There is this girl in my school who has so much hair with so much curls and I really want to treat them like this, her hair is so damaged, I've talked to her and she said she doesn't know how to style it and that its too much work to ever do anything to it. I really want to ask her over to my house or vice versa so I can help her 😂
Love how you let your hair be natural and be free without heat damage I now wear my hair naturally curly and I love it my hair is so much healthier and it's such low maintenance now love it thanks for the great video!
I had a lot of heat damage from a couple years of straightening, and I've recently gone natural for good ( no more heat styling ) and I just used the Aphogee Two-Step Protein treatment and it brought most of my curls back to life with just the first use! It got rid of about 86% of my heat damage
I used to be so obsessed with dying my hair super blonde and then like you can already figure it absolutely quit on life and stopped curling! 4 1/2 inches of the ends were just straight and curls. I chopped my hair and it devastated me. Then my cousin told me about your channel! DON'T EVER STOP WHAT YOU DO!!! It has been such a help to watch you thank you and keep doing your thing and sharing it with us I can't get enough! Thank you!
Wow, this is crazy. I remember watching your first damage video in 2012 when you first posted it, and in 2013 i watched this video, and I started my hair journey. I've learned to love my hair and it's been able to grow and become healthy! You were my inspiration and I will never forget that and cannot thank you enough! Ilysm Alba!! ❤️
This was one of the first videos I watched about heat damage and how to get back my healthy curls. This was over a year ago I used to be ashamed of my hair and although it didnt happen overnight I sticked with my healthy regime and now Im Proud to say I recoverd from my heat damage and I fell back in love with my hair. Thank u Alba for all the tips.
Oh my goodness thank you!!! I have just a little bit of heat damage left from when I cut it, and the damaged parts that were left were so dry and frizzy and completely unmanageable. I just did this an hour ago and omg. When washing it out my hair was already noticeably silkier and shinier, and felt thicker/stronger. When styling it the parts that usually just frizzed up and stayed straight actually not only curled a little, but RESPONDED to the products! My hair looks amazing and much healthier. I could cry. I am DEFINITELY doing this each month on top of my deep conditionings! I feel like I'm advocating for a commercial item, but this is just something you can do at home. I won't say it will work the same for everyone, but I have a 3b/3c and my hair looks amazing already!
I want to know how to have my hair look good in the morning. I have curly hair and before bed or hours before I have a shower and condition my hair etc. However, when I wake up the next morning its all messed up so I shake it around but it never looks as good as the day before, why is that. Do I need to moisturize every morning? Someone help!
I had the same problem, what I do is mix water and a tiny, tiny bit of my leave in, in a spray bottle and spray it in my hair. It nourishes and revives your hair quickly.
SunKissAlba Say what yall want--but ima man w/long hair, which is why I clicked on this vid in the 1st place. Im NOT a perv, buy GAAAAATDAAYUM!! Alba is FUCKIN GORGEOUS!! Didn't think I would make it thru the whole vid because of typical EXTRA'NESS of these type of vids, but I must say she was knowledgeable, seemingly down to earth, and articulate---and did say she was FINE as a MF!! LOL, I just subbed and thumbed it up. Please God of heaven and Earth, make my wife as fine Alba OR more fine--IF thatz possible!! Pray 4 me yall* Peace+++
Keep the videos coming. I am 100% puerto rican with naturally curly hair. Your no shampoo, no heat, and twirling method has done wonders for my hair. It has never looked better!!!!! Thank you for the tips......
it differs for different hair textures. some hair requires less moisture and some requieres more so it all depends on how oily your hair can get and how you like your hair to be. I clarify with this routine because the no poo will add hydration not remove it so it depends on how dry my hair is overall
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!! When I was younger I had beautiful tight 3c curls, and really my hair was treated fairly nice, but for some years now my hair has been really looks like 3b/3a hair, I haven't really used heat on my hair, but I also haven't been taking good care of it, which is something I understand, but what I wanna know is why my curls are so loose now, I did the big chop but I haven't seen much of a diffrence, and like I said I don't use heat much, maybe 1x or 2x a year p.s. I recently did a chemical treatment, but like I said this has been happening for years .. Help??
