As a curly head for 8+ years who has had ups and downs with their hair, I wholeheartedly agree with you. People should do what works for them. Not everyone has the time to take a day out of their life to do their hair. If braids are your thing, amen. If you don't want to straighten it, amen. If you want to dye, amen. I personally get protective styles or wear wigs for my dose of wanting to do something different, but this year I decided to go to a dominican hair salon to straighten it and trim my ends. Eso si, it was someone I trusted, and the entire time I was 👀 EVERYTHING. When I washed my hair, it went right back to it's natural state and it hasn't been finicky. Will I do it consistently? No. Only when I feel the need to do so, which honestly is very rare just because I have so many alternatives. I did get some backlash from some folks, but we can't all be happy, so 🤷🏻♀️.
I agree, continue doing what makes sense for you. I'll never understand why someone will put their 2 cents in when nobody asked. I'd personally be a bit nervous to fully straighten my hair, so I can see why you'd be hesitant- but you know what to do to get your curls back and change is necessary sometimes. I'm happy to hear the curls bounced right back tho 🙌😭❤
I honestly don’t even have the desire to have “perfect” curls. I’m natural now 8 years and I straighten my hair 4 times a year and gets trims 4 times a year. I get bored with my hair easily so I def cannot totally wear my curls all the time anyway My hair wouldn’t be considered “healthy” to someone with perfect curls but my hair is still thriving and growing and is way healthier than it was when I had a relaxer and was using heat every 2 weeks. To alot of people , if your curls aren’t perfect , your hair is damaged and that is total bullsht
I agree, it is BS. Natural hair is natural hair- adding heat to your hair doesn't make you not natural. There's too many curly police on the internet that have way too much time on their hands 😭- keep doing you girl!
@@trinitym5552 when I say damaged I don’t mean split ends. I mean just because your curls look a little different than they used to people calling them “damaged” or because they ain’t perfect and “completely “ healthy people wanna call them damaged. I made this comment cause I seen a video of a stylist showing a client’s hair saying she been wearing “wet buns “ too much and it altered her curls and caused damaged, but her curls didn’t even look “damaged”. They just were maybe a little looser or looked different or maybe weren’t “perfect” in the stylist’s eyes. But her curls looked fine to me. im no stylist but all im saying is your hair don’t have to be 💯 percent “perfect” for your hair to be healthy.
I actually think that there's a newer movement of naturals learning to do their hair properly with the advice of natural hair specialists like black girl curls. Alot of us are no longer spending all day doing our hair and are using quality products 👌
OK I LOVE MY CURLY HAIR
Thank you thank you thank you! I would not be where I am at in my curly hair journey without ladies like you. Please keep the curly instructions, techniques and advice coming. You are appreciated!!!!
Aw thank you angel! I appreciate that ❤❤ Thank you for your endless support!
I think it depends on what someone wants for their hair. There’s so many things that can easily damage your curls. And I seen someone comment on IG that they are tired of this “ if your curls aren’t perfect they are damaged movement “ and I definitely felt that !
I agree with this! There's so many curly police out here bullying people and its definitely discouraging alot of people. People just need to mind their business 😭
@@curlelia yesss!!! Thanks for responding beautiful 😊
Girlllll I got one blow out and had to start over again LOL 😅. I actually never big chopped my first time around and had to this time and it made me realize to not put all my beauty in that aspect of myself. All of that to say I will probably not straighten it again just to show off length and toot my own horn LOL just gonna love my curls and how they are naturally. It’s a struggle but when you lose it you realize you can’t get it back without a do over #lessonlearned
awwww mannnn! You see this is something I've learned about my hair- it's sensitive to heat styles. I don't know if I'd trust someone to straighten it for me at this point in my life because I'm very happy with how things are. But I get the urge to see your length and switch it up. Sometimes we have to experience damage in order to appreciate what we have. This journey the 2nd time around will be more seamless babe- you got this!
Natural hair is freedom 🔥 I’ll never go back to relaxer and need to change my profile picture asap 😂😂
I agree that people should be able to do what they want with their hair. We are all individuals & sometimes a change is wanted or needed.
