The Incredible Shrinking FRO!

[CrownJewel32]

WOW! You didn't lie! It was like you were like 4 months natural, before, and 2 years natural afterwards. I thought you were gonna be bs'ing at first.

[DazOr95]

lock em up!!

[QueenVProduction]

when i saw your hair blown out i was like Daaayyymmmmm!! your hair is beautiful!

[onewomanbeing]

I wish i had your edges, mine are gone :(

[cleanheart25]

@onewomanbeing Im sad to report mine have thined from puffs.... :0( gotta work on that too!

[anime4reek]

Lol we must be related. I swore my hair wasn't growing much until i took the kinky twists out one day, Whoa!!!!!. So I was all "YAY" and then I washed it............MY five inch hair shrunk to 1/2 an inch.....I'm glad I've since found the band-out method......

[cleanheart25]

@anime4reek My beloved shrinkage sister! Stretching techniques what a concept huh?! My only challenge is I live in a rainy city...stretch to shrink...just can't win! lol

[anime4reek]

@cleanheart25 lol and the supper humid summers don't help (especially if you perspire)

[glepatrice0512]

@anime4reek what is the band-out method?

 I am very new to wearing my kinky hair

[angeldazed]

wow, beautiful fro!

[itsme123445]

Wow great hair!!

[tnsingergal]

Girl weeerrrrkk that big fro! Your hair is beautiful!!

[LilyDream35]

Ahh man!!! My eyes popped out of my eyes when I saw the blow out! I've never blown out my afro but now I really want to because I have about the same texture as you and my hair shrinks like crazy. :) Excitement!

[cleanheart25]

I haven't done one since then! I'm sure I'll drop to the floor if I do. I swear my shrinkage has doubled!

[cleanheart25]

Thanks!

[misstraightpuffin]

Love the vid

[Abena20]

Do you blow dry on cool? Also, how long does it take for it to shrink again?

[cleanheart25]

I've only blowdried that one time...I started with warm and finished on cool.

[cleanheart25]

*blushing* thanks! I haven't warn a wig in over a year...I just let the fro go!

[growingnaptural]

Oh please don't hide your fro' with a wig!! Your hair is GORGEOUS!

[083770]

Growingnaptural, you took the words right out of my mouth.

[AmaryllisTV]

Amazing hair, you have one fierce fro lol :)

[FashionistaLuvsNY]

Does 4b hair clump or curl??

[cleanheart25]

I believe it clumps.  4b doesn't curl...you might want to google cnap images...to get an idea.

[maudat]

It actually does curl (it forms ringlets!!!!!=) Check my friend's video out (type Cynthiarf on youtube search engine) Its AMAZING to see what type 4b hair can DO =) You really see her hair transforming through her journey =) Your hair look gorgeous, and it really suits you. pLEASE burn that wig (although it looked cute on you =)

[cleanheart25]

Your right! 4b curls and 4c clumps? Cynthia is my hair twin-I subscribe to her channel. Thanks for the love. I haven't worn a wig in over a year!

[Pieisforme]

Your hair looks similar to my younger sister's before he cut it.

[ruby8120]

To get my headbands to stay, use about 4 closed bobby pins to keep it in place.

[uniquemarie09]

What is your regimen. Your hair is thick and beautiful.

[cleanheart25]

Thanks for the nice compliment. I wouldn't say I have a "regimen"; I aspire to have one though! This is a good video idea! It depends on how I want to wear my hair and how I am feeling. My scalp and schedule dictate how often I wash my hair. My scalp loves water so after 3 days it goes crazy-but because I prefer to air dry thats not always a good idea. Ill make a video soon to explain and update about my hair!

[raiiniie]

i cried out to the Lord...and He heard me!!

lol this is how i've been feeling about my hair as of late!

[cleanheart25]

LOL :0)

Yeah co-wash, leave-in, gel & buns lately!

