lol! You sound like my little sis! 'Glam-ed up to go to the grocery store.'... I have been watching for vid.s for a few months now, and just realized I have never commented. I really like your channel and think you are such an smart woman. I've been natural for approximately 8 years and I think I've been stuck at around armpit length for the last 6 to 8 months. I can't wait to try more of your techniques and luvnaturals products! You are TOO cool!! <3
my curl pattern is tighter than yours... will this still work.... am scared that if i try this i will wake up with tangles ... please respond to this thanks
Kim, I must say this is amazing what you are doing! I have a 4 yr old daughter and she is mixed, and I'm always on YOUTUBE looking for ways to improve the styles I do with her hair... her hair type is exactly like yours and you've opened my eyes to some awesome things! Thanks for what you do!
hey.. so i hope this question doesnt seem silly and i hope you havent answered it a bunch of times bt how did you wrap your hair at night? did u just wear a bonnet? or did you do something special?
Whole Foods in Alexandria?! I haven't been to that one yet. I usually travel out to Rockville for Whole Foods and MOM's. I live only five minutes from Alexandria! (Just a side note)
Hi Kimmay!! i just wanted to say I just spent two days watching your videos!! Again!! LOL!! I'm a woman on a mission to grow my hair long and healthy!! Thanks for your continued hard work and dedication to the natural hair community!!!
hi kim...what step in your flexirod set gives your hair "hold"? would you say its your homemade leave in? 5 minutes after taking out my rods my hair swells up and loses definiton
I love ur vids they have helped mr on the best way to becoming natural. Currentlt I'm in my 3RD month of the trans. Thanks and keep the vids coming ;)
Your hair came out so cute!!! I tried the same style and the humidity attacked my hair. I will be rocking my two strand twists for the next couple of months.
Hi Kimmay...thanks for this tutorial..i was in a rut..so i did it on saturday night and it was beautiful for church sunday..got Lots 'O Compliments...1 question though...How do u maintain it? I wore a bonnet to bed and it was kinda mushed on one side this morning..is that just 1 of the things I'll have to accept when wearing this, or do I need to sleep like 'The Thinker' all night with my chin propped on my hand? lol...I know u r into art too, so u will understand what I mean...but help me out
Hey girl! So sorry ....I still owe you a holla back but life has me going in circles. Whole Foods in Alexandria is my spot too, as well as Trader Joes on St. Asaph Street. Maybe I'll run into you again soon. Hope you are Blessed!
Do you use the same moisturizing technique in the summer and the winter? Also, when you use kinky curly curling custard aren't you suppose to remove all the oils from your hair. The maker of kinky curly suggests using her shampoo with baking soda to remove oils properly. However, I know how alkaline baking soda is and would not want to try this. How do you remove the oil buildup on your hair before using kinky curly curling custard.
Hi, Kimmay!! Just a few words to say "Thank you". Your videos are always very informative and always extremely well made. I can see you put a lot of your time educating and sharing with others and furthermore I think they are the reflection of a very strong woman! Hope it's not too cheesy, one more time thanks for your videos.
Hi, Kimmay! Once again i'd like to thank you for making these wonderfully informative and inspiring videos. I'd like to make a request. Could you please address the whole greasing the scalp thing? I personally don't believe in greasing my scalp even though that's what I was taught. I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks!
Lady Daisey user from the Caribbean shouting out to Kimmay!!!! Oh Yeah!!!
Who would have thought that a hair dryer would help me feel connected to you ;o) kidding lol.
Love your videos and the wealth of info that you take the time and effort to share. They've changed my perspective on how I view and handle my natural hair a lot. I've hit a major stumbling block/s of split ends, easy breakage and shedding but you keep me encouraged. Thank you and God Bless you in your endeavors
One thing I noticed that you did unlike what I typically do for my two-strand twists is you loosely wrapped your twists during twisting whereas when I do my two-strands to wear as is I roll the hair when doing the twists which causes them to look more like finger coils once separated. It seems that doing them the way you did makes them appear flatter instead of round. Hope this makes since. Anyway, I can't wait to try this! And your hair looks beautiful as always!
OMG!! this is sooo gorgeous! I will be doing this style instead of the crazy straw set that I bought like 100 straws for !! This is way easier and simpler to do! and I can totally refresh and retwist when the style gets old!
Hi Kim, my daughter and I love your info-vids. QQ: my daughter swims a lot over the summer..she adores the protective styles you wear, but a easy fav of mine are her two french braids. Last summer, she ended up w a blonde streak in the front of her hair, sun& chlorine, just being an outdoorsy type kid. Any suggestions on keeping her hair from getting dry over the summer (no, she doesn't use swim caps..she has a lot of hair and they fit uber snug). Hope you can respond.. TY xoxo
Woo! with your videos, I couldn't subscribe to you fast enough! Thank you for all your hard work and the professionalism that shows through in each and every vid you make :0)
@kittrin I have that same problem. I find myself constantly saying "I wish I didn't have to do so much. Other races don't have to..." But I realized when I do reach my goal (and I will) my victory will taste SO sweet! :)
