[LyKOMFGTatzBS]

Such a cute hairstyle I love it lol I'm trying to find hair ideas since I'm trying to stay away from weave for a min, my hair needs a break!

[one2trynewthings]

Love it!! too cute and quick. I subbed! :-) check out my 2 cornrow braid out!!

[proudmommy702]

I've been watching your vids for styling ideas for my newly natural hair. It's short at the moment but using the same products you use helped me to develop my own styles that work best for me. Thanks for the inspiration.

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@proudmommy702 I'm really happy you were able to get some ideas and figure out what worked best for you!! I love trolling YouTube for inspiration or style ideas... Tumblr is another great site.

what song was that?

[1tinygem]

The video was great! My question: You are natural, but do you still go to the salon and get your hair pressed or just blown out? I have been watching a lot of the natural videos because I have decided I want to be all natural, but my problem is most of the women had to transition. I was not sure what that was at first and now know that they all at some point and time in their life had a relaxer. Is that your case also?

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@1tinygem I got relaxers for a nice chunk of my life, but I have friends that have never relaxed and still had to learn to care for their natural curls. Most of them did go to the salon religiously, so they were never in a position where they needed to do it on their own. Personally, I was never someone to be in the salon all the time. Only for a trim or touch-up... now only for a trim and that's every few months, sometimes more lol

[JDivaah]

You have a beautiful face and a very natural look!

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@JDivaah Thanks... that's a very nice comment.

I -3 it, thanks for sharing

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@611Kimmie Thanks for watching!

[mxwll106]

I like it I might do my hair like this on my wash day...I'm so tired of bunning

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@mxwll106 I'm not one to really wear my hair in a bun... maybe if I'm working out or trying to keep a blowout out of my face at night... but for the most part I love wearing my hair down, out and BIG! Give this style a try... as the temps get cooler it will last even longer.

[missusjoy]

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the video until you let the potty-mouth word slip. My 10 year old daughter was watching it with me. :(

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@missusjoy I'm 27 so a swear or two occasionally comes out. The majority of my videos are fine, but I don't necessarily make them with a younger, 10yo demographic in mind. I'm glad you enjoyed the video... sorry your daughter heard a swear word.

[milinash]

GOOD JOB GIRL.KEEP IT UP.

[sixtwentysevenblog]

Thanks!

[FreedieFreeloader]

I'm in the process of transitioning right now and have been scouring youtube for natural hair videos, yours are some of my favorites :). Thanks for sharing!

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@FreedieFreeloader Aww... thanks for watching! I'm glad you like them.

[Madinite8]

So adorable! Love it (:

[thelawofsinging]

super cute:-)))

[xxlondonlovexx]

So at night do I just put a bonnet on and refluff in the morning or just retwist it? And what if i let it set overnight instead of an hour or two? Would it be too curly or something?

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@xxlondonlovexx The best way to figure out what does and does not work for you is to experiment. You want to see what method produces the results you like. Either would work.

[harrah5]

I love your hair but I don't know how to do a freaking flat twist!! lol! I'll keep trying!

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@harrah5 Keep playing around with your hair and you'll get it in no time. I'm good with flat twists but struggle trying to do braids.

[TheLADYTEE2010]

your teeth are pretty.

[LoveChrissiPoo]

very nicce

[GwendolynRaine]

You're married?? How old are you? You don't look old enough :))))

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@GwendolynRaine Yep... been married for almost about a year and a half now... I'm 26.

[xxlondonlovexx]

how long did you leave them in?

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@xxlondonlovexx It really varies. Since the hair is already dry it's not about the drying time, but however long it takes your hair to set. I like to leave them in for an hour or two... at the very least. It's easy to do your hair first, then continue getting dressed and doing whatever else you want to do around the house while they set.

[wishywashygirl19]

i love sweated out hair, im 20 and my hair has been natural but always alittle thin, thats the best way to make bantu knots.

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@wishywashygirl19 I gave bantu knots a few tries when I was transitioning. I like the dry twists because they kinda give a similar look.

[shesobreezy]

Dang that was cute are you relaxed or natural ?

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@shesobreezy Natural.

[fattie8701]

dear lord what do u use for your skin...geez its soo beautiful!

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@fattie8701 Thanks! I use the "No Zit Sherlock" line by Bliss. You can find it @ Sephora.

[fattie8701]

@sixtwentysevenblog thank you!!!!

[PamiWithLove]

How do you maintain the style the following days

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@PamiWithLove I don't typically try to maintain my styles numerous days, but if you wanted you could use a little of your preferred moisturizer, retwist the hair and throw some rollers on the ends at night.

[kasadeea]

love this video! it's super cute! i think I'm going to try it

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@kasadeea You should! It's a super easy way to make sweated out hair work...maybe rock it in between your salon visits.

[HalfBlackFilipino]

Adorable Chica :)

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@HalfBlackFilipino Thank you :)

[supersunny215]

pretty! Love the hair and you have such a sweet spirit :)

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@supersunny215 Thank you. I'm someone that's always talking about energy and stuff so it's nice to get a compliment like that.

[psean03]

nice brush, what brand was that. liked the style. thanks

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@psean03 That was one of the denman brushes they actually sell at Sally's. I don't remember the style # but I do know that it wasn't the one I see mentioned on a lot of natural hair sites. I didn't have the time to order online and I just grabbed this in the store for under $10. It really is something wonderful.

[Shemsa08]

you seem like such a sweet person...nice results

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@Shemsa08 Thank you

[GenesisNatural]

You're doing great making videos even though you're new at it. Love your hair, it looks so nice, shiny, and healthy.

[sixtwentysevenblog]

@GenesisNatural Thanks :)

[melodee105]

[sixtwentysevenblog]
