Straightening Ziya's Hair for the FIRST Time! (Curly to Straight Hair Routine 2022)

Finally! A curly to straight hair routine! I'm flat ironing Ziya's super curly hair for the very first time. It's amazing how much her hair has grown in the last 5 years. She's a big girl now and she wants to try different styles.

‘Virtual’ auntie’s baby is just growing 😭😂 I can’t believe this. I remember when she was born. So beautiful watching the evolution. Been watching for nearly a decade which is wild.

Crazy how much her hair has grown. She’s a couple months younger than my daughter. Days are long but the years are short ❤️

[@shonda_broxton3724]

Beautiful results! Thanks for allowing us to watch your hair journey Ziya.

[@Softanddramatic]

Raven !! I did not expect to cry, she is so beautiful and her face lit up when she saw it. Reminded me of when my daughter got her hair braided for the first time. My daughter is 9 mo younger than Ziya and definitely looks up to her. She calls these Ziya videos 😊

[@AmberB]

I just can’t believe she’s such a big girl now 😍 and her hair is so beautiful!! Makes me so excited to have a daughter one day 💕

I just can’t believe we’ve really watched Ziya grow up 🥺🤍 about to go binge all of her hair videos now lol she is just so adorable. seriously!!

[@Forrellytho]

Aww I just straightened and curled my 5 yr olds hair for thanksgiving. Her hair texture is the same as Ziya. It was work doing her hair because it’s really curly and tangles so easy. Ziya looks like a big girl so cute!

[@foodi.esti.nauti.]

I love this! My little sister got hers straightened for her birthday and her reaction was so adorable. It went viral ok TikTok. There’s nothing like seeing the versatility of our hair!

[@loganmackenzie4547]

Not me getting emotional😭😍 She is such a Big girl now. Well done Raven!! Such an amazing mom! She is such a little lady 💗

Aww! What a coincidence 😊! I blow dried my 5 year olds hair for the first time, but that was to start her locs. She loves them❤️! Ziya looks so cute 🥰! Great job Raven👍🏿! Thanks for sharing!

[@laurendurden5018]

The fact that I got emotional towards the end of the video😭😂 I started watching Raven when she was pregnant with Ziya so to see how much she’s grown is shocking, yet amazing. Raven is such a good mother & a hardworking momma at that!! It just warms my heart so much, almost like watching your friends & family grow💛✨

[@KOFTHEWEST2314]

@11:26 I love how Ziya is so patient while you create this video as well as how she interacts 🤎 my daughters the same age so I know how impatient a child can become this is beautiful!

I wish you could do my hair for me my mum doesn't really hard well not too hard it just hurts for me because of my scope is sensitive

[@chayreshae2027]

How cute… I have a daughter just a few months older than Ziya, and I just straightened her hair for the first time too! They have similar hair patterns but my daughter has super thick hair. I need to get that round brush dryer, made the process look do much easier

[@marialord8089]

I have literally watched Ziya grow on your channel Raven and she ought to be the most beautiful, intelligent, soft spoken and very well mannered kid. Your hair is beautiful Ziya. And you look so much more like your mommy now. I can't wait to see your birthday party for this year ! I feel like it's gonna be GREAT & FUN !

[@butterfly48free20]

I remember I started watching you when Ziya was probably a few months old. Unbelievable how much she has grown. Thanks for sharing her with her virtual family!

[@lorettaholmes5580]

Ziya is so well mannered and adorable with those big brown eyes, her hair is gorgeous. Love it! 🥰🥰😍😍

You did a great job on Ziya's hair. Its beautiful straight and with waves at the end! She looks like a big girl!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awww Ziya just smiling away when you finished blow drying it lol so adorable 🥰

[@katb.2584]

Its crazy to see how much she's grown over the years! My 3yr old watched this with me and almost, ALMOST, agreed to me doing her hair but was so worried that Ziya was in pain (she hates getting her hair done is always concerned that someone else is being hurt)!

[@coolcloud3318]

Ziya I think you look beautiful!! It was always an exciting time when my mom straightened my hair, especially in the beginning. When she said, “It feels like I have less hair.” Girl I felt that. Having it straightened definitely makes it more controllable. I hope you enjoy your new hair Ziya! ❤️

[@carollove8752]

Just always proud of Ziya playing her role in the family business! 👏🏼

[@margokellywilliams7278]

I don't know why this video made me so emotional her hair is so beautiful and so is she I have literally watched her grow up before my eyes on your Channel thank you for sharing that with us .

