  • I usually sit under the dryer 30-40 minutes.

  • can i ask u something? how long do u stay under the dryer? and im sorry to hear about your dryer, hun. I kno the feeling ;)

  • Your baby died? Awww. I feel ya. My curling iron died in mid-use once. Your hair looks great, doll. :))

  • Ive use Giovannio products . I mix shampoo wit a little water,and the leave in a mix with aleo vera juice .this works for me !!!

  • Yeah the Giovanni leave in is pretty creamy and thick; I typically use it for braid outs and when I'm air drying. But really a little goes a long way with the Giovanni leave in; at first I didn't like it either but when it got colder I went back to it and was like mm good stuff. :) Maybe you should try a liquid/spray leave-in; if you want to get into using leave ins. My hair likes creamy leave ins for braid outs and liquid leave ins for straight hair.

  • @musicluvsme18 I absolutely love the giovonni deep conditioner - it is now a permanent part of my conditioning collection! I'm not a fan of ANY leave ins...I just tried it for the new year! lol I don't like anything creamy in my hair...I gravitate to oils (coconut, grapeseed & olive).

  • Gold N Hot products last a long time. I have a hard hooded dryer that has lasted for 19 years so far.

  • @JNixAda77 Wow...19 years!!!! Certainly had me beat! I purchased gold & hot's new version and hated it! I returned it the next day and I love my new Caral dryer!

  • I love your hair! Very beautiful!!

  • I love your videos BTW. I feel like I'm kicking in your home. I wanted to know if I condition and trim my hair. Will my hair keep grOwn if I just tie it up? Im sick of TWO STRAND TWISTS.

  • @UPCLOSENMAKEUP Sure...I don't see why it wouldn't?

  • You mentioned you liked Keracare's conditioner, have you ever tried Humecto? It was my top conditioner for my hair when it was relaxed. It has cones, but it worked wonders on my tangles. It is a bit pricey but I still use it occasionally( i go through most of the bottle each time I use it). I am currently using Suave Professionals: Almond and Shea Butter shampoo & conditioner. It cost about $3.00 for a 32oz. bottle in Walmart and works really well

  • @ThickNCurly1 Girl I LOVE humecto!! l also end up using the whole bottle on my hair with just one use (maybe two). Target stopped selling Kera care conditioners about 6 months ago I noticed. Target was the only place I could buy Kera Care products for under $15. I think Amazon (which is were I will probably end up buying it) sells Kera Care for $21 plus shipping in handling - that SUCKS!! LOL

  • Coconut oil gives me life! I hove it as a pre-poo, hot oil treatment(1 of the only natural oils that can actually penetrated the hair shaft), to seal in moisture when I wear straight styles(its lighter than castor oil, which I love in winter months & with protective styles) I use it on my exzema in the summer months, I use it a a face moisturizer, I use it in my coconut cream hair relaxer/softener. I also use it enternally (promotes weight loss, only healthy saturated fat)

  • @ThickNCurly1 I've been using it as a make-up remover lately!

  • that coconut oil ain't nothin. some hair recipes call for coconut cream concentrate, i guarantee u will eat at least half of it! it's amazing! your hair just loves those cones! mine is hello hydration! add water to that gio or use every once in awhile to get a break from cones. better yet send it 2 me i've had no problems w/ it! hhj! u have beautiful hair by the way!

  • I know someone wrote to you that you use too much heat, but you know what? You're the only natural on YT that truly enjoys her hair and isn't afraid to cut when necessary. Plus, you really take care of it. Kudos to you!

  • hi you can sometimes get the giovanni products from marshalls for 12.99 for the LITER i go every other week to check an load up i also found that my hair LOVES the smooth as silk better as a leave in that the goivanni direct leave in the ingredients are natural so its cool and serves a double purpose i just as coconut oil to the cond (or olive oil) and sit under the dryer rinse the re apply the cond as a leave in

  • Comment removed

  • U are cool :) subbed!

  • Can you please tell me wht hair product from krecare you use to use for dry scalp. I have always had dry scalp, but my hair holds onto oil.. thank you....

  • you can actually cook with coconut oil. it helps with loosing weight. =)

  • I can't wait till your one month review of these products. =)

  • lmbo at the dryer. You have got to have a funeral for it! Great videos and you have beautiful hair! :-)

  • You should have used the Giovanni 50/50 shampoo....the one you used sort of strips the hair...I've been using it for years.

  • I love how you have great hair and you use average store brought products like gold and hot!!! Let's me know that you don't have to spend a fortune to have beautiful hair!!!

