Dropping gems as usual. You've really inspired me to start spreading the word. Recently had a convo with a lady about the differences between Indian and black hair care practices. She started talking bout how "Indian women oil their scalps regularly and their hair is still long n thick"...the usual blah blah 😑 😒 I responded by pointing out that when they oil their scalps, it's washed out hours later. They ain't leaving it in for no MONTH or more like some Team Natural folks, and they definitely ain't cowashing neither. The routines that I've seen involve warm oil being massaged into the scalp & ends, combed thru to detangle, then washed out hours later or next day. They stress the importance of keeping the hair & scalp clean, free of sweat n dust, and wash the hair twice a week in summer and once a week in cooler seasons. A few drops of oil is added post-wash but only to the ends. Sorry for the long post but I know if anybody can shed more light on this topic, it's definitely you. I'd love to see a video on this 😊
Exactly, they wash the oil out. Its not only their hair that needs detox, it their brains cells too. Because my God what dem nuh understand that the hair produces its own oil.
Very true! This is coming from someone with Indian relatives who had long hair to the ground. They do not do all this madness. It’s usually very simple oil and comb to detangle and wash immediately. Maybe a little oil after wash but nothing to sit in for days. They do not go months without washing as I have seen in the natural community. To me this is insane.
I have long thick relaxed hair and I have always been asked what grease do I use. The answer is none. Weekly shampooing and conditioning will keep your hair moisturized. Regular hot oil treatments are great but again are shampooed out not left in for extended days.
I've seen many women young and old literally going bald due to folliculits. I put them on a proper regimen and BOOM the hair "magically" appears. I don't believe in everyone oiling their hair because everyone does not need to. The only time I recommend it is when someone has actual inflammation/dealing with a fungal condition and I only recommend oils that are non comedogenic, cleansing, anti-fungal, and anti inflammatory to soothe the itch and calm the scalp. Women with textured hair automatically think they have to oils and grease their scalp it's like a religious practice, there is no actual method behind what they're doing. Great video.
On top of that. the constant smothering of the scalp and then not cleansing is tragic, and it makes the hairs grow in sparsely and fine in diameter. But they don't listen. Big momma and them been doing so they feel they must do it. Just like they feel like the silk press won't last if you not using a pressing comb
This is true for me when I put oil or any other homemade remedy my scalp is irritated. I’m so please to found you. So I stop the oils right away. And I used to do wash and go for many years, I just stopped it as well. My hair is dry but I brush and comb my hair . Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing for our community. Much appreciated.❤
Thank you Cyn- times a million. I’m proud to say my 6, 8 & 11 year old know what sebum is and can tell you about the importance of a clean scalp, etc. Science is science, thank you for being a real scholar and an unapologetic voice in these spaces!!!
For years I would straighten my clients hair with no oils. My clients would come back in a week and their hair would be oily without oil. Before 2010 I had a clientele of black women with long healthy hair because I told them not to use all these crazy oils and if they did use anything just use Jojoba which helps clear the follicles..Cyn you are my favorite! Keep up the good work. All this misinformation had me discouraged with my career choice. Thank you!
I’ve experienced myself first hand that when you try to tell black women to stop oiling and greasing their scalp they literally will argue you down and call you a liar and all these things. SMH. Like how can you argue with science? And it’s not just cosmetologists and doctors and scientists that are sick of this attitude, it’s literally everyone in other parts of life as well. When it comes to dating, when it comes to business. I hate to hear this but I can’t deny that black women are the most hard-headed people to speak to, to work with, etc. I’m sorry you’ve dealt with so much backlash just from telling people the truth. If it helps at all, I’ve learned my lesson and I’m going to stop working against my body
I can be honest and say that I needed this confirmation today. Thank you. If you’re the only one who hears me it’s enough for me. Your comment is an entire video topic. I wish more of us would just wake up it’s so sad if you let yourself think about it. Thank you so much for hearing me and thinking for yourself! Things are turning over, they are the worst before it gets better! I don’t think things can get worse than this.❤️
@@IamCynDoll please keep going. Some of us are hearing you and will never forget these gems you’ve taught. You really are making a difference. Thank you for everything Cyn 💐
Hello I have a question I stopped using grease on my scalp and everything but is it okay for me to put tea tree oil on my scalp at night for the demodex mites? 💀
Yes we produce sebum but due to coils in our hair the natural sebum/ oil doesn’t travel as far it needs to go thus the dryness in our hair. Oil is not bad if use as you should
@@IamCynDoll I see what you mean by “pick up comb “ which we all do but it’s not that simple with 4c hair compared to straight hair. Different curl pattern requires different treatments
I get why my face breaks out every time I use black Jamaican castor oil. Imagine what it can do to your scalp (which is skin as well). I get BJCO helps with hair growth but this video has opened my eyes
So I'm black man who used to have locs and just went along with everything until a combination of traction and hormones caught up with me, fast forward hair became thinner and as a result I cut my hair and couldn't leave oil in my hair if wanted to because it looked bad. The products that work for me are in fact oils, but I always wash them out and use scalp spray in addition to shampoo from the line. Its the only set of products that are directly for people with alopecia and the RUclipsr always shows receipts which made me give it a shot. Its not an over night fix. Your definitely right about products causing scalp inflammation, bacteria, fungus etc but I as a guy barely did much to my hair and its not up until I got sick and everything shifted for my hair at the same time. Its not much representation for guys trying to solve this issue cuz they don't care lol. I will say that doing herbal rinses and keeping my scalp clean has been a game changer overall in addition to the things I mentioned before.
