#NaturalHair #AfroSeason #HairJourney
This was the one natural hair video I’ve needed for years. Just the maintenance of fros and not just achieving one. But it didn't seem like people liked to wear fros so I was struggling by myself.
I agree.
Same. I’ve always liked big, frizzy hair, but it was so hard finding simple routines with my hair texture.
The afro is everything for me
So glad you’re deciding to fro because this is helping me out a ton! I always end up having to do more maintenance than I feel like I should throughout the week when I fro.
You see our afro natural is not deffiicult to maintain its super easy
The issue is everybody is always trying to hide their texture with braid outs and twist outs and get upset when their hair turns out the same anyway
Thanks so much for sharing your routine!
The most I’ve intentionally worn an afro was 2-3 days max. Your other recent videos on afros had me seriously reflecting on why I never tried wearing the style more than a few days per week.
Maybe in my case, it was a combination of having waist length coily hair in an enormous afro (and the sometimes negative or unpredictably uncomfortable encounters with strangers) and a fear that wearing my long hair loose for more than a few days per week was length suicide.
I definitely feel like afros are generally considered a more attention-seeking style- even though the care and maintenance for mine (and evidently yours) was about the same or less than other styles. Idk if afros are rarer on women because they seem to spark more prejudice in others or because of maintenance issues or some combination of these things, but it’s patently ridiculous how much I like the style and have kinda censored myself of rocking it because doing so seems to ruffle the feathers of the people around me- including other Black people, mind you. Even in 2020🤯
What do you mean by wearing our hair naturally in an afro is an "attention-seeking style?
I am very confused 🤔
@@madisonrussell2160 I wear my hair in a afro some days. I'm confused also how wearing natural hair in a afro is attention seeking. I was born with this hair. I don't understand how simply being me and wearing my natural hair is attention seeking.
@@antoniohodo1015 I 100% agree I don't get how wearing our hair natural is attention seeking that's like saying people that wear their hair straight because that is natural for them are attention seeking to
I realize this is an old post but the message hit home for me. I understand completely what kxlot79 is saying. For the past 6-7 years, I've kept my hair stretched and pinned up and only occasionally wearing a braid out. The past two days, I reluctantly wore an afro, very similar to ALove4me. It's an odd feeling even though it felt the most free and the most natural from all the hair styles I've worn. I felt like I was calling attention to myself. I mean, it's not very often you see naturals sporting a big fro, at least not in my city so, yeah, it sort of sticks out. Unlike women with naturally straight hair, they are all over the place so nothing unique about the way they wear their hair. People can't help but to stare at a big afro, even if briefly. I also have not figured out how to stop the ends from curling and tangling. I started with a twist out then manipulated the hair into a fro but as the day went on my ends curled up and began to tangle. Thought it would be a nightmare to detangle if I wore my afro longer than two days. So, I "tamed" my natural hair back down to a more conforming natural hair style. I think to wear a sizeable afro, especially as a woman, you have to expect stares, knots (unless you've figured out how to avoid them), people thinking you are a militant or have radical political views, and/or are seeking attention. With all that said, I think it would be really hard to keep an afro with waist length hair. I have given up on the idea of having hair that long so I'm looking to do something other than tucking, stretching, plaiting, cornrowing, locing, and hiding (weaves, wigs), which seems to be the way most natures go unless they are vloggers. I am going to try my afro again. Maybe the more I do it, the less strange it will feel and I will be able to block out what other people might be thinking. Happy Fro Journey!
Yesss ❤️. Non-stretched Wash N goes are my main style and I rarely get knots of any kind. It can be done. Glad to see it translates with the Fro!
Love the puff! Try also a puff at the top , middle and the bottom for a Mohawk. You seem so stoked wearing that gorgeous volumous fro. Good idea using the gator for your coif...less stressful and damaging to the hairline.Shoot the side part is nice too. Volume is everything😄
Fabulous fro, thanks for sharing. Hope your feeling better!
I never ever wore my real fro as a style before and now I want to..and wanted to know how to maintain it...thanks
That's what I love about our Natural hair it's so versatile, until next video Stay Blessed and Be Safe❤
Your fro looks glorious!😍😍
Your hair is so, so beautiful 😍😍 I’m chuckling because our routines are so similar. The “base style” that I do doesn’t matter much: braidout, twistout, rod set, wash and go (gel), wash and fro (no gel). All of them have the same maintenance routine and lowkey end up looking the same after running and workouts, etc. lol.
