  • gooorgeous hair <3

    

  • Biggup Megan and all sistahs who wise up like this XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • Fitting thro back song

  • Hi, I love the Natural over the processed all day long. Keep it REAL!!, Nuff Respect!.

  • The Original Natural Hair Journey!!!

  • @ElectraAlex aw thank you lol

  • What's the name of that song? It was jamming!

  • What did you slick your edges down with?

  • You are living proof as if why we should be natural. Look at how dull damaged and short your permed hair was verses how healthy full and long it is now.

  • I really love this video. Your transformation is really amazing. I love the different styles you have, especially the ones with the braids and the afro. I did my B.C. 1 month ago, I can't wait until my hair grows out like that. Question..how do you get your hair to slick back like that? I have been trying to slick my hair back in a puff but it doesn't go well.

  • Being white, I only learned recently what black women have to go through to process their hair. I really resent the pressure that women feel to conform to a narrow definition of what is "beautiful". It's inspiring to see women resist those pressures and create their own standard of beauty.

    I love, love natural hair. It looks so healthy, beautiful and thick. You look amazing. Good for you.

  • @squeakel Oh dear! You do know that a simple blow dryer will straighten most black people's hair. Your sentiment maybe be nice but you're generalizing.

  • @WhoCares3001 Yes, I realize that. I said "process" not "style". : )

  • @squeakel My point was it's different for all of us, it's not as if all black people have the same hair. For example, it's not always "thick" when natural.

    But I totally agree I enjoy when ANY person resists societal pressures to conform to commercial beauty.

  • @WhoCares3001 I just meant that natural hair generally looks thicker than hair that's been straightened. That's usually true of curly, wavy or kinky hair - no matter your race. Hair with texture almost always looks thicker.

  • @squeakel Generally speaking, yes, you're right about that. I thought you were saying something different.

    Just a couple weeks ago a white co-worker (who has curly hair) said that black people need to "process" their hair or "wear weaves" in order to get it straight because their hair is "too thick".

    I thought you were saying something similar. Apologies. :)

  • You live in Jacksonville?!?!?!

  • Inspiration....Inspiration is the best word describe your video !!!!! I had to rewind the section of the video several times to where your hair appears to be relaxed & flat, it was like looking in the mirror at myself. To see how thick & beautiful it looks now is like pure INSPIRATION !

  • Beautiful hair and great video! I am making the lye to natural transition but I am clueless as to what products are best for conditioning. I have read that Taliah Waajid and Carol's Daughter are good products, so I guess I'll check those out. Anyhow, thanks for showcasing that beautiful hair of yours, love it!!!!

  • This was the first natural hair video that I saw that really inspired me to go natural.. I think your the reason why so many people have decided to go natural..After I saw your video, I noticed that more people began to post natural hair videos..

  • @sweettwinky86 Well thank you so much!! I agree...I'd like to think I was the inspiration for the hair journeys and for a lot of women going natural and that makes me this all worth while! I need to do more vids, but like I've stated in other vids, I was just bored on day and decided to make a video out of my pictures. Never expected it to get so many views! But thank you and others for watching and well wishes with the rest of your journey.

  • Helping to inspire.

  • love the color!

  • Você tem o cabelo bonito...

  • Wow yo colors at the begging was popping.... I love your video you are very beautiful!!!

  • wow, this video really inspired me. Im going natural for sure now

  • @B5Bryanlova13 this video had inspired me a year ago. And I have never been so in love with my hair. Its so healthy and I love watching it grow every month. I wish you well on your joruney It is very fun and a learning experience.

  • I have always worn my hair black and really want a change after wearing my hair natural now...we have the same skin tone...what colors did you dye your hair? I cut my hair off in May and have been wearing a 1 inch trim boy cut no tape in the front..LOVE IT...but now Im ready to let it grow out...I like your process, and your hair looks so healthy...please give me some tips...and please dont forget the hair color details..ready to color

    thanks

  • Please view the description and the link provided for product information

  • I have been natural for 6 months now and I am loving how my hair is growing out. I would like to know what you used along the way to manage your hair.

