I remember specifically asking a stylist how often I should get my hair trimmed if I'm trying to grow it out. She told me every 2 weeks!! What?? I never went back to her again.
Michelle 007 good for you , sometimes stylist are only interested in the money , also some stylist are not versatile when it comes to dealing with various texture hair, most times they are use to perms
Michelle 007 that’s wonderful, I have only had bad experiences ( my edges have been snatched, stylist using fine tooth combs in my hair while complaining how thick and coarse , nappy my hair is, over processed perms etc) going to salons so I do my hair at home
As a 35y old suffered with dry crunchy Brittle supper tough kinky hair, discovering all I needed was water and not expensive product!! I'm now natural for life.. God gave me jet black hair thankfully
Out of all these natural community youtube blogs and natural hairdressers online. In my nine years as a natural I learned from him in watching a few videos. I wish he could do my hair.
I just found him and he changed my entire head with ONE video! My hair is healthier, softer, has more defined curls and moisturized. All I had to do was GO BACK to co-washing every day. My kinky curly 4B hair needs that moisture. I followed another YT’er and my hair started breaking, was always dry and dull. Dickey changed my life!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I stopped relaxing my hair 7-8 years ago and I have been fully frustrated this entire time. My hair is healthier but, I have never learned to style my natural hair in a way that made me comfortable, feel like me or feel comfortable at work or navigating my personal life. This led me to wear wigs or 2-strand twists most of this time. Further, wash day has literally been an all day process and this led me to wash it less (every 3-6 weeks) instead of more often. My job keeps me traveling most of the time so, I never had time to experiment and figure out styles, products and processes. I tried a wash & go once or twice and it was awful. My hair like most is multi-textured, soft and curly in the back and less so as you move to the front. I also thought I had very low porosity hair because my hair held no moisture. If I washed while in the shower it was almost dry by the time I got out. Well, I have been working from home the past 3 weeks so, this seemed like a good time to take you at your word and try going under the water at least every other day. All I can tell you is that I don't know who's hair I have on my head right now! Previously when I washed my hair it shed like you wouldn't believe, locked and tangled. NOW it is a full 180!. When I go under the water my hair barely reverts. It doesn't kink, clump or tangle and there's very little shedding. The comb glides through with little resistance. I only use leave-in/detangler for the conditioning quality, not because I need a detangler to comb it. My hair holds so much moisture now it's ridiculous and my full wash and condition process takes barely longer than it takes me to do my shower. The results are astounding! Who knew that my hair was revolting against me all these years and would love water this much or that going under the water several times a week was the key to alleviating all of the issues that made wash day such a burden in the first place?!? I'm still mind blown. I hope more people will listen to you preach the gospel of the importance of WATER as your #1 moisturizer. I'm not saying everyone will have the same 180 change the way I did but, I can tell you that water has become the game changer for me, even with my busy lifestyle. I haven’t yet met with a full wash and go that works but, I simply do my wash at night, I put a few large sections in large 2 strand twists and when I get up I have the most beautiful, simple, soft, ready to go head of hair. This will allow me to continue even through the winter. My daughter and I are planning a trip to New York so we can visit your salon. THANK YOU!!!
I honestly love you man, making me think about my hair in a completly different way. I've been binge watching your videos all night lol!! Keep rocking! ♥️♥️
Dickey, thank you for showing love to us 4c ladies. I value your guidance on how to care for my super dry 4 c hair. I now choose water and shrinkage over stretched and brittle.
Regarding hair breakage: "So don't get a haircut, it's gon' break off!" Dickey purses lips, lol 😂! Such a true statement, and I need to listen because my hair has 'kicked back' at me a few times!
