Hi Beauties!
I am Shanese Danae, a Florida based digital content creator. I’ve been on KZbin off and on for over 10 years ( I know, I know that's a really long time to not have much growth). I never looked at KZbin as a source of income. Honestly, it was just something that I did for fun at the time. I’ve recently decided to focus on my passions and really grow my KZbin Channel. I am currently a full-time entrepreneur with many talents. A lot of you know me for my skincare tips, or for my permanent loc extensions. However, there’s a lot about me that you didn’t get to experience which is my background in brand/social media marketing..
I’m the president and founder of SHIC Beauty. I am a licensed Aesthetician with many specialties. I also have my Masters in Business Administration. I began to document my acne journey on my KZbin channel, but deep down I always knew I wanted to eventually open my own businesses within the beauty industry, so I did. Helping others succeed in their dreams is something that I will forever have a passion for. I like to say that my 3rd business found me, and that is becoming a goto person for entrepreneur tips, social media strategies, brand strategies to help promote small businesses. My goal is to have my youtube channel reflect that.
Let's inspire one another by sharing tips without judgment. “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.”
I hope you all continue to support the growth of my channel.
My Goal: 50,000 Subscribers by Dec 2020

I just loc’d my hair a month ago with loc extensions as well , I was tired of the wigs and to be honest the protective styles wasn’t protective at all! I wasn’t taking care of my hair underneath ( meek mills braids lol) I also would get braids but it was time consuming and the prices were getting outta hand. For the wigs & braids, I’m loving my decision . Thank you

[@ShaneseDanae]

Yesss!!! I agree. I wasn’t taking care of my hair like I should’ve been as well. But definitely happy that I locd my hair! I’m happy you’re having a great experience 🥳

[@MorenaMami0803]

"Your journey is your journey." This!! Exactly this! Because at the end of the day, unless you add obviously fake colored extensions, who can even tell? Or even cares? Four years from now when my extensions are chopped off, does it matter how I got to that point?

[@ShaneseDanae]

Yes!!!! Amen to that. People care way too much about others decisions these days! Thanks for watching 💖

[@msblu28]

I was loose natural for 13 yrs and I joined the loc nation in November 2019. I would always hear ppl say there's something spiritual about a loc journey and I would just be like 🤷🏾‍♀️ ok. Now that I'm on my own journey I get it, it really does alter you somehow for some reason. Your locs are gorgeous! 😍 Thanks for sharing.

[@ShaneseDanae]

I know right! It’s like it all makes sense lol. Thank you so much for watching 🥰

I did my loc extensions I love them because they make my styles look fuller and I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to do to my hair

[@Loc.dGoddess]

I did the exact same method. Instant locs with permanent loc extensions. Your locs are beautiful. 😍

[@ShaneseDanae]

Awe thanks girly 💖

[@seraphinasb988]

I feel you 100% I am sad I didn't get locked before this lockdown. Mannn but I just made my appointment to get lock extentions. You look absolutely stunning.

I’m 47, and I’m over wigs,weaves and protective styles. I’ve been natural for years and never really liked doing my hair. Getting my loc extensions in two weeks. I can’t wait!!!

[@beautyishername4585]

Girl I can’t wait for the stiffness to get gone but this is the best decision I’ve made with my hair ...your locs are so beautiful

That's so exciting that you're close to 3 years. How are you liking your extensions after adding them?

[@jazzlindanielle7238]

I love this video 💕

[@sadeogburn4353]

Hi Shanese. I’m a new subscriber of yours and ready to start my loc journey like yesterday. You mentioned you got your starter locs done at makin styles. At least I think that’s what you said. Anyway, I noticed that KZbin has tagged you in Florida. I also live in FL and I’m looking for a good loc salon. Will you drop their deets please😃

[@lajoimines3461]

Do you plan on cutting the extensions off and rocking your natural locs?? I’ve had my loc extensions for 6mo and I love them!!!

[@ShaneseDanae]

Hey!!! I will most likely cut them slowly over time just from trimming. Honestly, it’s hard to say 😊. However, I’m definitely not interested in having waist length or knee length locs that’s for sure 😂🤣😂😂.

[@kaisenji]

I just locked my hair up this year. As of December it will be 6 months since I started. I have not gone back to get my hair retwisted because financial reasons. So I've been keeping it kind of twisted on my own. I absolutely love having locs. I've always wanted my hair to get longer and I was tired of getting it braided only to have to take it out after 4 months because it would get crazy. This is totally work better for me. And other than having to deal with my gray hair which I have a lot, I really do enjoy having locs.

