Lol thank sis you on your the next vid
Good some up! 👌🏽 I follow basically the same routine 💁🏽♀️
Thank you!
Beautifil twists! When you do a twist out, how do you style it at night? Or you don't and just leave it frizzy the next day?
Ugh these twists 😩 they look so cute
Thank you lovely 😊
I don’t know how they do it. Mine looks like fuzzy caterpillars 🐛
omg they really are cute and she is such a beautiful Nubian queen. Its nice to watch the women who don't look like they are mixed then you know you have hope for your hair. I am trying to grow my hair too and you have a new fan.
@@solarlola5953 🤣🤣🤣 Mine too.
I know right 😩😩
Those twists are cuuuuuuuute.
Thank you!
Can you workout with the twists you have in?
You can just pull them out of your face and you’ll be fine :)
I have 4C hair and I can’t get mine to look like this.
@@Intel615 me neither. But my hair is much shorter than hers at the moment..
Lipgloss is poppin! 😍 Hair is beautiful!
Thank you ☺️
These are the neatest twists I've ever seen sis! I aspire to reach this one day & I've been natural for like 8 years.
I like how you keep closing your eyes to show off eye makeup and lashes
You sound American and British at the same time 😂
😅😅 maybe I watch too much American tv
@@RachealAkua hahaha I pick every accent in a movie after watching the movie😂😂
She sounds super british to me🤣🤷🏾♀️
Omg This is literally me
American? Um no.
The twists r TOO clean 😩👌🏾
These have to be the most beautiful twists I’ve ever seen 😍
3 years of total natural hair growth 🤯.....looking at my twa after 5 years like 😩😩😩😒😞
You’ll get there!
Sis.. same struggle.. I'm same yrs as her but mine is 1/2 length of her hair..
Have patience :) I understand where you are coming from. For a few people their hair grows really really fast. I talked about my hair growth in a few videos in the last two years.
🤣🤣🤣
no seriously
These twists look JUICYYY! Love ittt!! Great tips AND YESS FOR THE SULFATE CONTAINING SHAMPOO!!! SIS!! I literally cannot stress this enough! It is NECESSARY at least once a month. So many people's hair is suffering because they've cancelled sulfates. Your advice has made me so happy! You're doing all the right things AND IT SHOWS! Go you!
Thank you so much 😭 Yes, sulphates all the way >>
ooo the change of scenery, the quality, mate, it hit me. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Also your hair and make up 😍. I wasn't prepared
Yeah it was cold where I normally film 😂 Thank you ❤️
The twist,the gloss & the femininity exuded!!?? 🥺Damn sis just a vibe!!😩
So cute 🥰, I truly believe in mini twists lol. Really enjoyed your input during the Curls webinar this evening btw. You have such a humble spirit and I really enjoyed the tips you gave ❤️
Hey Rachael, manipulating my hair is a problem but I’m learning to leave my hair alone 😁🙌💯 Thanks for the great tips 😍
This was my first time to your channel. Your twists are sooo bomb! And your makeup 😍 sis!!!! You DID that! God bless you!
Mini twist tutorial and a makeup grwm? You look stunning
Thank you! No problem, I’ll put those on my to do list
Yass. Love this. Currently on a new healthy hair regime to get my hair to waist length. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful twists! Tutorial please 😍 Ghana represent! 🇬🇭 🙌🏿😍
🇬🇭 ayyy
I love these mini twists. I want to try them since I still have time to perfect them before going back into the office. Is there a tutorial? Lovely. 💯♥️
I feel encouraged!! Literally since the quarantine I have done nothing but mini twists and everything you said I religiously do and especially understanding my porosity like for real. I have been natural since 2010 ish I had heat damage over the years and really have been a legit curly natural fully since October 2018.
Same year and month when I did my big chop since 2018
yes i’ve been waiting on this video for foreverrrrr

