Thanks!!!!
In the first video, we told you to first love your hair, but in this video we're gon na talk about actually going out and getting the information for yourself, because knowledge is power, as one of my professors used to say, knowledge is power. I would like to believe that we're all lifelong learners, the best thing to do - is to go out there and look for the information you need the more you know the better. I feel your journey would be and the informations out there information that wasn't out there before now. You can go to blogs like Tumblr Facebook, YouTube Brooke, she had magazines, we have online magazines, reading books and just learning from others really really helps you. It gets you more into like the groove of things interact with each other. You know, tumblr, there's a lot of inspiration, people sharing their pictures, different hairstyles clothes makeup, a lot of information out there, there's so much information out there. There'S no reason why we shouldn't know what to do with out here. All you have to do is go out to get it. Don'T limit yourself to just YouTube that or just a vlog. I stayed on YouTube. I lifted all the tutorials on YouTube. How to do my hair? I got all my information in the beginning on YouTube. My source for my information was through YouTube and my sister, India. It was rustic beauty. I started watching her videos how she used to style her twist outs about love. So I continuously watched her dinners other Naturals online that I would look at and also talking to other Nance. That is like one of the best sources of information getting with someone else and learning the trial and error. They went through the styles that they like just picking their brains for information, whatever our first one natural eye. My research was basically through my sisters. It was the easiest thing. I'M not gon na say that this, but it was, it was the best okay. I take advantage. I love my sisters dearly but they're the ones that that kept me going um. I didn't go on YouTube, a lot to look at other Naturals. I was inspired by pictures and how certain natural grew their hair out, but as far as getting outside information, it was at first in the beginning stages. It was for my sisters, then, when I started to venture out, I begin to get on YouTube and I looked at natural 85 and just fell in love, and I wish I would have looked at blogs more because there's so much information on blogs. There are also blogs that tell you things that are going on locally, like there are blogs about Houston events and Franchesca. You have bloggers like hey, Fran, hey. She has a ton of information. As always answering questions is not just about hair. It'S about a lifestyle as well nutrition. Things like that, so go out there and get the information and like Facebook pages, we should be supporting one another, and the more information is out there. The better, because again, natural hair is diverse, everything doesn't work for everyone. So it's great that we have so much information out there, because my hair may not do it. Your hair does, and it's great to have so many other naturals and so much information to pull from these days so check out other vlog bloggers and youtubers and see which one's day you can better relate to. He who holds the knowledge, has the power and we're taking back control over our hair. No one's gon na know your hair better than you will know your hair, so go out and get the information why the rich? We hope you enjoyed this video as much as we did, and we know we weren't able to mention all of the wonderful natural leases out there, but guys please mention them in the comment section below and if you're ever missing us remember we're on Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram follow us at my natural sisters, thanks for watching and God bless.

Natasha May: YOU ALL ARE SO BEAUTIFUL ITS RIDICULOUS!! i just did the big chop about a month ago after transitioning for 8months. Its in braids right now (protective style) but I'm sooo scared of taking care of it when I take the braids out. My hair grows really fast and I am completely clueless on what to do first lol I'm SO happy I found your page to help guide me through my natural journey. Its great relief knowing ya'll wasn't perfect starting out, I just hope my hair looks half as beautiful as yours. <3

Nicole Worrell: I love you guys and its refreshing to hear you advise to listen to other vloggers because normally, you would not hear that so it just shows you guys confidence and faith.

NaturalisticDiVa: I too agree that knowledge is important especially when you are first thinking about going Natural. I researched before I did my Big Chop and now I've learned that not only am I taking care of my hair, I'm also taking care of my body and spirit. Somehow you can't have one without the others.....great video girls!!!
mskeyga: I was originally inspired to go natural by Xgoldn and Taren916, later I found others such as Iknowleee, Nikkimae, FushionofCultures, MsVcharles, Ms Vaughn, mynaturalsistas, and the list could go on and on. I've learned so much from all of you
Janae S: I love this series! I'm still in my twa stage but naptural85 is my go to!
TABLE TALK with ROBIN: Not just for you young ladies, but us more "seasoned" divas as well. I am new to the natural world after many years of relaxing. Now I love my curlie little TWA and loving all the wonderful ytubers who I have learned and am learning from. Pays to research.
it's kitty×D: I know, I saw it! I love twists and flat-twist outs, but my hair tangles like crazy if I twist it wet! I don't even care I'm trying it anyway, those results were gorgeous <333 Did you enter the giveaway?
Daniella B: I love you guys, very positive and encouraging! I'm a current transitioner and I watch @NaturallyGG and @fusionofcultures in addition to you.

