❌ NATURAL HAIR GURUS EXPOSED❌

[@misskambaby]

Thank you! One person came out and realized that coconut oil was breaking their hair out. Then all of a sudden everyone else "realized" that they too had a problem with coconut oil. I was over it. People need to think for themselves. It's the same thing with the water only washing. I knew that wasn't going last long. Pure foolishness.

[@tfashion19]

misskambaby that's exactly what happened lol I still like to use it as a prepoo though

[@misskambaby]

I do as well. I have had no problems with coconut oil. These people do so much to their hair, I'm like how can you be sure it was the coconut oil. I get it if you tried coconut oil and it was not good for hair, because its true, everything is not for everybody. But the people who have been using it for years, and considered it a "staple product" and now its tearing out your hair? Major side eye. Plus like I said, they do too much. They do protein treatments when they don't really have knowledge of how they work, how to use them properly and half of the time they don't need them. They leave conditioner on their heads for hours at a time and even overnight. Every time you turn around they're trying some new method or a new product. Please don't get me started on the people who try a new product line, but refuse to follow the instructions on the bottle. I have seen people pile four and five different products at time on their hair trying to achieve a wash and go. But it was the coconut oil that destroyed their hair? Ok. I been natural for a little over five years. When I started people were so genuine, that's why I don't subscribe to most of these people. I've seen so many methods, challenges, products, demonstrations, you name it they've done. I honestly feel like they are running out of ideas and are grasping at straws at this point. If you notice, some of them are big chopping all over again. To the people who are new naturals there really is good information to help you with your journey, but the best thing that you can do for your hair is to find what works for you and stick with it. Don't follow trends because they fade away and if listen to some these people you will be disappointed. Keep it simple, and be patient.

[@SimplisticallyDigital]

These points were spot on! I often wondered how these women started out with 4z hair, then ended up with BSL length 3b hair. I believe a lot of them texturize their hair to get that "look". Your hair looks great btw. Thanks for your honesty!

[@KriyaBotanicals]

Thought this same thing for a long time.

[@majormediaproductions]

Swarthy Daisy that always mind boggled me. And just to think all this time I thought it was the weight of their longer hair that caused a looser look😁

[@Jerusalem23]

@DSFAVORS Thaaaaaaank youuuuuu. I been peeped the old gurus using texturizers. I am a hairstylist and have been for 25 years and I can spot a texturizer a mile away. And most of them use it. It's hilarious. Thank you for this video.

[@latoya1307]

OMG I noticed the coconut oil thing. Naptural85 said it first from what I remember and then eeeeeveryone copied her and started saying they don't use coconut oil. People might hate my comment but I think these "Gurus" wait for Whitney to say something and then just copy her. She used Traders Joes conditioner first and now EVERYONE swears by Trader Joe's Conditioner. I haven't tried it yet. I just don't believe these girls, even though the conditioner might be really good. You better believe if Whitney ever says she doesn't use Trader Joe's conditioner anymore within 24 hours there will be videos allllll over KZbin from other "gurus" saying they no longer use it.

[@Dweebula]

Jasmine P. She also made the video using Aleo Vera and then a bunch of others popped up.

[@ellyfer5702]

So true

[@faithwilliams7978]

Actually, I saw Maryam Hampton do the aloe vera video first...months before Naptural85, but I will agree that once SHE (Whitney) did it, everyone copied. I wonder if Naptural copied Maryam. It would be so easy for her to copy lesser known You Tubers and then get the credit because she has so many more subscribers.

[@PrincessJJ-o3n]

Jasmine P. I totally agree.

[@erickaransom236]

Jasmine P.

[@opinionatedlibra1934]

Another great one would have been the natural gurus that say "styles to do with short hair" and their hair is bra strap length. I say this because when I first big chopped I start looking for videos that gave hair tutorials for short hair. I couldn't do any of those styles.

[@clanwargods]

I had that exact same problem, I just ended up braiding my hair at the end because of how frustrating that whole process was.

[@boco1983]

I too was annoyed and irritated with people being with coconut oil 100% then all of a sudden everyone wants to say it's not good for your hair. There is one person I know who was actually genuine about it and explained how it really did make her scalp inflamed and such. Then after her video new videos every week were coming out saying coconut oil ain't all that and how it's not good for you and so on just to get views and be on this "trend". I hate that people are treating like a trend. These are people's natural hair, women are trying to embrace themselves but feel like they can't trust natural hair people or that natural hair "really isn't for them" because of the false information they be hearing. I attend an HBCU and I hear stuff like that all the time now. It's saddening. I just want to say also that coconut is a great oil. Just because it doesn't work for some people, doesn't mean it work for most. Coconut oil has very beneficial properties and is a healthy oil. Also don't claim to be allergic when you're not. It not working for you (could be the case it is also be using it wrong) doesn't mean you're allergic.

