[GooGoo32]

mae's hair seem to grow so fast. i am getting growth just fine but not at the speed she is. :-) genetics.

[temps105]

How do you get your hair to do 5:21?

[BabeeCee1]

since you did "The Big Cut!" In Order to Get Your Hair Like You Have It Today , Should I Do The Same !!??? *Feedback Please !*

[MsStrawberryBacon]

@BabeeCee1 you dont have to big chop if you dont want to..you can use sew ins and wigs to help grow ur hair out to a length ur comfortable with and cut off the relaxed ends little by little

[1monilove]

BEAUTIFUL...HAIR STYLES



[dgladney1989]

[NaturalyGoddess]

Your hair looks great please feel free to cum watch sum off my videos;p

[MwahLynx]

Absolutely. Marvelous. *__*

[19mzyaya]

totally off subject but how old are you? you look so young.

[perfectlychiseled]

Love Your Hair, I went natural myself. What a journey it has been just in the past year in a half. All of the natural youtubers inspired me to document. With my addition of a little southern charm

[operatorone15]

why did you cut of all your hair, it was so long.....

[basnight26]

Reaaally don't understand how 21 people disliked this. Anyways, you transitioned so well miss! I love it. Peace, love & nappiness :-)

[Thundamonkeyz]

This is one of the several things I love about Mae's channel, but the fact that no one fights on here unlike almost everywhere else on YouTube is great :)

I think Mae is great though, you bring peace and are an inspiration to all of u's. Thankyou you beautiful, natural chica! Keep up the good work!

[pamrosina]

You come along way baby. Love it, beautiful.

[Skyduchess]

I really needed to see this to make me slows role. Awkward stage and limited knowledge on how to twist or braid almost got to me.

Thanks for posting.

[hade1hade]

inspirational, totally makes you realize that being patient is so important

[Tiffaliciousworthy]

I absolutely love your hair! Your video has inspired me to transition and go natural :)... Thx Mae!!!

[sekoukim]

Your hair is beautiful. It makes me miss my fro, now that I am loc'd! Either way, I believe natural hair is the way to go!

[tongresa77]

beautiful. aswesome. inspiring. thanks for posting this!

[JanayM]

Wow, amazing growth. Hair usually grows about 5-6 inches per year. Hopefully my hair would be this length by the middle of summer.

[1SewSweet]

Get review!!!!! I absolutely love your hair! I'm a 50+ female whose hair has thinned and i stopped relaxing almost two years ago too. Being natural has help it be not so thin!! Your videos help me so much!!! Thank you!

[ladyA52]

you remind me like corinne bailey rae so much. especially with ur shorter hair, u look just like her.

[toretsblaby]

I been natural for a year YAAAAY!!

[honeyberri]

@toretsblaby me to ! ; )

[toretsblaby]

I absolutely looove your hair. U r simply beautiful. I love how inspiring u r. Natural

[Klass761]

What a role model! I love it!!!!!!!! You go girl! 

[LuvsHairAlot2011]

Mae, you have inspired me so much. When I first discovered this natural hair community on you tube I had little to no direction. I treated my hair like it was permed and had some bumps and struggles for the first year that I transitioned. Watching your BIG CHOP helped me get to the point I could let go of my length and move on. THANKYOU so much for your inspiring videos.

[KeyisKeymi]

i love your hair...i just started my transition july of this year hopefully i the patience to get to 2years!

[MightyMite76]

And they thought African Amercian hair didn't grow!

HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

[naturalfashanne]

You have the most beautiful thick hair! Not to mention how fast your hair grew!!

[lovehope3753]

[vgraham4]

Thanks for sharing your journey!

[25yearsofthriller]

What products do yuo use?

[ronettesren]

I love this. I first watched a video of yours in May of this year. My hair was natural, but I was wearing weaves. You inspired me to get rid of the weave and to wear my natural hair out. Ever since then I've become more knowledgeable about my hair than I have even been in my 20 years of living. I wanted to say thank you, you're amazing and your hair looks great.

[loladiva1184]

Did anyone else notice how perfect Mae's eyebrows are!

[olexia07]

@loladiva1184 I agree. Every time I watch her videos besides looking at her hair I always notice how great her eyebrows are.

[rikka1287]

@loladiva1184 Yea she said she get them threaded...

