love you already.. i didn't even know there were plenty 4b/4c hair girls on youtube. I'm glad I found you. Alot of what i see are type 3 hair girls or 4a.
I love how real and transparent she is. Like she's not trying to be someone she isn't, it's like she's just talking to you and having a normal conversation. new subbie!
Your video had me nodding in agreement with a ton of the things you said about things that just didn't make sense when it came to natural hair. I'm one of the "protein-sensitive" ladies meaning my hair is extremely dry so it's extremely difficult to replenish moisture after protein treatments which makes it more prone to breakage instead of less (that's what I always thought protein sensitivity was supposed to mean anyway, which is more of an issue with deep conditioning/finding the right way to apply protein to your hair). But protein sensitivity on its own makes little sense for the exact same reason you described. I do have 1 interesting little tidbit to share: your body can be water sensitive, as little sense as it seems to make lol. I have a condition called aquagenic pruritus where my body erupts in itch for 30-45 minutes after coming into contact with water that isn't either extremely hot or extremely cold. That means swimming and pedicures are impossible for me, and I have to be really strategic about working out or moving about during the summertime due to issues sweating may cause. I believe it's an autoimmune issue which a lot of other water "allergies" I've researched seem to be. I guess all I wanted to say is sometimes the human body goes against logic lol.
omg, i remember in primary school we did a trip to the zoo, it started to rain, and that boy had a crisis. They called an ambulance, we had to go back to school, shitty day, when we asked what got to him they said "he was allergic to the rain". So since 2002 my eyebrows were raised like wtf how can someone be allergic to the rain, but i guess today I got my answer thanks
I think the term of "Protein Sensitivity" means just that. The hair already has "enough" protein in it that it doesn't need any more added to it. My hair behaves that way and we shouldn't be afraid when that happens. However, I do find the types of proteins introduced to the hair, do make a difference. I cannot put Flaxseeds gel(at all), avocado, Fenugreek, coconut/soy milk often on my hair since they're heavy. They will leave my hair ridiculously 'hard', or stiff, which leads to breakage; no amount of oils added to it, will help detangle it and it must be rinsed out immediately. But, lighter proteins like Aloe, coconut oil(combined with other oils), or hydrolyzed ones will get the job done smoothly. People with "Protein Sensitivity" should use more oils, give their hair lots of water, avoid products will alcohols( like EcoStyler Gel) and keep a look out for products with protein in them; this method has worked for me so far. The key is education and experience that comes with trials/ errors to see what does/n't work. I am not trying to make this an argument, just leaving this comment for those watching this video who have experienced same as I. I hope this is helpful and educational to you.
My son's hair is sensitive too. I kept listening to people suggesting adding more and more protein to stop his breakage, but his hair just turned into straw. I used a chelating shampoo and protein free products and his hair transformed.
me too .. i'm definitely "protein sensitive" .. all these protein / keratin treatments .. coconut oils ... greek yogurt, blah, blah blahs lol .. all leave my hair hard, dry & brittle like hay. smh. The minute I cut all the proteins out? Hair flourished lol ... Like you said, my hair has all the protein it needs
I totally agree. Learning that my hair hated coconut oil--one of the most praised oils in the natural hair community--changed my hair tons. Now my hair grows and retains length, and it is easier to manage. Only I found out my hair was low porosity which tends to be protein sensitive.
Thank you. This was very informative and definitely applicable to my own hair as well. I, like many others thought that the fact that my hair became hardened and stiff as a result of a treatment with an egg, for example, meant that there was something wrong with my hair. I have high porosity hair so I will try the combinations that you suggested (besides the coconut oil as it irritates my scalp). This is awesome!
I'm a Formulation Chemist and specialize in Skin Care, Hair Care, and Color Cosmetics and everything she is saying is right on the money! 👌🤓 I also love your sense of humor too!
Hi, sorry, I just have a question. I'm interested in a career in cosmetic chemistry and would like to have my own company one day. I'm just wondering, what educational path would I take to have such a career?
Elenore Friedsberg-Luft Hey there! After college I landed a job at at cosmetic manufacturing facility and entered in the industry this way working in the different categories of color cosmetics and personal care. Typically, you will need a a degree in one of the sciences to work in the lab. There’s a lot of opportunities within the industry such as formulations, analytical, testing, packaging, marketing, to name a few.
watching the video with my 8 yo in the room and then I hear "shea moisture has a line that comes out every fucking month". 😂😂 I had to stop the video. Don't they though?!
LMMFAO! I love how honest and real your videos are. "Just another fucking Shea Moisture product." I HOLLERED! Most vloggers are so worried about not offending people, that the videos come off as fake and contrived.
+Serena Guest I was so surprised to realize my hair prefers the Burdock, but I do bring in the heavy cream sometimes for my ends, or if my hair needs a little something more...well, *heavy*, haha.
