@@nusaibahibraheem8183 It depends on how you style/what products you use. I like to use styling products (mousse or certain gels) that foam up in my hair. That means I can air dry in less than an hour. My current go-to is Aussie
I have been washing my hair every Sunday and co rinsing my hair the remainder of the week following the Anthony Dickey method since 11/2023. Every benefit that you have mentioned I have found to be true. My hair accept water as soon as I step into the shower. I have become a big fan of fresh curls each day. Also, I have found that as my hair improves the need to load my hair up with styling products has decreased and I am saving money. The method is just a win win!
I have a recommendation- please be careful not to make the mistake I did. I washed my 4c hair daily & it thrived- achieved thick waist length hair. Recently, I had a major hair setback: lost half of my density & 4 inches. It was so subtle I didn’t notice until it had wreaked havoc on my strands. I had hard water. Please protect yourself from potential hard water damage- I’m researching now to rehabilitate my hair & still washing daily because it’s still worth it to me.
That’s what I do. I’m a straight natural and my hair is actually fine. It’s crazy. It’s been a month of this routine. Let’s see if it’s still ok after three months.
I’m surprised people are not fighting you over this. I’ve always had a hard time with “protective styles” bc I need to wash my hair regularly. After I shaved my head a couple of years ago, I loved how easy it was to wash every day. Now that it’s long, it’s more of an ordeal, but washing regularly is a MUST! You’re glowing, sis, so whatever you’re doing is obviously working!
Lady, I've been shampooing my scalp with my protective style ( braids) in since the 90s.....I grew up in the Caribbean....I could jump in the sea and have fun or I could be the girl stuck on the sand worrying about my hair......
I'm the weird one in the family too. Lol! I don't care. Half the things they do don't make sense and I got to be the one rescuing them. Ain't nobody rescuing me from my weird self. Lol!
You look amazing. I hope I don't sound super weird, but you look like you smell good. 😂 I have noticed that your curls are tighter and springier now than in earlier videos...really cute. ❤ I love washing my hair frequently. I find that my hair is the healthiest when I do this. Oh, and definitely easier than the "protective styling" approach for me. I find that when you do your hair often, there is less shedding and minimal tangling. I have been a frequent washer for years now, and I just love it this way. It’s fun to encounter others who do something similar.
Haha, not weird at all! Have you checked out my fragrance and hygiene playlist? Linked below: ruclips.net/p/PLD7Aj6c9WCANJBqkqM35IelwXsvXJPIGW&si=--JFlPZQoCPvUbZo Also, I love that this approach has works for you. The minimal shredding and tangling is such a big benefit for me too. Thanks for watching and sharing! 🫶🏾♥️
I have been washing my hair everyday for years. My hair is so thick and doesn't tanglelike it did before. I don't use a cleanser everyday. I use conditioner most days and a cleanser once a week.
I cowash my hair everyday and shampoo everyday 10 days ❤ My hair is supersoft and fluffy ! Would love to know more about how to wear short hair with confidence 😊
i wash mine every day because i’ve just never been able to maintain a wash and go after sleeping on it more than once. plus, my 2nd day hair never looks as good as the 1st. even after just one night, my hair gets super dry and frizzy lol.
@@EvieAswitimy hair reaches my tailbone (stretched) and i still can’t make it work. maybe it’s a skill issue for me but daily washing isn’t inconvenient so i’m not bothered to improve in that area haha. it also helps that my hair air drys quickly.
It’s funny, my brother and dad showered and washed their hair daily and both had beautiful hair. I wash my hair about every 3 days and it does make a difference in its hydration and no issues with tangles. I love it.
I've been washing daily for about a month now. So far I too really enjoy the immense level of clean that I get. It's so refreshing. I noticed that the color of my hair has changed. It's not ashy like it used to be. It's a much deeper black. I too saw a difference in hair fall and tangles. It's so much better. I don't prefer short hair anymore like I used to so im looking for some kinky straight units.