The only way to get perm out of your hair is to cut it off. They is no product or anything on the market for that. Our hair texture changes over time. So no ones hair is exactly like when they were a child. You could be over washing. Make sure to use sulfate free shampoos and leave the conditioner on your hair until you are finished washing up and doing everything else in the shower. Follow up with a deep conditioning treatment after every wash. I wash my hair once a week. I have 3c/4a low density high porosity hair with normal scalp and dry natural hair. Use a heat cap or sit under a hair dryer when deep conditioning. Heat penetrates the hair allowing the deep conditioner to really work its magic. Rinse then always follow up with leave in conditioner. Then product to moisturize. Then oil to seal in moisture. Style and Let air dry half way then diffuse or let air dry complete. Also known as a wash and go. You may need to add a pre poo treatment before every wash. Protein treatment every two weeks or as needed. Research is key!! Mo knows hair is wonderful to follow and I hope this helps!
Hair changes. Especially after puberty. My hair got curlier urs probably just got looser. My advice is: dont think about types of curls. Enjoy ur hair as it is now. There r so many benefits to looser curls and lm sure ur hair is beautiful
clarifying is a deep clean done once in a while not often. I do it once a month because I do not use shampoo unless im clarifying once a month. I co wash weekly or use deva Curl No Poo which is the opposite of ShamPOO. It cleans without the POO meaning no soap no suds no bubbles that dry out curls
I recommend to be patient and stop using heat. youll get there sooner if u enjoy the process of recovery and do not sit and wait for it or itll seem longer. get a trim and just give ur hair tlc youll get there. Its not going to happen over night so be patient and dedicated
No disrespect Bumble bee--but this is why little black girls don't know how to comb/care for their hair...inherent laziness. C'mon, the treatment is ONCE a month yo! Is it too much to give YOU/YOUR hair 2.5-3hrs of detailed love and attention--once a month?? If it is, I thoroughly understand--keep doin what you do. Sad that black women don't own even 1 percent of the beauty supply stores in our communities. Koreans and other Asian INVESTORS got that shit on lock! They profit off of our ignorance and lack of self love...sad ;( Peace family*
Thanks :) coconut oil is the best oils so I wouldn't recommend anyone stop using because someone else doesnt like the smell so im assuming your leaving coconut oil in your hair for purposes other than deep conditioning. I love coconut scent its one of my favorite smells in this whole world I even have coconut candles so try not going to bed with it or getting it on ur pillow so the smell isnt bothering him. I dont leave it in my hair as a styler so ive never been told i have an unpleasant scent
yes you're right by all means do further research because you'll see why I use baking soda once a month ONLY to clarify because I do the curly girl method all month long which means I do not use shampoo at all all month until I clarify with baking soda. so you see... it balances out. You should do research as well before commenting on something you haven't looked into :)
I had the same as u can see in my 2011 videos. You can improve some parts but the entirely straight pieces have to be cut off like I did in 2011 and do masque and stop using heat and your hair will love you back
I also do the egg mask, but I prefer to make a special hair mayonnaise: 1 egg 1 coffee cup of different types of extra virgin oil (coconut, olive, flax seed, almond, jojoba oil or any kind you like) and the juice of half a lemon. You can also add some liquid Vitamin E and Vitamin A. Then just blend it all together. After applying it on my hair I prefer to use wrapping food foil instead of a shower hat. The longer you leave the mask on, the better.
Lately my hair has been dry and doesn't curl up nicely like it used to. I tried the egg treatment and my curls were bouncy and amazing . I swear the whole day people kept touching my hair because it looked really good. Thank you for putting this up . i look forward for more :)
No u cannot sleep with egg in ur hair hun! it will damage ur hair to leave egg in it for more than 1 hr. its too much protein and can change texture of hair if u leave it on too long or do it too often. which is why I say in description box below not to do it more than once every few months. its not needed to be done often
yes I am dominican. Dominicans are generally mixed with indian, spaniard and african so my granparents had naturally straight hair but my dad has very course afro hair and my mom has loose curls so thats where my texture comes from
Devachan salon is a salon specialized for natural curly hair so they only style curly hair no straightening. That's where i got my first curly cut in 2011 :) i absolutely loved it
its in description box and I annotated in the video too. yes i wash my hair again but not 2 times in 1 day. I do 1 or the other not both masque. I was only showing 2 options for video purposes
Hey Alba just wanted to say you are so inspirational! Curls, skin, makeup, relationships you totally slay! You're one of the reasons I started my own channel. Be blessed always
OH MY GOOOOOOD YOU'RE SO GORGEOUS. This kind of makes me depressed because my hair is soooo damaged and frizzy, and the way I live right now, my parents would NEVER let me do ANY of this. Apparently it's too "high maintenance." [*Sigh*]
Thank you for this tutorial. I love your "No Comb" detangling technique. I tried this before washing and deep conditioning my hair and I love the results. I also used the "No Comb" detangle technique in the shower and was really impressed with the results. No more combs for me.