Kerah Marie: Toni's hair looks fabulous! What a beautiful family.
CHARMED1FOREVAH: PART I--Awesome video guys! Here are a few of my favorites: Two inspiring ladies that have uploaded helpful tutorials for years-RusticBeauty & CurlyChronicles!

If you want to see vids of ladies with a head full of beautiful hair that they grew out from a TWA: Naptural85 (plus she gives U a wealth of helpful natural hair & body information)..con't..
dollbaby4400: Amen sis and this applies to everything in life....blessings..Doll
xiomara525: I luv you guys. I am an older sister (68 years old) and thanks to you am really learning to style my natural hair. I have been natural for many years but just simply limited myself to dreadlocks. In 2010 I did the big chop and transitioned to my natural hair styles and have not looked back. Thankyou so much for your help.
bronzy williams: Miss Rustic Beauty videos. I was pleased to see her starting up again. Truly inspired by My Natural Sistas, FusionofCultures, Ms. Rosevelt, and Naptural85. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
luhvieluhv23: oh my goodness!!! i randomly decided to go natural after seeing indiawhen she was SHAUNTAE1 in her video 3 years ago where she had a transition style with twist and blue perm rods i mean i watchd that video over and over until i mastered that hair style no joke. thank you so much!!! then i started to watch carmen because her hair was shorter and i could identify with her more! im justso excited and thankful youladies keep making videos this is one of my fav channels and i always look for updates
dtoussaint0615: Great video! I love Dawnyele's channel and Jcokes7's channel. They are both awesome! They have helped me so much during my transition. I don't know what I'd do without YouTube! :-)
scout: You guys are so awesome! Its a blessing to have such loving sisters..and you're too cute!
Mrsbunz16: Im 15 and my First Inspiration was my sister. She went natural when she was 18, so for awhile i didnt like the fact of being natural,but just out the blue i had the courage to cut my hair and just start from scratch and just enjoy the jouney learning and loving my hair! So just being natural for me is amazing. I have this new found confidence in me! I basically got my information from my sister google and youtube. Youtube the main source! =)
kikicouture10: I love all you ladies hair, it is so beautiful I'm 17 1/2 months into my transition to natural hair I plan to big chop between 19-24 months I'm not sure but I also document my journey for those who need more information on how to go natural.
NaturalPhD: There are many great vloggers, but I enjoy watching Naptural85 and MyNaturalSistas more than anyone. Videos are informative but not too long, tutorials are easy to follow, and they seem like friends you'd want in real life!!
Gr8ceful Gr8ceful: Please put up the tutorial on Toni's Sengalese twists! Her hair is beautiful!
tomayaful: she was my favorite once upon a time.. i love the big things shes doing with her own product line, & store..... i remember when she first started,.. gotta love THAT i was sooooo happy for her success. i remember sheacocoaluv.. and even got to meet her at one of the houston shows.. anything is possible.. i feel like a damn guru been natural for about 4 years now and have every magazine know about many of the blogs.. and have seeen sooooo peps.. love the natural hair community WE R HERE TO STAY!

LILALLNATURAL: Great video and finding out your own information is great and KIMMAYTUBE hands down made me rethink about the science of my hair!!!!
1hotshon: Ladies, I really want to compliment you on spending more time talking about the natural process and less time on product reviews. Product reviews can be fun sometimes, but it comes off as a sales pitch and my favorite youtubers are those that show me how to manipulate my hair without focusing so much on what products I have to buy...Awesome job!
it's kitty×D: I love her too, but I wish she would do more hair tutorials!
G J: I loved when you said don't limit yourself to info just on YouTube. In the beginning I used it as a starter and just got books, read blogs CurlyNikki.com or Coily Queen, articles etc. Great advice!
Kia Williams: Wonderful video ladies. Loving those twists.... You all look amazing

Dora Nottheexplorer: This is BEYOND the truth! When I first went natural, I did not do any research. I just thought that all I needed to do was big chop and I was good to go. After two years, I noticed that my hair was NOWHERE near where it was supposed to be! Since then, I've done TONS of research and talked to many people and now my hair is the healthiest it's ever been! I expect to see A LOT of progress by the end of year three. New naturals...PLEASE do your research! Like the title says...KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!
