Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair.

Hi guys, how big is a quarter for those of us not in the US? (If anyone knows the UK equivalent, 10p?)
Yes, the size of a quarter is similar to the size of 10p and the size of the 50 euro coin
Quarter = 24.26 mm
10p = 24.50 mm
50 euro = 24.25
@@GreenBeauty thank you!
It's very depressing having low density and fine strands. Their aren't many natural on RUclips with my density so it's difficult because styling never turns out similar. I thought density was genetic, I've tried plenty of things to increase it and nothing works.
Candy Rockets Neki Cakes has fine, low density hair, maybe you could check out her channel if you haven’t already.
Jennifer Thornton thank you
@@CandymofoRockets I totally feel you. Almost all the natural girls have super thick hair. I follow nolyenapturally. She has low dense strands and is natural. She is one of the few on yt.
Lee Lee I'm considering making a RUclips because this is an issue that isn't talked about much and it's super sad
Tomy Alisha and Mona B are also youtubers with low density but cute styles and info.
Low density, high porosity, fine hair here 😩 I quickly learned that my hair was different from the natural RUclipsrs I learn from once my hair never came out the same way as their's lol. What's good is that I have a lot of hair so at times its full of volume but once I step in the shower all that volume goes away and I'm left with pretty but thin tiny curls and my head looks half bald 💀💀 issa struggle out here
Omg!! Same condition here! Did u find some solution to this??
Iron vitamins or vitamin D
My hair is medium density now
Omg my hair is the same too
My hair is medium to dense density but my strands are extremely fine. I became aware that there was a difference between the two when i got my hair straightened and the hair stylist said i had a lot of hair but when i looked in the mirror or put it in a ponytail, it didn't seem like that much to me. My parts are very thin in width yet my braids are medium in size. It really is a learning curve
It took a whole lifetime to discover my hair is fine - revolutionary knowledge because the size of individual hair strands affects EVERYTHING. Thanks to YT'ers like Green Beauty I finally get it. My hair was originally pretty dense - now just medium density - and people treated my hair in a heavy handed way because my hair can look very big. But it cooks down like cabbage or greens. Fine hair breaks more easily. Chemicals can kill fine hair faster than thicker hair strands. My braids and ponytails were always much smaller than one would expect. I wasted a lot of time watching other YT'ers who with big juicy twists and twist/braid outs. It's hard to talk to friends about fine hair because everyone seems to think the word "fine" refers to curl pattern, and they think I'm trying to claim a looser curl pattern. We have so any issues with curl pattern. Also see finallyamber's YT channel. She has fine hair, and there's a growing list of ladies with fine hair on YT now.
I think this is me as well (I’ve never gotten my hair straightened propa tho)
I thought I had the oppo, thick strands and low density) but I realise that I can do low heat stretching and my hair will be pretty straight but its still a ton of hair in the style.
How interesting ain’t it
layla nazzal ugh yes! I hate getting my hair straighten because my stylist is just too good lol. When my hair is in its natural state it’s so full and has lots of volume, but when she straightens it my hair looks so thin and flat after the curls fall the next day.
Same thing with me!!!
Yeah I think I’m the same bc when I got my hair straightened it was so flat & just going everywhere bc it was windy outside. I got heat damage so I had to cut my hair after. I like my hair I just know know now that straightening it probably isn’t my thing.
I am/was iron deficient, and my hair was falling out in clumps on wash day, and sooooo much throughout the week. So I recommend just double checking on your health in general because once I started taking my iron supplements regularly, and incorporating more iron rich foods, I noticed my hair stopped falling out so much
Same!!
Nice
Did your hair come back when they stopped falling out?
My hair seems extremely thick and dense when it’s in its curly natural state (you cannot see my scalp) but when I straighten it or even just twist it, I’m always surprised by how much the density decreases.
I know! I was so shocked when I got my hair straightened and saw how less dense my hair actually was
Yo me too soon as I get a silk press
“Say goodbye to my volume “
As always... your video was very enlighten. I wish I had your green thumb. I am working in it though. I bought an indoor plant for Christmas and I have not yet killed it😅😅😅
DiscoveringNatural 🤣
I am sorry but that’s not how it works..european hair is the most dense and asian hair is the most thickest. The test she did isn’t really accurate...
Thanks again for your beautiful contribution to our African community (whether American, latina, or overseas) the entire African diaspora appreciates you. On 06:42 I'd like to make a correction, it is the Khoisan peiple, I believe our Afrikaans brothers tried to separate the 2 to create division (as they did with our other 9 tribes) that is how they stole our land my sister. Mad love from Pretoria, South Africa.
