Okay got a nice huge announcement at the end as well. Let'S go ahead and dive into this. Shall we all right y'all ready? Okay, great! So let's get this video started! Oh girl, let's get it, let's get it, let's get it! Where is your girl at with this um? Let'S just i know, i told my hair a lot but like this is just the real of like being a natural uh naturalista. At least this is my story. This is the part of my journey. Is that i'll be having highs? Y'All i'd be like wow lynch who's? She, you know me i'll, show off the lymph for y'all, but um. There are also moments where i'm like. Here we go again and i had a here. We go again with my hair. Recently. Um, i finally got a trim as y'all always hear me say, and i read the and the reason why i always say this to y'all is because just to remind y'all to get a trim, i think very um important in this length retention journey, healthy hair journey. All this stuff right and so um it took me forever to get a trim, and so because of that and y'all know i like to put on my ends. I experienced some good snip, snip and i'll insert that here you gon na. Let it come on. I'M gon na let it come on because you know you know all right. Look. I still respect and need stylers. Okay, some of y'all don't need them, but i need them there. It is but yeah. So she just kept it with me. Like you know, yeah your hair was, it was time and so um that's what we had to do and it is what it is like. I think it's a thing of like dang i was just there like. I finally was able to like you see. Y'All see me pulling my hair. That is why my hair, the way it is i'm still here. Okay, it's been growing but like it could be longer, and i get it for my mom, my grandmother. Does it too i'm like yo, stop immediately. She kept really about where my hair was, and just you know when you see moments like that or experience moments like that, where you feel like it's a setback, certain things in life, you know exactly what you can do to get back to where you were, and So that's what clicked in my head and like allowed me to not even be irritated or upset about it because i'm like well, you know what to do for you in this journey. You cannot touch your hair as much. Your hair does not like to be touched. Yes, you are a natural hair youtuber, you do your hair, but this is not benefiting you. It'S not benefiting your hair, no more, and so i'm like okay, we're gon na protect the style, which i heard me do uh heard me say a lot about, and so i was doing that and it definitely um allowed my hair to retain length um. But i did stop for a few seconds because i want to give regular tutorials, and you know this was also my job right and so a full-time job if y'all did not know, and so i was like okay well, we got ta do our hair, but i Should have been really honest and said, okay, but it's also now time to put it back up. What did i do? I was like: oh, i love these process. These process is giving i'm looking great but um, just knowing me and pulling on my ends. I should have put my hair up knew if i sacrificed putting my hair up for a year, so i was gon na see the length i was looking for or two years i was going to see. The left i was looking for moments like this is just temporary, i'm going to rock my curls. You know in between time i'm not going to preach, let's preach a little bit, but there is yeah, there's a beauty in the sacrifice, and when i mean that is at least for what i'm trying to say about that. Is that um? The sacrifice that you're giving doesn't have to be forever um. The sacrifice is, for a reason, it's for a purpose. The sacrifice will grow you for me in multiple ways: right, um, there's a reason for sacrificing certain things and then then you gon na come out on top i'm gon na have my land i'm be like down here without having to do my neck like this. So i automatically think about my finances. I'M like okay, you have goals for your finances. You have goals for savings, you have goals for investing all this type of stuff, but it also takes a sacrifice and what does that sacrifice? Look like me cooking. Oh, my gosh, that that includes me eating cooking at home. Oh my gosh! That includes me not spending so much money on clothes, not going out so much. You know going out to eat like that's what i mean by the sacrifice, um. The sacrifice in this case of where i'm describing it is the thing that's gon na help you get to your next level and i'm realizing that that's what i have to do with my hair um. You know where you want to be do what you got to do and that's on that, but yeah so um. I just came here to kind of do a lymph check and just talk about where i'm at with this hair um. I love my hair. So that's. Why i like to you, know, have it out and about you know: breathing curls popping blowing in the wind, but what i have to do right now is just be real about where i'm trying to go and what are the things i need to do to get There and look that includes putting it up for me, so my grades are really coming in strong, like no other. I'Ve always told y'all that, but they are, they have escalated since the panorama they have escalated, and so i'm just really preparing myself for that, because they're