Sometimes I come back to this video to see how far she has come!

[@bethelgrace4490]

Who else is watching this in 2022! Bless & love u gal. Mastering a thing or 2 from you.

[@thechicnatural]

most certainly! i would think that the only diff would be that the front part would be smaller, but its totally workable. try it and see

[@feince]

Transitioned to natural hair about a year ago and have been so bad at taking care of it and doing it up, this had totally inspired me, literally leaving my house right now to go to beauty supply store. Thank you :)

[@KidswithGuts]

Finally i found it! I have natural and uneven hair so its hard to find styles that fit the retro style i love. You did it! RESPECT!

[@starbsj]

Looks like a perfect style for winter months when you need to keep your hair off your wool collars. Thanks!

[@Nideh91]

Oh my goodness! Was trying desperately to find something to do with my hair for the roomy's graduation tomorrow and was quite worried about attempting this style...my hair is super THICK and not too long...YET *hopefully*. I love retro styles so i said "nothing beats a failure but a trial" and attempted it. OMG it worked! had to apply ecostyler to my hair in order to make it soft enough to do the two twists in the back but omg! so happy with the results. Thanks a bundle! Consider me subscribed!

[@shanae8278]

ITS CRAZY HOW EASY U MAKE THESE THINGS LOOK!! OMGG! U R SUCH INSPIRATION TO ROCK A DIFFERENT NATURAL STYLE EVERYDAY!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT UR VIDEOS!! KEEP IT UP!! #LOVEITLOVEITLOVEIT

[@imnicmarie]

This style is an awesome "end of the week" do! I did it just this past Friday and got a ton of compliments! Thanks for the quick and easy to follow videos. Our hair is at the similar stage so I really appreciate it..

[@thechicnatural]

i will do a tutorial, not sure when, but ill try to do it soon

[@thechicnatural]

aww thanks! glad u liked it!

[@thechicnatural]

its an option in iMovie, and thanks!

[@iamlaurengill]

Doing this when I wash tomorrow. Quick, easy, and will protect my hair from the harsh cold.

[@MarielikestoCrochet]

Love the evolution. My hair never grew like hers though lol

[@MsWillita8]

It's crazy to see your hair then and now😊

[@carrietoo]

Funny. There's a debate in one of her video's comments as to whether she has any 4c hair at all. I came back here to check. Clearly she does.

[@thechicnatural]

i don't do much. i wash/exfoliate nitely with apricot scrub, and apply target brand acne cream to my problem areas. thats it! HOWEVER, i noticed a big improvement when i stopped eating meat a few yrs ago :)

[@thechicnatural]

appreciate the compliment. thank you!

[@thechicnatural]

i have no idea haha! some ppl tell me they're hazel, some say light brown..idk

[@thechicnatural]

i will certainly try to get around to it

[@thechicnatural]

thanks! and i'd imagine it would work the exact same way for long hair. just tuck the front tighter

[@thechicnatural]

no prob! ur so welcome!

[@thechicnatural]

nope , i stretched it. i have a link to the tutorial in the description box :)

[@thechicnatural]

thanks hun! and yes i sure can

[@thechicnatural]

yea the hold is great! i always get mine from sally's. but it does can flake tho, thats the only thing i dont like about it

[@thechicnatural]

aww im glad my vids are helpful!

[@thechicnatural]

haha right before i filmed this, i did a hair stretching vid. i just have to edit it and will upload soon :)

[@thechicnatural]

I dont, but i will prob do a similar makeup look tutorial soon

[@thechicnatural]

[@thechicnatural]

[@thechicnatural]

[@thechicnatural]

[@thechicnatural]

[@thechicnatural]

[@readingmaniac54]

Wow I love simple easy styles that take no time to do and look nice.

[@AdrienneHailey]

[@reneebey7890]

It's nice to see an updo that naturals with shorter lengths of hair can do. My hair is your length and it's been a pain in the ass to put it in an updo.

[@Niasmar]

Love this style! My hair is currently this length and im soo excited to try it

I love how you twisted your hair up. Gotta practice that.

[@hizntrest78]

Fab! You made this look really easy! I will be definitely trying this style soon, thanks for sharing!

[@nesquikk1234]

I wear this style all the time but I always just pin the back up ! When I watched this I was first of all excited that I wasnt the only one wearing this style and also because now I can do flat twist in the back not just pinn it up !

[@thechicnatural]

yay! and congrats on your natural journey. trust me it gets better :)

[@ekb1f]

This is actually my signature style. Instead of flat twist I do 2 french braids. Thumbs up.

[@thechicnatural]

ur welcome!!

[@ahnatural2011]

oh... so that's how you flat twist? this is the first video i've watched where it made sense to me. will definitely be trying this. it's really cute and definitely me.

[@thechicnatural]

[@thechicnatural]

[@blacknsmallbuys]

You make it look easy. I tried doing 2 flat twist, but my hair is WAAY thicker than yours lol. I guess I'll have to do at 5 for it to work.