Ms Kim, have you had days when your hair did not turn out as curly; as if there wasn't enough hold to form a proper curl? I am currently having that problem and I am wondering if the "wrap and roll" by Jane Carter would help. My hair is the same length as yours with very similar texture. Looks great! Thank you so much for sharing! Excellent quality videos and information!
Kimmay, i know you stress protective styling. I would love nothing more than to incorporate this into my hair regimen as i want to retain length and moisture. However how can individuals with TWA, like myself do so? BTW your hair is beautiful.
Thank you so much for your videos!! I am still a fairly new natural (just about 6 months in) and I have seen so much growth and beauty since beginning to use ur videos as an education source.. I am grateful that u are doing this...I was one of the girls told that my hair was too "nappy" to be natural...Now I understand how foolish that statement is and I can care for my daughter's hair and help her see the beauty in it as she and it grows! Thank you
Your hair turned out great! You look so pretty! Im going to order that book soon, there's still so much for me to learn although my technique has shown pretty good results. I just did a straw set on my TWA with your leave in conditioner and honay it's helped a BUNCH w/moisture. Thanks alot and keep up the good work, you're very inspiring :)
before i applied your methods i use to think my hair did not have a curl pattern...but your hair journey truly inspired me to take the time to take care of my hair, and your methods showed me how...now it has curls & i love my hair & it is thanks to you...keep up the good work & thank you sssoooooo much :) this video just gave me insight as to how much my hair will grow if i keep treating it right.
This is such a beautiful hairstyle! I use Curlformers to curl my twists, but I never attempted to separate my twists yet...I don't know what is holding me back (maybe the frizz?), but I will attempt it this weekend now that I know to use a natural oil for slip. :)
You're gonna go insane constantly defending yourself against viewers who challenge your every hair move. Just do you- and if others don't wanna get on the boat, then let em drown. No, actually I don't want them to drown- I'm just saying- you're doing what obviously works for you and could potentially work for others. Everyone has their own practices, which may or may not work for them and perhaps they feel threatened by your knowledge.. anyway, I'm rambling. just keep up the good work!
Kimmay what a coincidence, I'm on my way to whole foods for KCCC today (I'm getting my giovanni from walmart)...I'm not glamorous tho LOL. BEAUTIFUL CURLS!
Thanks for making your videos! You were one of the many Youtubers that inspired me to go natural! Now it has been two weeks since I did the BC and everything is great! So thank you, Kimmay!
Thanks for making your videos! You were one of the many Youtubers that inspired me to go natural! Now it has been two weeks since I did the BC and everything is great! So thank you, Kimmay!
Love the style! Your videos inspire me to take better care of my hair. I learn so much from your videos. You've also inspired me to really educate myself on proper hair care of our hair through research. It's been 4 months since I did my bc and I've learned so much info in this span of time. Keep the videos coming! :-)
I love your curls they looks so cute...lol @ you're just oing to the store lol, I do that too sometimes, ain't nothing wrong in looking good even if its just to go to the grocery store :)
Hey lady. love the video and the styes you provide. I just did my bc last wed. and I am soooooo excited! Yaaaaaaaay me.lol. I can't wait to see my hair progress. you have been a true inspiration. Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into us ma!
Your hair is beautiful! Thank you yet again for another video and the information that you provided in the description box. I keep my hair in two strand twists and I am really seeing lots of growth. I did try to step out of my comfort zone by doing a rollerset but...it was not successful. I will wear my hair our for a few days then shampoo, condition and twist back up (I love two strand twists!).
Kim I love those curls, I am using your suggestions and I am gretting good results, I am know where near your length, but I have healthy hair. Thanks! sooo much for all you do.
I am glad I found your videos, Jesus thank you a whole new guide to natural hair gosh fantastic like I said you are the business. I got the book by Cathy Howse and I am reading and slapping myself because of all the helpful tips and information in there
I honestly owe a lot of what I know to her. Her book set me down the right path for hair care. I'm glad I'm sending folks to her Amazon page because she totally deserves it. Between her and Chicoro those are th only books I found worthy of mentioning to the public. Keep in mind, I own a LOT of hair care books. Enjoy!
I like this technique very much,, I want to try it for the upcoming weekend for a dance. I'm just wondering if after a few days , doesn't this hair get dangled? And how do you get that style to wash out? Do you use that dangling method you have shown. Or do you comb through first , then use that method? Thanks much love..Keep the vids coming .. You most helpful..
Kinky afro textured hair, in it's natural state, is always tangled to some degree. Because our shed hair doesn't fall freely from our scalp. Once I'm done with this style, I detangle, wash and conditon my hair like normally. I have a few videos showing this already.
i think your videos are very well done. i must admit, i never do protective styles. i only use all natural products. seems to work for me. not sure if you know of others like me.
Products and protective styles are two different subjects. Products don't preserve hair. The products I use on my hair has nothing to do with how I handle it on a daily basis which protects it from wear and tear. So honestly, I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make. You can explain further if you'd like.
