I am excited to have you in my course! I am currently offering a holiday sale for women who are ready to make a change in their hair before the 2020 new year. You can email me at hello@powerinyourcurl.com for more info. And thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ whenever I create content my intention is that the message reaches exactly who it’s meant for so everything is working out in Divine timing 😌

Oh amazing! well it def worked for me^^

No one actually knows

Tena Defiant same sis, currently there and definitely agree, it suck that to l arm about natural hair you still have to go outside for knowledge

Tena Defiant oh wow

Wow seriously this has to change my goodness

What year did you take cosmetology? I ask because, up until about 5-10yrs ago the majority of black women were only interested in straight hair. For a lot of women, wearing out their natural hair simply wasn't an option (until of course we changed our mindsets in recent years). So I think that's why your cosmetology classes only taught about relaxed hair. If however your classes were more recent, then yeah, I agree with the other comments, it's time they changed their curriculum to include natural hair types.

I hate that this is a reality :(

I was told the same thing. I never went back.

Same

What was the biggest change that you made?

@@francenegayle3866 not brushing dry hair and washing it once a week

Why

supercakes09 I think you should do that, that’s actually a great idea

It's going to take work and even if it's not me, I at least want to ignite the spark.

@@supercakes09 How precisely will you do so?

@@nverted-dynamo it's going to be a process but hopefully it can come to fruition. #NoSeedsOfDoubtPlantedInThisSoil

I just started my natural hair Journey maybe about two and a half years ago I'm learning every day my hair now is about waistline but I'm still wanting to grow it another 4 inches and I figure it'll take me maybe about to 2 years and I am a older person so a woman so I know as you get older your hair grows slower but I've learned a lot because my head Journey started about two and a half years ago and they said it takes about five years to really grow you know a substantial amount of here and I'm saying ways lane or you know down to your tailbone and that's what I was going for down to my tailbone but it's a lot of work I don't believe in a natural hair community cuz we all don't live together I believe that we are women data trying to grow out hair and have healthy hair also so that we can keep it at the lengths that we wanted to be and keep it healthy because I've noticed around me that there are a lot of women that either you know maybe they have health challenges I don't know but I know a lot of them that I've known for a long. Of time they have had perms and a lot of dying and in a lot of damage and I don't know if they're on medication because I don't go there but a lot of them don't believe that they can grow hair so a lot of them have lox and that's okay but a lot of older women don't believe that they can grow here and I've learned I've learned and I'm so glad I learned because I'm maintaining my Lang there's a lot of women when you talk about oils and moisturizers they think it's for white people are Indian people but not for African Americans or black people they don't believe it oh that's not for me that's what Indian people and I move on you know and I do my thing but that wondering how did she get the length I get the line because I practice what I preach and I Don't Preach too much only to myself my children my girls but I want them to have healthy hair just like I took them to the dentist because I wanted them to have a healthy mouth and beautiful teeth I want them to have beautiful hair that'll last them from now until and it's very important because there's a lot of people out there that will sell sell you. Greens and Falls products so be careful know your hair

Enjoy the video

Lord have mercy, thank you!

Thank you Viv! I hope you are having a beautiful day 😌

Natural hair can be straight...it doesn't necessarily mean curly hair. However, I appreciate your thoughts and I too didn't know I had naturally curly hair until I was in my 40s.

I thought that too! Now I'm supper happy and comfortable with my 4a/4b hair 😊

@@ilaisicxza5266 I was simply making a distinction btwn natural hair and curly hair. They are not the same. Nor do black women own the term "natural hair".

@@ilaisicxza5266 ....so my point was that even if her hair was naturaly straight it would have been considered "natural" just the same as we curly girls refer to it.

@@ilaisicxza5266 aaaand...many ppl have naturally straight hair. What planet are you from?

Patricia Strothers Do you know any chain salons that are good with natural hair in the US? (Ex: DevaCurl)

Oh, Yes!! Don't get me started on this. How can we change it?