Same!!
Black hair rocks luv it
Very nice and interesting week in your hair, your Afro brings back so many memories from my high school day (1976), when I wore an Afro for my senior year. It wasn’t a planned thing although my older sister had an Afro like Angela Davis, anyways I went to the college boards with a cousin-in-law, when she had to perform the half shaved look on a client (me), that was a thing then also, anyways when we came back from Austin, Tx. I decided to shave my hair pretty low actually it was summer before my senior year, and my hair grew back out during Sr. year, and I loved my Afro, didn’t let it get as long as your hair is, but it was a nice length and I again loved my hair, right now with the texture and strands being as fine as they are will merely flop, I think if I cut it shorter as many ladies in my age group has done, then I would most likely get my fro back. Who knows anyways after this long post I enjoyed watching your fro week and sharing what you did as well as what was learned during this time. Sorry long post!😁😁
Thx for sharing
Another great video. I have to say, your Dickey wash n go video really has been a game changer for my routines. I definitely don't have wash day every 1-2 days. But it taught me the power of every 4-5 days instead of going the full seven. Going 7 days or more increases the knots and tangles. It worked out great for shower wash n go styling and I want to apply it to my Afro styling as well.
Love your approach! There is no reason why we need to be concerned about our hairstyle when we exercise.I wear a stretchy headband to cover my hairline when I am in between coloring the gray.Thank you for the tip on single strand knots, my nemesis.Will look for your other videos
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching
So fortunate steam doesn’t shrink your hair. Mine draws all the way up and tangles.
I really love videos like this. Thanks 😊
Thank you for this video. I have been working on my fro for a while. It looks great on you.
I’m going to try the steam method! I just hope my hair doesn’t get wet!
I need the Loc Soc and those satin scrunchies ☺️
Really enjoyed watching this thankyou for sharing
Thank you so much for coming through with the Week in my Afro, video! Great, effortless maintenance! What is fabric of your tube cap and who make it, please.
Soclocsoc.com
@@ALove4Me Thanks much!!!
Dollar Tree sells them for $1. It's supposed to be a face mask but I wear mine on my hair.
New subcriber!!! I always wanted to do this but I thought this was impossible to were your from for a week.
Thank you for this vid!!
Is it in its natural hair color? Are the ends naturally golden brown?
Your hair is beautiful and thick!🎉
Thank you! No, the ends of my hair is from old color
I was gonna ask do you have to re-moisturize or do you just do because you want to.
So thanks for answering that.
I was always wondering was your hair getting dry mid week
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing 😇
Thanks for watching!
My hair is a Afro and it’s is always dry at the tips , if I wear it in curls it’s okay but when I want to wear a Afro it looks weird , dry and crispy .
Informative!x
Beautiful! How often you add water, products to your hair? Mornings or night?
Just the one time you saw in the video. No more than that.
@@ALove4Me okay, thank you.
Hi
I am interested in the night head gear in your video where can I purchase?
soclocsoc.com
I have a problem with it not being as full for me on top. Any tips
Pat it down to make it more compact
Hi
Thanks for responding
I went on the website and they do not have the Loc sac listed.
Any suggestions?
Is it listed as a Bandana?
hey are probably between supply. I would either DM them on IG to find out when they will be back in stock or check back later
@@ALove4Me
Thanks.
Your hair is BEAUTIFUL
👍🏼💕
what do you do to your hair when you moisturize at night to keep the fro?
I don't moisturize at night
What mositerizer you use. I don’t know any good ones
Check out this video czcams.com/video/nCqX8yk2EDU/video.html
If I pull back my Afro my edges are thin
Is that just your natural hair line?
@@ALove4Me I don't know ,it's funny because my hair does whatever it wants sometimes it looks thin and ugly and sometimes it looks thick and curly and perfectly round shape and i get alot of comments a day . I realize if I try to make my hair like mixed girls and a whole bunch of products in it ,it looks 🤪 crazy and dried .
idk how your hair managed to stay stretched throughout the week like that. Impossible for me but good tips overall.
Oh it shrunk. My hair is long, so it doesn't appear like much
Does it not tangle or shrink?
Does both, but not more than any other hairstyle I wear
@@ALove4Me thanks
I thought the scarf you put on your natural hair had to be satin. Does it really matter lol.
It doesn't matter on my hair, just a soft fabric
Does your locsoc bleed? They didn’t when the company first started but my newest ones do.
No, but the ones I own are a few years old
