love seeing more mixed girls love their 4c hair

I agree with people. People do the most with natural hair and need to keep it simple.

“Don’t live your life around your hair.” I couldn’t agree more!! Keep shining chica!

Probably one of the best Afros I've seen -- really reminds me of Angela Davis and Katheleen Cleaver's afros back in the day. Love the shape!

your afro is literally perfect 😍

Continue to do what works for u. Keeping ur hands out of ur hair may be why you have such growth. Orange is your color.

Life Quotes: -I love shea butter -I ain't got 2 hours to drip dry -... I don't even use half that shit -... suffocates my hair, my time, my soul Preach!!! 💃👏🙌🙌👏💃

Finally, found someone who keeps it simple with the hair routine like me...just wash and go , no stretching, no blow drying , etc... morning routine consist of spritz with aloe juice ; shake and go... always get compliment and questions ( do you could your hair everyday?) Answer: No just Spritz, shake and go! I love it... so simple. 😀👩👊

I agree, simplicity is key! Side note: your hair does not look like a dirty Q-tip or Brillo pad. Just dense & compact(ed). + > -

Your right joy el, keep it simple i think 4C hair thrives the most on wash and goes. Meaning it loves water and conditioner

Today I’ve decided I’m gonna cut off my relaxed ends during my winter break! I’m so excited yet scared, but watching you makes me feel better. :)

You are so right. I keep my routine simple. I think a lot of naturals give up because they think that they have to do so much to their hair.

Kinda late. But I agree. Some of these videos are just so much. If you're using 10 products 8 of those are probably not doing a damn thing.

Us 4c biracial girls gotta stick together

Keep coming back to see the fro grow and to see the always beautiful make-up😊

I may want to try whipping your shea butter. Melt it in a double boiler or put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Put in a blender or whip with a spoon. Mix with an oil to maintain consistency.

I prefer whipped Shea butter. It’s really easy to make. Naptural85 has a good recipe video.

This was soo needed. I just big chopped about 2 days ago

When orange compliments your skin so well there’s no such thing as going over board 😍

You don’t know how refreshing it is to see someone sporting their actual natural hair. Not natural + (fill in the blank) super cute and chic definitely setting a new standard for me and for beauty 💕❤️

Omg your hair has grown so much!! So exciting to follow your journey! 😘😘 P.S a quick tip, as your hair grows longer you so should try to work in sections, it helps with the tangles, I am also lazy ahahaha but it reduces the wash time. Again it is better when you get longer hair for now i dont think is a fully necessary step. Sending love from Portugal PT💕💕

Your hair literally makes me happy

This is my fave video of your hair care segment. I was spending so much time trying to manage my hair daily and on wash day, so much so that I was tired of being natural. But I love my natural hair, I don’t want to give up on it. When I came across this video of yours I decided to try your easy, breezy method and, voila! My hair looks beautiful! It’s almost too easy and my hair loves it. I see you trying other methods and products in other videos. Guess you’re exploring to see what else is out there that your hair might like. But I’ve been there, done that already, just looking for an easier way to manage my hair. I’ve complicated this thing unnecessarily for so long. As my hair gets longer I’m sure I will need to tweak my method a bit but I’ll still keep it simple. Thank you, Sharmaine!

I love your routine, I do worry though that in not sectioning you aren't getting the products to the length of your strands? I get the lazy thing, it does take a little longer but actually you only need 4 sections, put product on and squelch the hair so the product moves through. At the end of the day what works for you works. I just don't want you to get 6 months down the line and find you're suffering breakage or dryness as a result of not sectioning.

Sweet and beautiful young lady, your videos have literally saved my natural hair. Thank you so much for sharing your natural hair journey and tips with us!

I loooove this routine, I prefer to go under the shower rather than use a spritz bottle. Great video!

First timer here and I must say that I love your spirit! You had me over here nodding my head in agreement. I’ve been natural for some years now and it is refreshing to see someone who loves their hair and takes care of it, but yet not take their hair so seriously with the 50-11 products and 90 min nighttime routine lol (I kid, but you know what I mean). Great video!

Your videos are still LIFE. I just did my 2nd big chop a few days ago. Now I'm back to a TWA from shoulder length.

If your not a fan of the white cast Shea butter leaves you can buy Alaffia or Everyday use shea lotion. It has all the benefits without the cast and you can use it on your whole body.

I love the color orange. Looks good on you. Your hair looks good as is. I want to wear my hair that way.