[@kelimah2]

Love your channel, your sincerity and passion is clear! I see you are in Florida, and I think I saw somewhere in one of your videos that you are in the Tampa Bay area (binge watched several of your videos, I may be confused). I am seeking a loctician experienced with loc extension maintenance. Would you be able/willing to share/provide a recommendation? Thank you.

[@ShaneseDanae]

Hey love! I am in the Tampa Bay Area. Checkout Gems_inception on IG she’s a sweetheart. I appreciate you supporting my channel🥰🥰

[@kelimah2]

Thank you!! Appreciate the quick reply and recommendation. Keep up the great work👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾👍🏾

[@ShaneseDanae]

Thank you so much! And anytime

[@krystlewhilby7737]

Can you do a video on how you tend to your locs on a daily routine? Like for example I do the LOC method with my faux locs now (getting my loc extension soon when maconstyles reopens whoot whoot) do you do daily moisture anything of that sort? Thanks 🙏🏽

[@ShaneseDanae]

I sure can! coming right up!

[@OneDimple7588]

Love it ❤️ I get my locs 4/3

[@Sselestine]

😭Those are my reasons too . I hate wearing weaves all the time

[@lifewithtrenel]

I’ve considered locking my hair but it’s too permanent for me to right now. I like switching up my hair too much but I do admit I am a lazy natural.

[@ShaneseDanae]

Siiissssss!!! I feel you on the "lazy natural" part. Whew, after my hair reached brah strap length I would chop it off LOL. This time I was like let me Loc it and see. It turned out to be the best decision ever. I use to change my hair more than changing my shoes so Im still shocked I made this commitment LOL.

[@mykailapannell4619]

Ouu I love your hair wrap do you think you can do a tutorial on how to do it ?

[@ShaneseDanae]

Thanks! I sure can 🥰

[@onikasamuel5491]

Hi love your growth! Can you tell me what length extensions you had installed at the beginning of your journey? I want to use the same length from your very first video

[@anelsahooper3671]

She had 12 inches installed she also share that info in multiple videos.

[@eshon2008]

I needed to see this video so bad! Thank you for inspiring me to start my loc journey. I have a few questions about the loc extensions. How can I send you direct messages?

[@ShaneseDanae]

Anytime love! You can message me on IG @Shanesedanae

[@eshon2008]

Shanese Danae ok I’ll message you now

[@Bunny-cf8ju]

Thank you

[@biolakukoyi7252]

I love your locsssss omgggggggggg I am so ready to loc my hair again but I am getting extensions 🤍

[@ShaneseDanae]

Awe thanks! 💖💖💖 do it! Loc your hair up again. Adding the extensions is a nice touch as well 🥰

[@stephanietanco1191]

Time stamps help to determine your natural locs length from the exstentions it works wonders

[@stephanietanco1191]

Time stamps are souing a charm right above the tip of your loc so as it grows your time stamp grows along with it and u know where your actual locs end

[@NfinitysBeauty]

She said like why did I have on a hat 😂😂😂 same exact feeling that’s why I locked up

[@ShaneseDanae]

Sisssss forreal I thought I was out here being cute 😂😭🤣 #WRONG

[@tireenanoel4750]

What size is that ?

[@mamabear52941]

I just started my loc extension may 14, 2020 my hair is about 2inch long, I did want to go thru the short UGLY STAGE 😂🤣so I’m cheating and that’s okay with me, some of my extensions have slide off, I have had them put back on, my hair texture is real curly, so I know it will be a while before my hair starts to lock, so Im willing to go thru the whole loc stage, one thing I can say is that I LOVE IT. I can get up know my hair his done my edges get real curly because of my natural hair texture it looks beautiful, I get a lot of compliments. Of how it really makes me look different, from the short hair cuts I had thru the years, I’m looking forward to my one yr anniversary, then I will have my extensions cut off so I can style my own natural locs❤️❤️❤️

[@mamabear52941]

I didn’t want to go thru the ugly stage they call it🤣

[@Sselestine]

Me too I don’t wanna go through that short stage 😭I don’t think short hair looks good on me

[@ShaneseDanae]

Love it! I’m happy that your experience has been great so far! Keep flourishing girly

[@ilovemybrudder]

You got my DREAM HAIR lol size and length all black 🖤🖤. And Revert is such a bad word in the Black community lol . Our hair grows long and fast as hell when it’s locd and you can just get up and go like white girls (people) be doing

[@ShaneseDanae]

Lol so true!!!! I love getting up and going. It’s the best. Thank you so much for watching 🌸

[@Heyu7her3]

It's not that it grows long, the length and shed hair are both retained inside the loc

[@tenaydanielle1847]

I’m 10 weeks Loc’d and decided to loc my hair bc even though i love weaves i wanted the option to wear my natural hair and didn’t really know how with my loose hair. I uploaded my first loc video on my channel check it out and see what you think. Have you experienced any of your extensions coming out? Do they feel heavy at all esp on the edges

[@ShaneseDanae]

Congrats on starting your channel. My hair isn’t heavy at all. My edges are good but I have fragile edges and I made sure that my ratio around my edges were pretty thick in parting so my chances of any thinning is less risky.

