I was raised not to just wonder about people when they "randomly" pop into your head, but to pray for them. This was the case a few weeks ago with you, Danielle, and I am thrilled to see that you are well and that your hair is flourishing. All the best in 2024 and beyond, sis.

@vey5579 6 ай бұрын

Danielle, I’ve been following you since 2018, when I first began my natural hair journey. I was only 14 at the time and now I’ll be turning 20 in just a couple of days. I know this doesn’t relate to the contents of the video very much, but I wanted to thank you for being you. I grew up in an environment where anyone who liked anything from the “black norm” was ostracized or called weird. Seeing a black girl/woman be herself and unapologetically showcase her interests was so amazing for me as I developed. You are so beautiful and important and integral. Love you lots 💕

@latonyanewsome0 6 ай бұрын

Yes I'm getting frustrated with my hair as well mostly because of life, but I can't let it get to me. I also agree with her being who she is. I'm weird like her and it's nice to see someone who's not afraid of it.

@comoelitamelendez8467 5 ай бұрын

THIS MESSAGE^^^ All my life, felt like I have to feed into the "Black girl" stereotype...big butt, nice hair, glowing skin, not brown[never felt light enough or dark enough] and though at 35 I am still learning to love myself for who I am, I can say I have let go of the "perfect hair" dreams. I have balding in the front of my hair, so challenging for me to hide it and its like the first thing you see. I just pray that we can move past this, that not only men deal with hair loss issues, women do as well even though its not "medically" or "socially" expected, it happens and we should not be made to feel subhuman bc of it. Thank you for this comment! It's helped more people than you realize! 🤍

@nilawarriorprincess 6 ай бұрын

Im so glad to see you back! I have Sickle Cell so I totally understand how stress affects ones body. I really struggle with hair setbacks when I'm having a crisis. Hopefully I lve finally figured out how to preserve my hair when I can't take care of myself. Odd side note: You should be cast as Kyle Barker & Maxine Shaw's daughter if Living Single is ever rebooted. You not only resemble them physically, but I believe they'd rause a child like you, who is proud to be Black & is an artistic, educated, free spirit..

@EpicRealistTV 6 ай бұрын

OMG you're so right about the Living Single thing! I knew she resembled someone, I just could never put my finger on it. I totally agree! And Maxine is my crush in that show. 😊

@nilawarriorprincess 6 ай бұрын

@EpicRealistTV Yes, I was trying to place her too, as she always felt familiar. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can imagine it. They're all so beautiful.

@marleyhill34 5 ай бұрын

I'm a thalessemia carrier and at this stage I want to shave it off and spend the time, money and mental energy on something else that I'm not genetically predisposed to lose every time I feel stressed. Stress is a normal part of life but no one normalises hair loss.

@nilawarriorprincess 5 ай бұрын

@marleyhill34 That's very true. There's so much of an obsession with hair in the Black community that people rarely offer compassion to those dealing with hair loss or other hair issues. So many choose to judge 1st. I wish you the best possible outcome on your health & hair journey. I hope you can find a solution that makes you feel confident & exquisite.

You posted this video right when I needed to see it! I’m getting so frustrated with my hair, but your video really made me take a moment and see that hair has its own ebbs and flows and it will be ok. I also wanted to say I got to meet you at momocon this past year and honestly, it impacted me so much. Thank you for being so sweet!! I genuinely lit up when I saw you walk past me and despite my social anxiety, I forced myself to walk up to you because I couldn’t give up the opportunity to tell you how much your content has helped and positively impacted me. It’s lovely to see other nerdy black girl in a space when you feel so alone. So thank you! ♥️

@meh3766 6 ай бұрын

Have you thought about changing the order of your hair care? Like if you are doing a wash and go and you start by placing product on the sides of your hair, start at the crown instead? I noticed that my crown is drier, so it needs more attention while it's wetter instead of allowing it to dry out while I'm paying attention to other areas first. For some reason, spraying it down just isn't the same as caring for it fresh out the shower.

I've been here since 2019 and Fluff Nugget has definitely come a long way 💜 I've learned I have tension alopecia due to so many protective styles(braids) and me pulling my hair back for work 😬 So now I have a mohawk but I'm glad I learned about a lot of oils from you and have a guide to my hair growth. Thank you so much for helping me through my loose natural hair journey 🤗 I'm officially locced now but I will always stay tuned just for black hair care content and to support another nerdy black woman! Keep going and overcoming 🥰💖✨️

@Marinlss 6 ай бұрын

I also got a unintentional mohawk last year, I don't have traction alopecia (yet) but my hair is very fragile and decided to break in half when I decided to love my own hair and started doing some very basic natural hairstyles for the first time in my life. It's so nice finding other people with the similar hair so I don't feel alone, unfortunately 4 type hair is SO DIFFICULT to deal with, I never feel like it's happy