I love your hair texture!!! It leaves me with a good channel that matches my hair texture with out unrealistic expectations🌹

I love your attitude about your hair! I appreciate how simple your hair routine is. It's proof that going natural doesn't require a great big production every day. Thanks for your wonderful videos😃❤️

You are so right about a simple routine... I’ve been literally just using the Mane n Tail shampoo/conditioner, the Camille Rose deep conditioner and an oil mixture I bought on Etsy... the conditioner I use as a pretreatment (to detangle) and as a leave-in and my hair is growing and getting thicker... Love your positivity and your energy 💚💛💜

blend your shea butter (add extra oils if you want) to make it whipped. it will make it easier to melt and apply in your hair. I have a premade batch for the winter i havent touched yet :) Also, I remember my new phase (Im a very lazy natural - only wear my hair out and in high puffs)- i felt the same as you....however once you get more length you will notice you need to do things a little different each phase. :) Sectioning is a must as your hair grows out

"Suffocates my hair, my time, my soul.." lmfao

I believe a lot of that over complication culture comes with the anxiety attached with the idea of not being presentable. Many Black/Biracial women have been conditioned to believe that appropriate for us will always have to involve some sort of manipulation in order to assimilate. I myself am learning to release this mentality...and I've been wearing my natural hair for 16 years now. You've helped me ease my mind into the notion that my hair doesn't need to be twisted into submission in order for it to be an "appropriate style." Thank you 😁🖤

I feel that struggle of washing hair. Although I have wavy hair. But your hair is so beautiful! You are so beautiful & I find your accent so good!💞😘

For the Shea Butter, get a whipped version, it'll absorb much easier

One brush I use to detangle when I didn't feel like using my fingers was a shampoo brush. I found it randomly at the drugstore for $1. It has different lengths of teeth that are pretty flexible. It's black with a ring handle on the back. Also I recommend peppermint oil because it's very penetrating, even for low porosity. I put it in my shampoo, and then also use it to seal when I choose to moisturize throughout the week.

Love the video and your statement about simplifying everything. I think that's best as well so I will say this one to refer back to cuz I need to look at your morning routine again! Beautiful hair as always!

Best best advice. KISS. She is the first biracial chick I have seen with this hair. Wow. I am subscribed

Love your delivery. Yes KISS. You’re my favorite!

Great tips.I like that you don’t use a lot of products it’s slimmed down to just what’s really needed.Simple really is best!!

I loved this video. I follow the same routine and I am not lying when I say this my hair has gotten thicker and longer since the summer. My hair is growing due to wash and gos. I use a tee shirt to blot my hair and then I either throw it in a puff or wear it down. I’ve been on the hunt for that Tressume Bontinque I can’t find it anywhere but I’m got going to stop looking for it tho. Thanks for sharing

I agree with you on people doing the most im also a little lazy with the hair😊

Do you do your wash n go routine every morning? If you're looking for a way to uncompact your hair in the morning, take your shower as normal and let the steam from the shower add moisture to your hair. Then use your damp hands to fluff your hair.

Enjoyed how you narrated and included visual clips to help explain your narration. Thumbs up.

I'm with you; the simpler the better❣️

The Orange looks fabulous!

U r so pretty and so is your hair #natural beauty 💜

I love you! Omg you're gorgeous! Thank you for embracing who you are! Your message in this video is loud and clear, and it means so much to me. Keep being great girl!

I have low porosity hair too but its protein sensitive so i cant use certain ingredients like coconut or aloe vera.

I agree I like simple and consistent routines in order to make being natural work for me

This is wonderful! You are an inspiration

Your fro is so cute, thank you for sharing your routine🤗

I've been natural for 8 years now and wish I never started using relaxers or straightening my hair. I agree, a person has to find which products works well on their hair & run with it (by the way I'm 4c hair type). I use several items for softening & sheen "Blue Magic Bergamot Hair & Scalp Conditioner", "Dr. Miracle's Daily Moisturizing Lotion", and "Bigen Polishing Serum". For washing & conditioning my hair I use: "Creme of Nature Straight from Eden Shampoo", "Garnier Fructis Conditioner for Dry Damaged Hair", "Creme of Nature Leave-In Conditioner", "Jane Carter Solution Natural Twist Out Foam", & "Dryfast Concentrated Setting Lotion". It's a lot of products but it works for me. Oh, I just started using (3 new products to my regiment) "Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie w/Silk Protein & Neem Oil Moisturize & Curl Define for Thick, Curly Hair", "Isoplus Styling Gel" and/OR "Wet Line Super Look Extreme Hold". Whew and that's it (LOL)!!!

shea butter is great for hair is makes my hair so soft and keeps it moisturized for over a week. and at nnight i do the banding method you should check it out if you dont kno what it is. if you like a fluffy afro look then the banding method can help you achieve that but do what works for you im just giving ideas. it's super quick and easy to do and keeps your fro from being smushed in the morning.

Love it, keep it simple 👍🏾

I agree my night routine is verrrrrry simple. Pineapple and scarf....maybe an oil if it feels super dry.