Hello Jerome, that tip about blowing out the hair was a game changer for me. While I blew my hair out I found that when I added more leave in conditioner and aragan oil to the hair especially the ends, my hair felt so amazing and it stayed moist longer. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I’ve been watching your videos for a week now and finally get it! My hair loves conditioner! I an in dry Colorado and have been keeping my hair moisturized w water conditioner and a blend of oil (applied warmed) my natural hair is finally happy! Thank you! Subscribed now
It did help!!! I’ve been hearing this story about natural hair doesn’t need to be cut as often as other hair since forever! You put a lot into perspective for me, thank you🙏🙏
Hi Dickey, Thanks for sharing and really loving your advice. Have five other sisters an none of there hair has the problems I have faces. My hair was never long, never thick/full like the others. Truth be told I'm just like million other women around the world who has never embraced their natural hair texture. So after two years of chasing length and felling at it, I now truly have learned to embrace my natural texture. Thanks again for you wisdom on natural hair.Be blessed.
I do the shower thing,wetting my hair daily.i call it the"shake n go" lol. And i dont have to put any product on my hair because i hydrate it daily. I love it and so does my hair. Products are optional for me yey!!
I must say that since I’ve started my growing journey I have not had a single trim and my hair is just getting longer and stronger but I am on it daily !
I know what you say is true, I just had my hair cut at 4months and it was breaking and tangled. I have just started daily wash and goes so next summer I expect long and healthy hair.
Hi Dickey I think there should be a category 5 type of hair added to your chart as I think there is another hair quality being totally ignored? Have you worked with the type of hair that I would class as a type 5? Extremely tight, feels and looks dense, no shine, looks really dry but probably isn’t, the perimeter is peppered with ‘knot curls’ almost repels water? I’ve not seen this hair getting any attention online.
This was great and I just cut off a little more than 3 inches total this month. At first, I thought I could only cut a little to get the ends, but DANGIT... I had so many split ends and single strand knots that were hiding!!! 😡 So, a bob as a cute style to get back on track! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I keep the light behind me as I look in the mirror to find the hidden splits/knotted strands 🙈
How am I just finding out about your channel today! I needed you since I've come out of the womb. I have some dry ass, thin, weak, tangled hair that I have been hiding under weaves and braids for years...which embarrassingly I would only wash my stanky hair every 3 to 4 months. I got a cut 4 years ago and my hair is stuck at my jaw line. I am going to follow your advice and hopefully visit you. But if you should every come to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada my hair strands will be longing for your healing hands to save them.
@@kaydeep7880 hello!!! My hair has made it to my collar bone!! And I've shared some of Dickey's hair care regimes to my mom and her hair is definitely softer and more manageable
Hey Dickey, thanks for your VERY informative videos!!! Question, are Deva cuts, or simply trimming single strand knots from your hair during the styling process, adequate for routine trimming to help retain length? And if not, is blow-drying 4c hair straight necessary to give an adequate trim?
Yes! I was talking with my sister the other day about naturally oily hair and naturally dryer hair! My niece is mixed so she’s trying to workout the best way to manage her hair which seems straight right now and somewhat curly at the ends!
Dicky I have straight- kinky hair. My hair is not in your scale. Some of my hairs grow 3-4 cm straight and then comes a kink. Some come kinky and after 2cm grow it becomes straight. Some are completely straight, some of them are kinky. It is very dry and I think it is fine. What am I? Both parents Caucasian. One great great grandmother was African. What do I do? I have short hair.
Mr. Dickey your knowledge and expertise are amazing! What you say makes sense, after rediscovering the wash n go your way I'm coming back to all your videos
This was a great video on hair care tips! So to trim or not to trim that is the question?? I am reminded to trim my hair every 3 months and that my hair will do what it wants to do weather I trim it or not.
Go dickey Go Go Go! Every time I washed blow dry then curl my hair, it will be soft and bouncy because I would bathe it in moisture oils and serums before setting or blow drying. My hairdresser will always do the opposite and it would be dry and lack luster. This is true even if my hair is natural or permed. Got to work on timely cuts. 💇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the tips about how often to get a trim. I have been natural (4 category) about two years. My stylist told me I should get my hair trimmed every 6 weeks! Now I know why I I don’t see any growth 🙄
I found you today, and you are the best 😆. A friend from the USA told me about you, she one of your client. I’m living in France, but it will be a great pleasure to come do my natural hair in your salon. Could you advise how to get your products. Lots to love
Oh yes Dickey right on time as usual! Question: I recently went to get a haircut but barber took off way more than "quarter of an each" (my hair had grown so much 🤗)...now it's back short again yuck 😒,. Should I switch barbers, I only asked for a trim???
