O my goodness okay so i have the exact same hair as you same length and everything! and your video just showed me a brand new way to do my hair with my curls! i have a couple questions like when you get done washing your hair do you brush it out first? and how regulary do you wash your hair? where you buy all the product hair dryer and 2 hair products ive always worn my curl down rather than up and really fluffy but now im going to try this, and also you are very pretty!
@taren916 i have hair like yours. thick. im mixed with caucasion and african american. i cannot, i repeat, CANNOT do my hair. it ends up being terrible!!!
Thank you so much!!! I'm going to purchase all your products and by a diffuser today!! I love my straight hair . I want to learn to love my curls!!! Please keep up the fabulous videos!!
Do you know of any one with a tighter curl pattern (like 3c/4a) using your methods and working? I am having trouble finding a routine that works for me
This is great. I have been at a loss with my curly hair, especially because I was trying to do natural styles that didn't really fit my hair type. I will keep up with your channel so that I can care for my natural curls properly. Thanks!
@ScarlynCuevas97 Beyond the Zone Noodle Head. It can only be found at Sally's because "Beyond the Zone" is Sally's brand. It comes in an orange bottle with blue writing. It's about $6.99. And it not only works, but it smells good too.
I love this video - I'm in my fourth month of transitioning and it's been painful. After seeing this video it's given me hope. Your site is the best out there and believe me I've been browsing many sites. Thanks for the information on the hair products. Keep the videos coming.
I love this video you make it look so simple! I was wondering what do you use for your edges and how often do you wash your hair? I have always been afraid of overwashing my hair and ive heard that a lot of gels make your face greasy but I don’t want my hair to be hard and flaky either how do you do it?
How your hair was before you diffused it, is the same exact kind of hair I am going for on my hair journey!!!!! I have yet to find someone who's hair is exactly what I am going for. Thanks!!!
Of course as I always say, you hair came out beautiful. I'm trying to be a new Ne-Ga-Ro in this day and age.. But I would absolutely LOVE to have your hair!! LoL!! I love my own hair of course, but your hair is like DREAM hair! LoL!
hey i have just recently (like 2 weeks ago lol) started to go natural so i dont even know what a diffuser is! please will someone tell me what it does to the hair and if it is a must have for girls going natural, and if it can work on semi relaxed hair. i am not ready for the big chop!! thanx <3
Your hair is so much like mine.!! I'm biracial and have been trying to figure out my hair my whole life! I'm growing it out natural so this helps sooo much.
Hi There!! I love your video... you give some great tips. I didn't even know what a diffuser was, until I saw your video! ;-) Any whoo.... I do have a question; What do you do in terms of night care? do you sleep on a silk pillow? Do you wrap your hair? How do you keep your big beautiful curls the next day, after you wake up?
Love your hair its amazing...i think my hair curls up too tight and although i will get volume its not as free flowing and stays kind of stiff...any ideas on how to loosen them up?
taren i effin lOVE u! gosh im not even joking... imma do the big chop so i can get the relaxer out of my poor hair, so i can have beautiful BIG hair like yours again
i love this! i am going to try this on my best friend tommorrow. i feel horrible cause i have weave otherwise i would have done this myself! I love love love! you are sooo pretty by the way. when you smile you look like Mya! My God tho. this is awesome!
Taren, both you and your hair are gorgeous! You've inspired me to start going natural. But when on earth did you get that huge diffuser from? Can I buy the attachment for my blowdryer? Also, I must have watched all of your hair tutorials for different products. Is there one set product you like better or recommend always. My hair could be just like yours, but I never diffuse. But I will!
OMG... after all these years, I finally now learn the secret to adding volume to my hair, I usually go a day or two without washing my hair to get that volume, but now I know all I needed was a diffuser. Thanks
Okay, Taren, I have a question. Does your hair only reach that volume when using a diffuser? I love it and want to know if that's the only way to achieve it.
wow this is just like my mixed chick hair styling on curly hair....i did four sections as well. looks like us curly gurls have similar routines :) i like that. rock on!
