Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
What's upside of the world. It's your girl, the one
and only Ash Brown, and this is Ashbrown Uncensored. On
this program, I talk a little bit about everything. It
may be pop culture related, is badly Ashbrown related. So
you gotta stay tuned to see what I'm gonna talk about. Okay,
so this is not a sponsored post. This is not

(00:25):
a sponsored post. I'm gonna talk a little bit about
my hair journey and now I've just I've done a
little bit of everything with this hair and where I'm
at today with things. So I did my very first
big chop in two thousand and four, and it was
honestly because I was just frustrated with my hair and

(00:49):
Mamma said that she and my daddy wasn't paying for
it no more. So I had to figure something else out.
So I was like, okay, well, you know what, I'm
gonna just cut it off and to just make it easy.
You know, when I would get relaxers, I would have
to make sure that I got it exactly like that
same week that it was due. Those four weeks it

(01:13):
literally on schedule, because if it was a week after,
I was gonna feel it. I was gonna feel it
and you know, there probably was gonna be some tears.
So I had gone, like, I think, like a full long,
like even two months without a relaxer, and I at

(01:34):
the time, I think I had braids in. And so
when I took everything off and I went to my
paeutition at the time, shout understanding and I told her,
I said, yeah, cut it off. She was like, you know,
once we start cutting, you know, I can't un cut it.
I said, yeah, I understand. I completely understand where you're

(01:57):
going with this, and I get why you're going going
this route with it, but yeah, go ahead and go
ahead and chap chap, snip snip. And so she did.
And it was one of the most freeing experiences of
my life. And it was just it was amazing, y'all.

(02:20):
It was absolutely amazing. I absolutely loved that whole feel
of having my hair chop it off. It was amazing
at first, and it was the easiest hair I ever had.
Problems started when it started to grow. It started to grow,
and that's when I started to spend money on products

(02:44):
like Miss Jesse's. Like at the time, Miss Jesse's was
just kind of circulating through the curly community and you
could only get it shipped to your houses before it
was available retail and all that stuff. And so I
remember spending a good chunk of change, a good dollar
on a whole bunch of Miss Jesse's products and trying

(03:08):
it out, and my hair categorically absolutely rejecting it. And
when I stay rejecting it, flakes flakes everywhere. My hair
was so flaky, and it was just so frustrating to
have this hair and really not know really what to

(03:30):
do with it. So I went back a couple of
times and got a little bit more, you know, chopped off,
sliced off, and then at one point I was just
doing just straight braids. Just everything was braids, braids, braids.
I got the idea from a friend. To matter of fact,
it wasn't even a friend. I think it was my mama. Actually,
she had gone to the Dominicans and had them just

(03:53):
you know, blow her hair off right. She got a
full and blowout, and so I went to the spot
that she went to and it lasted all of maybe
a few hours before it went back to afro style.
So there was that, there was that aspect of it.

(04:13):
And then I got that in a couple of times
because I just didn't learn and I just wanted to
obviously just waste money. And then I decided to go
to the lock route and I got my first set
of interlocks, and I hated them. I hated them because

(04:34):
the lady that did them spaced them out too much.
I looked like hell Raiser's baby. It was not cute, y'all.
I hit my hair for probably the first like seven
or eight months because I did not like the way
that it looked. I didn't when it started to grow
in and fill out and you know, they started to
fluff up, it was good. And then I eventually found

(04:56):
someone that could help me manage my locks, and that
was a loctician get the Good Hair Shop. The Good
Hair Shop. They were in Lithonia at the time, and
I would go there and have them do my hair. Well,
time went on and I thought I was big and grown,

(05:17):
and I decided to color my locks and I damaged
them severely, terribly damaged the heck out of these locks.
And it was just it was a bad situation and
through and then I decided to chop them off. I

(05:37):
was dealing with a lot of just stress and life
and everything was just happening at that time, and honestly,
you can't tell a lot about what a woman's going
through when depending on our hair. Like it's just a
freeing situation as far as being something that you can control.
Everything else out of your control, you can control cutting

(05:59):
off your hair. So I found some of my dad's
clippers and I shaved my head and I actually recorded it.
I recorded it and I posted it on YouTube and
that videos probably thought they're floating. And again it was
another freeing experience. I was like, yes, this feels good,

(06:20):
this is something I can control. And again as it grew,
I struggled, you hear me out. I struggled to figure
out how am I going to manage this hair? So
we went back to braids, went back to Braid's situation,
and I went off to the Army. Come back and

(06:41):
I learned about sister locks. And I saw someone I'll
not forget. I was in the post office and this
woman in front of me had these long, beautiful locks
down to her backside. Each lock looked just so amazing,
and I remember tapping her shoulder, like, you know, tell
me about your hair, like who did it? What is this?

