My Go To HIGH PUFF for short type 4 hair

[@curlycurldream4276]

Since Jess cut her hair, I feel like I finally have someone to go on this journey with. So it wasn't in vain girl!

[@PolishMePurdy]

I feel the same way. I had big chopped a few years ago but didn’t take care of it how I should have. Just cut it again 2 days ago (not completely bald this time). And I feel like I have a friend doing it with me.

[@jctell1014]

I totally agree. I just had to do a big chop on my daughter's hair because of severe heat damage. It's so much easier to wash, detangle and style. We literally just finished twisting her hair like Jess's last video.

[@TiarreaB.Naturally]

Right now our hair is about the same length. 😍

[@shirastone2189]

Yesss I just cut my hair this month also 🙌🏾❤️❤️

[@raych32392]

Girl, I hate that you need to explain yourself to these haters. If you think your hair is short then it's short, period. Anyways you look great, your short hair looks great, and those curls are POPPIN' ❤️❤️

[@amoryll36]

I totally agree! I know what she means when she says short. Ppl need to put things in perspective already🙄

[@Shaneebug25]

Thank you. People be doin the most. On her video telling her what to say. They need to knock it off.

[@pinkapple1964]

So true

[@Marie19980]

Exactly, some ppl in the hair community be toxic for no reason! She knows her own hair more than yall do its short

[@blackketo0975]

Her hair is not short omg

[@allisoncoleman1203]

It’s short...if y’all don’t leave this girl alone about HER hair 🙄

[@ShamyraC]

Nobody labels their videos as “awkward stage” in their titles (If you do.. STOP) 😆😆 I consider my fro as “short” too. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@ShamyraC]

Lakisha Forrester but if you’re trying to reach a bigger audience then it’s smarter to use short hair.. I personally never searched awkward stage but that’s just me. I’ll have to look for some now because I’m curious 👀

[@ShamyraC]

Lakisha Forrester 😱 oh my gosh I can’t even imagine what you’re feeling!!! Do you watch nymcfly? She too cut off all her hair recently. I can’t remember if she recorded it or not but hopefully it’ll help get rid of some of the nerves. 🤗

[@ShamyraC]

Lakisha Forrester that is exactly why I’m done with heat! I rather straighten a wig before I send myself through another big chop. I totally understand! Good luck girl 🤗

[@aititelocin]

@Lakisha Forrester you should check out Tomi Alisha. She shaved her head I want to say a little over a year ago. Her growth since then has been pretty significant.

[@xolyndajay]

I'm pretty sure I smiled at you throughout this whole video. Your personality is so contagious. "Love this for you", Jess!

[@rossamuns1104]

I'm such a fan of your channel 😂😁

[@ursalawooley971]

With everything that's going on in the world right now we need this positive energy, personality and sense of humor. You are inspiring alot of women to join you on your journey of natural hair. Keep being true to yourself, keep on doing what you're doing...and I love this style on you Jess!! 🤗❤❤

[@zebraloveroi]

The worst part of “awkward length” hair is that you can’t claim long or short hair 🙄. But tbh our hair is now nearly the same length after you cut it. It’s really nice to follow someone with hair that’s almost identical in length in texture to mine 😍

[@vivianluke7908]

My opinion... cutting off those red hair was the best decision...now your hair looks healthy, and I enjoy watching your videos even more, and I notice you've been getting more views, besides it'll still grow longer. I love your hair girl...ROCK IT...Periodt!!

[@georgiaa.4306]

People alwayssss find something to complain about! 😩 I just don't understand. Sis, call your hair WHATEVER you want to call it!😂 This puff is super cute btw.

[@janellecarrington5386]

Boo you hair is shorter than it was, so the opposite of long is short. You don’t need to keep explaining yourself boo, we got you and love you and are so glad you are sharing this journey with us. Ignore those that want to make a big deal about nothing. Peace, love and glow up.

[@Glor137]

doesn't matter what you do to your hair it's perfect and you're beautifullllll😘😘😘

[@jamesbraden7561]

AMEN!!!!

[@CoCoButterCurls]

Yesss this is taking me back to the old Jess videos love this. You hair looks so good I definitely missed this black hair. Come thru puff, I love that for you lol

[@reeshamiller8869]

Yep a string is DEFINITELY what you use to do a puff. I use a shoestring and it’s the best, never gives me a headache. Your puff is super cute

[@Denise_Cocoa]

Reesha Miller Would a shoe string cause a lot of tension cuz of the fabric? Or do you put oil on it?

