It says invalid code
best tip: your hair doesn’t always have to look “perfect” and it’s okay for hair to be wild and free and still be beautiful
Absolutely!
Every time I put gell in my hair, it says back..." Harpo, what dis???" 😅
BEST HAIR TIPS:
1) oils
2) gentleness
3) no chemicals including color
4) do everything in sections
5) conditioning cleansers
6) finger detangling
Best advice I ever received for growing hair: Low manipulation. I've been stumbling around on this planet for 50-some years and I literally had NO IDEA. No wonder I failed so many times to grow my hair. And now that I'm post menopausal, I may 🚫 never get the results I could have had when I was younger. Regardless of my own results, I can still see a huge difference. Low manipulation! Wow!!
Best tip: pre-pooing and deep conditioning every wash day! Thank you, Tanya! 🥰
Best tip: To stretch tight coils by banding with small silk covered hair ties to stop strands being pulled by elastic
Where did u buy those?☺️
Where do you find them?
Pre-poo your hair. I tried it and loved it. Especially doing it overnight and washing my hair the following day.
I pre’d poo my hair with vitamin e oil/olive oil for 30 minutes, then clarified my fair with Suave daily clarifying shampoo, I used difeel biotin hair protein mask for 7 minutes, then used tresseme hydrating super moisturizing conditioner for 5 minutes.
My LCO method is ORS leave in conditioner, ORS styling lotion and BJCO vitamin a, d and e for a sealant, then put my hair in two braids. My hair loves the finger detangling method.
Pre-pooing and the use of humectant water are game changers for me. As my hair gets longer, they are essential in my detangling and moisture routines.
Great advice!
Having a Moisture + Protein balance has been the advice for me.
Yes!
Rosemary oil, the importance of scalp hair, and establishing a hair routine (for real)
Absolutely!
I am in my sixties and I can't believe the growth improvement I've seen since putting rosemary extract into my products.
Scalp health. Game changer for it all along with drinking water ❤❤❤❤❤ty
Changing out my Shower Head - OMG the recommendation you gave, it has been a HUGE GAME CHANGER.
Thankyou for your tips.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾 😊
I bought the Aloe Vera juice and forgot what to do with it 😅 so now I’ll be pre pooing with that. I’ll add it to my spray bottle and go to town on my wash days. Thank you 🙏🏽
For first timers: is there a particular aloe vera one should try?
As for your question at the end; to remember that grease is a sealant NOT a moisturizer. So make sure to moisturize first before using grease. And it's all good.
Hey! The actual aloe plant is ideal.
@@CurlyChemistry much obliged!
Best tip: using ACV on my deep conditioning mask or conditioner, game changer ❤
Hello and Thank You so much!
Thanks Tonya 🙏🏾💜
I’m saving up to get your coaching on starting a hair care line! I been watching you for a long time and you taught me so much.
Thanks for making this video for me 🥰
Hi curly chemistry I want to do a DIY humectant based deep conditioner because I don’t have the money rn for a good quality one I asked AI and I wanted to get it professionally approved -here is it
Certainly! Here's a simple DIY humectant-based deep conditioner recipe for your 4b hair:
**Ingredients:**
- 1 ripe avocado (moisturizing and nourishing)
- 2 tablespoons of honey (humectant, attracts moisture)
- 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel (hydrating and soothing)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (moisturizing and adds shine)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (moisturizing and strengthens hair)
- 1 tablespoon of glycerin (humectant, attracts moisture)
- Optional: a few drops of essential oil for fragrance (e.g., lavender, rosemary)
💫✨”You need to let your scalp br💨athe, 🗣️💫✨
Best Tip: drench Hair with water before applying shampoo! Looking forward to trying out Ritual, thanks for the discount 😊
You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing your hair tip, I completely agree!
👋🏽 Hey Tonya.
The aloe pre-poo was the #1 game changer for both my daughter and I.
Also, using the proper detangling tools on wet hair makes a huge difference.
Thanks for the vitamin code. 😊
I love it! I’m glad you and your daughter are seeing results with the aloe pre-poo! ☺️
Pre-pooing is a game changer for me. It really helps soften my roots and my hair doesn't get tangled like it use to.
Yes, it’s amazing!
Yes yes yes
The video i really need.
Thank you 🥰💙
Using Castor Oil , my hair love it!!!
I always learn so much from your videos. You've kept me on a positive hair care track since my hair loss due to COVID. Thank you!
*May I suggest that you use a microphone, it would increase the sound quality of your videos.