I'm 4c and went natural 6 years ago. stayed natural about 18 months and then texturized. detailing was pulling out way too much hair. I'm not as patient as I should be with my hair. transitioning again now for 6 months then I will big chop in probably feb. used a lot of the same products that u use. I'm gonna try again. glad I found you. I embrace my hair I just was not patient enough before, character flaw.
I completly understand what your saying. I have 4c and some parts 4b and I dangle with a wide tooth comb and I'm genital but I still hear popping. I just feel my hair won't get enough if I only do it by hand.
I'm not very patient either, I use both my fingers and the comb. I find what works is hand separating your hair in eight - ten sections (1st in half down the middle, then front to back in 4 or five). Then I start from the hardest section to detangle. As I go along, i use a spray bottle to dampen the section (not soaking wet, just damp enough to soften). If it's prior to washing, I use water mixed with a really slippery conditioner like tresseme, but if I'm not planning to rinse/wash my hair I use just warm/hot water. Then I do a quick detangle with my fingers, pulling at the ends first to loosen then pulling any big knots apart... very briefly, I don't go in with the finger detangling bc it's so time consuming. THEN I go thru with a big tooth comb, starting from the ends and then going up. Takes about as little to 30 mins to sometimes an hour, depending on my mood lol I usually watch a RUclips video or something on my DVD while I do it. Hope that helps!
If my hair is a hot mess and extremely tangled, which only happens if I go to bed with an already tangled fro and smush it down even more and it gets matted. 🙄🙄 out of pure laziness lol smh THEN what I do is simply dampen it then SLATHER on a bunch of tresseme and it's so easy to detangle. Tresseme's conditioners give me thee best slip.
I bought the hawaiian silky curl activator gel. My hair is thick and this keeps it very moisturized. I must say my hair loves it!! Thank you for your videos/reviews!!!
seriously, had 2 take a moment to comment and THANK YOU for the detailed video, even though I'm vieweng it almost a year later. I note that so many natural hair videos attempt to offer tips on great moisturizers but usually end up recommending oils only. Your highlight of aloe vera juice and even the Hawaiian silky is a vast difference for 4c hair. keep up the great work, new subbie here!
So glad I found you! I was just wondering what kind of deep conditioner and moisturizer I should get next. You have pointed me in the right direction, and I love to support black owned! Thanks a bunch!
That 👏🏽 Hawaiian 👏🏽 Silky 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 truth! Thank you thank you thank you for putting me up on that product. It is the only product I’ve ever used that has kept my hair moisturized for more than a day. It’s made all the difference for me so thanks for sharing.
Angélic - 😅😁 whhhaaaaat lmbao...oh idk how to take this comment. It literally has me in tears laughing, but I'm also bothered that you wont purchase from black owned businesses....which thoroughly saddens me.
Riccia Thomas same, it's a shame people have so many complaints but aren't willing to work with a lot of these business' to elevate their brands and or customer service. It's a process.
OMG this entire video had me so in tune and entertained. Like everything about it was perfect. especially those side notes "I'm threatened by change" #DEAD
love your no nonsense informative approach to healthy hair maintenance, and your thoroughness in product selection. I enjoyed watching and will get on board and subscribe. thanks!
Great video. I would NEVER have considered Hawaiian Silky, but you holding up SUCH a massive jar is testament in itself. Going to try it. Loved your no nonsense style. New subscriber...
I am so amazed that I have only just discovered your videos today. Where have you been my entire time on RUclips?! Now I'm going to binge watch your videos because your personality and information just give me life!
it's very beneficial hearing about different products to get a personal opinion of how a product work. Going natural, listening to the videos from all the girls has been especially helpful for me.
Thanks for this I use some of the same things you use like Hawaiian silky and coconut oil And you are beautiful as ever, very stunning And I love your bluntness and "attitude "
I really love all of the products that you use on your hair because I also use some of them too. They are really moisturizing for dry 4c hair. Thanks for sharing with us.
Where do I begin. GORGEOUS! Superficial, yes but Idc your beautiful😍. Also you have, imho, PERFECTED the "No Makeup" makeup look! This is what I would love my makeup to look like all the time. Your intellectually sarcastic dry humor is what made me a subscriber. It doesn't matter if you left the natural hair community, your commentary brings me back time and time again and I plan on staying. Your really have the face, voice and personality for television.
I don't know if you're still using the herbal shampoo, but I can recommend PURE olive oil soap, typically made in Greece and Turkey. It leaves no residue, is quite moisturising and is VERY cheap. A popular brand is OLIVA. It has to be pure olive oil soap, not just olive oil scented or infused. It's usually made with water, olive oil and sodium hydroxide. Don't let that last one scare you, it's just to process the soap, none of it gets left in the product. And it cleans my hair really well. Wouldn't recommend it if you're wearing any type of weave and extensions though. The soap needs a large area to spread and lather up. If found when used on my box braids it just balled up and left a sticky mess which didn't clean my hair at all.
