Hey my loves, This is a very casual hair update vlog. I hope you enjoy! Also please let me know your experience with Olaplex and apogee protein treatment. I would love to try these out. Thank you ☺️

Finally someone with my hair texture! I did a big chop 3 weeks ago and I'm loving my coils.

Wow! In five months. I’ve been growing natural hair for 5 years and still on same length. God Abeg o, who go help o? 🥺

You are literally soooo Beautiful 🥹🥹🥹 You shouldn’t worry about the straight strands . As your hair continues to grow , they’ll take up their texture .. I’ve big chopped a million times lol so trust me . Your hair is fine . Beautiful progress 😍😍😍

The short hair’s unmatched! That should be your look for the next 1 year 😩😍😍😍

I believe the straight strands are normal (personally I've got a TON especially at the centre of my head). I think it's something most naturals have and not something to be worried about. You can give the protein treatment a try to see if it helps. Good luck!

This your excitement is contagious 😂 I’m happy for your progress, and I doubt if the straight strands are something to worry about, I think it’ll just disappear with time.

Don't worry the random straight pieces are completely natural! I just cut my hair in February of this year after heat training and my hair was in the same state. You have to go through multiple washes, treatments, and dustings/ trims. The straight pieces will eventually correct after a few trims🙌🏾

You are single-handedly one of the most gorgeous women I’ve ever seen in my life. Thanks for sharing your hair is beautiful!! New subscriber ❤

Awww I am dealing with a cute TWA and doing my best to appreciate my natural hair journey all over again. I ended a 7-year natural journey when I made the decision to relax my hair. It was not the best decision to relax it. So I decided to cut it off. Seeing these videos gives me hope that my hair will grow and I need to make sure that I make the right decisions this time!

Your hair grew so much!! Really happy for you. Plus I also think you should just relax about the straight strands, your hair will blossom again 🤗💓💓 Don't be scared

Wow, this shows you realy understands your hair and knows what's best to help it grow.

Your hair is beautiful, congratulations on the growth, But you ATE the short hair. Omg it looked beautiful and made your nice cheekbones standout.

This is beautiful I’m a month behind you in October 6 will be exactly 6 months I’m starting to see a sign of getting the puff too , I followed you back in April right after I did my big chop because of the heat damage also .

This hair grew so fast. Lovely.

Wow, 5 months and your hair is so grown!!! Mine is 4months now😟 about the strand, it happens to most people growing natural hair, and I think it’s absolutely fine too!! By the way you look absolutely beautiful 😍

I used to have those random straight strands when i went natural last year. But they've all disappeared. I don't think its anything to be too worried about(in my opinion)

So glad your hair is growing back!!!

Omg you are GORGEOUS!🤍✨

Coming back strong...I love it🥰❤️. I really hope you get to completely revive your hair💯❤️

We thank God for growth 🤸🤸 Elijah level tingsss

you're a natural beauty

Omg you are so pretty!!!!! Especially with short hair!!!

Your progress is amazing 🤩🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾 I have some random straight strands in my hair as well but I pay them no mind

You’re so gorgeous!!! Good progress with your hair .. wear your hair out more and it’ll continue to flourish

Your growth is quite spontaneous. Love it.♥️

Wow am super happy to see the growth 💃

Hey babe, I had same heat damage as well and big chopped in 2017. Post heat damage is actually a very crucial stage of your hair journey. I suggest you consistently moisturize, deep condition weekly and cowash weekly as well. Shampoo only with sulphate free shampoos. Invest in curly hair products like shea moisture at the least to encourage healthy curl pattern. Also I understand the scare after heat damage lol I had it too but let me tell you heat damage only happens due to poor techniques (excessive heat). When you get your hair to a healthier state, you could actually safely straighten your hair again. I finally did a straightening last year and got no heat damage. Tips for that is I did protein treatments with regular “strengthening conditioners” monthly for 3 months before that time, also used my own professional heat protectant (the brand I used isn’t in Nigeria but Cantu also has a very good high rated one), also made sure to instruct to blow dry on a medium heat setting then straighten with only one pass. This was hard because Nigerian stylists are very ignorant and lazy about hair, but you just have to talk without care because it’s your hair that will get damaged at the end of the day. You could also try doing it yourself if you can but make sure to watch multiple videos for guide on how to safely straighten your hair.

