    What is a "curly cuts"?

    • @AfrikanHairGod
      @AfrikanHairGod  Před rokem +14

      I could've answer this question just like you could've typed this same comment in Google to get the answer for yourself. It's very inconsiderate to not try to educate yourself on a subject that has been discussed extensively on my channel more than 6 times in the past month. While this may be your first video that you have seen of me, this is the equivalent of walking into class in the middle of the lecture and expecting for the teacher to breakdown concepts that have already been discussed extensively. I can't simply answer this question because there's too much depth to breakdown for you to get context for the video content. If you plan to continue watching me, I expect you to meet us halfway and not spoon feed you information.

      Hey man....be nice I don't think that user was expecting YOU to personally answer the question, she's probably like alot of viewers when they stumble upon new content, they assume someone (ahem like myself who is an avid watcher of your videos and is currently growing my natural hair past my collarbone) to answer the question. Let me tell her, curly cuts is a trend that natural stylists are trying to push on alot of people with 3c and 4c hair and curly hair in general. It's where a stylist cuts your hair in it's curly state and basically hacks at your ends. At first the cut looks cute, and the person getting it is happy cuz they're sold this thought process of "since you wear your hair curly all the time, why not cut it curly and shape it so you look fabulous." Also, at first they tend to look cute, but cutting curly hair is very deceptive because curly strands/hair hides imperfections/flaws in any cut. This video, and the one prior, the guy narrating (aka the maker of the video African Hair God) is trying to show that curly cuts damage your hair and causes split ends down the road. He's trying to show us how healthy hair should look vs damaged ends. Hope that helps kiddo! 👍😜😍

      ​​​​@@hollistersurferdudesee I don't have time for all of that and then all of the follow up questions after the fact. I don't think what I said was mean nor do I think it's anyone else's responsibility to answer her. You did a great job breaking down the situation but what happens when someone not so knowledgeable replies with misinformation? People are lazy and don't want to do any leg work for themselves and then when you politely tell them that they should look up what a curly cut is, then they want to snap at you. It's easy to say that on the outside looking in. Yall don't see what I see or get the responses that I do. But I do appreciate you for breaking it down. If you want feel free to copy and paste to respond to the other 100 people here asking what a curly cut is but didn't bother to just type it in a search bar or even just educate themselves from reading other comments in the comment section.

    We hear so much about splits and thickness at the end of the hair. It is beyond helpful to see a real example of how damage looks throughout the hair. Most of us don’t even think to look past the thickest part of the ends. The better we can identify damaged hair, the better we can address it and move toward having a healthy head of hair.

My granny used to use Blue Magic hair grease, Dax, and “Sulfate” (Sulfur8) 😂…all the time when I was a little girl. My braids, and ponytails were down my back.

    You just gained a new fan. Every word you said here was 10000% correct. I gave up on these so-called "stylists" over 12 years ago because I would either have to constantly explain that my hair wasn't damaged since I don't have a defined "hair type" or they always wanted to use some type of treatment or chemicals on me. It was so refreshing for you to explain that your healthy hair client doesn't have a specific curl type or pattern because I have never ONCE heard a stylist admit that & it was very discouraging to me; I've cut my hair off sooooo many times before realizing that this is just what I have. Literally every section of my hair does its own thing. This video felt like a big hug for me. ❤❤❤

I've had to undo my microlocs because of not feeling heard or my concerns addressed when I noticed they were not forming well. Something was off and my instincts serve me well. The salon was also clueless about aftercare/maintenance with scalp conditions and I have seborrheic dermatitis.
      You're right about us taking power back as clients. We tend to leave or stop going to a particular hair stylist when we're dissatisfied rather than holding them accountable and telling them the issue. I'm guilty of it. Often they are not open to listening or rectifying things. Our heads are individual but there is too much one size fits all mentality.

    I had a hairstylist ban me from their salon cause I modified my ‘Brazilian Blow Out’ to a Silk Press/Deep Conditioning because I discovered I had scalp psoriasis and I didn’t think it was a healthy option. They just want your money they don’t care about hair health.

  • @patriciaannhenderson9533

    Thank you, my mom only used water and Vaseline on my natural curly hair as a kid and it grew, very healthy. It was only when I got older I used all those different products that damaged my hair, or going to stylist that my hair was burned out after 2 weeks of salon care, I have been afraid to go back thinking, the heat will burn my hair out again. Now I'm trying to get my natural curly hair to get back right, it can be very heart broken. Thanks for sharing, I wish you were here in Houston area.❤

  • @janethomas7873

    You are right bro once a year is the most to trim your hair if you take care of it. Most stylists are scissor happy. Im tired of paying people for messing up and chopping off my hair so I stopped going 12 years ago and ain’t looked back. My hair has been the longest and thickest it’s ever been in my life with my own regimen and trust I keep it simple.