I feel like the curly hair community really showed up for me in recent years. It took me till I was in my late 20's to gather any type of knowledge on my hair. I used to hate my curls because I had no control or understanding of them.im so grateful to influencers and these social media platforms for creating a space to come when I need assistance. I've only recently in the last 5yrs learned about sulfates and silicones, and tbh, I think the start of my journey benefited from eliminating them from my routine. I havent decided if I'm ready to add them in just yet but my hair is the healthiest its ever been and growing 😁
I'm so glad this community has been more helpful than negative for you! It was definitely very helpful for me as well when I first started, but I wish i had more diversity to look up to- now, there's SO many curlies that are documenting their journeys and sharing tips- so I love to see it! I say if you're comfortable where you are, don't add anything in! If your routine is working for you, theres no need to change it (in my opinion!) - Sending you continuous hair growth and hair health vibes in this upcoming year boo! ❤
Amazing!!!!Thank you for making this video! #proudcurlygirl
I have never straightened my curls but I have dyed my hair . Now that I'm comfortable and had a routine that works I have been enjoying my curls. On the other hand my curls are dry naturally so that is probably why I use natural products and color on my hair .
@curlelia Thank you so muchhhh for this video.. the day that it was posted.. I was so close to give up…. Eres mi inspiración. Dos años siguiéndote.. Happy Holidays
Natural hair forever!
I love my curls, no heat
Mines just getting started and it’s been hard to find things that work for my hair. I have so much frizz. It’s my fault for getting my hair done to have straight hair. I regret it so much. Now I’m trying my best to get back to my natural curls I once had. Wish me luck.
Thanks for sharing. I’m naturally curly. I thought about getting the Dyson air wrap to straighten and wand curled sometimes. I don’t know I can’t commit to yet. Love my curls.
Outweigh the pros and cons! You can start your curly hair journey any time you want.. if you want to have a little fun with heat styles- I'd say do it! But I wouldn't do both if your goal is to have healthy curls. When you're in the process of restoring your curls, the smallest amount of heat can set you back 1000 steps- TRUST ME 😭
For starters, I love your hair and you are definitely one of my favorites along with other beautiful curly girls! When I BC'ed, this was first place I came to, to learn about my curly hair and to find hair products. I love curly hair and I love my curly hair. I was relaxed for so many years and I've only been natural for almost 3 years. I wished I went natural years ago. I get so many compliments on my curls!
Awwww thank YOU! I love that I've been a part of your journey for as long as I have. I feel like we all wish we could go back in time. But we can only look forward- we'll continue to love up on our hair for the years to come ❤ sending you healthy hair and hair growth vibes boo!
I will say I still want my lovely bounce curls ..never give up until I got them .. + I love you girl ❤️
I feel you 100% I’ve been natural for over 5 years and recently I got tired of wash and go s and twist out so I got locs I’m still a natural hair girl but instead of curly hair I just have locs and to be honest I feel better with locs than curly hair but that’s just me and who knows maybe years from now I’ll go back to curly hair.
I gave up on curly hair twice and I found it so much easier to stick with when I don’t have to use the curly girl method. My hair is healthier and easier to manage with no stress over ingredients. I found straightening my hair to be work too - a blow out took forever too and then it was high maintenance trying to get rid of curls and frizz. Curly hair has its own challenges but as someone who has bounced back and forth and transitioned 3 times from straight to curly, I get it.
Personally,
I don’t know why people think someone else’s opinion matters. Dò what works for you 😊
I'm getting a texturizer. Can't deal with 4a thick hair anymore. Still curly, but easier to manage. Love your curls. 😍
I fully support this, especially if this makes your life easier! Thank you ❤
@@curlelia Thank you for the support, love you! 🤗💕
The fact that you know that people “feel” like it’s their hair is the root of that failed or dying movement. I’m happy you’re happy with your curly identity. A curly. Never heard that one before. ✨ do you! ✨✨✨✨
I know it can seem crazy, but in part I can see how people can become attached to someone else's hair! I'll be honest, I've caught myself doing this- then realized it doesn't matter what someone does to THEIR hair. But if you're not able to hear someone's opinions and still proceed with your own- I could definitely see why the movement seems pointless to them at this point
Alot of loose naturals are getting locs for the easy maintenance. I was one of em. 😂❤
Love this.... In my Instagram platform .I started to put products I used...but that was not for me. So I erased those post. So I change it.. to coloring... Any kind of art to heal.. lately I have done natural hair coloring books self care.