  • I dont know how  beautiful that's why I left my email address

  • My Yahoo is nasty_nitty@Yahoo.com

  • Sista can you contact me please

  • Thanks for sharing! I just got some coconut oil not to long ago. So, I'm definitely going to see how it works when I deep condition my hair.

  • @NaturalliBeautified

    Yes...it made my hair soft (not softer than grapeseed oil) but it was still soft!

  • I'm loving ur Flo beautiful

  • Girl!!!!!!!!!!! I love coconut oil. I usually leave it in after I deep condition. But I wanted to say, that I totally feel you on eating coconut oil! We've gone old school and make popcorn with it. I might be dating myself but back in the day at the movie theaters the kernels were popped in coconut oil-delicious! I'm lactose intolerant so I use coconut milk in my coffee. Coconuts are magical.

  • @imacdiva

    Magical is RIGHT!

    Its multi-purposeful!

    I love it more for eating! lol

  • I don't like the Giovanni products, my hair feels really dry after using them, Herbal essence works for me better.

  • @jenntopp1 The conditioner was actually pretty good, but they don't give you much in the bottle!

    I use ALOT of conditoner and more than half the bottle was gone with just one use!

  • @jenntopp1 I just start using Herbal Essence. I hope it works well for my hair!

  • Happy New Year!

    You have a great voice..

  • Oh my...that dryer lmao :)

  • LOL!!!!! Your dryer. I love it. I am glad it wasn't a roller set. :) I have a gold n hot hood dryer that I have had for seven years. Thanks for the vid. Up to this point I thought a hot oil condish meant you had to heat the oil. Don't laugh. 

  • LOL! yeah you were loyal to that dryer!!! LOL!!!! But I can't laugh too much because Im the same way with anything that I use because I will take care of it and use it to the motor in it goes dead! LOL!!!

  • @iamaksd

    True me...if that hose didn't break at the entrance of the dryer (as oppose to the middle) I would have duck taped that sucker up and keep it movin! LOL

  • @SistaWithRealHair

    LOL!!!!! Yeah, I hear ya! :)

  • Is there a difference in using a specific type of olive oil? There are a varieties of olive oil. Just asking. I have coconut oil. Coconut oil is good. I have heard alot of good health benefits for coconut oil.

  • @iamaksd

    Olive oil is olive oil to me...I don't think it matters too much!

  • Not sure if you got my message. But Happy New Year 2 u as well. Thank God and God bless you. Its another year and another year to move forward and change for the better. Look forward to seeing more of your great vids. :0)

  • That dryer!! lol! I agree, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it!"

  • @AfroMohawkable

    You know that's my motto! LOL

  • We're turning you into a product junkie! It's good that you can tell right away what you like and what you don't. I love EVCO to death!

  • @EbonyCPrincess

    Now see...you're gonna make me wanna try it! LOL

  • Be carefull with Giovanni products because if you look at the ingredients it contains protein and protein tends to make the hair feel dry

  • @rizeuse

    Yeah...that's what made my hair hard...I try to avoid products with protein!

    I didn't read the lable prior to using it (my fault) just went with it based on peoples personal views/reviews...lesson learned.

  • @rizeuse

    Yup...I found out after the fact!

  • that shampoo ust have been something like a clarifying shampoo. i dont like when my hair gets stripped like that. great video, i def want to try this coconut oil treatment

  • @poppalovesme Yes...the coconut oil made my hair really soft!

  • I use to use creme of nature shampoo religiously until I tried the Shea Moisture-Moisture Retention Shampoo (in the gold/yellow bottle)....it feels like conditioner in my hair and it's never dry or stripped after.....and keracare humecto is my favorite conditioner :)

  • @jasmine2g3 Those are my favorite products...I've also saw channels with girls raving about the shea moisture shampoo as well!

  • Coconut oil is AWESOME, more than Olive oil because it has a higher heat tolerance (~450 deg i believe) and more protective and moisturizing properties so go with that since you flat iron your hair. Olive oil, after ~170 deg, breaks down so no longer protects your hair. It seriously is the best from heat and because of its small molecular size, it actually penetrates the hair shaft whereas olive oil doesn't cause it is too big. Happy New Year!!! Thank you for your videos!

  • @abawitx Thank you for that info...that's good to know!

  • I love your curl pattern

  • @memejanielle85 thank you! :-)

  • We used to have that same dryer lol. I'm pretty sure my mom still has it. They really do last forever!