Thank you for your videos. I'm a 44 year old American Indian women. I have super natural curly hair. Up unto last year I had bar length hair. I stopped coloring and straightening over a year ago. I did had to cut it boob length after seeing the damage I'd done from processing it. I plan on flowing your methods, and I hope it will help my hair restore itself. I still have damaged ends, but I will allow it to grow out more, before cutting it again. Your awesome for sharing and thank you.
it can be overnight. in this video I said i can leave it in and let it sit or wash it out etc... for filming video purposes i did not leave it in overnight so i can proceed to show the next steps and not waste time
My sister in law and all of her sisters have curly hair and I never see any curly haired girls with hair as pretty as yours. You do a lot of research and care enough to know how to properly take care of your hair.
when done once a month like me being on the curly girl method it works out perfectly and balances out. I dont use shampoo all month only cleansing cream and conditioner to cleanse so Im never at a loss of moisture and once a month I clarify with baking soda. Ive been doing it for years over 2 years to be exact so it all about the routine. its definitely bad if u use to too often by i use it to balance out. so because 1 person proves why they dont like it doesnt mean its bad for everyone.
not when its done in my perspective which is with the curly girl method meaning I do not use shampoo ever unless im clarifying so I replace shampoo with baking soda ONCE a month to clarify. Im not new to baking soda Ive been using it since 2010 and do not use it as a daily cleanser Only once a month to clarify my scalp.
I want to take the time to thank you for creating this video blog! You have the best curly hair tutorials and I'm so happy to see someone that looks like me on here and am looking forward to using these products and see my hair get healthy! THANK YOU!
I have in older videos but I havent in about 2 years or so (The damage of doing it once isnt worth) I dont desire to see it straight anymore I love my curls so much :)
This was one of my favorite video that made me follow in love with you channel. I still go back to it even tho so many years has passed. Years has passed and you have become a better version of yourself!! It is so noticeable! I wish the best for you and your beautiful family! 😘🌺
Absolutely Love Your videos. I have checked several other channels, and all are good too, but you are the closest to where I want to get with my hair, skin and nutrition. Getting more into organics as well. Please do not stop making videos, you have become a big inspiration for me. I know you will make it to where you want with your own organics line. Best of wishes always!
You are correct! Oils and natural butters act as a sealant for moisture but can not moisture by themselves! You need water, an actual moisturizer, leave-in conditioner, etc. Then you can use your oils or whatever to lock in the moisture
Omg , I hated my hair and straightened it like everyday & for two years I've been battling damaged hair and a while ago I started watching your videos and its sooo curly now & I love it . Thank you so much !! (:
Finger detangling SHOULD be for everyone! I started the Curly Girl method last month and the results have been good! This video and the Wash & Go vid got me started. I did everything in the handbook too. The biggest game changers were cutting out shampoo and finger detangling. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the coconut oil (my scalp doesn't like it) and twirling my hair. Then again, my hair is fine textured and less dense than Alba's:)
I havent colored my hair over 2 years so the reddish tones you see are fading and growing out still. the the top part is my natural color the ends are old color thats still growing out
I never get tired of your videos, I've seen this video at least 10 times because my hair is like yours. You're one of the reasons why I chose to go natural :) those curls are beautiful!! Plus I love my curls3
it was waist length and I cut it 4 inches, then 2 inches then layers gradually not right away until all the damage was gone. I left it above boob length in aug 2012 and now its right below boob length. I no longer have to gradually trim or often trim since all the damage is gone I only trim the hair on the front when it gets to long.
Alba, your hair looks great! You were so right about patience and following the techniques you provide in your 2 recent hair videos on deep conditioning and daily routine/twirling hair. I've been following them to the T and my hair never looked better. Much healthier, stronger and fuller. Didn't know my hair was this curly. Thank you!
