@20britty tease the hair underneath or roller set it/french braid it the night before and brush it out to give it some volume. Your bangs would be cute pinned back, making a cute hump in the front. :)
Hi Nikkimae, your turban style is so cute on you however, every time I try it, I end up looking. like Aunt Jaimama or Tupac Shakur! What am I doing wrong?
I loved the way that you showed us how to put on and tie the turban on your hair. It looked simple and even alittle fun to do. I think that I will try it myself as a different look for my natural hair. Thanks:-)
@beneathyourlove Lots of women with straight hair are rocking this style right now. Look up Nicole Richie or Kourtney Kardashion to get started. Also don't forget Rosie the Rivioter who also wore a turban like style.
:D!! My hair is E X A C T L Y like yours!! I've been doing this natural hair journey for the past two weeks and although I haven't started from a 'Big Chop', it's still definately been a challenge. But after today, I've realised, YAYYYY i have found my hair partner lol <3! I hope that by doing what you've done for you natural hair journey, my hair will grow out as much as yours has :D Your hair is so beautiful, I hope mine will be like that one day too <3
I hav been watching ur vids 4yrs... Every time I c another 1of ur vid, it ALWAYS mak me thnk n remember watching ur big chop! OMG dat stylist was hilarious, her n ur mom. Idk how I remember ur BC so well but I do. I luv da turban idea also
I LOVE YOUR HAIR ^^ it's so curly and beautiful! my hair is curly too but due to damage and lack of proper care the pattern has changed :( I'm not allowed to cut my hair EVER but I'm doing my best to take care of it now and your videos are so helpful so thank you so much
Whoaaa when the camera switched to tutorial at 1:08 u so resembled Esperanza Spalding cool! Loving that hair- looking at it is making me impatient for mine to catch up urghhh!
AAAHHHHHH!!! I have total hair jealousy!! LOL I absolutely love your hair and you were one of my influences! =) June 2 was my one month post big chop and I made my first vid!! Check it out =)
@jopmaseh Wow, could you at least tried to not sound like a straight up and down hater. Your comments just scream " gawd, i frigging hate myself! but i hate people who are happy,and confident in there own skin even MOAR!!!1111!!1". please keep your self loating to yourself.
u know what girlie i really love your videos. i big chopped about a month ago and its hard to find styles with a twa. alot of times i just wanna give in and get some braids but when i look at your videos(older ones) you give me courage to hang in there. alot of people that make these videos just skip their twa phase. but you wore your twa proudly. you found out how to take care of your hair and ive actually used alot of the products you have. thanks thanks thanks for inspiring me!!!
with summer right next door ... maybe you could give us more OOTDs ... i have always loved your style and wanted to know where you get those chic outfits you wear to events and shows.
thank you, i always wondered how that was done, lol...are you able to demonstrate how to tie a scarf so it looks as if there is a chignon sitting at your nape???
Sweet! Thank you so much for being so specific! This is my answer to hair resulting from days old twist-outs! I'll be trying this out ASAP! It's also good to know that you have a twitter, I really enjoy your tricks and tips.
This is really cute! I enjoy wearing a scarf on my natural hair especially when I'm having a "bad hair day". Now, I can wear this style any day! Thanks for sharing the technique that you learned and it was great that you asked for help.
your hair -amazing,skin-glowing,voice-musical,eyes-radiant...you could very easily be the prettiest lady i have seen.A natural beauty.keep up the good work and God bless you
Nikkimae you look super cute! Tip: when wearing head scarves, cover your hair with a satin scarf first to protect it then you can use whatever material you want. and if you have a TWA and want volume, layer and use more than one scarf
I'm not allowed to wear head scarves where I work. Can you do a tutorial on quick hairdo's for the work atmosphere when you are having a bad hair day?
Thanks for this tutorial. I have a collection of thrifted scarves that I could not figure out how to wrap on. This is exactly the look I had in mind! Your skin looks great by the way!
OMG!!!! My momma used to tie my hair up like this when I was younger after she rolled my hair up in sponge rollers!!!! Girl, she had tons of rollers in my head!!!LOL!!! This is another reason I love being natural because we can style our hair any way we want. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEY! So I don't know if you have this problem but my hair does NOT hold a style... by the end of the day it swells to a puffy mess! How do I keep my twist outs defined so I can have "second day hair"? I've tried holding curls... and it might last most of the day... but def not good for second day. Does that make sense? Help ... if you can... Please!
Thanks for this video. I've been wearing scarves on days that I'm not ready to wash my hair, yet it does not need to be completely out. Lol. You've given me a great new style. Love the buying your own fabric tip
I love it.....thank you...I'm sending the link to my sister and her daughter she has been natural for years now so they have the big hair to pull this off... me myself I'm a newbie..transtioning since Dec 2010...sooooooo
omg you look like beyonce on those 1st couple of pics.