[@JasmineStaceyy]

preach! as a cosmetologist I'm so tired of hearing the BS people coming up with nowadays smh everyday I gotta shoot down peoples unwarranted ridiculous unrealistic dreams and hopes in the salon and in real life giving advice PLUS hair health starts at the scalp and with your mouth...what eat and drin kmatters just as much as what you put on your hair and scalp. The numbers and letters classification for hair typesis a lie too

[@Binaishere]

Thank you DSF! I've seen videos and pics on Pinterest where tons of naturals are able to lay their edges straight. Mean while I'm confused. My edges are so thick and curly. A whole tub of eco styler would not lay it down. My high and low pony never looks the way I see them portrayed online. The whole texturizing and relaxing of edges make more sense. If it was all the way natural, the results would not be the same. It's really disappointing when ppl are putting out false information, but I'm not surprised. Ppl nowadays are seeking validation from left to right but that's a whole other story! All in all, when the foundation is weak, the house will not stand and that is all. Thank you again #truth

[@sw33tnycandy]

Sabine Lay Facts. My edges never laid down. Last time they slayed my hair was still was still relaxed.

[@mjbthebest9008]

Yesss, I'm using two kinds of gell and it's still ant right....#truth

[@lavonfloyd5787]

Tell the truth sis. My edges never lay down.

[@neon5311]

If you ever do a part two please mention those youtubers who claim they have 4c hair but they clearly don't.

[@diamondlaing3829]

neon5311 shadeeeee 😎🌴 lol

[@Caribbeanqueen1976]

Shoot... I know 4c hair when I see it. Believe me

[@lunayen]

Um, people's hair do change. I used to use coconut oil back when I became natural. It helped my hair. I stopped using it after a while because I was trying out different oils. Went back to it earlier this year and I did notice breakage and brittle hair. So just because something worked in the beginning doesn't mean it still works now.

[@ChristinaPerkz]

Thank you! Just like your body things change!! I use to use coconut oil on my son hair and body. After 2 years it just stop working! Still supporting naptural85 all the way.

[@Binaishere]

This is my second time seeing this video, and your rant is still relevant. All of a sudden, rice water is the new holy grail of hair growth. As a blogger, I’ve stressed less is more. Everyone’s hair growth is at a different rate, and some people refuse to accept that fact. I never imagined that the natural hair community would transition into what it is today. It’s disappointing, it’s caused division, there’s deception as you’ve pointed out, and it’s all about chasing clout rather than having a genuine love to inform and support all black women. In time, the truth will always come to the light #honestywins

[@vickyd9584]

Sabine Lay, The Lay Cover u are so right I will never try all the rice whatever challenge

[@naturally_vonn]

I also wish the natural community stop focusing on getting bra strap length but focus on keeping and maintaining healthy hair. Honestly I feel like KZbin has loss their content and purpose. I used to look forward to videos but I agree it has changed a lot.

[@oliviablackmon8416]

"I won't have nobody looking crazy out in these streets...KZbin is not my full-time job. I HAVE a career that I worked hard for." I've never subscribed to anyone this quick

[@MrFancyjohnson1]

Hair care is chemistry...my regiment is so old school, wash, condition,moisturize and oil my scalp and trim those ends....Bam!

[@nhmsmom7872]

Girl......You said it! There are some real popular Guru's on youtube who I guessed texturize their hair. I look at their hair with the big chop and as they progress and show you their one year and two year growth, I am like how did you go from 4C hair to 3A hair after it grew out? Just plain LIARS!

[@elizabeth-7064]

nhmsmom which gurus?

[@JuicyHabboNuts]

I need to know who these gurus are.

[@AutiiJ]

Now the video is over and i'm like "Damn! 16 minutes wasn't long enough... Lemme see what else she got..." lol, great personality!

[@veghead05]

Otowneecee 😂😂

[@LuvlyUnknown]

I honestly hate when gurus refer to their hair cuts as "big chops". I thought the big chop was the cutting of your permed/damaged hair and revealing your natural texture. Too many times I've clicked on a video thinking I'm about to watch someone "big chop" and all they're doing in getting a few inches taken off .

[@sassk6283]

I already knew everything you said. But I am glad that all of this is coming from someone who is a youtuber to confirm how I felt. Thank you, you have a new fan!

