Oh! And I forgot to mention - the reason why the dye didn't take to my full head when I went ginger this time around is becauseeeeeeee.... ya gurl *_still_* scared of the bleach! lol Also, after my dance with color in 2016, I dyed my hair jet black so that also contributed to this color not taking because it couldn't overpower the black without bleach. I haven't dyed my hair since 2019, so my roots and all the new growth since then is what was able to turn ginger with no issues!

Your color is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I’ve had my fair share of color and it eventually damaged my hair overtime even will extreme hair care (deep conditioning once a week, gentle detangling twice a week, moisturizing every day) so no matter what, my hair hates color lol so I have to live vicariously through y’all!

thanks so much! I’m curious - were you ever able to figure out why the color was harsh on your hair? This is such an interesting take!

@@sharnice.akeitah I think my hair is just weak. I have fine soft hairs that just can’t take chemicals. My strands are very very fine mostly. I think maybe if I used 20 vol developer and I went to a color that isn’t very light I would be kinda okay. But anything lighter than a color 3 or 4 would 100% damage my hair in the long run. Despite GREAT hair care.

This colour is beautiful. Your locs are gorgeous 😍😍

Eyyy NYC girlie with the locs ❤ happy anniversary to your locs. I really enjoyed this video. I cut mine in October 23 after two years loc’d. Been wanting to start them again but with the knowledge I know now and a bit bigger loc size. Just scared of starting on hair shorter than my last set plus worried about finding a job with them.

yurrrrrrr! #NYCGirlies ❤️ Thanks so much for watching! I cut off all my hair before I started. It was definitely scary but I embraced it. Nothing worth having is going to be easy, and girl! if that job doesn’t want you because of your hair, I can only imagine what the job culture is like. You don’t need em anyway!

Happy Anniversary 🎉 10 years is an amazing achievement!!!

Looooove the locs! I was wondering what you would say your hair density/thickness is. I'm on the fence on getting locs cus my hair is so thin

@sharnice.akeitah

Ай бұрын

thanks hunnie ❤️ Before I locked my hair, I would say my hair type was 4C. I’ve always had really tight curls and lots of shrinkage when I’d wash my hair. If you’re interested in locking your hair, I would suggest looking into different loc types (sisterlocs, freeform, etc.) to see what can be a good fit.

Yes - when my hair is wet, it does get heavy but it isn't unbearable. I feel like my. body adjusts in that moment. On a day-to-day my hair doesn't feel heavy.

I would say not really. I only really feel the weight of my hair when it’s wet but on a regular day-to-day, it’s fine. I feel like your body adjusts to the weight of your hair (if any) so you don’t really realize it. Also bra strap length for 3 years is a 👏🏽BIG 👏🏽 DEAL! I see you sis 😌😏