Hi curlychemistry... I am from the Caribbean ...🇹🇹 thank you for taking the time to educate us about our natural hair... i truly appreciate the advice and how simple you break it down for our understanding 💯
I also have a ?? What's your "take" on kankelon hair ( chemicals) ? Should we stop using it or is there away make it safe to use...[using apple cider vinegar, will that help?]
Thank you .....excellent job. May you continue to be a blessing 💯🎯
Thank you 🦋😘
You're welcome! :-)
That I should apply my leave in while in the shower. Best advice cause I tried it out of the shower & you can DEFINITELY tell the difference
Using deep conditioner, grease and attaining maximum hydration
Best tip : ayurvedic practices to strengthening & establishing healthy hair. Washing hair weekly. Using rosemary & pumpkin seed oil in my regiment.
Thank you So much for your content. No fluff or fillers, options & you as share scientific information with product
Very useful video as always, will check into the hardness of my water
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Kitsch has an awesome filter
Thank you so much for these tips! I have to admit, there are two tips that changed my hair game. The first tip was moisture. Wash my hair more often! My scalp loves water, especially with the shower filter. The second tip that is life changing is scalp massages with Ayurvedic oils
Yes to all of that!!
@@CurlyChemistry for sure! I've been using ambuno to prepoo but since I fine, med-high porosity hair, I would like to try allow to prepoo. Do you suggest a brand or the actual plant? Do you have a vid on that?
Awesome video-as usual!! I really love the expertise and detail that ladies like you & GreenBeauty bring to the table. Like the stuff about how to use coconut oil properly and how not all oils are actually sealants, or understanding protein and moisture balance and the fact that water can basically help AND harm the hair in different ways.
As far as the most useful tip I've ever gotten…I think following your wash regimen for a while legitimately helped reduce the porosity of my hair after it had been stuck with high porosity ages and would dry out way too quickly. I think I actually need to get back to it, in fact! So I'll rate that as a very important Number 2, but I think my Number 1 would actually have to be detangling under running water. It could still be quite difficult, especially since I still needed to find the right conditioners to assist with the process, and a lot of stuff didn't have enough slip. Plus my skin is already very sensitive and tends to be allergic to most products it comes in contact with (I don't even use lotion at all on my face as a result-not even stuff specifically meant for facial use). BUT detangling in the shower was still such a gamechanger even with the issues. I would spend HOURS at a time to finger-detangle my hair out of the shower. It was so miserable and time-consuming…and I'd still end up with large sections that I'd somehow missed with how much density and volume I have, and when the knotting would be close to the roots I could end up with significant amounts of hair having to be cut.
And it was just such a vicious cycle because I would rarely have the time or energy for it, especially with having preexisting health conditions. And of course rarely being able to handle it just gave it all the more time and opportunity to tangle!
But my best friend (who has wildly different hair from myself, ironically enough) gave me the tip of detangling by using a brush and lots of conditioner in the shower, and that took the process from like 2 and 3 hours to 30 or 40 minutes. For some reason that hasn't been working as well for me more recently (it just occurred to me that maybe it's that I need to clarify so my hair can accept the water and products properly again), but it was still such a huge help. I was at the point where I didn't know what the heck I could do other than cutting my hair, and besides random smaller mishaps over the years, I already had to get a major unwanted haircut for my whole head years ago and am super averse to ever doing any major cutting again.
So yeah. I know it doesn't work well at all for some folks, and it can be tricky even for me, but soaking my hair down like that enabled me to actually get all the way through it-without it taking multiple hours-and if I used a firm enough brush with sufficiently long bristles where I could check and make sure I didn't still have those awful tangles near my roots. Maybe this should count as two separate tips, but I really can't do one without the other: I needed the right tools for detangling in the shower, too. Actually I'd say a comb (or comb-like device like the Felicia Leatherwood brush) or your fingers works the best for actually checking the roots, and then you use the brush for the actual detangling.
And I'm not someone who can detangle thoroughly with a wide-toothed comb like many can; those wide spaces just mean it misses most of the smaller knots and tangles, plus the teeth will be too large and blunt to actually get into them and help tease them apart.
By the way, I was gonna comment initially on how darned gorgeous your hair was looking, but Goddang, your skin is absolutely glowing over here, too!! 😂😃🥰👌💪
Thank you for sharing your tips. I've never been successful with a brush but then I don't shampoo in the shower either
@@sable7114 Ooh, I'm glad you mentioned the shampoo, actually. Since it tends to immediately increase friction and make my hair more tangly, I don't use the shampoo until after I do the detangling with conditioner, actually. And I try to keep it brief and just focus on applying it to my scalp and scrubbing that (gently), and just use the excess for the length of my hair. That's another tip I learned a while back: conditioner is mainly for the length of the hair while shampoo is mainly meant to clean the scalp, and you should only apply it fairly sparingly to the lengths of your hair. Obviously the amount needed does depend on how much buildup you have on your hair and how strong the shampoo is.
