HOW TO GET FAKE EDGES + Detailed Ponytail Tutorial on short hair + MY VIDEO WENT VIRAL!

💕PLEASE NOTE💕
I AM NOT A HAIRSTYLIST! YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH ME AND THAT IS OKAY. THIS IS MY HEAD AND MY LIFE!

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL IN THE COMMENTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF YOU WILL SEND ME PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH I DO APPRECIATE, BUT KNOW I HAVE TRIED IT ALL!! I’M JUST HERE TO SHARE MY STORY.

Today’s video is probably one of the most open and transparent videos I have ever made. I wanted to speak to you all about my battle with traction alopecia, which means I don’t have edges.

Recently, I went viral on TikTok and I wanted to provide you guys with the backstory and an in depth tutorial of how I would do a swoop ponytail. This ponytail lasts about 3 days. You can touch it up, but make sure you wrap it at night and get a good oil sheen to avoid flaking! Also, to remove the edges, just wash it out (don't pull).

I am not the originator of this hack, I just added my own spin to videos I have already seen. Please check out the women below, because they inspired me to try this edges hack on myself:

I am suffering from Alopecia on my edges as well. When I listen to your story I said OMG this is me this is the same thing I had to deal with growing up as a child and in high school also right now in my adult life before you even started the tutorial I automatically subscribe to your channel because of your story alone touched me in so many ways and after watching the tutorial thank you so much for giving me the confidence to be able to wear hair styles that I thought my self cannot achieve because of my edges.

[melmcdonald]

You have legit have just changed thousands of lives just by sacrificing your humility. I have no words to express my level of gratitude.

[rosalindcurry]

I've been a beautician for over 30 years. You gave me a great solution that I've faced with people who have thin hair in those area. I am also thinking about getting a channel showing my ideas. Love it!

[uwsgrrrl]

You are helping so many women talking about your alopecia. I’m 72 yo white woman & my hair started falling out due to stress. You put my situation in perspective. I cannot imagine how hard it has been for you since you were so young. You are an inspiration and keep sharing all your tips. You are a beautiful young woman, & I wish you great success in everything you do. ❤️☮️

[joycecollum]

I promise you they definitely about to take this technique to the salons all around the world

[lindacrutcher]

When ever God allows us to be a Blessing to others never hold back. You have made a difference in so many people lives by showing this technic, THANK YOU!!!

[nishajennings]

I almost cried watching your video! I've never been able to wear certain styles because of my edges. Now, I'm confident enough to try a style because of you. Bless you 🙏🏽 ♥️ 🙌

[stephaniemarie]

My edges are my biggest insecurity as well I’m definitely going to try this! Thank you 🙌🏾😌

[WLHMCALLNATURAL]

Girl l feel you, pray every day for your edges. There is a testimony of this lady that had Alopecia the whole head, but she was prayed for and her hair grew back. Prayers are so powerful, have faith in God. I also had problems with my edges but l prayed for them and now they are growing back

[Ashley_e]

I know I’m not the target audience, as a white woman, but I wanted to say I appreciated this video to learn about what black women face and how they style their hair. You are really talented at this, and nobody would ever have known! Good for you for silencing the haters and continuing to help other women.

[tanikabrooks]

I love that you showed women who are suffering from thinning edges, a way to fill them in, to be able to wear a style, confidently! You look beautiful!

[christinemoody]

I'm a licensed senior cosmetologist and you did an
amazing job!

[SachaBloom]

One of the downsides of being a Content Creator is that you expose yourself to other people's opinions. Keep your head up. Your content is QUALITY & your video went viral because the idea is GENIUS! Keep doing you! I'm here for it 💕🤗

[courtney]

I like how honest she is about this struggle. We all have to figure out edge retention...it's a battle and it's tough.

[Chernetw]

I've never seen a woman more talented, motivated & compassionate about her hair before. Thank you for your story, may God bless you and don't give up and listen to the negativity. Even God himself until this day has people who hates him, keep on being awesome 👌 😊

[kaystafford]

Unfortunately, there will always be haters. Keep your head up sista girl. You're an intelligent black queen. God bless you.

[bluebunnycone]

It’s not only the technique, you have such a humble, welcoming vibe to you.

[bijouaesthetikstresbellebo]

Thank you Vanessa. Thin edges is hard as an adult woman. Your openness regarding this issue that is often made fun of is so helpful to us attempting to embrace our beauty. Sidenote: You my dear are GORGEOUS.

[walker]

As a sufferer of alopecia, your technique was a game and life changer. You're inspirational and beautiful. Thank you for your story. Yes, you did that!

[FortheloveofFE]

Ms. Monae, you did an AMAZING JOB, do you hear me?!?! This is by far the best video I've seen on creating edges. Please continue to help others and strengthen your confidence. People hate when someone is completely confident with themselves "flaws" and all. It's envy because they wish that they could do the same and they can't, so keep doing what you are doing!! God bless you!
