  • i love your hair in this video, and YES Putumayo is the BOMB!

  • I loooove your hair, i will definetly try this.

  • yay new subscriber, love it!

  • Love, love, love your channel. I am so happy I found a hair blog woman that has similar hair as to mine. In a span of three days, I did the flaxseed gel(love, love, love); by the way do I need to keep it in the fridge all the time? I also did your twist method and it was so easy and with the gel my hair was so defined and shinny. Please make as many videos as possible. Thank you, Thank you, you have made my journey easier.

  • @charmarich IM VERY EXCITED TO FIND THIS CHANNEL AS WELL..IM SO EXCITED TO TRY THIS..

  • You have my exact hair texture..and my parents are jamaican too..im sooo happy i found ur channels!!..lol

  • how long did you transition?

  • Rule of 3rds on the last intro pic..........VERY EFFECTIVE

  • I know this is an old video, but I just watched it tonight. The reaction you gave about the flex video had me lmao. I don't know what a flex video is, but you handled it nicely lol.

  • Alright, I am a music lover (any genre) as long as it is good. Checked out putumayo and so far, it's dope. Once again you are awesome. ((grooving, Checking out Brown Bird))

  • May I ask your age? I hope its not to personal... if so sorry *smiles take care!

  • i told my friend about your videos and how much of an impact they have beem on me. she has went natural also, but used heat in her hair a couple times since she has been natural because she got a sew in. will that effect the growth or health of her hair if she has stopped completely now because of your videos?

  • Yeah, I want to know what a flex video is, too! Can't leave us hangin'!

  • What's a single strand knot?

  • @leighwoodstudio when your hair wraps and tangles around itself.

  • I have been natural for a year and my hair no matter what i put in it dries up quickly what can i do to make it softer all the time. i just love your videos and i thnk you're hair is beautiful.

  • @allyson99 : I learned you may want to keep a spray bottle of water in your purse so from time to time you could go to the ladies and spray your hair to keep it moist...you could also put some of your favorite oils in the water for a double effect...I've been trying that myself because I have dry hair too, but I haven't been doing it long enough to say if it really works...

  • My mother is from the southern states and my father is from the West Indies, too! Couldn't understand where you said your grandfather was from, though.

  • @Erioas she said her grandfather was born in Cuba, but he's jamaican. :)

  • hi my name kiarra and i want to start my natural hair i have braids in my hair and im going to be taking them out soon my hair is really nappy because the perm i had in my hair is gone so now i have a lot of new grow and like i said its really nappy will the twist out work for my nappy head doyou have any tips for me .

  • People want her to flex her muscles (I can understand the awkwardness of that, lol), but you can see it in her videos, lol.

  • Your hair is gorgeous! I love how your hair regime is simple and most of all "au naturale". :-)

  • HOW long did you transition for?

  • I am in the process of getting all of my oils to make my shea butter mixture

    (your recipe, smile), but we have only 1 whole foods store in our city and they

    sell only 1size jar of unrefined shea butter (7oz.), which would be fine but they

    sell out very quickly-can you tell me where you get your shea butter from?

    Thank you.

  • @newlynatural92 She put a link in the description (don't know if you found it yet) and others have gone on amazon.com as well.

  • @MsFrisco87

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! After receiving you reply text(where do you buy your shea butter?) My question to

    naptural85-I did find the link(smile). She does make it so easy, but I was in such a hurry to find it, that I

    completely overlooked it(smile). THANKS AGAIN!

    Sincerely, newlynatural92.

  • @newlynatural92 I'm glad you found it :) I got my shea butter from whole foods. I think it was called Now Solutions and it was only 7 oz. for about $12, but I will most likely get it from amazon or the African website next time.

  • @MsFrisco87

    We only have 1 whole foods store here in our city and the shea butter was also in a 7oz. jar, but for $9.99-

    I didn't buy it though, after hearing naptural85 talk about the fair trade shea butter, I thought that was really

    great, you know, thinking about how to help others while doing the healthy thing for our hair(smile), so I'm

    now in the process of ordering from the same website as naptural85-thank you again(smile).

    I'm still not sure how to find my hair grade, 4a,4b etc. HELP! 

  • @newlynatural92 Yeah, I may end up getting my shea butter from that website as well. As far as hair grade, I try not to get caught up in that, lol. I just know it has to do with the width of the curls and the pattern and 4c is the coarsest hair that you can have. There's an S shape or there are "perfect" ringlets and some hairs are weird Z shapes. I don't know how essential it is to know the exact grade of hair...but this is just my rookie opinion! :)

  • @MsFrisco87

    Thanks again(smile). I think you're right-as far as knowing exactly what my hair grade is,

     it's not all that important(smile). I am enjoying the whole journey though. Oh and rookie opinion or not,

    I really appreciate it(smile).Take care.

  • I know this question has been asked before, but I haven't found the answer yet:

    how can I find out what my hair type is? I want t say thank you again for all the

    help and guidance that you're so gracefully sharing with all of us. I've been

    natural now for 1 year and 4 months(smile). I'm really loving everything about

    my natural hair, and having your videos to watch and learn from has made

    it all so much easier and so much fun.

