NEW FAVORITE COMBO & REFRESHING MY HAIR DAILY Post No Oils, Butters & Curly Cuts‼️

[@AfrikanHairGod]

If she called herself a bald headed baddie.... Wouldn't that be a complement... As she was complementing her new look.... There's a tone and a space for people that have dealt with alopecia and hairloss but let's also allow space for people to enjoy and celebrate their acceptance of their loss of hair in whatever form that comes in. Both Shelly and the commenters feelings are valid but one shouldn't impose over another when the tone and intent was jokingly and playful. Just my thoughts as a bald headed baddie 🧑🏾‍🦲

[@shelly.v.247]

Hmmmmm great point. I didn’t think about it like that but that’s exactly how I was thinking and feeling about it all. I definitely like to thinking of it as someone saying you’re still just as beautiful short, or bald. It doesn’t matter! 😍 You are a baddie-zaddie Rada‼️😍💯✨

Thank you Luv and I pray she’s not. 💖🙏🏽 Wearing my hair straight is easier to maintain daily but it’s a lot to do because of how short it is. So wearing it curly is easier to do but then I have to refresh it daily for it to look right. 😅 I’ve been leaning towards wearing it curly more often right now but I might switch it up soon. ✨💖

[@LethalLemonLime]

4:36 you heard so many people say it because it's such a massive thing in our community to call people bald-headed when they clearly aren't bald headed. ever since i was born black in America all you ever hear is other black people calling other black people bald headed for having short hair or saying that people are bald-headed under their wigs and weaves. it's such common place in black American spaces that it makes sense two jokingly call yourself bald-headed for having short hair since for a long time (and even still nowadays) people still use that as an insult against black women with short hair or who they assume to have short hair or even all of us as a whole.

[@shelly.v.247]

You know, you’re so right about everything you said! I never even stopped to think about it in those terms. However, I will say that presently I hear it used in a much different context. I hear people say it as a very positive way and highlight it to mean you look extremely stunning! For example, when I was talking about big chopping several of my friends told me to come on over and join them in bald headed baddie world! They said girl you’re going to be super sexy fly with short hair! So I just repeated what I was hearing because I thought it meant something positive. 😬 But you raise a great point and I think it can honestly go both ways because I’ve heard it positioned as such. So I’m just gonna stick with saying I’m a short haired baddie now. However, at this point I might even just drop it all together 👀🫣😝

Yeah, had me thinking I was bald headed as a teenager. I looked back at those photos and thought "WHAT?". We hate ourselves and each other but will pick up pitchforks when someone else attacks us. It's a demonic spirit.

Finally found someone w my hair type!!!! Yay🎉 That cut looks GREAT on you! I've been doing a daily wash n go 20yrs. The last 10yrs, I've been keeping it in a tapered cut, but even when it was on my back I drenched in the shower daily. My hair just loves water and its always too flat in the AM to not drench it. The Hawaiian Silky spray has been in my arsenal since the 90s! Extremely underrated. The Doux mousse made my hair feel like straw so I was turned off from the brand, but seeing your results makes me wanna try the gel! So glad to have found you! New Subscriber 💚💕

[@shelly.v.247]

Omgoodness welcome Sis❣️ I wish I had known about the Hawaiian Silky a long time ago! It’s the truth and just like you said, it’s very underrated! I’m curious, what have you been told your hair type is? I think I’ve figured it out but it can still be a little confusing. I also now think it’s important to know because it helps in eliminating products that won’t work. Speaking of products. I love Big Poppa because it holds my curls without the crazy crunch. I prefer soft and flexible curls. What’s your styler of choice that you reach for daily? So glad you’re here!!!! 💖😘

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

@@shelly.v.247 Thanks for the welcome sweetie! I'm a baby fine textured 3C/4A. I have the shrinkage of type 4 and the texture usually seen in type 3. Stylists and other naturals always say it's 3C, but it shrinks way too much to really be. I like the LOIS hair typing system bc it focuses on curl shape/pattern and texture vs curl size. That's what really matters when it comes to how your hair will respond to products and ingredients. My hair hates silicones and heavy oils. I like hydrating ingredients like water, glycerin, and aloe. All the products I love have those in the first few ingredients. My daily go-to is Cantu Care for Kids Leave in. It's thick, moisturizing, and hydrating. My fave foam is Elite Hair Care USA, and my favorite soft gel is Pattern Beauty Styling Custard. Firm gel is 4UByTia. When my hair was long, I loved the clear Fantasia IC Gel w Sparklelites.