Hi Taren My name is cindy newings and i live in athens, GA i would just like to say that im a huge fan of yours and i love u hair and my hair is long as yours also and i keep it healthy and i like to look at different things on youtube and try it out for my self on my own hair also ! like.... natural hair, styles, and others things also and just things that will fit me u know? And i love your make-up i also where make-up too and love u hair and my page is 512cindyn if u want to add me !!!!
I am natural, & i just started growing my hair back because I'm 19 & i stopped taking care of it in highschool and it broke off , but when I go to college i decided to take care of it . My seems to be the exact same texture as yours, Its curly but its shorter so it doesn't look as good. I love my hair when its straight though,but I want to try the glue in.. I just hope it doesn't break off my hair ! thanks for your help you're AMAZING !
Taren, I have been natural for 2 years now and have been wearing sew-ins for lack of knowledge on how to style my hair naturally. I love your videos and will definitely start wearing wash n gos now. My question is: HOW DO I KNOW WHICH TYPE OF HAIR I HAVE? Does a certain type of hair require certain products?
yesss! I use Shea Moisture as well and got super excited when you showed it lol..been currently transitioning for about 4-5 months now..can't wait til i an wear it out like this :)
i definitely need to try this one day to see if i can get that kind of volume. sometimes i get volume in my hair just letting it air dry and shaking my hair around and running my fingers through it but its always flat at the front which usually annoys me b/c i try to get volume there but it doesnt work.
What is the name of that leave-in conditioner applied to your hair before using the Miss Jessie's Quick Curls? Very good hair regimen for natural hair. Thanks.
Hi Taren first off let me say that I love your hair videos and I identify closest with you on YT for natural hair girls. I must tell you a funny story though I am an avid fan of natural hair vids (esp yours) and the other day I was telling my husband about you (as usual) using these products while we were in Target trying to decide which to buy, he looked at me with all seriousness and said "whose Taren, someone that you work with?" LOL! That's how much I talk about your hair.
GORGEOUS!! 2 things-As I'm applying the smoothie and quick curls I find a "ton" of hair in my fingers. it's almost like Im pulling my hair out. Do you have any "fallout"? Also, do you find your hair shrinks throughout the day? When I stretch, I have to be really careful or it will frizz AND it only lasts about an hour before shrinkage occurs??!! I don't know how you avoid that with NY humidity. any advice?
ok, i'm using the same products and it's taking me 20-25 min to completely diffuse my hair (low heat/low speed). do you think i need a more expensive blow dryer and/or a bigger diffuser cup? mine is considerably smaller than yours. thanks!! :)
Also my hair sucks at holding water. As soon as I get out the shower its half way dry. And it never use to be like that. I have a patch of blonde at the top of my hair, and my blonde part is the only part that acts right and holds water, less frizzy, etc...I'm not sure what I should do. I'm on the verge of wanting to chop all my hair off or get a perm again. And I'm fully 100% natural by the way.
Hi taren! I love your videos! Your very smart and are a big help to me! Do you think you can help me? My hair is extremely dull, dry, brittle, and some parts won't curl. I'm not sure if its heat damaged or not. My hair wasn't like this before when I first started my hair journey. What would you suggest I do? Any products? I'm kinda on a budget too. Lol
hay i kno ur hair is color treated. does the hot oil treatment cause the color to fade quicker? i wanted to die my hair blue/purple this year but i do have hot oil treatments in my regimen. i was kind of nervous of doing the treatments?
I have the same hair type as you but i dont like my hair being soo BIG (which happened to me)i have a full day of school do you have a way for curly hair to stay flatter?
@butterflyzhaven I think you are referring to the curl and style milk? I have that along with the curl enhancing smoothie. The milk is also very moisturizing, but it doesn't curl the hair as much. I prefer to use it on dry hair for quick moisture replenishing.
yay!!!!! I have the same hair texture and could NEVER figure out how to get a curly fro!!! Now I kno! I'm so happy! Thank you so much for posting this vid!
I'm transitioning from a relaxer and after a year I have about 6+ inches of new growth. I refuse to BC. Do you think I could get my hair similar to this style? My hair is a little past BS length and almost Mid-back length. Help! :D