    One of the "creators" of iamblackgirlcurls literally charges 400$ for her services and she specifies that her clients have to come every 3-4 months. If you go beyond that time period you have to pay the "first time curly cut" price which is upwards of 500$. It's insane! I get curly cuts, and I haven't experienced issues with them since getting them, and it's been about 2yrs but my stylists charges 150 and I choose to go to her every 4 months, she has said I can come every 6 months if I want to but I personally don't like going that long without a cut

    Your message is the truth, when you go to most stylists with questions & concerns, they usually cop an attitude. That's why I stopped going to these salons, it's their arrogance, yet I'm the one paying them money. I use grease & water (no hair straightening at all, no fake hair or wigs) & trim my own hair. Its managed to grow healthy long without their "professional" help.

    I've been a cosmetologist for 24 years, and u are so right. I do my own hair because I am not going to let nobody mess my hair up, period. In my opinion, these natural hair products are not good. I say stick to the basics because a lot of those products to me also cause split ends.

  • @joypenniless6853
    @joypenniless6853 Před rokem +2

    Of course you live in Atlanta. Everything you spoke was right on. I long ago stopped going to hair salons for all of the reasons you noted. The last time I let someone touch my very fine, very dense (most stylist don't even know what that means) I ended up w/ a yeast infection and lost 1/3 of my 4cz 17 inches of hair. I had to do a BIG CHOP and the worst area of hair lost took 1.5 years to begin to grow back & is still shorter than the rest of my hair. I was hoping you were in LA - I'd be their next month. Oh well, I'll keep doing my own hair and watch it thrive.

Hopefully one day I can have a full head of healthy hair.

  • @elisadavis345

    So glad I came across you calling out someone I had recently been put on to who would have me thinking that the way I have grown and maintained my 9 year old’s hair that is more than mid-way down her back is wrong. My knowledgeable hairstylist recently shut down her shoo abruptly. And I have been looking for a resource to help me maintain the health of my hair that she maintained with silk presses (late fall/winter) and faux locs (spring/summer/early fall every 6 weeks). Glad to have you as a resource while I have to be on my own until I find someone else equally knowledgeable who is actually into the care of the hair.

    Thank you, Narada! It’s feels so challenging finding a stylist who will execute so much care and a realistic approach as you do. And thank you for reinforcing the idea of simplicity. I’m definitely going back to that. What is your opinion on using castor oil as a sealant? I was thinking about alternating between grease and JBCO.

    • @AfrikanHairGod
      @AfrikanHairGod  Před rokem +4

    @lolitafalana Před rokem +2

    I'm dealing with this now. My ends never used to be this thin, nor my hair so weak in general. I see the tapering you speak of in my hair. I never used to have so many split ends. I thought it was just the stylists who were cutting corners in how they cut my hair, but apparently it could be my hair products too. I have just a little bit of hair milk from Mielle and some leave-in and styling cream from Melanin Haircare to phase out, but will grab me some Sulphur 8 anyway. It must be that we (or I) have introduced too much moisture into our hair.

  • @CapricornDayz
    @CapricornDayz Před rokem +1

    You are so right. I've been struggling to find a stylist to keep my hair healthy. I did the big chop in 2020. My hair had a really nice curl pattern. I was just doing the basics and my hair was growing nicely. In 2022 I decided I wanted a 'professional' to do my hair because I couldn't get my rinses right. One stylist put in black hair dye and my hair had a hue of green after a couple of weeks. She was great with detoxing my scalp though. The second stylist was awesome at the detoxing and the color. She was perfect except the last time when my hair was orange. I went to a 3rd stylist and my hair was orange and I believe she caused heat damage. This year I decided to big chop again. There was just too much heat damage. So far my hair feels like it did in 2020. I still want to go to a stylist to help me keep my hair and scalp healthy since I take blood pressure meds. I like the olaplex line, but not sure if I should be using it since I'm not a professional. I said all that to say that I wish I could visit your shop. I need someone to care for my hair and not want to put heat in it so much and to just do the basics. My biggest problem is knowing if I have split ends and getting rid of them if I do have them. Thanks for this video.