My hair needs hydration everyday! I live in the desert. There are days I Cowash every other day shampoo and condition. My hair loves a little hair “Grease” after applying a leave in so washing frequently is necessary. My hair thrives!
Washing everyday sounds insane to me ngl. But my hair is like 15 inches so that would be a lot of work imo and it’d take forever to dry. I’d hate to have a wet head all the time. But her hair is short so washing everyday prolly wouldn’t be annoying cus it’d dry pretty fast.
I'm perimenopausal and more active an sweaty than in my 20s best believe that my scalp is getting cleansed regularly! It lets me know real quick with the itching if I forget. Lol! I also swim.
@EvieAswiti yes- and with the right products it's the best thing ever in the hit summer months..I just let my hair air dry and keep rewetting throughout the day to stay cool
Im a silk press girly and I wash my hair every 6-7 days and before washing often my hair would dry out and break off. Now honey its the longest its ever been and does not ever get dry! If I wear my hair curly then I wash it DAILY. Hair thrives now ❤
I wash my hair at least twice a week or just once if I’m not up to it. I just love the fresh feeling of a wash. I have a lot of dandruff if I don’t wash it often so just to feel clean I wash my hair pretty often. I love taking baths and long showers so naturally I’m gonna do a full head to toe wash. I feel like our hair is like the grass that needs both water and sunlight to be healthy, I really don’t care for the myth of not washing your hair to help it grow unless you’re doing some type of oil pulling.
@@amberabracadabra Yesssss I love how my hair feels when it’s submerged in water. I also never understood the term “everything” shower. Like do people not clean everything, everytime they shower??? 😂
I’ve watched a few of your videos and you are hilarious, love your energy; and you’re super informative! Love it. Subscribed! I plan on trying this for my hair. Thanks for sharing!
You had me in tears with the bathtub sink 🤣. But this refreshing. As someone who used to wash my hair every 3-4 weeks now that i do it biweekly i notice a big difference. The goal is to eventually get to weekly but with my texture(4c) and mid length hair wash days are very long for me. Washing isnt bad its the styling part that takes hours. Once I learn to do wash n gos myself I think ill be able to do weekly washes for sure.
I love natural beauty and you have it. ❤I have been natural since 2015. And love it. New sub here because of your natural hair content. I love you’re promoting it to allow black woken to love their hair too.
I agree on the tangles. I've been washing twice a week and I thought it was my imagination that it was not as tangled in the back of my hair from a wash and go
I usually wash my hair every two weeks or every week depending on lifestyle, season and my mental health. My hair doesn't like to be stripped too often. If there's one thing I've learned growing up is my hair likes a lil dirt (jk) but no lie, my hair does best when I allow it some days to just be. My hair loves its natural oils. I still give it moisture but I've definitely found this to be the regimen that works for me and has grown my hair exponentially. Shampooing every day would make my hair so sad! It's so cool tho that's it's making yours feel so good! I've definitely been inspired tho to alter my washing schedule at least my summer schedule. I've been sweating more in this heat while gardening so I think I might try washing my hair 1-2x a week and maybe allowing a rinse/co-wash on necessary days. I think it helps that I have my hair in two strand twists (cuz it means I can wash my hair without retwist if needed). Thank you for trying out this experiment and sharing it with us! I understand the feeling of lots of rules in the natural hair community. I personally feel like people can have fun and try things, just be safe and informed. Ignorance is not bliss. Convenient styles are not protective styles if they cause damage and give you fibroids later in life. That's why I'm loving this journey. My hair is actually the healthiest it's ever been. It's thriving! And gurl you're thriving! You glow in every video ✨️💛
I love that you’re a gardener! Thank you so much. It’s been fun to be enlightened on this journey and to switch things up. Happy you’re trying out a different schedule for the summer, let us know how that goes! Appreciate you for watching and sharing. Thanks for the compliments! 🌸
New subscriber here. I wash my hair daily. My scalp feels so good when the water is hitting my scalp. If you have time can you share more of your journey, how short was your hair when you started. My hair is a little shorter than yours. Thanks for your great videos
Love this for you!! I got a big chop recently so I will try a regimen similar to this. I just learned about Anthony Dicken's Wash & Go method: to do a wash & go daily. So I may start to co-wash daily then shampoo & deep condition weekly. God bless
I've started the Anthony Dickey method recently by co-washing every day or every other day and shampooing once a week. I like having my curls reset so often, and my hair not feeling dry after 3 days.
