I will never understand how strangers online can try to tell someone they don't know what they do to their hair/body etc. Do you live in her house to know what she's done? Then how can you be so confident in telling her that she's lying about her hair texture? Ridiculous

And THIS is why I follow you! I live for simple ways to enhance my natural beauty. You give that with easy and simple make up and hair tutorials. You are my go-to-girl for that fresh face/hair look. Yes you spoke some truths! It’s so rare and refreshing to see a black woman fully embrace her natural beauty without extending body parts or features. We are beautiful in our natural state, but told otherwise so we may be pimped as consumers. BTW… motherhood and maturity is working for you! You are looking more beautiful now than when I started following you about 5yrs ago. Say blessed sis!! Hugs and kisses 🤗😚❤

Beautiful video!.. If we as mothers could teach our daughters what is true beauty and that it comes from within! ..keep speaking these lovely truths!

Thank you for your honesty, Rissa, and for opening up and sharing your heart. I used to have very thick, coarse hair, but after going through breast cancer, chemo and radiation, I don't know how to treat my hair anymore. You talked about your curl pattern. Mine has totally changed since I lost it all and it grew back. It's very soft, and I haven't figured out the curl pattern yet. Today I came on to KZread because I wanted to see what people were using for their TWA's these days. Mine is several shades of gray, and several different textures throughout. I can't get a shine on my gray hair and that's frustrating. I will check out the Curldaze Gel tomorrow and see how that works. Nothing that I used before the chemo (hair products) works for me anymore because my curl pattern has changed so I'm still trying to "find myself" as they say. Thank you for your wisdom and for being you!

Miss Wanda, I hope you are doing well. I had a similar experience. I went through radiation treatment and a lot of my hair came out. When it grew back the texture of my hair was different. Now it's sooo much kinkier and coarse than it used to be. I'm struggling to take care of it now. I guess I'm going to have to learn.*ugh* #StrangerHair

Sending positive vibes to all of my natural women all over the world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

16:34 I felt this! I’m always cutting my hair too. I hate dealing with it, but this last chop as been great. Easy maintenance and it has been liberating. Thank you for this video 🙏🏾

Hey Girl Hey, God is so good. I recently big chopped again and after doing so I realized that I don’t like myself with short hair . However, I know realize that it’s from the negative comments that I received from 12 years ago when I big chopped before the natural hair movement took off. So with that being said, I love watching ur videos and seeing you with your short hair and looking beautiful. This truly has inspired me. I do plan on growing my hair back out. But, I’m not going to hide my God given hair under a wig while do so. Now I will occasionally rock a scarf bc I love the look but I’m not going to hide the women that God has created me to be. Thanks for the reminder Lil Sis and blessings and more blessings your way. 😊🥰

Yes girl you had a word today and I love all of it! ❤️🙌🏾

Rissa, this video speaks so much truth. From the stigma we grew up hearing about good vs bad hair. Took me a long time to figure out that all hair is beautiful and not everyone has the same “curl pattern” or type “a, b or c” hair. To this day I don’t know what type hair I have and I’m okay with that. My only issue is that I can’t seem to find the right products to enhance my curls (hair care junkie). So for now I just wear protected styles which suits my lifestyle perfectly as I workout 🏋️‍♀️ a lot. Thank you for talking about this. Moms please teach your children better. ❤❤❤

Your hair is beautiful. It is definitely true that beauty radiates from the inside out. I don't understand why with all we have been thru the past 2 years or so, we are still "mean girl" hating on each other. I am not super confident in doing my hair (never have been, hair has always been my Achilles heel). I love learning from people like you whose hair I admire. I think at different points, we like to look different ways. Sometimes I like to be all glammed up and sometimes I like to be completely natural...what's wrong with just celebrating who we are at whatever stage. That's one reason I love coming to your channel, you give us a little bit of everything. The one consistent thing that never wavers is your belief and trust in God. Keep doing you! Block the haters, you don't need the stress. Pray you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy the rest of the holiday season. Also, February will be here before you know it. How are you guys going to ever pick another name as perfect as Elora? Her name is the perfect combination of both of your names. And to top it off, she is such a beautiful little girl...her spirit radiates from the inside. Love and Blessings!💕

Wow, Lorissa!!! I consider you my virtual friend and as a woman of God, this video was such a blessing to me ❤️ 💙 💜 I KNOW you are speaking the whole truth!!!! Hair typing etc shouldn't matter, like you said, God gave everyone "Good Hair". Thank you for using your voice to be a blessing!!! And mean girl energy thrown your way is covered by God's grace and has no place on your channel ✨️ Speak the truth proudly and allow God to continue to minister through you!!! Happy Thanksgiving 😊

I am so proud of you and how you have progressed with time. Thank you for all the assistance you offer to all women whether they accept it or not! Thanks, and continue the journey!