[@Dweebula]

People are too gullible.... I noticed that the ladies with really long hair, been natural 7 years....all of a sudden they're using gummies or pills, but none of those companies are as old as their hair growth journey 🤔. How can they attest to using a product that wasn't even around?

[@oncebitebysquirrel]

Laure Germain Haha good observation

[@cfoster6804]

Bingo!

[@NtandoMbele]

I have noticed that "People that just went natural who were relaxed for eons" don't know much about natural hair but they continue making it seem like they still do. Took me a yr to understand my hair mixing and matching. There is no one day fix. Can take me up to a 4th wash to actually like a product unless it's a shampoo/oil. Thank you for being real.

[@Mah0ganyBr0wn]

OMG THANK YOU SIS This video was needed! Ugh the lies some of these ppl on YT is telling us is crazy I cannot watch some of them anymore. Ppl getting texturizers & getting mad bc viewers asking why their texture change 😂 I cannot deal! TFS!!

[@JoAnnaTheSoulStringerJohnson]

I appreciate this video so much. People jumped on the coconut bandwagon and then everybody jumped off like it was the plague. Talking about it took my hair out or they allergic but they still using products with cetyl alcohol in it. lololol. These gurus rocking textures that ain't 4C but started out that way talking about they trained their hair to be that way. Yeah with a relaxer!!! And the inversion method is right up there with biotin for me. Placebo effect!!! All day! If it really worked like folks claim it did, we'd all be walking around here looking like Mufasa off the Lion King. Thank you!🙂😊☺️

[@JoAnnaTheSoulStringerJohnson]

Queen Kaydeen I don't have a problem with it either which was my point. It's derived from coconuts.

[@TeaLeaf222]

Ive been watching natural hair videos for 10 years...the game has changed..there are loads of fakes...and THIS VIDEO IS TRUTH. Do you know how many times I've sideeyed certain vloggers like..."ammmmm I gonna be the only one that notices this person clearly has a dry ass texturizer and passing it off as natural?" lol I feel like noone else ever peeped that! THANK YOU

[@majormediaproductions]

EclecticFlavor. names please? 🍿👀lol

[@animagicalx]

EclecticFlavor. Yeah spill that tea sis 👀😫😂

[@TeaLeaf222]

lol chiile i only sip...never spill lol I cant be messy..but ill just say watch enough "gurus" and you'll peep it to...when their texture seems to keep changing month to month...you can just tell...it aint all natural...sorry for being a lame and not saying it lol

[@tierracoleman2019]

I loved this video! Totally agreed on the whole coconut oil trend, I used it for a month and my hair hated it. That's when I realized my hair journey was just that. My Own! You have to take advise with a grain of salt, and really listen to your hair and how it responds to products.

[@amandamadera2485]

Tierra Coleman it weighed my hair down and killed the curls tbh

[@TheeMademoiselle]

That shampoo shit gets on my entire nerves and what pisses me OFF more than anything is the people who try to promote all of these "natural" and EXPENSIVE ASS products (as sponsorships that they don't disclose) that don't do anything different then regular products.

[@LifeSizePrincess]

Not gonna lie... I backed off of watching vids for noticing how things have changed. You nailed it.

[@KamraMahl]

Girl clock the tea. I remember watching one video where one particular woman was screaming about how we don't need to use combs. Combs were the devil. Few months down the line she was praising a comb in a review. -__-

[@txb4u]

Girl! I thank you for your honesty! I remembered when I started watching YT people were just 'normal' doing reviews or tutorials in their bathrooms and bedrooms etc, NOW it's LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! They look more like movie stars now. I decided to quit buying all this stuff that they suggest and just go back to simple beginnings! They all want to be stars now to me. I use to watch them all! Now - I found my porosity level and now work on my protein and moisture balance and buy the simple things that works! I was tripping out on how MANY NATURAL products are out on the market now. Thank you for this vid! hope the best! TJ

[@NaturallyJY]

OMG! I thought I was the only one who noticed the coconut oil thing! I've been natural for almost 6 years and all this time everyone has been raving about how amazing coconut oil is and how they have been using it for YEARS but now all of a sudden everyone hates it! Definitely a bandwagon thing.

[@JoyDejaKing]

KissMyKinks this comment is so real. It's like KZbin is full of a bunch of followers. I guarantee if a guru came back and said coconut oil is great again, the tide will once again turn. I find it hilarious. I still use coconut oil and love it.

[@michellegomez5429]

KissMyKinks It works for a lot and it doesn't work for most. It worked for mines until I got a protein build up. so it works fore but Argan oil dries makes my hair dry, brittle and straw; where as its great for others and their frizz...

