[TheHotmya]

CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON STYLING BABY HAIRS?

[AlsbeanNaturally]

Ms. V. I live in Buffalo, New York and it gets quite cold here. I need to see more of your protective styles because I too need to protect my hair until March, sometimes April. Can you help a busy mom of 5 out, the simpler the better. Also, I love your playfulness on your videos, It keeps me laughing, but you are very informative

[MsVcharles]

[englishladee]

[Shakira404]

How long is your hair?

[SherineHearts]

I really want to put my hair in a ponytail!! I have my hair in twist so it can grow out, but still!! I never realized the value of the ponytail until after I bced.

[vicehoundelite]

How do you make a ponytail i cant do it my hairs long enough just dont know how to tie the not

[chickun1soup80]

@vicehoundelite lol.. do u know how to tie ur shoes at least?

[vicehoundelite]

@chickun1soup80

[chickun1soup80]

[TheJesusFreakette]

I'm smiling with you. Happy for you.

[Kountrygyrl99]

Girl, you are soooo funny!!! And I love it, you are just a lil ray of sunshine!!

[cherrytwin2]

Your ponytail is sooo cute! How do you get your hair to lay down like that? Do you have to use alot of gel to get that wave? My hair is very curly and I have been natural since the BC June, 2010. My hair is not very short nor is it long enough to do a ponytail. Have you ever heard of Thermasmooth system by Mizina? It is the bomb!

[KeaCurls]

!!!! yay :) i can't wait till my first pony!!!

[babines42]

another great video, as always... :)

[naturelle711]

[sweetnsassi29]

[VictoriousLat]

Yay for the ponytail!

[The411Chica]

Congrats on your ponytail!!!

Question- When you do your two strand twist, at night, how do you make them lay down? I wear my satin bonnet but then the twist just go wild and stick up in all different directions by the morning.

[MsVcharles]

@The411Chica Ive never worn my two strand twist out. I only do them at night to prep for a style. However you can always use bobby pins to lay them in the direction you want them to stay. =D

[QuayTheCanaryDiamond]

Awwwwww Hair-shero Look at your ponytail!!!! Your hair is looking great!!!! I cant wait to get a ponytail!!! Shoot, at this point, I just cant wait to get a a nice full puff lol.

[MsVcharles]

@QuayTheCanaryDiamond LOL...you are too silly sis!

[MsKMayse]

Love the puff!!

[kbalexis]

omg i kno just how you feel. I cant wait for my hair to get long enough again to put in a ponytail...june cant come fast enough (my 1 year anni. of my BC)

[lyricalbarbie1]

i just finished my yarn braids and they are sooooo cute.. they look like dreds...

[bambamsade]

Love the ponytail, it is so nice.

[Classylens]

Hey! lol

[LilStarO11]

Awwwwww LOVELY!!! :)

[tamicof5]

Im surprised you said wear it out which is good advice. I dont know what happen to my confidence. The first time I BC'ed I guess because I wasnt aware or even fazed to it because it was new to me, anyway I messed up my hair and just recently BC'ed for the second time my confidence spirled down not because I dont like it I guess since Im aware of what I did I dont have the heart to wear it out this time around. I have been wearing weave and the end out Jan will be 2 months natural. I dont know.

[miss2umister]

@tamicof5 I know you werent talking to me but hang in there. Hair is meant to be worn out and not saved under weave. The quality of the hair suffers when its not worn out and wearing it out is not what messed it up. So dont feel bad, wear your hair !

[TheNaturalmystery]

Great ponytail. I hope I am able to do that one day :).

[singforevaful]

hey!

[secretsandlies09]

Great looking ponytail. You do know we need you to show us how to do it don't you. LOL. Congrats, Ms. V!

[MzMysty83]

YAY!!!! Lucky you! I had to wait a year and a half BEFORE I could get a decent ponytail goin! LOL

[PinkRozez]

Haha you are so silly. You crack me up!

[Geminellie06]

YAY FOR THE PONYTAIL!!! Hopefully I'll have my by march :-/ Im re-doing my yarn braids too in a week or so :-D

[zheahra]

[wilsons1980]

LOL, Sooooo Cute, Work it DIVA!!!

[LoveChrissiPoo]

u betta work with your ponys

[simra3]

You're lucky. I'm more than 3 year natural(from shaved hair) and I'm not able to do my ponytail.

I know that my hair grows very, very slow, but after more than 3 years.....

[shaunesethenatural]

YAY!!!!!! This is a milestone girl! I've natural for a year now and I dont think my hair could do it yet..... My day will come, right? :( Just kiddin... It's been a hard natural hair week for me. It will happen and we will celebrate together

[andycamoon]

Its Really is so adorable...will be getting to that point pretty soon! excited!

[naturallyfriseschica]

Congrats on the pony tail/puff, it's SO CUTE!!