[@reeshamiller8869]

Lick My Cocoa nope it doesn’t cause a lot of tension or damage, because you control how tight it is. And because it’s not elastic, it doesn’t constantly “pull” like stretch band would. And no I don’t use oil on my hair at all

[@stephanieshaffer4131]

That elastic headache ain't no joke Jess. Lol

[@chellbell9925]

I think I’m going to start using ribbon because when I used a shoe string, I felt it snatching some hair. Honestly, if you constantly do high puffs, buns, and ponytails regardless of what you’re using, it will cause tension and start to thin the front of your hair. That’s just my experience.

[@biancalasalle9214]

Whenever i attempt to do a puff, it feels like sometimes my hair is breaking as i tug the string to create the puff( even if my hair is damp and with gel around the perimeter ). And suggestions on how to avoid that ?

[@feliciadunn644]

Girl every since you cut your hair, your hair has been popping! We’re on a growth journey together!

[@Nataye219]

Your hair is short to YOU & this is YOUR channel. You don’t have to keep explaining yourself baby girl. You hair is gorgeous short, long awkward, whatever! Lol Always remember you can’t please everyone. Someone will ALWAYS have something to say. Keep doing you boo! Most of us are here for YOU ... PERIOD!!! 🥰

[@discoveringmars756]

Cool cuz I did the twist out from the last video and I feel so silly because it didn’t come out right. Hopefully this puff looks better. Trying to get cute for Jesus 😝

[@mrslewis9475]

Am I the only one who always hits the like button as soon as her videos start?

[@shellybey3484]

Her hair is definitely short. Y’all are weird and sensitive lol. In what world is hair that does not touch you shoulders not allowed to be called short? Lmao “natural hair community rules”.

[@kld6]

I'm pretty sure those people just mad and bald headed or something people stay getting mad at every little thing😂🤣🤣

[@brwnhilarybanks9953]

maannnn this community is tiring.

[@listentoo1486]

Shelly Bey. The style is cute and I believe that's her point...I get it...

[@shellybey3484]

listentoo 1 right that is my point she said her hair IS SHORT and ppl wee correcting her like she can’t say that. So.

[@glendaWaccount]

I said her hair ain't short. Her hair is past her shoulders! It is not short. She just has shrinkage like most Type 4s. A person with short hair can't make a ponytail. Ain't nobody upset. It's clearly a difference in perspective. Y'all quick to call people hateful. It's no different than people who claim 4C but hair look like 3c. Perspective!!!

[@leilawnistovall2756]

Yo, I wish when I did my big chop, your short hair videos were around. Cause lord knows I needed all the help I could get!!🤣🤣

[@IreneElla]

Girl, my hair has been in my silk scarf as well unless I’m filming. 😂 #Quartinelife.🤷🏾‍♀️ EDGES ARE LAIDDDD! PUFF WAS FLUFFY. Yes! 😍 Try getting some flat elastic off amazon if you lose your PLT string so you can customized how long you want the string as your hair grows.

[@kayberry1532]

Love the puff I'm patiently waiting on the back of my hair to grow back since my Tapered cut so that i can do puffs again.

[@PattyyyCakeeee]

When my hair was this length it was def consider short to me! I love to use snappee’s for my puff.

[@Kamone111]

Your hair looks much healthier!

[@ShamyraC]

I am LOVING this curly fro in the beginning!!! I told you it wouldn’t be that bad!! 😆🥰

[@thokozilechabwera469]

Love your personality and energy. Always excited to watch your videos out here in South Africa ❤🤗 Stay safe and keep doing you.

[@ForTheFro876]

Edges coming back in full effect!

[@nataliewalker9682]

your vids haven’t been in my recommend list so i just binge watched all your vids since you cut your hair and i love the short hair for you!!

[@dacutestdimples]

Tip for the headbands. Get them damp and wrap around your favorite mug or jar of gel and leave for a few hours or hell overnight. It'll help stretch it out so it doesn't give those headaches!😊 Because those headaches are the actual worst and we ain't got time 😭

[@marjoriecoleman]

There's nothing wrong with saying your hair is short. The puff looks cute, love the way you do your edges! ❤💕

[@georgiaa6548]

You’re hair is so beautiful and you’re really pretty. Sending you love and prayers from England 🙏🏾💖

[@elizabethjohnson6773]

"Fluff the puff" noted! The puff came out super cute!!

