Thank you for an excellent service! I look forward to taking my freshly trimmed hair through this year with all your advice. I’m so happy with how it turned out 😊. Very gentle use of heat to get me a nice start to the year
You are so welcome!
👑 @Raquel M ... thanks for sharing your REAL experience with us. Looking forward to witnessing your journey with 👑 #AfrikanHairGod❣️❤️
This was the most thorough trim I’ve ever seen! 😲
I reall wish I can find a stylist who has common sense thinking and experience you can not find in a classroom.
Love this❤
On the original video thank you for saying the client should always feel like they are in control. Ive felt very anxious and nervous in many chairs and I don't know how to address the hair stylist because I don't want them to retaliate or be offended and then mess me up. Thank you for reminding us we should feel safe.
Great information about trimming, its benefits, along with how to trim. I love actually watching you trim hair. And, thanks for the explanation of why and how single strand knots form.
Thank you so much for watching!
I don’t think you understand how helpful this was. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us I feel that you are actually trying to help us. Thank You! I’ll be looking out for your next live :))
Oh my GOD I love your professionalism!!! Every TIME I watch a reel, clip, or full video of yours, you offer greater discernment and education. 😊
Thank you so much!
I love how DETAILED your trims are!!! ❤
Thank you! Cleanliness is next to godliness and I like to be thorough with all of my services.
I love the way you are cutting her hair and taking your time. I'm getting my hair trimmed next month by a new styling. My last styling just trimmed so much off I walked out mad. This time I am going to talk to my styling.
Yes all them to let you face the mirror so you can see what they are cutting. You are in control. Let them show you the damage that needs to go. If they can't clearly show you then they don't need to cut anything
I keep my ends trimmed and I still see a lot of single strand knots soon after clipping. If I look at my ends, sometimes I’ll see single strand knots in the process of forming.
Do you keep your hair moisturized
@@dominiquewyatt6704 I thought I was…. I think my hair just naturally loops on itself
@@Academiacaramelcurlz you’re not alone sis
Protein treatments are sometimes necessary
Noooooo! They must be stopped!
This was so satisfying to watch! I LOVE my hair twisted... but GOOD LORD it’s soooo thick and relatively long(chest length). It’s such a production to do at home.😒 My most trusted stylists were always so honest. I would visit them maybe 4 times per year, and they would say “You still don’t need a trim. If you WANT it cut, I’ll do it, but you don’t need it yet”. It’s so good to have someone that knows what they’re doing, and not just go through the motions, or do what they were taught in cosmetology school, IF that doesn’t serve their clients properly. YOU ARE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! I love watching your work.👏🏽❤️
I stop going to hairstylists they don’t listen
While I realize I’m late to your party, I need you in my life!!❤❤❤
Hello and thank you! I live in Switzerland and I cannot say there is anywhere i can go to help my hair flourish. I just appreciate your clear wisdom and skill. Hoping that one day I can get your help because the struggle is so real😅
I loved the sectioning and the care and attention to detail with this cut
I actually stopped going to a few stylist because I felt pressured to cut a lot
This was relaxing to watch while listening to the answers to every natural’s questions about trims and cuts
Pen Ready and taking Notes!!! I love your candid discussions about healthy hair care! When I fly into Powder Springs, I am gonna attempt a visit with you!!!
This was extremely helpful and well done! You thoroughly answered so many questions that I had! Thank you so very much!💖🥰
Thank you for watching! I'm glad!
Omg...I know I'm a little late. I'm uncovering your channel. This is the 2nd video that I'm watching and I'm sooooooooo happy to see the Afrikan Hair God do his thing. What I truly enjoyed hearing and seeing is your ability to let everyone KNOW that each client is different and every regiment is not for everyone and I LUV 💚 how you empower as well as take in consideration what the client WANTS. Keep doing U!...👀🎁🎊🌠💫😊
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the content!
I love the way you do hair, AHG 😊
Thank you so much Karis!
I’ve been trying to be more proactive with seeing my stylist once a quarter to get a trim and blow out. The past two quarters I’ve notice increased single strand knot. As early as my first wash after the blow out. I wash weekly and alternate between WNGs, low ponytail, or 2 strand twists. It’s been hella frustrating during detangle time because my ends are like Velcro and I’m like how sway and I got a trim a few weeks ago. Watching this has me wanting to troubleshoot with my stylist cause something ain’t adding up.
