  • awww your prettyy! and i love your hair! :)

  • Thank you! I am going to try this over the weekend. I have been getting so frustrated with my hair. Thanks again!!

  • There seems to be a hint of mixture to your hair. It doesnt seem totally kinky

  • honestly i can never ever ever get bored with your videos. You're always interesting and your style is always on point. Rock on Kimmay!

  • How does water help retain moisture? I have 4c hair so I don't get it. It's still a very helpful video

  • You make me proud to be black :) I mean, I'm already proud haha. But ya know, you're really inspirational!

  • Very detailed in your presentations...luv your hair.

  • Your protective style are so simple to achieve..thanks

  • You make me want to go natural. 

  • hey u know protective styling could putting your hair in weave and braids be one?

  • Your hair is so beautiful and healthy. You are an inspiration

  • I know you probably don't have time to answer so I will open this up for everyone, now is ok that after I wash my hair I blow dry it? I wear latch hook styles so I keep my french braided....I really l like my hair to be dry when I french braid my hair for my latch hooks...I like my weaves but I try to keep them as "afrocentric" as possible...lol and thanks for the videos....simply wonderful

  • this is exactly how my hair looks in twist, i don't know why i don't leave my hair out.... you've really inspired me.

    Thankyou very much

  • i was wondering.. is a braid out a protective styling too or is it un healthy?

  • Very lovely & elegant!

  • wow, you look lovely, secure, and confident...I can tell that u just love your hair!! awesome video

  • Do you have any suggestions for protective styling for short hair. It is currently winter, and would love any suggestions. Thank you!

  • @capitolnativemd I'm looking for the same.

  • my hair is finally long enough to achieve this style! lol! Have the 5" banana clips been restocked yet? i know the restocking date was 11/24 but I'm about to make a purchase so i wanted to make sure.

  • beautiful!! I love it Im natural as well this has really helped

  • thanks, i wear a ponytail all the time cus im trying to grow my hair out but i still want to keep it cute you know..hahaha

  • thank you for all your awesome vdo's

  • This is a really elegant hairstyle that can be worn on any occasion.

  • i just started watching your videos just yesterday and i'm unsure of whether you posted this or not, but how do you moisturize your hair regularly? do you moisturize everyday? if so, with what? is it the leave in conditioner? thanks!

  • ugh, that is so cute!

  • when you put your hair in this style....at night do you put a scraf over it and sleep....or do you take out the bobby pens and claps.......then put on your scaf......if you leave it pin up .....for how many days...

  • Very professional voice. Sound like the lady in the design essential video. Your style is beautiful.

  • um by using ur hair videos and ur hair advice my hair is hip legnth and i am african american. soo thxzz u. i loove u and u mae my day so wonderful i feel more confident then ever

  • I see the vegetable glycerin is for the summer, I am curious about your winter regimen.

  • Hi Kimmay, I love your viedos they are very relaxing and informative. I made your Kimmay leave in conditioner, and I use it on my hair after I wash it, and I also wet my hair every night, and put it on my hair. I'm sorry if I don't understand, but ..... is it ok to use the kimmay leave in conditioner on my hair every day, or just when I wash it on clean hair...thank you for your input, and your lovely videos!! :)

  • woow this entire video is so relaxing, i love your hair so much, especially the headbands :)

    nice music choice too!

  • What do you use to hold the twist? Is ors twist and lock gel good or no? I'm currently transitioning so i still have relaxed hair. My twist don't look as good, any tips for me? I also have thinning edges and bald spots (that are getting better) but i need something to kinda boost the growth there. Thanks in advance! Also I really love your videos, they are very informing and educational.

  • When my hair gets long enough to tuck into a bun, I'm going to wear this style EVERY DAY lol

  • Very nice! I never thought to use a banana clip in my twists like that, but I will be looking for some good ones now. Very elegant, very professional... thank you for doing this!

  • Good day Kimmay. I am thankful for your experiences that you have shared with us youtubers. I am wondering if you do anything differently during the winter months to protect your hair. I work and live in the DC area. This will be my second winter season natural (first with my hair not in extensions). Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Beautiful hairstyle and accessories.

