Bring out your curl! (1/2)

[dancenijas]

[t4luv]

You have beautiful skin and hair, can i ask what skin product you use, thanks.

[OtAkUxcHaN]

your teeth are soo white!!

[DOPEHEADCHiCK]

[adelwifey]

damnn babe ur shrinkage is horrible but yea you should detangle wayy more often and section it and braid

[kitkatchoco2001]

your curls are gorgeous and your hair is very healthy and long. Well done. xxxx

[iJam24]

i cant do that to my hair it would fall out i guess this is not for everyone =|

[KimLeeX]

Will this work for B and C hair types?? Cause my hair is extremely thick and curly after a wash.

[1angel2heart]

you have such beautiful, amazing, healthy hair =) Thanks for being such a wonderful inspiration!

[beautifulplaya]

too bad hair has no curl its just one big nappy mess

[Monarchland]

Too bad you have nothing better to do with your time.

[xoxQuickSliverxox]

LOL

Her hair is BEAUTIFUL! No Curls? Wow you must be blind. *sniff* I smell some one who's jealous...

[beautifulplaya]

WILL Y"ALL STOP REPLYING ON THIS if yah could read i was talking bout MY HAIR NOT her's it's pretty obvious her hair HAS curl otherwise she wouldn't be doing the video

[tryingtodoitnatural]

LOVE your videos!!! Can you please tell me where to buy the shea butter that you use? I have heard that some unrefined is not good and I do not want to buy from a bad company. So I am looking for advice please. Also, I cannot find a denman brush anywhere! Where did you buy yours from. Thanks so much and love you videos as usual!! God bless!

[RusticBeauty]

(tryingtodoitnatural)I get my shea butter from butters-n-bars dotcom, and my denman brush from sally's.

[tryingtodoitnatural]

thank you so much for the reply. I just ordered shea butter from another site (another user used it and I checked the site out first too) Also, thanks because I never thought of Sally's for a denman brush-makes total sense! I try not to shop at the beauty supply stores in our neighborhoods. God bless!

[cbattle110]

What is your hair type?

[rfedd23]

How long did it take for your to get that long

[RusticBeauty]

(rfedd23) My last hair relaxer was May 2003

[Kandapandag]

Thank you for this video! I don't know how I missed it before. Your hair type is almost if not exactly like mine so your videos are so helpful. I am waiting patiently to get some length like yours though (I have been natural for 1 1/2 years)

[missyb2]

i tried this method and it worked well for me..thanks so much

[goldadevine]

where do you get those little spray bottles?

[RusticBeauty]

(goldadevine)At walmart, where you get the travel size items like soap,deodorant,toothpaste...

[babyluv24]

too messy and too much work. but love ur hair!

[browneyzs901]

I keep hearing all the rave about the Denman brush. I've been wanting to try it soon. I can get curlies by passing my fingers through my wet hair with the Ic gel but I can only imagine them with a denman.

[RusticBeauty]

(browneyzs901)Well keep your receipt if you get it, some people hate the denman brush.

[qafrocks97]

im doing that with my corners

[500week4life]

Have shea in fridge, ordered a large amount of raw shea today from butters-n-bars, bought ic olive gel yesterday. I love your clear, clean, articulate demos...keep up the good work, more videos, more videos..lol.lol.

[TwilightInnocence]

so smaaall curlss

cute

XD

[napzfaya]

I have 4b hair will this also work on me

[BrownFaceTV]

I believe her hair is 4b. I did a trial and error of this with just gel and water and it came out the same as her dry side. I am a 4Z...lol,lol.

[SexyDrBitch]

I love my denman brush!! is the business!! pretty curls!!

[ELJones00]

Did you say that was the denim brush? Where would I purchase one?

Thank You

[lyndaespratley]

you would love kinky curly curling custard, one jar, just use your hands and let it dry

[mochalatte233]

I was thinking of getting that. Is it a highly recommended product? And how much would it cost?

[SxExYKiSsEs08]

you have forever long hair for a natural look...

[imgloomybearscupcake]

i think you did it wrong or backward cause all the other women get i wet

and leave in conditioner

gel

shake done no combing

[nin4lifefan]

is it best to do this at night and let it sit?

plus do you have to use a gel can i just use water?

thanks girl!!

