"sorry I can't I have to wash my hair" lol THIS is not a fake excuse rofl. I once told my boss i had to take the day off to braid my hair (make and install goddess locs actually) she was so confused why i need the WHOLE day and kept texting me saying when i was done "braiding" my hair I should come in.. I finally sent her a picture of my braiding my hair and wrapping the locs and she was SHOOKETH rofl
Kalifornia Soul I'm surprise she didn't fire you if she had thought it a fake excuse. So glad that didn't happen. Can't work all the time and neglect yourself..
Don't #1 Do not delay washing your hair. The longer you wait the more difficult it will be. Do detangle more frequently between washes. Even if its not a thorough strand by strand detangle, even a quick finger detangle will make it easier when you finally do go in thoroughly.
Carl Louis I don't have a defined curl pattern and my hair tends to tangle easily. I usually wear two strand twists and twist outs so whenever I retwist I do a quick finger detangle. It saves time on wash day by minimizing the amount of shed hairs.
Yes! I try to finger detangle like twice a week when washing every 2 weeks. And once a week when washing weekly! It really really keeps the shed hair at bay and makes the hair easier to wash and work with.
NappyFu TV why do you put oil on your hair before your l.o.c method? Doesn't it seal your hair before you apply the rest of the moisture? No disrespect to your method, just curious.
cerline venordhi queen. not if u use a light weight oil instead of a sealing oil. Also she just applied a little, plus the t shirt will wipe some of the oil off. I was sceptical about it at first but after trying it out I felt the difference.
I don't deep condition. My hair grew so much from keeping it simple and wearing wigs. I pre poo with coconut oil, use shampoo and conditioner, apply Shea butter on the damp hair, and twist my hair. Next day I untwist, apply a little more Shea butter to stretch more and put my hair back in twists. Then I wear my wigs. I finger detangle like every two weeks. Bout it. My hair has thrived from being left tf alone lol. I haven't deep conditioned in years. Water and raw Shea butter and finger detangling have really helped my hair. ❤
@@gloriaj.jackson7268 I have 4c hair and my routine is just as simple. Basically leave your hair alone and have very few steps on wash day : shampoo and deep conditioner. What differs is that I apply olive oil and Shea butter to seal the moisture. My hair started to really grow when I kept my routine that simple
I am happy for you and it works! Keeping it simple is the deal cause I'm not about all the fuss and esp spending lots of money of natural hair care products.Everyone is diff though so this may not work for everyone.Sincerely tho,so glad this method works for you.Simple and sweet :D
yes! i have messed up my nails and got hang nails so bad from my hair (later realized i was trying to wash my hair with hair ties on my hair which is how my nails got jacket) i keep them cut down before i do my hair so i dont get any product or anything else happening to my nails to weaken them.
This is genius a lot of times when we think we do good with our hair we might not realize our nails could be harsh if they aren't smoothened sometimes our nails rip and split our hair.
One thing I just cannot stop doing but I need to stop doing, is using a different combo of products each wash day. I can never remember which ones worked well and I probably never give products and my hair enough time to get to know each other. But I cant help it.
This video has changed the game for me!! My hair has retained soooo much moisture after watching her videos! I used to have issues with my 4c hair becoming dry right after wash day, but I no longer have that issue. If you don’t know where to start, start with this video, and her video about moisture vs. hydration. Lastly, her video about moisturizing in the middle of the week. I’m so grateful, girl! Thank you!
I totally agree that you cannot skip deep conditioning! Unfortunately I invited the knots to come in about 7 months ago letting my hair air dry without being in a stretching style so I had major breakage. Please everyone take note of that if you have 4C hair. Thank you NappyFu for being you!
TRJ1920 this is literally me right now. After i wash my hair i just let it be. Ive been natural all my life but like this year im finally actually working with it so im still learning.
So glad you talked about ACV and co washing...I HAVE to use a cleanser to clean my scalp...tried that other stuff and my scalp itched like a dog with fleas.
My scalp itched so bad when I was using rinse out conditioners as cleaners. When I switched to actual products made to cowash (that actually contained cleansing ingredients) I saw a huge change.
I feel like im the only person that can’t relate to having moisture overload (soft & mushy hair). The *only* reason my hair ever breaks off is because it gets dryer than burnt toast, moisture & deep conditioning over night is my best friend lol
Grace Coleman I use to have the same problem but I got a my lil spray bottle and put different oils in it, about a tbl spoon of leave in conditioner and water. Sprayed my hair everyday with it, oiled my scalp 2 or 3 times a week and massaged my scalp. Then I noticed my hair was getting softer and holding moisture.
I know this is like SOOO old. I am just coming across this video. I have watched several of your videos now, and I love them. You are very real and down to earth. Loving the Lord makes you even better for me to watch and listen. God is awesome!!! Anyway, here are my two cents. I don't use heat for my prepoo or for my DC. My hair is naturally VERY high porosity so it absorbs these things very well. I avoid heat because I don't risk lifting my cuticles any more than they are already raised. This is working 'for me'. I heard, on the Green Beauty channel, that this is OK. I was glad to hear that because it was working for me. Just thought I would share that in case it may help another high porosity Sister. My hair is also fine, however, the porosity issue seems to be my biggest challenge. Coconut oil prepoos along with protein treatments have been working wonders! I'm retaining moisture much longer. Thanks for your great videos. Keep up the good work!