[@mo0neythomas727]

Yours is beautiful

[@sharihill5164]

How many locs do u have.

[@ShaneseDanae]

103

[@nonaperry5403]

I just wanna let loose and blow in the wind

Wait! Wait! You said you started your loc journey because you wanted to stop wearing weave?? But you have Loc Extensions!? It's ok love! Do you! You and your love are gorgeous!

[@ShaneseDanae]

Awe thanks💖! Yes, wearing many styles of weave. My loc extensions that are added to my natural locs are permanent. I was speaking of how many times I changed my hair 😩 it was exhausting.

[@PuzzleFit]

Shanese Danae Ahhhhh! Ok! I get it! 💕

[@backtalker4698]

You did cheat lol and that's okay. Own it. You put in loc extentions. And that's okay, and people will say you cheated, because you technically did. But that's you and your hair and you can do whatever you want to do with your hair. It's okay you cheated. Call a spade a spade. And that's okay. That's all I'm saying.

[@ShaneseDanae]

I just did what I thought was best for me. It’s no different than someone fixing their locs with extensions lol same concept 😏 just saying. My natural hair was locd and I wanted a little more length so I added. I’m just bold enough to say what it is. 🌸💖 🤔 I didn’t know it was a game.

[@backtalker4698]

@@ShaneseDanae I don't see anything wrong with doing what is best for you. That's fine. The part of "fixing your locs with extensions" there's no difference. Hair added is fake. It's not yours. I'm not putting you down or anyone with loc extentions. But it is what it is. A lot of people see locs at its original spiritual journey. No cutting locs or add in fake extensions. People are free to do what they like with their hair. I'm just saying own it. Nothing bold about what you're doing. You're just being honest. And that's respectful. I'm happy you're up front with your journey. A lot of loc people aren't. So good for you being honest and up front.

[@kelimah2]

This idea of "cheating" with loc extensions is destructive. It is another way that us brown people are again creating division amongst ourselves- please stop it- don't participate in it- don't restate it- don't spread it. We have complained that not wearing your hair in a natural texture( ie. Brazilian or Indian weave) is being brainwashed and not being true to our culture. Now we are creating a new standard of being "natural enough" . Can we just be happy that brown girls are finding freedom, beauty, and self love in a style that has traditionally belonged to brown people.

[@backtalker4698]

@@kelimah2 absolutely. But it is what it is. No one is creating divisions. Just stating facts. Extentions added is...by definition, cheating. It's gaining an advantage by faking longer length. That being said. People have the right to do as they please. I don't care if you're relaxed, natural, loc, or whatever. Call a spade a spade. That's like saying...it's destructive to say just because I add weave into my hair doesn't make it not my hair. It isn't your hair. It's absolutely not your hair. Weave and fake extensions are not your hair. It isn't destructive to say so. Again, for the ones who are unable to hear me from the back. It's cool. Wear Weave, wear loc extensions, wear add ins and press ons. What is liberating is not how the hair is done... what is liberating is owning your truth and calling it exactly what it is and owning your truth regardless of what that truth is. I can appreciate people speaking the truth. It's fake. It's not real. It's a add on. It didn't grow naturally and that's okay. IT'S OKAY. I respect she's open with this because ALOT of loc sisters are not. They have this image and selling this image and the image is fraud. She isn't doing that. She's open and honest and speaking her truth and it's not what some people might call it cheating... it is! Just accept it. I added fake hair for my own purposes .. and that's okay!

[@lesleywilliams1717]

Ebony Roots if you don’t care what other do to their hair then why did you write this whole dissertation? People are too freaking obsessed with what others do to their hair. Every journey I’ve been on with my hair (natural, wigs, weaves,etc) there’s always a group of “ mean girls” that feel the need to be negative about someone else hair adding their rusty two pennies that wasn’t asked for. Like she said YOUR JOURNEY IS YOUR JOURNEY! Why can’t we just compliment support and be happy for one another??? Seems like we are divisive about everything in the black community. It really makes me sad. But I won’t be sad when I “cheat” and get these loc extensions in a couple weeks. I will walk proud with my head held high with my cheating locs blowing in the wind...

[@laurenlocd3180]

I thought this was your real hair lol girl what you happy for ? Lol one year of having weave in yo head lol