This was lovely, thanks for sharing

I big chopped seven years ago. I have worn box braids, never longer than bra length. But my hair dresser doesn’t braid tightly. No breakage. I have also stopped using high heat on my hair, which has been the best decision for me. I just use a Rev Air, hooded dryer or a light blow dry. I now recognize that high heat is the devil for my fine, but highly dense 4a hair. I’m content to never know the true length of my hair. My hair is now as thick as during my childhood and roughly bra strap length, despite several smaller cuts during the last seven years. This is the right choice for me. You’ll find the best options for yourself.

Hey girl. Ok I started growing my hair last year July and that's how my hair grows, straight from the roots. Trust me is ok, you needn't worry

As a natural hair stylist since 2003 and a daughter of a hair stylist ( my Dad) all my life. There are so many stages goes through. Please, don't stress so much over your hair. Some people have multiple textures in one head. The left side can be straighter than the right, vise versa. Some have straighter hair in the back versus the front. Some people hair grow faster on one side versus the other...I can go on an on. Give your hair more time. Give it at least a year. If they will curl back they will. After a year if those straight pieces are still straight ..that's fine too. As, long as your hair isn't thinning, breaking from the root or not growing from the scalp at all ie. (alopecia). Just let it be its ok, just relax. Also, speak what u want into existence for your hair and always have gratitude. Peace🥰

Girl you're pretty😍 The Straight strands will definitely go back to it's curls

You're not alone!! I don't use heat and I have straight pieces all over. 💞

I have the same issue with my hair. Thanks for being brave enough to tell your truth. By the way I new to the channel. Awesome content 👏 👌 👍 🙌

Awwww. The absolute joy

girl, you look like a DOLL, im in love 😩🥰

Wow amazing length retention. I got that length at months 7-9

you are gorgeous and that smile is amazing😀🥰hello from NC

Good job staying positive helps with growth too. You look good with short or longer hair. Water moisture is key 🔑 🙌

Ure so lucky ure goorgeous so u dont even need hair. Bless u beautiful ❤

I am happy for your growth

The straight strands happen around the crown whe you do high puff with the string method. Nothing to be alarmed about!! Just give them a little extra extra moisture before bed! Super excited for your hair journey 🙌🏾

Try a cholesterol treatment as well! It does a great job at rebuilding the protein and forming the shape of the curls again.

Wow... OMG...the growth is massive 😊

Wow...Your hair grew so well

I can feel the excitement you have all over you

You are stunning...love the hair

Congratulations! I started following when you got the heat damage and had to cut everything off. Those strands are normal. I have them and my hair is mid-back when it's straight. That's when I use a protein treatment and they curl right back up.

Yoo .. This is unbelievable😍

The excitement is all over your face🤗😄

Omo this hair has really grown ooo. 😳😳

Please I don't know about others but please I need the routine you used to get your hair to this puff length. Thank you 💖

I’ve been natural since 2014, had a big chop in 2019 and all through my years, I’ve always had straight strands on some parts of my hair, so I guess it’s normal. I’m a 4C too

2:43 your happiness!🥺

Guyyyy🥺 you're so beautiful, even with your chopped hair

Awww look at thisssss 😩🥺

Its your excitement for me😊😊

Not sure but I think since most of the heat damage was in the back that may have caused the texture change but just let it grow out for now and it's also possible that you didn't get all the straight pieces during your big chop or previous trims. Can't wait to see how long and healthy your hair gets by the end of the year😭💖

The afro is froing!!!!!!!......naaa I live what I'm seeing 😍😍😍

Woow your hair has just grown

That straight strands is not a problem, all your hair cannot be the same, I have alot in my hair as well even after washing it will still be standing like a police lol 😆, you don't have to worry about it all that matters is, it's being healthy.

OMG! I have a lot of those super straight hairs too! I think this is why relaxer always broke my hair because thiese straight hairs don’t need relaxing and become over processed and break off.

The straight strands is SPLIT ENDS. Your mane needs Trim. But if your sebaceous glands lacks keratin, then do apply protein treatment. Your mane is really growing fast I must compliment.

The short cut on you was so beautiful

'Not all protective styles are protective styles' So truee Your hair has really really grown 😊 It's so pretty This video was really enjoyable ✨

I'm a hairstylist and i learned as we age our hair strands can change. It doesn't have anything to do with how you cut it and the tool you use. You can use all the treatments your want. They say it grows out your scalp can't be changed it's just natural. Embrace it.