Love how you pair humor with and knowledge to get the word out for taking care of natural hair. Still trying to figure out my hair type but for right now, I’m trying to be a HEALTHY hair type. Keep sharing the knowledge. It is appreciated.
I'm 18 now and I've been in perms since 11 yo. I've gone natural 3 months ago. I didn't remember how beautiful my 4c was. Your videos are really helpful, I don't have length issues, what I struggle with is moisture and you're giving me it. Thank you!
I don't understand people that will use conditioner as their shampoo.... smh I completely agree everything she said on this video. The only thing I don't do is pre poo 🤗
I have watched so many of these tutorials and appreciate all the knowledge that my wonderful black sisters are spitting. But, I found a commonality as to what is NOT being taught and that is...A LOT OF WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY CAN AFFECT HOW YOUR HAIR TURNS OUT. Drink water ladies. Moisturize from the inside will help moisturize your outside. Take a multivitamin catered to your lifestyle. I prefer organic MyLife or New Chapter brand. Vitamin E taken everyday can be your hair's best friend. Exercise is a wonderful stimulant. It gets that blood flowing which promotes healthy hair growth. AND eating fruits and veggies will do wonders no matter your diet. In conjunction with all of these wonderful tid bits to beautiful natural (or however you wear your hair), you will not only have healthier hair but also healthier skin. Much love to all of you beautiful ladies. (Cometologist/Stylist since 1993)🙏🏾❤
I just want to say that I love your videos SO much, and have learned so much from watching your videos. Ever since I was like 8 years old, I was always at the hair salon getting perms, micro braids, sew-ins, or crochet braids. So I never EVER learned how to take care of my own hair. But I haven’t gotten a perm in over 2 years because the last perm I got destroyed my hair, so I’m fully natural now, and I feel like I’m a baby learning how to walk when it comes to my hair (pink lotion was still popular when I did my hair lol lol) Anywho, your videos have truly helped me to understand how to take care of my 4c hair, and I can’t thank you enough for your realness and honesty.
"Hello!", "Madam...Sir?!" ....Omg! You had me laughing so hard!🤣🤣🤣. You are so funny. I love your videos, they have helped me get through the dreaded day that is wash day. Lol. Keep up the good work. ❤
Hey. I recently started the pre poo with coconut oil , followed by wash and deep conditioning... I use only home made natural products and I've noticed a BIG difference ... thanks for the advice @nappyfu... I'm loving my natural hair journey
Rejected Doll lol... ME TOO! I've subscribed because she is so funny. Plus I can't front and act like I haven't gotten great tips from her. At the end of the day we're honestly still talking about natural hair.😊
I have high porosity hair. My hair really began to flourish when I started caring for my hair according its porosity instead of my 4c texture.I prepoo with coconut oil, then shampoo and apply coconut oil just as you did. Using products with a lot of slip, like flaxseed gel, to do my twist outs has made a world of difference with my hair. Thanks Nappyfu! I feel like I’m headed in the right direction.
I love your videos! Great tips/reminders. I dc EVERY wash day (once a week) But I will add a little olive, vit E, coconut, castor, jojoba oils along with a few drops of my favorite essential oils (lavender, rosemary, etc,.) I’m gonna work on doing a mask on my face while I dc!👍🏽
When I watch ur videos, I feel like I’m in a classroom every time. I also check to see if you have a video on a hair issue I may be dealing with. Now I know I need to do my pre-poo the night before. No wonder the 30 minute pre-poo wasn’t doing much but only serving as a hot oil treatment. Lol! Thank you for uploading videos!
Thank you for the wash day tips. I've watched so many videos on hair care. I didn't know there was a difference between pre - poo and co-wash. I made the tragic mistake of rushing my wash day. My hair locked up and knots were everywhere. I didn't cry. I found the strength to move on.
I like hot oil treatments because it feels like I am pampering myself. I will try the overnight pre-poo in the new year. I do everything else mentioned in the video.TFS💖
You're my inspiration no wonder God has blessed you with many followers like that I love how you always put a scripture in your videos girl you're amazing!
Listen, I have been natural for over 20 years. I guess I've never followed directions or was very slow regarding being true 4C! For the very 1st time I followed these directions and didn't experience the usual amount of tangles! I'm in tears! My hair has fallen out for years and I haven't been able to experience the health nor growth like others. The money I've spent over the years don't compare to this feeling! Thank you for your insight! Be well! ❤
What you've done is in the past. Please make peace with it, and grow yourself like your hair grows: Steady, slowly, and determined. Deep breaths, and then ace the next wash day ;).
Great video! I personally have 3c/4a hair, but I have the dryness and stubourness of 4c hair, so I watch a bunch of 4c hair wash days. I personally have VERRRY low porosity hair, so I use LCO instead of LOC so that the oil doesn't seal out the cream.
You are so dope! Super funny. Extremely intelligent. Beautiful person. I've been natural for over 10 years and have been recently debating about relaxing and giving up the game! Then I found you. 😍 Thanks! I'm gonna keep my long natural 4c hair...now I finally know how to treat it.