I stopped using oils on my scalp about 4 months ago and I noticed my scalp doesn’t itch like it used to. It used to itch so bad. Now i just use avocado oil on my hair mostly my ends nothing goes on my scalp
@@IamCynDoll my hair was breaking from the roots and I couldn’t figure out why until I started watching your videos. All these miracle hair growth drops kaleidoscope hair drops , hairgrowthco I’m lucky I had Any hair left so thank you. I refer your videos to anyone who asks me about hair care
The more you don't hear, the more you will feel. I can not ould my scalp because it starts to each.so I do not oil my scalp ever. A trichologist told me to use stator oil on the scalp where its thinning. I was so surprised. And other was a black woman too which I thought she may know better having the same kind of hair like me.. I didn't listen. I have tried a lot of this however. When cyn say to keep the scalp clean and wash your damn hair my hair is growing and it's stop breaking especially using olaplex the correct way
I call myself trying that grease mix. I mixed natures blessings, wild growth oil, and castor oil ( I didn’t have that vitamin mix, sulfur 8, or that other stuff and I wasn’t going to purchase it). Put it on, the second day, my scalp felt tender in some places. As soon as I washed it out, instant relief. Cyn Doll is correct. I went back to just washing and conditioner. That’s it, that’s all. Hair even looks better.
That mix was viral for a second and then the hyped died back down lol. I tried a slightly different one with different oils and grease and not as many either. I naturally stopped using it as much because i just didn’t need it and now it’s sitting there.
Thanks for this video. I'm more confident in my hair maintenance as I no longer rely on products. My body is a self-functioning machine. My job is to feed it right, and treat it right and it all becomes so so easy.
I realized this year after being 2 years locd that, grease, oils, and homemade crap are not good for my scalp. My hair wasn't growing to its potential it wasn't healthy and my scalp was dry, inflamed and itchy. I kept slapping oils on my hair and homemade products, then I realized, this isn't working 😑 I stopped the oils and kitchen made hair remedies I've seen on YT. I learned the science of my hair and now I know how to properly Love and Care for my hair. I learned less is Best, I keep it simple, shampoo/conditioner, a leave in and I spray rose water on my hair when I style my Babies. Thank you for educating Us and please don't Stop!!!!
A question: if scalp oiling is harmful in any measure, for any hair type, then why is hair oiling (done properly), sometimes done on the scalp, a form of Ayurvedic hair care? Many Indian women who practice it have very long and lustrious hair. Is it because of their straight/wavy hair (so that sebum/oils descend faster from the hair shaft than with curly hair and so don't block the follicle as much)? Something else? I'm not asking this as a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely asking. Thank you.
It should only be used when mixed with essential oils in very very very small amounts to treat a infection, it carries the essential oil to the scalp. Your suppose to shampoo the oil off after treatment. Oils are for the hairshaft not the scalp it’s simple. Please watch the videos on my playlist above.
@@IamCynDoll I know that sometimes oil is used as a pre-poo by Indian women, it is used hot, massaged in and left from 30 mins to overnight and then shampooed. Infused herbs and essential oils are a bonus and treat more specific problems but oil(s) alone can be used. It is a conditioning treatment, but it also relaxes the brain and eyes (or im Ayurvedic terms, brings Kapha to these fatty Kapha organs aggravated by stressed Vata) and thus it's also used by bald men. But yes, as I can see the oil is always washed out afterwards.
I love watching your videos. And it's been extremely helpful. The question I do have is, if we do not oil our hair, how do we keep it from being so dry. I have thin hair with gray mixed in. This gray is extremely brittle and will break. So what do I do?
This video is and mind blowing i wish I've learn about this sooner then later down the road when gets worst thanks for keeping it real 💯. Will do a video on how to clean the scalp properly I still get a little bit of dandruff on the scalp?
My scalp was itching like crazy. Stopped oiling my scalp and bingo. No more itching, will only be using it on my mid and end. Only thing is that my roots are dry and frizzy but my muds and ends are soo smooth??