Separating the Khoi-Khoi from the San I meant
@@naigh-naighwhy222 there are linguistic, cultural and genetic distinctions between the *Khoekhoe* speakers and Ju-ǂHoan and *Tuu* speakers.
Khoekhoe came later than the latter two, there was some mixing but there are distinctions in the people :-)
@Welcome's House true. I didn't want to come off as hateful
Naigh-naigh Why Thank you so much for that correction. I really appreciate it. I will pin your comment so it’s more visible.
@@naigh-naighwhy222 It's not hateful to deny the enemy as your brother but truthful because a true brother would never do what they did.
Thank you dear for featuring me in one of your videos. You are one of my best youtuber, because you educate and talk based on science and facts like I do. I always watch your videos and alove your work. Thank you for educating people on density. Hair is not always thick like we see on social media. But they are women like me with small density, and we are happy and beautiful as well. Thank you dear
Beautifully said! Your videos recently popped up on my feed, I see your videos are well made and your density is similar to mine. I'm gonna subscribe😊😊
My hair is dense but my individual hair strands are on the finer side ( I think.)
This is me😭😭
I’m the opposite i think my hair strands are quite thick but it seems like it’s not very dense :(((
@@devonfrank8902 hahah ur hair sucks
@@devonfrank8902 just a joke
Same
I have learned so much about my hair through this channel. I have created my own hair products and they have been far superior than any brand I could have bought because I know what my hair needs and when it needs it. My end are no longer dry feeling and I get so excited when I see a new video. Thank you for spreading your knowledge.
defeatingfibromyalgia someday yes !!!! I’m so happy to hear that. #TakeControl
Do you use any preservatives, cetyl alcohol, emulsifiers, etc?
If so could you help me understand how to use them
Natural hair is like therapy.
So true.
I went natural in 2012. I’ve had some growth but cut it off a year ago and jumped back into weave around 2015.
I feel the Lord is telling me to take a break from weave. Now I’m going through a phase of feeling super ugly with just my hair.
It’s been a harsh reality...therapeutic.
Your videos are much appreciated. I needed this.
Make it a goal to never go back to weaves. The are so, so many reasons to let go, starting with the fact that you should never feel ugly with your natural hair.
Set aside the money you'd spend on weaves and put it toward a good cause (like supplies for homeless people, motel rooms for the worst winter days, invest in a black business - anything except putting money in the pockets of people who look down on you for using their product).
God gave you clay - the only hair in the world that can be shaped into whatever you want. Embrace that. Detox and don't look back. 💝
Same!
I got so excited when you showed your garden! I'm currently starting my seeds (chia, cucumber, kale, green beans, etc.) and regrowing cuttings from the grocery store (bok choy, green onions, basil, mint, etc). It's freezing right now so to get my mind off of snow and ice I have a section in my home set up for my plants/herbs/flowers. Speaking of stress, it's therapeutic to grow your own food and flowers. Watching my seedlings grow and change is rewarding. I encourage everyone to try it!
I wish I had dense hair too 😭😭😭😭😭
Same sis 😭😩😩😩
Your hair is literally goals, sis. I just subscribed because I have low density and just trying to get past armpit length like you so I can flex this thin hair. Lol
I have probably the highest density on the natural hair spectrum which sounds like a dream, but because I have so much hair it's really hard for me to do certain hairstyles and detangling my hair can take forever.
I have medium density but my hair use to be on the dense side. Four or five cornrows on my head would literally touch each other and you couldn’t see my scalp. Now, my cornrows are slender and my ponytail is the size of a quarter.
Tips?
Thank you for this vid! My hair used to be as dense as yours. But I entered an extremely stressful part of my life and my hair was almost like the sparse example. Daily aloe spray, onion juice pre poo helped me get it back. Thank you so much for this channel!
Kade oh how often did you use the onion spray.
I use the onion juice only before I wash (Once a week or 2 weeks), the aloe moisturizing spray daily because I have porous hair, 2-3 times a day. *I forgot to add- I also used a base EO blend: Lavendar; rosemary; thyme; atlas cedarwood - 3drops each in 3T of oil every 2-3 days.
I’m glad to hear that you are better an on your way to recovery 😊
Onion juice prepoo is the truth!!! That plus rice water rinsed have been so helpful for reducing shedding and improving my hair health overall
@@ifeo.9774 Rice water rinse actually breaks my hair if I do it more then twice a month. But, yes that too is amazing if your hair tolerates it.
