I went back to loc method using Blue Magic Hair grease, shea butter blend and creamy leave in. My hair is growing like crazy now, no setbacks, my hair is thick and healthy. I love the Indian Hemp and Hair food by Blue Magic. Old school works, and let's not talk about the $2.99 a tub.💕💕💕
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for a longgggggggg time and Megz is a hair care guru. You helped put a lot of girls on, including me, with QP mango butter, glycerin, rosewater, jojoba oil, castor oil, ORS products, S-Curl moisturizer, V05 strawberries and cream conditioner, etc. I even remember when you had Ashley make a few features lol 😂 Love that you’re still dropping gems 💎💕🫶🏾
Yesssssss I remember the good ole days. They must also bring back some of those amazing products, especially the herbal essence long-term relationship! Thank you so much for your continued support! *hugs* :)
I like to use a tiny amount of Mizani Rosewater Hairdress from mid-strands to ends. If I have a little chi silk infusion I'll add about three drops to each side. Then I either pin it up the way you have here or I might set it with four flexi-rods...tends to come out soft and bouncy.
It never left my house. It left my scalp but not my ends especially in winter and when I need a trim...It saves my sanity!! Tomorrow is wash day and some sort of oil, butter, grease or silicone is going on my ends because I need a trim real bad!!
Thanks Meg for always being so open and transparent about your setbacks. Been following you since 2011 when I first learned to stretch relaxers and I've always loved your tips. ❤
Meg your hair is looking good. Definitely eating well, vitamins, exercise and moisturization all contribute to healthy hair growth. I am starting to think, regarding my hair, it's not really the brand of product its the consistency of being gentle, washing my hair often and light oil almond and the castor oil on my ends. Just need to be consistent with my scalp messages.
You've been giving is great content for so long that I'll never fault you for taking time for yourself. I don't really moisturize and seal, but I use the Amika dream routine overnight hydration treatment, and I love it. It keeps my hair moisturized for a couple of days, and I like that it's lightweight. Your hair looks really good. 💜
Aw, Thank you so much! I've been basically creating content online since I was 14, so the 2023 break was definitely needed this year, social media-wise and for my personal well-being. Still, I'm happy to be taking my time and returning to feeling GOOD! I've been hearing some fantastic things about that treatment and need to check it out because it sounds really good!
U ain't lie'n! The moisturizer is a GAME CHANGER! For real!!!! My hair is softer and moisturized. A little goes a long way. Oh! The Geritol video helped me so much. I was extremely iron deficient. I'm taking vitamins and taking care of my overall health. I've been seeing an extreme difference in my hair. I want my hair to grow back.
Girl my hair grows the exact same way, it’s like a natural layered style, I gotta a friend and her hair grows like a blunt bob, but I’m loving my Prince Charming cut😂
@@ulovemegz Yes. This was right on time. I want to wear my hair blow dried and braided this winter and was thinking about moisturizing and sealing. Thanks!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hi Megz! Love it when you upload! I just learned that sealing lots of oil and butter for moisture in my hair possibly led to moisture overload cause I was treating my relaxed hair as if it was non-relaxed! I have more to learn on my hair journey like how my low-porosity hair doesn’t go well with proteins, so excited to receive Olaplex in the mail and be in a new relaxed journey. Looking forward to seeing more of your journey!
I recently saw this hair dress in store and was considering it now I am sold - thanks for the lovely video. I have been misting my hair with water before I M&S and there is definitely a difference in how my hair retains moisture
Yessss I love misting also it works great! I saw it in the beauty supply store and was like let me spin the block in this because it always worked great!
What's up, Megz?! I'm a longtime subbie 👋🏽 I'll go out on a limb here and request maybe some lookbook videos? Not often, maybe 4 times a year or so, where you can show an outfit and, hair and/or makeup look for different things (i.e. holiday party, date night, interview look, casual day look) 😊
Glad these work well for you. ORS products (these 2 moisturizers and the boxed relaxer) have causes me a lot of breakage, shedding and constant greasiness and heaviness regardless the amount of product used...
There are only 3-sometimes 4 products I use on a regular basis after I shampoo (every 3 days). I'm an LCO method girl just because it makes sense to me that using the oil(s) last is going to seal-in moisture better than anything else. I use Camille Rose Honey Hydrate Leave-In Conditioner, African Pride Olive Miracle Anti-Breakage Conditioner Cream, and the African Pride Hair Moisture Miracle Strengthen and Protect 5 Essential Oils. These have been working wonders for my hair type and I'll switch them up if that ever changes. I also use the African Pride or As I Am Pre-Poo for wash days when I need extra moisture. Pretty basic, but the shampoos and rinse-out conditioners are where I switch-up and try new things on the regular.
This video is right on time! I've been watching your channel for years now. My hair is so dry due to being soooo busy. Keep making videos when possible. I love them ❤
Same here. I suffered a set back due to iron deficiency and then I got really depressed so I stopped taking care of myself let alone my hair. So this is motivating me to get back on track
Thanks for the vid! Imma try this one out for sure! Ive been having a bit of trouble with the front of my hair: split ends have been trying to ruin my journey. Funny enough, the split ends ARE ONLY AT THE FRONT!!! My nape is beautiful and grows out lovely consistently. I've been doing dusting and a liytle trimming on my own where the split ends are concerned. Im not sure I have gotten THE moisturizer as yet, though. I will definitely try what you suggested in the video. Would you have any videos on how to grow the front part of the hair as this part is a problem area for me ATM. I need to tackle it head on this year! No retreat. No surrender! Thanks Megz!
Thanks Megz for Always sharing. You have always showed us the Ups, Set backs and Recovery throughout your hair journey and how you maintained throughout each stage.
So many edge controls contain DMDM Hydantoin and Hydrolyzed protein too. Read the ingredients and learn about them. I’m so grateful to the dermatologist who educated me on the products and ingredients that is destroying our hair and I am relaxed. It’s going to take me at least 6mos to get my hair healthier but now I know what to look for in my hair products.
Hi. What is the difference between the cream in the jar vs. the cream in the bottle? You might have said it earlier and I might have missed it while reading the comments.😊
Girl I have natural hair and my genetics have me struggling with my hair. I'm more prone to stress due to my neurodivergent brain and I'm a thalassemia carrier in a place with little sunlight. What causes my hair to be weak and fall out: stress, ferritin deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, I seem to have a magnsesium deficiency and I just realised that for my age and height and exercise routine I need to eat more protein. ...and hair needs protein!! Yeah I need a time out from 2023. Lol! Yeah it's wig season for me. It's cold outside and I don't want my ends freezing off. lol!
Looove the ORS in the jar, haven't seen the bottle one ill check for it! Speaking of brittle, I am sooo tired of it I'm fully natural 4c, I do sooooo much for maintaining and the 2nd day after washing u can't tell I did ish and my hair goes right back into a big claw clip😩the amount of product I run thru is insane & I'm beyond ready to switch to the dark side. Oh lawd don't get me started with sweat, I'm want8ng to lose some weight but sometime I skip workouts bec I don't wanna deal w/the hair drama😩 anyway enough of my rant lol which relaxer do u use, im starting to do some research on finding an efficient stylist, bec once braid season is done I need dat creamy craxck!😅
Love this and I'm have to pick up the ORS product to give a try. My hair seems to be getting dry in the winter months. Can you let me know the name of the African Shop you got your oils from? Thanks
Iron deficiency is no joke! It effects everything brain function, sleep, etc. Geritol is The holy grail my granny took it every day with her sun my delight. Please drop the name of the african store please ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing Megz! Can you do a week in my hair video so we can see how you style it from day to day? When moisturizing and sealing often it can weigh down the hair, so I’m curious as to how you style after this.
I know that the older I got the more weird my hair became. When I was a young woman I had a head full of hair but as I started to age, my hair began to thin out and shed crazy like cat fur. I have to wear my hair in protective styling.
I think alot of us want to more authentic, real life, genuine daily life and routines. Lol we occasionally like the “i went to sleep without a bonnet and woke up like a princess and had a green juice routine” but we all know thats not real life for most people lol!
Hey girl! Loving the videos. I'm using Creme of Nature Creamy Oil Moisture Hair Lotion for my scalp and hair. What do you use for your scalp to care for and keep it healthy?
My ends never stay moisturized. They stay breaking even with trims and dusting. My new growth is excellent it’s fuller and thicker but my ends no matter what stay crusty snd crunchy
Girls I'm struggling..... I HATE the way my hair feels with products on it!? I don't like how it feels oily/greasy if I touch on my hair. I usually just use a leave in conditioner with an oil on top, but it's not enough and I want to take care of my hair so I've been going back to how my mom use to do it using products like the ones in videos like these. My hair looks good and it feeeels, but I don't like the feeling? :/
Please read the ingredients in the Fortifying Cream Hair Dress… particularly DMDM Hydantoin. Research that chemical. It is NOT good for our hair. I threw out all of my hair products that contain it. I’m not promoting Keracare but they do not use that chemical in their products. Also, I had a lot of breakage and had no idea why. A dermatologist had me bring in my products and to my surprise almost all of my products contained protein. My blow dry sprays, leave in conditioners, moisturizer conditioners. No, it wasn’t advertised on the front that it contains protein but the Derm showed and told me that… Hydrolyzed silk, wheat, collagen are all proteins. Unbeknownst to me, my hair was suffering from protein overload.

