@miltonmarie Yea, lol, I cringe when I look back at this video. It took me a really really long time to retrain myself on not just "combing it out and stop being tenderheaded". mentality. And to get more patience. And to figure out how much water I can put on my hair before it starts being a hindrance vs helping etc, lol
That was really cool to see I will try that once my hair gets to a good length...only 1month into my big chop and twa. Thanks a bunch for the idea though.
This is awesome! It turned out so well and I bet your hair felt very soft and well protected from breakage from all those conditioners! I'm going to start using a conditioner along with my leave in when I bantu my hair or something of the sort!
Look at that BEAUTIFUL HAIR! I was trying to attempt the same thing. And I'm going to try what you did. Thank you so much for this video. #subscribing :)
I'm so glad I found your video! I'm glad you cancelled "can't" and tried...and did a good job too! One never knows what's possible until it's attempted.
@cocoabakerchica Awesome! I'm glad you did too :) No problem! I like to document things I try for the first time and thank you, I was trying to get that curliness around, lol! Right? You never know until you try!
wow your hair is so thick and long! its gorgeous!! How long did it take you to get that length? I went Natural in the beginning of June, and its about 4 inches if you pull it.. I am so lost on ideas that i just wear it pulled back for now.
@SweetKandy8586 Aww, thank you, That length took about 8 months, I'd only been natural a month or so at that time. Well you can take this time to find out what works and doesn't on your hair, you can practice twists or braiding if you don't know how or already do, it's different on curly hair, You can try different coverings for it at night, because it's bigger in volume than when it was straight (or at least mine was). There's a lot of different things, I started by trying them on the weekends
@briolette Thanks for the suggestions :) The new glasses that I have are square and darker, lol, so I think it's funny you suggested that :) Np, glad you enjoyed the video :)
@briolette {:o) Oh yea! I forgot I was wearing glasses in those and yea, lol I like them much better than that other pair that I had on in this video, lol! Thank you and take care!
Your face and your eyes are just beautiful. As soon as you put those white glasses on I said Oh NO!!! Those white glasses greatly detract from your good looks. Get rid of them as fast as you can - go for something darker and not round.
@briolette Thank you so much, that's a very nice compliment! :) I wear contacts normally, but every now and then I have to give the eyes a break, and that was one of those times :)
Don't let narrow minded, silly, people get you down. They simply have no understanding and no desire to understand. Thank you for taking the time to post your attempts.
nice video..when i went natural i was also totally clueless about what to do to my hair so the drawstring was my friend also and still is when i feel like it.
My hair was never natural and it was a SIMPLE QUESTiON it was not meant to piss you off in any kind of way I JUST ASKED yoU BASICALLY WHY DONT YOU GET A PERM!!!! you didnt have to overeact to that f***** question it was a basic simple question damn stupid ass youtube users these days just over react to any question someone asks them pisses ME off when I ask a question and the user comments saying some ignorant ass shit!!
@obgynangela A simple question with assumptions in it. I don't get a relaxer because I don't want one. I'm not mad at you. I just don't understand why people like you get so hyped up over my videos when they could EASILY find out more before thinking they know me. I got tired of straight hair, of burning my scalp for a look, before I went natural I got a relaxer and my hair started falling out. I took a break from it that's lasted years. I'm sorry I assumed you were
@obgynangela Just another person talking about the same thing. Over the years so many people have commented about that ponytail, so many assume my goal was to straighten my hair. I was just seeing what my hair would do if I wrap it. Part of it fluffed out, part didn't. I was documenting my own trials and errors not trying to impress anybody or tell anyone what to do with their hair or anything. Some even say well then take the video down, This video is for me. I can go back and see where I start
@obgynangela Started and over all this time, I've learned how to do my hair while it's natural. I like it better this way, it's not falling out, It's curly and big, and I'm happy with my hair all the time now instead of just after getting a fresh perm. So if it seemed like I went from 0-60 in no time, that's why. All of the trollers sound just like you did and instead of ignoring I'm commenting. No one likes to have to defend themselves first thing in the morning, especially to strangers.
@obgynangela Why don't you wear your hair natural? She's right, the question has assumptions in it. Like, why didn't you ask "Why don't you shave yoru hair completely bald?" or "Why don't you dye your hair green?" You asked her about perming her hair b/c somehoe in your mind that is the right thing to do. You know, I JUST finished asking the question why most Black women despise the natural texture of their hair.
I see Blacks rocking the ugliest weaves and ugly broken permed hair and they still prefer that over the natural texture. To me it's quite telling about how we view ourselves as a race. Kinky hair goes hand in hand w/ dark skin. Nobody wants it Blacks act like our genetic disposition is some disease/affliction that has to be hidden and then diluted through race mixing. It's f*cking sad.