[@shelly.v.247]

@@JG_SmileSOBright I did a refresher on LOIS. It definitely makes better sense to figure out your hair’s elements because you’re right about the size of the curl not being helpful at all.

[@2010NursingStudent1]

The excitement I got from seeing a new video from you🤩 Love the information & demonstration you showed❣️ Can you explain what made you choose the specific leave in and cream styler you used? Just getting input on how to go about choosing products (it’s sooooo many to choose from). I don’t have any social medias (keeps me out of trouble😄) so I’m not able to view your IG lives😔

[@shelly.v.247]

Aww you’re so dang sweet and thank you! 💖 Yes I can explain what I’m looking for when selecting products because chile there are so many!!! 😅 Leave-in: I’m just looking for something that pairs well with my styling products. Meaning it won’t cause flaking or for it to bead up. 😝 I also realize my hair loves thick and creamy products. So I reach for stuff like that now. Unless I’m silk pressing my hair. Then I want a very light leave-in. Creamy Styler: I have been trying different ones out (on IG 😛) to help capture a more moisturized wash and go. Especially since I want soft, touchable and flexible curls. The issue is you have to find one what doesn’t cause flaking or beading up with a gel styler. Gel Styler: I look for something with a medium to soft flexible hold. If I use Big Poppa by itself, it’s a little too hard drying for me. So I’ve added in a cream styler to help soften it. Lastly, I live a in very dry climate. So I also pick my stylers to accommodate that part of the equation. However, I currently am in a semi humid climate for vacation and my hair is loving the humidity with this combo. Hope that all makes sense and is helpful. 💖🤗

[@shelly.v.247]

How do you know when your lipid layer is gone ?

[@anissacorbin32]

I big chopped and I have to refresh everyday. I have low density and fine strands so my hair be flattttt in the morning.

[@shelly.v.247]

How long ago did you big chop? Girl you saw how my hair be looking in the morning. It’s giving straight helmet! 👀🤣

[@anissacorbin32]

@shelly.v.247 I big chopped last August and have been keeping it in a curly taper cut. I am thinking about doing a short pixie and wearing it straight for about 6 months before I grow it back. I've never gone that short before, so I say why not before I grow it back out. It's easier to go shorter when your hair is already short.

[@shelly.v.247]

@anissacorbin32 I say do it and get the experience of all that short hair can be! I’ve enjoyed it so much and I’ve been have so much fun with it! And you’re right, it’s so much easier to go shorter when you’re already there. Going from long to short now that can be a tad more challenging to do. lol 😆

[@Neesha242]

What shampoo and conditioner do you use?

[@shelly.v.247]

I have different shampoos and conditioner I’m liking. My current fav is the Dove Peptide Bond Builder because it leaves my hair feeling very silky. 💖

[@DJRenee]

13:30 yes you do

[@shelly.v.247]

Yes to the growth we are getting in 2024! 🙏🏽💖🥳

[@LoXena]

Nothing to do with the video but I'm back to lifting weights at the gym and I have a question..how do you do to avoid fatigue and exhaustion? I'm always tired and can't keep up with my job 😭.

[@jdbailey442]

When was the last time you had your Vitamin D and Ferritin/Iron levels checked? If either is deficient or on the lower end of normal, you will feel exhausted. Also, make sure you have a regular nighttime schedule, and if you drink coffee during the day, that you stop around 11am-12pm. Caffeine stays in your system for 12 hours.

[@shelly.v.247]

Great question! So I would say you need to look at 3 things to start with. 1. Depending on how long ago you started working out you could just be tired from starting a new workout routine. That can last 1-3 weeks. 2. You could have 1 or more vitamin deficiencies. I’d check vitamin D, Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) for starters. 3. It could also be your thyroid or sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone etc.). So you might want to consider getting everything fully checked out. There could definitely be other reasons why but these would be a great place to start. Hope it’s helpful and great job on getting back into the gym! ✨💪🏽✨

[@LoXena]

@@shelly.v.247 Thank you for your anwser. 🙏🏾 ❤️ I'm going to check everything with my doctor.

