Natural Hair Youtubers You Should Follow for your Natural Hair Life

I love Youtube because I am a visual learner and Youtube has allowed me to do just that: Learn through visuals and tutorials. When I first went natural, this was one of the biggest resources I used to help me learn about how to care for natural hair, and to this day, I still use it to help me stay up to date with new natural hair products, practices, and trends. Below, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite 4a/4b/4c natural hair Youtubers:

1. Ambrosia Malbrough

Whether it's natural hair or her overall sense of fashion and style, she has got it. She recently cut her hair and has been wearing protective styles to aid the "grow out" process. Below is one of my favorite videos of her natural hair with a flawless flat twist out.

2. Angela Lauren

I came across Angela Lauren's Youtube channel earlier this year, and when I saw her skills, I knew I had to follow her. She gives off  "utter dopeness"! Check out this on a quick and easy perm rod updo:

3. My Natural Hair Sistas

These sisters have been in the game for a long time, and honestly, every time I see a new video posted by them, I get excited because I know it will be good. This channel features three natural haired sisters with a variety of lengths and textures, but each one slays! This is the newest video on their channel:

4. Kaydee TV

Kaydee TV is an up and coming Youtuber that makes you truly feel like you can grow your natural hair and look cute doing it. She provides a variety of low manipulation styles that look good and help you minimize breakage. Check out her video below:

5. Unearthed Amber

Unearthered Amber has a head full of gorgeous natural hair. I first came across her originally on naturallygg's channel as one of the sisters, but she now has her own channel full of natural hair, healthy eating, and lifestyle videos.

6. BeautifulBrwnBabyDol

BeautifulBrwnBabyDol was another Youtuber I watched when I first went natural. While her hair videos are information packed, she also provides information on her weight loss, healthy diet, exercise, and much needed inspiration/motivation. You will love her channel as well because she keeps it real.

7. Shlinda1

Shlinda1 is also someone I recently discovered, but let me say, she makes natural hair easy to understand, providing practical tips for natural hair and low porosity chicks too.

8. Journey To Waist Length

Journey to Waist Length is another recent discovery, but she really has helped me to understand my own hair better. Plus, you can literally watch her natural journey, including her transition, big chop, and her current head of lush natural hair. She is another low porosity Youtuber as well, and she does a great job of providing practical tips on general ways to manage low porosity hair:

These are just a few of my favorite natural hair Youtubers! Please share below if you plan on checking out any of these Youtubers or if you have some natural hair Youtubers that you believe should be checked out! Share the wealth!

Until next time...

I AM BACK!!!

So...it happened again! I up and disappeared!!! Truthfully, I had to utilize some major laser focus to complete this final semester of coursework. As most of you know, I am completing my PhD, and I needed to wrap up my internship placement, begin dissertation, complete my neuropsychological round of coursework, and teach my undergraduates PLUS manage my personal life. So....I disappeared BUT for good reasons! I am grateful because after a very prayerful and successful semester, I can truly see the end in sight. PhD, here I come! Stay tuned for future blog posts on natural hair, skin care, and other great topics!

Until next time...

Stay faith-filled, fearless, and fabulous,

Product Review: ORS Replenishing Conditioner...A Naturalista's Dream

I am shocked as to why no one told me how great the ORS Replenishing Conditioner is! I recently purchased the small sample like packs from Sally's Beauty Supply and had it on stand by for the wash routine following the take down of my most recent protective style, box braids.

ORS Replenishing Conditioner (Sample Pack)

I pre-pooed with coconut oil, clarified with a bentonite and apple cider vinegar mix and then followed up with a ORS Replenishing Conditioner! Baby--- let me tell you! My hair was soft, and my hair literally took that conditioner for every bit of moisture it had to offer. I actually ended up leaving the conditioner on my hair for two hours while I went out to grab a quick bite to eat with the hubs. When I returned, I washed my hair out, and I immediately congratulated ORS Conditioner for making it to the next ranks as a " product staple", meaning ORS Conditioner will be a product in heavy rotation!

The End Results of My Hair

If you are considering ORS Replenishing Conditioner or you are looking for a new conditioner to try, here are some of the pros and cons of ORS Replenishing Conditioner:

Pros:

1. Deep penetrating conditioner enhances the moisture in hair

2. Leaves hair soft and revitalized, which is great if your hair needs a "boost" or repair of damaged hair

3. Easily accessible, found at most stores like Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, etc.

4. Inexpensive with sample packs less than $2 or full size bottles less than $6

Cons:

1. Definitely not an organic product and if you are a fan of reading and understanding every item on the ingredient list, this is not the product for you

Let me know your thoughts on the ORS Replenishing Conditioner. Also let me know if you have used this conditioner with certain oils. 

Until next time...

Be faith-filled, fearless, and fabulous,