@MizzMilk LOL! I thought I was the only one that got in the shower and forgot the routine! Need to write it down and put it in something waterproof and take it in the shower with me!
Fab!!! as usual... I wish all I needed was 20 inches to reach waist length. I am 6 foot 1, and like you my mission is to grow my hair to it's longest potential..I have a long way to go I am currently at shoulder length. Happy Growing!!!
I have been wear my hair in protective styles for the last few months. I been add water and leave-in conditioner to my hair every few days, and pre-poo with conditioner to detangle and this help minimize breakage. I have already seen hair growth. Thanks Kimmaytube!!!
I know you've already got the products that you loved, but I was wondering if you've tried out Miracurl. It's an all-natural product that apparently gives better curl definition that KCCC, at a lower price. If you get the time, please try it out for us!
lol. I've already said that I'm not going to go out & purchase products solicited to me on Youtube for the heck of it. :o) Yes, I've heard good things about Miracurl, but unfortunately it never seems to be in stock. I'm sure the owners know that I'm here if they're looking for free advertising. Besides, the price of KCCC is a non issue for me. Because I don't use it everyday like some feel the need to do.
You're fabulous! - But I'm pretty sure you're aware of this! Thank you for providing us with a high quality resource, there's no excuse for not knowing how to take care of afro hair if you've got a computer and can spell 'kimmaytube'!!
wooow kimmay 16 inches! I was wanting to know that for the longest I'm at 10'' I cant wait until I get to 16. I was wondering how long your hair was because your shrinkage didn't look to be as much as mine but now I see why lol. I like this look
Thanks for another great hair video and especially the important information about OUR hair, I too have my hair in protective styles 90% of the time. :)
Love your vids/tutorials. They are so informative. Your hair is beautiful!! I have been reading lots, getting educatedon proper hair care techniques and trying to establish a healthy regimen for my hair. My last relaxer was in January '10 and big chopped at the end of March. It has been a challenge at times balancing moisture, trying many products, etc. You are a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, time and encouragement.
Just Beautiful Kimmy, Love your videos. Please tell me which setting product you used, beore rolling your hair. I really like the results, it looks smooth.
Gorgeous style! I figured you were looking/laughing with him when you looked off to the side. Great video Kim. Keep up the awesome work. I had a dream that I saw you sitting on the stage of the Oprah Show. She was interviewing YOU as a natural hair Guru Phenomenon that blew up because of your knowledge, personality and ability to constantly keep it real and tell it like it is! Here's hoping my dream comes true for you!
@CurlyCaprice I forgot to say, if I hadn't have gone to sleep watching your video I probably would've dreamed about spiders or worse...work! ; ) Everybody was so proud of you in my dream...
That is so pretty! Also, you give great advice - not just for black hair, but for all curlies - I love watching your vids and reading your info boxes. Thanks again...
...And thanks to your hubby for sharing you with us ;) x
this video helped me so so much...i have much shorter hair and still really confused about my hair type..lol...but i was just crying about my frizziness...and had to wash my twist out and wash and go...this was awesome..... do you have any protective styles for shorter hair. my hair is about jawline in the front and not quite to the shoulders in my back we can say it's all jaw line..LOL
I love the way u take care of ur hair....I want to telll u thanks for your videos because now I understand what I have to do with my hair... kisses from Italy!
I know exactly what you mean when you say you would like to wait until your hair gets at an imressive length for you before you flat iron it, I am the same way. People are always asking my "when are going to straighten your hair?" (no time soon). I've been natural for 2 years and stated I would probably until 4th or 5th years in before I straighten my hair. I too want to be SHOCKED!!!!
LOL @ your hubby in the room, mine does the same thing. I see that is something that occurs with a lot of us when we try to "do our thang." Gotta love 'em!
Great video Kimma.... I've been watching your channel for about 4 months now and I finally did my big chop 2 days again to acheive beautiful and healthy hair.. Thx for your time and positive energy.. I already know how difficult it can be to create these excellent videos for us girls.... Thx for the daily and necessary knowledge...
Hello Kim , thank you for the items I ordered from you store. I love this vid. Could you please sell some flowers for the hair, I notice that Goody have some pretty flowers for the hair, but you will have to drive to all the stores to find them. Please collect us some pretty flowers that we can just clip in our hair.
Thank you soooooo much for all you do. Please know that your work is NOT in vain. All it takes is one person to start a revolution :-) I am just starting my journey and I plan on telling everyone I know about the choices WE have as kinky-curly women. May God continue to bless you and your business.
I love to see your hair growth. I have been natural on and off for 13 years, really natural for the last 4 years. I am on my own hair growth challenge, I want to preserve length so I am gonna try the protective styles because nothing else has worked. BTW I recommend your channel to all my natural friends and they luv you too. Keep up the GREAT work!!!! I have learn more about my own hair from you....Thank you for all of your knowledge....(0:

