When you talked about consistency, l was like oh yes. Consistency is the main thing that most of us slack on. Massive Hair growth comes with consistency
Consistency is what finally made my hair grow thicker and healthier than ever, I can't believe how lazy I used to be. Now, I'm still a lazy natural BUT NOT at the cost of the integrity of my hair and scalp.
I had to stop doing length checks so damn much. Once every few days. Twice a week. Once a week. And taking out the tape measure! Like omg. 😳. lol Once I stopped obsessing about it my hair was like, “thank you for not pulling us” lol. That extra pulling all the time to check my length is what was hindering my length in the first place. Thank goodness I’m over that now 😂
The one thing that I had to stop doing was avoiding silicones and sulfates. Everyone said they're bad but my hair literally thrives with them, specially since I live in a hot and humid island with an oily scalp.
Same for me. Also, I just realized even though I am low porosity, I have fine hair which seems to thrive on frequent protein treatments (once a month, now). I was so afraid of protein, I only did light proteins every couple of months…
@@blackbutterfly8338 What protein product do you use? I’ve tried Ayurvedic ingredients and I get protein overload with them. I’m trying to learn how to best incorporate protein into my regimen.
@@cutenobi Green Beauty’s hydrolyzed wheat protein is what I use now. Been using for about three months and my hair loves it! It’s stronger and the shedding is significantly lesser than before.
AND... all the reasons you gave for starting a haircare channel, are all the reasons we, your subscribers, love you and are here faithfully each week. It was the "rice water bandwagon" that put a stop to my following a few people, but I'm also keeping it simple now. Thanks, Tonya, for another great video and sharing your vast knowledge with us.
My hair absolutely hates coconut oil for some reason. I was wondering why some products wouldn't work for my hair and saw coconut oil high on the ingredients lists in products my hair said no to. I used straight coconut oil on my hair to isolate the variable to see if it was the culprit and it definitely was!

A big No No for me...not listening to my hair. After trying a plethora of diy's I'm embarrassed to say it took 2 yrs to figure out what my hair was asking for. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you lady for this video.. actuallybdiet reviewed some months ago now. Thumbs up for Dr Berg... i went from 112kg to 103kgs last week.. i am on intermittent fasting.. i am also applying oil immediatly after shampoo under the shower.. hair is happy...but i steel have issues with scalp.. dry.. keeping it simple..totally agree.. Less is more.. Bonjour, greetings from Gabon(Africa)
The thing I had to stop doing was sleeping in my tight elastic ponytail holder and instead doing a loose ponytail with a satin or silk scrunchie. I am definitely seeing results because my crown area had breakage from not doing that but it is on the mend.
I use pure aloe gel to keep my scalp moisturized, and the loc method. I eat more greens, take supplements, drink water and stop eating after 8- and my hair is growing back.
The main thing I learned is that what works for you, works for you. Much like skincare, testing things is fine, especially for problem areas, but don't be discouraged if it doesn't work for you. I also learned that being a lazy natural is fine, but step carefully. I've paid the price for slacking on detangling a couple times lol
Omg I love it!!! Our family eats alot of fresh vegetables n fruits because both my grandparents were farmers 🚜. You came with it on this one (but u always do). Right when u first started speaking about intermittent fasting my first thought was Dr. Berg and the keto diet. Everything you spoke on was the real-real. You have helped me so much on my journey with all your scientific knowledge it squashed alot on the information I was hearing on some of these platforms. I'm not saying the information was all wrong, I think it was mainly just personal preferences versus being FACT! THANK YOU for always keeping it 💯 👌 Uda-best 💋
Oh and let me tell you and everyone else here; consistency is soooo instrumental! Dearest Tonya, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Your wonderful tips stand the test of time, and are supported by science and experiences! For the first time in my life, my hair is waist length now, fuller than ever, and super healthy. I've been slacking off ever so little though haha. But am all encouraged now to pick up my routines again. It all REALLY works. Just give it a little work, and time 🙏💖💖💖💖💕💕💕💕
After your video on different chemical builds of oils, I learned that my hair LOVES olive oil! Since I have low porosity, once a week I try to oil my hair with it (not too much) then put my shower cap on and lay on my heating pad for half an hour. What a difference!