I dyed my hair 1 last time black only to go back to my natural color and ive never dyed it again since 2011 I still have some red dye that seeps through the bottom half of my hair but I dont mind it cuz it looks nice in the light and kinda looks like the ombre affect so its all good :)
have u seen how i recovered from my damage in older videos? I cut off my straight pieces and never straightened my hair again and just deep conditioned monthly and also did masque like in this video and kept trimming my damaged straight pieces as it grows. be patient thats all. hair generally grows 1inch to 1-1/2 inch every 2 months! it took me over 6 months to see my natural roots texture so healthy and different from the rest of my hair
7 months isnt much at all especially after a perm. took me 6 months to see my 2inch new growth growing out without ever having a perm. It will not happen over night Patience & Dedication is worth it. Think realistically... do u really expect ur hair to just go back to curly after 7 months? it has to grow out and u have to gradually start cutting the damage off as it grows. hair grows approximately 1inch to 1-1/2 inch every 2 months. Enjoy the journey, if u dont it'll only seem longer.
So I tried the egg and coconut oil mask and at first after I had rinsed it out, I was like "okay this didn't work" because my hair was all tangled but after putting in some leave in conditioner omg my hair just felt stronger and les frizzy and more manageable!It totally worked:-) Thanks Alba!
I just stopped by to thank you for your videos. I have very fine type 3c hair. I was able to put together a system of my own that works for my hair. I wouldn't have been able to do so if I didn't have the guidance provided in your videos. I think of all the years of putting all the chemicals in it and wish I would have come across your vids sooner! I used to consider my curls a curse and now I love them. Thank you!
well I scalp massage and finger detangle once a week before each cleanse but I dont do a protein masque that often I only do it when needed. I do the Anti breakage masque much more often then protein masque. too much protein can be bad because it can change your texture when done too often so Id say if u want something weekly do a hot oil treatment weekly or anti breakage masque by shea moisture not proetin
Hey Alba, I think leaving the egg for longer periods depends on the type of hair and its needs. I have left it overnight (unintentionally) and have had great results, my hair is fine and if not cared for properly can get brittle and extremely dry. Ive used the yolk when is in this state, left it for longer than an hour (or overnight) and works great. I mix it with coconut milk, avocado and other stuff. Coconut oil also works wonders for dry hair. Me fascina ver a dominicanas como tu. Keep it up!
I have a cut shaped around my face frame long layers so I maintain long length with short layers around the crown area for volume on top so my hair is short on top long true to length on bottom
In order to moisturize your hair, you have to use something that has some kind of water in it.Leave-in conditioners and hair moisturizers are made for this.You don't have to moisturize your hair before you wash it as it makes no sense to.You should moisturize it after you wash and condition.You can even moisturize your hair with a homemade spritz and a whole plethora of things.
I think you have become one of my new favorites!!! You are gorgeous and I love any tips that I can get on my curly hair. My hair has always been natural but lately it has lost its curl and moisture. Before I watched this video I purchased some of these conditioning items and now I am excited about starting the no heat journey for the next few months. Thank you again for helping out the girls with the curly hair. Its not as manageable as some people think... lol
I restyle by adding water to dampen, I air dry only and sleep on satin pillow case thats all. about my teeth I only use baking soda on my tooth paste to brush and drink coffee and tea through a straw thats it
you can use olive oil or avocado oil because they also penetrate the hair shaft just like coconut. Or just use any oil like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil . Any oil will help honestly :)
I think that has to do with how ur applying ur products and smoothing it down while applying from root to tip like I do in my new curly hair routine. I also dont touch my hair until its dry and dont manipulate it until its 100% dry before I fluff and add volume
You don't have to refrigerate coconut oil, although in heat it will melt to an oil state and in room temperature or lower coconut oil will solidify. It all just depends on your preference. Personally I leave mine in my room.
its not recommended to apply that much protein often its suggested to be applied no more than once every 6 months! if u dont use heat often or no heat like me you will most likely not even need to apply egg in ur hair often anyway
yea, I realized it was in the description box after I wrote the comment. :) I can not wait for your updated curly girl routine! You have definitely change my perceptions on my skin and hair products.(parabens,sulfates etc) I have seriously gone and bought a lot of the products you use and I love them.My hair is not as curly as yours( i would like it to be), But I notice a difference. Curly hair don't care!! Thank you so much!