@@memekendall3197 We can't change it unless you do your own hair yourself but unless you use people around the same hair type as you to do it

@@katnisseverdeen4021 I hear you, however I Refuse to believe We can Not do anything about it. If you are working with hair and especially being paid then you Need to know how to do curly hair. At least the basics. I'm speaking about combing, washing , very simple. Still have had "hairdressers" complaining that they couldn't do mix hair, black hair. Shame on all of them.

@@memekendall3197 Yeah I had one good lady do my hair in twists, braids sometimes flat ironed but nobody I know does natural hair only weaves and perms. My mom can do it though.

Thank u for these tips they really have helped.me i have fine low porersity as well thats stays dry alot i cant wait to implement these grear tips .😌

Glad she helped you. That is awesome .

Good, whew!! I was hoping I did, lol. Thank you for letting me know ❤️❤️

This is truly a blessing for all women! Women who are transitioning to natural hair this info is truly a Godsend! But let me say this in all honesty, I am a 9 year breast cancer survivor and my change to natural hair has been successful , please ladies let’s give more attention to our inner beauty rather than outer, because that’s what really matters in the end I mean really!!! Yes! Look beautiful, take care of your hair, nails, weight, all that good stuff, but you had better check your insides, your character. Charm is deceitful, beauty is VAIN, but a woman who fears the Lord, shall be praised!!!! Proverbs 31:30

I was just as surprised when i heard her pronouncing it correctly👏

Giggles mine to. If I’m not messing with it it grows like crazy

@@jekessajohnson9673 Yes, it helps a lot. I love braids too because you can manipulate them without worrying about breakage to your hair. Do you use different oils? I'm also trying the Jamaican black castor oil from the Mango and Lime line with vitamins A, D, E. Smells amazing. It is very thick too. jamaicanmangolime.com/848/shop/jamaican-black-castor-oil/jamaican-black-castor-oil-vitamins-a-d-e/

Where to get the conditioner?

MRS J It’s from Shea Moisture (Mongongo Hemp Seed) blue container. You can purchase it from either Sally’s Beauty Supply, Walgreens, CVS, Target, or Walmart for $12.99-13.99 the most. Noticed I stated on my comment I’m very careful with products that contain alcohol. When you do decide to purchase the conditioner I mentioned, don’t be alarmed by the Cetearyl, Stearyl, Cetyl Alcohol. Those are good fatty alcohols derived from vegetables (fats). Commonly used to emulsify hair products, cosmetics, etc. The ones you would want to avoid are Ethanol, Isopropyl, Methanol, and Denat Alcohol. But those are mostly found in skincare but I’ve also seen them in hair care products as well. Those alcohol are drying. 🙋🏻

The early stages is the time to experiment and figure what type of products and the routine that works for you😎. Paying attention to how your hair feels and react to products and the regimen you have it in. Does your hair feel great after and for days after using a product or does it feel dry and tangled a day or so later. For the sake of your hair and purse, experiment with products that you wouldn’t have an issue buying multiple times especially when the purse strings get a bit tight! But be aware that your hair will react different with the seasons and also as it gets longer. I find spray leave-in conditioners a waste of money and you can make up your own that will be way cheaper. I didn’t realise I had all that to say 😂😂 good luck on your journey!

I am glad this video found you. :) If any questions about your hair come up feel free to browse my playlist How to Care For Your Natural Hair. If you have any video requests as a new natural feel free to DM them to me or email them to me at hello@powerinyourcurl.com Over time I would like to create videos specifically for new naturals and hearing from someone in that position would be helpful.

@@PowerInYourCurl What do you recommend for people who have alopecia.. ..

PS I lost my hair while I was natural, not while relaxed. I used to use a lot of gel to slick back into my trademark pony tail. Try combing that...

Visit jjmua's channel for inspiration. You will truly be inspired.

