Chapters
Hey everyone, it's your girl TT Does It All, and let's go over my top 5 YouTube videos of all time. Number 5 is my how-to braid pattern for a middle part leave-out sew-in. This had 1.3 million views, 206 comments, 16,000 likes. Oh my God, watching this back, it was very detailed. My nails were on point, honey. I did not use braiding hair. Instead, I braided in thread on my anchor braids, and if you follow me, you know what I mean. Um, and And then I noticed that the angle that I used on this is all the way around the client's head instead of just a face forward view, which I started doing lately. So maybe I should go back to that because I'm learning a little bit watching these videos over. But yeah, like, it was very detailed. When I say it still has like the pictures and everything, and it was great. So number 4 was how to sew in a lace closure. And oh my God, this is the video that I told y'all about in my last video where I was like I sent it to a stylist and she just ignored me and didn't say nothing after she jacked my closure up. This one. So with this video, this had 1.6 million views, 565 comments, 27,000 likes, and this was released in March 2016. I noticed when I was looking at this video, it was so relaxing, like I literally was nodding off watching it, okay. This is her 4th time using this closure, so you see it looks great. And this is the— so yes, I was really, really literally falling asleep watching this video, but I also noticed that it was very detailed and it had information step by step. So I see why everybody liked that one. It was also very close up to see the closure being sewn down, like really, really close in detail. So, and then it looked too tight to me. Like, honestly, while I was watching this back and watching how I sewed it, I was like, um, are you sure that didn't hurt? Because that just looks too tight. But y'all loved it, and I thank y'all and appreciate the views and support. Okay, okay. All right, so the next video, which is number 3, was the client that I, um, indicated no edges got a makeover., and this client, I just appreciate her so much for letting me record this video. It was a bunch of screenshots, so this was a bunch of pictures. I did not ever expect a picture video to become viral. Like, yeah, no, I thought, yeah, no, uh, I like the pictures more than my video sew-ins actually. Watching this back, it kind of made me feel like I could just pay more attention, listen more, and I could really look at what I was saying because it was so, so detailed and still looking at that picture, listening to what I'm saying. So I really, really, really like that. And then, um, I think that was it for that one. But what do y'all think? Have y'all seen it? So the number 2 video is where I did the lace frontal with the blonde hair. Oh my God, when I tell y'all this video had 2.3 million views. Over 1,000 comments, 46,000 likes, and I made this in October '17. So for this to be number 2 and to be, you know, newer— or yeah, newer than the last video that had less likes— is crazy. But that's good. I noticed that it was long as I don't know what. It was 12 minutes long, okay? People were stealing this video. Like, I had to report so many pages for stealing this video. I'm surprised it's number 2 because it has so much less information. I became more private with this video because it was like I'm teaching frontal, I'm showing something that I paid to learn, so it was kind of where I had to teeter-totter that, that middle ground of what do I show, what don't I show, what do I explain, but people still love this video with as much as I didn't explain. I thought it was super cute, but I was falling asleep. Again. This video was made on my iPhone again. I cannot find the charger to my Canon SD70. I'm sorry, 70. Literally sitting here watching these videos over to critique them, and I was literally falling asleep. I'm not joking. So, um, I had sewn in a track on the frontal, and people hated it. They also didn't like that I did not use blind thread. So I was really surprised that people supported this video so much because people had so much negativity to say. But that goes to show that people— I mean, sometimes the negative stuff gets you more views, gets you more shares, you know. I guess that's the case in this situation. But that music at the end though, I was feeling it. I really was. So pause. I want to know, because we're here, we're at the number 1 video. I want you all to drop a comment and let me know which video you think is the number 1 video before you look at it, before you, before you press play. Pause, don't cheat, and look. Just pause. Okay, you paused. Okay, good. All right, now we back. Y'all got the— I want to see who's right. I really want to know who's going to be right, and I want to know if you felt like something should have been number 1. Drop that video in the comments. Okay, so the number 1 video is the thin hair sew-in tips and tricks, and honestly, I see why it's number 1. It's 30 minutes long. Oh my God, this video had 4.8 million views. 