[pacutie101]

love your videos, what type of shea butter do you use, im looking for a reputable online store to purchase some..feel free to email me

[RusticBeauty]

(pacutie101) Hi, I get mine off of ebay, but the person I get it from has a personal website butters-n-bars(.)com, hope that helps!

[prettynaturalhair15]

can u please go to my channel and watch my video im only 16 years old and i am transitioning back to natural hair using braids and i have new growth and i just wanna kno if u can tell me or just give me an idea of what u think my hair type/texture is...thanks

[xSaffiieex]

wow! i <3 it!x

is there a replacement i can use?

instead of shea butter?x

[RusticBeauty]

(xSaffiieex)I don't really try alot of products so I wouldn't know, but a lot of ladies on youtube have define your curls type videos, I would check them out.

[416905416]

omg ur hair is so cute...i never saw curls that small b4

[ladylishus]

rustic beuty i think it would be better for my and your hair if you dont use a plastic brush because there are really hard and pull ur hair so i wuld use a ordinary brush the lack ones u know just a lil tip but if thats what u allways use then go a head but just a lil yip from me ok bye x x x

[chipityzu]

hi, if i was to twist/braid my hair wood it b better to use gel, or other products?

thanks

[hesaves777]

lOVE YOUR HAIR!!What color is your eye shadow?? LOVE IT;0)

[lollybabe08]

hi,

I have to save you as my favourite.

I have finally found my hair type.

although mine is much shorter

[shay18]

what hair type do u have?

[1shida1]

god i love your hair!

[SerendipityWomYn]

Idk if its just me, but I have tried using shea butter and ic gel in a hair style and it ended up leaving white spots in my hair :[

[2kurly4u]

Hey RusticBeauty! I really appreciate your videos, they are very informative :) quick question, what is the name of the hair brush that you used, and where did you get it from?

[RusticBeauty]

(2kurly4u)Hey, it is a "Denman" brush and I bought it from Sally's

[missDnyc]

not all black women get a perm because they think curly hair is bad. some just want a different look. although i don't like perms and don't recommend them, i wouldn't assume that a person with permed hair is struggling with confidence or something.

[KingOngendus]

Well done I prefer when black girls look natural, please don't get caught up in the manipulation that straight is good and curly hair is bad. When I see black girls with straight hair I feel sad because I know it's a sign of weakness

[pinkglamourgirl1]

Love your hair as always!

Wondering if you ever tried this Kinky Curly Custard stuff. I'm seeing it on Youtube a lot. Srt8isis says it's the bomb. NO CHEMICALS either. Let us know.

However you're hair is so healthy and you got the stlying down, that you probably won't need it. LOL!

[Str8isis]

I was wondering the same thing! lol

Rustic, if you try this method with the KCCC, you will DEFINITELY have less shrinkage. Just throwing that out there, but your hair is so pretty no matter what you do! ;)

[Stepper4life15]

dont use the brush just rake with your fingers

[ashbucket87]

I am too very happy to see you on Youtube. I have yet to see someone online with my hair texture. I love two strand twist and am pretty good at them. My twist outs are nice, but they never last and look as nice as yours do. I use shea butter, coconut oil, glycerine and maby other products (silmialr to yours). How can I make my twist out last longer w/o becoming fluffy.

[RusticBeauty]

(ashbucket87) It just depends on a lot of factors-how physically active you are,climate,winds, how thick your twists are,hair type..etc..I know my hair is going to eventually get messy,but I know I can have it a week looking pretty decent, after that it is up to me whether I re-twist or leave it. The key is to wear a satin cap as often as possible when you are not outdoors. Brushing your hair on a couch, pillow, constantly putting your fingers in your hair...all slowy mess your style up.

[lisha590]

im so happy i came across your channel! i would see alot of black women with natural hair but none really like mine...well the extra extra healthy version of mine...lol you wouldnt believe i got so frustrated with my natural heat damaged hair today that i just started chopping. i have like this mini fro in the front and 12 inch hair in the back its kind of funny...but anyways keep up the good work!

[allmine444]

Hmmm this is interesting because I also tend to see define ur curls for people with 3c hair textures or something like that... cool!!