@Flipsbytch Ok...the majority of Blacks don't want it. I thought it would be clear that I meant the majority of Black folks since this is a video of a Black woman working with her natural texture hair. Obviously I couldn't mean literally nobody wants it. I too wear my hair natural. The point is that Black people in general across the world treat the way they look as if it is a defect continually trying to "correct" it by perming their hair, staying out the sun to not get "too dark", etc
@obgynangela you need to calm down and grow up. you sound rude and ignorant. most black women who go natural are on a journey to LEARN what to do with their hair. Shut up and fall back in your place, please, while this lady shows us where her journey began, what she learned, what she tried, and where she is now. It's pathetic that you're so hell bent on coming online and crapping on other people. It reflects ugly qualities in yourself and nothing else about this lady here. Pipe down.
@obgynangela Then venom and condescension with which you have asked your "questions" overrides any true spirit of query you may have had. The ugly presumption with which you laced everything is not basic; its rude.
@obgynangela You obviously didn't take the time to read the disclaimer at the beginning of this video and since you took the time to judge me, I'll take the time to explain. I'd been natural all of a month at that time. I went natural because I wanted to for various reasons. I had my hair relaxed since before I can remember, I had to figure it out on my own how to do it and I still had some habits. No one changes overnight. I haven't owned a pony tail in years. This video was almost 3 years ago
@obgynangela Next time before you call yourself calling someone out, you should watch some recent videos see what they're about, because you make yourself seem dumb, overzealous and judgmental. What I do with my hair doesn't have to be on your timeline or by your logic. I didn't have the option to learn how to do it first so get off your horse. Where's your natural hair videos? Oh wait, just another faceless person making useless comments. Stop trolling and get a life.
The problem your having is that your trying to wrap natural hair the way you wrap relaxed hair. You cannot use the same technique on natural hair because then your gonna be fighting all that bulk and your crown is going to be thick and frizzy. You started it off correct by combing it all down towards the face and then directing it around in a circular motion but instead of smoothing it at the bottom around the hairlind first start at the crown around in a circular motion working to the hairline
Thank you so much for replying. I was curious. i have many friends who wear there hare natural...short cropped cut to small afro. all of which look very cute. And I asked on the same question i asked you and she got upset..not sure why. As i understood it she wanted to rock what God gave her, which is awesome. So i didn't understand why she had to alter it to see its length.
Anywho, have a great week and thanks for replying.
@rebeccageorge12 No problem, it can take getting used to not worrying about hair length since having such curly hair sometimes you can't see the growth without a ruler or straightening it. The first 6 months my hair it didn't look like it grew at all, but a ruler proved that wrong. My hair had grown 4 inches. coupled some people's reactions, why did you cut off all your hair and you explain it's the same length, but they don't believe you etc. Everyone has their own reasons.
@rebeccageorge12 I didn't do this to straighten it. I did it to see if I could wrap it. I also tried different braids, twists, knots, banding and other things on my hair. It just so happened that it stretched my hair out, I didn't know it would do that. At the time I'd only been natural a few months and had no idea what my hair would and wouldn't do and I was experimenting. Trial and error since I had no one to teach me how to do my natural hair.
@rebeccageorge12 I did straighten my hair 3x after doing this video. Once was to see if my hair would fall out, damage, get stuck straight like the scary stories I'd heard. (video of that too) Next was to see what my hair looked like straightened all over when it was longer than my hair relaxed had ever been, & the last time was to trim it in feb 2010. Those were my reasons when I did & those weren't good ones. I don't even own a blow dryer now, that trial is over.
@Ambah321 I'm not sure what you mean by growing edges, you mean the finer hair around the edge of your scalpline? As far as I know everyone naturally has shorter hair around the edges they can comb down or whatever. I hear that scalp massages, no ponytails (traction alopecia) and not putting chemicals can help grow edges back (Chemical Burnout alopecia)
@Mskimhart I haven't tried it yet, it's hard for me to get into trying new products after finding some that work for me that I can just make myself. On top of that some of the ones I tried cost to much for what they do or don't do. I still might try it eventually though if I get bored enough, lol, Have you tried it? How did you like it if you have?
@ayamejoy yes i use Miss Jessies. I love it. I prefer to were my hair curly though and not staighten it. I think it is good for natural styles. Also it doesnt dry out the hair like almost every other black hair care products. Check out their vids, i think their on youtube also. .... If you try it and like it you should post it.