2.5 thousand comments, 79,000 likes, and this video was uploaded in 2016 of October. I was so shocked because I'm like, I already started braiding the client's hair and y'all still was like, I'm messing with her, I'm with her, I'm still watching. I was surprised. Then I was like, okay, people were arguing in the comments. Um, yeah, they were arguing back and forth with my client like, uh-uh, it wasn't hair loss, it wasn't hereditary, she pulling your hair too tight, TT pulled your out. So for it to still be the number one video, I'm like, what? Y'all really liked it. Y'all may have been trolling in the comments, but y'all liked it. Then I was in a video like, uh, all y'all leaving dumb comments and you idiots, blah blah blah, and y'all still liked it. So do I have to do more name calling? Okay, no, I'm not doing it. Um, that's when I was saying anywho, and I— in this video I was like, okay, somebody in the comments said it's not anywho, it's anyhow. Then my My subscribers came through like, TT, say whatever you want to say, it's anywho, okay? Let's anywho this mug up. I should make a video called Anywho. I should make a song called Anywho. No, okay. Um, what else? I was talking about my client being brave, um, for wanting to do this. She really was brave for letting me record this video of her because a lot of people were like, I can't believe she let you record And she did, so I appreciate her for it. The camera was in and out of focus during this video, so at one point it was like it was focusing in on something way in the background, so that was annoying for me. Um, I did notice that it was very, very, very informative. The first half of the video was about a thin head of hair, and the second part of the video was about a thin leave-out. So just because she had thin spots on her edges in the first part of the video, that was a one part which I don't think people understood. They were like, the girl in the second part hair was thinner than the girl in the first. Like, the girl in the second part had more edges in the first half. So it was, it was very different, and I don't think I explained that. But you all still loved it because it's number one. And then I burned myself. Okay, I'm gonna post a picture of what it looks like now. I still have the little small faint scars of it. But everybody 2 years later was like, girl, make sure you keep an aloe vera plant up in that shop, girl. And I'm like, listen, that was 2 years ago, okay? Like 2 years ago. They like, oh my God, hurry up and do this. I'm like, 2 years ago. Then I noticed one of the things you all really commented on was that I style as I sew. So I sew one bundle in and I style, then I sew the next bundle in and then I style. So you all, that was very new to everybody. I don't even know why I started doing it. I know I didn't learn it from somebody. I just felt like it would make it easier if I didn't have to lift hair out of my way to curl what was underneath, right? Right. Okay. But even in this video, y'all, it was a point where I was still nodding off. I was like, oh God, this is really long. And this is my video and I'm nodding off to it. And y'all like, I just love your voice. And I'm like, girl, that had me sleep. So long story short, I've been on YouTube for 13 years, y'all. 13 years. And I just appreciate the support. I appreciate— I appreciate all of my subscribers. I appreciate the old ones, the new ones. Go back and watch them old videos, girl, because you missed out on some stuff. And for all y'all who have just been rocking with me since like '06, '07, '08, '09, I love y'all so much. I appreciate y'all. I appreciate the support. Y'all keep me coming back and keep me posting videos because I know that y'all are actually commenting and liking and sharing these videos, and I just really appreciate the support. I really do. We're not gonna cry here because I'm not going anywhere. This isn't a goodbye, this is a hello, right? To the future. Okay, cheers to the future. I'm gonna have me a shot tonight. Okay, no. Some of y'all probably ain't even 13. You know, kids be on YouTube. Who's under 13 watching this video? My videos are older than you. Okay, all right, y'all, I'm out of here. I'm checking out. I hope y'all been appreciating all these new uploads I've been doing for y'all, but I will see y'all in the next video. And make sure y'all love this video, thumbs up, send it to your friends like, this is why you need to be subscribed to her, or this is why you need to be looking at her videos to better that technique on that frontal you did last week.