I produce a lot of sebum from my scalp so my hair gets greasy quick, but what about people who have a dry scalp or dry hair that their hair sucks up any oil that’s put on the scalp. What do you recommend for low sebum producers?
@@IamCynDoll My hair is salt and pepper in different areas on my head, we all know gray hair is more wired than other textures, it’s difficult to control at times what do you suggest?
It's TRUE I don't put greese and oils on my kids's scalp... Thy don't itchy it and I enjoy putting sulphur and oils on my scalp it itches me. It's true yo right
What can be used on locs? My daughter has locs but also dandruff. She shampoos and I use loc gel then under the dryer she goes. But she does use sulfur 8 and no oils. What can she use on her locs? Thanks for any info or feedback.
I now have a ponytail because of cyn,yall better listen and also research and pay attention to your hair & body! I STOPPED OILING MY SCALP LIKE THAT I USED GREASE/OIL FOR THE 1ST TIME LAST IN A YEAR,I ONLY USE OIL AND GREASE IF I NOTICE MY SCALP IS DRY! YOUR SCALP IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR REGIME FOR YOUR OLD HAIR.
@@IamCynDoll I agree. Even when I oil my scalp at least 4 times a week. I still shampoo my hair 2 to 3 times before using a moisturizing shampoo then deep condition. Which happens weekly. And I only put heat in my hair every 3 to 4 months. That's how my hair grew bra strap length in a year. I had a bob in the beginning of last year
New subbie here!! 💜 I had to subscribe after this video. Everything just made sooo much sense!! Also, ever since i was in middle school I've noticed that the hair on the right side of my head grows slower(way slower) than the left side. I always thought it was because I'm right handed and heavy handed. But now I'm starting to think its a scalp condition.😔
I use grease on my ends. Especially after I blow dry. Is that choking my ends? I keep my scalp clean and don’t put products on it. I’m just curious about putting grease on the hair shaft, bc I never grease Or oil my scalp. I believed that grease can seal the leave in after it’s dry and stretched. Is that something I need to unlearn?
I started the #30daydetox for curly girls in January. Gentle shampoo wash out conditioner, botanical gels and clarify when I feel I need it. My scalp and hair has never looked or felt better. No more burning and itching in my scalp no more fall out and breaking of my ends. And I even have these beautiful free flowing curls and I’m “type 4 hair girl. I have women asking me what’s in my hair. I tell them what’s not, GREASE. I’ve also realized Greese had been keeping my hair dry and frizzy. Cyn Doll is right. Stop self sabotaging yourselves ladies. Put the blue magic down. And use good products on your hair. Last bit of advise find a good stylist and listens to them. Good luck beauties 💕😊🥰
I shampoo, deep condition and use a styler gel or creme. I don’t use oils or grease but I could use more growth. I normally air dry but now using hair dryer more often. My hair don’t like a lot of products (no heavy head) but what am I doing wrong with growth lol. I have no color or heat damage, I cut my color out in 2021, it’s growing longer now after embracing my natural hair color. I do wash&go’s but I saw your videos saying that’s no good lol. Guess I gotta do twist outs 😅😂
So now I have to toss ALL of my hair grease and self made oil concoctions, and I have tons of it. I do use clove and rosemary water on my scalp and now have an understanding of it all. My hair has gotten thicker and longer to my surprise. I never imagined it would get thicker😍😍. Then my question is just can I put the grease and oil on the hair and ends, not in the scalp? Also why is it not good to co wash and or pre poo, please thanks!😁 ok I listened to the end lol and heard the explanation on co washing 😶 but now my question is what about hot oil treatments?
Thank you! Cyn what about if the oil say for hair growth to put in your scalp, hair and fir the skin. Can you put it in your scalp. Just Asking. I only use oil on the scalp one time every 2 months while in braids.
I just cut mine off and have a patch of thin hair on my scalp and always been using black castor oil,kaleidoscope,and mielle oil just to grow long and looking back on pics from a year ago my long hair was growing shorter on the top will that go normal later on?
Always use conditioner! Shampoo is acidic and needs to be balanced out by conditioner which is alkaline. Please stop following fads shampoo and condition with the same brand atleast every two weeks. Please keep it simple.
Not sure if you have a video on this but would love to know how you feel about The Ordinary Multi peptide hair serum…. Is that also too much on the scalp?
I legit just bought grease though😭. I'm trying to let my hair breath for a bit after a good few years of getting single and crochet twists back to back to back to back. Edges gone. I've gone four days with no grease on my hair and didn't even have a comb so I was just using clove water and finger detangling and calling it a day. I finally went to the store to get a conditioner grease and a comb...I guess I should return it?...😔
I used ACV many times in past month and it has thinned out my hair strands by a lot (male), unfortunately did not see your videos, did using ACV also impact the root or can I expect that new growth and new hair will not be affected and thinned anymore?