@Mskimhart Cool, I hear good things about it, I went through my product testing phase/trial and error phase around the time I made this video so I'm not going to seek it out, but if I come across it and have the funds I'll check it out, They are on youtube, or at least I've seen a lot of videos with people trying it on youtube at least, glad you found something that your hair likes, that's one of the things that took me a while when I stopped relaxing
@ayamejoy yes i use Miss Jessies. I love it. I prefer to were my hair curly though and not staighten it. I think it is good for natural styles. Also it doesnt dry out the hair like almost every other black hair care products. Check out their vids, i think their on youtube also. .... If you try it and like it you should post it.
you are soo funny :D..the hustle of styling your hair really reminds me of my own :D but you handle your hair more appreciative while I always felt like I wanted to shaved my head off..thanks for posting
just thought I'd say I love how beautiful us black girls with natural hair are. i look at girls with relaxers like why are you putting all these chemicals in your hair. to each there own i guess you're hair is beautiful and so are you
@MrsBossLADY24 {:o) Glad you enjoyed it, one of the best ways to learn, lol, I most certainly have had my fair share of trial and error with my hair, I know way more about it than I ever thought possible when i first decided to experiment on myself, lol
@TheCon08 at that point I think I had only been "natural" for a couple months, but i transitioned for 8-9 months and had 5 inches of hair when I got my "big chop" my hair grows an average of 1/2 a month I found out after that
you look a hot mess get a perm plz..... dnt do it ta yourself!!!!!!! thank god for fake hair..... lawwwd you a joke..... i gotta watch did again......... laughing so hard....
@gangstagirl504 wow, you feel so strongly about it you commented and watched twice, interesting. Not getting a relaxer though, I'm done burning up my head and hair for a look. I don't need my hair to look like a white girls to feel alright about myself and I'd rather not attract a guy that is so shallow my hair is more important than my brains and heart. You may think it's a "hot mess" but it's working for me :) most definitely {:o)
@ayamejoy of course i had to comment on it..... this is really the funniest thing i've seen today........... im about too watch it again cause it looks a hottttt mess!!!! you don't kno how to put a perm in your hair. it's not suppose to bunn your head.... i would neva do my hair for a man i put them under my foot... perms are for beauty, sure you can have it without.. but you look better wit........ plz do another video asap....... waiting... waiting..... waiting......
@gangstagirl504 I do know "how" to relax my hair. Everyone says its not supposed to burn, however i'm one of those people with a "sensitive scalp", even after coating my scalp with oil, yadda yadda after 10 minutes my head would start burning and itching. Even without washing or scratching my head for days, etc and that's not long enough to get my hair straight. You ever read the instructions on one? Most people do it "wrong".
if you ever wrap your hair natural again, use bobby pins to hold the parts that fall! I have hair past my shoulders now, but its natural, and i wanted to know if anyone with a hair texture similar to mine could wrap it with no heat because its so good not to use heat on our hair for a while. maybe i'll do a cold roller set for my hair and see how that turns out.thanks for the video!
@BRITTNEYFICATION I do every now and then, and I use those big big bobby pins, I understand the feeling, I hadn't a clue and that's one of the reasons I ended up with this video, I tried as many things as I could to find out what I could and couldn't do with my hair. Cool! I hope the rollerset works for ya and you're welcome, I get negative feedback for it all the time, but it's people like you that make me think I should keep it up :) Have a good week!
Why on EARTH would anyone try to wrap hair when its still curly? I thought the point of wrapping in general was to protect ur hair and give a heat free style... but if you have to rake a comb through delacate curls then one of those hard bristled brushes.. yikes, worse than just flat ironing it.
@Offended83Shadow The reason on earth I tried 2 years ago after I'd been natural all of a month or two is because I wanted to know if I could and there were no other videos of anyone else doing it, so I did and documented it. I was "natural" probably 5 weeks at the time and had no Idea what to do with my hair so I experimented. Trial and error. I was never told that the rule of wrapping is to style it, more of a way to make it easier to cover at night. This is why it's good people share now
Respond to this video...also, I would much rather comb my hair to hard once in a while than permanently heat damage my hair. That's why I haven't flat ironed in over a year and probably won't ever again after only trying it 3 times since going "natural". If it makes you feel better, during my trial and error I did learn about combs and now all of mine are seamless and the only brush i use is a denman. I was using the tools and knowledge I had at that time. Don't judge me for that
@ayamejoy and when you put stuff on youtube and leave it up, you will get comments 2 years later on it. no need in getting angry at people making comments about something you did 2 years ago. U put the vid up and people will comment on it
