    I think the most important things in natural hair care are:
    Diet - little discussed because it's not a magic pill, but your hair is unimportant in the hierarchy of the body. The scalp is one of the last things to receive nourishment. We can't eat poorly and expect great hair. Dry hair can mean deficiencies? Get your levels for vit d, iron etc checked. Drink water regularly.
    - Ingredients - know what your hair likes. As a 4c hi-po, I've tried all the major EXPENSIVE natural hair brands. A lot of them do nothing for me. My favourite leave-in is Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion. Yes, it's cheap, but keeps my hair soft for more than an hour unlike CR Curl Love or any other high priced thing. Pricey doesn't mean good, cheap doesn't mean bad. Don't discount old school brands.
    Porosity - v important. Green Beauty has videos on it so identify your porosity. Stop looking at YTers with similar hair to buy what she buys. It will change your routine for the better. 4c 3c 4a doesn't mean much in terms of hair care except obv when looking for curl definers or not (4c). Seek out low or high porosity advice then find YTers who match that if you must watch them for product recs.
    Water - get a good misting bottle. I use flairisol, but it's a little stronger to me. Esp with Summer coming up, you will need help during those hot, sunny days.
    Moisturising shampoo. The scalp needs to be kept clean and hair should be clean when you add product on wash days.
    Double moisturising- are you a 4c whose hair is dry after following all the necessary steps on wash day? This happens to me probably because I'm hi po. Product soaks in better on dry or damp hair, so I moisturise again in that state on wash day.
    Styling - protective styles which you have access to are best. Having loose hair in the elements on most days will encourage dryness. Try saving loose styles for weekends or closer to wash day.
    Trim - split hair is dry. It's better to get them cut off.
    Don't wash hair with hot water. Keep it barely lukewarm and try cold water as a final rinse. I mean cold. My hair is shinier for it. Let your hair drip dry onto a towel hung around the shoulders. No towelling or t shirt on the hair.
    Protein overload or missing moisture. Learn the difference because both can result in dry hair. This goes back to know your ingredients. Assess what your hair needs on wash day, not by what you think it should be.
    Some hair is just drier. Just because it's not like your YTer 'hair twins', doesn't mean it's hard and dry. We are overly exposed to an idea of 'perfect' natural hair, that gracefully falling, defined, juicy looking hair with a lot of product on it or the shiny 4c twist out. We just see groomed hair on YT not thr other daysin a week of their hair life.

      Charee Mason yes right on point - low porosity hair NEEDS heat! Once I started warming my liquid, creams and oils, using a heating cap for my deep conditioning -my hair game changed drastically. And adding steaming made it even better.

    • @DiscoveringNatural
      @DiscoveringNatural  6 лет назад +18

      Yes, I agree with Charee. Also check the ingredients in products you use. I have Low and medium porosity hair but I know that for some people, if they use products that have silicones, it can give that dry effect. Also, if you are not drinking enough water, you can have the same effect. Also how often do you moisturize? So many factors even your health and medication you take can cause the dry issue

      Next, what do you use to wash your hair? What shampoo? Are you not shampooing and only cowashing? It is possible you could have product buildup and your products are not penetrating well 👉🏽 bit.ly/DN_Clarifying_Natural_Hair

    Whenever I use water to moisturize (not washing), it leaves my hair rough. I deep condition weekly as well as do a hot oil treatment. It is also like that if I use my hair steamer. I use a leave-in and seal after but it just doesn't matter. It must be my water is too hard. I don't wet it anymore without shampooing. I think sometimes hair gets hard because so many products have tons of humectants in them. My hair can't take all the glycerin, propylene glycol, aloe and whatever else is in every product without getting tangled and dry. I now use a leave-in without them, apply hair grease, and my hair is much softer, much longer.

    • @DiscoveringNatural

      It is always important to do what works for your hair. As you can see, trying one method and then revamping it to suit your own hair has deemed fruitful.