I just wanted to say thank you. Last night was my first time watching your video an it was awesome. I like people that KEEP IT REAL! I have been trying different products and continuing to learn new things each day about my hair. I am going to try the vinegar for sure, because my hair is a HOT mess when detangling. THANK YOU again, keep it up. Love your hair.
super long video but SUPER insightful, honest, and beautifully intelligent! Definitely worth the time I spent (thanks for not wasting my time) . . . I enjoyed every second, and just sub'd. Luv ya!
I was thinking "wow" she looks stupidly familiar and then I remembered... SHE WAS ON TASTED WITH NOAH GALUTEN! That was my favorite (and only) subscribed food related channel! I'm happy to see that she's glowing like a queen like I remember. Much love!
I think protein overload is probably what people mean by "sensitivity". Doing protein treatments too often, combined with protein rich products can cause breakage.
I'd try that mix with aloe without the jojoba. Castor oil absorbs very well in the hair unlike jojoba that just sits on top to protect moisture already added. May work better applying jojoba separetly at the end to keep all dat moisture sealed in as well as a lovely shine 😊
I finally tried the Hawaiian Silky gel and it's LIFE!! It's so moisturizing it has my frizzy edges (that can not be laid by any gel on 🌎) all curled up like legit baby hairs😭.But I can't find that big ass tub anywhere online and all the beauty supply places in my town only have the 8oz. Why did I wait so damn long to try it?!?!?
About washing your body with lotion : washing with oil is certainly a thing. I wash my face exclusively with cleansing oils. More importantly oil is the base of soap making- probably the first things our ancestors associated with cleansing. Doesn't work for everyone, but it does work. Currently I wash my hair with a mix of castor and sweet almond oil with some peppermint oil scrubbed into my scalp. Wash with very warm/ hot water; I have to add in coconut oil as a pre-poo because washing this way can be stripping. I own ACV but I'm too scared to make the transition from salad topping to hair ingredient. What does ACV actually do?
+adygirl13 I'm familiar with oil cleansing/the oil cleansing method for skin, and have tried it in the past, but that's really another topic entirely. In the video, I was talking about using conditioner in place of shampoo/"cowashing," not oil cleansing. Oil ≠ conditioner; and, for that matter, oil ≠ lotion, since I did make the analogy. Either way, it's nice that you found a oil cleansing method for your hair that works for you. Among other things, apple cider vinegar helps to constrict the hair cuticles, because it is an acid. It therefore makes the cuticle lie more flat, aiding in shine-- and for me, detangling. Some people also say it clarifies the hair; however, the scientific evidence that I have read does not support ACV as a sufficient cleansing agent.
LOL LOL LOL - how could I not hit the subscribe! Your natural hair humor surpassed 100! I concur with the posted re-quotes, HILARIOUS!!! I feel cheated to have missed your channel for so long - WTH?¿?! Anywhooo - going to scroll thru your other vids for some tips & tricks or just amusement. Thanks for sharing your options & time.
so i wont forget. :/ detangle and pree poo- acv and pre poo mix a day before shampoo and detangle (hydrolyzed protein) change parts in hair moisturizers-butter, creams leave ins. hawaiian silky
girl, i want to thank you sooooooooo much for introducing me to my new love (hawaiian silky activator gel).... it makes my hair feel so good! ughh i will always use this gel
All things in moderation! Hair needs balance and that balance can vary from one head of hair to another. One person may not need nearly as much protein, water or oil as another.
I just want you to say welcome to the fam for me.... I subscribed so quick. Also dang you're so articulate all of your intelligence just cleared up a loooot of doubt I had about using ANY products
I have tick wavy hair, idk why im watching this ... I watch your videos even if i don't know anything about the topic I love your personality and the quality content, one of my favorite channels ❤
I've been using the Shea Moisture Jamaican Castor Oil Shampoo and Conditioner and they do have so many products since they got a new partner with more money, but so glad they are still predominantly black owned. I thought I knew about natural products, but I'm really excited to try the products you listed.
"Products, products, products. ...So today I'm gunna talk about products." Absolutely cracked me up.
You had me at "Shea Moisture has a new line that comes out every f*cking month." SUBSCRIBED:)

I have been trying different products and continuing to learn new things each day about my hair. I am going to try the vinegar for sure, because my hair is a HOT mess when detangling. THANK YOU again, keep it up. Love your hair.
Thanks, happy to hear I could help!
I’m totally screaming right now! As soon as you started, I immediately subscribed. I love your extensive knowledge of hair products!😀
I really appreciate your videos being so concise! Really thorough, lots of info and very little rambling.
