Gorgeous hair on Youtube

[Poohbear]

Really?

During my transition washing my hair like that caused so much knotting and ripping (yikes!) that now that I'm fully natural again I literally shiver at the thought.

Maybe one day when I'm feeling froggy I'd try it again just to see....but for now... no bueno! lol

Yes, really... It's easier and quicker to wash my hair and scrub my scalp the way SistaWithRealHair does it. You just have to make sure you're not rubbing your ends altogether, just focus on the scalp.

The few times that I have washed my hair in 4 sections, my scalp will still have areas that are not clean after rinsing out the shampoo.

 

[Poohbear]

She missing the pretty package though......that 'do was NOT pretty

You don't think JoAnn is pretty! Shame on you!

 

[Poohbear]

Ya'll really hurt her feelings

Wow! She updated all of her videos with that message. erplexed That may attract more negative attention to her videos.

 

[brownelovely]

Wow..this thread has taken a nose dive indeed. I thought the intent was for us to see drool worthy hair. I saw that and took it for what it was.

She's entitled to do her rant just as people were here voicing their opinion. No one's right or wrong...just stating their opinion. I do find it sad that it's easier for some to find something wrong then something that's positive.

Her practices definitely aren't for everyone but I found some of what she did useful. I'm beating a dead horse though so it is what it is. We're all entitled to free speech but being tactful is what matters and that goes both ways.

With that being said, it really doesn't matter what regimen, products, videos, and/or knowledge a person wants to share on youtube---some ladies will ALWAYS find something to fuss about. Yes, I'm referring to the (Kimmaytubes & Ateyas) that are there to share from their prospective.

Ah well....Sistawithrealhair & Reniece have the swang I'm hoping to have when I take this sew-in down.

Leave it to lhcf to start a fight over the most mundane things. Smh

This woman has gorgeous hair and frankly many people with hair that length need a professional to give them that body and bounce. Why hate on it? I have come to the conclusion that heat training ain't damage hair if the hair is still on your scalp (I should know what heat damage looks like I have pictures to prove it).

Many well known Youtubers have similar hair when wet, but their intentions is not to wear it natural but, straight. So appreciate this for the hair porn it is and keep it moving.

 

[RocStar]

This is all I can say at this point.

 

[LittleLuxe]

LHCF code of conduct aside looking at her hair made me consider whether I'd like to go natural and just heat train my hair to be straight. It was so thick and full.

Honestly I can see her annoyance, this is LONG hair care forum not HEALTHY hair forum and considering were known as the cootchie cream using, quadruple up on the vitamins you're only supposed to take 1x a day, can you believe this **** who promised me an inch a month stole my money and beat it! -forum...it does come off as suspect were mad at someone for flat-ironing too much.

So yeah...from her POV it must come off as straight hypocrisy and hating.

 

[LaBelleLL]

She's a beautiful woman and her hair is undeniably gorgeous. I can say I did notice it was shorter on one side and that she had heat damage. Did that change my mind about how gorgeous I think her hair is... no. Now, imo I think its wrong to suggest people on a hair board cannot acknowledge these things without being "haters" or "snobs" or the like.

exactly!!!

 

[LaBelleLL]

but what I don't get is....way more people here are giving her compliments on her beautiful hair and length than bashing her as RocStar said (which led to a diversion). I don't see why she's giving the negativity so much attention. Her regimen can't work for me but her hair is gorgeous. I don't think I should be reprimanded for saying this. And I say it can't work for me b/c whenever I see beautiful hair like that, I have a hair crush, look at what they are using and think to integrate their practices with my own.

 

[bronzebomb]

I've thought about wearing my hair straight as an option. You have choices. Straight or Kinky as long as I like it, I could care less what others say.

I think her hair is pretty (Curly and/or straight).

off topic a bit - I had hoped for 4A hair (She has 3B), but I got 4B ...one stroke of the flat iron will not straighten my hair at all!

 

[kandake]

Wow, that rant was "interesting". I understand her being upset but you have to have tough skin and be able to ignore criticism when you expose yourself to the world via youtube.

I thought about documenting my natural hair journey via youtube but I QUICKLY changed my mind when I thought about the level criticism involved and the unrealistic expectations followers have.

At any rate, the things mentioned here weren't that bad IMO. The posts she quoted were factual statements and not bashings. And for the most part followed by "she has beautiful hair".

Again, youtube is not for the sensitive.

 

[GaiasDaughter24]

Wow. All of this because someone says there was bashing going on. I saw no bashing, just observations and at the end of each post it was stated that her hair was BEAUTIFUL. There's no denying she has gorgeous hair. I don't get it. This could have all been avoided.

And, no, I don't believe she just found this board. I think someone sent her a link or she's been here all along.