I am so glad that I watched this video!! Everything you said truly resonated with me. I have been going back and forth trying to decide whether, or not to continue my short hair journey. And it boils down to allowing society, or people I know to dictate how I feel about myself based on my short hair. Unfortunately women can be mean to each other especially black women. I recently received a comment from a woman I know who said to me jokingly. "Why do you look like a dude?! I was not wearing makeup, and I had on a hoodie, and joggers with my short hair. I laughed it off but I thought to myself what is wrong with the way I look?! That day I was feeling so confident with my appearance I felt really cute, and happy with my hair. But what she said hurt me, and it made me feel less confident about myself. We have to be so careful with our words even when we think we are just kidding to the person hearing those words it may not be so funny. I just really want to thank you for sharing this video for one it helped me to realize that I am not the only one, and it also made me realize that I will never again let ANYBODY steal my joy, or my confidence!! Thank you for this video please do more like this. God bless you. ❤🙏🏼

I’m sorry she hurt you by that comment but please don’t believe the lie! Also…girl it’s ok to change your mind about your hair!

Thank you speaking on washing more! The scalp pain hurts! My hair likes to get hydrated via water, so shampooing about every 3-4 days works for my hair. And my hair is in better condition when I stick to this. Also, ordering that gel!

Sis let me just say i was so distracted by your hair, glowing skin, jewelry, and nail polish oh and that top lol my goodness you are just so beautiful, this video was so deep and informative, a lot of us like to class people of our colour by hair texture which is so dumb if you ask me, we were created differently for a reason, why can't we just embrace that and carry on? i too rock natural short hair and my hair looks a hot mess when it's not moisturized but as soon as that water and gel hit these curls they come alive, our hair loves moisture, once you understand that you will learn to embrace your natural hair. Love you loads sis you always drop the gems, stay beautiful.❤

Love your content and your curly new routine. The shine is awesome ❤

Great convo, love your hair, I’m natural as well and always get asked about my short curly hair

Just wanted to let you know that I couldn't find the gel anywhere, but I sure appreciate your video. I took my time with and styled my hair as you did with the product I'm using. SO pleased!!!! This video was also so relaxing to me. Enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you. I'm closing out the year with HAPPY HAIR.

Love, love this video!! It had helped me more than any. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for the natural hair information! I agree 👍 with you in so many ways!

I love your positive energy ❤️❤️❤️

Aww thank you for this beautiful message 🤗 Right now I'm struggling with wondering how I'd look after cutting my hair and your words have helped. You also made the technique of styling look so much easier and a lot less frightening 😩 I had a twa 15 years ago and it was a nightmare to manage. It would go down on my head like a mat when i wake in the morning, always tangle and was super hard to comb out even with hair softener 😢 I could only manage it with roller setting. Now I'm a lot less scared to try again because with time, local beauty stores now have more products available and I'll definitely try this technique after I cut my locs 🙏

I 100% agree with you, whether your hair is natural or permed is hard to maintain it is what works for you.

I love your videos. I always used the products that you recommend. The information that you stated to our young ladies “accept the beauty “that God has given to each one of us.

I love you for being so straight forward

I will have to try this product ....thanks for sharing ..I love the way your hair looks on you.

Yes. True beauty, I love what I heard. I thank God for you. Keep it real all the time the way you do. Keep doing it.

I agree with you about washing more frequently. My hair is always healthier when I wash it more often. I know that tends to be a hot take in the hair community for whatever reason but for me I go by how my hair feels and the breakage is at a minimum when I am washing it 2x weekly. I have very very very thick hair and if it is not regularly moisturized, it will break.

You look Beautiful ❤️🦋🌺Merry Christmas Lorissa.🎄🙌🏾

Thank you for sharing your hair journey. I will try it because I also have curly hair.

You saved me!!! I was ready to give up. Then i found your video! I used the curldaze gel. My hair took to it better than ALL of the other products i've used. And there have been MANY. It defines my curls beautifully! I love my hair again. So fast. So easy. THANK YOU!