And like detangling with conditioner first is a good compromise where it does start to clean your hair some and remove some of the buildup that can exacerbate knotting, but also doesn't strip your hair as much as shampoo does, which for me makes knotting and catching much worse. So I detangle with conditioner, then shampoo once or twice, depending on what's needed, and then go back with conditioner again and make sure to let some stay behind.
I know some folks have success immediately adding leave in conditioner while still in the shower, too. Applying leave-in stuff while my hair is very wet is trickier for me since that tends to result in product traces dripping down my face as my hair dries, and my face is even more sensitive than the rest of my skin already is. 😭😭
Oh! And regarding brushes, I've definitely found it's a tricky balance since you need the bristles to be firm and closely enough spaced that they actually are able to grab the knots and detangle them rather than just bending _around_ them, but they also need to be soft and widely spaced enough that they don't just tear through my hair or actually snag onto hair that isn't even tangled. 😅😅
The Tangle Teezer I got (I believe it was either medium or coarse density; I might have better results with the one for fine hair, I'm suspecting) definitely does detangle but it has the unfortunate problem where it seems to catch on the actual curl pattern of my hair and snag hair that isn't truly knotted.
So far, the Unbrush has actually given me my best results so far; I find that if I'm careful and make sure to start from the very ends of my hair (I also will do some light finger detangling first) and use it in conjunction with the Enrichure detangling pre-poo, which has MAD slip, I tend to have very minimal hair loss and it also doesn't take me ages to get through. I forget the name, but the Unbrush is visibly similar to another couple of brushes and probably works about the same. One lady did a review of about five or six detangling brushes, including the Unbrush and those, so I'd say the other brands are probably going to serve you well, too, if you want to try them.
But hair is definitely very individual. A lot of times I'll see ladies very briskly pulling through their hair with stiffer combs and brushes and I know I'd be snapping the heeeck out of my hair if I tried that. 😭✋
Oh, and I use a plastic rake comb with nice, pointy teeth to do my roots check. They're super cheap on Amazon, like 3 or 4 dollars? The one I got isn't seamless, though, so you might not want to use that for actually detangling mostly. But those teeth are great at sliding next to my roots precisely without catching sections I'm not trying to bother.
Honestly, whether or not you get any brushes or combs, I'd still recommend the Enrichure. It's hard for me to find products that don't just promptly cake on my hair and get sticky and actually make the tangling and hair breakage worse soon, but the Enrichure is amazing. It also adds moisture to my hair really quickly, which is also key for minimizing the breakage as I start to manipulate it. And you can just lightly add water as you work if you're taking a while-or you can have your hair already damp-and the drying isn't a problem like it is with some other conditioners I've tried (this is when detangling outside the shower, I mean). It is meant to be rinsed out and will get flaky as a leave-in, but it's such a good product when used for detangling before a wash or rinse. ^^
Thanks for another informative video🥰. Could you please🙏 make a video about Henna and its benefits for our natural hair, specifically focused on the science of that herb?
And answer your question: the best hair advice I've received was incorporating 1 part glycerin to 8 parts of water and spray it to hydrate my hair before applying my leave-in conditioner, then oil.
Absolutely! I haven’t not a video on henna as of yet.
I’m curious what your recommendations would be for someone living in a very dry climate. Ever since I moved to Arizona, dryness has just be unavoidable! And I’ve heard that glycerin has an opposite effect in dry climates?? Like the air sucks all the moisture out of the hair. Definitely going to incorporate more aloe vera. Seems like it would be good for all the sun exposure my hair gets here too!
Oil rins best advice and mix olive oil with the conditioner
Can you recommend a good Aloe Vera Gel? Please answer thank you.
I would like to see your hair wash routine.😊
Pantene deep conditioner. The best
I color my root grays every 6 weeks...do i consider myself high porosity? Does it matter? Some say it does but I'll do what u recommend for me.
Pre-poos have changed the game for me… come to think of it, I guess I’m using the PMP method… ha! How cool is that!😅😂
Which videos can I find the breakdown of prepooing
Best tip Drink Water
That's the one!
Best LIFE hack!
I drink plenty of water
Nothing seems to work anymore
@@LiveLifeLove63water and vitamins (geritol), seal ends with Murray’s beeswax. Find out what vitamin you deficient in. Game changer
Hi! Super informative video. I have a question. When moisturizing between wash days, should oil/butter be applied on damp or nearly dry hair. Thanks and have a great weekend!