I love the care and consideration you have for your clients. I wish you were in Houston!
I have such anxiety around going to hair stylist because I cannot say what I really want. I think I’ve never been to a stylist that had natural hair it was either relaxed or 3s or 2s. So I couldn’t relate to them I just stopped going.
Well first off it's your responsibility to be able to clearly communicate your desires, expectations, and goals for your hair. We cannot read your mind and everyone has personal preferences on style and hair. You really shouldn't assess someone's ability to do your hair based on the appearance of their own hair. If that was the case, no one would sit in my chair since I don't have any hair on my head. I think you need to really take time to assess what it it is that you really want for your hair and what you want from a stylist and be reasonable enough to meet them halfway. Getting the best out of a salon service is a mutual team effort and you have to be willing to work with the stylist.
@@AfrikanHairGod I usually elaborate more on a post I didn’t mean to offend you or disrespect the profession. I have a hard time saying what I what and being assertive I just go with the flow and in my own personal experiences the stylist were sweet kind and well intentioned but because they don’t deal with natural or have natural hair they were sometimes not gentle with detangling or they wanted to straighten my hair sometimes saying can you be more gentle feels like I’m being bossy so for myself being a people pleaser I can’t bring myself to say anything. I should have led with I appreciate you giving your client space to that. My anxiety gets the best of me and I just decide to stop going. I’ve been watching your videos for many many years and only commented on your skating video I hope I didn’t offend you that was not my intention.
@@SanaaJadeCruz I apologize if my reply came off a bit too strong or harsh. That wasn't my intention I'm just direct and blunt sometimes. I really do understand how you feel as I am nonconfrontational as well. We have all been there when we could have and should have spoken up a bit more. I think you need someone that is much more accommodating and is able to mesh better with your communication style and perhaps help lead and guide you to the service that is suitable for you. My reply was just giving perspective as a stylist. I've been in situations where my client was unhappy but didn't allow me the opportunity to know or accommodate. As I said before it's a team effort and it's about finding the right partner to assist and service you. I apologize again for my brash tone.
Hello! I just love your videos! Wanted to ask if you could direct me to a video of yours where you discuss how to maintain hair while in knotless braids. Such as what to do, how often, as well as promoting growth and continued health while protective styling. Living abroad and trying to do my best on my own as hair care professionals are not available so I look to you! Much love and Thank you for what you do!💕
A lot of the advice you give is so true and it makes sense now you mention it, thank you. You're very good at your job
Thank you so much for watching!
I just love ❤ you Rada... I'm coming to the A to get my hair done by you. I need a real trim not just a straight across cut. I haven't been to a stylist ina few years and i got layers bcus my hair had thinned out severely due to meds and surgery. I tried to do my own trim took off about 3" but more needs to go. I'm going back to twists to get it back to tailbone or longer my gma could sit on her hair she kept it in a bun an wore wigs when she went outside.
I appreciate you for this. I was seriously considering cutting all my hair off.
OMG I love you.. you’re telling me everything that has happened to me.They tried to turn me away and I said no I wanna see. Just like my nail technician told me 2 days ago that I didn’t need acrylic on my phone. I told her when she’s paying she can do what she wanna do but I’m paying. Also trying to make me second-guess myself I just do what I want. Also I won’t be making another appointment so you can rush through my hair
Narada is simply the best . I LOVE YOUR VIDS. I think I need2 plan a trip to Georgia. What city are you in? Can I book an appointment with you?
All of the salon and booking information can be found in the description box. 😊
@@WhatTheKink 👍 thx
Oh wow !! Raquel’s hair type looks nearly identical to mine! 😍 I love your approach to hair btw!! It’s legit!
Thank you so much!!
You are the stylist I am and wish I can be for myself but can’t step out of my body to do my own hair if that makes any sense 🤣. So glad I found your channel💕
Here a third time viewing this 'clip', pun intended❣️🤣 Sure I will return again ... Love Raquel's final results‼️❤️
Excellent statement about cuts correcting most problems. Thanks. ❤
I need this exact thing done to my neglected hair😫 I LOOOOVE hope you part sections small to get a better cut
Her hair wasn’t dry to me. It was dull which I suffer with when my hair is blown but not when it’s naturally curly which is light refraction exactly like you said.