Hey Cyn, have you maybe had a video on this? Something related to (apple cider) vinegar or similar substances dissolving/thinning hair strands rather than helping hair? And how much it damages the follicle as well not only the strand
Do you know what a sore scalp is from? Specifically in the back/middle of hair? Also, the hair their is slightly more rough than the rest. I was thinking it's possibly scalp damage. No balding spots, no dandruff. It's been like this for over 10 years now. I dyed my hair around that time and used that old maxiglide flat iron with the pens and WEN cleansing conditioner. I eat pretty healthy, and I'm learning how to treat my hair differently with your teachings. I've been off oiling for a while now. I was oiling before shampoo, but I'm going to stop completely now.
I’ve gone through the playlist to see what can benefit me but I don’t have curly hair and I’m a not a black female. I’m a male that is struggling and I’m only 17. I use clove water everyday for 2 weeks now. I’m a 17 year old Asian male with straight hair and my hair can get oily. I’ve recently been doing putting Clove water onto my hair and then I just try to letting it airdry. Sorry about this but I have a lot of questions if you could take your time to read this. I’m very insecure about myself right now and I need someone else’s advice desperately and what to do. Q1. When I wait and try to let it be airdryed and when I wake up in the morning my hair has like a greasy feel and I could see my scalp more clearly. Is it because of the fact I’m air drying and should I towel dry or is it something else? Q2. As well as this when I put on moisturiser it makes my hair really greasy as my hair is quite oily. Do I have to use moisturiser as it’s making my hair look terrible. Q3. Is my hair when I wake up thin and looks greasy because I’ve sprayed too much clove water in my hair and should I spray lees? Q4. Am I able to sleep with my hair wet with Clove water? I’ve heard some say that it could cause breakage if you sleep with wet hair at night. Q5. Is it ok to use it everyday? I’ve seen peopel day you can use it everyday depending on how severe it could be. Q6. College is nearly starting for me so I was wondering am I able to apply this at night and wash it off in the morning? Q7. When it’s washday is it better to rinse it off or use a shampoo and conditioner to wash it off? Q8. As moisturiser makes my hair more oily/greasy would essential oils help or not? I was thinking of rosemary oily but it might add more grease to my hair. Q9. I use this around 11pm and I got to sleep around 12pm. Should I towel dry or air dry it when I’m gonna go to sleep? Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please read this as soon as possible I really need help. I need to know why my hair gets so greasy and I can see my scalp more clearly when I wake up in the morning and I’m really struggling my and I’m panicking. I’m losing so much confidence because of this and I feel so insecure about myself.
@@IamCynDoll I’ve heard that leave in condiment is bad for oily hair. Is it ok to wash hair everyday or is bad and would it lead to thinning? What shampoo, conditioner and leave in condiment would you recommend. My hair is thinning and I can see my scalp easily under light. As you said I’m 17 should I stop using clove water or should I continue? I’ve resorted to using clove water because I have been feeling so down and insecure as I can see my scalp clearly under light and it’s just embarrassing for myself.
You definitely have sebaceous glands all over your entire body. If oil isn’t coming from your scalp the follicle is blocked. Even dogs have oil coming from the follicle.
Let’s keep it real black women are know it alls they are hairdressers, estheticians, event planners , attorneys, influencers, interior decorators, etc rolled into 1 and they have never stepped foot inside a school. I am tired of my clients trying to tell me and they don’t do hair.
Lol its soo funny you say this and I literally just experienced this. Tried to tell a hairdress some of the tips my esthetician gave me because she is struggling with her skin and always has been. Why she tell me “i went to hair school and they teach us a little of everything i know what to do”. You’re still not skilled specifically in that area to know everything and then why are you still struggling with your skin till this day?
So you are saying that you put NOTHING ON YOUR SCALP? What about moisturizing the scalp? What it is that you use? I never heard of this before I use grease and I moisturize my scalp like every 2-3 days with conditioner and water
Read the comments, there are women who do it everyday. You’re very confused on hair hair. Did you watch the video? If the scalp is coated with sebum it doesn’t need moisture. Conditioner is water , wax and oil it doesn’t add moisture it blocks the follicles. Please go do some research your very confused and lost. That’s exactly what I’m saying, keep your scalp clean. Products are for the mid shaft to ends not scalp.
I know. Old habits die hard. Once you learn how your hair works, some products just become obsolete. I use fewer products now and invested in a great shampoo for my porosity type. Good luck!
Don't put anything on your scalp. It's like coating your skin with oil and grease and not wash it off for a whole week or one month! How will your body feel?

Put it on, the second day, my scalp felt tender in some places. As soon as I washed it out, instant relief. Cyn Doll is correct. I went back to just washing and conditioner. That’s it, that’s all. Hair even looks better.