  • What do you do to your hair to make them natural and curly beside the big chop. I dont want to know what you put in it but what was your everyday routine if you don't mind me asking. Thanks in advance.

  • awesome

  • The natural was the absolute best on you in comparison to the straight relaxed look. So Nice!

  • yesss NICE XXXXX

  • Whoop! Whoop!!! Glad to see Tx representing!!! :0) Question: Did you experience any breakage when you colored your hair?

  • @NaturalMzHazelIz I didn't experience any breakage after coloring my hair because I kept it conditioned and moisturized which is important when coloring your hair. And yes, Texas in the house! lol

  • You go Dallas Texas...I live in Temple, TX...been natural for 10 months...it has been an up hill battle...but I am going to hang in there!!

  • @babygirl35ify thank you!!!! It is definitely a battle but it's definitely worth the fight

  • what did you use to define your natural curl pattern in your puffs?

  • @Kimmyboo75 Just a non-alcoholic gel.

  • Love the video, what kind of products do you use?

  • Oh man. Watching this video makes me so proud of you and all my sista's who have taken to loving themselves instead of hating! I'm seriously considering going natural! It's just, I live in England and afros are not seen where I am except for on TV! I guess I should just stop being so ashamed of myself and just do it! Blessed be!! Love you all x

  • What do you put in your hair? are you mixed to get it that curly or what?

  • Beautiful pics and gorgeous hair!:D

  • Beautiful!

  • Great hair journey video!! Loved the music as well it fit your process

  • I love your hair

  • your hair grew fast.

  • How long did it take for your hair to get to this length?

  • @MRbossman1982 dude. you know not all black women think like that........................We­ll let me get to the point.

    Fuck YOU. No one has to accept my hair. including crazy ass, self hating, pieces of human energy like you.

    Nothing to see Folks.........................­..just another D.B. black man-boy

  • Comment removed

  • @MRbossman1982 Please don't use my video to prove points....this is a video spread positivity not to spread ignorance. Thanks but no thanks. Take that somewhere else.

  • I've been natural for about four years now. I realize the less you mess with your hair the more it grows. My hair has grown drastically! My friends are now yearning to do the same, I just let them know that it's a process that worth the magnificent beauty.

  • great video, I have a similar video for natural hair, about protective styling

  • very beautiful. It's been just about 6 months for me and I'm loving it!

  • Your hair is soo beautiful! I love the hair dyes, I've got braids now and I have been natural for 4 months!

  • how did you get your hair to grow that way?its beautiful

  • @itsforevermor my hair has grown by not messing with it honestly. I give it 6 months rest, normally during the summer by wear wigs, weaves, and braids. When I take my hair down, I see significant growth.

  • I just want u 2 know, u truly inspired me to go and stay natural. The pictures and song are so very inspiring. Your hair is beautiful girl!!!

  • I stat in Arlington and I want to know who is your sylist or do u do your own hair all the time? & what products do u use? Very nice vid.

  • Love it!

  • your hair is so beautiful

  • Your hair is beautiful ! how was able to dye your hair ,was there hair loss from doing that ?

  • Love the video....

  • Did yu have qood hair b4 yu did the bc ?.

  • I lvoe it!!! go girl!!!!

  • so happy for you! Love the song.

  • Great job i hope i get the same results pray me up please i use to be natural until i tried the white crack on my hair it was good for couple years but i miss the naturalistic side so im returning

  • i love it!! i did my big chop and in a few months it will have been a year. How do you keep your hair from breaking so that you get consistent growth. So far my hair is growing healthy and fast, but I'm not sure what keeps natural hair strong.

  • @midnightbaby1989 moisture! (water, lots and often!!) ;-) from someone who has 4c/b hair and it gets dry super fast and regularly so you need to spray/wet with water, add a moisturizing leave-in your hair likes (Giovanni direct leave-in or Cantu Shea butter for me) and smooth a natural oil over it to seal afterwards (EVOO, Jojoba, coconut or a blend of your choices) I add a tsp or 2 of JBCO but it makes my hair itch for a bit I find; maybe it's an active oil and is stimulating...hope that helps!