Love these videos!! I love how you include EVERYONE! Really really love this.
I love your channel so much, you hit the nail on the head at the same time making it relatable
I love love love this channel !
I’m so exited for upcoming videos. Density is my major problem. Especially in the front. It wasn’t always so. 😩 Edit That imagine with the gas masks on. Yikes! People still preach that those Keratin Brazilian blow outs are beneficial for your hair.
Beautiful! We are down three in the series. GREAT JOB green beauty. You are a LIFE GIVER to natural hair. I appreciate your channel and your research more than words can explain. THANK YOU.
I love you so much, I liked the video 15 seconds in. You made me smile. Self love seems to be the true neccessity to achieving beautiful natural hair lately and I'm glad you acknowledge and spread that fact in your video. A lot of people need to hear it. New sub
Thanks for another informative hair video Greenbeauty. I have learned so much from you that when people come to me about advice I send them straight to your videos.
Really like the videos. One comment I have is that saying "normal" on this particular scale is a bit stigmatizing. My thin, low density hair is normal to me because it's always been this way. I do like and appreciate the segments dedicated to celebrating hair densities like mine. They are just as beautiful because beauty is reflective of what's inside. Thanks again and I'm grateful for your contributions to the hair community.
True! Maybe average would be a better word?
You are just going out of your way to feel offended, you can see very well in this context normal is meant to mean something in the middle.
Btw l also have sparse natural hair
The SAN ppl are in Namibia 🇳🇦,South Africa and Botswana 🇧🇼 ,thanx for all the information for teaching me abt my natural hair. I am all about health and retaining length of my hair.
My depression caused my hair to break off and become less dense..it's a bit better but I feel my scalp a lot better than before
michalovesanime same :(
Your video is always so helpful and interesting, I noticed that most times short hair tends to look sparse unlike longer hair
I love love love this chanel because it is always packt full of good knowledge
Thank you so so much for that❤
Love your video’s. You give very informative information with amazing graphics! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks so much for all of the super informative videos! I had dense hair, but I have suffered traction alopecia in the crown of my head & in other places throughout...so I have a lot less density! But thank God I still have enough hair to cover the bladder spots! I've recently started onion juice recipe in hope's of regrowth! TFS! Happy Valentine's Day!💕💖💕
I keep saying it time and time again... your videos are fantastic! I feel like I’m losing my battle with my hair. So this is helpful for me to further understand my hair. (I have MS, have done relaxers, Brazilian blowouts, changes medications, you name it lol! A nightmare.)
Not giving up, just have to learn more. This video was such a relief to see! Many many thanks!
Take care & be well
Love this channel! So educational. And your voice is really soothing
Herbs and being stress free as much as possible are the biggest key factors! Of course being gentle and consistent as you stated. Thanks for this great, informative video! We've been practicing so much self-care and holistic healing. It's truly a lifestyle and mentality change and renewal to reap the benefits. - Shana
Love this channel
Thanks for all this great information.
You are a wealth of information! Thank you so much and Happy New Year!
Thank you for this vid can’t you do a full wash day vid and moisturizing method
This was beautifully put together thanks again 😊
I'm a 19 year old male with long Cherokee Indian like hair and I appreciate your videos. (Subscribed)
Thanks for all of the wonderful information you give. I have very sparse hair and I need to try some of these herbs 🌿 that you’re talking about. I also take medication.
I followed all your videos and tips the past one year.Thank you so much for your help ! My hair looks and feels so healthy right now 😊 When I started I had hair damage from stress and heat
This is an interesting video but it doesn't take the coarseness or fineness of the individual hair strands into account. Dense hair that is fine may not have a large ponytail. The way I determined that my fine hair was extremely dense is how hairstylists reacted to it. This is not a scientific test but it was accurate for me - lol. For example I got microbraids years ago and the braider said she could do them in 5 hours. It took her 11 hours to finish mine (she was heated). Some hairstylists would complain and huff and puff while doing my hair. Another braider straight up told me that she knows people who would be unapologetically rough with my hair because they think I have so much hair that it doesn't make a difference. The amount of time it takes to do your own hair is an indicator at well.
Lovelota yes! That was an excellent point lol I had similar experiences with hair stylist but my hair is both dense and coarse. I believe she made a video explaining the difference before. But I agree it’s probably not the best way to tell by the ponytail method. Although the visibility of the scalp is probably more reliable
@@jinx526 Haha. Thanks. I have had my feelings hurt too many times to count at the salon - lol. Yes you're right, the scalp method is better and the ponytail method is probably fine for people with coarse or even medium strands.