@Offended83Shadow I understand I will get comments, that's why I still allow them. From my perspective once again you assume something. Did I say that I was angry in any of my statements? I'm not mad at you for making a comment or anything else. If I was I would have just deleted it and not responded like I do to most of the racist, foul language, etc comments. I called myself answering your "why on earth" question and giving you my opinion since you gave me yours. If I offended you I apologize
if your going to wrap your hair you will need way more setting lotion.. and plus you should washing it first .. also with your type of hair you WILL need heat to get it straight.. use a heat protectant and a ceramic flat iron to get the best results.. blow drying with a ionic dryer and a good paddle brush may give you better results as well
@SuperHmmm09 the point wasn't to get it straight. I know how to heat my hair til it's straight and wrap it. Did for years when I relaxed my hair. Point was to see what I could do with the curly hair since I had no one to teach me but me how to do my natural hair & I got some results that surprised me. I wanted to know if I could so when I tried it I documented it. My channel is basically a vlog of all the random stuff I might feel like looking back on later. Blowdryers and my hair are a no no.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I think God directed me to your video. Also, Believe me they wont get far b/c every dog has their day. And I'll definitely keep you in my prayers, always. :) muchluv
how do i get a nappy afro but i got more curly hair than nappy and i dont want a jew fro :( i heard you gotta blow dry it to get a nappy afro look so what do i do??????? help
@crusial123 I'm not entirely sure how to take this question. I do know the definition of nappy the word originated in the 1400's and meant downy and got turned into a derogatory term in the 1950's in america. So are you asking me how to make your hair look soft and downy? I don't know what your hair looks like, so I'm not sure what to tell you.
my hair is like natural Jheri curls if youve ever seen them. and i want a afro llooking kinda like Ludacris's (the Rapper) afro but when i pick my hair up its still curly and looks like a Jewfro. and i wanted to know how to get the more coarse hair look
@ayamejoy i gave it a go thanks for the advice :D it made it into smaller curls so its better :D ima blow dry it in a few mins so i can get the more of an afro look
@SweetSincerity About the glasses, I haven't been in a claires in soo long, they sell frames there? regular claires or the Claire's Icing or Ice whatever it's called? I'll try it if I find some cute frames :)
@SweetSincerity It varies what people like to do. I was trying to weigh it down, (that's why I put so much stuff in it) but even that didn't seem to work very well. One of the points of this was seeing if I could do it in general and seeing if I could stretch my hair in a way that didn't involve, braids, twists, or heat. That whole straight bit was just a surprise. I hadn't found any vids where someone wrapped non-relaxed hair and I was trying it anyway so I made a video :)
@majmunko23 Not all Africans came to the USA this year. For the ones who's ancestors were brought back in the 17-1800's that are 300 years removed from being African, but can't go around calling themselves only American because only one ethnic group does that we are stuck in the middle. Africans don't want us calling ourself african and in america we're not plain "americans". it is what it is wether you think it's stupid or not, and that's why some people prefer to be called black.
@majmunko23 Thank you and my thing is you can call yourself black American or African American if your prefer. But if you are straight out of Africa then you are African. I don't know why people make it more difficult than it is. Maybe my Great, great grandmother, or great, great, great grandmother or father came from
Africa but that's generations back. I'm not from Africa nor is my mom or father, grandparents, or great grandparent, so I don't say I'm African.
@nakiel26 you said it. I was trying to accurately describe my hair. From looking at me would you know that my Grandmother is half white on both sides? Do you see the Native american in my face? It would take too long to accurately describe my hair by ethnicity because I don't know the half of it myself, and I thought people would know that I'm not directly from africa because I said african american. Guess I was wrong. I'm changing the name, causing too much trouble....
@koberamone1989 Unfortunately I have expensive taste in frames so I'm stuck wearing contacts or ugly glasses, lol! I walk into the store find a pair that look nice, fits my personality and blam! Price tag $600! And I'm walking away, walking away, lol!
What can I say I have just watched you wrapping your hair, you seemed to have managed it quite well. On the other hand I could not stop laughing you were really funny towards the end. who said you cannot have fun doing your hair you made it funny. It was hilarious. I enjoyed it especially with the background music. When are you doing another one?? Ps your hair is beautiful.
@tigra321 Thank you, lol I'm glad you liked it, It's probably going to be a while before I make more videos, I have to get one of my computers fixed. The desktop is stuck on the system restore page and the laptops USB parts are pushed in and I can't get the videos from the camcorder to the computer, it's annoying, but I'm going to get it fixed asap. awe, thank you :)