[@NaturallyJY]

Joy King Exactly! I still use it too. It's been working all this time so I'm not about to stop using it just because it's the trend right now

[@YourMom-jq1pr]

KissMyKinks I ate bananas for years and one day I couldn't anymore. Bodies change man.

[@NaturallyJY]

Your Mom I understand that but I just think it's a mighty big coincidence that everybody is starting to have the same negative reactions to coconut oil at the same time. This hate for coconut oil started a few months ago and since then it's been a ripple effect. One day one guru says she doesn't like it and the next day everybody doesn't like it. That seems fake to me.

[@perfectbrunnetdoll]

your hair is going to grow regardless of what you do. it's more about taking care of the hair. especially your ends.

[@demetriaf6595]

StrawberryCreamPocky I agree!

[@dorapierres]

I peeped the coconut oil "controversy." After a very popular natural hair KZbinr posted a video about no longer using coconut oil, soooooo many KZbinrs popped up with videos about why they decided to stop using coconut oil. I really believe it was a bandwagon situation. It's crazy what lengths people will go to to get views or subscribers. Just be yourself.

[@Naomifaith4343]

[@jaeshasway]

I want names so I can avoid those channels. I don't want to support anyone using a texturizer, clips or weaves claiming that that's 100% their natural hair. SMH. That's just wrong.😳

[@cathywaller8469]

Terri Boyd True

[@muezzathestray750]

facts. put them on blast

[@BlackStarrSoul]

She's talking about literally anyone who supports the inversion method, and I think the coconut oil is about naptural85. For sponsorships, I don't know any names, but look for channels that have a lot of sponsorship videos. We don't need a million products for our hair.

[@jaeshasway]

Kodama I'm subscribed to probably hundreds of channels. We can speculate all the day is long, but we don't know for certain who the main culprits are. I can think of multiple you tubers for each complaint. At the end of the day we need to watch everyone and take what's said with a grain of salt until we prove it for ourselves. The coconut oil issue didn't bother me as I used it for 1 1/2 years and my hair suddenly stopped tolerating it. It does happen because I'm proof. I had several major shedding incidents right after prepooing with it. I think that my porosity improved and I no longer needed the extra moisture it was too strong. I stopped using it on my own because of the sensitivity I developed. Yep it still works on others. It still works for me toned down in products as an ingredient. I can use a very small amount to detangle but have to wash it out immediately where I used to be able to leave it in several hours or overnight. I think they did the right thing being honest about what no longer works for them. It's the other ratchet mess that bothers me and I still want to know names. Too many repeat the same things over and over.

[@Steph_Said]

GIRL..THANK. YOU. I'm 54 yrs old. My "natural hair journey" goes way back. That is, until I started doing my own hair and put my first relaxer in when I was 19. At 50, I decided to stop relaxing only because I couldn't remember how my natural hair felt. I longed for that touch. So, I came to KZbin, MY. GOD. I was so confused...lololol Folks talking about no heat; it'll change your coil...blah, blah. Granted, I seldom use heat, but y'all....I GREW UP SITTING AT A HOT TAIL STOVE, EVERY 2 WEEKS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT GETTING MY HAIR PRESSED!! I promise you, that press didn't change this 4C hair 'cause with every wash...these locks coiled up like a freaking Slinky!!! Folks on here tripping! My hair is growing good by using old fashioned care. If ya don't know, ask some of your Great Great Grandmothers how it's done. 🐸☕

[@cfoster6804]

That's because your hair was probably pressed with pressing oil aka grease. It's hands down the best heat protectant for our hair.

[@Steph_Said]

[@fancyfingerwork]

Wait. a. minute. when you talked about the inversion method I for real LOL. I'm glad you made this video. I've been a Hairstylist for over 10 years and it absolutely irk my nerves when a client comes to me with the weekly new rules and rituals to Natural hair care. And giving me the side eye if I don't agree with some of these gurus. I've been having and doing ALL kinds of natural hair before You tube was created. I think I'll go with my training, experience over some chick who only started taking caring of thier hair to get youtube famous

Aja Monae right its like forget about the consumers we are sharing this with. Let's just get this money. Which is ridiculous!

Preach!!! Thank you. There's one KZbinr that posts videos monthly doing different methods claiming "Extreme hair growth," my problem is...she only does these methods once. No length check or star date. I've read her comments and feel sorrow for her viewers because she never answers their questions. This is the phrase I believe KZbinr's should share with their viewers..."A watched pot never boils." Everyone's hair will grow if they take care of it. It's going to grow in its own sweet time. We shouldn't focus on length before health because if it's healthy, it will produce length.