The Gloved Natural can you do a tutorial please 😘
Right! I’ve been into twists lately but they’re bigger. Now I want them smaller
Congrats on hitting 100K! ❤️
I LOVE those twists😍....I can't detangle on wet hair because my hair is weak when it's wet and I don't detangle when it dry...I detangle when its damp to 50% dry😊
That’s completely fine 😀 you’ve found what works best for you x
Very clear and to the point explanations I like it even though it's the millions time I listened to those kind of advices. Still useful tips! Waiting for the hair wash day gurl... Beautiful hair
Your videos are some of the best I've found on natural hair!! Thanks for ev
erything you do!
I also love that clean feeling after shampooing
Your hair looks absolutely beautiful in those twists! 😘
I always say, "If I can't eat it, it's not going in my hair!" Try fermented rice water {FRW}; with orange peels for scent, and pure aloe vera gel {AV}. There are many tutorials on here on how to make each regimen. Btw, do not throw the skin of the AV plant away, boil it, let it cool, then squeeze the excess water out of the skin, put orange peels in it, and refrigerate. I spray that daily on my hair. My hair has been flourishing since November 2019, when I started using the FRW and AV. Edited 8.28.20: Today, I'm going to let the AV skin sit in room temperature water for one week, instead of boiling it, & get the nutrients from it that way. I'll update y'all.
I’ve an aloe plant. Can you just slit a leaf and eat a spoon and use it on hair solid or does one do stuff with the gel
Update please
sometimes there's a toxic yellow slime you need to remove first PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND WATCH WILL ON A WHIMS VIDEO ON IT
Rice water is not good for everyone, do your research before using rice water. Watch Cyndoll for more information on hair health.
Your skin is EVERYTHING 😩🥰
Can you make a video how to to take care of you’re hair if you don’t have a lot of money?
Oh that’s a good idea!
Buy creme of nature sulphate free products... you’ll love it 😊
@@Hawausanusi i have heard great reviews about there product line i must try!
Lmaooo a mood sis😩😂
I love cream of nature honey line and charcoal line.
Your eyes are gorgeous and I love the twists 😀
Great, waited for this for long. Your hair styling is very informative
Thank you!
My hair naturally grows 3/4”-1” a month on its own and I’ve been able to retain my lenght by Ayurvedic oils + instead of using water when apply products I use aloe juice, rose water, and JBCO water from as I am + I do hair rinses (rice water, tea, AVC, etc) + PREPOOS- probably the most important one guys pls don’t skip it it adds mositure and prevents hydral fatigue
Ooh there’s definitely a few things you do that I think I’ll implement in my routine
You’re speaking the truth! I know from experience.. it’s just your name. I’m so uncomfortable😩😂 cringing in fact. But you know your stuff word to Mickey
You should consider creating a channel
@@Hope-ln4dw Lmaooooo
Do you add the aloe juice and rose water to the As I am? I just bought the JBCO water and I love it. Thanks in advance.
Washing my hair weekly didn’t work for me as I lost a lot of length manipulating my hair (because you have to detangle the hair on wash days) and dealt with a lot of tangles/single strand knots. I’ve now started washing my hair every 2 weeks and keeping it in a protective style like twists/braids. I only remoisturize every 2-3 days if my hair is in a puff. So my new natural hair method is very low manipulation. It’s weird because like you, I’m used to always wearing my hair out but my goal is to retain length. So this is what I have to do.
I’m glad you found what works for you 😊
I’ve started doing this exact same thing and I’m seeing a difference in my hair. Also added some Ayurvedic herbs for my shedding
If you could do a mini twist and makeup tutorial, that would be great. Thanks for the practical tips.
I’ll put that on my to do list 😀
@@RachealAkua would love to see this look in a tutorial too!
@@RachealAkua plz do
Yesss! Mini twist tutorial pleaseeee

Your skin is gorgeous, you are absolutely beautiful 😍😍 thank you for your tips xx

I really love those mini twists it's so simple but so cute
Thank you x
I don't know if you did a mini twist tutorial but i'd love to see one! This was a great video and I love the tips! My biggest issue is leaving my hair alone. My styles never last more than 2days for some reason🤔
You and your are beautiful 😍. Love your mini twists. I would like to see a tutorial on this! Thanks for your tips and tricks. I think I will try your tips and tricks. I'm at 12 months transitioning back to natural!
🇬🇭 sis... you are so pretty 😍.. I’m totally going to listen to your tips. Thank you!

