" Not only was my hair growing , I was growing my self " - WillonaWhim

[@WillOnAWhim]

IT'S TRUEE 😊

[@djlyons]

jovanosborne081999 oh wow q 😱😍🙌😇

[@icecol22]

I wore locks for 11 years(June1999 to December 2010.It was an experience,a journey. I got compliments and stares with negative comments. People treated me differently as my hair grew longer.People locked their car doors,and grabbed their purses whenever passed by.I prepared myself for that several months before getting my hair locked.Keep up the great work.

[@ahoneekesong9004]

That was messed up. Those people were so ignorant

[@richmond283]

Don't see why anyone would call your hair nappy you have a nice hair texture even when you had a fro

[@Mikayla320]

Sometimes it's just jealousy and people act like all black hair is the same which is nappy and people also use it as an insult. I've had people tell me that my hair is really curly and then when they're mad at me they will say that it's nappy.

[@WillOnAWhim]

😂 I would agree that the beauty industry for black hair from the jump was about getting rid of any curl, tress, kink, or coil. Decades later, we're dealing with a lot of issues and having to break away from standards that don't allow us to just be black and beautiful.

[@WillOnAWhim]

HATERS GONE HATE. Nappy is no longer an insult for me. The power of an insult lies in how it affects the person it was thrown at.

[@thefashionnewb]

These are like hair Glo Up Goals!

[@WillOnAWhim]

😂💀 Thanks, Bakeem! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

[@sophiamazurek1698]

You go, Baby. Many folks are confused/ insecure in their selves - and have trouble with those who are connected and joyful... which is the result of being connected. Thank you for SHARING your joy and teaching others how to connect and experience joy, too.

[@spl.1524]

Thanks for being transparent. I always love your hair. Enjoyed being a part of your hair journey. You have helped me so much on my own journey.

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Yay for hair journey videos! I feel like twists are your signature style. But I'm loving that throwback bandana look.

[@WillOnAWhim]

I'LL BE TWISTING UNTIL I'M OLD.

[@fatimazara8246]

LOVE THIS. Happy 3 years, I just hit my two year mark and I couldn't be any happier about it. Keep slaying Will, I love watching your growth xo

[@WillOnAWhim]

THANK YOU! Time literally flies by. In 2017 #WeGoneSlay

[@mrod87]

You have stamped and certified my mini twists journey for the year. I am getting a trim this weekend! I think my hair has done its best when its “out” and not in super sleek styles and when it’s protected...so having the freedom to style it but keep it protected is amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey, i plan to document mine bc of u! Also, more women could stand to learn hair care from men, we can’t all have a do the most maintenance routine.

[@JasmineNicoleCogdell]

Your hair is so beautiful & I'm glad it brings you joy! 🤗 thank you for wanting that same happiness for all of us on our natural hair journey!

[@kelvinwillingham1832]

Thank you so much. I’m only 3 months into regrowing my hair after losing it. And your message and your journey are so inspiring. ✊🏽💯🙏🏽💜

[@linpooh08]

Your whole healthy hair journey snatched my whole life and them shaved sides was so cool looking😱😍😍❤️❤️❤️ keep doing you. I’ve been natural for 8yrs and I get so many compliments on my long hair when it’s straight...but I love my curls so much more!

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

[@WillOnAWhim]

OMG THANK YOU! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊💕

[@1908prettylawyer]

This video was so well done. Love your message & energy as well! 👏👍✊

[@AngelRoMa]

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing your journey. Your hair is beautiful!

[@Genolocs]

I combed out my dreads and I lost so much length. Though, I'm so excited to start my hair journey again. This time, embracing the curls! inspiring video! cheers!

[@kinderswat5337]

heyy j aime trop tes videos ,tu me fais beaucoup penser à moi question personnalité c'est marrant ..moi je suis à 3 ans et 6 mois et j ador cette aventure capillaire see you pretty boy !!!

[@TawandaVance]

When I was 16 I decided to grow my hair out. I wore braids for 10 months. Now that was in 96 when there wasn't as many products for natural black hair so if I didn't use activator, I'd just blow dry it straight or get it straighten. I even learned how to press my own hair. Some people in my family would feel the need to make comments but I never went back. Thank God for the natural hair care products that are out now and more of us are embracing our hair.

