Intro- Watch my hair grow

Hi! This is Tiki with intheTikiLounge. Been a YouTube fan for a while but new to making videos. Wanted to share my hair journey with whoever would like to watch. I'm actually 8 years natural, kept it short for the last 3 years and I am now deciding to grow it out. My hair growth challenge is just a personal goal but feel free to join me! Hope you enjoy!

Funny, you sound like I did when I was your age. Please trust me and believe that I am old enough to know all about internalizing myths from racist white supremacy as well as internalizing myths from bigoted non-whites.

@DrYenta Yes, it is easier to maintain natural hair. This white mom doesn't know how to take care of African hair. For whatever reason she is making it more complicated than need be. Conditioner cowashes take 5 minutes. Moisturize than put their hair in a cute outdo, using stockings(cut) or scrunchies. At night all she needs to do is twist in 8 twists and moisturize. All this takes is 20 minutes in total. Perms damage the scalp and destroys beautiful African hair. They are not easy to maintain.

@aetl100 yes, it is. I have African coily hair. After my workouts, I run in the shower,condition it, pat dry, put moisturizer in my hair,and I'm done:-) at night, I put around 8 to 10 big twists in my hair and I moisturize the ends. I wrap in a scarf. I get up in the morning untwist my hair and Im good to go. All this takes is about 20 minutes total. Please stop believing and internalizing myths from racist white supremacy.

@told85 Really? I wish you would tell my hair that. I've been maintaining my African hair for over 50 years and helping my daughter til she was 16. She didn't think it was easy. Having to spend time maintaining her hair instead of being outside with friends. I've been wearing a short afro (the length of the young woman doing this video) for more than 30 years. The hair texture decides if it's easy to maintain or not.

@told85.....is it easier to maintain natural hair as opposed to processed hair? My friend (a White mom who adopted three Black kids) spends two or three hours a week on her daughters hair because she says this is what's necessary to properly wash, comb, oil and braid it. Daughters hair is natural. This seems time consuming to me. Is it?

you are very pretty

@DrYenta African hair is easy to maintain.
