Can we say it louder for the people in the back? How you feed yourself and treat yourself matters. People out here taking all these biotin supplements, putting all kinds of things on their scalp but stressed out, strung out, eating nothing nutritious. Hair grows inside out and so does your soul. Take care of yourself first.

I experienced breakage in the past from over-manipulation, not doing enough protein treatments, and from using heavy deep conditioner masque without slip. I leave my hair alone now for at least 3-4 days before touching it, I do protein treatments once a month, and I only use hydrating deep conditioners because they have more slip and more water. Now I experience minimum breakage. I 💕 being natural!!!

Janet J. I use creme of nature argan oil collection intensive reconstructive conditioner. However I’m not really a big fan of it anymore because it contains a lot of silicone but my hair only excepts keratin protein, silk or wheat protein. It contains wheat protein and my hair loves wheat protein so I have to use it until I find something better. Believe me I’ve been searching high and low for better protein treatments that are light and deep penetrating without the extra silicones. Aphogee 2 step reconstructor is good but it contains collagen protein and collagen protein is too large for my fine strands and it doesn’t work for me but it may work for you.

L. W. Sounds like our hair is very similar in that my hair only likes wheat, silk or keratin proteins. I used to buy wheat protein and add it to my own conditioner but I stooped because I ran out 👀. Not a good reason. 😆

Janet J. I feel you. When you know what your hair likes it’s hard to just put anything on it.

After watching naptural85 say she cut out coconut oil because she realized it was causing her hair to break, i decided to stop using it and Let. Me. Tell. You! Best decision I’ve ever made regarding my hair. Everyone’s hair is different and it may really be the holy grail for some but I was on the path to balding

This is a good video. But I find alot of people do not consider hard water a factor. This thing can be detrimental to hair growth. So if you live in a hard water area get a water softener or a shower head that softens the water as it comes out. Hard water causes serious breakage because of the metals/minerals that it deposits on the hair strands. When you shampoo your hair if its not made with surfactants that can fight against the hard water its not removing these deposits. I suffered from hard water damage but now my hair has made full recovery and is flourishing beautifully.

Doretha McElliott my regimen I change between protein and moisture every week, for instance this week I’ll use moisturizing deep conditioner, next week I’ll use a protein deep conditioner, the following week back to moisture and the week after that protein. My hair is perfectly balanced with that particular pattern. Now some people use protein once a month depending on what your likes

I am an extreme minimalist when it comes to my natural hair.

I’ve got a big chop 1yr before I left for Basic Military Training. For anyone familiar with how rigorous and fast paced it is... ( long story short) my TWA 4C low porosity hair suffered. It wasn’t until I arrived at my first duty station, I started learning natural hair terminology (beaded ends: single strand knots). Furthermore, it’s been 1.5yr and (still) learning millions of lessons about natural hair care do’s and don’t. My hair is now collar bone length and the crown is recovering so quickly following advice from naturals like you. Thank you 😊

I hope you have a good day! Thanks for the reminder to keep the stress to a minimal.

Love your videos! Would definitely like to see a protein/moisture balance video as well as seeing videos on decorating your new home. Congratulations on that by the way, home the move is seamless for you.

So glad you mentioned the importance of a healthy lifestyle!!! I've experienced it myself, no matter what I was doing, protein/moisture, my hair was breaking and shedding a lot due to health issues. I'd like to see an appartment or house tour before and after your move.

I felt this video so much. Tight ass pony tails, stress and vitamin deficiency TOOK MY HAIR OUT. Sadly I'm chopping mine this weekend, and it's basically due to these things. Just gotta do better with self care and life after this big chop.

I always wear my hair in twists, pinned down to frame my face for work.

Loved today’s video. Yes girl whatever you post, lifestyle will be cool too.

Thank you for all your videos! I'm in twists all day every day at the moment. I also just bought some earrings from Miss Toni's website because of you

Congratulations on your new place! Lets see it

I definitely have some breakage, even though I take good care of my hair and I've been trying to figure out why. Could not having clean partings when sectioning your hair be a reason? I tend to finger part my hair.

There’s been increasing discussion surrounding how we wear our hair for memorable/formal events like graduations or attending dances. Can you do a style video for formal events using natural hair? That’s my idea for a video. Thanks for the tips! Trimming hair has made such a wonderful and most welcome difference. My hair looks and behaves soooo much better when the ends are trimmed. Way less tangling too

I experienced breakage twice. I got highlights in my relaxed hair and it broke off so bad, so color is a no no for my hair. Postpartum also caused my hair to break. I just gave my hair a little more TLC during that time.

Can you do a Q and A video and a video talking about why you choose your career field and what college you attended

Love your videos, we want it all, see your new setup and a tour of your new place

Thanks Lexi! Great tips!💜

Great video!

Hi yall! You 're looking great with those dazzling earrings 💖💖🤗👍

Nice video!!! Thanks Queen!!

I have fine 4c, I dry detangle lightly with my fingers before my wash to get the shed hairs out, then I detangle more thoroughly after I put on my DC. My hair is braided to go under a wig because I'm working out 5 days per week in the morning, and I'm in low manipulation mode.

The gye nyane earrings are 🔥🔥🔥🔥!

U inspire me to take extra good care of my hair.. let me go grease my scalp real quick.. lool

For all the reasons you said causes breakage is why I locked my hair 8 months ago I don’t have breakage anymore plus I don’t need too many products only need a shampoo a leave in spray & a oil also with locs don’t have to worry about getting trims

Please do a video on moisture protein balance!

You might have a scalp condition like seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff. Sometimes oiling your scalp makes it worse, also tight hairstyles and pulling your hair to harshly can make it worse. Also be careful of the type of cleansers you use. It might bot be cleansing your scalp properly especially if it has heavy butters and oils

I really feel like it gets way easier to do your natural hair less when it gets longer and have it hold decent styles. Some of my “low manipulation” hairstyles just don’t hold as much so mainly I get braids, wear my natural hair out for a couple weeks between braids and trim when I wash my hair after braids

😩😫broken nails

Just took marley twist out, and I'm wearing my hair in 8 twist

Pls do the decorating vid..
