My Natural Hair Journey...and how i ruined it lol

Hi guys! This is my very first video so I was a little nervous putting this one out. Sorry that it's over 15 minutes long but this IS my natural hair journey over the course of almost 5 years (1 year of me transitioning). Allergies were kicking my butt so sorry for the monotone-ness of this video. I'll get better with it, I promise lol and with editing. ANYWAYYYYSSS, I hope you guys enjoy this video, there will be many more to come besides hair. Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBE! Share it with your friends and family who may be thinking about going natural and all that good stuff. My social media links will be listed below:

Leave to our black parents to think a natural Afro is the worst thing in the world, especially if it’s short, like I felt that🙄

[@eventplanner461]

Exactly, I was having a heated debate with my mom the other day. I'm one year natural, but she doesn't want me to cut my straight ends yet. So, I'm going to have to continue transitioning until my freshman year of college. It's really crazy how we are conditioned to not like the hair that grows out our scalp.

[@SiSi-oi2or]

Omg this topic ....it boils me, how black women have been conditioned to feel ab our hair 😭😭 we have beautiful hair and we need to accept the beauty of it !! My dad is fine with natural hair and i think he’d rather my mom go natural but he legs her do what she wants. Sooo i finna learn and teach others ...all that gud stuff

[@aaliyahfeacher5427]

Si Si Yea my dad doesn’t speak to me anymore but he was all about being natural and would have loved me going natural. It’s my mom that makes the little comments about my hair

[@SiSi-oi2or]

Aaliyah Feacher Thats crazy ! I hope we can learn more appreciation as we get older. I rlly dont want girls feeling ugly or like their hair isnt pretty nor fits them.

[@aaliyahfeacher5427]

Event Planner You’re right, it starts at home. How are we gonna have confident black women when the people who are supposed to love us the most are implying that we aren’t beautiful just the way we are🤦🏽‍♀️

[@mlybshr4121]

oh God the eyebrows 😭😱

[@felixfreckleshyunjinmoleye6243]

Your voice sound so much like Yara Shahidi's voice!!!

[@Lala-Land310]

Use the color hair wax if you want color without the commitment. Thank for telling your story

[@blujay3557]

Lol once my hair gets half as long, maybe bsl, I’m twisting it up and keeping it in a bun 😂 Imma be done thinking about growing it longer imma be all about retaining and keeping it simple.

[@imjulisa_]

I say this a lot but I always get bored with my hair when I leave it in a style too long 💀

[@confusedstar-cosmic5517]

Did you get there?

[@tootyy4161]

Who's balded & dunno how to maintain they hair 💀🙋🏿‍♀️

[@Starrsylvia]

bro shes so cutee

[@imjulisa_]

Omg thank you 🥺

[@kayslayzbraidz1337]

Yeah lol it’s all fun and games the first few days of perming and bleaching and coloring and stuff with your natural hair until later on, it will break and lose moisture all of that...I’ve learned my lesson a year ago... I went completely bald January 20th this year and I’m about 4-5 inches long now and I’m not doing ANYTHING to it at all lol keep it up your hair is amazing

[@glxssycosas8774]

Makayla Adams I been cutting my hair for the past 4 months cause it kept going too fast every one tells me to stop but idk if I should just let it grow

[@Beautifulchild22]

You still have beautiful hair! I went through the same thing because of coloring my hair a few years ago. I'll be with you on the same journey. I don't have damage, but I'm trying to get mine to grow and just be thick and healthy.

[@imjulisa_]

Beautiful Child omg thank you! And thank you for the being the first person to comment lol. I’m definitely ready to be on this new journey back to health

[@SierraLeonex]

You just gained a new subbie! You have beautiful hair!

[@imjulisa_]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the fam! ❤️

[@theredrose777]

You remind me of Simone Biles.

[@walliebee4260]

Exactly what I came here to say. 😍

[@theparadisewayy]

“This Not Your Hair Baldie”😂😂😂

[@AlexisJoy006]

I FELT THAT! My dad said the same thing about my head, but I had to ignore it. Now he's giving compliments 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@molkasghaier8770]

i cant believe how the red color matched u like omfg so beautiful 😍 !

[@imjulisa_]

Thank you! I plan on going back soon 👀

[@molkasghaier8770]

pls dont damage it 🙏🏼🙏🏼😩❤️ especially with the lipstick that matches ur hair color 😍😩🔥❤️

[@imjulisa_]

I’m not using bleach this time around so I won’t! ❤️

[@TheCRYSTALLURE]

Candy Wife if you want to try to lighten it the natural way do the hydrogen peroxide method. That’s what I did to light my natural hair to a brown. (Previously did the Lorena hi-color hilights magenta & even tho you aren’t bleaching it before the color there’s still a lightening agent in it so maybe try the natural first) Idk what method you plan on using for the color without pre-bleaching it but yea 😅just wanted to share that in case you’re doing something else.

