Just want to comment because I'm a white man about to marry a black 4c girl whos given up on her hair and always hated it. I asked her if I could do research and we could walk this out together with more love and compassion and she said yes. You bring up so many important points that really help me better grasp how difficult this can be for 4c women. At the end of the day my goal is that I hear my future wife and best friend say she loves her hair, and I think part of that journey is loving yourself truly internally.

Facts

[@shashimittal901]

Using hair loss control and hair growth serum by liittleextra reactivaate from past 60 days, and I have seen a positive difference in this time period. - I can see new baby hairs growing on my scalp. - Hair fall has been minimised. - My hair became more shiny and smooth. - It has rosemary extract and fenugreek in it, which are helpful for hair. - It is non-greasy on hair. 5/5 from my side.

[@morayoadedapo2457]

YESYESYES realizing no amount of twist outs, products, oil, and whatever other concoctions the natural hair community is obsessed with, is going to magically give you 3c hair that's long and shiny was the biggest hurdle to get over for me. Once I started being realistic and looking for people with hair like mine, i learned how to take care of MY hair. And it grew(not a lot but, still), got thicker, less breakage, the whole nine.

[@morayoadedapo2457]

@Trinity M absolutely! I was obsessing over textures that weren't mine thinking I could make a miracle. My hair is healthier than ever now that I'm doing what's best for me.

[@blu_rey8656]

@@lillybelle544 You know what she’s getting at. The obsession is ridiculous for 4c individuals. Our hair is a drier texture but still beautiful when we are not trying to conform to European standards.

[@thurst3224]

Morayo...White woman with 2c hair here, also wishing for 3b/3c curls....I think it's so ironic that whether it's skin color or hair curls, the grass is always greener on the other side! Seems we all want to be middle of the road yet be unique at the same time (white girls tan, perm their hair, and try to get bigger lips & booties....black girls try to go the opposite...both just want to meet in the middle). Now that I'm older, I'm better at appreciating what God gave me. He made you beautiful just the way you are...

[@sharonmiller7213]

Same. Every word.

[@JenzJoe]

I’m on a perm to natural journey and never understood the word “journey” until 10 weeks in. And I discovered I have the top kinkiest hair and I don’t know how to feel abt it. Coming to the realization that it will never be anything but 4c made me more determined to love it the way it is, even when it does look conforming. I don’t want to hate myself or my ancestors becuz social media peddles euro centric acceptance. Natural 4c hair is so beautiful when it’s healthy.

Do you know how many times a week I should oil my hair?

[@TiredofAds]

Your not alone, I feel like a lot of us 4c gurls go through these phases. I just recently cut off all my unhealthy ends. I’m back to where I was 5yrs ago length wise but I needed to get over my obsession with long hair and just prioritize having healthy hair.

[@jasminepayne1895]

Samee

[@afromystik4365]

I can relate! I have in Nubian twists now, but I recently did cut off a lot of my ends, my hair has just been DRY AS HELL🤦🏾‍♀️. I can also say I have not been deep conditioning my hair enough so maybe that's why it's been so dry?what do you think? Is a deep conditioner necessary? I will just use some tressemme conditioner and that's it, maybe it's not enough. My hair is several textures of type 4. yes, I drink 💦, 😅. my hair shrinks ALOT over 75%. Not sure what to do with it now🤷🏾‍♀️. I don't want to leave these twists in for too long because it's been like almost 3 weeks and it feels dry😄.

[@sihintsegay6918]

@AfroMystik if I can add my two cents, deep conditioning regularly can make a world of difference! I honestly don’t expect much from regular conditioner and feel like my deep conditioner is my real conditioning step. I deep condition every time I wash my hair and it works for me! TGIN has some good ones and I usually leave it on overnight or put a cap on and sit under a dryer for like 30 minutes if possible. Depending on your hair you may not need to deep condition every wash, but maybe feel it out. Also dryness in your twists might be helped by spritzing a little mixture of conditioner and water ( mostly water and a dollop of conditioner) on your twists and a little oil to seal that in. Make sure your twists dry fully tho afterwards

[@prettyinpinky5937]

That’s where I’m at too now

[@afromystik4365]