  • @musictoliveby08 Thanks for your help!!

  • @midnightbaby1989 anytime! :D

  • I can't wait till my hair is that length! Great video!

  • I like your hair. Glad you posted this video. I am trying to go natural. No chemicals for about the past 6 months. Still don't have the guts to cut it yet.

  • Comment removed

  • very beautiful

  • @IndoJimbo wow, first off who cares that your a white guy, sorry but round these parts that gains you no brownie points and makes your comment no more relevant than the next, one would even argue that it makes your comment that much more IRRELEVANT. Secondly wth is the cotton ball look? If your referring to our natural and beautiful afros than I suggest that you check yourself because your ignorance is showing. LADIES stay away from simple minded white men who reject that which is uniquely ours

  • @esha112681 - We don't always have to be so swift to think statements that critique are attacks or insults. IndoJHimbo misspoke (he may not have realized it) but he also made his appreciation known. All I'm saying is you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

  • @rellison1967 so true. Her statement was embarrassing.

  • @anewmeePassion whats embarassing is that you didnt see that you got someone who complimented you and at the same time dissed your behind. THAT is embarassing. smh

  • @esha112681 sorry, i guess i miss read the last statement where he said "...just stay away from the cotton ball look ", i thought he said "i like the cotton ball look". shame, my bad.

  • @anewmeePassion Its all good, now you see why I responded the way I did.

  • I so agree with u...WTH is wrong with these straight hair people?

    First of all who give a damn about his opinion... we love our natural hair!!!

    Secondly... WHAT THE HECK IS HE DOING ON HAIR VIDEOS???? smh he seriously needs a life.

  • when u pull ur hair back, do u use a product on the front a sides to make it lie down a lil more??? thanx... i like its cute!

  • I love the variety of your styles. They are so inspirational.

  • love the video Megan!!!!!!

  • I recently did the big chop December 9, 2010. Yay! I'm so happy I had the guts to finally do it. I was gonna wait until January 1, 2011 but I just got too excited. It feels so good to finally be natural ! I transitioned for about 6 1/2 months before the bc.

  • straightening hard hair

  • Your hair is beautiful...

  • Do you feel like you hair texture changed as time passed?

  • ppl r so jelous of ma hair.

  • love the vid. Your hair is beautiful and keep up the great work.! :)

  • Your hair is so pretty I love it! Thanks for the inspiration to stay natural. So far I'm 6 months natural and counting. I plan doing the big chop really soon.

  • I've been natural for a year now. I've always wanted a 'fro, but I'm scared to do the "big chop". So, I just keep getting my hair re-braided about every 2 weeks...

  • view it right here a v a t z . n e t remove spaces

  • I am so jealous! I've decided to go give up the relaxer process and looking at your hair inspires me. i know it's going to be a long process, but i'm excited. thank you

  • fucking beautiful

  • great video. You know everytime I see a video like yours it makes me think, why the heck did we ever relax our hair in the first place??? I know for many of us the choice was taken away by our mothers and their mothers before them, but it's great that so many black women nowadays are making the (positive) choice of going natural. I have nothing against women with relaxed hair (I'm only in month 1 of being natural) but I just think healthy, natural black hair is so beautiful!!

  • yeah

  • i luv u gal

  • beautiful! now that's what's up

  • I LOVE 2:39....Grt Job!

  • I just think that you are absolutely a beautiful young woman!!!.... your transition to "el natural"just enhanced your beauty!!!....

  • a few colour changes but cool

  • Hello Megan. Your video is nice and your hair...beautiful. I decided to go natural as of last year. It's been a year for me w/o a perm. I love the various hairstyles in your video. I take that you went to a stylist in Dallas? I currently live in NYC and I need a stylist that can do natural styles similar to yours and more. You encourge me to stay natural and I know that I will find someone in NYC. Keep it up :0)