Where are you located to get my natural hair back on track🧐
Very beautiful lady and healthy set of hair. I can tell she's liking the trim 💕
Her hair looks longer, thicker and healthier after the trim. ❤
Ive found splits going up my strand, not always at the end. And yes I get single strand knots 😢
Absolutely love the vlogs so much great information. I am a natural hair girl and wish I could sit in your chair (maybe one day ❤) again thanks for all the great information.
I really enjoyed this video. Very informative! I notice my ssk come from my baby naps rubbing up against a rough area ALONGGGG with my hair not being moisturized so I agree with that part. Ive been natural for 11 years now and I took over trimming my own, like 6 years ago. I used to let the Egyptians trim it and give it a good blow dry 3 times a year but I went about 6 months ago and before that, it was 3 years. I love trimming my ends in twists but if I don't trust myself or I'm being lazy, I'm seeing my Egyptian friends lol. Thank you for this video ❤️
Great information love your advice
Have you ever detangled very dry matted natural hair (4b-4c range)? From a prolonged protective style and neglect? How would you go about detangling hair in such state with minimal breakage?
You can see a couple videos i have on detangling matted hair. Taking down matted hair is a stressful process so it's going to come with some damage
czcams.com/video/jLN2UyXu40M/video.htmlsi=o_fepk-mV5IGd80C
I always enjoy your videos, please keep the info coming!
I really need to come to you! 😆 🤣
Love these trim videos❤ wow the shape is beautiful
this was relaxing to watch
Absolutely everything you are saying is true. I'm around 26:00 and my heart is full of love! Simply because you're so right but also so passionate. The way you cut hair is so refreshing too like... Going to a typical salon they act so dramatic like they're in a movie playing a character. They pull the hair up and snip it so fast it's ridiculous. It's as if they're trying to look fancy or some sh*t lol. I find single strand knots a lot too and i have type 2-3. Anyway yeah you should be proud because your knowledge and passion is so wonderful and the way you explain everything is so helpful and easy to understand. Plus it's a lil spicy sometimes which is like the cherry on top 😂💚
How often do you recommend sharpening hair shears? I've been trimming my hair at home and I've just been buying a new pair every time i feel like they're not sharp enough
I really wish I lived near you!
Did you post the wrong video earlier today? I saw it already before i was confused😂
I did. I was doing like 3 things at once today. Sorry for the confusion
I wish I could trust a stylist enough to go and get my hair trimmed Bcus my hair is so uneven and damaged I need help.😢
It's the NATURAL SHEEN for me!!!
I need a stylist like you! Thanks so much for your channel!
You are so welcome!
I love to hear you talk❤
Aww thank you! In that case. Check out my Playlist called natural hair watch party. We do a weekly live reaction show to hair videos since quarantine
I can't find a good stylist to trim my hair because I live in Korea and have lived here for almost a decade. There are a couple military moms that live off base (I'm not military so I'm not allowed on base) who have illegal home salons but they're not the greatest. And they're usually only here temporarily for like a year or 2. The one I was seeing left last year and she wasn't great and would rip through my hair. The only other one I know of is about 4 hours away and the last time she trimmed my hair, she blew it out without a heat protectant because it wasn't included in the service I got lol. For some reason it's included in silk presses though. Anyway, it was a trek to get to her and immensely expensive since she's military and charges in USD but I make a measley weak KRW.
Can we see some of the finish product
I appreciate this video, thank you for the guidance.
I've been self trimming my hair for years now and I would prefer a stylist to trim it and have a talk with them about taking care of it so- wish me luck to find one as knowledgeable and helpful like u in Los Angeles because I won't know (not from that state) 😂
I got really tired of going to a doctor or a stylist or anybody that I’m paying for a service or treatment from where they got in their feelings when I have questions or I have requests or voice my concerns. I fired every last one of them #!@&.
Do you recommend moisturizing your hair like mid week when you feel it’s dry? Or can you go a whole week without remoisturizing your hair? Can bonnets damage/dry your hair that aren’t silk. Ive been using a curl case for my hair
Hi can you recommend a good pair of scissors for trimming at home?
