my favorite Week in in MyHair video was the first one. Maybe it was because I was hungry, but the avocado toast and the salad looked so good!!😋 It was the first of many that I kept rewatching from you.

[@caraabbott4725]

My favorite video is the "4 months of plaits" because it was the first video of yours that I ever watched. Down the rabbit hole I went and now I actually have mini braids. But I made them too small 😅

[@sassys1240]

Another great video! 👏🏽So, I thought about it and I can't choose a favorite. But, I have to say that the reason I became a "Banker" (Sharatia Banks Subbie aka SBS) is because of week 1. It all started with your Part 1,2, and 3 shorts about the plaits. I've always been looking for and suggesting that a KZbinr do a week in their hair and finally you did it 🎉🎉🎉😊. Since then I've loved all the weeks, and was truly happy with the month in your hair. If I have to pick a favorite I'd say that one because you gave us so much more and by then you were incorporating many of the things that you've learned during this challenge👍🏽. I was and still am glad to have found your channel. You gave me hope that I can grow some inches. I'll be doing the same, plaits and or twists for 2025. I hope to have a journey as successful as yours.

[@hausofeczema]

My favorite “Week in My Hair” video was the 3rd one you made 7 months ago that is how I got introduced to you and have been watching since. Been learning new things from you since that video like liquid vitamins and massaging the scalp. Just a lot of inspiration because that is my goal for my hair as well. Plus I love looking at your plaits because I’ve been trying to find a protective style that I like and could have better access to my scalp and wash it too. I look forward to more “Week in My Hair” videos and more updates on the vitamins for hair!❤

[@NarcissisticAtreya]

My favorite Week in My Hair video has to be A WEEK IN MY HAIR: Thinning hair 😳, big chop, braids takedown, Redo braids, trim... (Vlogmas Day 7). It was so inspiring to see you embrace every part of your hair journey-the highs and the challenges. Your openness about thinning hair and how you tackled it with such care and determination really resonated with me. It reminded me that hair care is as much about growth and patience as it is about self-love. Watching you take down braids, trim, and redo styles showed the dedication you put into nurturing your crown. It also hit home for me because I share these same bonding moments with my daughter, just like I did with my late mother.🩷 You truly inspire me to embrace the process and appreciate the beauty in every stage. Thank you for being so authentic and motivating us all! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@stephanier8458]

My favorite week is the protective style,how you prep.I honestly didn't like braid's because I then strands. You gave me to rock them. I even start to be consistent with my was routine. Thank you help women like feel comfortable an confident.

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@stephanier8458 yes consistency and confidence 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@rudy5688]

My favorite video js A month in my hair -how I keep my braids fresh, length check. I loved that video because you showed the versatility of protective styling and the importance of consistency ❤

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@rudy5688 we love versatility 🙌🏾💃🏾 thanks you!

[@adrianna3077]

my favorite one is #5 because it helped me realize that i’m missing out on hair growth due to vitamin deficiencies and diet🥲instead of my actual regimen. Got blood work done and it was iron and vitamin d and b that i was missing out on. I’ve cut my split ends and now with a better diet (and scalp massages☺️) it’s flourishing!

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@adrianna3077 yesss! good for you getting bloodwork done and taking the necessary steps to achieve your hair goals ❤️💃🏾

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

My favorite video is this one. We are a community and you gave sincere thanks to your viewers . You put their suggestion into action and thanked them.

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@RAJOHN-ke7mc I listen. I learn. I thank! 😊

[@whatdreamsaremadeof3029]

My favorite week in my hair video is the Retain Every Inch of Growth! Protective style myths, Alma, Length check, scalp oiling (2). It was the first time your video was recommended and I started my mini braid journey because of it.

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@whatdreamsaremadeof3029 oh yeaaaaa that dry ahh Amla lol glad you started your journey!

[@theemoelmodelmo]

My favorite videos are the ones you wash your hair. It’s so satisfying to watch. I love your wash days.

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@theemoelmodelmo we love a clean scalp!