  • You are my favorite natural. Your voice is so soothing and encouraging. I plan on transitioning and remaining a natural.

  • Thank you Kimmay for your amazing vids. I am just starting (literally 5 wks from last relaxer) to transition and I am enjoying learning so much from you and the books I am reading. Please keep up the good work and know that you are empowering us by sharing your knowledge, expertise, and experience thus far.

  • Love your professionalism!  Great job!

  • ur hair is beautiful and i love thast commercial vocie lol

  • Hi Kimmay I like to use Olive Oil spray sheen over my hair..Plus I have to use Jam's shining gel because my hair is very thick and I use it along with my shea butter creme. The shining gel helps keep the twists together at the end and make them tighter ( I like them tighter :-) ) Do you think that's adding to much product to my hair?

  • CUTE! What protective sytles can you wear when your hair is about 9-11 inches long?

  • I want to do protective styles, but I have VERY fine hair. Most of the protective styles I have tried: braidout, twist, coils etc never seem to turn out right. They tend to look awful when finished. I am at a loss as to what I should do? I want to do protective styles to help retain my length and aid in the growing process, but they just look awful when done. If you have any suggestions for me, that would be greatly appreciated.

  • Kimmaytube:

    How long can I keep this style in for?

  • Love ur vidz

  • i love your voice on here lol

  • You know another way to twist your hair so that it stays neater is by plaiting the roots then twisting it. This way it does not mess up as fast. That's how I do mines. It's really helpful.

  • Hi my name is shan and i wanted to know how do you warp you your at night? and is there and special way to do it, and should i put a lotion in it ?

  • oh WOW, you're gorgeous! I'm glad I found you! I just started wearing my hair out outside of weaves so I'm glad to find so much information about it from women like you!

  • how long have you been natural? How often do you trim your ends?

    Do you work in the corporate world?

  • let me just say that you fill a noticeable void in the natural hair phenomena sweeping our time: that of afro-textured (or 4abc hair). By respecting the nature and sensitivity of our texture, you have achieved aspiring lengths without the health of your hair paying the price. i watch your videos mostly for the encouragement that patience, research, and quality care does go a long way!

  • your hair is so long! i'm jealous.. :)

  • I love that you have not dyed your hair. I am 30 years old and I have a little gray at the front of my hair and I get so much slack for it but now that I've seen you, I will learn to embrace my gray. Thanks Kim!

  • Kim, I credit this protective style and your tips with allowing me to “retain my hair growth” to a little bit beyond bra strap length from a little below shoulder length in less than five months. I have been natural for almost four years and now I'm seeing more growth with your techniques than I did in the 3 years prior. Thank you so much for your hard work! You are making a large contribution to a natural -revolution! :-)

  • I am new to your channel and i am already hooked...i have been searching and i think that my search has ended......your videos are just awesome!!!! i only started a week ago and my hair is loving your techniques...FROM THE HEART THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!!!

  • I love your videos! it's like watching a mini, professional documentary about hair care. It's inspirational, informative and scientific. Thanks.

  • Can this style work on short (chin length) hair

  • @Itismeokhaha thats what i was wondering too because thats where most of my hair is!

  • Hi Kimmaytube...I love all you advice you are so informative. I notice on my hair, like your that fuzzieness at the crown of your hairm especially with the hair in a braid or twist style. Is that normal? I was thinking that frizz may be damaged hair and wondered if there was a way to tame?

  • @Bobbi705 I believe it's just natural loosening and new growth :)

  • @Bobbi705 btw she doesn't use commercial gels (Jam, eco, etc)

  • i <3 ur voice! I feel like I'm listening to a bedtime story

  • you could do voice overwork! LOL

  • nice!!

  • ur a very pretty lady. thanks for the tutorital. I like the last set of bands that you used on your hair. will look out for something like them when I go shopping.

  • Thank you so much Kimmay for breaking down exactly how to moisturize!:D This was 1 of my biggest questions because I always saw ambiguity, some just used oil on dry hair or lotions on dry hair. I did the dry oil thing but noticed it wasn't "moisturized" as I know it should be. This makes perfect sense and I do it and it works!