[@faevalentine9187]

Tree Green babilon Kay? That iritates me!! Like, how are we supposed to know if it actually works? just because you say so?

[@NaturallyKoilyKuteness78]

Tree Green SPEAK!!!! She created some silly hair mask, at the time I was like nooooo that's going to leave your hair in a mess. I watched her video, and saw that she didn't have trouble with it. What she didn't show was the actual truth in that video, how granulated cinnamon makes the hair feel and how it's hella hard to wash out of the hair. More trouble than it's worth honey smh. I actually tried the mask just to test it and that turned me off from her. Thankfully I had a twa and it completely irritated the heck outta me that she's pushing silliness. Just imagine if my hair was longer prior giving myself a haircut. Girl I would've been pissed to no end trying to get that crap outta my hair. I vowed to myself that I will always stick with what's been working for me and not fall for the foolishness outchea because it's cray.

That coconut oil thing really turned me off. I found more success when I was mixing my own concoctions for my hair. I just couldn't keep up anymore. I'm all for mixing natural oils/ingredients for hair but that product junkie bit drove me up the wall. I'm seriously working through so many products based off reviews and I had to stop to pay closer attention to my hair. Great video... new subbie

[@LadyFirst94]

Marlea Shawn Me, too! 😂😂 We have to get to know our hair.

[@LisaIsNatural]

I hate how people edit their videos these days, and all these old school naturals that have completely changed I know KZbin is a business but some of these guys have completely forgotten who they really are. Before KZbin became a business I really enjoyed watching all their videos like I go back and compare and am like wow these guys have changed. There's too much foolishness now, also with the coconut oil thing naptural85 raved about it for years and years and then when she had issues with it all of a suddenly everybody started hating it no one is just doing them anymore every one is brainwashed and they're copy cats people need to chill!

[@shay18]

[@doThatGWalk]

I am in TOTAL agreement! I'm slowly becoming a natural hair rebel. Aaaaand I done went back to using hair grease, and my hair LOVES IT!!!! My hair doesn't care for coconut oil, it responds well to olive and grapeseed. Nobody ever talks about sesame oil. My hair LOVES sesame oil (I'm type 4) Thanks for the vid : )

Tonia I use sesame oil and really like grapeseed oil.

[@dkeowndk]

I like almond oil as well.

[@HairLike_Wool]

That's right! Back to basics. Had to go back to that old Blue Magic myself Shekeia

[@kathleenhall3459]

Thank you so much! I have been natural for 3 years now. When i started watching the natural hair videos and saw the really long hair with the same amount of time, man was I discouraged. So happy someone is telling the truth.

[@Ms.VivaValdez]

Amen to the coconut oil comments!! That mess dried my hair out so bad!! Like you say....find the oil that works for you! Morrocan Oil Treatment is amazing, olive oil and marula oil I love!! Thanks for this video!

[@tbryant3685]

how bout when "gurus" say certain products are the best and they use them all the time they love 'em soooooooooo much but you don't any of them in their "empties" videos, or "products i love" videos...smh that whole texturizer thing is a mess too.

[@DSFAVORS]

Girl preach!

[@laquanapowell7007]

Thanks for keeping it 100. We need more honest people on youtube like this.

[@ertfgghhhh]

I think we as black women are too obsessed with our hair. If we wasnt so insecure with our hair texture and envious of others, this fallacy on youtube wouldnt be happening

[@ThatSunflowerGenasi]

It's SOO TRUE! The staples quickly disappear and never to be seen again.

[@BrittEsco]

Thank you for making this video! I always said they lie about a lot of things.

[@bina.i3287]

I couldn't believe how many women saying they were natural with texlaxs hair.. wanting to have 3b-c hair.. I really thought black women were finally loving their natural hair 😞

[@assafi7724]

PREACH!!!!! I wish I had seen you two and a half years ago. There are definitely some youtubers that have texturizers and clip ins. Yes, they declare that the kitchen herbs and spices turn you into Rapunzel!! OMG, YES! The no use shampoo junk erks me!! Lastly the crap that they sell is expensive!!! Hhhhh I'm a follower! Thanks for keeping it real!!!