[killakahl]

sooo happy you got a pony!!!! That is serious progress..

[shaytuck05]

hey question, what do u find to be the ebst products for your hair? it seems like right now i STILL haven't found that GREAT product...how do i even know what GREAT is. I mean the only things that I think are GREAT 4 my hair or my eco styler and kinky curly. as far as shampoo, conditioners and moisturizers, i'm still experimenting. everytime i get paid i go and buy ANOTHER product. i just want one of each GRRRR....pretty ponypuff. can't wait to get there!

[MsVcharles]

@shaytuck05 Hey sis, well that depends on what you think "great" is. Many of us are in search or a miracle product which doesnt exist. The products that I use for my hair are those that work. Its great to search for what works. But when you find something that your hair likes, stick with it and dont try to find that "something better"...your search will be endless. Always try one product at a time and also be sure to try each product for at least 3 to 4 weeks to get a solid conclusion.

[shaytuck05]

@MsVcharles i dnt want 2 b a product whore trust. it's just that i haven't found anything that I think is making my hair great. I'm not "wow'd" by any products other than the 2 mentioned in my last post. However, last night I put in this cantu shea butter leave in conditioner overnight (i remember u saying shea butter doesn't work for your hair) but this morning I was really impressed. For once my hair feels conditoned. And H20 is the 1st product so I'm happy. Now to find a shampoo & conditioner

[MsVcharles]

@shaytuck05 Im actually in the process of making vids about this topic. =D

[ibifere21]

congrats chicka!!!! thats beautiful!

[MrsHairToday]

Its cute!!! I do have a question tho.. when you do your finger coils how do you manage them. the only way i can keep them is to take a sprayer and re wet them, shaking most of the water out and cool dry/air dry. Do you have a video out on that already?

[starrnatural]

toooo Cute! Look at those waves girl!  I was going through the braid challenge with you and I am removing my braids this weekend. I just want to touch my hair again. Buns are a protective style! Thats what I am gonna wear when I remove my braids.

[mgillespie12]

Really cute style! A ponytail isn't considered a protective style if you ends are tucked? Or is it only protective if its completey covered (like with the yarn braids)?

[queeny107]

How!!!!!!!

[blueottlisa]

Your hair is blossoming so lovely!!!! You make natural look good my friend lol.

[Originalbrownsugar]

Hey girl ! I just love watching you and your cousins LOVE your sense of humor !! Not to mention your wonderful hair, you've inspired a lot of my natural hairstyles !! Go girl, keep doing your thang ! <3

[Nkemburk]

Hey... the puff is cute...

[misdemeanorwerunthis]

Awwww you look so cute! I am so going to try this now. My hair is the same length as yours but I have been too scared to try a ponytail for fear of disappointment :)

[7389sd]

question--------> do u have a video of trimming ends?...i dunno what the best method is to trim natural hair (split ends)... thanks for everything!

[louloumatou]

yaaaaaaayyyyy!! congrats!! i like the pompadour!

[fia12]

sooo cute...i can't wait till by hair gets to ponytail length

[joyabbott]

why dont you use the new found style, it sure is protective and cute!

[YokotaBound88]

Congrats on your ponytail!! What a milestone! :D

[goldensexymama]

Cute and so neat. You've got to do a tutorial on this....PLEASE! I know it's pretty easy, but for the life of me I can't do this LOL..I think my length is about the same as yours but I just have not been able to accomplish this style yet. I can do a puff, but I want a bun like yours. Anyway, your bun is a protective style. Are your ends protected? If so, you're still protective styling!!! Thanks for all you do:)

[Kinkycurlycoil]

That is super cute!

[missthis897]

Rock the Bun VEE!!! Thats hot girl! Congrats to you!

[Lexy4553]

@MsVcharles Not that I've seen, I'm a subbie of hers and a new video hasn't come through on my end. She may be still settling into the New Year too.

[MsVcharles]

@Mzsweetsmile83 Yea, plus she is in her graduates program right now so school takes up a LOT of time. =)

I hope to hear from her soon...even to just say "hi"...lol

[noosefact]

I cant wait for my first pony tail.

[mrsjade84]

Hey MsVCharles. I love that you now have a pony tail. It is cute. I cant wait until my hair reaches that point and beyond. For me I have natural/transitioning since June 2010 and I am loving it. I need to get my edges trimmed but besides that everything is going well. Anyway I love your videos keep it coming.

[MsVcharles]

@mrsjade84 OMG..thank you so much. Yea, I was totally stoked about it. The funny thing is I wasnt even thinking about wearing ponytails...it was just a "Im late for work...what to do thing" and it ended up being a natural hair mile stone...lol. I say this because it goes to show how fast time flies. Before you know it sis your ponytail will be much longer than mine. Just you watch and see. =D

[beelieve14]

[MzJeter28]