  • I just cut an inch off my hair today due to single strand knots. I've cut off about three inches off this year I think, because of them. I tryyyyyyyy to ignore them but I can't. Even now after my trim I am still feeling them....taunting me. But I will end up bald if I keep cutting. Is there some kind of 12-step program for this? Sigh...

  • what camera do you use?

  • lmaooo at the faces she made about the flex video. she's athletic n her arms r obviously toned so ppl want her to "flex" if im correct? show what she got! lol

  • what is a flex vid? lol

  • how do i find out my hair type like 4a and 4b what does it mean??? help me im confused!!!!

  • @misstoughlove09 4a and 4b just means the tightness of your curls, it should be most visible when your hair is at its most natural (no product in it). It seems that most naturals have different curl patterns on different spots of their scalp.

  • hey naptural...i am so in inspired by what u are doing..u make me love bein in natrual and starting next yr.im gonna start using all natural products..i need to get rid of my hair products..but anyways

    i already emailed u about this but i wanted to know what face wash and bodywash/soap do u use?? i hope they r organic to.lol

  • What a coincidence! My mom is American and my dad is from Jamaica, paternal Grandmother was born in Cuba.

  • Hello I've been watching your videos for about a month now and I have two questions for you :

    1.) how do you find out your texture

    2.) What is the flaxseed gel used for ?

    I hope that you can answer these questions if you do not mind thank you ! :D

    P.S I REALLY love your channel !! <3 :D

  • Yadie- no half yadie. Every been to Jamaica? My maternal grandmother people are Jamaican/Cuban, maybe we're related

    ;)

  • i have very dry scalp no matter how much oil i use.( i normally use pure virgin organic coconut oil from whole food to oil my scalp n wash it with a dermatologist prescribed shampoo which helps a little so can u suggest anything for me. and also wanted to know how u can tell the type of natural hair one has. i dont know mine. pls help, any suggestions will gladly help. thanks

  • do you use any type of vitamins for hairgrowth and if so which kind ?

  • You spend a lot of money on Shea Butter, I shop on sheabutterhut's site.

  • I fell in love with Putumayo Music when I worked in Early Childhood Education.  It was an excellent resource for introducing children to World Music. Putumayo’s Dreamland CD is awesome! I have children and they listen to that CD almost every night. It's a must for a smooth bed time routine.

  • How long is your hair currently?

  • My Grampa was born in Cuba as well and he is also Jamaican as is my entire family (myself included)!!!!!! :0)

  • HEY GIRLIE, QUICK QUESTION, WHICH VIDEO EDITOR DO YOU USE? THANKS!

  • I love you videos and i have the same hair type as you i am having soooooo much problem with mositure my hair is always dry and i love the way your hair has shine and looks moisture can you please help me with that. i tried everything shea butter and my oils make my hair fell greasy is there any suggestions you have for me

  • I love you video and i have the same hair type as you i am having soooooo much problem with mositure myt hair is always dry and i love the way you hair has shine and looks moisture can you please help me with that. i tried everything shea butter and my oils make my hair fell greasy is there any suggestions you have for me

  • @DearNaptural85 ! i love your videos and watched your DC video with egg,mayo, and honey. Right now im doing a deep conditioning treatment thats supposed to reduce shrinkage up to about 40%. If you wanna try it you would need one whole lemon and a cup of sour cream. I have no lemon :/ but im replacing the lemon with orange (something acidic to cleanse the scalp). I let it sit on clean hair for about a hr and then rinse. Ill probaly cowash cuz of smell n apply shea. it also loosens curls!

  • OMG! The story of my life [about the knots]... I just finished fishing through my hair with scissors :o( As you were talking about single-strand knots, I just found myself sinking in self-reflection and embarrassment (even though no one else is around, lol) *sigh I'm soo glad I watched this because there was no one else I could find that understood my plight! Thank you! It'll be hard, though, to pick though my hair in class and fantasize about coming home and snatching up the scissors!

  • The single strand knot bit is soooo funny because that's EXACTLY how I am! lol

    Honestly. You know when you're at a desk for a long time and you have your supplies, you know, like water, something to nibble on, lip balm....I keep a pair of scissors too! lol

    Not anymore! I shall not obsess over these darn knots any longer!

    Thanks for the tips (^^,)

  • Can you do more recipes on food. Please I love the turkey burger recipe.

  • when u did wear kinky twists, what did u use to moisturize your scalp & hair?

    My hair is SO DRY & BRITTLE when taking my kinky twists down :(

  • Hair type twin, it's funny we are a lot alike! My dad's family is from Jamaica, while my mom's is from the south(US). Funny! Love the twists!

  • great video i av jus sub u i would love if u cud sub back plz .....thanks

  • how do i know my hair type???

  • what in the world is a Flex video???

  • Great video! You have a lovely personality!