Your hair is beautiful. Thank you so very much for sharing your journey! I read that us black women spend more on haircare products than any other race; men included. Maybe that is why we continue to be lied to? Anyway could you please tell me how the hot diffuser or low, or vice versa does not damage your hair daily? I ask because I prefer to wash my hair at night, but don't want to sleep with wet hair, or damage my hair with a hot hair dryer. 😥 May God continue to bless you and all of your efforts! 🙏🏾
I only washed my hair once a week but now I’ll try washing my hair daily and see how that goes. (I can’t keep my hands out my hair so maybe this will help hahaha)
There’s a RUclipsr I watch she washes her hair everyday and no surprise other black people trying to get on her for it,if isn’t uncommon for some black people to wash their hair everyday,with all the hair gels and constant hair styling some NEED to wash more frequently.
Honestly, I can't manage my 4b hair without washing it at least every second day. My hair knots so quickly. Can't understand how you can keep it for a week without washing. I also honestly find it a bit unhygienic and my head starts to itch. If I wash it every other day, it has enough moisture and is easy to comb.
@@EvieAswiti Any real proteins such as: keratin, silk amino, herbal remedies such as henna. You can purchase them yourself and add to conditioner or purchase products containing them high up in ingredients lists. There are also binders such as Olaplex,and Shea moisture but these are not true proteins although they *do* patch the hair, with addition of cones.. leaving it smooth instantaneously. Hope this clarifies.
@May-tai Henna is amazing. That's what I use. I also think keeping a product like Joico Moisture Recovery balm in rotation is smart. It gives so much moisture and softness but it also has hydrolyzed keratin. Joico is king of keratin protein.
A lot of my female friends tell me that they can only wash their hair once a month because if they do anymore than that their hair can get dry & damaged. As you can see your living proof washing your hair everyday actually gets your hair & scalp healthier. My question to you is does washing your hair everyday make it harder to retain length?
I have watched and listened to Anthony Dickey for years. He promotes daily co washing and shampoo once a week for tight kinky coils. What encouraged you to wash daily?
I love your videos & your hair looks cute & healthy. My only question is, how do you dry your hair? I would think the hooded dryer or diffuser would cause dry, stiff hair. Please advise. Thanks!
I just _literally_ got out of a argument/debate with a professional who is very dogmatic about *not* doing wash n go's and " *not* doing twists....smh She has much good tips but wayyyyy to strict unecessarily.
I have to wash my hair every day if I go swimming. Chlorine and salt are not things to remain in my hair. I'm not swimming at the moment as I've changed up my routine. Usually, I have no problems hoping in the shower multiple times a week with a co-wash, swimmer shampoo or a sulfate-free shampoo. I don't use the sulfate every day because that definitely dries my hair and sensitive scalp out. My trichologists didn't recommend that for my scalp so I'm not doing that. Otherwise, I am not one of those black women who run from water. Lol! I could never be a straight-hair natural. Lol! I like swimming too much. Lol!
@@EvieAswiti I like to tell people that my hair was designed for the heat and daily swimming in the mighty African Rivers of the Nile, the Niger, the Zambezi, the Congo and the Limpopo. 😅🤣😂🙈I cannot imagine my ancestors running from water. Water is life. 😁
Also do you find you’re hair is retaining length without the protective styles? I hate protective styles I’m currently wearing only the ones with my natural hair, I’d love to go with my hair out fully but im worried about length retention since im at twa stage xx feel free to make a video about it if that’s better but I’d love your opinion! Xx
@Zowgie My hair is growing out pretty well. I can’t complain about the length retention, in fact I think since my hair is exposed to sunlight, water and my diet is good, there’s a less chance of it breaking off due to dryness, other stressors etc. I think I’ll do a video about length in the future, it might make sense when my hair is straightened so y’all can see it.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do with your hair if it gets matted? I’ve started washing everyday but my hair becomes matted after drying no matter how much I detangle. I have THICK hair. This is my first time wearing natural hair since actually caring for my hair so I’m not used to it having any length (it’s shoulder length stretched at the longest parts.) At this point I’m thinking about cutting it or only wearing my hair in cornrows.