[@cristinaartis3017]

Come thru consistency!

[@fro_realll]

When I was a loose natural I would use a knee high for my puffs. Similar to the string, you can make it as tight or loose as you want to without having a headache.

[@krisnkameron]

Evelyn Elizabeth that’s what I use!

[@fo6mw4vfam8]

I'm so sorry for your loss (long hair). I've been following you since I started my journey and now you're in my length range. I really appreciate the tips because they help more than you know. You are a blessing.

[@carmeld45]

Your hair looked super cute before the puff. It fits you well.

[@jerona712]

This looks so good and even though my hair is the same length and I do this same method it never comes out like this but your hair is beautiful same way ❤️

[@ebonybertelsmeyer28]

I must love you because I was watching another KZbinr video but when your video popped up, I clicked off her video and began watching yours.

[@melissamills4431]

Love that high puff on you Jess! Looking like Ledisi! 😊

[@BratDee]

This was my go-to style back when my hair was about your length. BUT puffs used to thin out my edges because I was pulling on my hairline, brushing it, doing my edges everyday to go to class. Chile, my edges said “yea, goodbye ma’am” 😭😭 I still do puffs but not as often and I use a shoelace now.

[@tiffaniw8270]

Not "yea, goodbye ma'am" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what are you using on them now...asking for myself

[@phinibahchibuye1313]

Forget the haters girl. You don't need to explain yourself to anyone.. hair is looking great ❤

[@ttothed2308]

Definitely relate to the headaches from the elastic headbands. Such a great suggestion to use the pretty ribbon instead. Love the super-healthy new hair ‘shape’. 👍🏽

[@nickoilyaburks]

Thank u our hair is pretty much the same length and i always wondered how these puffs were done...Finally after 11 years of being natural and cutting it every two years to a shaved natural...or wearing weave to cover it...im now embracing a healthy natural hair journey!

[@concreterose3939]

Your curls look so voluminous 😍😍

[@Roro7477able]

Jess hair looks much more healthier and thicker now ❤️

[@sharon4951]

NIECEY!!! Did it take a pandemic for us to get vids and I.G. posts from you on a regular??? lol Well, I'm here for it. Love seeing your beautiful face!!!

[@OnlyOneJess]

Sha'ron Jenkins hahahahaha it took my bank over drafting me every month for me to start posting videos 😂😂😂 but ugh I want to put in a protective style so bad but then I won’t be able to record :( And also, thank you!!! ☺️

[@2TuffRay]

I love how you can make such a simple hairstyle look so good! 😍😍😍

[@shuny.9451]

That's too cute 👌. I use a knee high stocking for mine and get zero headaches nor tension issues.

[@CandiedCableKicks]

I’m with you, it’s short, and that’s just fine. They’re never happy with your words 🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

[@clairerosemonday9138]

Yay I was so bored thanks for the video finally something to watch ❤️❤️

[@cynthiabesa6508]

U have made me miss my hair when I just braided ....feel like taking them down🙊🙊and your hair is looking beautiful. I equally experience a terrible headache when I use the elastic so I too use the string I cut from my old leggings 🤣🤣🤣and it doesn't hurt

[@saturnt4459]

You have renewed my interest in wearing my natural hair, no more perms for me. Thanks for the education

[@mowiththatglow3277]

I’m in Florida too! I’m in the process of combing my locs out because I missed my loose natural hair lol. I can’t wait to do my high puffs again. That’s was my go to style. 😄

[@natashawilliams4405]

Hello hun. Love your puff. Where did you get that string from? Those bands give me a headache as well!

[@Amorantasia1]

Girl I’m here trying to figure out how to do a curly puff on long hair now that mine has grown 😩

[@michellewilliams5533]

never did a high puff before but watched your video and got inspired and just did it! Looks good! Perfect style for this length

[@afrobelleunlimited]

Oh snap Jess multiple uploads in a week!!!!! I’m al here for it!! Love this video

[@OnlyOneJess]

Just_1 Nicole I’m trying I’m trying loll

[@janinemack628]

That puff was great and your hair looks good with the color gone. Keep doing what you’re doing. 💁🏽‍♀️

[@bellgray9129]

Short is perfect I don't see anything wrong with it. Mine is short. not all of us was lucky in that department

[@ElegantPaws01]

Your natural hair colour is lovely.