[@sunflower9498]

Best darn hair journey I’ve seen!!! Thumbs up 👍🏾

[@hakunamatata1401]

💕💕💕 this video just gave me a push to get up stop being lazy😅 ,wash my hair & start some twisting

[@WillOnAWhim]

YAS! GET UP AND GET THAT HAIR RIGHT. 💃🏾

[@quasiamerritt8638]

[@ThatJesusMusic]

Wow ok, that's why you know how to twist & braid so well! This is all new to me but I'm determined to start growing my hair too & I'll post videos on my personal youtube channel in the next month or so. This is pretty inspirational.

[@Shemaccoe]

Man i love you, your the best, you walk that walk, soo you know👍🏽

[@MsRouge2000]

YOUR HAIR IS VERY PRETTY!

[@WillOnAWhim]

THANK YOU! 😊

[@kobelambert8250]

I was actually going to get my hair cut today which is 9-10 inches long simply bc it can be a pain in the butt to take care of it everyday. But this video encouraged me to continue growing it. And plus I'm at a young age so might as well start now.

[@melanatedcutie748]

hello new subbie 😊 this video totes gave me life !!! I love your hair journey, thank you for sharing your story with us. it definitely helped me I'm still in the beginning of the stages. I can't wait until my hair is longer but I'm embracing my natural look. 💕💕💕❤❤

[@m00dsw1ngs]

The 28th will be my 5th month. I previously grew it for 1 year and I miss it. My new goal is 2 years and I'm not stopping after that

[@neski311]

AWESOME! Im like uhhh 1 year and 7 months! Halfway there buddy! You look so damn gorgeous!

[@mattyrm8049]

OMG THE BANDANA THING! I recently started to embrace the curls and i have the awkward mini afro so I'm all about bandanas right now 😂 Great to know I'm not the only one

[@mattyrm8049]

I think i just fell in love with you. You've just earned yourself a female subscriber, your tips just resonate more with me

[@mscdilly51]

Awesome vid. Your hair is beautiful in all your styles. I have ignored my hair for months (major life changes). But you make me want ti get back on my journey.

[@shurroncovington1182]

Very informative....I enjoyed your hair journey an loved the pictures from beginning to end (I love your hair)

[@xavolian3364]

After I saw one of you earlier videos I began growing my hair I many textures so my fro starts to look weird so I just do protective styles it will be year 2 in the summer of 2017

[@staciii]

The king of twists

[@justinehorton2527]

It's been 2 months since I cut all my hair off a second time and so far my go to is kinky curly knot today or tgin leave in and Shea moisture curling gel souffle Edit: I'm loving myself more and more. Very slowly, but I'm getting there

[@kureshu1327]

Hey what about now?

[@alwandekhumalo4397]

u r right about the fact that our hair is attached to our emotions coz i was forced to cut mine and i was so angry and insecure about it dude, now i have to start all over

[@madam417]

i love you man! keep up with the videos!!!!

[@WillOnAWhim]

💕 Thank you! I gotchu.

[@darlingakosua5002]

[@guavapastries2727]

[@Shemaccoe]

[@angeliafairchild8976]

[@mackenziec8552]

Your hair is majestic asf

[@GQuarters]

This video helped inspire my own hair journey even though it's just been 2 months lol but I'm subscribed and using your vlog as goals/motivation so thanks Will

[@suzange14]

OBSESSED with your channel! You have beautiful hair! p.s. NaturallyPhilo sent me ;)

[@queenorb]

I have watched a few of your videos so loving your hair you didn't have nappy hair you were just natural to begin with so all those people didn't know good hair 😍😗😘

[@ReadLoveListen]

This will be an awesome video to show my boys.

[@chicagogirl14]

So happy I found you! Just subscribed minutes before this video was uploaded so I'm happy to see you still make videos. How do you moisturize your shaved sides or do you?

[@WillOnAWhim]

AYE WELCOME TO THE FAM! I I do moisturize my sides...I'll be making a vid on it soon!

[@scgdirtyb8922]

Love your Chanel. Beautiful hair

[@WillOnAWhim]

Yesss! Thank you! Glad to have you watching, fam!

[@diamondanderson2592]

Thank you Soooo much for this video!!

[@TheFallonw]

Omgggg I loveeeeee you you just gained a subbie

[@50CentMe1]

I'm almost at 3 years. 2 and a half years atm 😃

[@WillOnAWhim]

YES! It's been a long time coming. 😂

[@RODDAL]

Honestly Thank you so much you're and inspiration and one of the people that keep me on my journey. Thanks to you I can ignore the bad comments and focus on the good.