So I have a dilemma : I'm a type 4 Natural, high porosity with fine and medium strands but I have a naturally oily scalp. How do I address the oily scalp but dry hair strands? I wash twice a week and I always do a pre poo overnight before washing.
what about us ladies that have thinning/ male bald pattern or alopecia what would be good to do with the hair that is a twa can't just use shampoos or some oils which brake out the scalp, and leave bumps which is painful? just a question.. Thank you for the video information..smiles
Dickey I have the kinky tight curl so when I wash it the hair shrinks up so that it looks like I don’t have much. So my question is: how can I get it to loosen up or to train it to hang because I’m 67 now with white hair and I want that natural full curly look.
WAIT A MINUTE!!! When I get out of the shower I usually put my protective style in damp or wet. Holy moly. I was trying to avoid the heat cause so many, people say to keep the heat out of your hair. I thought that doing protective styling on your hair when it's damp is better. Oops. So since I have 4 type hair I need to stretch it before I do it. Well dag-gone. Next, can you do a video on the best drug store conditioners to use for co-washing? I would use yours, but it is always sold out.
Not sure where we leave the question for theses episodes but how do us curly girls restore damage to the crown of our head due to the environment. Such as sun damage
Can I just say that I love the advice you give in general. However, that bit where you said don't trim and it's gonna break off is just not true and I don't know what the fascination is with trimming. don't get me wrong I'm not trying to tell you your job, but I've had this conversation soo many times with people and their like "if you don't trim your hair it won't grow" and they're so adamant about it, mean while their is shoulder length-ish maybe a little bit longer or shorter and my hair is nearer my ass. So the point that I'm making is I don't get urge to trim or be trimmed to have healthy hair when I don't trim ever and everyone tells me how healthy my hair looks, in fact when I tell people I've never had a trim they can't believe it because my hair looks healthy.
So, I haven't had a trim in about a year. 😕😑 I left my crochet faux locs in for 4 months and I got CRAZY length from it, and I just.... don't....want...to...lose...it. Because I'm going to have to cut about 3 inches off. Which puts me back to point A. Sigh.
Hey Dickey, I switched back to a relaxer a couple month ago after being natural for about 5 years. My natural and relaxed hair is always shedding. What can I do to help the shedding now that I'm back to using a relaxer, again?
I love these videos, short and to the point. My 4c hair is responding very well to the “every other day wash and go”. I have one issue, how to dry my thick hair faster? Drying at night means my curls flatten and I don’t get to wear my fresh curls. Air drying during the day means my hair is wet for the next 12 hours! Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have been doing the same thing and my hair has improved tremendously. My hair use to be so dry. Now my curls are so defined. I sit under a dryer for 20-30 minutes.
@@keannaivey8046 what about when you travel? Do you take your hooded dryer with you? I've seen caps that you can attach to blow dryers, wonder if they are effective.
So... I have kinky, coily hair, super thick hair - like hair type 4d or 4f!!! LOL. So how do I wash/moisturize it everyday w/o spending time under a dryer or blow drying because it takes 48 hours to dry? Thanks to your method, I now have the definition I was always trying to attain (Thank you!!!). However, because I have thick, kinky hair after washing or moisturizing it may take forever for my hair to dry and this equates time. How can I maximize my time while managing and taking care of my hair? Let's face it, 4c hair that is thick takes time to dry. I am currently wearing my hair shaved around the perimeter with hair on top, and my hair still takes forever to dry! Thanks again because until I saw your video, I thought I was going to wear my hair short for the rest of my life! I will never have long hair because I'm not patient and... I love short hair.
I'm trying to give this natural hair thing a try but it's not working. I'm in transitioning from a perm and my hair does not like it. I have salt and pepper hair and it stays dry. I know my hair dont like olive oil or coconut oil. What tip do you have for natural dry and none curly hair?
Awwwwe that’s sweet and so sincere. Look at my lip! Lolol thats my line Dickey😂😂😂 Question? What’s the difference between conditioner and deep conditioner? Seriously cuz I use Pantene or even Vo5, does it matter?