here, i'm not covering them up. I don't care, i'm excited to go full grade just not yet though, but i'm excited to go full grade. Also too, i've been trying to do better with moisture and so really like making sure that my hair is moisturized like not half doing it. I have not putting just a little bit of product now really work that in comb that through make sure it's on all of it and more at the ends, and so that has been really helping. My hair as well - and i would say, product wise - i just haven't been attached to just one product lately, uh y'all know my go-to's, but like lately, i've been using the pattern. Beauty, shampoo, i've been using tgin honey miracle mask um. I'Ve also been using melody, hair care. Y'All know i use the oil all the time, so that's a given, but i've been putting this in rotation too they're black uh caster african black soap wow. I said that african black soap um reviving shampoo. I'Ve definitely been using the edge fixer by kiss colors and care, like i said it flakes up, but i love it so much um and then my back up is up north naturals healthy edges, uh. Also, this is the other thing i want to talk to you all about breakage. I have been having breakage in my hair, and this is all on me. I mean everything i do to my hair is on me right there, but i've been using a denman brush, which i know like that was like my go-to, easy nothing demon brush with nothing, but right now, i'm noticing and been noticing that my hair has been breaking More um, just because when i'm using it, i just i'll, be just going and i'm like you're not using this brush properly, and so i kind of had to step back and not use it as much the only time i really try to use it. Um is when i'm doing a perm rod set, just because i like how it smooths out my hair, but i'm trying not to use it for a detangler. I can't use it for a detangler, no more and that's just keeping it real and honest. You know i've been using it for years. You know still recommend it just not for a detangler. That'S probably the one thing that hurt hurt my heart, the most when i saw breakage, i was like there's one thing to have your ears get off, but when i see the fact that my my root, my my roots are short, i have pieces short pieces flyaways. I'M like oh, my gosh, it's from the brush. It'S because it's not from me! It'S nothing! It'S not the style! It'S nothing like that because i don't do nothing too tight on my head, so i'm like this is from the brush, and so i have now rotated that out um. That was another thing. I was really disappointed in myself because i was like you knew when you were just going at it like. You have to be intentional and aware when you are using tools on your hair, and i wasn't, and so what we're going to do. This is going to dedicate every other month being a protective style look or something like that um, you know and also being strategic when i film videos - okay, maybe i got ta, get two tutorials out in this one day, so that i can put my hair up. So i know what to do. I just got ta. Do it the goal? My ultimate goal by the end of the year was to have my hair pass the letters that sit on like my shirts um and including this shirt. This shirt sits in the same spot. My uh shirts do as well uh hair type popping shirts. You know they took curly apparel check them out, link down below all that good stuff. We do have a black friday sale going on so jump on the sale um, but yeah we have a blowout sale. Let me make sure that i say that we have blow out sales, then the new stuff is going to drop really soon, so stay tuned for theater in the next couple weeks, great but yeah. So the goal was for my hair to be this long in the back and past the letter like i wanted it past the letter without having to break my neck, but look at this now we're up here and so um because of my trim. Now i'm back to like the top of the letter, not actually i'm not even at the top of the letter, i'm not even here all right. So let's just do a lymph check about where we are. You know wow, that's probably super bright. So in the back, we're at what nine eight and a half i'll say: eight and a half inches. You know six months down the line three months down the line to see maybe three months. I know i'm thinking three months and see where we are in the front. We are at basically 11 inches focus. How dare you not focus? Oh, my gosh, i'm trying to play them we're at 11., all right we're going right at the right and like coming in so this one is at eight. What did i that was so not what this says is that 10., it's right at 10.. So let me do the back better, i'm not going to bring it forward, but i feel like that was accurate, but you know: let's do this side and see what it's saying. Okay, let me drop it, so we can see where it's at i'm definitely on the wrong side of the thing yeah, it's eight that's accurate! It'S that eight! Let me know down below where you are in your hair care journey. Um. Are you lacking where you are? Do you like this? Do you like the length that you are? Do you like the where your health or the hair is have you found products that really work for you that you keep on you know in a routine keeping rotation? I should say.