@@christinavmillsI use the Carols Daughter Goddess Strength shampoo, conditioner, and leave in every time I wash my hair. It always looks awesome until it dries. It’s almost like my hair wants to loc up.
@@twcrazy Yeah… I actually wore locs for some time for literally that reason before I shaved my head and started over. It really does takes a lot of effort to keep hair loose as it gets longer
Girl, it's 5 months! Do any of y'all know the average rate of hair growth? Some of y'all act like hair is supposed to shoot out of our heads at 5" a month.🤣 Anyway if you look at the videos she has with her hair straightened you can easily see the progress and it looks very healthy.
Yeah but 5 months after you did not grow even a inch. It is not griw cause you are domaging your hair. It is gonna thinning your hair out as crazy and kill it.
@@EvieAswiti I m talking sciences how you think you going to retain length if you put water everyday in your hair?? Why do you feel that you have to cut because of damages... Don't do that madame. Stop if you want good hair if you need your length to stay where It is just continue... You will remember this statement when 1 year after you have the same length or you have to cut splits ends or damage hair again...
Dry? Are you blind? And we aren't talking about what non naturals do. Some of them out here with stank greasy heads too. Keep walking around with them musty smelling wigs. We'll be over here smelling fresh. At this point it's about improving hygiene.

It’s the season of being open minded. Thank you for sharing and watching. ☺️

Maybe that is why we continue to be lied to? Anyway could you please tell me how the hot diffuser or low, or vice versa does not damage your hair daily? I ask because I prefer to wash my hair at night, but don't want to sleep with wet hair, or damage my hair with a hot hair dryer. 😥 May God continue to bless you and all of your efforts! 🙏🏾
Guarantee that's why the black hair myths are kept up. Even the "experts" are repeating them to us.
I only washed my hair once a week but now I’ll try washing my hair daily and see how that goes. (I can’t keep my hands out my hair so maybe this will help hahaha)
lol give it a try!
Thank you for the video advice I started to wash my hair more daily I notice my curly hair shed less more soft easy to comb through thanks again ❤😊
You're so welcome!
There’s a RUclipsr I watch she washes her hair everyday and no surprise other black people trying to get on her for it,if isn’t uncommon for some black people to wash their hair everyday,with all the hair gels and constant hair styling some NEED to wash more frequently.
Yep. I used to have a lot of forehead acne from edge control, gels, etc. Once I washed my hair more, no more bumps.
Who is it?
Skin looks amazing!! Happy it is working for you
Thanks so much hun!
I love washing my hair every two days, in the summer months yes every day wash is amazing. ❤❤❤ thank you for making this video.😊
You’re so very welcome 🤗
Honestly, I can't manage my 4b hair without washing it at least every second day. My hair knots so quickly. Can't understand how you can keep it for a week without washing. I also honestly find it a bit unhygienic and my head starts to itch. If I wash it every other day, it has enough moisture and is easy to comb.
I have done conditioning my hair daily for 10 years and clarify one a week. I’m 65 and now working on having shoulder length hair
You can do it!
Note! If you have fine damaged hair, you need a strengthening treatment to do this.
Which one do you recommend?
@@EvieAswiti Any real proteins such as: keratin, silk amino, herbal remedies such as henna.
You can purchase them yourself and add to conditioner or purchase products containing them high up in ingredients lists.
There are also binders such as Olaplex,and Shea moisture but these are not true proteins although they *do* patch the hair, with addition of cones.. leaving it smooth instantaneously.