Dickey, I have kinky hair from the back of my ears back. My sides are not kinky but they tangle. The top (belongs to my Indian ancestry) has no curl pattern at all, it is neither kinky nor does it tangle. What can I do with it, do you have any ideas?
Thank you for all the information. Question: I’m 4b natural and recently started daily wngs. Can you talk about how various drying techniques affect the finished look such as wrapping hair in T-shirt before getting under hooded dryer; adding oil before diffusing; stretching when roots are still slightly damp; optimal temps and dryer speed for stretching, manipulating hair during diffusing. The top layer of my hair always frizzes. Thanks
Ronnie B Drying my hair after a midweek wash and go is a challenge for me as well. I’m type 4 and I want my hair to be at least 80% dry when I go to bed. I’ve tried letting my curls set for 30 minutes and sitting under a hooded dryer for about 30 to 45 minutes, but my roots are still pretty damp and I end up having to diffuse my roots. I would like an easier, more effective process for drying my hair.
Ronnie B it takes forever for my roots to dry. I can air dry for 8 hours and my roots still be dry. Sitting under a hooded hair dryer only dries the outside of my hair and then I have to diffuse. The diffuser I have is the one that came with the hair dryer and I’ve came to the conclusion that imma need a diffuser that can cover more surface area. I’ve tried the T-shirt( plopping) and that makes my hair frizzy. Also, I’m a type four kinky coily and if I chose to wet my hair everyday in the shower and condition all is good but when it comes to a styler, my styler is a gel. So I always add a leave in conditioner then a gel. Now I’m trynna wet my hair every two days, I wish I could use a good styling cream that can define my coils instead of gel. Back when I was doing my hair out of the shower, using gel wasn’t so bad but now that I’m trynna incorporate my hair routine with my shower routine I need a leave in that can act as a styler too. Basically I need a product that can double as a leave in and define my coils. Any suggestions?
buttrpecan9 I’m having all the same issues as you related to drying and I have yet to find a styler that works really well without gel. I’ve tried a bunch of stylers and most leave my hair dull or frizzy. If you find something that works let me know.
Started seeing Dickey about a month ago. After daily or every two day WNGs, I find I don't even need gel. I use either his Curly Whip or Shea Moisture coconut and hibiscus styling milk. Some days I add a little mousse on top but other days nothing but the styler and I get compliments in NY! The trick is using enough product. I probably use about 1/4 to 1/3 of a bottle every time I do my hair, but my hair is collarbone length and super thick. Hope that helps!
Does the leave in conditioner you use when blowing out your hair for a twist out have to have silicones in it? Will the oils like grapeseed oil be enough to protect you from heat damage?
Silicone isn’t bad, it will protect your hair from the heat. Smoke point of oil is the same temp you are straightening at. That’s going to fry your hair. Maybe add an oil for sheen after you straighten but not much
Mr Dickey if i have prepped my hair for protective styling ie, washed dc leave in moistuizer and put in twists. Is it ok to wet hair while in twists after a week as a rehydration method if i am keeping them in for a couple weeks? Im 3bc4a
My daughter is almost 2 years old. She is black with natural red hair 4a 4c she has a ton of single strand knots should i cut them out as i see them or leave them alone?
I remember specifically asking a stylist how often I should get my hair trimmed if I'm trying to grow it out. She told me every 2 weeks!! What?? I never went back to her again.
You would be bald headed, some of these stylist don’t know what they are doing and that’s why I started doing my own hair
Michelle 007 good for you , sometimes stylist are only interested in the money , also some stylist are not versatile when it comes to dealing with various texture hair, most times they are use to perms

WAIT A MINUTE!!! When I get out of the shower I usually put my protective style in damp or wet. Holy moly. I was trying to avoid the heat cause so many, people say to keep the heat out of your hair. I thought that doing protective styling on your hair when it's damp is better. Oops. So since I have 4 type hair I need to stretch it before I do it. Well dag-gone. Next, can you do a video on the best drug store conditioners to use for co-washing? I would use yours, but it is always sold out.