i love how different you are! physically and just the way you speak and act :)
There is this girl in my school who has so much hair with so much curls and I really want to treat them like this, her hair is so damaged, I've talked to her and she said she doesn't know how to style it and that its too much work to ever do anything to it. I really want to ask her over to my house or vice versa so I can help her 😂

Shneee Shnaaa omg same! there is this girl in my classroom that straightens her hair every time she washes her hair because she doesn't like it!:(
Rude
Shneee Shnaaa i
This made my hair so soft and healthy looking. I feel a lot more confident with my natural curly hair 😍 lol it even made my skin soft. LOVE IT
Love how you let your hair be natural and be free without heat damage I now wear my hair naturally curly and I love it my hair is so much healthier and it's such low maintenance now love it thanks for the great video!
I can watch her videos over and over again. I luv to do my hair while damage videos are playing. It's fun.
I had a lot of heat damage from a couple years of straightening, and I've recently gone natural for good ( no more heat styling ) and I just used the Aphogee Two-Step Protein treatment and it brought most of my curls back to life with just the first use! It got rid of about 86% of my heat damage
okay maybe not 86% in the first use, but it helps soooo much
Jordan Nolan I really want to use that but I've heard people say it damages and breaks your hair, is this true?
Jordan Nolan I have the same situation as you I've been straightening my hair 8 years and my curls are gone :(
Anesthetic Ethan only if you do it too much
Jordan Nolan how often did you do the treatment
You have the prettiest frizz free curls I have ever seen!!!
I used to be so obsessed with dying my hair super blonde and then like you can already figure it absolutely quit on life and stopped curling! 4 1/2 inches of the ends were just straight and curls.

Thank you so much
SunKissAlba Say what yall want--but ima man w/long hair, which is why I clicked on this vid in the 1st place. Im NOT a perv, buy GAAAAATDAAYUM!! Alba is FUCKIN GORGEOUS!!

Keep the videos coming. I am 100% puerto rican with naturally curly hair. Your no shampoo, no heat, and twirling method has done wonders for my hair. It has never looked better!!!!! Thank you for the tips......
What do u mean by "clarify your hair"? No shampoo?
Do you air dry?
Lely clarify means getting rid of the build up of course she shampoos
patience, dedication and No heat. youll get there. it took me 2 years totally worth it
After the egg treatment ... Do you wash with shampo and is it better with cold or hot water ??
Pamely De Jesus me tooo she is beautiful
Cold or room temp, hot water could cook the eggs
it differs for different hair textures. some hair requires less moisture and some requieres more so it all depends on how oily your hair can get and how you like your hair to be. I clarify with this routine because the no poo will add hydration not remove it so it depends on how dry my hair is overall
do you ever leave the coconut oil in your hair? I'm wondering if it's ok to style with coconut oil
This may be too late of a reply but it's perfectly fine to leave coconut oil in your hair as it's a very good natural moisturiser
sleeping on a satin pillow case helps, also air drying helps and dont use cotton towels only microfiber or t-shirt. it will prevent frizz and tangles
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

I read somewhere that hair changes every 7 years or so. It's happened to my hair, when I was younger I had 2a/2b curls now I'm at 3b/3a
Hair changes. Especially after puberty. My hair got curlier urs probably just got looser. My advice is: dont think about types of curls. Enjoy ur hair as it is now. There r so many benefits to looser curls and lm sure ur hair is beautiful
clarifying is a deep clean done once in a while not often. I do it once a month because I do not use shampoo unless im clarifying once a month. I co wash weekly or use deva Curl No Poo which is the opposite of ShamPOO. It cleans without the POO meaning no soap no suds no bubbles that dry out curls
does the coconut oil and egg really work?
okay thank you c:
Maria Jose yes I had damage hair my hair is so beautiful
I recommend to be patient and stop using heat. youll get there sooner if u enjoy the process of recovery and do not sit and wait for it or itll seem longer. get a trim and just give ur hair tlc youll get there. Its not going to happen over night so be patient and dedicated
Jesus you're SO beautiful!!!!!!