  • @TraNaturally foooooever girl! LOL

  • U should eat a tablespoon of coconut oil daily, its great internally for ur hair and skin, as it is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and ant-viral and also helps cut appetite. Eating coconut oil daily is 1 of my 2012 resolutions, u can make cinnamon toast with it or put in fruit smoothies its delicious!

  • @Yakiniful

    I have heard alot of good things about Coconut oil.

  • @Yakiniful a tablespoon...I wanted to eat the whole jar! LOL

    I didn't know coconut oil had all thos benefits, but all long as consuming a tablespoon a day doesn't contribute to high cholesterol...I'd like to try taking it internally as well!

  • I love that you wanna eat the coconut oil :)

    I do that all the time lolol :)

    LOL @ your drier!

    That is RIDE OR DIE FOR REAL!!!

    10 years is AWESOME :)

    HAPPY NEW YEAR HUN!!!

    <3 <3 <3

    Simply Natural Ideas

  • @RochelleHansonMusic

    LOL...I actually did take eat a little more...that stuff is good...not too sweet!

    I've tried it in my coffee and it was delicious!!

  • @SistaWithRealHair YES! IT IS!!! I'm not into coffee but I have a WHOLE TON of coconut and coconut oil recipes on my simply natural ideas blog lol. You would probably LOVE the coconut squares <3 Oh mercy they are TO DIE FOR!!!! LOLOLOL <3

  • Your hair is so cute curly!!! Can't wait to get all the relaxer out of mine. Happy new year!

  • @Lovelyforlife1 Thank you babe! :-)

  • Did you wash the coconut oil out?

  • @blackrraine

    Nope...I didn't!

    I left it all in and my hair is REALLY greasy!

    I've since rewashed my hair and didn't use as much coconut oil!

    I did a video...just haven't uploaded it yet!

  • I don't care for the Giovanni smooth as silk shampoo either but I do love the conditioner. You're right the original creme of nature was the only shampoo that i could detangle with while washing.

  • @blackrraine

    I've tried the conditioner (I ended up rewashing my hair- I put too much coconut oil in) and I LOOOOOVE the conditioner! I think I've found a new conditioners...its just that good!!

  • Your hair is gorgeous so continue to do what has worked for you for the last 10 years. I tried the whole sulfate free, natural shampoo thing and I didn't like it either. My regimen is similar to yours and my hair is thriving. I love your videos!!

  • @MrsHaseeb214 Sulfate/ sulfate free..who cares...as long as it gets my hair clean...you know? I never knew there was a difference until I joined youtube! lol

  • Happy New Year! FYI, as far as I know, you can take products (your shampoo) back to that store and return them even if you have used it. You must have your receipt.

  • @pamelabx I was thinking about doing that, but I used half the bottle just trying to get it to lather! Might be kinda ghetto to return half a bottle of shampoo, but I might try anyway! lol

  • Really nice! I have the same style dryer, nice to see I do not need a big ole professional one to get salon results

  • @pincurled Nope, as long as it blows out hot air...that's all I care about - it doesn't have to be anything fancy!

  • Girl you really believe in "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" LOL Happy New Year! Looking forward to more vids from you!

  • @WeirdGirlParadigm

    Now I do more than ever! LOL

  • Happy New Year....nice vid and may your hair dryer rip!!!

  • @Tiffronee

    Lol...thanks! Happy New year to you as well! 

  • @Tiffronee

    I've aleady replace her! LOL

  • I love the Giovanni Line. I told my best friend to get it--she hated it. Hahaha! Everybody's hair takes to that product differently (I wonder if it's about the protein).

  • @007newnew

    I gotta say...I was very displeased!

    Makes me not wanna try other products - especially when cream of nature & Kera Care/Mizani have worked so well for me over the years!

    I'm sticking with my staple products AND refrain from buying everything people promote on their channels!

  • OH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!

  • YOU HAIR IS SO PRETTY! IM GONNA LOOK FOR THE COCONUT OIL TO DO A DEEP CONDITION ON MY HAIR! I HAVE JUST GOT IN THE ROUTINE OF WASH AND CONDITIONING EVERY WEEK. RIP TO YOUR DRYER! I LOVE GOLD N HOT! I HAVE A GOLD N HOT FLAT IRON (CERAMIC) THAT I HAVE HAD FOR 4 YEARS AND IT STILL WORKS AS IT DID ON DAY ONE! LOL

  • @VANITYINSANITY119

    Happy new year darlin!!

    If you try the coconut oil, use very little...the stuff is very greasy and it keeps melting from my scap on to my face (can't stop my face from shining - I'm greasy)!