That mix was viral for a second and then the hyped died back down lol. I tried a slightly different one with different oils and grease and not as many either. I naturally stopped using it as much because i just didn’t need it and now it’s sitting there.
@@Spokentruths725 😂 gotta get rid of it. I three mine away. My scalp burns every time I think about it.
Thanks for this video. I'm more confident in my hair maintenance as I no longer rely on products. My body is a self-functioning machine. My job is to feed it right, and treat it right and it all becomes so so easy.
Yesss!!!! You got it! You’re all you need!!!
My hair broke off when I was natural and relaxed! I have so many weak areas! I don’t know what to do at this point!
How do you wear your hair from wash day to wash day and what products did you use relaxed and natural. Don’t leave anything out including present day.
I realized this year after being 2 years locd that, grease, oils, and homemade crap are not good for my scalp. My hair wasn't growing to its potential it wasn't healthy and my scalp was dry, inflamed and itchy. I kept slapping oils on my hair and homemade products, then I realized, this isn't working 😑 I stopped the oils and kitchen made hair remedies I've seen on YT. I learned the science of my hair and now I know how to properly Love and Care for my hair. I learned less is Best, I keep it simple, shampoo/conditioner, a leave in and I spray rose water on my hair when I style my Babies. Thank you for educating Us and please don't Stop!!!!
Yes keep it simple! Thanks so much for sharing I’m not making this up. Less is more!
I have relaxed hair and it a requirement to greasing the scalp before relaxing hair, so should I still do that ?
The shampoo and the relaxer removes it from the follicle as you shampoo.
Okay thanks
Thanks for the time you take to care. If you were a sold out company depending on their money you couldn't say any of this information
Thanks for seeing my intentions. ❤️❤️❤️
A question: if scalp oiling is harmful in any measure, for any hair type, then why is hair oiling (done properly), sometimes done on the scalp, a form of Ayurvedic hair care? Many Indian women who practice it have very long and lustrious hair. Is it because of their straight/wavy hair (so that sebum/oils descend faster from the hair shaft than with curly hair and so don't block the follicle as much)? Something else? I'm not asking this as a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely asking. Thank you.
It should only be used when mixed with essential oils in very very very small amounts to treat a infection, it carries the essential oil to the scalp. Your suppose to shampoo the oil off after treatment. Oils are for the hairshaft not the scalp it’s simple. Please watch the videos on my playlist above.
@@IamCynDoll I know that sometimes oil is used as a pre-poo by Indian women, it is used hot, massaged in and left from 30 mins to overnight and then shampooed. Infused herbs and essential oils are a bonus and treat more specific problems but oil(s) alone can be used. It is a conditioning treatment, but it also relaxes the brain and eyes (or im Ayurvedic terms, brings Kapha to these fatty Kapha organs aggravated by stressed Vata) and thus it's also used by bald men. But yes, as I can see the oil is always washed out afterwards.
@@virginiamontaldo440 thanks for watching and engaging.
Thanks
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have locs and can't do scientific brushing.....what do I had to do then
Just keep your scalp clean.
You are the TRUTH! I have learned so much. Thank you for the info that you give for free and with love.
It’s my pleasure thanks for watching!
I love watching your videos. And it's been extremely helpful. The question I do have is, if we do not oil our hair, how do we keep it from being so dry. I have thin hair with gray mixed in. This gray is extremely brittle and will break. So what do I do?
The best oil/wax for fast hair growth and length retention! @IamCynDoll

This video is and mind blowing i wish I've learn about this sooner then later down the road when gets worst thanks for keeping it real 💯. Will do a video on how to clean the scalp properly I still get a little bit of dandruff on the scalp?
Check my last video.
@@IamCynDoll which video is it?
My scalp was itching like crazy. Stopped oiling my scalp and bingo. No more itching, will only be using it on my mid and end. Only thing is that my roots are dry and frizzy but my muds and ends are soo smooth??
Unblock the follicle and the sebum will come out to moisturizer the scalp. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I produce a lot of sebum from my scalp so my hair gets greasy quick, but what about people who have a dry scalp or dry hair that their hair sucks up any oil that’s put on the scalp. What do you recommend for low sebum producers?
Video coming soon stay tuned.
Cyn, what about Jamaican Castor Oil? Can you just place it on your hair ends instead of your scalp?
If you want but it serves no purpose.
@@IamCynDoll My hair is salt and pepper in different areas on my head, we all know gray hair is more wired than other textures, it’s difficult to control at times what do you suggest?
@@cleopatrabonz she said that jojoba oil is better applied to the ends. I read that somewhere here in the comments
It's TRUE I don't put greese and oils on my kids's scalp... Thy don't itchy it and I enjoy putting sulphur and oils on my scalp it itches me. It's true yo right
Very informative. Loved it!