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the one product for curl definition styljng. I'm new to wearing my hair natural, I've worn locs since 2013. I took them down in 2023, 10 years is the longest I ever stuck with one style, but locs are so versatile. It's more like locs are my hair and I styled my locs(hair). I could ware them straight, updo, ponytail and I could wear a ponytail or an updo10 different ways. For a year I feel like all I've done us buy product and they are accumulating in my cabinet to the point I had to buy one of those wheeled carts for storage. Also, I don't know what type of hair I have either, but I know it's about 3 types. My sides and front top of my head is in type, my crown and the top of the back of my head is another type and finally the back is yet another. So, when people start talking about type of hair, they lose me because I'm a 69 yo and I don't have time to waste on that conversation. I want something that's quick and sensible that my arthritic fingers can handle. Finally, I'm glad to hear you talk about "real beauty" is internal, I believe most good things originate internally like joy and every aspect of the fruit of the spirit such as love, kindness, self control and goodness. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and your faith, and thank you for caring enough to do so. I'm going to bite the bullet and try yet another product and pray it accomplishes what I need. Either way that is the last new product I'll endeavor until my hair product cart is empty or I'm home, whichever comes first bc life's too short. 😊💯😆

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Will try the gel. Thanks

Thanks so much for all your advice. I love my hair and natural too. Cut my hair in the 90's for health reasons at the time. But once I went and natural that was it. I've used and tried many Gels.. My hair will curl with water also, but sometimes I like to add a little gel to make it last are curl tighter. I been using S'Curl products. But for more natural I will try this product. It works quickly I see too. Let you know later. 👍🏽🙂

Your hair is beautiful, so are you!❤️🫶🏾

I completely understand everything you're saying about people questioning your curl pattern...I that all of the time because my entire texture is the same as your sides and I only use water and a gel (luster's short look) to define my curls.

First thing I have to say is, I love your beautiful spirit❤️. Secondly, We have the same exact hair type so I will have to try this gel.

Loved the video! Love the curls and those earrings. I definitely plan on looking into order new jewelry through your suggested online store. You don't have to explain your hair pattern to anyone!

My big chop is growing and I almost permed it out of desperation thinking maybe it would be okay because it can just grow out..glad I saw this..because I didn’t really want to do it 😩❤️

You really went high on this post! I’m glad to be at an age were I realize ever comments doesn’t deserve a response from me. I will agree, products don’t give us anything it enhances what God has already given us. When I was younger and before I did the clip I always got asked what did I use on my hair to give it bounce/body. When I released my hair from gels and heavy hydration products to make it stay in placed; it moved. Keep being who God created you to be!

ooohhhh lawd. I use a silk pillowcase as well. I don't like sleeping on a bonnet either. I also change it my pillowcases once a week as well. I'm also at a point where I don't want alot of products in my hair either. I want a real wash and go, wash, product, dry and go.

Beautiful message and video!

I love your channel!

Girl this is cuteeee! I have to try this gel. If the argan oil Eco styler gives me this same curl maybe this one will too! And I have thick ninja hair ok! Lol

I was supposed to see this today because I struggle with my self-omage most of my life. I am in my 70th season on this earth. I want to embrace my natural hair, but it's always DRY.

My hair textures look similar to yours and I would also say the arrangement of the tighter curls are on my sides and the looser ones are more mohawk style in my hair. Like you said we are all different and even throughout our lives, things change. My hair texture has changed to become looser as I've gotten older due to hormones and scalp conditions. People always want to pigeonhole and we don't fit into neat little boxes as humans. ❤

Great conversation! I'll check back for the satin pillowcase.

Don’t worry about the mean girl vibes, just do your thing. People sought out advice, so you give it to them based on your experience and hair; they can take it or leave it. I have watched three of your videos and understand your hair typing thoughts. I cut my hair back in the 90’s for the relaxed Halle Berry short bob and my beautician told me I had three or four grades of hair. I was never great with doing my hair and before the bob, I just wrapped it up in a French roll. In 2002, I went completely natural because I started going to the pool 2-3 times a week and wanted a wash and go hairstyle. That, and because I don’t like to do much…I am a bit lazy. I was looking for a modified version of my current haircut, and your style and advice on simplicity fits the bill. I doubt if I will go through the gelling of the hair, but will save that option for special occasions as I like the look. You have given me ideas on various products and simplicity so thank you for an informative video.

I just binged watched some twa 4c hairstyling videos and when I got to your video I was pretty much done, but I stayed to do my finishing touches while listening and watching your video in the background, and I resonated with literally everything you were saying.