I'd still seriously hurt somone for her hair. What I wouldn't give to have strands that could use heat like that and STILL look that awesome (Oh, and that's NOT a backhanded compliment. I seriously can't use heat like that and truly wish I could). A girl can dream. ::Sigh::

 

[Butterfly08]

Her hair is gorgeous. I may fwd this to my sister who is natural and almost MBL.

I envy people who can straighten their hair so well. I'm relaxed and all I can do is rollerset.

I am confused, so u ladies can't use heat on your hair once or twice a month without ill effects? May I ask what happens to your hair if you do?

eta: (kinda why kimmay responds alot about what's written about her on the forums... and of posting her vids without permission (on blogs, etc. ... "stealing her intellectual property" as she's mentioned)

 

[TopShelf]

Well what I wanna know is why is it okay to openly criticize the typef naturals to the point of chasing them off of youtube? Though misguided, some of them (JoAnn and yellow weave girl excluded) were making an honest attempt to share their (bad) hair practices.

But with videos like this, though well done, still perpetuate unhealthy hair practices. In her case, we must make an exception for some reason. Is it because she comes in a prettier package? Speaks eloquently?

I just don't get it......

No.....it's because the proof is in pudding! Overall, her hair appears to be in very good condition. Can you say the same about the models or the stylists on typef? Its only an unhealthy practive based on the results and FOR HER the results have CLEARLY been great!

 

[robot.]

No one went on her page to attack, did they? I didn't see any of that, just opinions stated here.

 

[EbonyCPrincess]

Since my cotton bandanna comment was apparently quoted by this young lady...I will just say have you TRIED satin or silk? I have a friend IRL who has amazing freakin hair and she uses direct heat almost daily. She refused to take my scarf advice but finally started sleeping on a satin pillowcase and admits it is LIFE CHANGING! So my point is, if we here and haircare professionals alike recommend something...instead of being all indignant and assuming I was "hating" why not try it and see if it makes a positive difference? You may find that instead of having to "touch up" weekly or every few days with the flat iron that your style lasts much longer. Not every criticism made in this thread was catty or even moreso unhelpful. So before you attack what you perceived as an attack...try it and see. You may end up thanking me in the end. 'Tis all!

the majority of the comments in here talked about how beautiful her hair is. I do agree that sometimes LHCF can and do go overboard, and maybe a few did but NOT the majority of this thread. she's being showered with compliments in here.

idk, that rant she did turned me off because it negated all the positive compliments within here. if you were to read that rant and you dont read the actual thread you would get the wrong impression.

I want to know too because I know there are people that flatiron weekly. I know I do in the Summer and my hair still grows like a weed.

Cuze me....cuze me....

I NEVER said she was getting bashed. Nope not me. Never. I did not use the word or any form of the word BASHed. Nothing of the sort.

Can you please point me to where I said that????








Don't worry. I'll wait.

(I don't know why folks keep saying I said stuff when I didn't...)

@RocStar, bashing is what you insinuated, implied, whathaveyou. your words were still as strong and had the same effect. either way, it completely derailed the thread and unfortunately became the focus. it's actually quite funny b/c you criticized everyone for being negative yet you focused on only the "negative" comments made by the posters while practically almost everyone prefaced their opinions with saying her hair is beautiful. instead, you took it a step further (negative at that) and said it was a backhanded comment.

it's whatever. it's unfortunate she feels so attacked when that wasn't my intention and i'm sure others weren't commenting with this intention as well.

 

[LaBelleLL]

I feel like my hair will break much more often and i'll have to add a lot more heat that i'd like to. my hair is very cottony and just stays big. it doesn't want to straighten out with one or two passes. plus i have hair goals to meet and i don't want any setbacks with adding too much heat or having thinner hair. i'm def going to use heat once i'm trying to maintain my length versus achieving it. hope this makes sense.

If I straightened my hair that often it wouldn't break or fall out but it would eventually completely loosen my curl pattern. Thats what happened when I first went natural years ago..i pressed my hair twice a month and after a year i noticed i had like no curl pattern left. My hair was still strong, healthy, and growing nicely tho...

Exactly. That much heat= heat damage. Long stringy unsightly patches and loosened curl pattern all over. Kimmaytube said it best (as much as I hate to admit it) once you use heat it forever changes the structure of hair. It will never be the same again whether the change is microscopic or macroscopic (which it eventually will be).

No seriously, it's true for me -- my hair tends to be dry anyway, and if I blow-dry or flat iron or press, it's much harder to keep moisturized for a good couple months after that. erplexed I also end up with a lot more breakage at the ends. Some hair really can't take much heat; I think it just depends on how porous and fine vs. thick your hair strands are.

That's what happened to my hair. Granted, I did press and flat iron it weekly for years and years. It was straight, no curl pattern (probably 3a/3b at that point) and it broke off like no tomorrow. I had to "transition" at that point.