*Love these tips, and those twists. I struggle with staying consistent, ugh*
Love your makeup and hair, great video! x
How do you manage braided hair after workouts? I do workout every second day and sweat a lot. Do you have any tips? Thanks for the tips 😊
Just subscribed after watching 3 of your videos. Very good content, I like your personality! Thank you for sharing!
Your twists are so pretty! 😩😍
Thank you x
This video came at the right time 😍
Thank you
Love your lashes😍 Not too outrageous with the length. Perfect😉
Your video is encouraging, am 2 years natural too,and my hair is not as long as yours,but I will definitely be taking some of this tips.
Thank you! You’ll get there soon x
Came on here to study for my immunology test but your thumbnail got me lol
Oh my gosh sis,you are goals!!🤗❤
Please do an updated makeup routine. Your makeup is so natural looking.
"We won't be here for much longer hopefully.." 😩😂 I cannot wait for my hair to grow out so I can wear it like this!
The joico treatment balm is out of stock and the protein power treatment cannot be delivered to my location 😭 Please do you have any other substitutes for deep conditioning that are more accessible? I live in Nigeria 🤷♀️
Can you suggest any other moisture treatments that you use that work? That joico look like its discontinued and I don't want to get hooked on rare products 😫
I can listen to u talk the whole day omg🥰
Aw thank you ❤️
Wooot! Can't wait to watch
Thanks for the video.... I really like the results. The product are not available in the us, do you have any other recommendations?
Your twist are soo cute. Keep of to good work on your hair journey. Love your natural hair. Looks very healthy 👌
Thank you x
Was waiting for this! Edges tips too next time please. So even in winter u wear ur own hair 90% of the time ?
I came for the hair tips and stayed for the makeup. So beautiful and natural! Please share what you are wearing on your lips? Pretty please?
I’m not sure if I’m over manipulating my hair. I wash every week and I usually do the lco method about every two days. I’m planning to switch it to once a week.
Girl if I had that length I'd wear it out 95% of the time too
Isn't her hair beautiful? I would too, plus the twist!
Your hair is beautiful! What is your hair porosity? Also how often do you blow dry your hair?
Hair goals!! So pretty 😍
Thank you x
I'm confused on the moisturize regularly, don't manipulate your hair too often and use protective styles. Will you clarify how or when I should moisturize my hair in protective styles? Thank you so much you look great!
Thank you for these tips! Can you do a tutorial on these mini twists and the the products you used?
How did you grow your relaxer out? Did you do a big chop?
Hair style super cute. Love ur lashes. Do you get ur lashes done or you do them yourself?
*Great video, I was just inspired to start a channel to document my hair growth if I stay consistent with 1 regimen, since that is what I struggle with most*
Go for it :)
yes thanks 💪🏽
Hi , what eye shadow palette is this? Its beautiful😍
Wow, Ur hair texture is so beautiful.
Thank you so for this!! These tips will help with my hair growth! 😄❤️ And luuuurrrrvvvvee your hair!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much, glad you found it useful x
Those twists 😍😍
You mentioned you use sulphate shampoo. How often do you clarify your hair?
Thanks for sharing this. Love the twist.
when and how would you recommend I trim my ends because 🙀 I have not done so since going natural few years ago
Mm maybe every 4 months? Or you can stretch it longer if your ends aren’t too bad
How do you make twists that are these lengthy and frizz-free?
tysm ! love your "tips", makeup, n beautiful sweater. new subbie 👉🏽👈🏽🥺
Thank you so much! 😊
How often do you remoisturize your hair?
Thank you for these very helpful tips! You are soooo gorgeous btw!
Girl, ur stunning & the makeup is flawless..lovely eyes & nice personality! Hair's gorgeous also!!😚

Would you say the wigs helped with the growth then as you said you used to always wear them
Mini twist tutorial 🙋🏾♀️
Yay 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Guuuuuurl yo melanin is POPPIN🔥😍😍😍
Quick q,Uhm during winter is it really an issue if i just do twists without hiding my ends as a protective style?
It shouldn’t be, just make sure you re-moisturise the ends more often x
I’ve been doing alllllll these things for the past 6 months and my hair only grew like maybe an inch ☹️☹️ what am I doing wrong????
Twist is poppin lip gloss poppin but what I want to know sis, where did you get those earrings?
Love your twist!