    I'm planning to rinse my hair later tonight...my hair left BIG oil spot on my pillow last night! LOL

  • @SistaWithRealHair Lol at the grease spot on your pillow. I immediately thought of Soul Glow from "COMING TO AMERICA" lol

  • @VANITYINSANITY119

    LOL...LOL

  • @VANITYINSANITY119

    LOL...

    That's EXACTLY what it looked like! haha

  • @SistaWithRealHair BHAHAHAHAHAHA TOO FUNNY!

  • Happy New Year...great vid!

  • @silkismoove

    Happy new year...thank you!

  • LOLOLOLOLOL!!! (to the dryer) Hahahahahaha!!! Youu are sooo funnnnny!!!!

  • Love the video as always!! lol

  • @TheKeemBee

    thanks a bunch!

  • Hair is gorgeous, and yes I love me some Gold N Hot. I have me a Gold N Hot flat iron and I swear by it!

  • @1crlu

    Yup!

    I'm definitely looking to purchase another one!

    Reasonably priced products that will stand the test of time - that's what I like!

  • You know you got your money's worth from that dryer! LOL. She lived a long purposeful life.

  • @ktf111111

    Giiiirl...I damn sure did!

    I'm not even mad about it because I used the helloutta of it! LOL

  • @BAMitsRuzi

    Ok babe...I'll check it out...thank you!

  • Be careful using the ful giovanni line, because everything on that line has protein in it

  • @CollegeBarbie

    I wasn't too happy with the shampoo, but I haven't had a chance to use the conditioner yet! I'll try it next month.

  • I just decided to go natural myself I haven't had a perm since June and having eczema myself is the worse especially in my scalp so I know those hot oil treatments are VERY important and keep my hair nice and moisturized...I'm still trying to find the products that works best for me.

  • @missjam01

    I've had eczema all my life, but never in my scalp until this year (strange), but YES my scalp looooves the hot oil treatments!

  • @SistaWithRealHair

    Yeah, that is strange. I have issues with my skin as well. I believe alot of this eczema and skin drying out also is due to what is in the water system such as Chlorine, fluoride and over time since our skin is our largest organ gets absorbed into our system and blood system. I have been going through it on and off over the years but the last few years its been good due to me using shea butter.

  • your hair is so pretty

  • @mslisha201021

    thank you!

  • by the way, i LOVE your hair!~

  • heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllll­lllllllllllllllllloooooooooooo­oooooooooo Sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year!!!!!!!.....my hair HATES coconut oil..it makes my hair tangle and my scalp sore and my hair falls out when i leave it in for more than 6 hours:(...if it's kept in briefly it's okay but long term and or often it's a no go...i'm glad to see you~

  • @Nickyloveslove Hmm, I think coconut oil does the same to me. I thought I was going crazy but I swear I lose more hair when I use coconut oil and my scalp becomes tender. Interesing. It does make my hair soft and and shiny though. Maybe I'll try Almond Oil. Darn.

  • @ktf111111

    I also heard to be careful not too use too much coconut oil. Check into that.

  • @Nickyloveslove

    I used WAY too much of it. I didn't rinse it out, but I took a damp towel and squeezed out some of the excess oil. I'm not sure what effects it will have on my hair (1st time using it in all) but so far, its ok, just REALLY greasy!

  • @SistaWithRealHair i get so excited when you make a video...you don't have to do any hair style because your hair curly is a Gorgeous style on it's own....when i first used coconut oil it was a lot as well...it was fine at first and then a couple days later my hair started to break..now if i leave it in over 6 hours or so i start to get sore and shed....the good thing is.they say coconut oil is one of the oils that penetrate into your hair shaft....i'm sad about your dryer~

  • @SistaWithRealHair .i TOTALLY agree with you as well i didn't like Giovani shampoo...i also didn't like the direct leave in....i use Pantene Moisture balance with the green top because it's so thick creamy and silky

  • @Nickyloveslove

    I actually didn't like the leave in either! I would return them, only I used half the bottle of shampoo already! lol

  • @SistaWithRealHair lollllllllllllllll....i recently bought this product and spent 17.99 EACH for the diva one conditioner, gel and the spray and dislike them all...ughhhhh...i just have to stick with what works and leave the rest alone lolllllll

  • @Nickyloveslove I though I was the only one this happens to. I think I'm allergic to coconut oil so I stopped using it completely.

  • Comment removed

  • LOVE UR FRICKING HAIR NEVA THOUGHT BOUT GOING NATURAL TILL I STARTED WATCHING U HONEY HAPPY NEW YEAR BOO