Most of my childhood was relaxers like a lot of little black girls. I didn’t start figuring out my curls until college and as career life took over I realized relaxed hair was easier to manage and helped me move up career wise. But then as I realized I could go further with either relaxed or my natural hair I decided to stay natural until Covid hit and I was an essential worker and had no time for my hair as I still only knew what to do with it when relaxed so I relaxed it again and still loved it straight. During a time when death could’ve come for me at any time my hair was not the biggest concern in a pandemic. But once I was no longer an essential worker and had a higher paying job and had the freedom to pay attention to my hair again, I cut it all off and went back natural, and since I know the secrets to my curls, again even when they get longer I feel more confident to be able to handle it even when it gets longer even though I know it’s going to be hard and difficult. I did a lot of research and saw the hair war in the black community which I never understood because the world doesn’t ever want us to forget we are black so hearing “you want to be white if you relax your hair” from a black person was just annoying. But now I’m trying protective hair styles and it’s been working so far in helping me on my natural journey. The most freeing thing to me as a black woman is knowing I can do whatever I want to my hair and it does not impact my career or my money. I am still true to myself no matter what my hair looks like.
Bendito, the way you were being careful with your words... People.need.to.stop.policing.other.people's.bodies. It's an incredibly weird time to be living and an incredibly weird space to be living in when to be an influencer means you are owned by your audience. It's a journey. If you know, you know--- to be a curly head means nothing is ever consistent, not all products give the same results every time, sometimes you need a break from your curly hair (YES YOU DO), it will forever be a love journey because to invest that much time and care takes love and patience. Let people live!!! Go live your own life, sheesh. I live curly because my hair does not want to be straight and will embarrass me in a drop. It will forever set me straight about attempting straight hair. That's why wigs exist. If folks want to switch it up, let them. It really is no thing.
I just know how sensitive of a topic this is for a lot of people... The last thing I want to make anyone feel is bad for thinking they're helping someone with their opinions- when they're doing the complete opposite. But don't get me wrong, I love my audience- I'd be lying if I said I don't want to disappoint you guys though. SO I can understand that fear of being the person who helped you, to being the person who's causing damage to their own hair- you know? But I'll always stand by doing whatever brings you joy. If it's not hurting anyone, and you didn't ask for an opinion- people need to learn their place and just stay in their lane. 😅
Yo amo mi cabello cuando hice la transicion la hice por aceptacion y no porque fuera un trend, muchas se han cansado por eso porque lo hicieron por tendencia en la redes, porque eso es lo malo de las redes sociales que una hace algo y la otra o otro lo quiere hacer!! Yo me acepte, me amo como soy y seguire siendo rizada porque yo lo decidí.
I'm just done with all the natural hair gimmicks. Chebe powder, onion juice, fenugreek... Going back to the basics. No longer gonna be a product junkie or making products.
Right just water and oil for me. I am loc’d though 😂
Personally its hard for me to find products that work for my hair, plus i work so much its hard to dedicate 2 hours a day for my hair. But i dont like doing non natural things to my hair so i just put it in. A bun😢
I know for me, after 10+ years of dedicating myself to being natural and trying to love my hair, it just hasn't happened for me. My hair has never looked the way I've wanted it to and I don't find it suits me at all. It's really difficult because I feel like I look better and more "my age" with straight hair, but straightening it makes me feel like I'm trying to erase my ethnicity. It's a never-ending struggle and I do feel the pull towards the straight side after all this time. And then sometimes I also just wish that my texture was looser and easier to manage. It's so frustrating and I totally get the feeling of just feeling tired with your hair.
Im sorry you never loved your hair. God created it just perfectly
@@friedchicken892 thank you for this comment ❤
@@groovynovy Your welcome. May you plant the word of God in your heart when these thoughts arise
@Trinity M do you know @sm personally stfu with that @sm is the problem. It is ignorant people like you passing judgments. Gossip.
I feel like the natural hair movement is dead only bc we aren’t forcing girls with curls to deal with their hair. For example, you have amazing fully curly hair that u clearly manage very well. Some women just can’t handle their curls and using chemical straighteners works better for them. We’re at a point where it’s like do what’s best for u m, but don’t shame women who don’t want to deal with their natural hair
Why wouldn’t you go to a Dominican salon?