[AyeGodiva]

[passion5316]

 Just Beautiful Mae !

[comose12345]

Love ur hair Mae....it was beautiful relaxed...but its absolutely gorgeous natural!...you were one of the main YT naturals that inspired me to get real...

[dmonique2011]

Omg I love your pics! U inspired me to bc in April and I'm so glad I did. I've tried some of your styles as well. Keep it up girly...

[aikeh257]

your hair is beautiful!!!! you're such an inspiration, i've been transitioning for almost eight months and I have been watching your videos religiously, your hair looks amazing and you've made so much progress, I hope do very well with you continue on your natural journey and maintaining your fabulous hair!!

[Trueboldness]

Can you, or have you done a tutorial on the style at 7:40 ?

[honeychild713]

Just beautiful.

[dreamsatsea]

Beautiful progress! Your hair looks luscious

I'm also going to start referring to myself in the 3rd person Lol

[Shadiyaray]

Your hair is so beautiful Mae!! I will be two years in March 2011.

[Anituer13]

This is more than enough to keep me motivated. Your hair is beautiful.

[OriginaNaturalBeauty]

Amazing progress! I have a question, that is totally off subject. How do you balance such a busy schedule, from Ph.D work to blogging/vlogging, to traveling for events. I just got my bachelors in biology and will be going to graduate school soon for my masters and ultimately to get my Ph.D. I have a lot of things I want to do outside of school, but I just feel so limited. Do you have any suggestions on balancing life and school/careee?

[leeshyeternally]

@OriginaNaturalBeauty You didn't ask me, but I am also in graduate school getting my PhD in biochemistry. Whatever you want to do, you will do. Sometimes it's hard to believe there are only 24 hours in a day but it can be done! Obviously, if you're considering graduate school, you are a highly motivated person. The only difference for me is that I'm paying my rent (I lived with my parents in college). It's tough, but you make time for the things that are important and don't slack off :)

[OriginaNaturalBeauty]

@leeshyeternally Wow.....Thank you SOOOO much for commenting. I am just now reading this response and boy, was it right on time! "Take time for things that are important and don't slack off :)" is going on my vision board! Wow, Biochemistry, thats so, intense! Good luck throughout the rest of your graduate school career.

[dejahdiorlauren]

LOVE this, can't wait until my hair gets to this level.

[thelasonj]

Congrats, Mae! You look lovely.

[160Days2Lose2]

I love it Mae!! You are definitely the ultimate inspiration! :o)

Can't believe my pic made it in too. I literally screamed when I saw it lol!

[themsk20]

Thanks for taking us on your journey!! I love your hair and your vids. You inspire me to keep going on this journey. 2 months bc on the 24th :-)

[Amerykal84]

Your progress is absolutely amazing!!! You're beautiful....great vid :)

[cuzzy911]

seriously, you worked the mess out of that TWA when you big chopped. You're face is really pretty so you definately pulled it off. Congrats on all the progress. Your hair is beautiful :)

[Missynatural1]

U r absolutely gorgeous my sister!

[SweetGaBrownin]

CONGRATS QUEEN!!!!! LOVE THIS CHANNEL/YOU!!!!

[IPICKHIM]

[KokoGigglesLots]

The 11 dislikes are obviously jealous of your growth. You are gawgeous darling!

[TheTeeti]

you inspire me....I am 3mos post BC......Only thing that annoys me is SHRINKAGE...Can't wait to get out of the fro stage!

[themsk20]

@TheTeeti i am having the same issue!! I am going to be be two months natural next week and i cant wait for this fro to grow out lol

[THExtremelyperfect]

[dorky979]

[RBLeggs]

[TheUniqueGemini]

[heatherchree]

[DomoniqueloveJ]

[ybefutile]

I love this! I'm on my journey and it's great to see beautiful naturals growing their hair like this. Much love and congratulations to you girl!

[Missyplaymate3]

[drroberson4]

Great video!!! Your hair is growing so beautifully!! I must add that you look great!! :)

[jsmillerboy1]

This is proof that I am not taking care of my hair well enough because your hair has passed my hair length and I was natural longer than you were lol wow

[ebonyrose316266]

Nice progress!

[atlantagradybaby]

yes as I look at all the photos I feel that natural hair totally looks good on you way more than manipulated hair.