Thanks so much for watching!
What can be used on locs? My daughter has locs but also dandruff. She shampoos and I use loc gel then under the dryer she goes. But she does use sulfur 8 and no oils. What can she use on her locs? Thanks for any info or feedback.
Video coming soon.
I love it here❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos I have a question does oiling the ends of your hair have the same outcome ?
No.❤️❤️❤️
I now have a ponytail because of cyn,yall better listen and also research and pay attention to your hair & body! I STOPPED OILING MY SCALP LIKE THAT I USED GREASE/OIL FOR THE 1ST TIME LAST IN A YEAR,I ONLY USE OIL AND GREASE IF I NOTICE MY SCALP IS DRY! YOUR SCALP IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR REGIME FOR YOUR OLD HAIR.
Is ambunu good for cleansing the scalp instead of shampoo?
No please just use shampoo.
Thanks for your response..I was prescribed clobetasol and I use on my scalp but idk if it’s helping or not
Cyn I thought the use of comedogenic oil level 0 was okay, especially if you shampoo? Confused.
Video coming soon. You still only use it when you need it to cure something video coming soon.
You’re on point.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
How do you get you sebum oil through your locks
The oil is microscopic it doesn’t need your help.
Facts. Oiling the scalp every single day and cowashing is unhealthy. It can and will cause damage to the scalp and hair loss.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️
@@IamCynDoll healthy hair starts from the scalp sis. I been saying this for years.
@@hairbytrea yes, it’s so simple. We make it hard.
@@IamCynDoll I agree. Even when I oil my scalp at least 4 times a week. I still shampoo my hair 2 to 3 times before using a moisturizing shampoo then deep condition. Which happens weekly. And I only put heat in my hair every 3 to 4 months. That's how my hair grew bra strap length in a year. I had a bob in the beginning of last year
Thank You!
Thank you for this information. Any advice on hair dyes? Like options that won't cause hair/scalp problems?
Go to a professional or make sure you base the scalp properly.
I didn’t see a hairbrush in your Amazon list, an you recommended a hair brush?
You didn’t look through every list.❤️
New subbie here!! 💜 I had to subscribe after this video. Everything just made sooo much sense!! Also, ever since i was in middle school I've noticed that the hair on the right side of my head grows slower(way slower) than the left side. I always thought it was because I'm right handed and heavy handed. But now I'm starting to think its a scalp condition.😔
Welcome to the family! Let me know if you have any request.
How can I get a cancer patient hair to grow back?
You have to reset the
hair growth cycle.
@@IamCynDoll How do you reset the growth cycle?
Your information make sense. If your hair is dry can you use myrrh and frankincense on the hair only?
If your hair is dry your sebum is low. Increase your natural oil.
@@IamCynDoll you said use natural oils. Can you give an example of natural oils. I did the porasity test and mine is low porasity
@@sabrinamoffitt2805 natural oil, meaning sebum
I use grease on my ends. Especially after I blow dry. Is that choking my ends? I keep my scalp clean and don’t put products on it. I’m just curious about putting grease on the hair shaft, bc I never grease Or oil my scalp. I believed that grease can seal the leave in after it’s dry and stretched. Is that something I need to unlearn?
I started the #30daydetox for curly girls in January. Gentle shampoo wash out conditioner, botanical gels and clarify when I feel I need it. My scalp and hair has never looked or felt better. No more burning and itching in my scalp no more fall out and breaking of my ends. And I even have these beautiful free flowing curls and I’m “type 4 hair girl. I have women asking me what’s in my hair. I tell them what’s not, GREASE. I’ve also realized Greese had been keeping my hair dry and frizzy. Cyn Doll is right. Stop self sabotaging yourselves ladies. Put the blue magic down. And use good products on your hair. Last bit of advise find a good stylist and listens to them. Good luck beauties 💕😊🥰
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Say it louder for the people in the back!
I shampoo, deep condition and use a styler gel or creme. I don’t use oils or grease but I could use more growth. I normally air dry but now using hair dryer more often. My hair don’t like a lot of products (no heavy head) but what am I doing wrong with growth lol. I have no color or heat damage, I cut my color out in 2021, it’s growing longer now after embracing my natural hair color. I do wash&go’s but I saw your videos saying that’s no good lol. Guess I gotta do twist outs 😅😂
Girlllllllllll you be on it with the videos everything I be ready to ask you about I look and you have done a video on it. Thank you so much baby 💛💛💛💛
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for watching!❤️❤️❤️
So now I have to toss ALL of my hair grease and self made oil concoctions, and I have tons of it. I do use clove and rosemary water on my scalp and now have an understanding of it all. My hair has gotten thicker and longer to my surprise. I never imagined it would get thicker😍😍. Then my question is just can I put the grease and oil on the hair and ends, not in the scalp? Also why is it not good to co wash and or pre poo, please thanks!😁 ok I listened to the end lol and heard the explanation on co washing 😶 but now my question is what about hot oil treatments?
