish society wasn't such a downer on natural hair, because it's so gorgeous and awesome. ❤️

People with curly hair wants straight hair. People with straight hair wants curly hair *** EDIT.. I didn't mean everyone wants what they can't have, hehe, but a few years ago I was like that.