Great video Taren! Are you able to get 2nd and 3rd day hair with this routine? Also are you still using the "pineapple" as your night time routine? Although my hair is 4a I love, love your videos! Your diffusing technique is so on point and although my hair turned out horrible the first time I tried I'm gonna try again. Thanks!
I see a few people using the blow dryer to fluff their curls, and I'm not a big fan of heat, I feel it would dry my hair out more, as I am constatnly trying to make sure my hair feels moisturized and soft. Is there a key to using the blow dryer without drying your hair out? I do know the cool setting is one way.
@Godsflame1 Yes you're right using the coo setting is an excellent option for the same results.. Of course the process would be a little slower of course... Also, When using a really moisturizing leave in when styling that helps alot along with a heat protectant... I still need to find me a heat protectant that doesn't interfere with my styling though.. But I have been diffusing for YEARS and I have never suffered from dryness or breakage in my experience..
@Brittany1908 My hair is mixed with 3/b and 3/c curls.... I choose to diffuse for faster drying mostly because I hate the way my hair looks completely wet and it helps when I want to be out the door with a finished look.. It also helps tremendously with VOLUME.. which I live for..Lol..
whats the difference between the curl enhancing smoothie and the curl and hold smoothie? Cant seem to find the "curl enhancing"...so I wonder if they are basically the same.
@butterflyzhaven Target has the product listed wrong on their website. There is no "curl and hold." Either that or they may have switched the names, but I know that I bought the Curl Enhancing Smoothie from the store, even though it said Curl and Hold on the website
quick curls is at target too i wanna try it i tried kinky curly yesterday and i dont like it at first it gave me great definition but then when it dried it felt crunchy and extremely dry i couldnt wait to wash it out and when i did my hair felt weird lmost a striped feelin either that or the product was to heavy.. and i used like 2 quarters size for my whole head and i have thick hair i think im going return it cuz it was 18 dollars and save towards quick curls..
I love your hair... I am a natural newbie I love watching ids like this all the time... I actually learned something because I didn't know what a diffuser was before lol
Great video. I really like the curly look best. I would be afriad to straighten my hair as I don't want to mess up my curl patern. I was straight for 20 years so I actually think I've had my fill of straight hair. Now it seems so ordinary because allot of wmen wear their hair straight. I RARELY so a naturally curlly girl.
I love Shea Moisture products, I tried them for the first time a few months ago when I went to Target to "invest" in some Miss jessie's and opted to get that instead. I love your vids!
I've tried looking for the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie at every Target in my area but couldn't find it anywhere... Do you know if it's been discontinued? I really want to try it.
Also my 9 yo daughter who is mixed has hair like yours, but my five year old has thin, more white textured hair with looser curls. Would u recommend the mixed chicks for her hair type? I use miss jessie's on Maria's hair. I usually keep it n 7 cornrows starting Sunday night with baby buttercreme. We keep it up for a few days and then take it down and she wears her hair down till Sunday again. The hold and curls stay with little to no frizz.
wow this helped a lot. thank you. im used to just using the diffuser for like 2 mins. but, ill try it for longer. also need to check out ur styling products. my hairs been a mess lately lloll.
Loving the shea moisture! I picked some up and can't stop telling everyone how much I love it. It holds in the moisture and for me defines more curls...just wish it held them on its own. You do tempt me to get the quick curls though...
It didnt have a Taren feel until you diffused your hair lol your style is signature..also what happened to your Kelis and Amerie music?? Whats all this new random stuff lol
@oOxCaramelxOo Lol! Thanks.... I miss the other music too it's just that I need to get permission to use it especially since I made YouTube partner :-/ So I've been making my own music... I'm working on some hiphop and R&B sounds though...Lol
@taren916 lmao I know what you mean I'm trying to make my own music for my videos to..being a jack err jill of all trades ain't easy lol. But anyways great video, so THAT'S how you get the signature look lol.
what's the music?

