PROTECTIVE STYING MY NATURAL HAIR With BEADS ‼️ | DOING MINI BRAIDS

[@hiddenbeauty12]

You are encouraging me to put my mini braids back in my hair sis! I'm bogged down with my master's (getting towards the end) and I ain't got the TIME to be doing my hair all the time! 🤣🤣🤣 beautiful job and love the beads!

[@NaturalAcademia]

I feel you 😭 it’s hard finding the time to do my hair nowadays myself. Butttt I believe in you! You can do it!!

@@NaturalAcademia also as a university student, you might be able to get insurance through your university since some offer health insurance for students while they are enrolled. You do have to check and see if it is offered. You also probably can qualify for affordable health insurance through the govt as a student as well

[@weirdmyst7963]

How do you get your parts right for those? Mine always come out stiff and the roots make it look undone

[@hiddenbeauty12]

@@weirdmyst7963 I have to use multiple mirrors to get the parts right. It can take quite a while lol

“When I get insurance…probably shouldn’t be sayin that on the internet” 😭 girl it be like that, I’m waiting for my insurance to come thru for a therapy session too 🤣🤣

[@CarolCarol31]

I do the same and I don't think of it as a punishment . Once I decide to take a break to eat before I've completed what I was doing then my performance will be greatly affected. I become lazy after eating and usually go into slow mode so I prefer not to eat until am done. It motivates me to work faster so I can eat.

[@BLsavedMe]

You did a good job. I love the hair It came out good I might just do something similar next month 🙂

[@NaturalAcademia]

Thank you!!! 💜💜

[@naturallyamazing2197]

i'm retaining the length protective styling; been doing it since Nov. of last year 2021....but im waiting to see the growth!! its me trying to figure out how much hair i grow per year sis. so actually i'm taking pics and keeping track that way. thanks for these vids. they are helpful and encouraging on this journey

[@NaturalAcademia]

Period!! I love that for youuuuu 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@naturallyamazing2197]

sis yes! after many set backs, i see that not protective styling and keeping a right moisture balance kept me at shoulder length for years....ty again@@NaturalAcademia

[@winninginlife]

I love it, they are perfect 👏👏👏 I like the look of "real" hair braided with or without braids than hair extensions put in. You really are the hair whisperer, whatever you're doing don't change because your hair is thriving 🌹❤️

[@1GoldenBreeze]

The braids came out looking cute. The beads are definitely giving a spring vibe. But, girl you have a lot of patience! Long before my hair reached waist length all braiding and twisting stopped. It is just too time-consuming. The most I'll do is two braids and pin them up. Other than that I wear a WnG.

[@Listening4n0w]

I love the noise the beads make it takes me back to some amazing childhood memories.

[@beverlyjames1332]

I've been rocking the beads for 2 months now, I love them. I like the long wooden ones. Keep up the good work! One love.

Me too 😊

Thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@ewesiijeawele9268]

@@NaturalAcademia doesn't the grease and cream make it difficult to grip your hair when braiding? Cos a lot of the hair stylist that I go to complain that they can't grip my hair because of the products that i have in it😩

Your hair looks cute with the beads. Keep being you😍 I love the TGIN and Palmer's olive oil regiment, my hair is now past bra strap, been using it for a Year, great video👍 Be Blessed 🙏💖🌹

[@maryjacob8873]

17:42 NOT CHILDISH AT ALL, I love it 100 percent!!

[@GrannyKelly07]

Plz anyone who thinks beads are childish are childish themselves they are fun and make the hairstyle look 10x better besides the lil clicking and clacking😑that's annoying

[@NaturalAcademia]

I agree 10000%

That’s wonderful to hear! Simplicity is best 😊

[@Stephanie123-v3w]

the beads elevated this i really love the style

[@Aniexo_]

I don’t eat until I’m done with I’m doing either, I don’t think it’s that bad lol I can’t go out and have fun unless I clean my room first or handle my responsibilities. I think the idea is having to go back to working after I’m doing relaxing. I work first and then play second

[@justanniee3788]

What made you switch the way you apply your products ? Usually you put the TGIN Daily Moisturizer then seal it in with the Palmers Olive Oil Grow Therapy & your hair stays moisturized for weeks..IDK I just think with you having high porosity hair + the recent protein overload your hair would need the extra moisture.

[@sarahdanforth703]

She's using a thick moisturizer so as time goes on it's going to get into her hair. Like the LOC method. She also said this way her hair doesn't shrink up and makes it easier to braid

[@justanniee3788]

@@sarahdanforth703 correct me if I’m wrong but Grease is a sealant so putting a sealant first then a moisturizer on top isn’t really moisturizing anything because the grease blocks moisture from getting in right ?...but I also understand her not wanting her hair to strink up 😏

[@sarahdanforth703]

@@justanniee3788 it is a sealant but it also runs rubs off or melts into the hair eventually. That's why the thicker moisturizer is used cause it lasts a bit longer on the hair. The method is basically like mixing your oils and conditioners so they get in at the same time

[@maryjacob8873]

Gonna watch your video when I am by my laptop, I’ll be back Steranda 😊

[@iaaeottg21]

Since you apply the grease before the moisturizer, how does the moisture penetrate your hair? Is it working for you?

[@sarahdanforth703]

As time goes on the grease does wear off and the moisturizer slowly gets into the hair. That's why it's key to use a thick moisturizer

[@tamarat.8810]

The braids themselves were very neat but you could have added a little product to the roots for a more neat sleek looking roots because it gives a lot of they been in for awhile.

[@yurcutieeeee]

Finally found someone with the same hair texture and length as me ❤️

[@simplyjuannie5128]

We call those steel wool. Usually when my hair feels like that, I get a conditioning spray or detangler (Mane and Tale) to loosen up the hair.

I used to do this all the time but now that my hair is longer I don't have the time anymore lol, took me 6 whole hours.... crazy

[@mingtoiisaac4623]

Your parts and braids look good, sis! I like beads too, but they are annoying to me and hurt to lay on

[@patricegoldin7572]

Do you twirl the ends of your hair when braiding? If so, Do you see little pieces come off the ends while doing that? What do you suggest to stop that from happening?

[@justlooking6810]

Don't know how you strained the Aloe Vera but if you used a sieve, try a cheese cloth instead

[@0kitten00]

You did a great job. Pretty 🌸

[@lailaabashir6316]

Could you please do a tutorial on how to braid, flat twist or Cornrow All the ones I have watched seem to be confusing, or I just can’t figure it out :( Just cut my locs about 7 months ago bc they were falling out and starting my natural hair journey.
