Hey LaToya!🥰 I hope that you're having a fabulous time in LA! As a fellow medicated shampoo user, one thing that helps me really focus it on the scalp is to use an applicator bottle with an angled tip. I only put the amount of shampoo into the applicator bottle that I need to use for a single wash each time that I use it (as opposed to dumping the entire bottle of shampoo into the applicator bottle). I add a tiny bit of warm water and gently shake it to make it easier to apply directly from the applicator to my scalp.
LaToya love all of your videos, very helpful!!! What I love most is that you explain that what works for you may not work for someone else, but you provide examples and explanations, so that we can create our own natural hair regiments. Keep doing what you do and I will keep watching:).
Thank you so much Chelsea! That’s EXACTLY what I aim to do. No one hair routine is one size fits all. Even I switch things up from time to time. Thanks for noticing 😊
I've had a stylist tell me steaming isn't good because it can cause heat damage over time. Another told me it was fine to do and that stylists have steamers in the salon, which I already knew. Personally, I err on the side of caution and don't do steam treatments. Mostly pure laziness kept me from even buying a steamer because I didn't want an extra step in my routine. Looks like the next style is twists, but I'll wait and see.💜
I’ve never heard of that before - steaming can cause heat damage over time….At this point we can’t do anything without causing damage lol! Truth is, everything causes a little bit of damage. I steam my hair once in a while and I love the way it makes my hair feel. At some point I let go of the rules. I just want to be happy and not make my hair the center of my life. 😌
@@LaToyaEbonyHair So true! I can deal with a bit of mechanical damage, but I don't want to deal with heat damage. My hair isn't very fussy. As long as I shampoo, condition, and detangle every 5days or so it's happy and gives me no problems. lol
I love the TPH cowash and scalp cleanser for when I have braids but I got so many more products I want to try before I will try other TPH products. I am always excited to see myself in the beginning.
Hehe! I love featuring you girl. You’re always supporting and sharing what you bought. I know what you mean. I have a decent amount of products myself and it’s sometimes challenging because I don’t want to keep buying new things when I have so much. I like to take my time as well. ☺️
Do you know if you have high or low porosity hair? Usually masks with heavy butters are not a good choice for low porosity hair. But that may not be your case.
I love the steps you took to take care of your hair and scalp and I cannot wait to see how you do this protective style it looks great. 😍🫶🏾🥰. Yes I love the week in my hair videos 🤩
Thank you! I wish I didn’t have to shampoo with two different conditioners when I have a flare up, but I’ve gotta do what I’ve got to do. I love the WIMH videos too! More to come.
Hi! Just curious... Since you're only using your Nizoral for the scalp, have you ever considered or tried putting it in an applicator bottle so that it can better target the scalp?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do it on Thursday!! I'm washing my hair this Friday to start a new job on Monday and it looks so cute!! I can't wait!! And you REALLY gotta get that Kazmaleje paddle comb--it's MAGIC!
Hey gal. I have that steamer, which when I bought it umpteen years ago they somehow only charged me $25. Still have it and use occasionally. Curious: have you used any Mielle products? My hair has taken to them wonderfully and I legit haven't had to actually detangle in a couple months. My hair is the most manageable it's been over a week since I chopped in 2012. Just hoping I don't get hooked and then face formula changes. lol I know I mentioned NaturAll some time ago, but I think my hair got over what I found good about it.
There has been a lot of talk on tik tok of ppl relaxing their hair because they claim to be tired. Many persons have blamed natural hair influences for leading ppl to believe that wash day requires hours of detangling and using tens of products although experts say that a simple process is workable. Do you feel that you may be seen as part of the community that has been perceived to have misled black naturals?
Great question. I can’t control a person’s perception, but I don’t believe I have. I’ve shared my experiences from my big chop in 2010 and how my hair journey has progressed. Some Wash days are simple and others more experimental with multiple steps. However I’ve always tried to let everyone know WHY I’m doing what I’m doing and which steps are optional. So ultimately no I don’t think I’m being perceived as misleading naturals. I try to keep things super simple.
Just to add another perspective. I maybe spend 3 hour wash day every 10-14 days compared to looser or straight textures who may have to do a wash day maybe twice or more times a week spending 1-2hrs each time? I’d rather take the time and do my hair wash routine biweekly especially if I wear braids or crochet hair styles then can go longer by just keeping maintaining scalp care & minus the relaxer chemicals. Idk do the math but estimate minimal 3hrs vs 6hrs biweekly depending on texture and routine?
Got to love how some people or those disappointed at how their natural hair came out, always blame the natural hair community for everything under the sun. Maybe people should start looking at themselves and stop following every trend /influencer blindly. If they don’t want to have extra steps in their routines they can . No one is in their bathrooms’ checking. People have to do the work for themselves and sift through the good from the bad tips and information especially when it’s relatively free. If they don’t want that then they need to pay for a service that’ll do the work for them. There are good and bad people on each side and just because stylists have a degree doesn’t mean everything they say is correct. Especially the one note type of stylists.
The longest part of my wash day is allowing my hair to dry. I keep it simple. I noticed that some natural hair influencers have too many steps. My hair is healthy and flourishing with a simple two hour routine.
I wash and condition my hair every 4 days so my hair doesn’t get tangled and I use 4 products. Including drying it takes 2hrs or less. No protective styles ever, no steaming no except from the shower, no deep conditioning only wash and goes.
Young Lady, your HAIR with the TWIST is bomb!! I showed my son and he was amazed with your beautiful hair❤❤

Looking forward to seeing how you get those gorgeous chunky twists. ❤️👍🌹😊
I’m hoping the video can go live Thursday, but I lost my voice! I can’t finish the voiceover 🤦🏾♀️
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Feel better soon 🌹

My favorite deep conditioner!
It’s one of my staple favorites!
I love the steps you took to take care of your hair and scalp and I cannot wait to see how you do this protective style it looks great. 😍🫶🏾🥰. Yes I love the week in my hair videos 🤩

How do you prevent your hair from going moldy with all this moisture?
Hi! Just curious... Since you're only using your Nizoral for the scalp, have you ever considered or tried putting it in an applicator bottle so that it can better target the scalp?
Yes! Someone else Jaír asked the same thing. I have applicator bottles, I just haven’t used them outside of protective hair styles. Good idea ☺️

@@LaToyaEbonyHair Oh, no!!! I'm so sorry!! Send me the script, I'll guest voiceover for you, LOL!! Feel better!

Wow! I haven’t tried Mielke’s products yet. I have soooo many products now. 😅 I’m trying to get through them all.

That would definitely keep your hair hydrated! I love that you’ve found something that works for you. 😊 I personally need more variety.
Unless you live in a Jungle...washing your hair every 4 days is Damaging. Not at all necessary. Rinse your hair every 4 days with maybe Balsam.
As the first to view like and comment please can you show me how to use nature's gentle touch monoi oil to grow my hair 😔😔
I don’t use growth oils to grow my hair. I just keep my scalp and hair cleansed and moisturized. Sorry hun!
@@LaToyaEbonyHair ok thanks 😊
How does it not hurt your scalp?? I’m sitting under mine now and it’s sooo hot on my scalp 😪
I have a lot of hair lol
Hey, fabulous 🍾 wash day 💋
Thank you Shante!!
Didn’t they say there’s toxic chemicals in Shea Moisture products that give Black women polycystic ovarian syndrome etc?
Help! The link for your head wrap does not work.
The link works. They just don’t sell yellow anymore.