@cupcakexrider thank you cupcake, I didn't have a clue how it was going to turn out so it was a fun experiment, who says you can't have fun with trial and error {:o)
i liked the end result, however it reminded of the length of time I took to get my natural hair soft after washing, so I had to relax it when I had my son... now im growing it out natural again... hard work..
I laughed so hard i'm sorry

@obgynangela Why don't you wear your hair natural? She's right, the question has assumptions in it. Like, why didn't you ask "Why don't you shave yoru hair completely bald?" or "Why don't you dye your hair green?" You asked her about perming her hair b/c somehoe in your mind that is the right thing to do. You know, I JUST finished asking the question why most Black women despise the natural texture of their hair.
Nicklicious 8 months ago
I see Blacks rocking the ugliest weaves and ugly broken permed hair and they still prefer that over the natural texture. To me it's quite telling about how we view ourselves as a race. Kinky hair goes hand in hand w/ dark skin. Nobody wants it Blacks act like our genetic disposition is some disease/affliction that has to be hidden and then diluted through race mixing. It's f*cking sad.

@Flipsbytch Ok...the majority of Blacks don't want it. I thought it would be clear that I meant the majority of Black folks since this is a video of a Black woman working with her natural texture hair. Obviously I couldn't mean literally nobody wants it. I too wear my hair natural. The point is that Black people in general across the world treat the way they look as if it is a defect continually trying to "correct" it by perming their hair, staying out the sun to not get "too dark", etc