I have 3a 3b hair type and I still follow NappyFu to the T!!! She the TRUTH, my hair is so much healthier and growing faster with following the info that she puts out there, my #1 RUclipsr!!
Love your videos. I have to say everyone's hair is different. I do deep condition overnight alot and I don't usually prepoo. And I have tailbone length 4c hair. But I do a lot of what you suggest. What works best is me leaving my hair alone and making sure it is moisturized.
Great tips for wash day and the pre poo works I do them with coconut oil and a real aloe leaf I get from my local food store and they both work great on my hair
This is one of the best natural hair videos I've ever seen, girl you had me cracking up throughout the whole video, your vibe is a whole mood! I only went in to get tips for my wash day that's coming up in a couple of days but I left with good tips and a lifted spirit!
LOL!!! That pre-poo beattt!!! Thank you for releasing this video!! It was right on time for me on my wash day & I definitely applied these DO's and DONT's to my wash day routine.
Wow I really wish I’d found this before. Le struggle with my 4C hair has left me stressed (but with toned arms) but with most of my hair in the drain! Alas, I feel I’ve now found my hair guru. Can’t wait to get started on the right(eous) path. Thank you!
My Do's ✅ prepoo the night before with grapeseed (my hair hates coconut oil - this is a great 2nd best based on my research), peppermint, jojoba, argan, castor (in the winter) and rosemary oil. ✅ Do drench my hair with water for 2-5 minutes before adding shampoo ✅ Do use a heated cap for my deep conditioners/ masque 👎 I don't use a blow dryer.👎I do not waist time with regular rinse out conditioners. I always deep condition on wash days. 🙂🙂
a DON'T is using anything but shampoo since I switched to butter instead of an oil in my LOC. the build-up is just TOO REAL for a ACV or cowash. can I ask when should we do a protein treatment/what are some good ones? I know you previously said in another video that eggs don't have a protein small enough to penetrate the shaft. What's a good treatment then? How do you know if you are protein sensitive, as well? lol maybe I just gave you an idea for next week's video. It should be all put in 1 video, if you think about it. Thank you for this one!!!!
I recommend doing a protein treatment 1 a month or even every other month if your hair isn't bleached. Doing intense protein treatments too often will make your hair very brittle and extremely hard.
we needed to hear this reminder. even as natural nappy OGs...im watching as i feel the knots and the dryness that needs my loving.... thanks for the African & American humor. love it. Gorg.
Thanks for this... I just love your videos... I do prepoo overnight, cleanse every wash day which means weekly or biweekly, deep condition then do the LCO method.
Excellent advice. I tried blow drying n it sucked all the moisture out of my hair. Never did it gain. Was trying to do something about the tips of my hair. My hair is great until I get to my ends. Always tangled. Have put into action your hair care advice. Been natural 4 years now. Must twist my hair every night or it can't be comb. Have been told that some people have to do this because of their hair. My hair is very tight n the longer it grows the more tangled my ends get. Can't protective style. Edges sensitive n recently grow back. No wigs, weave, just wear my fro. Really enjoy ur videos.
I have the same problem with blow drying: my hair was super stretched but it was also a freaking desert lol. For your ends, maybe you need to trim your hair more often. My hair is very fine and tangles easily so I try to get it professionally trimmed every 6 months now. I don't do it myself anymore because I always do a terrible job lol (ends always looked worse than before the trim...). Also, maybe you can do twists as a protective style, it does not put any stress on your edges, and it's with your own hair.
Grace I'm obsessed I get so upset when you don't post weekly, like it hurts my soul. But ik you have a life. :( Very interesting the quote you chose for your video. Someone just told it to me yesterday in response to some hardships I'm having. Amazing. Thank you!
Check out herboo botanicals shampoo, it's no sulphate n zero preservatives. They also have great natural hair oils like Jamaican castor oil n coconut oil etc
"Wass good cortex, I'm here to protect mah people" LMAO I CANT! I now pre poo and I have definitely noticed the difference. Ive just been using aloe and warm water and seems to give enough slip to detangle before wash day. Should try the oil out though. Also washing in twists, still time consuming but def cuts down on time.
Love your videos! You are so funny but informative. If I come across some new hair info I will check to see if you have a video on it. Just cut out my locs and back to being a loose natural. So much has changed in 6 years. I am thankful for you vids.
My hair loves aloe vera in products so i finally bought plain aloe juice and added it to my spray bottle. After washing i spray aloe vera on my wet hair and it smoothes the cuticles, defines curls, helps reduce frizz tangles, and balances the PH like ACV but without the smell lol I recommend aloe vera juice for all hair types as a cuticle smoothing step after a wash. Followed by your fav cream and oil
Haaaalaloya preepoo yo ya 🙌 that's y I luv ur videos 😍 bzw can u make lyk a whole diy series u know us broke college students cnt go to the store buy 20$ dc we end up eating noodles fr the rest of the month😂 so plz nappy 🙏
I have been on this journey for a year and 7 months now and I'm still learning about what works and what doesn't work for me. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
For my prepoo. I normally spray some water on my hair, then apply coconut oil mix with castor oil, once done I would degangle my hair. This done in sections. After which I place a plastic cap over my hair overnight. Next day I wash my hair with a shampoo and use a deep condition. I usually leave the deep condition in for an 1 or more, placing a plastic cap over it. Then wash out. When its damp I normally apply a cream then my cocount oil mix with the castor oil and just twist it out in sections. That what I do. Please feel free to give me any advise or make any recommendations where necessary. Just recently transitioned so I am learning as I go along. Always a pleaure watching your channel.
