[ashleighmccall]

You should literally host a hair care demo where we bring our daughters and practice! Thanks so much =)

[nikjohn77]

Lol, I have that same dress!!!

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@nikjohn77 Ha! You have GREAT taste. LOL x

[Thelev3ltnx]

I will definitely go back to these styles :). There are so pretty and easy. I'll learn how to do them on my own hair.

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Thelev3ltnx Great! They are great protective styles.

[Shari4ever]

I love your videos!!

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Shari4ever Thank you! :)

[joanolisa1]

I remember as a little girl back in Africa, I had this style 90 percent of the time, and my hair grew sooooo long!

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@joanolisa1 Yes!! My sisters and I did too and we all grew long hair. :)

[Onajagirl]

HI GIRL, DID U USE INDIVIDUAL THREAD FOR EACH BRAID???

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Onajagirl Hi! Yes, each braid has its own thread. :)

[sandnsea212]

Love it. What do you do with the stretched hair? Do you have any suggestions for protective styles with stretched hair?

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@sandnsea212 Thank you! :) I just replied your last comment. I usually use stretched hair to showcase unprotected styles (ends out) or just to make it easier to flat twist or corn row. There can't think of any protective styles I do that require stretched hair. Some styles will have a different look to them when the hair is stretched. It will usually make hair look a little longer. I will defiantly make videos on those styles too. :)

[missk1992]

this brought back memories of wen my mum used to do my hair like this :)

[MrsMozzie123]

Can you do these ghana braids and just leave them on their own (much as you would twists or box braids)? do they work with beads and clips at the end too ? just wondering! My daughter is just over two and I love how "simple" this looks and I seem to be able to do it on her cabbage patch with some degree of success so Im looking forward to trying on her hair. Its much shorter than your girls hair though so it will probably just have to "hang there" with the help of beads and clips!

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@MrsMozzie123 It's funny you should ask that. I just discovered that the answer is yes and no. Yes, you can just knot them and leave the ends, but you have to make sure the braids are a certain thickness or they will just coil up around themselves. I just tried using thinner braids than usual, on my daughter and they got messy very quickly. For this reason I'm sticking to thicker braids. I put beads on the end too, which helps to stop them unraveling. I have a vid on that coming up :).

[butternaturale26]

@MrsMozzie123 You can do the ghana braids and leave them in without them unravelling. It all depends on how much thread goes around the hair and the knot at the end. I am ghanaian and I plait my hair and leave it in for about a week without unravelling easily. I also stretch my hair using this method. Hope this helps.

[PalaisCristalLLC]

I love your hair do it is sooo cute

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@PalaisCristalLLC Thank you hun! x

[missboykin8]

@GirlsLoveYourCurls this hairstyle is very nice on your daughter hair..but i also like your hair style..can u do a video on how u did ur hairstyle please?

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@missboykin8 Thank you! There are sooo many natural hair channels for adults, so I made the decision not to do my own. There is a PRETTYDIMPLES01 tutorial where she uses EXACTLY the same technique I do! But I use Giovanni Direct 10 leave in conditioner and my shea butter mix to seal. It's a great tutorial. she put it up 2 weeks ago (30th Jan). It's entitled "hair with volume. (request)". Please check it out! I will probably show how I do the technique on my girls too. :) x

[diane172518]

Can this be done on shorter hair? Or is this style, not good for a 2 year old?

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@diane172518 Yes, it can be done on shorter hair, if it's long enough to gather into buns, without pulling on the scalp. They might be smaller buns, but it can be done. There are other styles you can do, using African threading, if the hair is too short, for this style. I will be demonstrating these in future demos.

[CherishMyDaughter]

I am going to try this! I just need some weave thread.

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@CherishMyDaughter Brilliant! It would look so lovely on your daughters hair!!! Let me know how it goes. x

[morgank98]

What do you use in your shea butter mixture?

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@morgank98 Hi! I have a couple of versions depending on what I'm using it for. Both have shea butter and coconut oil as the main ingredients, A lot of people have asked me so I want to make a video showing how I make it.. I have another protective style video coming up next, so it will be the one after that. Thanks for watching!