@@sihintsegay6918 Thank you so much!!🤎🤎🤎 I took down my kinky twists yesterday and my hair had some buildup at the base, but I was able to brush it out. Like you said deep conditioning must be done. I think my hair has been missing it. Because the regular conditioner is not cutting it! My hair drys very quickly, and soaks up product fast since having a second baby 6 and 2, I don't have time!!! I rush through it . But now I'm going to just dedicate an hr and take my time to deep condition. Btw do you think I should continue to add twist extensions not sure if that could be drying my hair out more also🤔

[@quasar4472]

Your hair has grown a lot!and I'm glad to witness your hair journey! I see your channel as a diary, and to look back and reflect on yourself (along with therapy) really does open up solutions on how to better yourself. I'm glad you mentioned the length checks -- NOT GONNA LIE, it's one of those strange, strange things in the natural hair community that resulted in length check shirts being sold. ionno man 😅🤣 not seeing it much any more these days!

[@scarletsletter4466]

Women who are stressed often project it on some part of our bodies that we are frustrated with. I've noticed it's more common for black girls to stress about hair whereas other girls tend to stress about weight. I think your hair is pretty & I don't really understand the fixation on length that a lot of my black friends have. But they don't understand me working out an hour a day to stay 115lbs either. We should all try to be good to ourselves 💞

[@Tahiha]

i remember being so frustrated with thin brittle 4c hair and finding your channel when you were just as frustrated. Your hair growth since then is unbelievable, just amazing. Im still struggling but have seen some improvement and growth. I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that as a 40s woman, possibly premenopausal, my hair will grow, but slowly, so i will continue to take care of it and just accept it as it is. if it flourishes, great, if not...well, what to do. Pointless stressing about it. One thing i will say is that youth definitely plays a role. Your hair hair has the opportunity to thrive before you hit that stage where hormonal and other issues causes the hair to not flourish as much

[@TheStarPuppy]

I've found the best thing I've ever done for my hair is love it. No matter what shenanigans are happening, what style didn't happen, what role weather has played that day: just love it. Thank you for your story, it makes me feel seen. I KNOW your hair is gorgeous, thank you!

[@jayzeem14]

Don’t give up! I am pure African living in Africa. Am 70 I chopped my hair off 3 years ago after decades of relaxers weaves, bonding where my hair went thin lost my edges etc. went natural on short hair started growing it with all these recipes it’s growing very little shedding and it’s thick and fuller. Still grappling with edges but they are also showing promise. Watch your diet use supplements as well. Zinc,Iron, D3.Omegas and Vit E and C and A as well. Cheers

Thanks for affirming this for me; I went through a phase where I was researching the power of hair A LOT and came to the realisation that even telling ourselves that our hair is “hard to handle” or takes “a long time to do” is a negative way of loving our hair & in return we neglect it by not seeing our hair in a positive light. Since I stopped proclaiming such beliefs, my hair started growing a lot esp. as I started wearing it out more and taking better care of it!

I suffer from depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Now, at the age of 43 , I had gone back to natural over 10 years ago. And just when I think I've accepted myself and my hair, I still find that at times I envy softer, curlier textures. I just wish my hair and would grow down my back!

This has been an incredibly helpful video because it puts things in perspective. There isn't a magic tincture that'll fix it, there's a whole host of things that can affect hair growth, and many of them like stress management is something I've ignored. Thank you for highlighting being realistic and overall self care.

[@tris5602]

Positive self-talk is such a game changer. There was a time where I told someone something like "When I'm home by myself it's like being left alone with someone who really doesn't like me." It was BAD. Then, I made a rule: I'm not allowed to say anything to myself or talk to me in any way that I wouldn't use when speaking to someone else. I would NEVER EVER call another person lazy or stupid, but I did it to myself constantly. It took a while for my inner voice to recalibrate- it didn't have anything nice to say, so it wasn't allowed to say anything at all - but that silence created a space for new conversations. After the compulsive self-dragging stopped, I started asking myself what I would say to my spouse if they were struggling and being as harsh with themselves as I was. It was like a light flicked on. The idea of my husband beating himself up about things he could help really hurt me, and this ridiculous exercise helped me empathize with myself for the first time. After that, my internal voice became this super annoyingly supportive cheerleader coaching me through my difficulties. They know the difference between "I can't because I don't feel good, and I need a break," and "I can't because I really don't want to," and they gently talk me through both situations. I'm reminded that I need breaks and that it's better for everyone if I take them, or I get kicked into gear with comments like, "I know you're really tired, but I know you can keep running for another minute. You've already run for five minutes, so one minute is nothing: you can do this!" I know it's just my internal dialogue, and not another person, but it's so different that it feels like a different person - and I'm a completely different person because of it. It felt so silly in the beginning, but it literally changed everything. I'm happier than I ever believed I could be.