[@WillOnAWhim]

This is soooo good to hear. Hang in there and remember that your hair is YOURS. #BlockTheHaters2017

[@Hoenhighn1]

Genetically why do you think you have your hair texture? What black people have it? I'm 1/4 white and I have straight up unmanageable shrinking 4c.

[@WillOnAWhim]

I think 4c hair is beautiful! It's been portrayed as unmanageable for years and years because it's done the perm industry good. 😩 But black people can have a range of hair textures that I think should all be celebrated. I don't attribute my hair texture to any other race. I'm black. My hair texture is probs just a result of the random nature of DNA. 😊

[@downhomematron]

Omg you need to come to SC and have a meet and greet....just with me lol cause you're amazing. I need some of that spoken knowledge of hair from you.

[@WillOnAWhim]

One day, maybe! 😂 💞💞💞💞

[@downhomematron]

Lol okay!😂😁😆

[@micarae]

You have a wonderful story and a beautiful soul. You also have a gorgeous head of hair. I have to applaud you for sharing the mental part of your journey. I have had my share of former "mental terrorists dressed as friends" (big ups to tracyg for that quote) who tried to dampen my spirit and passion, of educating those who want to learn, regarding health hair care. Yes, we all have other talents, interests and hobbies in our individual lives, but our hair is part of who we are. Keep educating and uplifting brother.🤗🤗

[@WillOnAWhim]

😌😌😌 THANK YOU. Your words are much appreciated. I do it for the kids! We definitely need some uplift!

[@KustomMadeOTK]

Im a sophomore rn but im starting my life over after break and im going to grow my hair out i had baby dreads and my hair grew an inch in a month because for some reason my hair grew twice as fast because it was the only protective style but i let a bully kill my confidence and cut it off but i realize i gotta take care of my nappy dry head so i can watch my fro grow while i begin working out and getting pursuing my career path. A way i cope with the time is Snapchat streaks itll also help me gain a sense of consistency but im not going to cut it at all tbh

[@tellysmuse5069]

You looked like Jermaine Stewart with your hair straightened 😊

[@xemeraldwitchx6142]

1.) YOUR HAIR IS AMAZING!!! 2.) What’s your hair type??

[@mandyfish2720]

I got my last haircut at the end of April and I feel it's too short to do a protective style, but I want growth. My hair is a little longer than an inch so do you have any advice? Did the bandannas make your hair grow?

[@jayy9965]

It was the Bantu knots 😭💕

[@sammuelconey787]

When you first begin growing your hair, which products were you using?

[@WillOnAWhim]

Warm water and coconut oil was the name of the game for like the first year of my journey

[@ULTIMATEMaLtA45]

do you put water first then the coconut oil?

[@adelopez27]

FlacooReacts water first, water is moisture

[@jovanosborne081999]

you need a theme song !!!

[@WillOnAWhim]

HONESTLY I WOULD LIVE FOR A THEME SONG 😂

[@quirkqueen5454]

omg it's me! (at 1:39) on Day 1 at Brown loll right before (or after) we got stuck in that elevator!

[@WillOnAWhim]

Quirk Queen Lmbo! Yes, it was definitely just before we got stuck in the elevator 😩😩😂

[@richardclarke8071]

What was some of the things u use in ur hair to make it grow out bc I have braids right now and I'm using this hair oil and Indian oil to make it grow

[@WillOnAWhim]

Honestly....I think what really made my hair grow was water. Nourishing your hair with oil and other vitamins is important, but keeping your hair hydrated prevents breakage. For the longest time, I would just wet my hair with warm water and immediately follow it up with coconut oil. It worked wonders ✨

[@malikblunt9372]

I have no CLUE, how to twist, cornrow, bantu knot, or curl my hair. I don't know how to take care of it, how to make it straight, how to trim the edges, how to get it to grow.. it just gets thick... and stays at a certain height lol. I'm so mad...

[@groovyjuan8276]

God has a plan for you follow it God bless amen

[@nazarabdalla1055]

Who remembered KSI when he said bandana? 😂😂

[@ajamoniq]

He is so goddamn beautiful

[@WillOnAWhim]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jovanosborne081999]

you should do a tutorial for coils

[@jovanosborne081999]

finger coils , coil out , comb coils , etc...

[@WillOnAWhim]

I did finger coils once, and clearly did them incorrectly...I'll definitely try them again!

[@cocoaskyco]

You are stunning ❤️

[@WillOnAWhim]

Aww, thank you! 💞

[@jeyrandall2891]

I love your hair!