Alba I haven't even gotten to the deep condition yet and my hair already looks phenomenal. You rock.
No disrespect Bumble bee--but this is why little black girls don't know how to comb/care for their hair...inherent laziness. C'mon, the treatment is ONCE a month yo! Is it too much to give YOU/YOUR hair 2.5-3hrs of detailed love and attention--once a month?? If it is, I thoroughly understand--keep doin what you do. Sad that black women don't own even 1 percent of the beauty supply stores in our communities. Koreans and other Asian INVESTORS got that shit on lock! They profit off of our ignorance and lack of self love...sad ;(
Peace family*
shghhispanic
Fuck you!!!!
Well said, at the end of the day, black people don't even like to support their own people.
OMG lmao!!! Do you even know that Koreans have the curliest hair of all Asians!
Yoda Ydyxz literally fuck you you are not wanted.
Hey Alba! I'm very happy with your success!! Going through heat damage recovery as well! Thanks for the tips!
in the Refrigerator. it solidifies in the cold and softens in room temperature.
once its a habit it becomes a staple and theres no other way for you. it becomes easy to do because it flys by once its part of your routine.
yes it works for all hair types but especially curly hair cuz it needs the hydration most
Thanks :) coconut oil is the best oils so I wouldn't recommend anyone stop using because someone else doesnt like the smell so im assuming your leaving coconut oil in your hair for purposes other than deep conditioning.

No u cannot sleep with egg in ur hair hun! it will damage ur hair to leave egg in it for more than 1 hr. its too much protein and can change texture of hair if u leave it on too long or do it too often. which is why I say in description box below not to do it more than once every few months. its not needed to be done often
yes I am dominican. Dominicans are generally mixed with indian, spaniard and african so my granparents had naturally straight hair but my dad has very course afro hair and my mom has loose curls so thats where my texture comes from
Devachan salon is a salon specialized for natural curly hair so they only style curly hair no straightening. That's where i got my first curly cut in 2011 :) i absolutely loved it
its in description box and I annotated in the video too. yes i wash my hair again but not 2 times in 1 day. I do 1 or the other not both masque. I was only showing 2 options for video purposes
Hey Alba just wanted to say you are so inspirational! Curls, skin, makeup, relationships you totally slay! You're one of the reasons I started my own channel. Be blessed always
no just one. i was just showing 2 options for 2 purposes. check description box all info is there
OH MY GOOOOOOD YOU'RE SO GORGEOUS. This kind of makes me depressed because my hair is soooo damaged and frizzy, and the way I live right now, my parents would NEVER let me do ANY of this. Apparently it's too "high maintenance." [*Sigh*]
Thank you for this tutorial. I love your "No Comb" detangling technique. I tried this before washing and deep conditioning my hair and I love the results. I also used the "No Comb" detangle technique in the shower and was really impressed with the results. No more combs for me.
Thank you for your videos. I'm a 44 year old American Indian women. I have super natural curly hair. Up unto last year I had bar length hair. I stopped coloring and straightening over a year ago. I did had to cut it boob length after seeing the damage I'd done from processing it. I plan on flowing your methods, and I hope it will help my hair restore itself. I still have damaged ends, but I will allow it to grow out more, before cutting it again. Your awesome for sharing and thank you.
it can be overnight. in this video I said i can leave it in and let it sit or wash it out etc... for filming video purposes i did not leave it in overnight so i can proceed to show the next steps and not waste time
My sister in law and all of her sisters have curly hair and I never see any curly haired girls with hair as pretty as yours. You do a lot of research and care enough to know how to properly take care of your hair.
when done once a month like me being on the curly girl method it works out perfectly and balances out. I dont use shampoo all month only cleansing cream and conditioner to cleanse so Im never at a loss of moisture and once a month I clarify with baking soda. Ive been doing it for years over 2 years to be exact so it all about the routine. its definitely bad if u use to too often by i use it to balance out. so because 1 person proves why they dont like it doesnt mean its bad for everyone.
no that was only for video purposes and editing tricks :) I placed all the info in description box :) check it out everything is there
Your curls look so much nicer then they did last year. I didn't even know that was possible!
not when its done in my perspective which is with the curly girl method meaning I do not use shampoo ever unless im clarifying so I replace shampoo with baking soda ONCE a month to clarify. Im not new to baking soda Ive been using it since 2010 and do not use it as a daily cleanser Only once a month to clarify my scalp.