[@LoXena]

@@jdbailey442 Thank you for your answer 🙏🏾 I'll take an appointment to get my blood checked.

[@shelly.v.247]

@@jdbailey442 Yup‼️💯

[@TheRenee115]

Looks great and glad it works. As a matter of education, why do you think you need all 3, though.

[@michelleej]

I have a TWA (1.5”) and I’ve been adding my moisturizer every other day. On the other days, I find that spraying my hair with water and running my hands over my hair is all I need to do. I can still feel the moisturizer on my hair. I’m also not focused on curl definition, so maybe that’s the thing. Considering your question, I might even be able to go longer in between applications.

[@shelly.v.247]

Thank you and great question! I use the Hawaiian Silky as my leave-in so I don’t consider it a styler. I live in the desert and desire a very soft and moisturized wash and go so I used a cream based styler for that reason. Hence the CurlDaze creamy curl styler. Next, I need something with some hold because the cream styler doesn’t offer enough to hold my curls fully. I also wanted something that doesn’t dry hard and crunchy. Big Poppa is the perfect styler to top it all off! Lastly, the reason I don’t just use Big Poppa alone is it dries down too hard and stiff for my hair when I use it alone. I hope that all makes sense. 🥰

[@TheRenee115]

​@@shelly.v.247 It does! Your curls look juicy so it must be the right combo for them to thrive. Thank you

[@shelly.v.247]

@@TheRenee115 Yeah I think I’ve finally found my perfect combo! However you know I’m a product junky and still want to try other stuff! 👀🫣🤣

[@shelly.v.247]

@@michelleej Yeah you just might be able to especially if you don’t care about definition. I also personally think that’s probably the better approach too. 💖

I drench my hair every day. Also, stop apologizing for how people take things. Move on and forget them.

[@shelly.v.247]

So I take it that your hair thrives when you wet it daily? My hair seems to absolutely love it! 😍 I get what you’re saying but I was wrong and just needed her to know I heard her loud and clear. I’m thankful she received my apology. 🥹🙏🏽

[@denyshadials5702]

I’m super late (obviously), but can we stop pushing our personal beauty standards on other people?…that’s not their responsibility to adhere to them…. And what I’m speaking to is less of this video specifically and more to a long-standing perspective of American men and women when it comes to women with short hair and bald heads. I’m quite over it if you can’t tell. There are whole cultures, older cultures, black cultures, where women and girls wear bald heads, femininity and beauty unbothered. They would never see their baldness in a negative or masculine light, it would be unheard of. It’s perfectly fine to appreciate the long-haired woman beauty standard. I’m an active participant myself. What does that appreciation have to do with other women choosing to explore another standard? Is it not their right? It certainly isn’t unhealthy to cut your hair. Who are we to take away a beauty and confidence that they never gave up? Just because you might in the same scenario due to your personal beliefs. Can we not just celebrate each other and call it a day? Honestly, in her situation, it truly sounded like she was grieving a loss of something important to her. I recognize that. Though I don’t see that as a reason to impress your grief upon other people, especially via the internet. Personally I think that’s reserved for your Circle. Nobody else is responsible for someone else’s grieving process. They have a right to offer you support or leave you be. It was very understanding, gracious and unnecessary for you to apologize.

People are way too sensitive

[@shelly.v.247]

I know I can be very sensitive about certain things so I get it. 💖🙏🏽

[@jackseve]

OMG Really???? People too sensitive. You can not transfer YOUR issues on other people. They don’t know you and are speaking from their experience. PLEASE stop it with this whole victimization position and then try to guilt trip people due to YOUR personal issues. Jesus ask God to help you if you find offense in something someone has said. The reality is OFFENSES may come. Did anyone call your name specifically? NO? Then keep it MOVING.

[@shelly.v.247]

Ugh I feel you but I understand where she was coming from. Like she said, I’m not bald and there is a difference between that and having a short styled haircut. So I just wanted her to know I heard her and was sorry for any offense taken. Hopefully I can do a better job of not repeating what happened. 😅 Thank you for your love who support Sis! 💖