(07:03):
And she explained to me what sister locks were, and
I found my locks titian, Angela Gillim, and she set
me up and I had sister locks for nine years,
y'all nine years, nine amazing years, and I loved them
from day one, and I've never felt that way about

(07:26):
a hairstyle until then. And really, truly the only reason why.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I decided to end that journey was there really wasn't
another lock titian that I cherished and celebrated as much
as Angela.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
And I was looking at local people. She had moved
and it was kind of a challenge to get out
to her. But I looked and I found some local
people and they were charging astronomical numbers just for retightening.
And I already had five hundred and thirty five plus locks,
so I was not trying to deal with you know,
five six hundred dollars for a retie every month? Are

(08:11):
you insane? Who can afford that? I'm not doing?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
What?

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Not dealing with it? So I went back to braids.
It's always just gonna go back to braids and twists
and all these things. So in the midst of that,
I've been doing my research and I was trying to
find natural brands or brands with very few ingredients and

(08:37):
no parabinds, no plates, no petroleum, you know, no dies.
I was looking for for no no dies. And one
of my favorite brands that I really enjoy their leaving conditioner,
is Allik Naturals. And this is not a sponsored talk, okay,

(09:00):
just telling you guys the stuff that I use. Alige Naturals.
They have an amazing leaving conditioner and I want to
say it was like a lemongrass line of conditioner. And
my hair absolutely loved it. And I remember like trying
it out like the first time. I'm like, oh my gosh,
my hair is actually like kind of getting a little

(09:21):
bit of a shape to it, you know, Okay, I
might have a little bit of a nice little texture
going on here, come through ass. And so I bought
a whole bunch of their stuff just because just off
of that very few ingredients pretty you know, I won't

(09:41):
say pure, but natural ingredients and stuff that I can pronounce.
I also but I wanted to find another leave in
that didn't have as many dyes because the leaving conditioner,
while it was great and it smelled wonderful, it had
some dyes in it, and I'm trying to like get
away from using products that have a whole bunch of
dyes and stuff in it. And so I was doing

(10:04):
some research and I found this brand called my Crown
Love I think it's my Crownlove dot com. Again not sponsored,
and they had a leaving conditioner. I was like, that's
a little bit as far as like a Mounts go. Man,
they're gonna get a larger, you know, sure portions of this,
like you know, what if this doesn't work or what

(10:27):
if whatever? And this stuff is not exactly you know, inexpensive,
but it was the only brand that I saw that
had like what I was looking for, very few ingredients,
very good ingredients that hopefully my hair will like because

(10:48):
my air it can be temperamental at times, but something
that I can grow my hair with essentially. So right now,
I've gotten some kinky twist and I've had them in
a little over a month, and I went ahead and
ordered some of this stuff. So I got the curl

(11:10):
defining jail and also they're leaving because I was like,
I'm gonna try this leave in. If it works great,
If it doesn't, then you know it is what it is.
So I try the leavin y'all. And I'm not exaggerating instantly.
I've got these sexy ringlets that I have never seen
in my entire natural born life. Okay, never seen it.

(11:34):
My hair has never reacted to a product like this, never,
and these sexy ass ringlets are amazing. And now I'm
just like, oh my gosh, I need my hair needs
the stuff, you know. So I'll be taking this stuff
out for the next month or so and hiding it

(11:57):
behind the other ones. But I am I'm so impressed.
I'm so impressed. My hair has never reacted to a
product like this before. And what I also love about
it is like, you don't need a whole bunch, you
don't need a whole goblet full of this stuff. Just
a little bit goes a very long way. And I
am so impressed with this product that I'm telling everybody.

(12:22):
I'm telling everybody about it, just going and put that
out into the universe. But yeah, so they did their
like this well, so for right now, just me kind
of testing patches of my hair with it. I'm impressed.
And it takes a lot to impress me with the product,
especially when it has very few ingredients to it. Like this.

(12:44):
I'm very much impressed with it. So I'll let you
guys know as the month goes on and things continue.
But right now, off of just testing just a little
bit of this product, a little goes a long way.
Count me in my crown. Love y'all gotta y'all gotta

but I will holler at y'all later, says
