Heyyyy, my name is Hakima, I’m 22 years old and I'm from NYC. I created this channel because I wanted there to be even more REAL and honest 4c content out there. When I first went natural I was lost until I found Chizi Duru, Nappy Fu and other creators I love. Now I want to share everything I have learned and every step of my own natural hair journey with all of you! Dense 4c hair in particular can feel impossible to care for but I want to share how I've learned to manage it with those of you who also have very dense/dry/thick 4c hair because we don't see enough of that either and it can be really discouraging. On this channel you can expect tutorials, reviews, tips, demos and also beauty content such as skin care and makeup. In the future I want to do more vlogs and traveling once this pandemic is over. New videos every week!

    Hey Sis, I use that product too and he recommends using it with really wet hair in the shower preferably. You can squeeze excess out just a little before leaving the shower. If you try it that way I believe you will experience the slip you want. Also matting is a result of dehydration, not wetting the hair enough. If you go and watch his videos he demonstrates how to use his products and lots of information for your hair. You will be amazed at the nuggets he shares. Thank you for sharing, Happy hair growing.
