i love this vid. natural hair is alot of work. but i switch it up. i havent permed my hair since november. ive cut my hair bald twice  trying to go natural but this last time i dont think i can last. lol . i got 2 perms in my bathroom closet. lol

and OMG your sister sounds like nicki minaj lol :)

[amabelscorner]

@LADYBUG973 well if ur natural and you need your hair manageable then you might wanna try texturizing your hair or putting BKT this time. I don't like to stand in the way of anyone's natural hair journey but it's what I would do if I started from scratch

Is HER curly hair really dry? Cause you said curly hair is dry repeatedly, but all of the natural girls that I know love their hair because it is less dry than the relaxed version of their hair.

[amabelscorner]

@aayevents My sister has a hard time moisturizing her dry hair and I do not. Our hair is equally as dry however her hair is dry more often than mine because she has thick curly hair and everyday she needs to moisturize and style it and I don't. I moisturize, wrap it and don't have to do that for a week.

This Video was very funny...Natural hair is a lot of work... But its FLY when your in a crowd of women.. You just STAND OUT...

i have natural hair and its as far as im concerned much easier to manage than relaxed hair.relaxed hair number one is already damaged hair no matter what it looks like.no matter how shiny.it is broken down damaged.and thats coming from someone that was relaxed almost all my life.i just feel as though they are both different but natural hair is just in its element and styling is easier.but thats my personal experience :-)

Why does she have an accent and you dont?

[Dillz4Realz]

Amabel's relaxed hair looks drier...or is it just me? and also, those "tips" at the end were not really tips at all! they were just discouraging ppl from going natural..

[iLoveMySkin19]

Most people don't know how to take care of relaxed hair. And that's why it doesn't grow. I've had my natural hair til high school then got a relaxer and my hair was still growing because I knew how to take care of it with no vitamins needed...now I'm letting my relaxer grow out because I want my curls back. Bt when I had a relaxer it was way easier cuz all I had to do was wash and blow dry

[fanatic709]

@aayevents did your natural friends take care of their relaxed hair like they take care of their natural hair? bc a healthy relaxed journey is similiar to a healthy natural journey. regular washing, moisturize&seal, co washing, deep conditioning & on & on. i think some blame relaxers for not growing or keeping hair when they should have taken a look @ what they did. did they have to relax @ the 1st sign of new growth, avoid water at all cost? that stuff adds up to unhealthy hair.

[NiKKey411]

Natural hair is hella work and sometimes I dont even look fresh but on the days that I do and get complimented on it...makes it all worth it.

BTW I'm 12%kinky curly and 88%Kakalon arrrrgh!

... umm.. did you say water dries out your hair??

You may need to do some research and revise that statement

[TigerLiillyy]

water doesnt dry out your hair 0.o

[jackalo34]

@EIGHTY7ISH i agree LOL waster def does NOT dry your hair out…come on water is universal moisture

[RawGlam]

BTW, the vid is cute ^_^

[EIGHTY7ISH]

lol @ water dries your hair out.

Water is MOISTURE it doesnt dry your hair out.

The only reason why her hair is dry is because she doesnt SEAL the moisture in.

Her hair is pretty tho & this video was crazy funny.