Naturally Focus I also do the same except instead of shampoo I use organic black soap because I don't trust the ingredients of the more affordable shampoos in our country (I live in Kenya), so black soap works well for me. I'm wondering, have you tried acv? If so, where in your routine?
So much knowledge!! Love you for this! I recently started washing my hair in braids and it seems to make such a difference! I wash and condition in a braided state and it seems to really be making a difference just in these few months. You set a high bar Sis, we 'ppreciate it!
Is it selfish of me to want more videos per week. I feel like the best RUclips-ers don't upload as frequent, but the not so great ones put out "content" multiple times a week. I recently realized for my low porosity hair it's best to let the water evaporate before adding my leave-in to my hair. I tried the not putting oil on scalp and that was a disaster.
Hi NappyFu I'm tying my hardest to transition to natural, but I'm having a hard time finding a hair regimen. It's so many products, do's and don'ts and heat no heat. Can't even find time. Love your video's !!
I have extremely dry hair so I do a hot oil treatment every time I use shampoo (once a month) most of the time I co wash my hair which might be 1-2 times a month depending on what my event calendar looks like. Crotchet braids have been my saving grace for protective styling. Its easier to keep my scalp moisturized when its braided down. I just bought a scalp massaging shampoo brush which I'm excited to try in the new year. I definitely need to prepoo more often I haven't done it in a while.
Girl this is such a good video, been watching you for while now and you’re so real with your videos and damn near hilarious. I just have one question, how do I lessen my damn fairy knots. They are messing with my mind lmao
Yea you made another attempt at shower recording lol and I love your bathroom lol and your tips are always good I may lightly finger detangle because I have a toddler and wash day is already long but I always think about what nappyfu said and I only pre poo with oil it’s the only way
@NappyFu, what happens to your hair when it experiences hygral fatigue? Is it dry? Does it break? How do I know if I have been experiencing it? Love you videos and your spirit!
Great Video! Thank you! Dos: 1 Pre-Detangle the day before (Steam or a spray with water & glycerin. Braid it up. The next day, I hide under a hat until I am ready to wash, praying I don't run into somebody fine.) 2. Cleanse- a sulfate free shampoo weekly and a co-wash in the middle of the week (Sorry Sis. :( I have a job that sometimes requires me to walk into nasty situations. Hair gotta stay fresh and clean). 3. Deep Condition w/heat and follow with another detangle. Fingers only. 4. Apply leave-in, let it dry ( Hair is a diva and she hates styling on wet or greasy hair.) 5. Style-Stretched such as braids, twists or some kind of roller set. Don'ts 1. Don't forget to do any of the above. The Result- A Tangled mess during cleansing, lots of hair and tears in the hair trapper, smelly, dirty, dry hair during the week, breakage and set backs. Also no shampoos with sulfates, conditioners as shampoo, or hair styles like wash and gos. Even what I use on my hair during the season (lighter products in Summer, etc.) and what I chose to condition or style my hair with makes a difference ( Shea butter must the 5th ingredient or lower on the ingredients food chain because we are not friends, just co-workers).No detangling on wet hair UNLESS I do it post-Deep condition because my hair is now pliable and will give a bit.
I don't pre poo anymore it takes to much time but I did quit co washing with rinse out conditioners completely after watching one of your videos I was convinced that the scalp needed to cbe leaned and conditioners were just sitting on dirt and problally causing more build up thanks for opening my eyes.
Sooooo how about its the same video girl......lol. Yall going to see this same clip until I can get fancy and get a better updated one. But yea I won't do it again unless it can be the quality I truly like...Or that husband I talked about comes. 🤔👀💨
Gurl...I just want to say that you are my new best friend!! I didn't know what to do with all of my natural hair and I finally figured out how to manage my kinks, thanks to you. You are awesome!!! Keep those videos coming hunTy!! 😁😁
I've been natural for 2 years now. I'm still learning what works and what doesn't.
Cara Dion me too
Same! And it's been 5 years lol!
same here and it's been 3 lol
Try 5 and still don't know what works. Still learning. Ain't it interesting?
Cara Dion yeah me too I’m trying girl lol
"sorry I can't I have to wash my hair" lol THIS is not a fake excuse rofl.

👌🏾👌🏾
I have 4a hair. Detangling between washes does nooot work for me at all. That would mean unclumping my curls and causing them to tangle.
Carl Louis I don't have a defined curl pattern and my hair tends to tangle easily. I usually wear two strand twists and twist outs so whenever I retwist I do a quick finger detangle. It saves time on wash day by minimizing the amount of shed hairs.
This is so necessary! If I wait too long, my hair gets matted! It takes FOREVER to detangle when it gets to that state. Never. Again.