  • Hi. i'm guessing you don't use a blow dryer or anything heat related like that on your hair, this is where the question comes in, how do you dry your hair after you wash it? i'm trying to refrain from using heat on my hair.

  • Whats a Flex Vid ? . . .

  • I love Putomayo!!! I work with children I play the few cd's from them that I have and they LOVE it lol. I really like you hair and in this video is that a sister locs that you have and are they hard to take out?

  • I love your videos! You do a great job at explaining. Plus it answered all of my questions.Thanks!! : )

  • I wanna do my hair that small but wheres the time T.T

  • is the shea butter on that website the same as the one that you make yourself in your video's. also where do u get all your products for your shea butter and everyday creme? i couldn't find half of the ingredients at wal mart.

  • Do you feel the same way about split ends like you do about SSKs?

  • hi , im new to ur channel and i love it i was jus wondering if you oil ur scalp at all? if so how often? and what do you use ? jus cz im under the impression you only use the shea butter on the actual hair????????

  • Hi! Love the channel! I would like to know what is the style you have in this video? What is the name of the braiding technique?

  • Curly or maybe you didnt need a perm and you got one anyways

  • Do you have to have good hair to go natural ?.

  • @trc012

    What is good hair?

  • Do you have to have good hair to go natural ?.

  • I have learned so much from you & your music selection is fabulous. Chemical free for 3 yrs. Went to the salon & the beautician cut 3 in" off b/c of split ends, I was so upset. My hair hair has grown since I stopped the blow dry/flat iron. I wasn't concerned about split ends, since I don't wear my hair straight, what are your thoughts about split ends? Do you find if you allow the certified hair "mud" to dry on your scalp it's hard to get off? Your sacrifice is helping so many. Blessings to you.

  • oh I love putamayo! I love their french cafe music in Portuguese! Awesome! 

  • I swear someone reccommended me to your vids long ago and yrs later here I am not remembering until just now...funny huh? lol

  • hey naptural85 i would like to thank you for your inspiration on putumayo. I currently have 18 albums and I can honestly say it's nice music. I'm still getting use to it. So thank you and keep up the good work.

  • been goin' thru some things with my hair for the 1st time in a long time (the crown to be more specific). I need some help on trimming & watched your video. Helped thx. I clicked the link for sing. hair knots. I only wanted to see your opinion on just that, (needless to say), it was the last question. I am glad to have watched the whole thing. I learned some useful information. I needed the wake up call of simply...stick to the basics & listen to your hair, it will win the argument each time.

  • do have the single knots too and I do cut my hair all the time. I guess that is why I do not see much growth. This was nice to know. Thanks.

  • @prettysunshyne someone asked naptural to flex her biceps because they were so impressed! LOL!

  • how long did it take for you to do those twists? Does your hair shrink alot? How do you keep your hair from shrinking? :)

  • great video

  • I love Putumayo too. Right now my favorite is "India", and the top song on that cd is "Zara Zara" it's such a romantic song. If you haven't heard it, then I recommend you Youtube "Putumayo India" and it's the first song up. BTW what's a flex vid?

  • @glitterandglueforyou I'm w/u..I'd like to know what a Flex vid is too!

  • @glitterandglueforyou lol. i love this comment. 1) because i looked up that song and it's beautiful. 2) and ditto- what's a flex video?!

  • lmao @ your facial expressions about the flex request.

    thank you SO MUCH for the music tip. i need some new stuff to run to.

  • LOL about the flex vid

  • Thank u for answering all of our questions! Off to Whole Foods I go!!! I have dry hair too. But trying ur fluffy shea butter mix has been a lifesaver for both my daughter and me! Also, luv ur take on 2-strand twists...it's the only way I twist my hair now!

  • I love Putumayo too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LoL, I thought it was a request for flexi rod sets. SMH.

  • love your hair in this video. I would like to know how you styled it

  • Great video, thanks for the links. The whole flex video rqst is freaky weird, like WTH is that???? :-D

  • Aw, thank you beebeememe! <3

  • so you use the mud, acv rinse and the may conditioner (along with your leave-ins)? I thought all you would need was the mud cleanser and a leave in. Is conditioner still necessary?

  • Hey bqe718! Oh no, no, no, no! Sorry if I've confused you at all...it's not all used at the same time! I use my mud wash and No conditioner. Just follow with shea butter to seal in water (I guess you can call that my leave in?)...I use the acv rinse and the natural homemade mayo conditioner every once in a while if my hair needs it. Like if it is extra dry or needs a boost, etc.. So on a daily basis it's just mud wash n' shea butter <3 Does that help?

  • @DearNaptural85 my hair is kinda opposite of yours, i'm 4b everywhere but my crown is 4a...i just tried the mud wash and i can completely see why you only use water to moisturize your hair HOLY CRAP it's amazing...it's almost like if I use anything else my hair goes nuts..but water alone, it's perfection. I had to test with sealing and I settled on shea butter + olive oil because my hair is mad porous. Thanks for the rec for the mud wash. Check out lobi traore, (recently) late great mali singer.

  • Congrats on becoming partner on your other channel....its about time! =D
