  6. i do a 2 strand twist & leave in for a while then take out or if i just leave to dry natural i comb out when dry into a big puffy fro ;p xx

  7. bless u hun thanks & congrats, ur hair sounds like its rocking xx

  8. girl u crack me up *baby ape* lol u really have to go easy, wen that hair line goes! it may be best to take the braids out listen to ur hair! please use wigs or something that lets your scalp hav a chance to strengthen itself, too much tension, & weight from hair styles try to not manipulate it & nourish it bak to strength x

  9. hey….its me again so i got on with it already i cut my dreadlocks-looked like a BABY APE!!!! then i decided to braid it with extensions of cos but heres where the issue is at-my hairline is dying from this tightness n pulling from the braids!help!!!!

  10. Your tips helped. I transitioned. I’ve been natural for 1yr 9 months now. I’m still learning, but proud of my natural curls and medium size afro thus far. I can’t wait til my afro is your size. Your hair is gorgeous.

  11. Is the accent Irish or british? lol I love it either way tho (:

  12. hey! those were really great tips, but just wanted to know how you Handel your hair when it shrinks after you wash it? İm having big problems handling it after that. :/

  14. Sorry for the bad English..i’m better with italian…
    p.s as soo nas i discovered your channels i alerted the whole afro community in this part of the country ( Padova, near Venice).

  15. Hello ladies, and HELLO MO-AM. I’m Eritrean..and i never relaxed my hair..but never found a way to deal with it naturally. Before moving to Italy (8 years ago) my routine was going to the hair dresser and make them straight. When i moved here i sadly discovered i could not afford my old habits. So i simply started tying them. It was kind of embarrassing for me going around with my dry puffy bowl on my head ( they were very log), since i never even experienced them in my mama Africa. BUT i resisted the temptation to relax them. Today i’m 26 and thank’s to you i’m going to take into serious consideration untying my hair into a more natural fit. It’s hours i’m here browsing into your tips. It’s going to be hard finding the wright products here, but i guess i’m going to purchase them on-line (especally the leave-in conditioner) So… thank you mo-am.