Hi I’m a 33 year old male what is the best recipe I can use to regrow baldness and possibly dead follicles
You have to first find out what’s killing the hair follicle and fix that.
@@IamCynDoll I think I need to get test done, I feel I tried everything even shots, only little growth
How is your diet?
Thank you! Cyn what about if the oil say for hair growth to put in your scalp, hair and fir the skin. Can you put it in your scalp. Just Asking. I only use oil on the scalp one time every 2 months while in braids.
I don’t use oil on the scalp unless I’m treating a condition and washing it out.
@@IamCynDoll Thank you so much!!
@@binam7324 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY PEOPLE SAID THE HAIR WAS DEAD, LOL. THAT NEVER MADE ANY SENSE TO ME
So no hair growth oil?
Watch my new video. ruclips.net/video/oAK7uE_Z48Y/видео.html
Only use scalp oil if your trying to cure a scalp infection.
I have a sore crown and scalp tenderness. Any thoughts on that?
You have a scalp infection. Detox the scalp try OLAPLEX 4c.
Thank you for your reply, this has been happening off and on for years. I will definitely try it!
@@sonceriamclennan8632 if it doesn’t work book with a dermatologist and trust their judgment.
I had no idea oil comes out you hair!😅 So this whole time hair growth oil is a lie?
I just cut mine off and have a patch of thin hair on my scalp and always been using black castor oil,kaleidoscope,and mielle oil just to grow long and looking back on pics from a year ago my long hair was growing shorter on the top will that go normal later on?
I would need to know more about you to answer that. Feel free to book a consultation www.cynsmith.guru
My scalp can't take no type of oil
I am sorry, its off topic but...., did u say most people have 4 fingers and two thumbs???? Is it really true?
What should someone who deals with dry itchy scalp do to treat it?
First you need to find the cause then you can cure it.
How often should I be shampooing my hair? Also, should I only use shampoo and never use conditioners?
Always use conditioner! Shampoo is acidic and needs to be balanced out by conditioner which is alkaline. Please stop following fads shampoo and condition with the same brand atleast every two weeks. Please keep it simple.
Not sure if you have a video on this but would love to know how you feel about The Ordinary Multi peptide hair serum…. Is that also too much on the scalp?
Same thing.
Hey Cyn Doll I have a question. Is jamaican black castor oil with peppermint good as an oil? I use that on my scalp
Do not use oil on the scalp!
@@IamCynDoll ok thank you 😊
I legit just bought grease though😭. I'm trying to let my hair breath for a bit after a good few years of getting single and crochet twists back to back to back to back. Edges gone. I've gone four days with no grease on my hair and didn't even have a comb so I was just using clove water and finger detangling and calling it a day. I finally went to the store to get a conditioner grease and a comb...I guess I should return it?...😔
Video coming soon.
Sulfur 8 light grease works to grow back hair
It also causes scalp inflammation. Thanks for watching!
@@IamCynDoll my scalp loves this grease I guess a lot of products isn’t for everybody s scalp
@@IamCynDoll I guess it’s not for everybody then
Sulfur 8 has been a God send. I use it every wash day. Scalp is thriving!
@@HumbleWifeandMom I’ve been using it for seven yrs now and my scalp loves it
I used ACV many times in past month and it has thinned out my hair strands by a lot (male), unfortunately did not see your videos, did using ACV also impact the root or can I expect that new growth and new hair will not be affected and thinned anymore?
Video coming soon.
Hey Cyn, have you maybe had a video on this? Something related to (apple cider) vinegar or similar substances dissolving/thinning hair strands rather than helping hair? And how much it damages the follicle as well not only the strand
❤️What about oils that don’t block the pores like peppermint or lavender ?
Essential oils should never go on the scalp without a carrier oil and should only be used to treat a condition and then shampooed off.
Do you know what a sore scalp is from? Specifically in the back/middle of hair? Also, the hair their is slightly more rough than the rest. I was thinking it's possibly scalp damage. No balding spots, no dandruff.
It's been like this for over 10 years now. I dyed my hair around that time and used that old maxiglide flat iron with the pens and WEN cleansing conditioner.
I eat pretty healthy, and I'm learning how to treat my hair differently with your teachings. I've been off oiling for a while now. I was oiling before shampoo, but I'm going to stop completely now.