Love the style! Your videos inspire me to take better care of my hair. I learn so much from your videos. You've also inspired me to really educate myself on proper hair care of our hair through research. It's been 4 months since I did my bc and I've learned so much info in this span of time. Keep the videos coming! :-)

Your hair is beautiful! Thank you yet again for another video and the information that you provided in the description box. I keep my hair in two strand twists and I am really seeing lots of growth. I did try to step out of my comfort zone by doing a rollerset but...it was not successful. I will wear my hair our for a few days then shampoo, condition and twist back up (I love two strand twists!).

Cathy Howse-- I LOVE that woman! lol.
I honestly owe a lot of what I know to her. Her book set me down the right path for hair care. I'm glad I'm sending folks to her Amazon page because she totally deserves it. Between her and Chicoro those are th only books I found worthy of mentioning to the public. Keep in mind, I own a LOT of hair care books. Enjoy!

I like this technique very much,, I want to try it for the upcoming weekend for a dance. I'm just wondering if after a few days , doesn't this hair get dangled? And how do you get that style to wash out? Do you use that dangling method you have shown. Or do you comb through first , then use that method? Thanks much love..Keep the vids coming .. You most helpful..

Thanks! :o)
Kinky afro textured hair, in it's natural state, is always tangled to some degree. Because our shed hair doesn't fall freely from our scalp. Once I'm done with this style, I detangle, wash and conditon my hair like normally. I have a few videos showing this already.

Cute. I do something similar with two strand twists when I want my hair to look shorter. Yours turned out quite similar and bouncy :)

i think your videos are very well done. i must admit, i never do protective styles. i only use all natural products. seems to work for me. not sure if you know of others like me.
Trinigirl4real 1 year ago
@Trinigirl4real
Products and protective styles are two different subjects. Products don't preserve hair. The products I use on my hair has nothing to do with how I handle it on a daily basis which protects it from wear and tear. So honestly, I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make. You can explain further if you'd like.

I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A KIM-GASM! I just finished your pre-poo/detangling method. I lost much less hair and I doubt I even had to finger detangle.

I know you've already got the products that you loved, but I was wondering if you've tried out Miracurl. It's an all-natural product that apparently gives better curl definition that KCCC, at a lower price. If you get the time, please try it out for us!
ashababe56 1 year ago
@ashababe56
lol. I've already said that I'm not going to go out & purchase products solicited to me on Youtube for the heck of it. :o) Yes, I've heard good things about Miracurl, but unfortunately it never seems to be in stock. I'm sure the owners know that I'm here if they're looking for free advertising. Besides, the price of KCCC is a non issue for me. Because I don't use it everyday like some feel the need to do.

Love your vids/tutorials. They are so informative. Your hair is beautiful!! I have been reading lots, getting educatedon proper hair care techniques and trying to establish a healthy regimen for my hair. My last relaxer was in January '10 and big chopped at the end of March. It has been a challenge at times balancing moisture, trying many products, etc. You are a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, time and encouragement.

I know exactly what you mean when you say you would like to wait until your hair gets at an imressive length for you before you flat iron it, I am the same way. People are always asking my "when are going to straighten your hair?" (no time soon). I've been natural for 2 years and stated I would probably until 4th or 5th years in before I straighten my hair. I too want to be SHOCKED!!!!