[@laetitiamukombo6557]

I've seen a lot of these videos hope I can learn from it . when natural hair finally reaches its waist length we become so proud , boastful and neglect our hair And we fall right back again I think being natural is a way of life its a continues hair care process that never stops. Your hair is still beautiful , love your courage and thanks for sharing , as a new natural hope I can learn from you

[@PixiieGrotto]

Laetitia Mukombo I got a job and neglected it. I just get so tired. I definitely can’t do waist length hair probably would chop part of it off.

[@imjulisa_]

Since this is my most popular video, would you guys like a Q & A video?? If so, leave a like and a question down below! 🥺

[@aphroditewest6455]

Candy Wife why do you think your hair grew so fast?

[@SiSi-oi2or]

Whats ur current wash day routine and how has it changed from before ?

[@peacefulblessed2114]

You have beautiful thick hair , you look like the same age as my daughter's 23 and 25. My advice to you beautiful young lady please leave the chemicals alone. Naturalizer is the devil, I have loss hair had bald spots from them. Now my hair is growing from wearing twists , I don't take my natural hair journey For granted.

[@keeshajones1794]

This was SO GOOD and SO TRUE, Little Sis! Just did my second big chop from bleach/permanent color damage. Before this, the last time I had my hair colored was 16 years ago after a virgin relaxer and about a year later I had to chop it off because all of my hair in the middle of my head had broken off from me wearing it in high ponytails trying to mask how thin it was getting. This time, I was fully natural when I got the color and just like you, I thought that it would be "tough enough" to not be damaged with proper follow-up care. Sorry, wrong answer! Bleach with permanent color murders your hair - period. Ain't enough conditioner in the world to bring it back to its former glory. So, I'm proud of you, and I hope you do stay away from color unless you're sure you'll be ok with cutting it off within a year! Stay beautiful, inside and out! ❤

[@rechelzapata5090]

This reminds me of me, after a year of having made the big chop I decided to dye my hair and paint it purple and when I saw how mistreated my hair was I went black and treat it but one year after that I bleach it again but green this time but I didn't learn from those two times. I did it a third time I made it blue until I gave up and I prefer my curls.

[@imjulisa_]

Sometimes we just gotta experiment for ourselves! I definitely saw what color did to other people’s hair but it didn’t stop me from coloring my hair myself 😂

[@Solar.Plexxus]

Yep same I'm going to do a second big chop for the year tomorrow because of bleach -_-

[@eatzbycheri]

You're absolutely breathtaking!

[@imjulisa_]

Thank you 😩🥺 you too if that’s you in your picture 😂

[@eatzbycheri]

@@imjulisa_ lmao yes it's me in the pic lol Thank you, Queen🙌💞

[@notyouraveragejoe7003]

Sees title Me: girl you toooo?!

[@imjulisa_]

Yes 🤧😂

[@Diamsraven]

Not Your Average Joe I honestly think long hair is so much work and thats why most people tend to get complacent lol. I also like my hair a lot stretched now so been doing a lot of low maintenance styles such as braid outs and my hair loves flexi rods. And even trying out those magnetic rollers to have that straight hair look because heat damage is real sis 😂 and I recently had a run in with her

[@notyouraveragejoe7003]

Diamond kelly I definitely prefer to have stretched out hair via braids out as well. I’ve never heard of magnetic rollers, I’ll look into that, thanks!

[@noemonae417]

With color you have do more protein and deep conditioning treatments

[@NYC.NA1]

7:40 was like one of the best pictures because not only did your hair grow longer when you compare it your phone also upgraded 💙

[@imjulisa_]

Right on sis 😂😂

[@kerriewithpurpose5722]

I just wear wigs like whitney houston...thanks for letting me know neverrrr to colour my hair

[@imjulisa_]

Just be careful!

[@ImmortalKombatPanda]

There are now color masks you can wear on natural hair and it washes off after shampooing

[@PixiieGrotto]

Denee Weathers ooo have you used them?

[@cloudwalker7495]

Never seen your channel before and I'm 17, I'm thinking about doing my VERY first big chop and im so tempted to just chop it off, but my mom is wanting a professional to do a big chop, I've dyed my hair for 3 years, but I think I really am ready, your progress is such an inspiration, and trust me, ive done all natural all my life, but the coloring was so bad for my hair.. I'm ready to restart this journey again, best of luck to restart your journey!

[@janinephillips3755]

Your hair texture is beautiful...

[@driab1203]

Them eye brows was FUNNNYYY LMBOO IM SOO HAPPY YOU GOT A SENSE OF HUMOR CAUSE I DID LAUGH OUT LOUD!!

[@briannajohnson85]

😭 don't worry girl I say the same thing about my eyebrows when I see old pics of myself

[@imjulisa_]

Yes someone who understands me 😭

[@karenetienne3611]

I aint got no eyebrows😭

[@aaliyahness]

omg you had amazing curls ! i need hair like yours , yours grew fast !!

[@ishmillah6830]

Loved the video! The comments on your pictures had me dying 😂😂💀💀

[@Nuking-_-HighAF]

“Me trying to watch a quick video” Candy: Let’s start at 1963 Also me: Gets a snack 😭😭

[@shenii6512]

1998*

[@T7d534]

😂😂😂

[@brittanylindsay5415]

9:59😂😂😂😂

[@eventplanner461]

This is why I use a dark brown pencil instead of black. Black just makes your eyebrows look like they were sharpie drawn.