[raiiniie]

that's exactly what i've been doing..i'll twist it like once a week in hopes of stretching it but...that only lasts like two days.

[justjazzy87]

try heather's curly fro! your hair is beautiful! show it off...no need for a wig

[huney1023]

OH..MY..Gosh! I would of thought those pics where takin months apart. Your hair is so georgeous!! I can not wait until mines gets lke that! WOW!

[NowFaithe]

Sis you have a TON of hair I think I'm right behind you - that looks like about a year and a half of growth...am I close?

[cleanheart25]

Yeah sometimes I'm glad to have the shrinkage because it can get to be a bit much-its like a hair cut. It was about 1 year and 5 months since last relaxer and 11 months since big chop.

[cheekqueen]

WOW!!!

[utopiad4]

WOW I never imagined your hair was that long!

[CreamyButta]

OUR hair is MAGIC!

[SoulyMe]

Girl, you hair tripled in size! I wouldn't know what to do either once I blew it out, I would be thinking, "what now?" LOL

[cleanheart25]

My thoughts exactly!

[VeeBee81]

That was Great!! I must definitely be a member of the 4b club cos I thought I was the only one with the smallest afro in the world until blowdried out! Brilliant!

[cleanheart25]

Be careful don't fry your hair...I used the cool setting.

[VeeBee81]

Frying is the least of my problems... avoiding tearing it out of my head and learning to detangle with patience comes first... THEN to make sure I don't fry it!

[cynthiarf]

that blowout was GREAT! but why the wig after all that wonderful bigness?!? easy for me to say i didnt go out like that either w/o my headband LOL!!

[cleanheart25]

I was so not ready for that greatness! lol :0)

It was overwhelming and I didn't know how to style it!

[mikeweb92576]

Mmmmmm. I jus luv me some natural hair.

[cleanheart25]

yeah me to!

[alethakays]

hey it looks like we have to same texture! my hair def is as long as yours.. cant wait to see the rest of ur videos

[cleanheart25]

Its good to know I'm not alone :0) I'd love to know your regimen. Your screen name and avatar are so cute!

[LauraSCornelius]

I love your videos...ready to see more on how you manage and take care of your hair as well as the products you use.

[nappyandcute]

WOW!!! That was some serious shrinkage. Your hair is so thick and gorgeous! Keep it growing.

[sistalinda]

Whatever you don, please don't use any chemicals. If you want it straight, use heat. My hair got so long and thick by doing this.

Sis

[cleanheart25]

I love my hair to much to relax again...no way! Its been one good year of tlc since my hair melted off over a year ago!

I scary about heat too...lol

[3eerht3]

GUUURL! This is my JAM! Lovely hair though. Hope you find what works for you

[ldystarks]

cornrows in the front would look awesome. I can only imagine what I'd do to my hair when i get to this point. comb coils, twist, the classic two french braids (for summertime). Your possibilities are endless. Love that hair.

[trublueone]

Have fun with cornrow and twist out styles. Do you know who Tanieka Ray is? If you can find her hairstyle, take it to the salon and ask for this hairstyle. You can really have fun with it.

[TheSagaciousGirl]

You have some beautiful hair!

[teshonandfamily]

I love it, the video and your hair!

[MoreGirlTalk]

Girl,Girl, Girl!! Wow, your hair is beautiful!!!

[ElleJoie]

Love this video. Wish I had a suggestion; I do not. I, too, have an unwieldy head of hair.

[maamesaf]

i love your hair and your eyebrows

[cleanheart25]

Thank you :0)

[monicajoi]

Your blow out is beautiful, I can't believe you covered it up!

[cleanheart25]

Thanks Monicajoi, I would rock it if I had some cornrows in the front...I'd have to get it done though.

[ImaniNubianess]

[cleanheart25]

Thank you :0)

[Lineise]

Rock ya fro girl! I love all that thick hair

[cleanheart25]

Thank you :0)
