    A big part of my current natural hair regimen is all about preserving my heat stretch and keeping my scalp clean and my hair moisturized for an extended period of time. It’s a balancing act that’s all about technique. But, please don’t feel pressure to copy this regimen verbdom. At the very least I hope there are a few things you learn that you can use to upgrade your current regimen, if needed.
    In PART 2 (posting next week Thursday), a lot of your questions will be answered.

      justin miller no she’s not smart with words, otherwise she wouldn’t have said African Americans produce a type of sebum. No such thing as African American hair, it’s type 4 hair perculiar to Africans and perhaps others of mixed races. Africans became Americans due to history and it’s a shame that it has suddenly become a badge of honour.

Maybe if more of them were like you and watched videos like this they could educate themselves without being so intrusive. 😉

    This is the best natural hair and skin channel I’ve ever come across. You’re so intelligent and give such detailed facts. I’ve found this channel over a month ago and IMMEDIATELY unsubscribed from 75% of other RUclipsrs 😂 Your hair typing system is SOOO ACCURATE because for months I couldn’t exactly pinpoint if my hair was 4b or 4c- it wasn’t tight enough to be considered 4c and it didn’t even seem as loose as those who said they had 4b hair. Your videos have taught me a lot. And your videos are done so well- they remind me of the PowerPoints I’d see in a university lecture 👍🏾 Thank you so much for taking time to educate us !

And usually the worst channels have the most subscribers. But no one is really putting in any effort to educate others about their hair, scalp, skin etc like this channel. This channel is the complete guide to having healthy hair.

    I don’t think she’s advising anyone not to cleans their scalp, she’s only sharing what she does to keep her hair stretched for the month. To each it’s own with this routine. I workout daily so I know i have to cleanse my scalp weekly. I still think it’s good information to know about the sebum and the terms she uses to scoop and spread the sebum through out the hair and that it’s possible to not need as much products to keep my hair moisturized I never knew about that, that’s why I think it’s great information. I’m open to trying it this method but because i want to eliminate the use of a lot of products. I workout regularly, and I know that not cleaning my scalp for a month probably wouldn’t work. Thanks green beauty for your videos they are an excellent resource.

    So i decided to not wash my hair the last month of me wearing braids. I used only rose water and glycerin and an oil along the hair shaft. i came to realize that sometimes our hair smells or gets dirty sooner because of the (long list of) ingredients in some of the products. so now that i've removed my braids, i use as few ingredients as possible and i don't put anything on my scalp......GREEN BEAUTY RULES!!!!!

    People still need to know more than just the texture and formation of their hair, which is where the whole letters and numbers people keep on quoting that doesn’t mean anything at all.

    Fascinating. Thank you for the information. My hair is Caucasian and only through watching AA haircare have I learned about how to protect my hair. We are told to brush gently to avoid breakage, but most other education is from products that are marketed to us. Since watching AA haircare videos, I've stopped using hair ties, avoid tension on the scalp and ends, and use more natural product.

  • @thedarknessofnana

    I started doing this to my TWA, along with washing my hair with water only, and withing a couple days, I noticed the difference. My hair (low porosity) is now extremely shining, healthier, and soft. My scalp issues are going away and healing since I am keeping the sebum from building up, as well. I only use a minimal amount of coconut oil with a few drops of tea tree oil massaged into my scalp, and my scalp seems to appreciate the less-is-more approach.
    My hair hasn’t been this healthy in years, maybe even decades (I’m 30). I’m still baffled that my hair is happy with simply water and a bit of oil.😂
    Every day in the morning (and sometimes the evening if need be), I take off my bonnet and start massaging my scalp to scoop and spread the sebum that accumulated overnight (I have a moderately oily scalp), and I can feel my hair go from stiff and slightly dry to super plush and easy to detangle. It’s great.
    And my hair used to be perpetually dry and tangle with single strand knots... I think it was due to product build up and overmanipulation.
    Thank you for your informative videos! You’re really helping us to help ourselves permanently!

    Wow! I’ve been doing the same thing for 3/4 months. Just on intuition. Used to do this years ago while I was in the bathtub. The warm water loosens the sebum and it glides easier down the strands. Now I use water and aloe juice warmed up in a spray bottle. When I need oil I use a castor/jojoba blend which is also warmed. I have less tangled and softer hair that breaks less and is glossy. I massage with my pads of my fingers and spread it. My fingers and nails benefit too, stronger and smoother. Love your channel and your products 💕

I have noticed a major difference and have gained hair growth, w/less breakage, and my scalp is not itchy or dry anymore, but oily from my natural sebum! Water-washing in the shower daily must be causing my sebum to spread. I seriously love your videos!

    I'm trying this! It's been 3 days since I washed my hair and I noticed my hair makes a a good amount of sebum. I did the smell test and there was no smell at all, but my fingers were really glossy and moisturized. I think the smell-free comes from being product- free and ph-balanced. The only "product" I put on my hair post wash near my roots has been aloe + distilled water mixture which has a ph of about 4.5. The day after wash day I added a small amount of castor oil to my ends for extra protection. I was initially very afraid to be so minimal with my products like I would have dull dry breaking hair. But to the contrary, my hair feels soft, is shiny, has elongation, definition and most importantly very manageable and tangle-free. I detangled my hair very thoroughly prior to shampooing it and twisted it up. Then I washed my hair in twists, and experienced no matting or tangling at all when I went to re-twist after washing and hair was the most defined and detangled I'd ever seen it be! I was pleasantly surprised. Easiest shortest wash day ever. I used mane choice detangling shampoo and did a natural rinse-out conditioner that contained hydrolyzed keratin, which may have had something to do with that. But yeah, so far so good.