I have low porosity hair and the hot water really makes a difference with keeping in moisture in my hair

Hi you should try a steamer with your hair! You look awesome btw!😍

Yess keep it simple lol. But I think people just focuses more so on how it looks. Trying to achieve something that it’s just not meant to do.

I'm so excited about your journey! you're beautiful, your hair is beautiful and your make-up is beautiful! I love how real and honest you are. I have low porosity hair, I'm on the fence about buying the "do it fro the culture line" but because you recommended it, I'm gonna try it!👍🏽🙂

Love your hair, it shapes your face in a way that straight hair doesn't.

I don’t even put oil, I just put the bonnet on and go to sleep. 😂

Well said Joy-el :)

Love you energy your beautiful 😍💞 Try a braid out and try to also work in four sections Aussie 3 minute moist deep conditioner really helps to soften the hair

I’m low porosity and I use hot water.

O. M. G. Why am I only now finding you??!! I am not biracial but our hair is similar! Also I do not have the luxury of putting on loads of products in my hair and waiting for it to dry or sitting under a hooded dryer. My hair is type 4, low porosity, dense and coarse so it takes FOREVER to dry if there are too many products on it. New subbie here!

Love your personality and simplicity. ❤

Subscribed because you’re not obsessed with definition

Orange is definitely your color! I wish my hair had that round shape. My hair is kind of a triangle and it require a bit of work but it’s a labor of love. Keep doing what your doing❤️

Yesss finger detangling is key.💕

I agree, keep your hair simple and your life.

Finally my hair twin.

My little sister does the big shake too! When your hair gets really long you need to be careful because you could give yourself whiplash! My big problem was my hair would never dry, so wash n go’s were a no go. I hated it. I had a ton of braid styles so I only had to wash my hair every few weeks. Also my thick heavy hair pulling tight to my head was so uncomfortable.

I feel like you would love a whipped shea butter. When I first went natural I applied raw shea to my hair regularly, but I really disliked the hardness and smell. I've recently started using shea again, whipped. I added a few essential oils (for smell) and coconut oil and I love it! Also I don't know if you work out but after the gym the shea butter used to smell so bad. It's easy to frequently wash your hair when you're in the twa stage but once it starts to grow, it's just annoying!

You could play Dorothy Dandridge in a movie, you favor her a lot, you would just have to put brown contacts in, that's it

i highly recommend you to use more oil and extract based products from what ive seen on my self it makes hair 10 times healthier

Your hair texture adds to your undeniable beauty! Love from Germany ❤️

AMAZING LOOKING, VERY EXOTIC LOOKING, YOU SHOLD TRY TO GET INO MODELING ASAP. BLESS UP

Lol your videos are funny in a very good way. You keep it real. But your methods are very good that you do for your hair. I will definitely incorporate some. I am also lazy I barely part my hair because I too am lazy. :) I can tell your hair is definitely growing in each video. Also the orange is nice. Thanks and keep posting.

I know I'm late but.. Absolutely beautiful! Simplicity is key

I have 3b on the sides......and 4c on the crown.

U made me learn a little sum about mixed girls ,i thought mixed girls curls were looser wig a combo of mom and dad hair textures

I was waiting for this video loved it! ❤️

You are so adorable!!!!! And pretty as well!!!

WONDERFUL TIP for EASY detangling is DISPOSABLE gloves, even the ones used for food preparation works AMAZINGLY well, as you can find them at most grocery stores/Walmart for just a dollar or two a bag! I keep them in my bathroom RELIGIOUSLY and even for applying my products out of the shower as well. After using gloves, you will NEVER go back to using your fingers, TRUST me! And you are pulling hardly NOTHING out as far as hair loss. :)

Would you ever consider doing some box braids for protection or have you never braided your hair before? I saw some chin length jumbo braids that would look amazing on you

Yes keep it simple

I’m biracial like you and natural. I like to keep my routine simple also. The most I’ll do is finger coil my hair to get extra definition. And I use two products. The less I have to do the better. I used to be a natural with ten million products.

I’m thinking of cutting my fro a little shorter. It has really grown!!

Maybe you could try Shea nut oil to avoid the white cast from the butter.

yeah i finget detangle now too

you look great in all that orange. Why do you wash your hair every day though ? I've never seen that before.

3:02 that's literally my face too when I detangle my hair with my fingers 😩😩😅😅 it's quite uncomfortable but necessary and easier than a comb🤭🤭🦄

Love your whole look, your hair is same as mine. How often do you actually use shampoo? Have you ever tried clay? It is great as a detox, some use it as a cleanser too xx

Has anyone here used mango butter before? What was your experience with it? Im curious to try it but I'm not sure if it will be worth it.

i was only half listening to this then i realised u were dropping some game. had to put my phone down and rewind

I found my hair twin!!
