  • thank goodness you so much for making  this video

  • I really like your video! Hair looks Great! Thank You!

  • YOU SHOULD DEF. TRY JAMAICAN MANGO AND LIME PRODUCTS!

    I HAVE HAD NATURAL HAIR MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAVE ENJOYED THE PRODUCT,

    AND I KNOW YOU WILL TOO!!!

    p.s. your hair is gorgeous!!!

  • Hey, love your videos!

    Just wondering how you mixed the shea butter and oils together? 

  • Your hair looks great....My hair is about the same length so I will be checking your videos out to find hairstyles...lol....check out my vids and sub....maybe we can bounce some ideas off each other and make this journey together.

  • this look great on you, i tried this look today and im unsure about it so far.

  • Pretty

  • you are to funny! you made my day

  • I am so glad you did this. I think the style you have (twist out) is the style I have been looking for. You also have the same texture hair as mine. Thanks; my hair is short too. I just cut out all of the perm last week and I have some substantial growth.

  • Beautiful! beautiful! beautiful! U're right, there's not nearly as much out there for us shorter hair naturals, so thanx for the vid. Also, thanx for the new term, chopaversary. It gives clarity as to the time line for naturalversaries! I hope it picks up.

  • I just hit my sixth month mark with my hair I cut it down to less than an inch and have been struggling to find something to do with it, thanks for the tips!

  • I too love your videos please can you make more...please..pretty please please...please

  • I love your videos and Congratulations on your 6 month anniversary.  I, too, use shea butter, coconut oil, tree oil, jojoba oil and almond oil on my hair it works beautifully.

  • I hope you were discharged on time? you should do a picture video of al the ways you have been wearing your hair....flowers, headbands, scarves etc!!! Its funny I did my big chop on a whim after transitioning for 1 month LOL

  • i have short hair also.................and you are the 1st short twist out vid i have seen

  • Thanks for the vid. i love it i will continue to follow ur page-ur an inspiration.

  • The end result is very pretty.. Congrets on your departure from the Military. My husband Retired in June. He's loving it.

  • Sorry not trying to sound like a know it all. Your hair looks very healthy and you have really good growth.

  • Your hair might produce enough oils where any extra oil might make your hair to greases. So, you might check the products that you buy ingedient list and check for lite oils or the non heavy formula's. Or just stick with what is working for you -shea butter . Anyway your hair is

  • growingnaptural

    Luv your hair!

  • PLEASE don't throw the Qhemets away, I'll buy it all!!! Paypal...

  • Hi...I'm sorry! They're gone already! I didn't like them at all. They were only trial sizes so they wouldn't have been worth it anyway.  Wish I'd read this sooner. I would have just given them away!

  • Looking great. You're hair is growing like crazy. Have you had any trims since your big chop? I've had 2 and I think that's put me behind on where I should be at as far as growth b/c stylist love chopping your hair off sometimes!

  • I've trimmed my ends only once about 2 months ago (4 months after my b/c). I did it myself because I'm afraid of stylists and their scissor-happy hands! :-) I'll probably do another trim if my hair starts getting too frizzy.

    I used a method learned on YouTube. As you're putting twists in your hair, just trim the ends as you come to them. Worked well for me!

  • Love it!!

  • Thanks. :)

  • Your hair looks great, and is growing like crazy.... Last weekend was my 25 YR reunion! WHEW, I'm old. I didn't go cause I didn't like most of the people I went to school with anyway... lol. No really, I was not one of the popular ones... I just went to school. Congrats on your 6month nappiversary AND on getting out of the military!

  • Thank you. I'm not really sure about my reunion either. I didn't really like too many of my classmates either. If I go it'll only be to show off my hair. ;-)

  • @n2xrcise I graduated high school in 1980. As soon as I got home after graduation, I threw away my phone book. (LOL).

  • work that twist girl it looks really cute on you. And the length is amazing in such a short period of time you really look great and you never looked like a boy you looked fabulous.

  • Thanks! I'm surprised at how much it's grown. It never grew this fast with a relaxer!

  • Very pretty! Your hair is growing like a weed!

    I wasn't a fan of Qhemet either. It was entirely too greasy and heavy. I'll stick with my shea butter mixture!

    Oh, I almost forgot, congrats on your upcoming "chop-iversary" and your last trek with the military! :-)

  • Thanks! After looking at photos the other day I realize it has grown quite a bit.

    As for Qhemet, by then end of the day I realized I'll never use it again. Hated it. I guess that's what I get for straying from my belove shea butter! :)

  • Thank you for still making videos. I did my big chop in August and I went through that whole "I look like a boy" phase. It's nice to see videos about shorter hair and Proof that hair GROWS and i shouldn't worry.

  • Wow...thanks! And no...you shouldn't worry! Naturahl hair DEFINITELY grows! I've had more growth in these 6 months than I ever had in 6 months with a relaxer. My "boy" days are over. ;-)

  • I just loaded a video of my twist out tonight. I wish it only took me an hour to twist mine. I can't tell, but I think mine may be a tad bit longer than yours, but not by much.

  • Yep...it looks like your hair is a bit longer than mine. That one hour thing was a fluke! I haven't been able to do it in an hour since that one lucky day. :) Well, actually, I can do it in an hour but only after a day or so after the wet twist. Dry twists are quicker. Ah...hair. :)

  • Thank you so much for this video. I have shorter natural hair and have been thinking about doing a twist out but was hesitant because I wasn't sure how it would come out. Now I have an idea of what it will look like. Your hair looks GREAT:)

  • Thanks! I'm glad I could help. :) I think it's important we all document our journeys so that others who started after we did can see and hear what it's like. Trust me, I'm still always looking at natural sisters' videos!

  • girl u put me on to apple cider vinegar n i ssoo love it! but yeah i love ur hair!

    the photos were so gorgeous!

  • Cool! Glad it worked for you. ACV is amazing! And of course, I'm all for anything natural. :)

  • your hair looks GORGEOUS!!! wow.

  • Thanks! I'm loooooving my hair natural...even if it does take 100 hours to twist it. :)

  • Ur hair is looking really good girlie. I wasn't a fan of Qhemet either..I was so disappointed =(

    Thx for doing this video! I've been wanting to do a twist out on my twa...but the back of my hair isn't quite long enough..or so I think..lol.

    xoxoprettysunshynexoxo

  • Yeah, I feel the same way. The back of my hair is much shorter. So, I'm going to wait for my hair to get a little longer.

  • I felt like you and Prettysunshyne too, but I did a twist out yesterday and think it came out pretty well even though I couldn't really twist all of the back. I kinda flat twisted the shortest part and it came out pretty good. Give it a try.

  • You're welcome! I was doing twist outs on my hair a few months ago. They were tiny (TINY!!) but I tried it anyway. I think they turned out okay back then.

    As for Qhemet...it's official. I don't like it. It made my hair feel dry and heavy. Guess I'll be sticking with my tried and true shea butter!

  • Same here! Shea butter is the best!! For me anyway =)

  • Cute.

  • Thanks so much! It's so much healthier now than it ever was relaxed. :)

  • Looks very good! Your hair looks thick and healthy! Keep the videos coming! :)