Hope this clarifies.
@May-tai Henna is amazing. That's what I use. I also think keeping a product like Joico Moisture Recovery balm in rotation is smart. It gives so much moisture and softness but it also has hydrolyzed keratin. Joico is king of keratin protein.
Yay! This video is great queen, team shrinkage😊
thank you ☺️
Im two weeks now into washing my hair 4x a week and i like it. This is permanent now.
@@rolandorzabal1955 Congrats girlie! Proud of you for giving it a try and seeing benefits
You and your hair are beautiful.
Thank you so much ☺️
Please do a video on how to be confident with short hair.
Noted!
A lot of my female friends tell me that they can only wash their hair once a month because if they do anymore than that their hair can get dry & damaged. As you can see your living proof washing your hair everyday actually gets your hair & scalp healthier. My question to you is does washing your hair everyday make it harder to retain length?
My hair has been growing out pretty well so I think it promotes length retention
I have watched and listened to Anthony Dickey for years. He promotes daily co washing and shampoo once a week for tight kinky coils. What encouraged you to wash daily?
I wanted to see what would happen to my hair if I did what ppl told me I couldn’t. Been hooked ever since.
I just went from washing every 2 weeks to washing it weekly. I feel like my hair is thicker, and healthier. Maybe one day I'll wash it weekly
That’s amazing!
So if someone doesn't wash their hair every single day, they're not clean?
I’m not the only one! 😊
I love your videos & your hair looks cute & healthy. My only question is, how do you dry your hair? I would think the hooded dryer or diffuser would cause dry, stiff hair. Please advise. Thanks!
Thank you, love! I use a handheld dryer with a diffuser attached to it. Been working for me the whole time!
I just _literally_ got out of a argument/debate with a professional who is very dogmatic about *not* doing wash n go's and " *not* doing twists....smh
She has much good tips but wayyyyy to strict unecessarily.
well that’s no fun ☹️
cyn doll?
...wait. No wash and goes OR twists? So what are we supposed to do? 😂
Those are pretty much my go to styles, plus twist outs and braid outs.
Wait, what's wrong with twists??
@@randomchicaontheinternet9971probably lol.
i am going to try this because I have scalp problems that make my hair itch.
Sure give it a try for a week and report back!
Watch kinky hair chemistry, she has 4 videos that are very informative (heads up, video 3 is pretty long)
@@lunamufonYep I've been sharing her videos everywhere. She is the one who convinced me to start and stick with daily washing.
Love your curls! I also noticed my 4a hair feels better and curls better the more i rinse or wash...and yes....less tangles...it's just hair (;
Yessssss! You know what time it is!
I have to wash my hair every day if I go swimming. Chlorine and salt are not things to remain in my hair. I'm not swimming at the moment as I've changed up my routine. Usually, I have no problems hoping in the shower multiple times a week with a co-wash, swimmer shampoo or a sulfate-free shampoo. I don't use the sulfate every day because that definitely dries my hair and sensitive scalp out. My trichologists didn't recommend that for my scalp so I'm not doing that. Otherwise, I am not one of those black women who run from water. Lol! I could never be a straight-hair natural. Lol! I like swimming too much. Lol!
As a person who also enjoys swimming, I love this for us.
@@EvieAswiti I like to tell people that my hair was designed for the heat and daily swimming in the mighty African Rivers of the Nile, the Niger, the Zambezi, the Congo and the Limpopo. 😅🤣😂🙈I cannot imagine my ancestors running from water. Water is life. 😁
Do you use leave in conditioners/ styling products, or just shampoo and conditioner? I’m definitely gonna start washing my hair more frequently 🎉
I do! Here’s my video on products I use.
ruclips.net/video/fZYgOsOWXVw/видео.htmlsi=VS0-aaDo_E2VcJ-W
Can we see a wash day?
How do you dry it?
Let your hair get past midback I'm sure you will rethink daily washing
Give me a year and a half!
Some people don't mind putting the work in for the sake of hygiene honey.