@obgynangela you need to calm down and grow up. you sound rude and ignorant. most black women who go natural are on a journey to LEARN what to do with their hair. Shut up and fall back in your place, please, while this lady shows us where her journey began, what she learned, what she tried, and where she is now. It's pathetic that you're so hell bent on coming online and crapping on other people. It reflects ugly qualities in yourself and nothing else about this lady here. Pipe down.

@obgynangela You obviously didn't take the time to read the disclaimer at the beginning of this video and since you took the time to judge me, I'll take the time to explain. I'd been natural all of a month at that time. I went natural because I wanted to for various reasons. I had my hair relaxed since before I can remember, I had to figure it out on my own how to do it and I still had some habits. No one changes overnight. I haven't owned a pony tail in years. This video was almost 3 years ago
ayamejoy 8 months ago
@obgynangela Next time before you call yourself calling someone out, you should watch some recent videos see what they're about, because you make yourself seem dumb, overzealous and judgmental. What I do with my hair doesn't have to be on your timeline or by your logic. I didn't have the option to learn how to do it first so get off your horse. Where's your natural hair videos? Oh wait, just another faceless person making useless comments. Stop trolling and get a life.
ayamejoy 8 months ago
The problem your having is that your trying to wrap natural hair the way you wrap relaxed hair. You cannot use the same technique on natural hair because then your gonna be fighting all that bulk and your crown is going to be thick and frizzy. You started it off correct by combing it all down towards the face and then directing it around in a circular motion but instead of smoothing it at the bottom around the hairlind first start at the crown around in a circular motion working to the hairline

Thank you so much for replying. I was curious. i have many friends who wear there hare natural...short cropped cut to small afro. all of which look very cute. And I asked on the same question i asked you and she got upset..not sure why. As i understood it she wanted to rock what God gave her, which is awesome. So i didn't understand why she had to alter it to see its length.
Anywho, have a great week and thanks for replying.
rebeccageorge12 9 months ago
@rebeccageorge12 No problem, it can take getting used to not worrying about hair length since having such curly hair sometimes you can't see the growth without a ruler or straightening it. The first 6 months my hair it didn't look like it grew at all, but a ruler proved that wrong. My hair had grown 4 inches. coupled some people's reactions, why did you cut off all your hair and you explain it's the same length, but they don't believe you etc. Everyone has their own reasons.
ayamejoy 9 months ago
Hi...wondering why you wanted to straighten out your hair if you wear it naturally?
rebeccageorge12 9 months ago
@rebeccageorge12 I didn't do this to straighten it. I did it to see if I could wrap it. I also tried different braids, twists, knots, banding and other things on my hair. It just so happened that it stretched my hair out, I didn't know it would do that. At the time I'd only been natural a few months and had no idea what my hair would and wouldn't do and I was experimenting. Trial and error since I had no one to teach me how to do my natural hair.
ayamejoy 9 months ago
@rebeccageorge12 I did straighten my hair 3x after doing this video. Once was to see if my hair would fall out, damage, get stuck straight like the scary stories I'd heard. (video of that too) Next was to see what my hair looked like straightened all over when it was longer than my hair relaxed had ever been, & the last time was to trim it in feb 2010. Those were my reasons when I did & those weren't good ones. I don't even own a blow dryer now, that trial is over.

Ambah321 10 months ago
@Ambah321 I'm not sure what you mean by growing edges, you mean the finer hair around the edge of your scalpline? As far as I know everyone naturally has shorter hair around the edges they can comb down or whatever. I hear that scalp massages, no ponytails (traction alopecia) and not putting chemicals can help grow edges back (Chemical Burnout alopecia)

@ayamejoy yes i use Miss Jessies. I love it. I prefer to were my hair curly though and not staighten it. I think it is good for natural styles. Also it doesnt dry out the hair like almost every other black hair care products. Check out their vids, i think their on youtube also. .... If you try it and like it you should post it.

gangstagirl504 1 year ago
@gangstagirl504 I do know "how" to relax my hair. Everyone says its not supposed to burn, however i'm one of those people with a "sensitive scalp", even after coating my scalp with oil, yadda yadda after 10 minutes my head would start burning and itching. Even without washing or scratching my head for days, etc and that's not long enough to get my hair straight. You ever read the instructions on one? Most people do it "wrong".
ayamejoy 1 year ago
if you ever wrap your hair natural again, use bobby pins to hold the parts that fall! I have hair past my shoulders now, but its natural, and i wanted to know if anyone with a hair texture similar to mine could wrap it with no heat because its so good not to use heat on our hair for a while. maybe i'll do a cold roller set for my hair and see how that turns out.thanks for the video!