I want to take the time to thank you for creating this video blog! You have the best curly hair tutorials and I'm so happy to see someone that looks like me on here and am looking forward to using these products and see my hair get healthy! THANK YOU!
I have in older videos but I havent in about 2 years or so (The damage of doing it once isnt worth) I dont desire to see it straight anymore I love my curls so much :)
This was one of my favorite video that made me follow in love with you channel. I still go back to it even tho so many years has passed. Years has passed and you have become a better version of yourself!! It is so noticeable! I wish the best for you and your beautiful family! 😘🌺
Absolutely Love Your videos. I have checked several other channels, and all are good too, but you are the closest to where I want to get with my hair, skin and nutrition. Getting more into organics as well. Please do not stop making videos, you have become a big inspiration for me. I know you will make it to where you want with your own organics line. Best of wishes always!
You are correct! Oils and natural butters act as a sealant for moisture but can not moisture by themselves! You need water, an actual moisturizer, leave-in conditioner, etc. Then you can use your oils or whatever to lock in the moisture
Omg , I hated my hair and straightened it like everyday & for two years I've been battling damaged hair and a while ago I started watching your videos and its sooo curly now & I love it . Thank you so much !! (:
Finger detangling SHOULD be for everyone! I started the Curly Girl method last month and the results have been good! This video and the Wash & Go vid got me started. I did everything in the handbook too. The biggest game changers were cutting out shampoo and finger detangling. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the coconut oil (my scalp doesn't like it) and twirling my hair. Then again, my hair is fine textured and less dense than Alba's:)
I havent colored my hair over 2 years so the reddish tones you see are fading and growing out still. the the top part is my natural color the ends are old color thats still growing out
I never get tired of your videos, I've seen this video at least 10 times because my hair is like yours. You're one of the reasons why I chose to go natural :) those curls are beautiful!! Plus I love my curls3
by doing exactly what in this video. No heat, just TLC and PATIENCE. my hair did not recover over night if u look back at my videos
Great tips with coconut oil. I do wonder how you keep your skin so smooth and glowing! Seriously girl!
it was waist length and I cut it 4 inches, then 2 inches then layers gradually not right away until all the damage was gone. I left it above boob length in aug 2012 and now its right below boob length. I no longer have to gradually trim or often trim since all the damage is gone I only trim the hair on the front when it gets to long.
I clarify once. after the egg masque I only cleanse and condition and style as usual. its all in description box
Alba, your hair looks great! You were so right about patience and following the techniques you provide in your 2 recent hair videos on deep conditioning and daily routine/twirling hair. I've been following them to the T and my hair never looked better. Much healthier, stronger and fuller. Didn't know my hair was this curly. Thank you!
I dyed my hair 1 last time black only to go back to my natural color and ive never dyed it again since 2011 I still have some red dye that seeps through the bottom half of my hair but I dont mind it cuz it looks nice in the light and kinda looks like the ombre affect so its all good :)
I use two plastic bags on my head...one covers the front and the other covers the back and they overlap in the middle. Works like magic. Great video.
have u seen how i recovered from my damage in older videos? I cut off my straight pieces and never straightened my hair again and just deep conditioned monthly and also did masque like in this video and kept trimming my damaged straight pieces as it grows. be patient thats all. hair generally grows 1inch to 1-1/2 inch every 2 months! it took me over 6 months to see my natural roots texture so healthy and different from the rest of my hair
Yes I placed some replacement oils in description box
7 months isnt much at all especially after a perm. took me 6 months to see my 2inch new growth growing out without ever having a perm. It will not happen over night Patience & Dedication is worth it. Think realistically... do u really expect ur hair to just go back to curly after 7 months? it has to grow out and u have to gradually start cutting the damage off as it grows. hair grows approximately 1inch to 1-1/2 inch every 2 months. Enjoy the journey, if u dont it'll only seem longer.
So I tried the egg and coconut oil mask and at first after I had rinsed it out, I was like "okay this didn't work" because my hair was all tangled but after putting in some leave in conditioner omg my hair just felt stronger and les frizzy and more manageable!It totally worked:-) Thanks Alba!