+Jennifer Onyeagbako Thanks! I've been getting some complaints about my videos being too long, but I really like to include as much info as I can.
this girl gives so much dope west coast realness! love this
You Are Such A Breath Of Fresh Air And I Have Enjoyed Binging On Your Videos!
super long video but SUPER insightful, honest, and beautifully intelligent! Definitely worth the time I spent (thanks for not wasting my time) . . . I enjoyed every second, and just sub'd. Luv ya!
I was thinking "wow" she looks stupidly familiar and then I remembered... SHE WAS ON TASTED WITH NOAH GALUTEN! That was my favorite (and only) subscribed food related channel! I'm happy to see that she's glowing like a queen like I remember. Much love!
Yep, it's me! The Royal Alcohol Taster, haha. Nice to see you in my neck of the YT woods.
Hey Ti, don't fret, Hawaiian Silky is a black owned business. It started in Mississippi.
+Cres ! Is that right? That's awesome, thanks!
shea moisture comes out with a new line every fucking month 😂😂😂😂
Okay. Can I just say that your videos are giving me LIFE! Betwee. this one and the new prepoo you made, I am getting my life TOGETHER. Thank you 😍😍
DOPENESS, love to hear that! xx
I think protein overload is probably what people mean by "sensitivity". Doing protein treatments too often, combined with protein rich products can cause breakage.
Totally agree! I wish they'd just rename that term, because it's misleading, IMO.
“...Jheri curl juice stains...” damn, I felt that 🙌🏾
I'd try that mix with aloe without the jojoba. Castor oil absorbs very well in the hair unlike jojoba that just sits on top to protect moisture already added. May work better applying jojoba separetly at the end to keep all dat moisture sealed in as well as a lovely shine 😊
YOU HAVE AMAZING SKIN!!! you are just absolutely beautiful and also super funny
When she mentioned the thing about Shea Moisture having a new product, " every fxcking month" I was cracking up! SO TRUE!
I finally tried the Hawaiian Silky gel and it's LIFE!! It's so moisturizing it has my frizzy edges (that can not be laid by any gel on 🌎) all curled up like legit baby hairs😭.But I can't find that big ass tub anywhere online and all the beauty supply places in my town only have the 8oz. Why did I wait so damn long to try it?!?!?
Love your sense of humor. Totally subscribed.
About washing your body with lotion : washing with oil is certainly a thing. I wash my face exclusively with cleansing oils. More importantly oil is the base of soap making- probably the first things our ancestors associated with cleansing. Doesn't work for everyone, but it does work. Currently I wash my hair with a mix of castor and sweet almond oil with some peppermint oil scrubbed into my scalp. Wash with very warm/ hot water; I have to add in coconut oil as a pre-poo because washing this way can be stripping. I own ACV but I'm too scared to make the transition from salad topping to hair ingredient. What does ACV actually do?
+adygirl13 I'm familiar with oil cleansing/the oil cleansing method for skin, and have tried it in the past, but that's really another topic entirely. In the video, I was talking about using conditioner in place of shampoo/"cowashing," not oil cleansing. Oil ≠ conditioner; and, for that matter, oil ≠ lotion, since I did make the analogy. Either way, it's nice that you found a oil cleansing method for your hair that works for you.
Among other things, apple cider vinegar helps to constrict the hair cuticles, because it is an acid. It therefore makes the cuticle lie more flat, aiding in shine-- and for me, detangling. Some people also say it clarifies the hair; however, the scientific evidence that I have read does not support ACV as a sufficient cleansing agent.
You are something else! You had me in stitches throughout the video. Love your feistiness! 😂😂. SUBSCRIBED!
Welcome to the fam!
Can you explain how you use the Hawaiian silky? Do you use it after you apply the burdock creme ?
Your complexion is fabulous! Thanks for the vid. new subbie
+yurika975 Welcome to the fam!
I have to shampoo also. It makes your hair strong. I use "miss Jackie's oh so clean" 😄

Dopeness! Glad you like it, too!
All things in moderation! Hair needs balance and that balance can vary from one head of hair to another. One person may not need nearly as much protein, water or oil as another.
Your realness and confidence is refreshing. #LoveIt && New Subbied

Hawaiian Silky makes stuff that makes you wanna buy it in bulk! I stocked up on their Miracle Worker 14-in-1.
Do you use aloe vera?
"Seems like a waste of whiskey"...subscribe LOL
I've been using the Shea Moisture Jamaican Castor Oil Shampoo and Conditioner and they do have so many products since they got a new partner with more money, but so glad they are still predominantly black owned. I thought I knew about natural products, but I'm really excited to try the products you listed.
This video has truly blessed my life! Thanks!! The Hawaiian silky gel is great!!
