[daanceduh]

wonderful video..YOU'RE GORGEOUS :)

[sweetnhotme]

OMG! this is was just perfect 4 the moment, I´m a new natural and I have lots of doubts but ur videos are really helping me, thanks 4 d tip.

[godswrittenmessages]

Wow! I am going natural for not the 1st or 2nd, but the 3RD TIME! It's been about an 8 year time lapse between the last time I was natural and my hair is beyond damaged. Coming out, thinnning....ugh! I'm actually afraid to perm my hair. Here I go again! Your video is very encouraging! Hope to keep you updated.

[unhealablewounds]

You are so theatrical LOVE IT !!! keep making videos :)

[Kara7274]

Thanks, I really enjoyed your video. I'm transitioning for the second time, did the big chop; but have been struggling with keeping my hair soft. I'm fine with the length..just can't stand the dryness. I've tried several products that make my hair shiny and a bit of natural curl...but once it dries...it's dullm and hard again. Open for suggestions...

[JTSBLACKQUEEN21]

Gurl, thank you so much! I have a very very very TWA and I've been looking for ways to make it look good in the morning and this is great! :)

[partystreet]

Sorry... i'm new at this... what is TWA?!

[brownbeaumont]

I love coconut oil, its really good to cook with, unlike all other oils that hurt and make me sick in two much excess coconut oil is good in any amount and it has a really nice sweet flavor. I had some pizza last night that was burning on the top and raw on the bottom to I fried it up in coconut oil and walah.

[wilsons1980]

Gracias Chica! My hairs flat every morning and I usually revig with my veggie gly water but it's fall in Milwaukee and that's not conducive here unless I want a head cold . So thanks will try this today:) love ur hair on the vid even though you've surpassed this twa stage:)

[babybrat925]

Lol love this video "just becaus it attacks you, doesn't mean you can't attack back" you're definitely an inspiration for doing a BC early in the journey. Ur twa was the bomb.com

[Ladysmash711]

I love the way you put this video together!! Keep it up! And thanks for the tips.

[c2heart1420]

I love it!!! My twa is a pain in the morning.. Sigh

[NaTuRaLcOcOnUrSe]

Thanks soo much!!! I'm only 1month post BC and I've been using water. However, I have wondered what I'd do in the winter months. :) Also, where can I find that coconut oil (I'm guessing any health food store) Am I correct??

[ariebabi123]

My sides are knappy. What gel do you recommend to use on my side, that cotains no alchohol, is safe for my NEW TWA. :)

[frecklezac]

i like your videos they r cute. how do u edit them

[LadiiOri]

Well Nikki I am back to the TWA after years this time by choice. I like the short look during the summer. Thinking of def growing it out for the winter. Thanks for the helpful fun tips!

[XXXamazinggraceXXX]

is that your natural curl pattern?/ do u put anything ese on it to define yor curls

[Nikkimae2003]

Yes, this is my natural curl pattern. All I put on my hair after washing was coconut oil, my oil spritz and my moisturizing cream (shea butter mix)

[spareld]

I absolutely love this video....I was just talking to another natural and we was talking about how there are so many megs on relaxed and weave hair or dreads that there are no megs for natural hairstyles. Great video this is going into my favorite

[Nikkimae2003]

Thanks for your kind comments! Btw, I may be out the loop but what are "megs" ? lol

[bebe4c03]

Cute

[MsMorningGlory]

Mae, you are sooooo creative!!!! Your video editing is impeccable!! Coconut oil is my friend as well. :)

[Nikkimae2003]

Thank you ma'am!!

[mysskay]

LOL! just when i thought i had seen the best video ever, you ended with the "brought to you by" voice and THEN it was official! you know you had too much fun doing this, but im glad because i loved it! thanks for sharing :o)

[Nikkimae2003]

@mysskay lol! I sure did. This was my release from stress while I was writing a scientific abstract for a conference submission lol

[lexyladybug81]

very creative..a must try

[SamuelsMommy]

I do this on my *very* twa, except I do find that I need to spritz a little water in there with the oils in order for my hair to better receive the oils, if that makes sense. I love this vid, you are so cute and creative and that fro is growing nicely!

[emajay1981]

Cute and creative video! Thanks for sharing.

[BoHoLioness]

Omg girlie. I so love this video from beginning to end. I also have the same color spray bottle for my oils with almost the same oils (thought I was the only one) =)