[@Drawingboredi]

THANK YOU! people be using relaxer to loosen their curls and then claim ( I don't know why or how my curl pattern changed). I'd always scroll down to comments to see if anyone would call them out for using chemicals and then pretending but none ever did. I first figured out my hair was curly when I relaxed at the salon between the washing and blow drying process I sat in the mirror in amazement as I saw a perfect curl on my face. After that I tried going natural and every a few months I'd relax to loosen the curl pattern because I thought it didn't come naturally, I needed the relaxer but I shouldn't put too much or comb too much while the relaxer is in. Literally when your hair is natural and you put relaxer you can see the stretch of the curl as you comb it. The more you comb the straighter it gets so if you do it just right you get to still have a curl pattern. It'll just be looser, making detangling easier and making it easier to tie up the hair or wear curly, popping wash and goes. After a while I was like, you know what , let me actually see what happens when I don't do it and I stopped. But I told people when they asked "how is your hair like" that because why lie ? that's what I don't like about these " guru's " who LIE. Yes the perception of black hair and how they view their natural hair needs to be changed but don't misinform people coz now that'll be another hurdle. Don't get me wrong it is not every natural who does that, some Africans ACTUALLY have hair that grows in this "curl pattern " that's being praised so much resulting in certain individuals actually feeling like they have to fake it. Just like there are people with great natural butts there are those with implants. Simple methods like twist outs ,bantu ,knots or braid out and banding can help with loosing ones coil or curl so really, relaxers are not needed. There's no better way to learn your hair than actually practising the methods on it to see what works for you. Don't be fooled

[@Not_Abby_Its_Abbey]

Laying your edges with Juices and Berries and Honey. Man stop😂😂😂😂 I wasn't ready. That's so true.

[@candisecharmaine2913]

Been natural for over six years now and even I have noticed a HUGE change in the natural hair youtubers I watched then and now. I've seen these women grow their hair on camera from twa to tailbone length before my eyes but somewhere along the way something switched. I noticed curl pattern change, new products being tested that I'm sure would have never been used x amount of years ago simply for the ingredients alone! Everything is so commercial now. I guess content and new product is more exciting than the tried and true. People still care more for curl pattern and length than they do for embracing their differences and overall health and I think that's why we all fall victim when people we've gone to for years sell us those hopes. For those of you that keep asking who, just keep your eyes open and remember that at the end of the day know your product, how to apply it according to your porosity, and do what works best for you. Everybody always want to be told what to do. Use common sense and have fun. Your hair is growing either way, but it don't matter unless you're taking care of it properly ...

[@demetriaf6595]

Candise Charmaine thank you for your insight!

[@brneyedgirltv]

Thank you for your realness and honesty. There are some people who do look to youtube for guidance for their nagural hair journey and if someone that is considered a "guru" is telling them to do xyz and they do but don't get the same results it is heartbreaking and causes them to give up. Thank you again for your honesty and realness.

[@gailwilliams7151]

I'm older than these young ladies on KZbin talking about hair growth, curls, conditioners and how to make your hair grow faster. Back in my day, we wore Afros....what we did to make our hair grow, and get curls, was to oil our scalp and hair, massage it in, section and plat our hair (the girls) use those pink rollers..lol, tie a scarf on our heads at night and go to bed. In the morning, pick our hair out and style how we wanted it to look. Use hot oil treatments once a week and wash our hair every two weeks. Our hair grew, was very shiny and healthy. What is the difference between yester-year until now? Please reply..Thank You so much. Enjoyed your video. Keep it 100% .

[@DSFAVORS]

Thanks for leaving a comment. I agree, back in the day my mama put water and hair grease on my hair and I felt like my hair grew and was healthy. Now we "have" to use all natural products in order to promote growth and I think i've even fallen in the trap with all the rules. I say do whatever your hair likes!

[@Elizabeth-ts1to]

Gurus: 'MY HAIR GREW 10 INCHES IN 1 WEEK!!!' Me:💁🏾‍♀️Why you playin with my feelings!?!

[@BamaraisedMeNCpaysMe]

I got caught up in the bs too when I first went natural. You Tube was my hair bible at first lol. I spent a little too much money on hair products. Nowadays I just do it the old school way like my momma used to do it. I'm soo glad I did.

[@lenishasmith]

Oh my.....I need receipts👀 on the part about people using texturizers and relaxers.

[@darceyderosa2426]

Yeah...me, too!😲

[@natashamuyatwa6230]

I wish you mentioned the names cause we actually still follow these people without knowing. I have my suspicions😒

[@diamond852]

Natasha Muyatwa There is no need to name names. That would be gossip, nothing less. With the information she's given it's not hard to find out who is real and who is not by watching their videos.