Yes! I try to finger detangle like twice a week when washing every 2 weeks. And once a week when washing weekly! It really really keeps the shed hair at bay and makes the hair easier to wash and work with.
NappyFu lowkey is a rapper y'all. She DROPPED that beat for Pre Poo 😂😂😂
Ayeeeee 🙃
NappyFu TV why do you put oil on your hair before your l.o.c method? Doesn't it seal your hair before you apply the rest of the moisture? No disrespect to your method, just curious.
cerline venord watch the video from 8:20 she explains why she does it 😊
Trinity_ NubianQueen thanks but doesn't oil seal the cuticle and prevent more moisture from entering?
cerline venordhi queen. not if u use a light weight oil instead of a sealing oil. Also she just applied a little, plus the t shirt will wipe some of the oil off. I was sceptical about it at first but after trying it out I felt the difference.
I heard she was the queen of 4c hair so I had to subscribe
Lol thanks Hun!!
She is the Queen I recommend her to anyone I see on social media that wants help dealing with their 4c hair
Jasmine Effanga-Peter Yes, she is. And has kept it real from day one.
My black ass sitting here waiting for this video. Worth the wait!
Thanks Hun.

Thank you for that... because trying to keep up with the Naturals, buying product will cost me more than my mortgage...

I always always check for nail breakage or spliting before doing anything 2 my hair.
This is KEY
100%
I cut mine lol
yes! i have messed up my nails and got hang nails so bad from my hair (later realized i was trying to wash my hair with hair ties on my hair which is how my nails got jacket) i keep them cut down before i do my hair so i dont get any product or anything else happening to my nails to weaken them.
This is genius a lot of times when we think we do good with our hair we might not realize our nails could be harsh if they aren't smoothened sometimes our nails rip and split our hair.
Pre-poo with coconut oil straight changed my life. Thank you for saving my hair NappyFu! 💕
One thing I just cannot stop doing but I need to stop doing, is using a different combo of products each wash day. I can never remember which ones worked well and I probably never give products and my hair enough time to get to know each other. But I cant help it.
Every time you wash your hair write it down and mention what you did for your hair
Do a hair diary, write down which products you've used every wash day and then write how your hair felt afterwards. That's what I do
Thank you for recording in the shower even though u hate it 😂😂. I love your wash day videos. They have changed my type 4 hair.
You welcome and thank u too.

NappyFu TV Thank you, More than you'll ever know! 💖
Okay!!!

Metoooooooooo. Yahweh help us forreal. My daughter is 8. She's 4a/b.
Anyone starting over or going back to natural, this definitely the channel to start with👌🏾👌🏾 very informative 👆🏾
These videos are always coming at the perfect time. I have to wash my hair today. Thank you
Were has this video been my whole natural life 😭❤️
I have watched so many of these tutorials and appreciate all the knowledge that my wonderful black sisters are spitting. But, I found a commonality as to what is NOT being taught and that is...A LOT OF WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY CAN AFFECT HOW YOUR HAIR TURNS OUT. Drink water ladies. Moisturize from the inside will help moisturize your outside. Take a multivitamin catered to your lifestyle. I prefer organic MyLife or New Chapter brand. Vitamin E taken everyday can be your hair's best friend. Exercise is a wonderful stimulant. It gets that blood flowing which promotes healthy hair growth. AND eating fruits and veggies will do wonders no matter your diet. In conjunction with all of these wonderful tid bits to beautiful natural (or however you wear your hair), you will not only have healthier hair but also healthier skin. Much love to all of you beautiful ladies. (Cometologist/Stylist since 1993)🙏🏾❤
I just want to say that I love your videos SO much, and have learned so much from watching your videos. Ever since I was like 8 years old, I was always at the hair salon getting perms, micro braids, sew-ins, or crochet braids. So I never EVER learned how to take care of my own hair. But I haven’t gotten a perm in over 2 years because the last perm I got destroyed my hair, so I’m fully natural now, and I feel like I’m a baby learning how to walk when it comes to my hair (pink lotion was still popular when I did my hair lol lol) Anywho, your videos have truly helped me to understand how to take care of my 4c hair, and I can’t thank you enough for your realness and honesty.
"Hello!", "Madam...Sir?!" ....Omg! You had me laughing so hard!🤣🤣🤣. You are so funny. I love your videos, they have helped me get through the dreaded day that is wash day. Lol.
Keep up the good work. ❤
Hey. I recently started the pre poo with coconut oil , followed by wash and deep conditioning... I use only home made natural products and I've noticed a BIG difference ... thanks for the advice @nappyfu... I'm loving my natural hair journey
I've been watching your videos like I have 4c hair when I dont😪
Rejected Doll lol 😂 all wash videos r entertaining for me. But I have kinky hair tho
Awwww thank you!
Rejected Doll 🤣
Rejected Doll lol... ME TOO! I've subscribed because she is so funny. Plus I can't front and act like I haven't gotten great tips from her. At the end of the day we're honestly still talking about natural hair.😊
I have high porosity hair. My hair really began to flourish when I started caring for my hair according its porosity instead of my 4c texture.I prepoo with coconut oil, then shampoo and apply coconut oil just as you did. Using products with a lot of slip, like flaxseed gel, to do my twist outs has made a world of difference with my hair. Thanks Nappyfu! I feel like I’m headed in the right direction.