Coarse and dense - I am sure you have beautiful hair! Dense hair is a lot of work but definitely worth it in the end.
Lovelota :) thanks!
She'll probably touch on this in the next video about thickness. I too have fine hair that is quite dense. My ponytail circumfrence is slightly bigger than a quarter when my hair is in it's natural state, but slightly smaller than one when bone straight. The grade of your hair (fine, medium, coarse/thick) is a factor.
STORY OF MY LIFE.
everybody who looks at my hair , always complain how dense it is. However, when i was relaxed my hair didnt have that fullness like how it is in its natural state. Of course over the years it was damaged, but it was only when i went back natural i realized i have fine strands, and a few medium strands spread out. Some of the strands are baby fine, so when i conrow or mini twist my hair, i look bald😐
Great video! Your hair looks dense and very healthy! 👌🏾💖
i became allergic to synthetic hair and learned i had to do a vinegar rinse before i braid my hair
girl that’s crazy bc i just watched naptural85’s video on vinegar rinses and i’m doing one RIGHT NOW!
38ktgold I have to do the same thing or my head will be on fire.
SAME! I spray them down with ACV, I haven’t had my hair braided with extensions in nearly two years tho lol
38ktgold omg, my mom and me noticed i was having breakage while doing crochet, I should check this out.
I have been using oil infused with fenugreek to increase density--which really works by the way. Just put some fenugreek seeds in your chosen hair oil.
How's the progress?
Love the way you say See you on the next Video Thank You for posting
I am truly taken aback at the slide where the 2 women are wearing 'Industrial Masks' and you are discussing Chemicals!!! Never have I seen that in a 'Black Salon' when I used to get mine !!!!
Thanks for the video. Now I know why my once dense hair became sparse
Loosing weight can be a culprit too
Glad you mentioned rice water. I love it!😍
I love your video’s, where did get all this knowledge. I love how you present your Channel information, content is amazing.❤️
Very informative. Great video!!!
Thank you for this information!
That makes total sense! Even the water we wash our hair with is not like it used to be. Sad but true :(. I look forward to your video on this topic. Thank you for responding.
Your intelligence is inspiring!!
Pregnancy is another big influencer of density! Great video as per.
Not 3 months ago I had beautifully shiny, dense hair--moved to a city with HELLA chlorine in the municipal water, and after showering in it my hair went completely dull and began falling out in gobs and gobs 😢 It's so thin now!!! Scary AF!!!
(I honestly wouldn't attribute it to the stress of moving, I'm an expert mover and it went real easy)
Ur vedieos are very informative, and I'm learning so much from it. Thank you so much may God bless you.
Thanks 4 everything you do
Thank you so much for this in depth detail of hair type.. I always knew my hair is fine.. But didn't realise that there was more to it.. My hair is fine and dense.. And now it makes sense why it breaks so easily especially because I'm not gentle with detangling.. On wash day (when I'm in a rush and using small tooth combs😣) I'd have a lot of hair loss But i still have a head full of hair (I'd be crying on the inside) I never had issues with my hair growing or looking like it's thinning out, but after it reaches a certain length it doesn't get any longer (especially when I use to perm it) . So now I know fine hair needs to be handle with much much more care.
Great video. I am trying to thicken my hair. I use black castor oil. I am going to try organic rice water. Thanks for the tips. 🙏
As always thanks for sharing
God bless you
Very informative thanks hun 😘💕
Love this channel 👌💕💖
@Greenbeauty. I love the information you provide and I'd like to Thank you for the extensive research you do and share with us. QUESTION: I have been trying to find a way to create a shampoo with lots of slip for detangling, that does NOT lather up & does not strip my hair of moisture. I am starting a pool fitness class in a couple weeks and desired to create a non-lathering shampoo for those days to help restore my hair from the chlorine. Could you provide some pointers? I love the clay wash you created and I use that on my wash days. But as it is not mess-less and i will be washing my hair at the gym, I was hoping to find a better alternative. Additionally, it is not cost effective for me to wash my hair with clay that often especially as I have thick bra-length hair. Just looking for some advice. Not sure that it would be healthy to do a clay wash that often either. Appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you in advance!
So I have medium thickness high density hair.. This is very helpful to know. Thank you!
U are a lifesaver I watch so many of ur vids
You didn't mention aging. Most RUclipsrs I see in hair videos are young.
Does hair density naturally decrease with aging?
I would guess it would be hormonal, but would like to know if anything can be done at that point in life. Eating well, staying hydrated and lowering stress is a given. Other than these things is there any hope?