[@Themoment888]

I really gasped at them

[@valenciawhitehead9589]

Thank you for sharing your "hairstory!" I enjoyed seeing all the transformations and am glad you got your groove back.

[@DaiaAdorns]

Hey girl! It's cool to see someone go through their hair journey from childhood to adulthood. Try adding some noncopyrighted music to your vid. It'll make it more interesting. Nostalgic even! 💁🏾‍♀️😋 Keep working that hair sis🦱💆🏾‍♀️

[@trinitys6884]

You did an awesome job with your hair!

[@imjulisa_]

Thank you!

[@tempgirl00711]

I love how you were so patient and just kept on trying. My hair looks like some of ur first pics, but for me too short for my taste so I have to french braid it every weekend, and trying to grow it out to a nice size. But so much shrinkage and want to try wash n go but some say it doesn't stay looking nice or help with shrinkage. Ugh

[@berdinecompere9764]

You kind of look like Simone Biles! Love the vid

[@akaruimitisui1874]

You’re really beautiful :3 ❤️

[@notquitelikeni5721]

I felt when you talked about bleaching your hair and It deteriorating, I professionally bleached my hair twice almost 6 or more months apart. first time she bleached it, it was good the second time It started shedding and breaking so I grew It out a okay length and cut it and now basically I’m restarting my journey too lol, glad I’m not alone with the bleach story!

[@morrisdavidmullings9833]

She is an very beautiful Young woman tho

[@rubyjackson128]

Set backs are inevitable. Ive had several. Your hair is still beautiful.

[@lesheawhite1870]

Wow your length retention is beautiful. I'm trying to get like you. I knew you were going to say color was going to ruin your hair.

[@tiacuppe6681]

My hair is currently colored lol. I bleached it once and just put temporary dyes on it.

[@minasade5522]

if you decide to go back to color you should give clairol textures and tones a try. It’s designed for black hair. I used to use it to dye my hair burgundy and it takes really well in order to avoid the process of bleaching AND dying. the one time i decided to bleach my hair i damaged mine too, now it seems like it just keeps breaking 😭 i’m on a journey to healthy hair too sis, we got this 🖤

[@godsamazing2090]

Great video! New subbie! Btw, your Gorgeous, hun! You did the right thing for your hair 💇🏾‍♀️

[@imjulisa_]

Your documentation is really good I wish you would have talked about the starting point of the splits ends a little deeper.

[@d.alexis4056]

Aaaaaye 1998 babies 🔥🔥

[@getwitlola]

you are so pretty 💗

[@imjulisa_]

If that’s you in your profile picture, you are gorgeous as well 💜

[@getwitlola]

yes it is thank you! i subscribed btw i want to see your hair journey! im struggling with mine lol

[@09echols]

I know that this is months after you posted this video but the next time you color your hair make monthly protein treatments and weekly moisture treatments a part of your regular regimen

[@babyk6265]

I’m happy she said sum bout her eyebrows cuz babyyyy it’s what we were thinking 😭

[@biabia9181]

Lol my dad always told me he preferred my hair straight. You gotta love yourself to death when it come to having natural hair and transitioning/growing it out because it’s like natural hair is only celebrated if you have loose curl and it’s long. Don’t you dare have kinky hair and have it short. 🙄 I’m currently transitioning for the 3rd or 4th time lol we’ll get to where we need to be. No color or heat all 2020!

[@splash2849]

She thought I was gonna be bald *forever*

[@shitsANDgigglies]

Ohhhhhhh gurl that glow up was fucking magical GOD BLESS YOU 😂😭👏🏾

[@imjulisa_]

No but for real, I was going through it 💀😭

[@jessicaflowers6795]

Do you think my hair won’t grow if I wear wigs? I keep it in twists and moisturize it but I wear a wig over it until I reach my length goal.

[@imjulisa_]

Wigs are great protective style! As long as you moisturize your hair underneath, you should be fine 🙂

[@The.Whoever]

That's exactly what I did. I put my natural hair in individual plaits thatt way I can shampoo my scalp and do my scalp massages. My hair is BSL now. Just moisturize and keep your scalp clean and healthy. Also try not to sleep in your wings or leave them on 24/7. When you get home, take that thing off and let your scalp receive oxygen. Your hair could thin out if you dont. The key is making sure you're still moisturizing. I moisturize every day. That's why I love the wigs. They dont effect my hair regimen.

[@iamsyrah]

idk if this is actually true but when babies are bald they usually grow up to have A LOT of hair

[@Me-vf1xc]

Ayee this was a great video sister greek! 💙🕊🐩

[@imjulisa_]

Ugh I love Finer Rhoyalty 🥺🥺

[@rebimac1619]

Wonderful lovely hair little miss....

[@drapedingold723]

Never bleach......dye on the same day, not good. The next time try henna powder it’s good for your hair and will naturally tint it. Go on Amazon they have it in browns, coppers and your favorite....red. Sorry about the setback.

[@lorettalynndavis9695]

Aww, you were and are adorable, trust me. Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@nakialindsey5684]
