[LondonJahzara2011]

are you a 4c hair type

[GldnLady]

Wonderful video! Girl. you and your hair are gorgeous! Keep showing us how to do it!

[mryoyo37able]

I love the video simple and easy.

[gozie03]

WOW! that was beautiful...how did u learn to twist ur hair like that? I recently went natural and am new to all this. idk what type of hair i have yet, im not sure if i have to wait for it to grow out to actually be able to see or what. I transitioned for about 2-3 months and i cut it about a week ago. I was just inspired by this video to keep pushing forward! Im so excited and cant wait until I would b able to do this same style!

[sistasoul13]

[maximuslyricus]

I didn't know u cud just drop the hair pins in the cowry shells like that! Luv the hairstyle n thanx for sharing!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@maximuslyricus Yep, very easy and a great accessory

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

i feel like my hair is taking forever to give me some hangtime. Its so coily it grows out in spirals so it looks a lot shorter than it is...oh well

[tlewisbrown]

I agree with BrownFace - it was cute too when you let the front hang out. I probably end up with whiplash from whipping my hair if I let it hang like that. lol It still turned out really nice though. And that polish was HAWT!!!

[cobeany]

Love the do! Love the song! Thanks!

[BeautyCare101]

dont really like the hair stly but i liked ur twist out and i love the fack that u get to the point and dont do all the extra talking.

[dawnofaARAintime]

[BrownFaceTV]

I liked how it looked when you had all the back pinned up and the front was all out and wild!! Can't wait for my front sections to get as long as yours. I got some styles I wanna do dangit!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@BrownFaceTV My nape area is chopped and screwed. The breakage is ridiculous. ot really sure what to use on it. Its 4z, TRUST. Styling is really hard for me. Thats why I never have funky hairstyles, forshame

~keep it real

[MRSLEWELLEN1]

I am having issue with getting definition on my braid outs as soon as I take them down my hair gets frizzy. What would you recommend to stop the frizzies.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@MRSLEWELLEN1 When you do your twist or braids , sit under a hooded dryer and allow to dry completely. That ensures smooth and defined finish.

[OasisOfBeauty]

[tamikasutton76]

AE, you are just simply beautiful! I love the style and the music. I hope I don't offend you by saying this because I think that this woman is extremely beautiful as well as talented but you remind me of Phyllis Yvonne Stickney you may remember her as Ms. Hawkins the attorney on New Jack City. Keep it real as always and keep the vids coming.