@butterflyzhaven I think you are referring to the curl and style milk? I have that along with the curl enhancing smoothie. The milk is also very moisturizing, but it doesn't curl the hair as much. I prefer to use it on dry hair for quick moisture replenishing.

I'm transitioning from a relaxer and after a year I have about 6+ inches of new growth. I refuse to BC. Do you think I could get my hair similar to this style? My hair is a little past BS length and almost Mid-back length. Help! :D

Great video Taren! Are you able to get 2nd and 3rd day hair with this routine? Also are you still using the "pineapple" as your night time routine? Although my hair is 4a I love, love your videos! Your diffusing technique is so on point and although my hair turned out horrible the first time I tried I'm gonna try again. Thanks!

I see a few people using the blow dryer to fluff their curls, and I'm not a big fan of heat, I feel it would dry my hair out more, as I am constatnly trying to make sure my hair feels moisturized and soft. Is there a key to using the blow dryer without drying your hair out? I do know the cool setting is one way.
Godsflame1 1 year ago
@Godsflame1 Yes you're right using the coo setting is an excellent option for the same results.. Of course the process would be a little slower of course... Also, When using a really moisturizing leave in when styling that helps alot along with a heat protectant... I still need to find me a heat protectant that doesn't interfere with my styling though.. But I have been diffusing for YEARS and I have never suffered from dryness or breakage in my experience..
taren916 1 year ago
Taren, I'm not sue if you've ever stated this before, but what is your hair type? Also, why do you choose to diffuse?
Brittany1908 1 year ago
@Brittany1908 My hair is mixed with 3/b and 3/c curls.... I choose to diffuse for faster drying mostly because I hate the way my hair looks completely wet and it helps when I want to be out the door with a finished look.. It also helps tremendously with VOLUME.. which I live for..Lol..

whats the difference between the curl enhancing smoothie and the curl and hold smoothie? Cant seem to find the "curl enhancing"...so I wonder if they are basically the same.

@butterflyzhaven I've never heard of the curl and hold..

@butterflyzhaven there is no difference...targets website has different names for the product for some odd reason...

@butterflyzhaven Target has the product listed wrong on their website. There is no "curl and hold." Either that or they may have switched the names, but I know that I bought the Curl Enhancing Smoothie from the store, even though it said Curl and Hold on the website

@butterflyzhaven i was wondering the same thing..i can't find it either..i was assuming maybe they just changed the name of the product

quick curls is at target too i wanna try it i tried kinky curly yesterday and i dont like it at first it gave me great definition but then when it dried it felt crunchy and extremely dry i couldnt wait to wash it out and when i did my hair felt weird lmost a striped feelin either that or the product was to heavy.. and i used like 2 quarters size for my whole head and i have thick hair i think im going return it cuz it was 18 dollars and save towards quick curls..

Great video. I really like the curly look best. I would be afriad to straighten my hair as I don't want to mess up my curl patern. I was straight for 20 years so I actually think I've had my fill of straight hair. Now it seems so ordinary because allot of wmen wear their hair straight. I RARELY so a naturally curlly girl.

Also my 9 yo daughter who is mixed has hair like yours, but my five year old has thin, more white textured hair with looser curls. Would u recommend the mixed chicks for her hair type? I use miss jessie's on Maria's hair. I usually keep it n 7 cornrows starting Sunday night with baby buttercreme. We keep it up for a few days and then take it down and she wears her hair down till Sunday again. The hold and curls stay with little to no frizz.

Loving the shea moisture! I picked some up and can't stop telling everyone how much I love it. It holds in the moisture and for me defines more curls...just wish it held them on its own. You do tempt me to get the quick curls though...