[@preddiegirlswagg10]

Aww beautiful Ziya! It’s so amazing to see her growing up, I remember when you first had her 🥺

Awww ziya is so cute and just seems like such a behaved child 💛

[@tessbennett3796]

I am obsessed, in a good way. I adopted by granddaughter. She's 4 and in preschool with the tightest curly hair I've ever seen. Your channel has been a huge educational tool for me. Thank you, and Ziya is the CUTEST!

[@Super2012star]

This was perfect for her age! You did amazing job, she is so adorable 🥰.

[@mya1256]

I’ve always wondered what her hair would look like straight but I would never want her to do it unless she was comfortable so I’m glad to see her loving it 🥺🥺 I just flat ironed/silk pressed my 3c hair the other day (it’s at my waist now yayy) Bc I was tired of dealing with it and needed a break ☠️ I use the revlon brush and it’s amazing to me, it’s easy to use, takes less time than a regular blow dryer and is more affordable than the dyson

[@ramonqa7170]

raven does such a good job with taking care of ziya’s hairrr omg

[@PaigeKyera]

Her hair has grown sooo much ! It looks so healthy. I’ve been wanting to, but I’m so scared to straighten my 6 year olds hair. Thanks for the tips!🖤🖤🖤

[@Gigi-rj3dj]

Curly or straight, Ziya is so beautiful and poised. She is growing into such a lovely young lady, like her mommy. 💖 I remember getting my hair straightened as a kid, usually on Saturdays. We didn’t have such fancy tools back then.

[@61kimmarie]

Our yt niece looks like a big girl. She is absolutely adorable. 💕🌻 Ziya's 👑🙍🏽‍♀️ crown and glory is beautiful. 🥰

[@mariahwhatley8153]

I always wanted to see Ziya's hair straight for awhile. And I really like how it turned out. I really love how long her hair is!😍

[@jesslivinlife]

My anticipation to see Ziya see herself in the mirror. 💕 the poses… love it. She reminds me so much of my baby girl she’s 4 & I can’t wait until it’s her turn to experience the right of passage to get her hair done for the first time.

Ziya is so gorgeous! You did such a good job and the way she is loving it!!

[@CC-Queen]

I remember my daughter getting her first flat iron at 5, it was the best way for me to clip her ends. Ziya is getting so big, just wait, soon she’s gonna start growing hair on her little legs lol. I think I got emotional at every little milestone my daughter has had

[@Kennedy_Maxine]

Had to like the video before even finishing the video, Ziya is such a big girl now 🥺😍

Love these hair routines !!❤❤ her hair is so long and pretty 😍 you do such a great job hun

[@finallyanaccount]

She’s such a sweet little baby girl. Her Dad is completely missing out. You’re doing a great job Rae.

[@ArienneJay]

Lol what makes you think she don't see her dad? Not everything needs to be shown on camera

[@finallyanaccount]

@@ArienneJay I said that based on things Raven has said in the past. I believe on the channel linked to her podcast.

[@kandi6197]

It's such a shame he's not in her life Ziya looks so much like her dad, I could never understand why some men just walk away from their own children, I wonder if he watches this channel 🤔

[@jackiehazel1250]

Wow! time flies, I remember when Ziya was born and she's really getting soo tall Raven, and reminds me soo much of my daughter at that age who is now 25 and the shrinkage is soo real, literally waistline length and same texture as my daughter whos also natural and Ziyas response to seeing her hair straight for the first time was soo adorable, such a cutie, beautiful!🥰🥰

[@vaskylark]

Both Mom and daughter look so striking. First time finding this channel. I'm a curly girl but I'm white and I destroyed my hair using flat irons for years and years. I've decided to embrace my curls/waves, which led me down a rabbit hole of taking care of dry, curly/wavy hair and to this video. As a Mom of six I saw how cute your little girl was and had to watch entire video LOL I kept thinking what happens when Ziya asks you to do her hair again, and again? That happened with me and my girls and then all my nieces when I learned how to french braid hair. Then all their friends started asking me and I had a line on the porch all because I decided to do my little girl's hair when she was about Ziya's age. Good memories though :)

[@pattikendall3848]

[@jasminblasse1471]

Sometimes Ziya looks just like Maya it’s crazy! I love how you showed her how much hair you cut off lol. I know I was always reluctant to cut my hair too when I was younger. I wanted everyone to see how long my hair was lol