@BRITTNEYFICATION I do every now and then, and I use those big big bobby pins, I understand the feeling, I hadn't a clue and that's one of the reasons I ended up with this video, I tried as many things as I could to find out what I could and couldn't do with my hair. Cool! I hope the rollerset works for ya and you're welcome, I get negative feedback for it all the time, but it's people like you that make me think I should keep it up :) Have a good week!

Why on EARTH would anyone try to wrap hair when its still curly? I thought the point of wrapping in general was to protect ur hair and give a heat free style... but if you have to rake a comb through delacate curls then one of those hard bristled brushes.. yikes, worse than just flat ironing it.
Offended83Shadow 1 year ago
@Offended83Shadow The reason on earth I tried 2 years ago after I'd been natural all of a month or two is because I wanted to know if I could and there were no other videos of anyone else doing it, so I did and documented it. I was "natural" probably 5 weeks at the time and had no Idea what to do with my hair so I experimented. Trial and error. I was never told that the rule of wrapping is to style it, more of a way to make it easier to cover at night. This is why it's good people share now
ayamejoy 1 year ago
Respond to this video...also, I would much rather comb my hair to hard once in a while than permanently heat damage my hair. That's why I haven't flat ironed in over a year and probably won't ever again after only trying it 3 times since going "natural". If it makes you feel better, during my trial and error I did learn about combs and now all of mine are seamless and the only brush i use is a denman. I was using the tools and knowledge I had at that time. Don't judge me for that

I'm not mad at you for making a comment or anything else. If I was I would have just deleted it and not responded like I do to most of the racist, foul language, etc comments. I called myself answering your "why on earth" question and giving you my opinion since you gave me yours. If I offended you I apologize
ayamejoy 1 year ago
@Offended83Shadow
She didn't "rake the comb through" violently as you suggest. And no, flat ironing it would NOT be better than just wrapping it. Are you delusional?
Wrapping natural hair STRETCHES IT OUT, making it easier to style it, and as you can see in this video, even get it into a ponytail.
blahblahblahman 11 months ago
if your going to wrap your hair you will need way more setting lotion.. and plus you should washing it first .. also with your type of hair you WILL need heat to get it straight.. use a heat protectant and a ceramic flat iron to get the best results.. blow drying with a ionic dryer and a good paddle brush may give you better results as well
SuperHmmm09 1 year ago
@SuperHmmm09 the point wasn't to get it straight. I know how to heat my hair til it's straight and wrap it. Did for years when I relaxed my hair. Point was to see what I could do with the curly hair since I had no one to teach me but me how to do my natural hair & I got some results that surprised me. I wanted to know if I could so when I tried it I documented it. My channel is basically a vlog of all the random stuff I might feel like looking back on later. Blowdryers and my hair are a no no.

@crusial123 I'm not entirely sure how to take this question. I do know the definition of nappy the word originated in the 1400's and meant downy and got turned into a derogatory term in the 1950's in america. So are you asking me how to make your hair look soft and downy? I don't know what your hair looks like, so I'm not sure what to tell you.

@SweetSincerity It varies what people like to do. I was trying to weigh it down, (that's why I put so much stuff in it) but even that didn't seem to work very well. One of the points of this was seeing if I could do it in general and seeing if I could stretch my hair in a way that didn't involve, braids, twists, or heat. That whole straight bit was just a surprise. I hadn't found any vids where someone wrapped non-relaxed hair and I was trying it anyway so I made a video :)

@majmunko23 Not all Africans came to the USA this year. For the ones who's ancestors were brought back in the 17-1800's that are 300 years removed from being African, but can't go around calling themselves only American because only one ethnic group does that we are stuck in the middle. Africans don't want us calling ourself african and in america we're not plain "americans". it is what it is wether you think it's stupid or not, and that's why some people prefer to be called black.

Africa but that's generations back. I'm not from Africa nor is my mom or father, grandparents, or great grandparent, so I don't say I'm African.