[@amandalewis1247]

My favourite week in my hair video was number 2- retain every inch of growth. Its my favourite because you not only answered the question "is washing braids damaging?" Which i have been wandering for a while since incorporating mini braids to reach my goals and having fine hair had me very skeptical as i didnt want any knots. But you gave the advantages and that eased me alittle to give it a try. You also highlighted how ensuring proper nutrition can assist in reaching our goals and i have seen the benefits since eating better for a period of time and taking my vitamins. You showed your routine with washing, deep conditioning and oiling and gave length retention tips all of which i hope to continue doing to get my hair to waist length. And ofcourse a bonus with length check where we see your routine is working for you. I could relate alot with this video as i would do my hair in mini braids and before i do so i would ensure i give my hair alittle tlc and with my oil mix i would oil the hair every week. With take down i would see the difference in length, health and thickness which is motivating. I had plans of trying conrows for all of 2025 as my protective style but after losing hair along my middle part from widows peak to the middle of my head in a vehicle accident i have to start over to get it back to its length and catch up with the rest of my hair hopefully by the end of 2025 and your video has shown me that it is possible with mini braids.

[@callmechichi1711]

My favorite “week in my hair” video would have to be vlogmas day 7 video. I love the breakdown of your routine as well as your dedication. You’ve been doing that all year though. Also i’m on a length retention journey (my goal length is tailbone or hip length). I get so excited watching your videos because it holds me accountable on being consistent with my routine as well as enjoying the journey. Sometimes when I have a setback with my hair, I can be discouraged but watching your videos motivate me. I have no doubt that I’ll reach my goal length. As always, tfs girly. You’ve retained so much length so far & I can’t wait to see your end results before the year is over. I’m proud of you.

[@AIgeneratedHuman]

Hi Sharatia 👋 my favourite week in my hair video was the one you uploaded 3 months ago. I liked it because you were upfront about your struggles with your hair at the time plus I liked when you blew out your hair and just had it out like a lion's mane

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@AIgeneratedHuman 🦁 I’m looking forward to do that again. I love it when my hair is loose. And thank you for supporting me through my struggles lol

[@iambelinda]

I really can't tell which is my fav....all of the week in my hair was informative and worth the time 😊❤...plus you started the week in my hair when i also started the mini braid hair growth challenge. In a nutshell. I love you 😊

[@Esraa_tarig]

My favourite video is a week in my hair (1) tailbone leanth you show us very careful wash day in long term protective style I love it cuz it so easy and works especially for lazy people 😂❤

[@DefinitelyKitty]

My favorite is the one when you were singing the Matcha Matcha man song 😂. That’s how I knew I was home, in the right community. And that Wake up rock song lol. I’m like here she go proving I’m in the right place again lol.

@@DefinitelyKitty ayeeee whatchu know bout that Chop Suey! lol

@@SharatiaBanks LOL. I was 9 when that song came out and me and my lil brother use to sing it just like you was sanging it in this video. Good times.

[@rhondadavis5896]

My favorite is week. It's my favorite for multiple reasons. Like the fact that the video gave me everything in one which was very inspirational. I actually started using oils for my take down instead of conditioner. However, my favorite part was an eye opener for me. I didn't realized that I put my droper and nozzle directly on my scalp. That's why it's my favorite.

[@rhondadavis5896]

I didn't put week 3

[@SharatiaBanks]

HEY YALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL wdf is really good today?!

[@Tinika_C]

I would choose Vlogmas day 7 where you speak on big chop and thinning. I can totally relate as I’m struggling with the same issues although we got to that end point different ways. I recently combed out 12 year old locs. Don’t worry I cut it to shoulder length first. It was a lot of work. I have some thinning in your same areas that I’m wiring in now and I’m also dealing with some thinning on the ends in the front area as I really struggled taking out the front. So I sort of did a big chop already which corrected the back but I have to gradually correct the front as it grows in. It’s nice to see that you’re having growth in your thing areas.

Hi Sharatia! I’ve been watching your week in my hair videos since the very first one. Out of all of them, my favorite is the week two video because that convinced me to try the Mary Ruth vitamins (my college student wallet was crying but we’re on a journey 😭😂). I like that you showed how to use Ayurveda too (henna fan here.) I’m two months in and I’ll be starting my next bottle on my bday! 🥳🎉🎊 Appreciate your videos and your personality.