Kimberly Sloan I think coconut oil is contributing to my hair shedding so I recently stopped using it and I will wait to see if there is a difference in about 3 months or so (just a time frame I came up with).

I hear you on that one. I finally realised last year that butters (shea, mango etc) are to heavy on my strands and stop me re-moisturising my between washes. Now I use leave-in and oil or styling creme for styling. Making that change vastly improved the quality of my hair.

Awww I'm so happy for you! Trusting yourself and listening to your hair really does make a world of difference. That's a major accomplishment ❤️

Nadia D water and raw oils don’t mix so be careful with putting oils on your hair. The best products to use are water-based ones.

Jenny Bravo Stop with the butters sis! My hair has flourished since I’ve stopped. Just like she said, those buttes stop you from receiving moisture-which is the key to retaining length anyway!

Im at armpit length at the moment. Use black seed oil hemp oil and a little bit of jbco mix it together and use it to seal in your leave ins. Find a protective style that suits you whether its wigs braids or twists. Trim the bad ends holding onto bad ends stunts growth. Aim to deep condition every week or every two weeks. Try shea moisture Manuka honey mask. Dont touch your hair unless you need to moisturise restyle or wash it. Try bentonite clay and acv as a mask it helps to open up the cuticles and allows more moisture to come in. It also cleans the hair without it being dry and defines curls. Never used chebe clay before but I heard its good you can give ti a try and see how it goes.

Hemp oil is the truth ! And I don’t understand why it is such an underrated oil. Otherwise, when deep conditioning, put a shower cap on so the moisture can penetrate better in your hair. When you want to put products in it, or you wet your hair with warm water or you heat your products ( not in plastic ) and put it in your hair. Also don’t forget to do the “ pray hands “ method because it will help the products to penetrate your hair because if you only throw it in your hair, it won’t fully go in it. Also sleeping with a satin scarf / bonnet / pillow will help. If you do this and what the others advised you to do, you’ll have significant changes. And also be patient because the changes won’t be noticeable on the length in a first hand

Kendall Sawyer No, many of us wore 'groomed' afros / naturals, afro puffs(females wore them , not the males) and corn rows or french braids. Many began getting perms, and still getting press and curls. It was not like the natural hair styles of today, not the depth of natural hair care. I loved this information, and I am now a subscriber. Thank you. Be Blessed. 🙏❤

You are so welcome!

Your English is wonderful! ❤️I am so glad this video was helpful for you Eden.

PowerInYourCurl thank you!! I’m twelwe and i really don’t know what i do to my hair and your videos help me sooo much!!! Always when i style my hair, i watch your videos and relax!!!

You are so welcome Lizzie!

Hey! Thank you for asking this question, it's a really good one. :) Terminal length is a concept you can decide for yourself to believe in. For me personally, I don't put limits on anything. I have seen my hair grow longer than I ever thought possible and I have seen the hair of women all over the world no matter what their skin color or curl pattern grow past tailbone length, to their knees, to the floor and some women have hair that trails behind them as they walk. I believe that if you are healthy and your hair is at optimum health it will continue to retain length and become longer. As Divine Energy, anything that I truly desire to have is possible for me. No matter what the odds or what the physical world says. Words and thoughts are powerful and I truly believe that what you believe is possible for you is what you will live; and that can work to your advantage or your detriment depending on the quality of your thoughts. As far as what science says about hair growth, most sources think that the hair growth cycle for the average human is 5-7 years. Now if hair grows an average of 6 inches a year, that means that the average human can attain a minimum of about 30 inches of hair. Which is still pretty long for most people! I am not an average person though and neither are you, we are Divine and powerful. Also, there are a lot of things that science says that simply isn't true and you have to be very intentional about what you choose to believe and not just accept something as truth because an "authority" said it was so. At the end of the day, it's up to you. ❤️

Linda Butandu protein treatment, that’s why u need ( make sure to know about your porosity to know what products your hair likes). I don’t really consider wigs and weaves as protective styles because it damages the edges, let your hair breathe
