(Video Post) 4 Curl Types 1 Product Review Tutorials #NaturalHair

Hey guys!

If you’re subscribed to my youtube channel then you would have a seen my new series, “4 Curl Types, 1 Product Review”. Each video features a different product brand and 4 different curl types, including my own, ranging from 3 A – 4 C testing out a Natural Hair Product and showing the final result.

I started this series because I love hair and I’m fascinated by different hair types and the different ways people apply products to get their preferred results. The hair community can sometimes feel exclusive if your hair doesn’t fall within a certain category, but with these videos I want to make it more inclusive and encouraging for anyone who loves hair and wants to learn more. Check out the videos below with “As I Am Naturally” & The New Mixed Chicks Products.

(New Video Post) Beauty Dare! Do Something That Scares You #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday!

In this video I discuss taking a leap in beauty by doing something that you’ve always wanted to do that scares you. I recently cut my hair and I’m learning how much people value hair, especially when you had long hair. Most of the responses I’ve gotten have been simply “why?” As if my hair will never grow back again lol. I cut my hair 1. Because I wanted to and 2. Because I no longer wanted to hold on to the fear that I’m only pretty with long hair or straight hair or curly hair or whatever other fears and insecurities I was putting onto myself. Beauty is all about the way you feel and I truly feel like there’s nothing on the outside that should make you feel more beautiful than you already do on the inside. I cut my hair to strengthen my own sense of beauty but having to push myself to rely on just ME and not my hair.

Whether it’s cutting your hair or changing your style whatever it is, try something that scares you! Test your own limits and rediscover what beauty is for you when you are no longer in your comfort zone.

(New Video Post) Embrace Your Natural Curl w/ @MalaikaRussell #beautyadvice

photo-1

Happy New Year Folks! I’m starting it off with hair!

I met my curl sister! LOL I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely & talented Malaika Russell before the holiday and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that we could legitimately be sisters! We have basically the same curl pattern and a very similar genetic makeup! Woop! I love meeting people that could be related to me, something about it makes me feel happy. When I met up with Malaika I decide to have a chat with her about “embracing your natural curls”, this is something that a lot of natural girls struggle with, especially if they are transitioning or putting down the flat iron for good! It’s hard to embrace your natural curls at first, especially if they are damaged and have atleast six months to a year before they are amazing, but trust me we’ve all been there and this whole period will eventually be worth it so hold on! Check out the video below and a bonus video I did a while back about bringing your curls back! Happy New Year!