[@stelladusabe]

[@naomiolutayo]

Once I started healing spiritually and mentally, and removed stress from my life, my hair grew so much. This year my hair grew 5 inches which it's never done before. The most my hair grew in a year my whole life was under 3 inches. I'm doing similar tactics I did back then, but now my hair is actually thriving! I even prayed over my hair and i know that helped too. Overall I'm just a more healthy person.

[@drinabooboo]

I feel like our hair is a reflection of who the Most High made us to be; strong, yet difficult at times. We can style our hair in many different ways and it is truly an enhancement and a blessing. Everything is about perspective.

this gives me so much hope. I’ve been realllly feeling it lately after removing my crochet and detangling my hair + the works, but with all my hair loss it feels like I’ve gotten no where. Whilst I feel it’s more a case of being unable to afford anything more than basic shampoo and conditioner (alongside a generally stressful environment) I’m nevertheless feeling hopeful to keep it protective so I can bide time until I can properly progress in my journey :D❤

[@cerealis_5432]

If it helps, I personally just deep condition and don’t even bother w/ regular conditioner anymore unless I need it for detangling. Also, you can make deep conditioner out of regular conditioner using olive oil and honey. If that method works for u, maybe the money saved on conditioner can be spent on a good leave in!

[@Dannniellleee]

Stay the course and you’ll see results. Also, be sure to moisturize the heck out of your actual hair (or whatever your strands need) while it’s in the protective style. It helps so much!!

This is my first time watching you and I was sold in the first 2 minutes. Love you already and thanks for, not just the hair tips, but the mental/emotional wellness advice.

Hi. Your video saved my life. I resonated with this video tremendously. Being a healing Trichotillomaniac myself, this video gave me so much warmth and cheerfulness. God knew I needed someone like you to do a video like this! As apart of my journey, I NEEDED to see that i'm not the only one who does this to myself, because we deserve so much better and so do our beautiful curls!!! ILY girl.

Love these reflection videos. I needed this reminder to refocus on controlling my stress levels. After struggling with telogen effluvium off and on since 2018, I’ve learned that my hair really is the window to my soul. Nothing gets past it-it catches every emotion and signals me to imbalances while still hanging in there with me…which is really loyal when I stop to think about it 🤔 I’ll be adopting the ‘trim your life while you trim your hair’ method from this point forward! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@user-tl8so4ry3r]

Thank you for this. It's been really hard to love my hair. I feel like everything I do is wrong but this video I feel like will really help me

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

You are telling my story in different but similar ways too. Wow. What you're sharing here is awesome. Thank you soooo much. This is a deep, true & crucial video, and you are much more than a hair advisor obviously. Who knew our hair care needs would lead us to greater insight, honesty, self care, sanity practices! 😊👍❤️

[@roslynchavda7106]

You have had amazing growth in your hair and mindset! I love it!!!!! I look forward to seeing what you do in 2023!

[@sweetytweety0011]

Ngl, I’ve always loved your hair but I love that you’ve worked out what works for you and your hair in terms of retaining length. Your hair looks incredibly healthy.

[@BinaryEmyaneh]

Trichotilomania, I understand. I would pull entire fistufull of hair in a 1 hour period back when I was in highscool. It went away when I went to college. We can all do it ! Courage everyone going through this.

[@princessmyhand]

I learned to embrace shrinkage years ago. I call it Black Girl Magic. I can go from a TWA to shoulder length hair in the same day. And be asked if it’s a wig! 😂…. In your case it’s Star Puppy Magic! Now your hair is blossoming like your picture in your merch! Love it! ❤🤗🥰

[@theambermaria]

This is the first video that actually talks about the psychology and mentality when it comes to natural hair. Thank you so much for making this video. It is totally different than the other “tips” that people talk about their hair. Yours is most likely the only video that reads truth. Thank you so much my type 4 hair sister 🫶🏾

Fluff nugget is really fluffing, love to see it🫶🏾

[@joygriffin9007]

You speak with such clarity and strength. You have come so far. I am proud of you and enjoy listening to you 🤗

[@crystalfranklin2946]

How have I never seen your channel? I absolutely love your sense of humor and your advice was really helpful! ❤

[@niahuey4282]

I love the way you talk! you’re very witty and your voice is so soothing 🥹❤

[@kerryfitting6070]

Well that was the most real hair growth advice I have ever heard and I appreciate it!! Thank you

[@jeanninegorden8142]

Your transparency is helping others!