Your hair Looks Fuller n Longer...Good 4 U....Great Job...👍😉❤💁 n ur vids r sooo Funny 😂😂😂
Curlygirl582 I thought it was just me.
I love your videos! Great tips/reminders. I dc EVERY wash day (once a week) But I will add a little olive, vit E, coconut, castor, jojoba oils along with a few drops of my favorite essential oils (lavender, rosemary, etc,.) I’m gonna work on doing a mask on my face while I dc!👍🏽
When I watch ur videos, I feel like I’m in a classroom every time. I also check to see if you have a video on a hair issue I may be dealing with. Now I know I need to do my pre-poo the night before. No wonder the 30 minute pre-poo wasn’t doing much but only serving as a hot oil treatment. Lol! Thank you for uploading videos!
Thank you for the wash day tips. I've watched so many videos on hair care. I didn't know there was a difference between pre - poo and co-wash. I made the tragic mistake of rushing my wash day. My hair locked up and knots were everywhere. I didn't cry. I found the strength to move on.
My fenugreek/Moringa hair oil mix does a bomb Pre-Poo!! My hair stays moisturized for days!! You're too funny!!
ife360TV Naturally hey 👋😊
What’s your recipe?
How do you make the fenugreek oil?
I like hot oil treatments because it feels like I am pampering myself. I will try the overnight pre-poo in the new year. I do everything else mentioned in the video.TFS💖
You're my inspiration no wonder God has blessed you with many followers like that I love how you always put a scripture in your videos girl you're amazing!
Listen, I have been natural for over 20 years. I guess I've never followed directions or was very slow regarding being true 4C! For the very 1st time I followed these directions and didn't experience the usual amount of tangles! I'm in tears! My hair has fallen out for years and I haven't been able to experience the health nor growth like others. The money I've spent over the years don't compare to this feeling! Thank you for your insight! Be well! ❤
You know you're into deep when you spend you're whole sundays waiting for a new NappyFu video 😂
Ayeeeee!! Appreciate you.
This was so good! I have locs but I am learning so much for my 2 year old daughter! She has such beautiful, 4b hair so I want to take good care of it!
FML I am literally watching this while applying deep conditioner after an ACV rinse, I genuinely thought it cleanses the hair lol
What you've done is in the past. Please make peace with it, and grow yourself like your hair grows: Steady, slowly, and determined. Deep breaths, and then ace the next wash day ;).
Great video! I personally have 3c/4a hair, but I have the dryness and stubourness of 4c hair, so I watch a bunch of 4c hair wash days. I personally have VERRRY low porosity hair, so I use LCO instead of LOC so that the oil doesn't seal out the cream.
I KNOW I was not the only one jamming to that pre-poo beat😂🔥
You are so dope! Super funny. Extremely intelligent. Beautiful person. I've been natural for over 10 years and have been recently debating about relaxing and giving up the game! Then I found you. 😍 Thanks! I'm gonna keep my long natural 4c hair...now I finally know how to treat it.
Btw I will try finishing drying my hair in the stretched state...👍 Great Tip...Thanks 😏👍❤
I have 3a 3b hair type and I still follow NappyFu to the T!!! She the TRUTH, my hair is so much healthier and growing faster with following the info that she puts out there, my #1 RUclipsr!!
Love your videos. I have to say everyone's hair is different. I do deep condition overnight alot and I don't usually prepoo. And I have tailbone length 4c hair. But I do a lot of what you suggest. What works best is me leaving my hair alone and making sure it is moisturized.
Carina Carroll I agree I deep condition with heat and leave it in overnight
Thank you for sharing .
Genetics though lol
Janai Marie yes. I shampoo. Then deep condition usually overnight. I mix my deep conditioner with olive oil sometimes.
How do you moisturize your hair and leave it alone also. That’s my main problem
Great tips for wash day and the pre poo works I do them with coconut oil and a real aloe leaf I get from my local food store and they both work great on my hair
I know you don’t want to put any heat, but man it would be so cool to see that length check.
This is one of the best natural hair videos I've ever seen, girl you had me cracking up throughout the whole video, your vibe is a whole mood! I only went in to get tips for my wash day that's coming up in a couple of days but I left with good tips and a lifted spirit!
Liked before watching 😆💅
Frizzii Mizzii lmaoo me tooo as soon as it started mayne
LOL!!! That pre-poo beattt!!! Thank you for releasing this video!! It was right on time for me on my wash day & I definitely applied these DO's and DONT's to my wash day routine.
I don't rinse my low porosity hair with cold water to close cuticle after adding oils to lock in moisture.
Wow I really wish I’d found this before. Le struggle with my 4C hair has left me stressed (but with toned arms) but with most of my hair in the drain! Alas, I feel I’ve now found my hair guru. Can’t wait to get started on the right(eous) path. Thank you!
and today's my wash....thx
im so happy she showed photos of women with 4c hair. something I can relate to laugh out loud
Pre pooing has stopped my hair from shedding and it’s healthier.