Hi watch this. ruclips.net/video/Byt20urgdA0/видео.htmlsi=zxI53AE55frj_LVi

Gurrrlll👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’ve gone through the playlist to see what can benefit me but I don’t have curly hair and I’m a not a black female. I’m a male that is struggling and I’m only 17. I use clove water everyday for 2 weeks now. I’m a 17 year old Asian male with straight hair and my hair can get oily. I’ve recently been doing putting Clove water onto my hair and then I just try to letting it airdry. Sorry about this but I have a lot of questions if you could take your time to read this. I’m very insecure about myself right now and I need someone else’s advice desperately and what to do. Q1. When I wait and try to let it be airdryed and when I wake up in the morning my hair has like a greasy feel and I could see my scalp more clearly. Is it because of the fact I’m air drying and should I towel dry or is it something else? Q2. As well as this when I put on moisturiser it makes my hair really greasy as my hair is quite oily. Do I have to use moisturiser as it’s making my hair look terrible. Q3. Is my hair when I wake up thin and looks greasy because I’ve sprayed too much clove water in my hair and should I spray lees? Q4. Am I able to sleep with my hair wet with Clove water? I’ve heard some say that it could cause breakage if you sleep with wet hair at night. Q5. Is it ok to use it everyday? I’ve seen peopel day you can use it everyday depending on how severe it could be. Q6. College is nearly starting for me so I was wondering am I able to apply this at night and wash it off in the morning? Q7. When it’s washday is it better to rinse it off or use a shampoo and conditioner to wash it off? Q8. As moisturiser makes my hair more oily/greasy would essential oils help or not? I was thinking of rosemary oily but it might add more grease to my hair. Q9. I use this around 11pm and I got to sleep around 12pm. Should I towel dry or air dry it when I’m gonna go to sleep? Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please read this as soon as possible I really need help. I need to know why my hair gets so greasy and I can see my scalp more clearly when I wake up in the morning and I’m really struggling my and I’m panicking. I’m losing so much confidence because of this and I feel so insecure about myself.
Your only 17. Stop putting stuff in your hair! Shampoo, condition , leave in conditioner and walk away.
@@IamCynDoll I’ve heard that leave in condiment is bad for oily hair. Is it ok to wash hair everyday or is bad and would it lead to thinning? What shampoo, conditioner and leave in condiment would you recommend. My hair is thinning and I can see my scalp easily under light. As you said I’m 17 should I stop using clove water or should I continue? I’ve resorted to using clove water because I have been feeling so down and insecure as I can see my scalp clearly under light and it’s just embarrassing for myself.
@@IamCynDoll just figured out that my hair is low porosity is clove bad for low porosity hair?
@@IamCynDoll hi pls reply back to me
She said Shampoo then rinse, Condition then rinse, put a little leave in conditioner in your hair then blow dry it on medium heat and that it, got it😊
Can you use conditioner oil on just the hair it self if doing braids and keeping it up for 2 months so the braids won't dry out.
Yes but only on your hair. You can still use your products just not on the scalp.
Okay, what should someone do if they have bald spots and they're trying to regrow their hair?

Hey boo!
For me I don't think the oil sebum comes out of my scalp personally. My hair is so darn dry I am just jaded.
You definitely have sebaceous glands all over your entire body. If oil isn’t coming from your scalp the follicle is blocked. Even dogs have oil coming from the follicle.
@ Cyn Doll Can the consistency of sebum be affected (gummy, for example) if you don’t drink enough water?
Yes but not excessively. It slows down when you don’t drink enough water the consistency doesn’t change as much.
@@IamCynDoll Thanks so much!
Let’s keep it real black women are know it alls they are hairdressers, estheticians, event planners , attorneys, influencers, interior decorators, etc rolled into 1 and they have never stepped foot inside a school. I am tired of my clients trying to tell me and they don’t do hair.
HEYYYY SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!!
Lol its soo funny you say this and I literally just experienced this. Tried to tell a hairdress some of the tips my esthetician gave me because she is struggling with her skin and always has been. Why she tell me “i went to hair school and they teach us a little of everything i know what to do”. You’re still not skilled specifically in that area to know everything and then why are you still struggling with your skin till this day?
So you are saying that you put NOTHING ON YOUR SCALP? What about moisturizing the scalp? What it is that you use? I never heard of this before I use grease and I moisturize my scalp like every 2-3 days with conditioner and water
Read the comments, there are women who do it everyday. You’re very confused on hair hair. Did you watch the video? If the scalp is coated with sebum it doesn’t need moisture. Conditioner is water , wax and oil it doesn’t add moisture it blocks the follicles. Please go do some research your very confused and lost. That’s exactly what I’m saying, keep your scalp clean. Products are for the mid shaft to ends not scalp.
I know. Old habits die hard. Once you learn how your hair works, some products just become obsolete. I use fewer products now and invested in a great shampoo for my porosity type. Good luck!
Don't put anything on your scalp. It's like coating your skin with oil and grease and not wash it off for a whole week or one month! How will your body feel?
My hair in the back thinned because of my vitamin D
The best heads of hair in my experience don’t use all this nonsense on their scalp.
