Your hair grow in 5-7 business days I swear 😩

[@jamillac3191]

😂true story

[@empressmonica]

This the one!!!

[@cat7434]

I'm saying the same thing.

[@1015katie]

Lol true

[@yattaboolove011]

Facts!🤣😂....I thought it was just me!🤣😂

[@succubuslmao2050]

Ive followed you for sooo long and your hair literally blows me away every single time 😮 your such beautiful woman babez!

[@kelliew.4285]

Jaelah I learned a tip from a cosmetologist. She said its actually easier to slick the hair down wet instead of drying it first. If you notice, the hair flattens when wet but gets puffy when dry. So using a leave in and mousse to mold the hair while its wet will be a lot easier (since you're basically rewetting it with the gel).

[@vegannn7178]

I’ve found my hair is easier to lay when dry, if I lay it wet it drys frizzy

[@Anastasia-ro3oi]

It kinda depends on your hair cause that can cause breakage for some people

[@presshasoreal9604]

If it works for her then it works for her

[@zizio.1776]

I think damp hair is best. Not too wet, not to dry. To avoid frizz and puffiness

[@sashalue]

girl ain’t nothing easier if my hair ain’t detangled.

[@elizabethgreer885]

When she said that GOOD brush, the one that’s so dense, good handle, no brand on it, and you can’t take it out of the house because if you lose it, you’re done for, I FELT THAT TO MY INNER CORE!! I almost lost mine years ago, praise God, I’ve had her since I was child. It’s an heirloom 😂

[@tracyhickman8963]

I have had my "good" brush for 40+ years. I want to be buried with it.

[@peacebalance8067]

That good brush is my "hard bristle" brush. The one where I brush back thick wet hair where the wood is split and a few bristles missing.

[@RaeDee1111]

Girl you had me CRACKING UP through this dang tutorial. From the "good brush" to the helmet 😂. From one thick hair sis to another: 🗣️you did that!

[@TheGeorgie94]

Can we just appreciate the words used to describe the process... the Jae-lingo is always top tier!!!

[@jeonkayla2379]

Your original video for a slick ponytail from years ago is how I learned to do one when I first went natural. That’s how I found your channel 😭 so I love this

[@tearaandthequad2311]

Your hair is truly a gift. I done seen it been cut off about three times and grow back thick and curly every single time sis know what she doing and don’t even be trying

[@marcelaflorian6417]

When i say i looked like i came from a beach day, i mean it. I was DRENCHED. this was really helpful because not once in my life i have ever been able to put all of my hair in one bun. I skipped the detangling part and it was pretty hair without it but i think i still slayed. tysm

[@BabiDrama]

[@bricbrac28]

Man her hair back like it neva left! Like she just jus bal headed yesterday!!!!!!!