My Do's ✅ prepoo the night before with grapeseed (my hair hates coconut oil - this is a great 2nd best based on my research), peppermint, jojoba, argan, castor (in the winter) and rosemary oil. ✅ Do drench my hair with water for 2-5 minutes before adding shampoo ✅ Do use a heated cap for my deep conditioners/ masque 👎 I don't use a blow dryer.👎I do not waist time with regular rinse out conditioners. I always deep condition on wash days. 🙂🙂
a DON'T is using anything but shampoo since I switched to butter instead of an oil in my LOC. the build-up is just TOO REAL for a ACV or cowash. can I ask when should we do a protein treatment/what are some good ones? I know you previously said in another video that eggs don't have a protein small enough to penetrate the shaft. What's a good treatment then? How do you know if you are protein sensitive, as well? lol maybe I just gave you an idea for next week's video. It should be all put in 1 video, if you think about it. Thank you for this one!!!!
Kiara Duncan yeah I would like to know as well. I have a hard time knowing when to incorporate a protein treatment
I recommend doing a protein treatment 1 a month or even every other month if your hair isn't bleached. Doing intense protein treatments too often will make your hair very brittle and extremely hard.
Rice water
we needed to hear this reminder. even as natural nappy OGs...im watching as i feel the knots and the dryness that needs my loving.... thanks for the African & American humor. love it. Gorg.
NappyFu, please help me! I'm a 4b/c natural, going grey. How do I care for my grey hair to get softness and shine. I need a "how to" tutorial, PLEASE!
We don't have same hair texture but i watch your channel cuz you funny, informative and not camera shy. ✊👍👍
Thanks for this... I just love your videos... I do prepoo overnight, cleanse every wash day which means weekly or biweekly, deep condition then do the LCO method.
vivienne sally I agree I do the LCO for my 4k/c hair
Tell me about it, it works perfect.
Excellent advice. I tried blow drying n it sucked all the moisture out of my hair. Never did it gain. Was trying to do something about the tips of my hair. My hair is great until I get to my ends. Always tangled. Have put into action your hair care advice. Been natural 4 years now. Must twist my hair every night or it can't be comb. Have been told that some people have to do this because of their hair. My hair is very tight n the longer it grows the more tangled my ends get. Can't protective style. Edges sensitive n recently grow back. No wigs, weave, just wear my fro. Really enjoy ur videos.
I have the same problem with blow drying: my hair was super stretched but it was also a freaking desert lol. For your ends, maybe you need to trim your hair more often. My hair is very fine and tangles easily so I try to get it professionally trimmed every 6 months now. I don't do it myself anymore because I always do a terrible job lol (ends always looked worse than before the trim...). Also, maybe you can do twists as a protective style, it does not put any stress on your edges, and it's with your own hair.
Your personality is BOMB sis! And the content and quality of your videos are on point. I'm subcribing
i just love this girl. she is so real and authentic!!!
I love your channel. You always give great advise.
Grace I'm obsessed I get so upset when you don't post weekly, like it hurts my soul. But ik you have a life. :(
Very interesting the quote you chose for your video. Someone just told it to me yesterday in response to some hardships I'm having. Amazing. Thank you!
Right on time for today's wash dayyy. Thanks NappyFu!
Check out herboo botanicals shampoo, it's no sulphate n zero preservatives. They also have great natural hair oils like Jamaican castor oil n coconut oil etc
"Wass good cortex, I'm here to protect mah people" LMAO I CANT! I now pre poo and I have definitely noticed the difference. Ive just been using aloe and warm water and seems to give enough slip to detangle before wash day. Should try the oil out though. Also washing in twists, still time consuming but def cuts down on time.
Jasmine McNeal 😂😂😂😂 that part was hilarious
Love your videos! You are so funny but informative. If I come across some new hair info I will check to see if you have a video on it. Just cut out my locs and back to being a loose natural. So much has changed in 6 years. I am thankful for you vids.
Any advice from blow drying naturals on how to best incorporate blow drying to stretch hair while still following this wash day routine??
My hair loves aloe vera in products so i finally bought plain aloe juice and added it to my spray bottle. After washing i spray aloe vera on my wet hair and it smoothes the cuticles, defines curls, helps reduce frizz tangles, and balances the PH like ACV but without the smell lol I recommend aloe vera juice for all hair types as a cuticle smoothing step after a wash. Followed by your fav cream and oil
What???? Just in time! I'm gonna wash my hair later today lol Thank you Ms. Nappy Fu ❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Always informative. 👍👏🏿
when I saw the Bible verse:
SUBSCRIBEEEEE!
You know what I love?, your use of plastic bags, very simple. Thanks for the tips I’ll try to deep condition
Haaaalaloya preepoo yo ya 🙌 that's y I luv ur videos 😍 bzw can u make lyk a whole diy series u know us broke college students cnt go to the store buy 20$ dc we end up eating noodles fr the rest of the month😂 so plz nappy 🙏
Thanks hun. Yes I'll work on it.
Did I hear a Nigerian accent!? Oh my!😍😍 I'm gonna subscribe right now!! Not because of Nationality but because you're natural 👍
"What's good cortex Im here to protect my people" Woman you are too much but spot on. Thanks for this video.😂
I have been on this journey for a year and 7 months now and I'm still learning about what works and what doesn't work for me. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
For my prepoo. I normally spray some water on my hair, then apply coconut oil mix with castor oil, once done I would degangle my hair. This done in sections. After which I place a plastic cap over my hair overnight.