[LDivva23]

If you want to try and go for a more defined look you should try putting your hair in big twists after you put in your products and brush. Then take them out when they are still damp, & continue to let the hair dry loose, I've done it this way & kept the style for about 3 days.

You hair looks great though.

[hottest60]

I think your hair is has a 4/a and 4/b mix in it

[juicyjeje]

you are very pretty and so is your hair...

but for some reason everytime i use shea butter and the IC Gel, I get major residue. Like little white crumbs. So i tried to just use the IC Gel by itself and it DOES NOT hold my curls or waves. I don't know what i'm doing wrong b/c before i used IC GEL i used just some plan ol' PROAMP gel and it does way better for my hair than the IC GEL does. I don't know..guess i gotta play around with it! but great video!

[bohomommie]

You should try Cantu Leave in Conditioner...I use it and it really defines the curl.

[mslathomas711]

do you put any oils like oive oil or coconut oil in your whipped shea butter, or do you just whip it plain? I've been natural for about two months now and it's nice to see someone managing natural coily hair instead of natural curly hair. Thank you for your videos. Now i can look as if i have curly hair!

[RusticBeauty]

(mslathomas711)I have two sets off shea butter. One that is plain and another that is whipped with coconut oil. In this video I am using plain shea butter that has not been whipped(or at least not by me) You gave me a great idea, I never thought to try this process with coconut oil and the IC gel...thanks!

[haitianbeauty19]

i think kinky curly curling custard would work pretty well on your hair!!! did you ever try it???

[RusticBeauty]

(Haitianbeauty19) hey, I have not tried KCCC...EVERYBODY says it takes FOREVER to dry, and I dont really want to deal with that...I wish they had sample packs or something..LOL

[robinson62]

It looks better if you spiral curl it with your fingers.

[2buscuits]

RusticBeauty -

What is your overall feeling about that gel? How would you rate it? How many afro pics would you give it? lol

[RusticBeauty]

(2buscuits)I am not really a gel person. I only use it to smooth my edges(which no gel has done to my standard) I love my shea butter-it is my first love. I have noticed when I put a lot of shea butter in my hair and then IC gel...little bits of shea butter crumbles emerge which I do not like. I have not used it for too many things YET, But at this point I would give it 6 afro points, 10 being the best.

[LIASTRY]

Try to get a product called smooth edges - trust me that will straighten your edges.

[2buscuits]

I went to Sally's and picked up the jar of IC Styling Gel with Sparkle Lites and studied it for awhile. When I read, "Sparkle Lites" I thought maybe it had glitter in it or something. That may have been just me but, I didnt see anything but gel. What are the "Sparkle Lites"? Am I product challenged? lol

[RusticBeauty]

(2buscuits) I kinda thought the same, and I too didnt see anything inside. I dont know what "sparkle lites" is either, I tried googling it and didnt find anything. So you are not alone LOL

[nAnItEle]

Oh you tried the IC fantasia gel...isnt it nice...it defines my curls so well some times my puff looks like a straw set lol

[CoilsKinksCurls]

Your hair always looks fabulous! Just a tip, try totally saturating the hair with water, the water weighs the hair down then apply the gel the curls will be a little bigger and more defined. Love the vid!

[RusticBeauty]

(CoilsKinksCurls)Thanks for the tip!

[heavenzbest1]

Your hair is sooo beautiful!!! and THICK! Shea butter has been my best friend. I made a recipe of hair cream and it has done wonders! I love the coconut oil too

[cararedondita]

I think it is so cute how you continue saying "OK?"..just something i noticed, love the videos :)

[hollyhollyrose]

Can you make a post of how your style looked after you completed the whole routine?

[RusticBeauty]

Ok :)

[hollyhollyrose]

Yeah!

[2buscuits]

Also...before I begin trimming my ends, when you trim your ends, how do you go about trimming the back. If you bring your hair around to the front to trim, doesnt it cut at an angle? Can you do a video on trimming your ends in the back possibly?

[2buscuits]

...Yeah, water-based hair gel doesnt agree with my hair. I used to do the "hot water and grease" method before applying hair gel. Ive watched all of your videos and it seems to me that you spend a great deal of time preping your hair before you style. I recently purchased all of the products and tools you use. I planned to try the twist-outs yesterday but time didn't permit. Now its Sunday and I have to work tomorrow so ill wait until next week.