[@onetravelingdiva]

agreed, by the title i was expected names to be exposed, not claims. i still appreciate the info

[@nicolepeter3195]

I feel like the inversion method part is person specific, but either way coming up slow is necessary because I know because I literally study this in school, if you come up too fast you will pass out , or feel dizzy , because blood would leave your brain too fast due to gravity. Same thing if you stand up too fast. Some ppl people probably don't know why you should come up slowly .

[@kayosantully1936]

Nicole Peter I'm sorry what school taught you that mess?? I am laughing my butt off.

[@san8163]

And you was absolutely right about hair grease and water giving the most moisturize defined twist or braid out...Thank you

[@michellem4]

THANK YOU for saying what I've been thinking! I've been natural way before it was a trend (1997) and am amazed at some of the advice these natural hair "experts"😒 give out. The best advice is to do what works for you.

[@user-zx5xw4yw2e]

Michelle M. u might need2 type that last sentence in big bold capital letters 😊 (I know its common sense, but u know it isn't common anymore).

[@RichardineC]

That coconut oil segment gave me LIFE!!! Lol. Thanks for the video. Def. speaking facts.

[@RichardineC]

New Subbie

[@ThatSunflowerGenasi]

This video MADE ME SUBSCRIBE! I do what I believe works for my hair. Trial, error, and LEARN.

[@wksherroable]

Girl you just earned a new subbie with this one! I have one you forgot though, let's talk about how these "gurus" like to lie about how long it really take to do some of these hairstyles! Like ooh I twisted my hair at night and woke up to a beautiful twist out, knowing good and damn well they were walking around with those twist in in for a good 3 days before they took them down!

[@metsl1870]

yes, it takes that long for my hair to dry!!!

[@muezzathestray750]

fact

[@kj7045]

I know it takes forever for my hair to dry. I kept trying to figure what I need to do differently to get my hair to dry as fast as theirs. Thanks for speaking truth.

[@maxiej6756]

Girl, you had me cracking up. I've been natural for almost 2 years. I have grey hair. Not a lot of videos for me. But thank God I have common sense. Some things just don't sound right. You are sooo on point. You just got another subscriber. Thumbs up!

[@braelynnblue]

People are jumping on these bandwagons with no research behind it. Coconut oil, according to research, is beneficial for prepooing, which prevents hygral fatigue. It is not meant to be used as a sealent, everyday oil. Stop looking at these KZbinrs and look at the science behind it! Science is objective and does not lie. New subscriber here, thank you for sharing.

[@Lafemmefutile]

Braelynn Blue Really? Interesting. I started using olive oil before shampooing and I mostly cowash. Then I use Coconut because the oil is lighter (i also use it on my skin). Am i doing it wrong?

[@widlyneraymond5679]

I don't understand growing up our mothers washed our hair with cheap shampoo and conditioner and grease our hair with Dax or dixie peach our hair was healthy and beautiful. Now all of a sudden we are using expansive oils and deep conditioners and thinks thats what supposed to make our hair healthy. My hair and my daughters thrives on cheap products at the beauty supply store. My hair doesn't like anything with coconut oil. Its about time someone spoke the truth, thanks for your honesty beautiful queen.

[@HOPROPHETA]

Widlyne Raymond S Curl moisturizer gets the job done for me.

[@michael50694]

MRSKINKY1 ditto

[@wb4882]

same my hair hates coconut oil and cowashing sucks. I like crisco for sealing

[@NaturallyJY]

Widlyne Raymond Yup. The most expensive product I own is $6. Everything I use is cheap and my hair is thriving.

[@QueenChrissy1981]

Giiirrrrllllll I subscribed before the halfway mark! I ❤️it! You are the realist! Thank you for your honesty.

[@kayj4657]

Or saying they only put water on their edges, and it stays laid......

[@prettyk5550]

Sami J Hahaha🤣 @water and stay laid

[@shaybae95]

Sami J lol right

[@gemruby41]

I totally agree about the sponsored videos. People run out and buy products based on a youtuber's review when the review was totally for a check. The Glamtwinz come on youtube reviewing hair products giving glorious reviews as if they continuously use these products. The one that got me was the Pantene Gold Series review that they did. Everything in the line was so great. They know damn well that they don't use Pantene products on the regular.

[@agirlyhasnoname]

gemruby41 I was waiting for this comment. Everything is their favorite. Everything is their holy grail. Mind you ive been subscibed to them for YEARS.

[@gemruby41]

Karina I agree. I've been subscribed to them for a long time too. I don't believe in their reviews anymore.