Next day I wash my hair with a shampoo and use a deep condition. I usually leave the deep condition in for an 1 or more, placing a plastic cap over it. Then wash out.
When its damp I normally apply a cream then my cocount oil mix with the castor oil and just twist it out in sections.
That what I do. Please feel free to give me any advise or make any recommendations where necessary. Just recently transitioned so I am learning as I go along.
Always a pleaure watching your channel.
Naturally Focus I also do the same except instead of shampoo I use organic black soap because I don't trust the ingredients of the more affordable shampoos in our country (I live in Kenya), so black soap works well for me. I'm wondering, have you tried acv? If so, where in your routine?
I do exactly the same and it helps me so much,
So much knowledge!! Love you for this! I recently started washing my hair in braids and it seems to make such a difference! I wash and condition in a braided state and it seems to really be making a difference just in these few months. You set a high bar Sis, we 'ppreciate it!
Is it selfish of me to want more videos per week. I feel like the best RUclips-ers don't upload as frequent, but the not so great ones put out "content" multiple times a week. I recently realized for my low porosity hair it's best to let the water evaporate before adding my leave-in to my hair. I tried the not putting oil on scalp and that was a disaster.
You described my wash day almost to a tee! So glad to know I'm doing things right👌🏾
Hi NappyFu
I'm tying my hardest to transition to natural, but I'm having a hard time finding a hair regimen. It's so many products, do's and don'ts and heat no heat. Can't even find time. Love your video's !!
I have extremely dry hair so I do a hot oil treatment every time I use shampoo (once a month) most of the time I co wash my hair which might be 1-2 times a month depending on what my event calendar looks like. Crotchet braids have been my saving grace for protective styling. Its easier to keep my scalp moisturized when its braided down. I just bought a scalp massaging shampoo brush which I'm excited to try in the new year. I definitely need to prepoo more often I haven't done it in a while.
Girl this is such a good video, been watching you for while now and you’re so real with your videos and damn near hilarious.
I just have one question, how do I lessen my damn fairy knots. They are messing with my mind lmao
Thank u so much!!! Well do you keep your hair stretched?
Yes with two strand twists most of the time, and I normally detangle before washing.
Btw your hair has grown so beautifully gosh😩
Trim those fairy knots from time to time it also prevents split ends .Then seal with oil.
Nappyfu you are the bomb, beautiful and a blessing. You just help me get back on track with my 4c hair..thank you sis!
Yea you made another attempt at shower recording lol and I love your bathroom lol and your tips are always good I may lightly finger detangle because I have a toddler and wash day is already long but I always think about what nappyfu said and I only pre poo with oil it’s the only way
Awwww thank u.
Love NappyFu !!
Thanx for this video now i know acv is not a cleanser...
Tumaniel Narcis I was gonna try the ACV but now I know it doesn't do anything. This is a process but I ain't going back to the "creamy crack"Lol
@NappyFu, what happens to your hair when it experiences hygral fatigue? Is it dry? Does it break? How do I know if I have been experiencing it? Love you videos and your spirit!
the way she said AAACCCVVVV lol
Kristelle Beauboeuf that same part came up exactly as I read your comment😂😂
Great Video! Thank you!
Dos:
1 Pre-Detangle the day before (Steam or a spray with water & glycerin. Braid it up. The next day, I hide under a hat until I am ready to wash, praying I don't run into somebody fine.)
2. Cleanse- a sulfate free shampoo weekly and a co-wash in the middle of the week (Sorry Sis. :( I have a job that sometimes requires me to walk into nasty situations. Hair gotta stay fresh and clean).
3. Deep Condition w/heat and follow with another detangle. Fingers only.
4. Apply leave-in, let it dry ( Hair is a diva and she hates styling on wet or greasy hair.)
5. Style-Stretched such as braids, twists or some kind of roller set.
Don'ts
1. Don't forget to do any of the above. The Result- A Tangled mess during cleansing, lots of hair and tears in the hair trapper, smelly, dirty, dry hair during the week, breakage and set backs.
Also no shampoos with sulfates, conditioners as shampoo, or hair styles like wash and gos. Even what I use on my hair during the season (lighter products in Summer, etc.) and what I chose to condition or style my hair with makes a difference ( Shea butter must the 5th ingredient or lower on the ingredients food chain because we are not friends, just co-workers).No detangling on wet hair UNLESS I do it post-Deep condition because my hair is now pliable and will give a bit.
I really like this 💕 it was super informative.
Thanks hun
I don't pre poo anymore it takes to much time but I did quit co washing with rinse out conditioners completely after watching one of your videos I was convinced that the scalp needed to cbe leaned and conditioners were just sitting on dirt and problally causing more build up thanks for opening my eyes.
Ms. Fu you lied, said you'll never record in the shower again lol I seen that water dripping on ya skin girl
Sooooo how about its the same video girl......lol. Yall going to see this same clip until I can get fancy and get a better updated one. But yea I won't do it again unless it can be the quality I truly like...Or that husband I talked about comes. 🤔👀💨