[truth448]

Thanks for allowing us to go through your journey with you. It was absolutely amazing! You rock!

[MsRouge2000]

WOW!! Your hair is AWESOME!! What a great job a you should be very proud...

[kcnetters83]

I just want to say that you are a beautiful person in and out. Hopefully I will get to see the person that made me have confident in my big chop.

[polifonyann]

you my sister have a very wholesome clean look IM ENVYING THE SKIN.!!!

[potterylady1]

So nice!!! Your hair was thick even when you had a perm lol.

[ptypinkdiamond]

Just lovely...I'm almost at my one year...yeah for me

[kbdansby01]

Great video...watching this video has made me even more anxious about my big chop I'm trying to make it to the new year not sure if I can hold out. Your videos have help me tremendously, and you have confirmed that I'm making the best decision concerning my hair....and I can't wait to be beautifully natural. Thank you and continue to be blessed!!!

[MiaBia22]

love this and the music <3

[genejaytre]

do you always wear you hair out or do you do protective styles in the winter? love your hair and you inspired me to go natural. thanks for being informative. i tink we have the same hair type. what type are because our hair seems to be identical.

[25kishkish]

Fantastic Mae! Your hair is lovely. I was on the fence so long about doing the big chop and then I found your youtube videos. I bc'd July 27 2010 best decision of my life. Happy Natural Healthy Hair

[Dreamytresses]

great inspiration.

[DSLAlex4]

Absolutely wonderful. A beautiful head of healthy hair! Well worth the time and effort.

[krissiikisses]

Congrats ! I notice that you don't do many protective styles.. how do you retain your length so beautifully ? & without breakage ?

[lourdia]

wonderful

[kristyleon0209]

congrads! its been a beautiful journey

[Jolley185]

Love the one with your dog!

[kikidajon]

U were one of the first ppl I watched when transitioning I wanted to go natural cuz I hated my permed hair. U really inspired me. congrats love ur growth!!!

[skinnypennie]

There should be no dislikes congrats on your progress I hope mine goes that well

[tt21292]

it looks like u have always taken good care of your hair relaxed and natural. did u go natural for health reason or did u want to rock the natural look? im natural btw and i love curly hair i miss it when i press it

[foxynerd101]

loved this.. i too do not understand the thumbs own.. there was nothing to thumbs down....*confused face*.. this was phenomenal progress mae.. roll on year 3 :-)

[KhristinaBray]

Congrats! Your hair is Beautiful! You are a true inspiration :)

[shawnafrom35]

Why the dislikes, i Just dont understand, anywho looking great girl :) awesome

[zheahra]

Relaxed, straightened, natural, fro, braid-out, twist-out, rod, set, blow dried, and twa...doesn't matter. You're one gorgeous sis. I so happy you wore it all and showed us that we are black, beautiful, and blessed to have this hair. Much love sis, Z.

[nicegurl35]

great video

[wilsons1980]

Great progress! December will be my 1year and a half mark. Im behind on where my hair should be in length by abour an inch and a half so my focus is on managing breakage and keeping my ends healthy:) Thanks for the beautiful vid, youre awesome to watch alwayd.

[Malclev2007]

Great video! Truely inspirational

[Meedifyufosho88]

Don't usually speak on this but how can you dislike someones progress on something? lol "oh yea I don't like that man, her hair growing and stuff" haha a trip :)

[potterylady1]

@Meedifyufosho88 LOL... right!!!

[Shadiyaray]

@Meedifyufosho88 I was thinking the same thing. Why you would dislike someone progress pic? A mess.

[lesgsu]

@Shadiyaray Maybe someone who is feeling bad about their own progress or lack thereof....people should take the opportunity to improve on their hair health by learning from others here on youtube or elsewhere instead of coveting what others [naturals] have. We can all have optimum health of our hair...just requires TLC and patience. Happy Growing! :)

[octave121511]

@Shadiyaray Oh my goodness, I know. What was there not to like about this. I just don't get it.

[Xavia2004]

Finally! I was worried if I would see another great video soon. Thank goodness! You have come such a long way. So inspiring!

[prowoman]

Yayyyyyy Mae.....Put ya water bottles up ladies....Cheers to Mae and continued growth of all kinds.....xoxoxoxo

[mesince1988]