OMG! The QP!! It was one of my favorites back in the day when relaxed. I wonder how it would work on my natural hair now 😮
Hey Megz. New to your channel. Nothing wrong with a step back.
Your hair looks healthy. I now use affirm sensitive relaxer. So far so good. Your hair looks good.
Affirm has some really amazing products!
I like to use a tiny amount of Mizani Rosewater Hairdress from mid-strands to ends. If I have a little chi silk infusion I'll add about three drops to each side. Then I either pin it up the way you have here or I might set it with four flexi-rods...tends to come out soft and bouncy.
I think hair grease/dressing is making a comeback because I’ve been using a little bit on my end as well
Yes, I think it is! I'm seeing more and more people returning to it.
It never left my house. It left my scalp but not my ends especially in winter and when I need a trim...It saves my sanity!! Tomorrow is wash day and some sort of oil, butter, grease or silicone is going on my ends because I need a trim real bad!!
I love the olive oil hair dresser
perfect timing! i recently went back to relaxing my hair and was looking for a good moisturizer that wouldnt revert my hair
These work great!!
I never stopped using blue magic
ORS oldie but goodie, i used the hair lotion back in my relaxed days. All there products are pretty good.
Yesss I love them so much!!
Thanks Meg for always being so open and transparent about your setbacks. Been following you since 2011 when I first learned to stretch relaxers and I've always loved your tips. ❤
❤ your skin looks so good ❤ you're beautiful megz !!!
Thank you so much!!
I put it on scalp and hair routine and it’s perfect