Couldn’t agree more! Especially with the diet! Many a time we focus on hair care once the hair is already grown but really, we should take care before the hair “mushrooms”
I've learned to stop scratching my scalp, especially with my nails and scratching hard and excessively, that definitely makes my hair come out. When it start to itch, I apply my scalp oil, neem, rosemary, lemon balm and peppermint and my clove, amla, green tea black seed and saw palmetto hair n scalp tea
OMG You recommended Dr. Berg!!! So coooool!!! Hihihi made my day 😸💖 I'm a loyal follower of his, and super psyched to see I'm not alone! Fasting for the win ^^
Stopped ACV rinses and will never do them again. I had no idea that acv breaks down protein and kept doing them jumping on the bandwagon. My hair kept falling right out of my head and thinning and finally got to the point where it fell out in clumps and had to big chop. While they work for some, they don't work for everyone. Wish I'd have known that.
I did a scalp exfoliating session today; it feels like my scalp is breathing! It feels so good! (I just don’t recommend coffee grind as an exfoliating, that was a nightmare😅)
I'm excites to try the chemical scalp exfoliators grom Inkey that use acids to remove dead skin etc like we do for facial treatments! I hope CurlyChemist does a video on them!
@God's Standard of Beauty - I tried a diy sugar exfoliation ..... I was tortured. This is where I opted to buy my exfoliation scrub, what a difference. Thank you for sharing your experience.
What I absolutely had to stop doing was getting my hair relaxed . .....almost 5 years ago...lol. My hair was becoming dry and I was losing hair. What I also had to stop doing is depending on my hair stylist in order for my hair to thrive. I do mostly my hair and my hair is so much healthier. Don't get me wrong I don't mind going to this new hair stylist but she has curly hair herself and understands a curly curl.
Awesome information Ty. The one thing I tried early in my natural hair journey was that my hair does not like co-washing it made my hair so limp because it was causing product build up on my hair and scalp. Ty for this great video.🥰
One thing I had to stop doing is using a brush to detangle my hair almost every step of my wash day routine. Before I use a brush I would ensure my hair was moisturized and finger detangled. FYI. I would use a brush to detangle during pre-proo. Then I would use a brush to detangle with conditioner and use a brush while I apply my leave-in in the shower. And then also use a brush while styling. I figured because I was using a highly recommended detangling brush that I needed to use it for every step to prevent tangles because my hair is super prone to tangling when it is exposed and shrunken. Although it is helpful to detangle my hair with a brush, I was using too much mechanical manipulation and I would be pulling a lot of hair out of my hair every wash day. Now I only use a brush to detangle during the conditioner step and sometimes styling, I finger detangle for the other steps and I believe it has reduced the size of my wash day hair shed or breakage. When I first noticed the problem, at the end of every wash day, I would save the hair balls from my shedding/breakage , dry them, put them in a ziploc bag and label the date of my wash day. I did it for several(6-8) wash days every 2 weeks to compare the size of the hair balls overtime. And since I decreased the amount of steps I use a hair brush, my hair balls have been decreasing. Also after every wash day, I examine the hair ball to see how much shedding vs breakage I had. I realize I was shedding a lot and started incorporating green tea rinses and Ayurvedic herbs. So now I use a very wide tooth comb, and finger detangle. I only use a brush for 1 or 2 step.
My hair doesn’t like to be touched too much. But mostly by combs. I’m too rough. And no tension method using blow dryer on heat. Loves natural natural things like henna
Yes I need to be consistent with wash day routine, learn when I need to moisturizer my dry hair and keep it simple. 🤦🏽♀️. Tonya please do the video you mentioned ❤
Wow. This is right on time. I’ve been fighting with a reoccurring scalp infection for the past 6 months. I can’t wait for the scalp care video cause clearly I’m doing something wrong 😩😩
Shanta, I was also suffering from a scalp infection. This has helped me a lot!!! That my scalp is back to normal now. Every two weeks I would wash my hair. I would make four sections, then on the scalp only apply apple cider vinegar (8oz water to 1.33Tbs of apple cider vinegar) for 3 mins per second then wash it out after wash my hair with shampoo in four sections put shampoo on scalp if you have a shampoo brush, apply shampoo then with your finger TIPS no nails gently scrub scalp then use shampoo brush scrub then rinse out then apply shampoo again use finger TIPS only for about a minute scrub then move on to next section do this for all the sections . Always use lukewarm water. Then after on hair only apply deep condition and detangle a second make a twist leave deep condition according to the instructions on the bottle rinse out with Lukewarm water then move on to next section. After use a Leave -in conditioner on hair only no scalp then on the scalp I would apply sulfur 8 then make twists, I would keep them till next wash day in two weeks I did this for two months and my scalp is back to normal I hope it helps ❤️
Omg so I avoided glycerin FOREVER because I live in a dry area & read that you shouldn't use it in arid environments. It is exactly what my hair needed and I'm mad I didn't try it sooner! My hair has literally never been softer.