[0110tasha]

thank you so much how can i protect my baby hair with her hair being short she 2 years old and her hair is short in the backand the sides

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@0110tasha When my girls were babies, I would leave their hair out and keep it moisturized. I'd wash it every time they had a bath then apply lots of olive oil. To style I'd comb it out & decorate with bows and clips. When their hair grew to a couple of inches I started to braid it. I would section it into about 12 sections and do small Ghana plats. I’d fold each braid so the tip of the plat touched the root of the forming a loop. Then I'd use thread or hair tie to secure. Hope this helped.

[Longhairstile]

Will regular thread due because I notice you will say weave thread and there is a difference with yarn braids having acrylic yarn so the dye from regular yarn doesn't get in the hair. That was very helpful to see the how to take them down. Thank you :)

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Longhairstile Hi! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. I use weave thread because it's so much stronger than regular thread and will hold the style intact for longer. I've never actually used yarn, but it seems quite thick and may soak up some of the moisture? I would probably rub some type of oil over it first to help counter that. Some people rub oil over regular thread too, but I've not found it necessary. Hope this helped! Thanks for watching :)

[Longhairstile]

@GirlsLoveYourCurls hhmmm well I don't need that problem for my children so I think I'll just keep the yarn stored up for now. When I went to the fabric store I asked the one of the ladies if she had heard of weave thread but she didn't. She did ask me what it was made of but I didn't really know. Is there any place I can get it like walmart or does it have another name too? I really want to try these styles but doing it the right way.

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Longhairstile :) I understand. You can get weave thread from any beauty supply store. I think Sally’s sell it and maybe Ulta? Basically anywhere where they sell hair extensions and weaves should carry some. They usually keep it behind the counter, so be sure to ask. :)

[cosmic130]

i love your vids!

and i love love your skits!

great work.

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@cosmic130 Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. :)

[kenbrid]

Thank you..that was what i was looking for....

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid Great! Glad it helped. :)

[HairAndHealing]

Your daughters are so beautiful!

I have been recommending your vids to friends of mine who have kids! Love your channel.x

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@HairAndHealing Ahh, thank you! I really appreciate your support! :)

[kenbrid]

Thanks for the answer, but i would also like to know how you mixed it???

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid I just put the ingredients together and mixed them with a hand held mixer.

[superslyfoxx1]

Your videos are amazing! Thanks so much for showing us these techniques. This is something that is truly a gift to those of us who admire African techniques that we never learned or experienced before. Your daughter is so pretty and you are gorgeous. Thanks again for sharing with us.

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@superslyfoxx1 Thank you so much! Natural hair can be overwhelming if you don't know what to do with it. It's a blessing to share what I've learned and to learn from others too! :)

[kenbrid]

By the way with what and how do u mix ur shea butter ???

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid Honestly, I change it depending on what I think their hair needs. The basic mix is always Shea butter coconut oil and jojoba oil. In cooler months I add heavier oils like olive oil or castor oil. If their hair needs moisture I'll put some of the Shea mix in a small container and add Aloe Vera juice to it. I only make small amounts, as needed, because when you add liquid to Shea butter (without a preservative) it spoils. So I mix a small amount of this and keep it in the fridge.

[kenbrid]

Thanks a lot for this one too....its so awesome u take ur time to do all this for sharing, u r super mama. By the way last saterday i did this style (african threaded bantu buns) for my friends kids and it was so cute, luv them..cant wait to do the same thing with my daughter's hair coming sunday after i take her braids out..well..i have decided to this threading a lot! Thanks a million ones again!

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid No problem! I love that the vids actually help other mums. I love that you tried the style out and it worked well for you. You'll really see a difference in the hair when you take it down. Thanks for watching! :)

[glamazini]

I bought thread to try this type of style YEARS ago and never did it. I wonder where that thread is, hmmmm....

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@glamazini Find it and try it! You'll be glad you did. :)

[cyinergist]

How did you end up styling her hair?

[GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@cyinergist I wanted to show that actually, but we were running late. When I went to take the puffs down, my daughter said she loved them, so I just brushed and fluffed them out to neaten. :)