[@JoyDejaKing]

gemruby41 Chile, forget about them using Pantene how about it's obvious they texturizing their hair, especially Kelsey. And nah that lack of shrinkage ain't just from heat damage🙄

[@agirlyhasnoname]

gemruby41 me either. Shit. Why we still subscribed then lol. I swear it must be for their makeup tutorials or something 😂😂😂😂 Lord. She exposed all of them for real

[@agirlyhasnoname]

Joy King YES GIRL PREACH. YES. TELL IT TO THE CHOIR. Their hair got super long and super loose all of a sudden like girl if yall dont stop 😂😂😂

[@artbygenna-j1883]

I am still on my natural hair journey for the second time and it's been two years for this big chop...And everything you said in this video is half the reason I stopped coming to KZbin for hair advice....Thank you for this

[@rochellejames6204]

I wouldn't even listen to a professional stylist cause no one knows my hair and scalp better than ME

[@秋辺千春]

"I never shampoo" "I shampoo as needed" THIS IS TOO REAL

[@lavernemurphy6262]

Love love love you for this!!!! Did the big chop 2 months ago & I've ran into literally every topic you discussed! So glad that someone can finally keep it real on here!

[@franclark5564]

Soo true!! Loved this video. Just to add on ... I hate it when 'gurus' give you so called tips and one contradicts the other. e.g. how can you stop putting your hands in your hair for a month in one tip and moisturise EVERY day in the next tip? Don't you need hands to moisturise your hair these days??

[@saraababu9654]

So true !! Loved the video👏👏

[@acole2425]

Fran Clark AINT THAT THE TRUTH!!!! 💯💯💯

[@Druesilla]

😂😂😂 Don't come out here with a Just for Me texturizer and say your laid it with Juices & berry and honey 😂😂😂 girl I cant stop laughin 3:45

[@oasisfullfilled7617]

Druesilla Baugh i laughed so hard on that part🤣🤣🤣

[@carlamoore2710]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I always thought that some of it was really untrue but I didn't have any proof. What I have learned is that the way your hair grows and response is mostly genetic. So you're right when you say there are some people whose hair grows fast but there's nowhere you that your hair grows one or two feet and 6 months!!! So again Thank you for your honesty. I have Lupus and my hair grows and falls out all the time. I've mostly worn wigs most of my life , but recently my hair has begun to grow and I subscribed to your Channel about 4 months ago and I really do enjoy the advice that you give . It really does help people like me out.

[@rheadsparks659]

My mother's hair grew like crazy! she was African American and Indian! Some people's hair grow fast while other people's hair grow slow, but everybody's hair do grow!

[@FroHappy93]

Lordt! The Struggle 😩... After years of letting them fool me I went back to just using what my mom used to use when I was younger. Good ol' grease and a moisturizer/leave in spray. Went from a quadrillion products to just two cheap ones. My pockets thank me and my hair too lol

[@keyytothisera]

FroHappy93 Yup this is exactly what I went back to doing. It worked back then it'll work again today.

[@JustBemo_]

Well with the inversion method, it's about the increase of blood flow to the scalp. It's kind of like a shock to the body, but your body will get use to it if you do it too often, plus it's dangerous. The bit about coming up slow is because if you whip up to fast you can pass out or get super dizzy or have a ridiculous headache. But you are right you can't do it every day all year and expect 52"

[@WhatCantSheDo]

Omg i am hollering about the "juices, berries, and honey" ! I am with you 100% on everything you said, and I was definitely shocked about the permed edges thing. ***NEW SUBSCRIBER JUST FOR THIS VIDEO ** you will make video watching fun again 😁✌

[@ruthhouston9860]

Lol you said "layin edges down with juices, berries, and honey that's hilarious lol.

[@abigailpink1962]

[@breezbree7464]

Thanks for keeping it real!! I big chopped for the first time in 2003. Wasn't no KZbin Gurus in sight! Lol...Their was an Internet forum called Nappturality.com. And you're right it was a true forum with sisters legitimately trying to embrace truly natural hair. The type of hair not fully embraced by Black Culture let alone the rest of society. But in this forum you found a true Sisterhood bonding and support throughout the journey. And it was all about maintaining healthy natural hair the focus wasn't on the length or the curl pattern. I really miss that authenticity.

[@sandyadams5032]

Thanks for keeping it real, people are wasting money on hair products, don't believe the (HYPE) l wash my hair weekly or biweekly at times, l use regular hair grease and shampoo l've tried coconut, black castor oil, olive oil and sort but l always go back to what my mother use on my hair as a young child plain old grease and shampoo lm saving lots of money and my hair is growing just fine!