I got told off because I told a black woman that she wash her hair more often! By the way, I'm black too!😂🤣
I don’t know why that’s so offensive?
Detangling my hair rn 😂😂😂😂😂 okay fineee
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Do you detangle with a brush?
What do you do with it at night ? Do you just put on a bonnet ?xx
Sometimes I do. I have a satin pillow case so a bonnet is optional.
Also do you find you’re hair is retaining length without the protective styles? I hate protective styles I’m currently wearing only the ones with my natural hair, I’d love to go with my hair out fully but im worried about length retention since im at twa stage xx feel free to make a video about it if that’s better but I’d love your opinion! Xx
@Zowgie My hair is growing out pretty well. I can’t complain about the length retention, in fact I think since my hair is exposed to sunlight, water and my diet is good, there’s a less chance of it breaking off due to dryness, other stressors etc.
I think I’ll do a video about length in the future, it might make sense when my hair is straightened so y’all can see it.
@@EvieAswiti makes so much sense! I think I’m going to try this out
@Zowgie Let us know how it goes! I’ll be waiting 🙇🏾♀️
Do you have any suggestions on what to do with your hair if it gets matted? I’ve started washing everyday but my hair becomes matted after drying no matter how much I detangle. I have THICK hair.
This is my first time wearing natural hair since actually caring for my hair so I’m not used to it having any length (it’s shoulder length stretched at the longest parts.) At this point I’m thinking about cutting it or only wearing my hair in cornrows.
Are you putting product in your hair? You might need a good leave in conditioner.
@@christinavmillsI use the Carols Daughter Goddess Strength shampoo, conditioner, and leave in every time I wash my hair. It always looks awesome until it dries. It’s almost like my hair wants to loc up.
@@twcrazy Yeah… I actually wore locs for some time for literally that reason before I shaved my head and started over. It really does takes a lot of effort to keep hair loose as it gets longer
So I really recommend putting some sort of oil after your leave in conditioner when washing. Have you tried that and it still matts?
@@EvieAswiti I haven’t tried oil. Do you have one you recommend trying?
Hello. What products do you use? Thanks for this vlog!
You’re welcome! here you go:

@@EvieAswiti thank you!
@TheChocBeauty you’re so welcome! appreciate you for watching
I see little to no hair growth in 5 months....even with Shrinkage, you should see some progress.
Okay. Thanks for watching!
Girl, it's 5 months! Do any of y'all know the average rate of hair growth? Some of y'all act like hair is supposed to shoot out of our heads at 5" a month.🤣 Anyway if you look at the videos she has with her hair straightened you can easily see the progress and it looks very healthy.
Yeah but 5 months after you did not grow even a inch. It is not griw cause you are domaging your hair. It is gonna thinning your hair out as crazy and kill it.
I’ve cut my hair 3 times this year. Not sure why you’re speaking ill will over me. Very weird and I rebuke it in Jesus name 🙏🏾
@@EvieAswiti I m talking sciences how you think you going to retain length if you put water everyday in your hair?? Why do you feel that you have to cut because of damages... Don't do that madame. Stop if you want good hair if you need your length to stay where It is just continue... You will remember this statement when 1 year after you have the same length or you have to cut splits ends or damage hair again...
@rhunieangella5424 Yeah no. Next caller.
even non naturals don't wash every day. but it's your hair. it does look a little dry but if you like it do it
@@Lordsesshomaru2019 your passive aggressiveness is funny lol. but yes, I shall continue.
@@EvieAswitiso glad you addressed this. Hopefully she'll get the healing she needs,but until then she needs to be snarky to who hurt her.
Her hair looks super soft, don’t do that.
@@southernmom9310 yeah I’m a human being who reads comments and occasionally responds to viewers who attempt to “read” me. It won’t work!
Dry? Are you blind? And we aren't talking about what non naturals do. Some of them out here with stank greasy heads too. Keep walking around with them musty smelling wigs. We'll be over here smelling fresh. At this point it's about improving hygiene.