Hey! Ideally after your water based moisturizer.
@@CurlyChemistry Thanks. Haven't had the results I've been expecting but I am still learning!
@CurlyChemistry brands of water based moisturizers pleasr.
For the hard water will an apple cider vinegar and water spritz work? Or an apple cider vinegar rinse?
Glycerin game changer
Facts!
Yyyaaaaaaasssssss
so put just glycerin on hair?
No. I mix it with water
@@ingredclare4618do you apply to just the scalp or spray on hair?
Any tips for a 2 year old hair?
Do these also apply to toddlers?
To all those who said drink water.....I'm with you. I add the outside to that as well
Pre poo and wear satin hair bonnet or satin pillowcase
I would love to know the science behind using apple cider vinegar to remove buildup from synthetic hair. IM on a non-toxic journey and I make contact about hair and I would love to get back into l synthetic wigs without worrying about the toxic chemicals that they use could you be of any help?
Best advice, hair porosity
Yes!!
PMP method!
Ayeee! 🥰💁🏾♀️
Thank you, can’t wait to try these tips. Regarding the aloe you mentioned, would that be Aloe from my garden or purchased, filtered Aloe??
Both are fine! Aloe from the garden or local grocery story are both great options.
@@CurlyChemistry thanks so much
I have dry ends,it's crispy. What your suggestion
I hate the taste of ritual supplements. Any recommendations for something different?
Hey! Check out my Amazon store for other recommendations. ☺️
Thx. Aloe Vera much more. My tip is a wooden comb.
Interesting! I just got a wooden comb. ☺️
@@CurlyChemistry yay. I love mine. Now you can show the people why I love mine. Hehehe
I’ve only been using one a week and can already tell that I have less breakage when combing. I mainly wear my hair blown out
I'm old. You talk to fast for me to receive all the wonderful information you give.
Can one use okro as a prepoo instead of aloe vera if i cant get it
The only way to answer that question is by trying it. Everyone's hair is different. What works for her, may not work for you.
Yesssss my son has 4C hair😭😭😭😭
My hair is so soft and fine. Please tell me how to thicken it.
Weekly I apply coconut, castor, batana and rosemary oils overnight.
It could be hormonal, as we age our hair changes and can become thin. You can take hair vitamins to help, but if it's more internal then I would focus on an anti-inflammatory diet, natural balancing of the hormones, and avoiding heat, color services, and create a hair care regimen that you can stick with. If you want to talk more about where I can create this plan for you, definitely sign up for one-on-one hair care coaching with me. Here's the link: curlychemistry.com/product/custom-hair-care-regimen-consultation-zoom-video-call/
Hello plz someone answer
Is there anyone for Me to soften my hair from 4C to 4A or 3? Plz
No, you can’t change your hair type without chemicals. You just have to learn which products work on your hair to make it as manageable as possible.
@@kj7045 aren't there any product to make it softer?
Do you have specific advice for hair of 10-year-old girl, I don't want to give her expensive drugs that don't work. Her hair is brittle and even dandruff appears 🙈, where am I making a mistake. I will say that I am learning about her hair type (her father is African), mine is straight (Europe).
THANK YOU...🤗
For dry scalp/dandruff aloe Vera juice or gel will be amazing for her! I would also do deep conditioning 2-3 a month for her as well to help increase the hydration within her hair. Also be sure to moisturize her hair at least 2-4 times a week. Detangle gently with a wide tooth comb, starting from the ends and work your way up. Also let her know that her hair is beautiful!! Young kids need to hear that early on. 🥰
I had dandruff and dry hair. I tried so many products, and nothing worked. Then i realized that i needed to focus on my scalp first. I bought some Nizoral shampoo and followed that with a fragrance free moisturizing shampoo and a deep conditioner. Try to keep everything else away from your scalp except the Nizoral shampoo. It took about two months, but my hair was moisturized and healthy looking, and my scalp was back to normal. I learned that i can't do anything with fragrance on my scalp.
Pree-poo 🗣GAMECHANGER
Yesss!
QUESTION: My shower head states that is water sense certified....is ths a filter?
Is Aloe gel from a bottle the same as the fresh plant?
Best tip - regularly trim your ends.
Which aloe vera gel are most using? There's so many on Amazon 😵💫
I use African Pride. It has aloe.
@@trem5174SAME!! African Pride prepoo changed everything for me in terms is pre poo. I used to use oil but now it’s all African pride. It sucks bc I try not to be dependent on commercial hair products bc they are always discounting or changing the formulations and not always for the better. But the AF pre pop is just that good 🎉
I wish your videos weren't sped up. It makes your voice sound a little robotic:/