Ima professional hairdresser and this video is amazing. Good job sis👏🏾💞

Okay finally someone with my situation I chopped everything off last year(2021) in June and it started growing like your (I mean in straight strands) And a different pattern I think The back of my hair is a complete 4a I tell you!

I had that happen. I was told hair grows in 7yr cycles and i was in a cycle of straight. All of my hair was straight for years with no relaxer.

Your hair grows so fast

It's like those ziza products really worked well for you 💯🔥

I believe the hair that was once close to your scalp is now at the ends of your hair because of the growth…so the straight ends that you cut off during your big chop is now at the end of your hair.

Don’t fall into the puff trap tho, you can do it once in awhile but don’t make it a go-to style, it can ruin your hair and edges

How cute is she? 😍 I just also want to shout out Naija beauty/ hair channels in general. You guys kill it 👍🏼👍🏼

It’s normal for some naturals to have multiple hair types. Some people have different hair stands on different sections on their head.

Our hair sheds daily so with it being in a protective style so long it all comes out at once when you take it down. Just chill and be nice to yourself.

Protein treatment brings back your natural hair ....I cut my hair because of a texturiser

To any one trying to grow hair, I recommend the inversion method! It works

I got some heat damage last year from the roots down and i decided i was gonna grow it out and my relationship with my hair changed so much. I was past bra strap length and the hair dresser destroyed my hair! I just kept doing protective styles and neglected my hair just because it was hard to look at and the different textures were so difficult. I am tempted to cut them off but I have done a mini chop before and I know the short hair struggles of having to pre plan hairstyles and the weird awkward length when it grows out of the cut, isnt the cutest... but I am back on my journey I have been slacking tbh and my hair has suffered for it...especially my edges... I'm like an inch from waist length now so cutting off the damage is hard, I've decided I'll just grow it out and after consistent trimming i'll be back fully healthy. I want to try the aphogee treatment before I cut it tho Love your videos! and so excited for your journey!

Having different textures through out your hair is very common.

But her face is literally perfect! 😮😮😮😮 🇬🇭

My hair is getting longer and it’s been 3yrs since my hair broke off and it’s growing with the greases I have been using to keep my scalp healthy

Omg same I did a big chop after my fall started to fall out and got thin and I have 4c hair but now that my hair is growing out again it's not even 4c anyone like my curl pattern completely changed like howw

Have you tried passion twists with passion twist hair? I like it a whole lot better than knotless because the hair is super lightweight and you don't need to much for a thicker looking twist (I only need two strands of hair per section!) It doesn't last as long (naybe 3 weeks?) But it's quick and worth it!!❤️

I did a big chop yesterday..I need help on what product to use for my hair and i also want it curly… a product i can get in a store here in canada

Hy! It's very Nice...to revive your curls try amla and after an hydratant conditionner...

HA my hair grows straight like that as well I have no heat damage and pretty healthy hair, it's been like that from birth!

Curl pattern changes over time for some but I’ve got plenty of straight strands. Maybe you just never noticed them

You look so cute😍

Hi, thanks goodness that I've found someone who have experienced something like this. I never had damage before but at the beginning of my hair journey I had straight hairs with little 3a curls which was always mistaken for relaxed hair but now that my hair has grown to shoulder length my hair is no longer growing straight hairs from the roots it's now mostly 4b and 4c hairs. Seriously I've been worried for months and I've been looking for possibly solutions but now am just going to let my hair be and do its own thing

It’s your genes 🎉🎉

I'm probably not your average viewer but damn I love your content. Really insightful stuff and I learn alot about my own 4b afro through your videos.

The original chop was superb 🤌🏾

I'm thinking about doing another big chop too. Hair always grows back

I loove my hair skin nail vitamins they def help w my hair growth i grew out my pixie in 6 mths w mine

Love your afro. Your beautiful

I have those straight strands too I don’t even be worried anymore 😩

I don't use heat on my hair often, but I do have some strands of straight hair. It's possible it's just the way some of our curly/coily hair grows? Not 100% sure. edit: I've never used any relaxers or done a big chop.

I did a big chopped in July 2023 my hair has been growing since the big chopped.