[@shauniebnaturalista6672]

Okay, you get the thumbs up, just for the "young hustler." LOL

[@Viasity]

Your hair is so beautiful.

[@WillOnAWhim]

THANK YOU 😊❤️

[@derrickgordon5314]

My hair has grown 6/7 inches in the past 2 years. I wear cornrows and get them once a month. So I can't do all the regular treatments. Do you have any suggestions?

[@WillOnAWhim]

I would say to just make sure you are still moisturizing your scalp and the ends of your cornrows! When you take down the cornrows...deep condition your hair before putting them back in!

[@derrickgordon5314]

Thanks Will

[@pookie2011ism]

Did you ever get your hair lined up when it was in the fro?

[@WillOnAWhim]

I did! But only every once in a while. I found that getting a shape up too often didn't allow me to experience the full potential of my baby hairs. 😂

[@pookie2011ism]

WillOnAWhim good point.. Thanks for the reply.. #Suscribed

[@saigoblue1536]

My hair is still in a mini Afro and I have to constantly wear a hat to work which is hard to do with my hair hmwhat hairstyle can I where to make it more comfortable

[@lavendersky6400]

_I have an afro, mine is kinky curly. but when I blow dry it, it's pretty much straight and long, (shoulder length). I'm trying to get it somewhat like yours. my family tells me to cut It but i don't want to. I want something for me for once. a style that I'll like. but my hair is thick and kinda hard to manage but I can do it. my hair is a part of me. I hated hair cuts. so if anyone has any suggestions or help I would really like it._

[@DarrylCUR]

2:25 omg such a look.

[@WillOnAWhim]

I'm finna start wearing bandanas again! 😂

[@black_deus]

Was that straightening a relaxer?

[@tesloachgaming1757]

Wana grow my hair 😊 What products would you recommend?!

[@maryjblush]

ayyeee 1st braids

[@WillOnAWhim]

💞💞💞

[@kareem4u]

is this your natural hair texture

[@jasonkaramo9711]

You have a really great grade of hair. Do you have any advice for me I'm growing my hair out and my texture is thick,nappy and kinky

[@WillOnAWhim]

No matter your hair type, I'd say keeping your hair healthy is most important. Make sure your moisturizing as often as possible, trimming when necessary, protecting your hair with braids, twists, buns etc and with satin scarves/caps/pillowcases at night, deep conditioning regularly, and making sure your hair gets a good cleaning every once in a while!

[@jasonkaramo9711]

WillOnAWhim Thank you very much. I've been moisturizing and using daily leave in conditioner and covering my hair at night

[@taylamorris]

The front of my hair is the same. so after I straighten it, it looks straight and the rest of my hair looks curly.

[@staindat]

Plz reply my hair goes to my eyebrows when I pull it but it seems not to be growing I've been growing it since August 2016

[@davidtillman137]

Do you have a perm in your hair?

[@salmamohammed3954]

how long did you're hair grow in a year?

[@WillOnAWhim]

While it varied over the last 3 years, I'd say on average my hair grew 5-8 inches each year!

[@MsTellitlikeitis48WithTheTea]

Your hair is really nice, what is you nationality if you don't mind me asking.

[@maxpink]

I love your channel. What song is that at the end tho?

[@WillOnAWhim]

Don't Touch My Hair (cover) by Tia P. SUCH A GOOD SONG

[@jannetteeffinger4142]

Nice Video!

[@DaveThundercloud]

Is this good for balding men?

[@vanilla6754]

Do I have to where those hair styles for my hair to grow? Or can I just wear an afro

[@deronferrelltv5620]

Soo no flat irons? Got you

[@WillOnAWhim]

Not for me, at least! 😂 You have to really do the research beforehand to minimize your chances of damage!

[@alyshanelson59]

So inspiring

[@videoguy640]

. So I'm shedding a lot and I don't know why. Tips?

[@WillOnAWhim]

So there are a few things that might be contributing to excessive shedding. 1. Overmanipulation - styling your hair too often can stress out your follicles and cause strands to fall out 2. Dry hair - sometimes lack of moisture results in brittle hair that easily breaks and sheds. YOU GOTTA KEEP THAT WATER IN! 😂 3. Stress - If you've been experiencing regular stress from just living life...you just might see extra shedding.

[@fernandowhite7951]

If my hair is a mini fro and sort of dry and had breakage do i have to cut it all off

[@austencadogan1439]

You should do a blog channel