Not sure where we leave the question for theses episodes but how do us curly girls restore damage to the crown of our head due to the environment. Such as sun damage
Can I just say that I love the advice you give in general. However, that bit where you said don't trim and it's gonna break off is just not true and I don't know what the fascination is with trimming. don't get me wrong I'm not trying to tell you your job, but I've had this conversation soo many times with people and their like "if you don't trim your hair it won't grow" and they're so adamant about it, mean while their is shoulder length-ish maybe a little bit longer or shorter and my hair is nearer my ass. So the point that I'm making is I don't get urge to trim or be trimmed to have healthy hair when I don't trim ever and everyone tells me how healthy my hair looks, in fact when I tell people I've never had a trim they can't believe it because my hair looks healthy.
I need you in my hair life to get me all the way together!!!
Omg too funny. Especially the side eye 👀comment regarding not trimming your ends.😂😂😂
Amen I finally understand. You are amazing.
So, I haven't had a trim in about a year. 😕😑 I left my crochet faux locs in for 4 months and I got CRAZY length from it, and I just.... don't....want...to...lose...it. Because I'm going to have to cut about 3 inches off. Which puts me back to point A. Sigh.
Hey Dickey, I switched back to a relaxer a couple month ago after being natural for about 5 years. My natural and relaxed hair is always shedding. What can I do to help the shedding now that I'm back to using a relaxer, again?
Thank you Dickey! You are thee man!
Always informative. 🤗🤗
I love these videos, short and to the point. My 4c hair is responding very well to the “every other day wash and go”. I have one issue, how to dry my thick hair faster? Drying at night means my curls flatten and I don’t get to wear my fresh curls. Air drying during the day means my hair is wet for the next 12 hours! Any suggestions would be helpful.
He recommends sitting under a dryer. I bought one at the local beauty supply and use it on occasion when I want my hair to be dry by dinner time 🤣
I have been doing the same thing and my hair has improved tremendously. My hair use to be so dry. Now my curls are so defined. I sit under a dryer for 20-30 minutes.
What hooded dryer do you recommend that's budget friendly?
@@keannaivey8046 what about when you travel? Do you take your hooded dryer with you? I've seen caps that you can attach to blow dryers, wonder if they are effective.
binge watchingggg
Is it good to shampoo 4c hair once a week and cowash 2-3x's during week?
Maybe that's why I need to do a blowout and a trim hmm. I did a protein treatment today I will try the blowout too
So... I have kinky, coily hair, super thick hair - like hair type 4d or 4f!!! LOL. So how do I wash/moisturize it everyday w/o spending time under a dryer or blow drying because it takes 48 hours to dry? Thanks to your method, I now have the definition I was always trying to attain (Thank you!!!). However, because I have thick, kinky hair after washing or moisturizing it may take forever for my hair to dry and this equates time. How can I maximize my time while managing and taking care of my hair? Let's face it, 4c hair that is thick takes time to dry. I am currently wearing my hair shaved around the perimeter with hair on top, and my hair still takes forever to dry! Thanks again because until I saw your video, I thought I was going to wear my hair short for the rest of my life! I will never have long hair because I'm not patient and... I love short hair.
I'm trying to give this natural hair thing a try but it's not working. I'm in transitioning from a perm and my hair does not like it. I have salt and pepper hair and it stays dry. I know my hair dont like olive oil or coconut oil. What tip do you have for natural dry and none curly hair?
Awwwwe that’s sweet and so sincere. Look at my lip! Lolol thats my line Dickey😂😂😂
Question? What’s the difference between conditioner and deep conditioner? Seriously cuz I use Pantene or even Vo5, does it matter?
Thank you I am looking for a good co-wash product that I can buy at a beauty supply store can someone help me?
Ahhhh where did you go? I just found your channel
Love your videos. Miss your videos. 😍😍
Dickey, I need so much help with my natural hair. I have no idea what to do with it.
I wish I lived in your state so you could be my hairdresser. I love your information,straight to the point. Thank you so much. ❤
Dickey, I have kinky hair from the back of my ears back. My sides are not kinky but they tangle. The top (belongs to my Indian ancestry) has no curl pattern at all, it is neither kinky nor does it tangle. What can I do with it, do you have any ideas?