  • you sound so professional!! lol i love it

  • Dont you have to be careful with hard water from the faucet? When I was living in Texas the water was hard you could see the white residue from my black frig where I had the water and Ice area. I was told that the water was hard when I lived overseas. Won't hard water take your hair out, will it dry your hair out?

  • Thank you for showing your moisturizing and sealing before styling! many youtubers do not show that part! Very helpful!

  • Your videos are wonderful! I just received the two-tone elastics. How cute and feminine. More protective styles and flowers for the hair, please. Thanks!

  • Nice length!!!! I can see the difference for sure. Kim, how long does it usually take you to finish editing a video, not including the time it takes to record it.

  • What are some good protective styles for women with shorter hair that will not reach a ponytail/ banana clip?

  • I feel so inspired. I've watched about 5 of your videos today. I did the big chop in May '06. I have length and I usually just wear it curly (wash and go, in a ponytail).

    So, I haven't been huge on product (gel and a olive oil grease), but my hair is dry. I am so inspired though to try to make sure its healthy. I didnt know that hair should be washed in sections- its been so hard to wash at once.

  • i have been doing water and glycerin daily for moisturizer sealing with oil... thanks for the advice... also with the protective braid style

  • lol at your commercial voice. i love it, u would def fit in as a commercial vocalist (lol idk what to call them).

    the hairstyle is cute , your hair has really grown since last year! keep it up and keep the videos coming :D

  • Your voice is sooooo soothing... :)

  • Love it! Thanks you the tutorial.

  • pls share more protective styles...thanks

  • very pretty!!

  • ur beautiful : )

  • I just did this style today and it looks great! I usually shy away from protective styles because they never look good on me, but I think this one is a winner!

  • I still love this style! I've been wearing it now for the last two months, and I really see a lot of growth! Thanks

  • This video is wonderful! I love this protective style...so simple, yet so effective! I usually wear my hair in two-strand twists but don't do much with them. I had a question...after you moisturize your hair with water, what kind of leave-in do you use? How often do you moisturize your hair, btw?

  • @JonelleElise I keep tryin to figure out what her leave in is but i not gettin it

  • @luciansteph She posted it on the FAQ video.

  • Great protective styling!

  • how do you twist your hair my twist never stay :(

  • I really like this video and the style, but I'm wondering what you can do when your twists aren't long enough to make a ponytail that you can pin under? Its kind of like a catch 22. I'm waiting for my hair to get long enough to do this style, but I need to retain length to get there!

  • QUESTION PLEASE:

    I exercise everyday and my hair gets wet. I have ear-length hair and I wear twists as a protective style. Do you think I should rinse my hair every other day to free it from the sweat/salt from sweat and apply a leave-in conditioner or moisturizer? : )

    A favorited this video by the way!!!

  • @rinserbear I mean RINSE MY TWISTS

  • Kimmay, you definately know what you are doing, but why not gently blot your damp hair with a heavy gauge T shirt? They are absorbent and much kinder to the hair.

    Keep those informative vids coming!

  • thumbs up kimmay!!!!

  • love it!

  • Your voice is just too adorable!  Thanks for the video your hair style is beautiful

  • love the commercial voice!!!

  • Kim, thanks for this video! This is the ONLY resource I've found so far on what to do AFTER you install twists. Can you tell me what is in your homemade leave-in conditioner? I'm trying to find something that won't gunk up my hair but will be a great sealant. How often do you spritz with water & seal when you have twists in? TIA!!

  • Kim, thanks for this video! This is the ONLY resource I've found so far on what to do AFTER you install twists. Can you tell me what is in your homemade leave-in conditioner?

  • is it ok to spary water on your hair everyday? im one year and two months natural. i waer my hair in twist all the time. what more should i be doing to retain length?

  • I LOVE this! I actaully just tried this yesterday and it came out great. A perfect style for when I wash my hair and my twists aren't dry enough to wear in a twistout yet!

  • I'm not natural but I love twisting my hair like this to give that wave look! Love the video!