To be honest it really doesn't matter at the price range that yall are buying it at. As long as it's about $30 dollars or so you can expect it to do what you need it to do. You don't need to put much thought into which shears you get
@@AfrikanHairGod Thank you. I really appreciate you getting back to me. I didn't want to overspend because I'm not a professional but I also didn't want to mess up my hair with cheap shears.
@@AfrikanHairGod oh and thanks again for your recommendation for the Apoghee leave in. I have less breakage or shedding when I did my two strand twist over this month.
@@AfrikanHairGodI appreciate that you always stress technique over specific products.
What is your recommendation when there’s a lot of splits ends that split high up the strand?
That requires more of an in depth analysis as to why the hair is splitting so high in the first place. You can't really fix a problem if you don't address the cause. So there's not really anything generally speaking that I would recommend. It depends on each person.
@@AfrikanHairGod that’s a good point. I don’t know why. It’s a problem I’ve ALWAYS had. My hair is also very brittle. My hair is very dry and I try my best to keep it moisturized but it takes a 3-4 days of applying water/moisturizer for my hair to retain moisture and not feel dry. I’ve grown it very long and I’ve had it super short, the issue gets worse when my hair is long (of course). I get a trim 1-2 times a year. My hair is natural (been natural 20+ years). I’m now in the process of growing out my hair out again and currently is mid-back when stretched. I don’t get presses or weaves. I mostly wear it in twists or out in an Afro. Single strand knots are not an issue… just the multiple splits of one strand and high up splits. Sometimes I feel like cutting it all off and starting over.
@@niliptytrim your hair every three months instead of twice a year
How far in advance could a person schedule an appointment with either you or Henny?
As early as you like. Your deposit will secure your date so just make sure it's a date that your can commit to
@@AfrikanHairGod thanks for responding! I’m trying to convince my family to take a trip to Georgia so I can slide my way into your chair lol. Hope to meet you guys this year!
Hi, Is it OK to cut natural hair when it's wet? Thank you.
Yes. It's ideal when suitable
Sir... put me in your chair! Are you taking new clients?
My ends of my hair are straight, it is best to get a big chop or cut a little each time. My mom says to jsut cut it each time especially sense I usually wear my hair and it’s very long.
I was wondering, it that just worse, waiting and not cutting it off, it won’t like travel up, right?
12:30 that’s what you say here
Oh and near the wrong of my hair or head or even underneath my hair that’s visible, my styles like thick twists are very damage that, very small and thin compared to the rest of my hair. Should I get that trimmed individually?
When I get it trimmed my mom was jsut saying, when it gets the the rest of the length of my hair to cut it, but I’m like eeeh, idk.
And when the lady blows out my hair, it gets my hair rlly thin, like if she flat ironed it. Is that needed, can I tell her to calm down with it a little.
❤❤❤
Why didn't you flat iron before the trim?
It's easier handling the hair with some is the texture still present
Love the cut and color. I did learn from this video to separate my hair individually. The only thing that I’m not thrilled about is it looks like her hair is very dry. Not sure what else you could’ve done to add some more moisture to her hair.🤷🏽♀️
Moisturized Hair is a BEHAVIOR not a look
Hello, are you a licensed cosmetologist?
Yes a licensed cosmetologist and Co owner of my salon of almost 10 years
Should I buy a RevAir then?
I don't think it's necessary but you should do what you feel is best for you
I have the Revair and it helps with not having to do a lot of arm work like you do with a traditional blow dryer. But if you got the arm strength and want to save some coin, just stick to the blow dryer and brush. If you have the experience and expertise, you can get it just as flat 💯
@@curlynella1011 Do you think the revair causes less damage than a traditional blow dryer? I haven't used heat in more years than I can count. But I'm considering using heat to stretch my hair because I'm having a lot of problems with breakage no matter how moisturized I keep my hair. I think stretching with a dryer could help because it will reduce tangling. So I'm trying to decide between a regular dryer and the revair.
@@Kindred04 definitely. The temperature only ranges from 176° to 220° It really gets my hair really flat without much work 💯
@@curlynella1011 Thank you!
I thought you didn’t use heat
When did I say that?