@@jladylove1 Just add distilled and glycerin a spray bottle, more water of course and about a tablespoon of glycerin, but depending on how much you're making, it don't take a lot either, so start small...
Ms. Tonya, all these are great tips, thank you for sharing this, I never heard anyone address diet in healthy hair care journey. Please keep these informative videos coming im so excited every time you post, and taking it all in going to start with getting my schedule writing it that is down. Thank you for being such a blessing and sharing your wealth with us all. Ine thing I had to stop doing was back to back "protective hair styles, hinch crochets styles". It cause my hair to break and shed excessively, I have low porosity, fine hair, and it was not loving me as much as I loved it. Not to mention I'm not a custom to hair in my face so I was constantly wearing my hair up, the weight of it was not helping me, all in all I followed your direction with" leaving it alone" and being intentional with being careful with my hair. I have seen hair health come now to continue in this journey to obtaining lenght and fullness if its possible. Blessings 🙏🏽
I noticed I try different products. My hair did change. So I need to go back to Shea Moisture products. My hair was doing good until I stopped using it.
I tried cowashing and my hair literally fell out and my follicles were blocked and inflamed. And what was tragic, I had no idea what I had done wrong until years later. Imagine not using 100% SOAP and applying lotions on your body (everywhere ladies).
@@CurlyChemistry I cowash 3 weeks and shampoo once and I've never had an issue and my hair retains moisture. I think these issues only apply to those with scalp issues and those who exercise several times a week. Cowashes do have mild cleansers in them.
Your videos are so informative! Thank you so much!!! I had to stop putting clove oil directly on my scalp…. It made my scalp itch so bad after a couple of days; to the point where I needed to just wash my hair.
Heat directly on the hair had to cease. It happens once a year now. Nothing wrong with heat itself but I apparently did not know how to apply it according to my hair's need
You are amazing… thanks for the confirmation. I’m doing these thangs… I use all natural products & oils on my hair. I have locs…I detox w/ apple cider vinegar b4 each wash…
Coconut oil is evil to my hair. The breakage is not pretty. Whether permed or natural. My hair was rough, and it didn't dawn on me until about five years ago. The weak spots in scalp always suffered. I made my own butter and oil blend from two sistas that really know hair. One suggested that coconut may be the culprit. My butter and oil blend was making friends and family hair look great, mine...not so much. Once I forgot coconut oil for my mix. I would make these every spring and fall,, different blend for different seasons. My hair took off in the growth category. I had health issues in 2020 through 2021. My hair still grew like crazy, I thought it was the steroid therapy that I was on.. It's softer and longer still 4c, I guess, well it could combination 4b/4c and can see that now. One grandmother had thin 4b and my other grandmother had that thick 4c. I don't mind having both on my head. My hair is thriving with moisture treatment and oil/grease every two days. I use the LCOG method, hair is still thirsty and this works for me. Thank you young lady, The Nana has a head full of hair.
Hi Tonya, I was just recovering from protein overload but I used aleovera because I thought it was ‘hydrating’ I ended up with hair as stiff as stick and I am scared that I have started another journey of protein overload. Do you have any tips? I have seen more hair breakage this year than I have ever seen in my entire life. 😢
Hello, can you do a video on Olaplex please?? - is it worth the money, ingredients, which numbers to buy? It’s so confusing to know what’s best for my high porosity hair. Want to invest in some products for the new year 🎉 Thank you
Hey quick question. Is it true Water damages your hair. For example is it bad if I soak my hair in the shower morning and night. As an athlete I shower twice a day. If true can you explain. I like how your channel backs things up with science. Thanks
Hey can Ucuuba butter penetrate hair strands? I am also very confused if olive oil can penetrate hair strands (i see a lot of conflicting studies) or it just best as a carrier oil.
Do you think AHAs weakens hair strands, for example if I use glycolic acid or lactic acid, or salicylic acid on my scalp do you think it would negatively affect the hair strands
Get screened for diabetes as well. It affects every system/organ in the body including skin and hair. DM interrupts the life cycle of a hair follicle. Ask me how I know 🤦🏾♀️
When you talked about consistency, l was like oh yes. Consistency is the main thing that most of us slack on. Massive Hair growth comes with consistency

Hope you like it and thank you!!