[@meganadderley6215]

Jess you are rocking this puff man. It is super cute on you ☺️

[@juspebbles1106]

[@naiscarlett4806]

ok but I’m in looooove with your lashes

[@msfiesty88]

Love it 😍 and those edges be layed and slayed hunny!!

[@21asdfghjkl]

You shouldn’t need to explain why you call it short! It’s short-especially for someone that had some poppin length for a few years. I support you sis! It’ll grow back, have fun with learning your hair again. 😍

[@laurenciakaytembo1601]

Love the video! Call your hair what YOU want it’s your hair girl that’s all that matters😎 very informative 😊

[@teresacrum5516]

Yesss with the Natural hair content🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 LOVE THAT FOR US👩🏿‍🦱

I don’t have damaged hair but Jess’s videos makes me want to cut it 😫😍

[@joyous1011]

Beautiful Jess!👌🏽❤❤❤❤ Yes girl them handbands get me with a banger headache every time! Thanks for the tip😘😘😘😘

[@Tanile27]

Hey jess heeeey, I actually like the little random burgundy tips, it's not too heavy, it's real subtle OH AND an awkward phase is only awkward when people dont know wth to do with it lol, it's not awkward to everyone especially u

[@spl.1524]

Girl, your hair is fabulous. Love, love, love it. I need to wear more high puffs.

[@angelabrookins4743]

Now. Now. That's. So. Cute. Jess

[@rikah3562]

Soo cute!!! I agree!! Those bands would give me headaches too..I resorted to using old shoestrings, works perfectly👍🏽

[@lilady04]

You should try the puff clip.....super cute puff!!

[@LolitaStClair]

Hi Jess nice puff. Am not good at all with puffs at all . I enjoyed your video and please keep up the good work and please have a blessed day.

[@SilentPlantGirl]

Your hair! 😍. I just love it! I'm on this hair journey with you Jess!

[@Listen2me400]

Your hair is short to you. Say what you want sis. I loved my puff when my hair was shorter, it now flops in the front. To all the product junkies, where you at????? We good right now in these quarantine streets!!!!!

[@micahowens5335]

D S, watch naptural85’s video on how to make a puff that doesn’t flop on longe natural hair! It’s very insightful and helpful

[@shayjohnson1114]

I look at you and I see Liam lol. Cute puff!!!

[@kimmielee1525]

I big chopped a day before or after you. You have become my guide on this new journey....I've had a relaxer since i was 4 so I've technically never known what my curl pattern was or that my hair even curled for that matter. So excited to do this with you! Our hair is very similar in texture, I think😂😂❤

[@stephanieshaffer4131]

Girl you chopped 💇‍♀️ chop 💇‍♀️ chop... its short! But so cute.👌🏾

[@janelle6380]

When I tell you I FELT this whole video I FELT your trouble and success

Looks great, Jess!

[@moonlightmoon6604]

You are such a doll face! 💜

[@shekirashekira]

So cute!! If you see this Jess, I did a messy updo hairstyles video and I think you should try them out. I 100% think you could do those too and it would be awesome to see someone else do the hairstyles with shorter hair. If anyone else read this, do the hairstyles and show me!! Lol, I really want to see if other hairtypes can do these hairstyles.

[@rashardconley6866]

Jess your high puff is cute and you stay looking beautiful more and more with each video

[@shaniquebrown8740]

Your hair is really healthy looking and growing fast 💯💯beautiful

[@LinzeyLiNO]

[@isauratholen5346]

Ooohhh i like your curls 😍😍 they popping

[@lesheawhite1870]

Maybe I can try this. I love your curls. 🤗😊

[@tiafromvenus980]

This is cuteee😍😍 I saw your flat twist video a nmd if you want a "longer" bang area, you twist it sideways not to the front. I found this out

[@Denise_Cocoa]

Okay Al Sharpton!!! 😂 (I can never unsee that lol) 💛 Length is perspective... your hair was like 14”+ inches before, it’s okay to call it short now!! It’s still thick and luscious ✨ Andddd I lowkey had a dream you and Kimberly Cherrell did a “Meet & Greet” in NYC after the Rona left 🤔👀🥰

[@Kiaaaaaaaaara]

Jess you better okay sis 😍😍😍😍
