Okay guys, so as I am* typing this I feel like breaking down into tears. We are sad to say that natural hair vlogger, Longhairdontcare2011 aka Domineque has passed away due to complications with lupus.
I did not know her personally, but through following her and her inspirational journey I felt as if I’ve known her or as if I had her as a close friend. Not only was she a helpful woman in the hair care community but she was a sweet, wonderful, and beautiful person both inside and out. She will truly be missed.
Domo’s friend, Macy, has created a foundation to help raise money for her cremation and funeral costs. Here is what they posted on their giveforward page:
It is with a most heavy heart that I bring you the news of my dear friend’s passing. Domineque passed away on April 9th, 2014 after complications brought on by Lupus. Though she was a long-time sufferer of this disease, her condition turned for the worst in recent months with her kidneys functioning at a terribly low rate. Tragically, Domineque fell unconscious the night of April 7th but thankfully her amazing partner was there by her side to perform CPR and call 911. Domineque was placed on life support and was not able to breathe on her own. At 12:30pm, on April 9th, after having suffered a heart attack, she passed away. She was 27 years old.This is a truly difficult time for her spouse, family, and friends– it is beyond surreal and heartbreaking to write what has transpired. I have set up this fundraiser to help with both the funeral and cremation costs. Also, we are trying to fly out her sister and young nephew who don’t have the funds to purchase flights. We will make sure they see Domineque one last time.We sincerely thank you for your help, it is humbly appreciated.
If you would like to contribute please go to the link provided here. Our hearts truly go out to her loved ones.
Added by Alma: Longhairdontcare2011 was a huge part of why I decided to transition to natural and subsequently start BHI. It’s surprising how much someone you have never met or even spoken to one to one can affect the course of your life and I’m sure that her 90k + subscribers on YouTube will be feeling the loss too. Our sincerest condolences to her family.

R.l.P beautiful lady. .
Special thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with her family during this time of sorrow. I actually meet Dominique a few times. The first time was in Chipotle; I saw her but could not figure from exactly where though .As I waited in line with friends, we all began staring at her due to her gorgeous hair and then it clicked Youtube..so I went up to her and she was the nicest, funny and kindhearted person. After that every time I saw her or she saw me it was always” Hi my Chipotle friend…Indeed she will be missed!!! R.I.P <3
such a beautiful woman, loved her hair and videos… may she RIP
RIP beautiful so sorry! x
Omg she will be so missed I love your hair videos
She was a truly inspirational trailblazer in the Natural Hair community. Her videos inspired me (and many others) to go natural. I always wanted to say it too: Long Hair Don’t Care! May she rest in peace.
I learned so much from her videos/tutorials. RIP Domineque. My prayers go to your family and loved ones. May God give them strength to live this difficult moment.
RIP AND GOD BE WITH THE FAMILY.
She will be missed
To me she passed away months ago…….
She passed away a long time ago
sorry to hear that. so sad
Some of us didn’t know so it’s sad and new. I will pray for her family.
Somebody didn’t do their research for this story. Young lady been passed.
This is a post we ran months ago that auto posted again, you are correct, but considering we all loved her we will just leave it here 🙂
I’ve removed this from the autoblog now so it won’t repost again.
Imma be 40 by the time my hair gets that long smh
Why keep repeat the same comment..
You have the option to un follow the page, until then STFU
Btch bye i was saying ppl keep commenting it old ok we get it.. I didnt say anything about the page so you stfu mind ya own find ya own
^^^ hahaha I agree with you some ppl just don’t take the time out read anymore…it’s sad. Obviously it was stated it was an error…lol smh at some ppl.
Justin is a facebook thug. Fatima if this asshole can comment so can you.
RIP beautiful spirit. ..
I loved her and followed her. She passed away months ago April if I remember correctly from complications with Lupus.
Sad story! May Jehovah strengthen her loved ones through this hardship
Ladies, our blog auto posts….some of our older articles and this was one of them. This was done in error, you are right we ran this story months ago.. – we still have her in our thoughts though, so we will leave it here
They don’t read for nothing.
I’m just finding this out. So, this is new to me! So what if she passed away back in April. For her family, I’m quite sure that her passing is still super raw! You all saying this news is ‘so old’ is very rude crass. I hope none of her family sees these postings!!! RIP beautiful lady!
So sad
Rip sad
Who cares how long ago she passed! I’m glad they recycled their post bc I wasn’t aware that she passed. Thanks to them reposting this I was able to read her story and wish she rest in paradise. She was so young to have suffered and passed the way she did but she has no more suffering to deal with! My prayers are with her family bc death of a loved one never “gets old”
Prayers