I just stopped by to thank you for your videos. I have very fine type 3c hair. I was able to put together a system of my own that works for my hair. I wouldn't have been able to do so if I didn't have the guidance provided in your videos. I think of all the years of putting all the chemicals in it and wish I would have come across your vids sooner! I used to consider my curls a curse and now I love them. Thank you!
well I scalp massage and finger detangle once a week before each cleanse but I dont do a protein masque that often I only do it when needed. I do the Anti breakage masque much more often then protein masque. too much protein can be bad because it can change your texture when done too often so Id say if u want something weekly do a hot oil treatment weekly or anti breakage masque by shea moisture not proetin
Hey Alba, I think leaving the egg for longer periods depends on the type of hair and its needs. I have left it overnight (unintentionally) and have had great results, my hair is fine and if not cared for properly can get brittle and extremely dry. Ive used the yolk when is in this state, left it for longer than an hour (or overnight) and works great. I mix it with coconut milk, avocado and other stuff. Coconut oil also works wonders for dry hair. Me fascina ver a dominicanas como tu. Keep it up!
I have a cut shaped around my face frame long layers so I maintain long length with short layers around the crown area for volume on top so my hair is short on top long true to length on bottom
i start off the video on uncleaned hair, massage, finger detangle, then cleanse. Check description box always because its all there :)
yes I placed all that in description box
In order to moisturize your hair, you have to use something that has some kind of water in it.Leave-in conditioners and hair moisturizers are made for this.You don't have to moisturize your hair before you wash it as it makes no sense to.You should moisturize it after you wash and condition.You can even moisturize your hair with a homemade spritz and a whole plethora of things.
I think you have become one of my new favorites!!! You are gorgeous and I love any tips that I can get on my curly hair. My hair has always been natural but lately it has lost its curl and moisture. Before I watched this video I purchased some of these conditioning items and now I am excited about starting the no heat journey for the next few months. Thank you again for helping out the girls with the curly hair. Its not as manageable as some people think... lol
I restyle by adding water to dampen, I air dry only and sleep on satin pillow case thats all. about my teeth I only use baking soda on my tooth paste to brush and drink coffee and tea through a straw thats it
no not the same day just 1 or the other. I just showed 2 options for 2 purposes
another tip is to do a scalp massage while hanging upside down! the blood flow to the scalp helps with the follicles
Clean hair as said in the video and I showed myself washing my hair then applying it
you can use olive oil or avocado oil because they also penetrate the hair shaft just like coconut. Or just use any oil like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil . Any oil will help honestly :)
devachan salon its specialized for natural hair styling no straightening
clarify means to deep clean with a shampoo or dr bronners to remove all oil and build up starting from beginning process before my reg styling
You have the most gorgeous curly hair I have ever seen!
Thanks yes! I placed all that info in description box
THIS IS LIKE A FLASHBACK THIS IS LIKE A DREAM !!! *-*
Yes its always in the description box of the video
I think that has to do with how ur applying ur products and smoothing it down while applying from root to tip like I do in my new curly hair routine. I also dont touch my hair until its dry and dont manipulate it until its 100% dry before I fluff and add volume
Best video I have seen on natural hair. Keep up the good work!!!!!!
You don't have to refrigerate coconut oil, although in heat it will melt to an oil state and in room temperature or lower coconut oil will solidify. It all just depends on your preference. Personally I leave mine in my room.
its not recommended to apply that much protein often its suggested to be applied no more than once every 6 months! if u dont use heat often or no heat like me you will most likely not even need to apply egg in ur hair often anyway
yea, I realized it was in the description box after I wrote the comment. :) I can not wait for your updated curly girl routine! You have definitely change my perceptions on my skin and hair products.(parabens,sulfates etc) I have seriously gone and bought a lot of the products you use and I love them.My hair is not as curly as yours( i would like it to be), But I notice a difference. Curly hair don't care!! Thank you so much!
Just finished trying your protein treatment (egg +coconut oil) and my hair looks and feels amazing! Thanks for all the hair tips!
yes wash condition and style as usual. I placed all the info in description box :) check it out everything is there
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! OMG!! I'm loving ALL of your videos!! I'm having sooooo much fun watching them and putting them all into practice!!
I love your hair so much! It's curly at its best! I also have curly hair, but the type where you have curls mid section and ends