So much knowledge, applying everything he says to my hair routine & regimen ❤️❤️
Thank you for all the information. Question: I’m 4b natural and recently started daily wngs. Can you talk about how various drying techniques affect the finished look such as wrapping hair in T-shirt before getting under hooded dryer; adding oil before diffusing; stretching when roots are still slightly damp; optimal temps and dryer speed for stretching, manipulating hair during diffusing. The top layer of my hair always frizzes. Thanks
Ronnie B Drying my hair after a midweek wash and go is a challenge for me as well. I’m type 4 and I want my hair to be at least 80% dry when I go to bed. I’ve tried letting my curls set for 30 minutes and sitting under a hooded dryer for about 30 to 45 minutes, but my roots are still pretty damp and I end up having to diffuse my roots. I would like an easier, more effective process for drying my hair.
Ronnie B it takes forever for my roots to dry. I can air dry for 8 hours and my roots still be dry. Sitting under a hooded hair dryer only dries the outside of my hair and then I have to diffuse. The diffuser I have is the one that came with the hair dryer and I’ve came to the conclusion that imma need a diffuser that can cover more surface area. I’ve tried the T-shirt( plopping) and that makes my hair frizzy. Also, I’m a type four kinky coily and if I chose to wet my hair everyday in the shower and condition all is good but when it comes to a styler, my styler is a gel. So I always add a leave in conditioner then a gel. Now I’m trynna wet my hair every two days, I wish I could use a good styling cream that can define my coils instead of gel. Back when I was doing my hair out of the shower, using gel wasn’t so bad but now that I’m trynna incorporate my hair routine with my shower routine I need a leave in that can act as a styler too. Basically I need a product that can double as a leave in and define my coils. Any suggestions?

buttrpecan9 I’m having all the same issues as you related to drying and I have yet to find a styler that works really well without gel. I’ve tried a bunch of stylers and most leave my hair dull or frizzy. If you find something that works let me know.
Started seeing Dickey about a month ago. After daily or every two day WNGs, I find I don't even need gel. I use either his Curly Whip or Shea Moisture coconut and hibiscus styling milk. Some days I add a little mousse on top but other days nothing but the styler and I get compliments in NY! The trick is using enough product. I probably use about 1/4 to 1/3 of a bottle every time I do my hair, but my hair is collarbone length and super thick. Hope that helps!
Amazing.
Hey Mr. Dickey, I wish you were my personal hair stylist.😏😏😏
Thank you!
I love you And thank you for helping me to love my hair!
Thanks 😊
Does the leave in conditioner you use when blowing out your hair for a twist out have to have silicones in it? Will the oils like grapeseed oil be enough to protect you from heat damage?
Silicone isn’t bad, it will protect your hair from the heat. Smoke point of oil is the same temp you are straightening at. That’s going to fry your hair. Maybe add an oil for sheen after you straighten but not much
Random question Dickey: how are you supposed to apply deep conditioner on type four hair? On soaking wet or damp hair?
Soaking wet always.
hairrules Thank you!
Mr Dickey if i have prepped my hair for protective styling ie, washed dc leave in moistuizer and put in twists. Is it ok to wet hair while in twists after a week as a rehydration method if i am keeping them in for a couple weeks? Im 3bc4a
aqua fina he did a video about that a while back you should really check it out. It makes a difference.
I would refresh my twists but wouldn't thoroughly wet them as shed hair and water can cause tangles. At least that's the case with me.
I wanna go for a cut now but my country banned salons😭😭
what if i have relaxed hair and want to go natural? do i have to cut it off?
You can transition and slowly cut off the relaxed ends or you can do the big chop.
Leave those rotten teeth just whiten them. Lol
😂
I died laughing on that. It’s so true though
🤣
Dickey is the GOD of hair! Amen
My daughter is almost 2 years old. She is black with natural red hair 4a 4c she has a ton of single strand knots should i cut them out as i see them or leave them alone?
I would just cut them, thats what I do
@@vee3133 there is so many i have to work on detangling her hair more gently
@@crystalv7945 ok. Do you finger detangle her hair first or go straight in with the comb?
@@vee3133 straight in with the comb