  • Please check out our show. Its called What up with that. Comment and let us know what you think so we can make future episodes better. Our user name is MicaAlicia8889. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank You :)

  • do you wet your hair everyday?

  • will you be doing anymore videos on protective styles? Also, do you consider it damaging to hair growth the permanately color your hair?

  • hey you have gray hair like me lol! I'm only 29

  • Gorgeous! Loves it, darling!! I wear twists all the time, and this looks so polished and professional, thank you for sharing!

  • I watch your videos two, three and sometimes four times and rate each time because its incredibly evident how much work and effort goes into making them. I've followed your hair care regimens and am bosting lots of length and health. Thanks for sharing with us!

  • very beautiful!!!!

  • Your voice is so calm and relaxing and your hair is AWESOME!

  • kimmay - love the ouchless clips i bought..always down to support a sista..keep doing your thang

  • great Voice!

  • You should do voiceovers!

  • That's why my hair is so dry. I've been using Vegetable Glycerin. Just conditioner will do for the winter months correct?

  • Did you use your water and conditioner mix every morning? BTW I was able to achieve this style and everyone loved it at work!

  • Hi Kimmay!!!

    I have a question I have definitely heard how many times you have stressed the use of protective styles to retain length. I am taking your advice and trying to keep my hair protected. However my hair is about chin length and I have been putting it in two strand twists with my own hair weekly. Is that still a protective style even though I am not able to tuck my ends in?

    Thanks so much!

  • I notice that you are using just plain water in this video. Is there any reason that you are not using the water with vegetable glycerine? Love your videos so informative. You are my natural hair Idol.

  • @chatchickchat

    Vegetable Glycerin works well in the summer when the air is humid, but I don't use it in the colder winter months. It has a reputation of potentially drying out the hair

    when the air is less humid.

  • @kimmaytube thanks for the quick reply. I reside in Southern Cal, so I guess I am fine to keep on using VG on my hair? Thanks again.

  • @kimmaytube so, vegetable glycerin isn't good if you live in colder countries then? Because I live in England

  • do you know when the banana clips will be in stock?

  • @hopeday1

    There are currently two 5" banana clips in stock right now. I won't have more of either size until my next shipment arrives within the next 10-14 days.

  • I really love this video on protective styles!! I'm gonna try this one :-D Can't wait for the other protective styles vids and to buy accessories from your website :-D

  • The Goody ouchless clip, is that the large one or the smaller ones?

  • I'm using the larger one in this vid.

  • Love your commercial voice! ;-) Thanks for sharing!

  • You're welcome, NicholJoharie!

  • I LOVE YOUR VIDS!! I only have nine inches right now. Cant wait until my hair grows so that I can rock this style!! Love it!!

  • lol i tried to put on a cheap banana clip one day! it broke before I had a chance to clip it on! wow!

  • Lovely hairstyle. I have to get a banana clip in order to do this style.

  • Girl, you got it goin on!

  • Luvs it!

  • I love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your great styling tips! You have no idea how much you've helped me on my natural journey! God bless you and keep up the great work!!!

  • OMG!!! i use the banana clips alot i use to get them from a big store all the time they stop carrying:( but i am so happy u have them now i was so excited i order 2 packs of both of them and more love the site!

  • Love the do! I will try this!!!

  • Great protective style. I'm having trouble finding a good protective style for my still fairly short hair.

  • I can't get those goody hair pins to hold my hair. The pins get pent out of shape or just don't hold. Any suggestions/tips?

  • You go girl!!!! Love what you do!!

  • Your logo is what's up!

  • this would be a great hairstyle to wear for an interview. very nice.

  • OMG I just love your videos, so professional, just love them

  • Great! It's so layed-back but still professional enough. I love it. I love ALL of your work. That's exactly what it is because you put so much time and all the effort that goes into your videos.

  • I can't wait for my hair to get thicker so I can do bigger twists.

    I love the style!

  • OMG.... I love your new website...also, my friend is one of your models...keep up the good work and THANKS

  • Wow! I have to say, at first I didn't expect it to come out nice with the older twist and all, but once you finished accessorizing it, it came out very neat and professional looking.

    Great job!