[@lauraonyinye9878]

your hair look soo good its great to see a natural hair youtuber that finally falled in love with the process

[@brooklynforever1990]

Love how introspective you are. Glad you have found your way..

[@sweetjreamz]

I just want to be transparent and say that this video popped up in my very new natural state and I was slightly depressed and not even about my hair and for some reason your video gave me hope about a fresh start in general and your helping me with my refocusing. You literally gave me something new to look forward to that healthy for me mentally and physically ❤

[@ultrabarnett]

This video is everything Star. Don’t be afraid to be your own cheerleader. How we feel about ourselves is next level. It takes time & experience to realize the importance of this concept. Show up for you. 😊❤

[@FtWkCn]

Yay, You hair has grownnnnn! Glad to see that all the hard work paid off

[@sophiab8899]

i love seeing you grow more and more into your prime self. Beautiful!!

[@NAIKOchan17]

Your hair has definitely grown a lot! I think if you were to do another hair series, you could do one that focuses on embracing shrinkage rather than running from it. It's just what our hair naturally does. Just letting my hair live where it wants without having to stretch it has helped me appreciate and love the beauty of my "short looking" hair. I am also able to measure my growth based on the bigness of my hair instead of feeling inclined to pull out a measuring tape. I have been wearing wash n go's without stretching them and have fallen in love with how my hair sits without any coaxing. This shifted my mindset about my hair to a different level.

[@concettagermain1192]

I have never heard anyone so therapuetically and st the same time analytically describe their hair situation, with love. you are skilled young lady! Thank you

[@LaurenBrianne8907]

Your hair looks so good. Healthy and thick. Love your personality⭐️ wishing you the best on your journey❤️

[@emilyfarris3510]

I appreciate your honesty about your hair journey. Our relationship with our hair is such a rollercoster of emotions. I did a big chop 3 years ago because my hair fell out due to a Graves disease diagnosis. I have been natural for 3 years and I am still experimenting with products that work well with my hair type. It's definitely an nteresting journey. Love your commentary!🥰

[@aidam5277]

I'm so happy you did all those things not just for your hair but for yourself. Setting realistic expectations for my hair helped me so much and when i tell people that they always look at me weird but that is what really help me.

[@clanzenettabrown7671]

The emotional health message here is powerful. Love how you love you and your hair. ❤

[@leahproctor3232]

I remember seeing your birthday video and it literally made me tear up! I've felt that pain. So happy for the growth you've experience ✨

[@LH-qn4zm]

Beautiful person. Beautiful smile. Beautiful personality. Beautiful hair. I loved watching this & it resonated a bit. This was fun to watch, so thank you 🖤🖤🖤

[@ravenpate9547]

It is very refreshing and helpful that I see more and more black women come out and say I have trichotillomania. I have had trichotillomania since elementary school. I am 28 years old now and still have 5 inches of hair on my head but that’s okay I’m happy with my hair because I have accepted my disorder and try my best to leave my hair alone. Thank you for sharing

[@alexxdaye1]

Your videos are LIFE!!!! This was amazing and I’m sooooo happy for you!! You are and will always be STUNNING Lil Sis!!!! Love watching your journey! You spoke nothin’ but the TRUTH!! Trimming ppl away as we speak!!!😂😂😂

[@julieennis6929]

I haven’t watched you in a while and all I’ll say is wow! I watched during the days of your short and damaged. You are absolutely right, stress is a huge factor. Your advice is excellent and I will share with younger women I know. You still have that wonderful personality. Good work young lady!

[@thegoldenchild95]

You truly do have to find a protective style that actually protects YOUR hair. The passion twist suit you beautifully! ❤ I I am dealing with hair loss because of stress and I’m glad to see there is hope, thank you for sharing this journey with us it was very helpful!

[@ikneadu]

Once I began to embrace my short hair, whaddya know, growth began to happen.