Gut health is very important for hair growth too
Aging is a factor. I think that genetics can cancel out thinning hair due to aging, but I could be wrong. My mom and my paternal grandmother both experienced their hair becoming extremely dense. My mom was in her late 40s and my Big Mama was in her 70s wondering how to handle her thick hair. I could barely get a finger through either one of their heads.
I’m post-menopausal and definitely experienced a decrease in my hair’s density. I have been using rice water rinses for months and noticed hair coming back in my thinned out areas. The thickness of your hair can give the appearance of increased density and rice water rinses definitely have helped my hair appear thicker. I do monthly henna gloss treatments as well. Henna coats the hair strands making them appear thicker. But henna changes the color of your hair slightly, so if you don’t want that, try cassia.
I did not mention anything about aging b/c sparse hair is not a symptom of aging. In today’s toxic ‘western’ world, it has become normalized thought that aging goes hand in hand with sickness and rapid deterioration. That is not true. This is a topic I’ve been thinking about lately. I want to post a videos on it and show you researched proof and examples of this. B/c our environment is sooo toxic (packaged processed foods, chemicals everywhere etc.) we have to eat Way Better than someone that lives in a natural environment. Better as in foods that are as alive as possible (just picked from the tree). And it’s a cumulative effect, meaning the longer you eat like that, the more you will age like you were supposed to. It’s really hard to completely reverse years of cellular damage when you are older. Well, let me stop rambling... I will definitely post a video on this
@@GreenBeauty deterioration*?
Gal im always happy whenever i see ur new vidou online anyway i have less dense hair bt im struggling to be haily dense by using herbs like henna cassia alovera powders wit oils
I love this channel... so informative
This was lovely thanks for sharing. It was lovely to see those South African faces..I am very familiar with them..lovely smiles
You ROCK!!! LOVE you! 🤟🏽✨👏🏽✨🙏🏽✨👏🏽
Your garden look great
Yeah, hashimotos definitely thinned my hair. Thanks for this video.
Wonderfull how you inform us about hair. Greetings from Amsterdam.
How did you come up with using the quarter as a comparative measure of hair density?
Thank you!
Omg this is my issue with my hair. I was just diagnosed with Hashimotos disease this month and have struggled with my hypothyroidism for awhile (2014) labs are normal but my body is not . It really has been acting up since we had our 3rd baby in January 2019. The struggle of auto immune disease is REAL NO MATTER HOW HEALTHY YOU EAT or what lifestyle changes you make .😢
Question! What are good herbs to use for dandruff and itching? Especially when hair is in braids.
@greenbeauty I've certainly switched to low maintenance routine hair care with my tresses. Before I was doing the most when I realized that my hair loves simplicity and a consistent hair regimen. One question, can the rice water be used only on the scalp as this is what I will be doing. I made the rice water put it in a spray bottle and just sprayed it on my scalp, since rice water has a high protein count I did not want to put it directly on my hair per se.
God bless you. Honestly. I was looking into this so much lately, and here you come with the facts!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Where on the ponytail should we measure, circumference of twist tie or less constricted hair below twist tie ? if below how far from twist tie 1 or 2 inches ?

Is it possible to have sparse hair when braided or twist and when I do the ponytail test my hair is significantly bigger than a quarter
MSM what do you think about it, for hair growth- your channel is a blessing Thank you
Hi I enjoyed the video but I cant find your hair thickness video u mentioned earlier
You should be paid for what you bring to us! I hope you are!
How do I do the quarter test, if my hair is really short?
Hi do you think that having long hair will also contribute to hair density lessening ? Thank you
The San tribe actually come from Namibia which is just above south africa but they are nomads and travel between the two countries but most groups do still stay in the southern areas of Namibia
Please make a video on how you care for your hair in box braids
My hair is medium dence but my indvidual hair strands are on the thinner side. I always have to go through my hair with a thin comb so i could get all the Knots out.
Does the quarter test work if i have wavy north african hair? Or is this only accurate for natural afro/very curly hair? Please i would lie to know
I havent watch yet. I wonder if she's gonna say healthy diet and exercise as a way to increase density. She's said it a million times in other videos and I never listen 😭😭 But my hair is so thin, I'll have to do whatever she says here. I trust nobody else with advice but her and NaturallyHigh ❤
I had high density hair mow it medium denisty ive been using onion juice for 2 months and it didnt regrow my hair from scalp it just grew it longer what do i do
Hiii green beauty this is avery great vedio