I had to stop washing my hair every week. My balding spots have filled in and hair is growing again. My hair likes to be left alone.
Great tip! Sometimes less is best!
Not Touching my hair helps
Using sulfate free shampoos 👎🏾! That was a big no no for me!
Thank you for sharing! :-)
Same here! Sulfate free shampoos had my scalp on FIRE.
@@HeyYall85 my scalp wasn’t having it! It needs to be stripped of EVERYTHING!
Understanding the porosity of my hair made me stop taking every product recommendation. I must have moisture & oil.
Great advice! :-)
I have to stop sleeping with my hair wet (sometimes) hahaha
I get sooo excited to watch your videos Tonya. Thsnks for sharing your knowledge
I stopped using a lot of hair tools. Picks seem to break my hair and I seemed to lose a lot of hair with detangling brushes.
Thanks for sharing!
Very eye opening. THANKS. Shoud the herbs be in their natural form or already processed in oil form?
I stopped the co-washing. Also, coconut oil. My hair went literally haywire and it felt like wire. No more coconut oil for me.
Happy Friday. !@
Happy Friday! :-)
Coconut oil is evil to my hair. The breakage is not pretty. Whether permed or natural. My hair was rough, and it didn't dawn on me until about five years ago. The weak spots in scalp always suffered. I made my own butter and oil blend from two sistas that really know hair. One suggested that coconut may be the culprit. My butter and oil blend was making friends and family hair look great, mine...not so much. Once I forgot coconut oil for my mix. I would make these every spring and fall,, different blend for different seasons. My hair took off in the growth category. I had health issues in 2020 through 2021. My hair still grew like crazy, I thought it was the steroid therapy that I was on.. It's softer and longer still 4c, I guess, well it could combination 4b/4c and can see that now. One grandmother had thin 4b and my other grandmother had that thick 4c. I don't mind having both on my head. My hair is thriving with moisture treatment and oil/grease every two days. I use the LCOG method, hair is still thirsty and this works for me. Thank you young lady, The Nana has a head full of hair.
omg hello gorgeous!!!!
Dr berg is the GOAT 💟
I had to learn to leave my hair alone and stop constantly manipulating it.
Had to stop bantu knots and twirlibg the ends on twists. Seems to snap my ends
Another great resource for fasting is the RUclips Channel A Healthy Alternative. The channel is run by a Black guy and he gives wonderful advice.
I like your video ideas!

Hi Tonya, I was just recovering from protein overload but I used aleovera because I thought it was ‘hydrating’ I ended up with hair as stiff as stick and I am scared that I have started another journey of protein overload. Do you have any tips? I have seen more hair breakage this year than I have ever seen in my entire life. 😢
Hello, can you do a video on Olaplex please?? - is it worth the money, ingredients, which numbers to buy? It’s so confusing to know what’s best for my high porosity hair. Want to invest in some products for the new year 🎉 Thank you
Hey quick question. Is it true Water damages your hair. For example is it bad if I soak my hair in the shower morning and night. As an athlete I shower twice a day. If true can you explain. I like how your channel backs things up with science. Thanks
Can you do a review on dr bronner shampoo i want to wash my hair and scalp with this product
Do you have any information on scalp serums?
Wearing tight bands,and using less products too.
Hey can Ucuuba butter penetrate hair strands? I am also very confused if olive oil can penetrate hair strands (i see a lot of conflicting studies) or it just best as a carrier oil.
Any tips for those with sebboreah (sp?) psoriasis?
Do you think AHAs weakens hair strands, for example if I use glycolic acid or lactic acid, or salicylic acid on my scalp do you think it would negatively affect the hair strands
Are the flash cards loc friendly?
Thank you Tonya!
I have a question
What are some Ingredients or herbs that help reduce breakage and strengthen my hair strands?
I recommend aloe vera gel or juice! :-)

I had to stop detangling my hair in the shower because I was experiencing a lot of shedding.
I use my leave-in to detangle now.
Get screened for diabetes as well. It affects every system/organ in the body including skin and hair. DM interrupts the life cycle of a hair follicle. Ask me how I know 🤦🏾♀️
What is a great heat protectant for blow drying, High porosity hair?
I had to stop using coconut oil
Can you do a video on baking soda as it relates to natural hair?
I don't recommend baking soda on our hair, it's too risky and can lead to damage.