      @mayachilisa18 6 лет назад +3

      Sounds like you may need to clarify your hair with an apple cider vinegar rinse, if your hair gets rough when water is used you likely have a lot of product build up from the the grease. Try the Acv rinse. Tons of videos on RUclips and it helped me with that same problem.

    I know for me the solution was using products that work consistently. Like my hair would not retain moisture if I kept changing products every wash day. I have 4c high porosity and thick creams and butters work best for me. Lighter thin products are only good as refreshers.

    I’ve also found that using products with parabens and silicone also makes your hair hard. I only use Lush’s avocado co wash for my hair and when I first started using it the build up from my old shampoo and conditioner regimens weighed down my hair big time, but eventually the build up got out of my hair, it looked awful going down the drain but worth it.

    I used to have dry crunchy hair no matter how much water I would spray into it daily. Then I started adding glycerin to my spray mix and that was the first best thing I did to my hair. The second one being sealing with cocoa butter, not much, very little. Those 2 make my hair really soft. But don't go overboard with glycerin or your hair will turn out mushy. I live in Cameroon in a very humid area so it works for me. Hope this helps someone struggling woth dry and crunchy hair.

    I just cut my hair two weeks ago and this is my problem right now! The back and sides of my hair stays moisturized just fine. The crown & front REFUSE to do anything but frizz up and be hard and dry. Serious curls all around and a (reeeally dry) undefined, super frizzy, hard fro at the top. It’s like my hair belongs to two different people. I clarified it and it doesn’t even feel clean anymore from all the leave ins I put in it, but I know washing it again will just make it MORE dry and frizzy. I just bought a shower filter thinking maybe it’s hard water. I’m frustrated. lol

      I used all that too with the same results. This winter I went back to Blue Magic hair grease. I shampoo, use Tresemme Curl Hydration conditioner as a leave-in, add the Blue Magic and twist and set on perm rods. No more single strand knots or dry hair. My hair is curly and stretched and the best its felt in a long time. To moisturize and reset, I just add a little conditioner and grease, twist and set on the rods again. Works like a charm. I am sooo happy.

    When you started speaking yoruba i subscribed and you’re right about the egg. People don’t know the diff between deep condition and protein treatment. When ppl use protein they have to deep condition because it leaves hair dry. I have high porosity hair so i need protein 😭. After i do the protein, i deep condition and then put shea butter. My hair gets so soft. It is unbelievable and when ever i need to re do a new style i spray water with castor oil and detangle, and it goes back to being so soft with barely any shedding ❤️.

      Kortney Golden I agree it takes time but for now hot oil treatments, and get a steamer!! Use the steamer with aussie moist or tresemme conditioner. Stay away from protein based shampoos and conditioners for now!! Also switch up your styling routine. My hair is so soft now. For the loc method I use avocado oil by now, tgin leave in and kinky curly curling custard. Slick your edges down also with the kinky curly curling custard. No eco, or nothing. Your hair will bounce back. I promise! And I am a licensed cosmetologist. Keep me posted my dear! Moisture, moisture, moisture!

Not sure if that's true, but I heard the fermentation is just too strong, which makes total sense. I have no desire to try it. If you are looking to grow your hair take biotin supplements although it made everything grow on me! Lol! Also jbco makes my hair grow but it does not mix well at all with the kccc! The molecules are too large.

    The number 1 reason Naturals have dry hair consistently? Chemicals in the products they use. Take it from me. I used to buy high quality hair products that had ingredients in them I couldn't pronounce. They would work wonders for my hair for a few weeks and then, wow, my hair would turn to straw. This happened over and over again. If you have very porous hair, you simply can't use products with chemicals because the chemicals go straight into your strands and ruin them. All that glitters is not gold. If your hair is consistently dry, nourish it with ALL natural products and put it in braids or twists for 2-4 weeks. Let it rest and recover. Never go back to the chemicals.