    I don't think I have any sebum. Like none. My scalp is positively arid. If I put oil on my scalp, the oil will be gone in two days.

    • @MeeMeesArtyParty
      @MeeMeesArtyParty 6 лет назад +56

      Lightly spritz water/aloe Vera mix on your scalp nightly. IMO I think my sebrum hardens, block my pores from secreting more sebrum and leads to dry scalp and hair. The water loosens it and allows it to spread when doing the method she is describing above. Think of ear wax. Some people's will flow out freely and others have to flush with water to soften and loosen.

    • @shansbo217

      Apple Cidar vinegar and baking soda wash rinse, then condition add aloe peppermint and coconut oil to your conditioner; leave on for 10 minutes rinse then towel dry Apply leave in cream conditioner and oil braid in 4 sections and sit under hood dryer for 30 minutes, heat helps the moisture get in there !
      If you’re wearing it natural, In between washes, daily spritz with warm aloe water and oil

    I understand this is a method for people who have sensitive skin and allergies. I cannot use this method. I went years without washing or cowashing my hair regularly due to my ignorance about type 4 hair. Now that i cowash and shampoo regularly I'm in and out of the shower within 20 minutes, compared to the hours or days that it used to take detangling and washing my hair. I'm never going back to that. I'd rather cowash my hair daily for 20 minutes a day vs spending hours on my hair once or twice a month. At the end of th day its about doing whats best for your own head of hair. Your hair is luscious and beautiful, so clearly, what you're doing is working for you.

      I used to have the same problem and itchy buildup until I stopped putting heavy oils on my scalp. Now that I started using light oils like jojoba, my scalp is way happier. I put the least amount possible and it's a good alternative to natural sebum.

  • @40EntrepreneurDrive
    @40EntrepreneurDrive 5 лет назад

    I scratch my scalp often while massaging, but usually discard what I considered to be build-up even though I don't use products regularly. I never considered dispersing the sebum down along the shaft of the hair.brilliant.!

  • @nylorac1984
    @nylorac1984 6 лет назад

    I think I may have done this technique years ago when I use to wear braided extentions for months. I barely used any products and did not wash often so my sebum was doing all the heavy lifting. These days I admit to being in love with the suds, but I think this technique would be perfect for wearing long-term protective styles especially my mini twist which tend to mat and loc if water touches them. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of your techniques. The more tools, skills and knowledge we have for caring for our natural hair the better.

    This really works. I'm in the 4th week of trying this method, and I can't believe it but my scalp isn't itchy. My hair looks nice and I don't have to dry it out frequently with shampoo anymore. Thanks a lot.
    EDIT: Just a note that of course, this method is not for everyone. It works for me because my scalp is always dry. If I don't put oil on it, it just stays dry, and of course usiing shampoo actually makes it drier, which caused itching previously. So I think with fine type 4 hair and a dry scalp, this will be a lifesaver. If you have an oily scalp, then maybe not, you'd need the shampoo.

  • @Rose-qj6eq
    @Rose-qj6eq 6 лет назад +123

    A lot of people in this thread are grossed out by the thought of not washing their hair and it’s weird. The way our hair is set up you could simply go years without washing your hair, it’s still practiced to this day in many countries and their scalps aren’t flaky, itchy, and gross with build up. Y’all just use too many products in your hair lol. Not referring to those who actually have dandruff from a skin condition.
    But I’ve personally witnessed this from experience. I used to have to scratch giant patches of dandruff from my hair when I was younger, washing my hair every week, using all these different products with all these foreign ingredients because they smelled good and someone on the internet said it was the bomb... It was a mess. Then I cut my hair and just went full blown lazy 😂. I go weeks without washing my hair, don’t put any heat on it. The most I do to style it if I’m not wearing it out is buns, a puff, or two braids. I only use pure natural products, the kind you gotta melt down before using, and I don’t personally massage or oil my scalp and my hair does perfectly on its own. Even after I have my hair in braids or another protective style in for months I don’t get that nasty build up at the roots (Yes I do still wash it anyway). And I’ve been told on many different occasions that my hair always smells good.
    My point is, it’s not gross to not wash our hair at all. Let your hair do what it was made to do and you’ll be just fine. If you choose to wash your hair regularly and do whatever it is that you do, that’s also fine! But don’t sit here and act like it’s disgusting to go a longer period of time without washing your hair. You sound ignorant. Like people who think co-washes are disgusting because you’re not using shampoo.

    I do this!! But this method is useless to me without the help of my hair being drenched in water.. My sebum is stubborn!! I wash after a while though because my hair can get over-coated and it turns white. When I do wash I use Castile soap because it doesn’t strip my hair at all, just gets rid of the excess oil, sebum and leaves a nice amount.
    Using this method has helped me learn my hair. So much so, that no one else can tell me more about my hair than I can.