Can’t believe I’m first!!! Needed this cause I’m about to do my hair!!! ❤
Hey heeey! I hope this works well for you? 🤗
@@ulovemegz Yes. This was right on time. I want to wear my hair blow dried and braided this winter and was thinking about moisturizing and sealing. Thanks!!! ❤❤❤❤

Once you get your trim it is going to be fuller. Beautiful
Yesss agreed. I can't wait for the old unhealthy hair to grow out.
Your hair looks beautiful! My stylist uses affirm fiberguard relaxer system on me.
Thank you! I used to use that one before I started self-relaxing in 2008. Thats a REAL good one!
I’m loving that relaxer too!

Every time I visit your channel it makes me wanna return to relaxers 😍
Great video. What concealer and eyeshadow do you have on. Great look. Thanks
Thank you! It's Charlotte tibury bronzer and Marena beauty orange blush on my eyes. I used nars creamy concealer and gently under eye.
Do you know what happened to that Mango butter moisturiser that you used to use? I loved it
I believe it was discontinued! That was my FAVORITE.

Could you pls do a length check video?
Thanks for the video
Thank youuu for watching! 🤗
Yea that social media break is very important sometimes 😊nice routine sweetheart 😘 will give this ors a try soon
It really is. I've been doing social media for 20 years basically and breaks are sooo needed. Thank you so much!!
My hair is fine too. And I have so many problems. I can't really see the length of my hair as much as I when your hair is thicker.
I think alot of us want to more authentic, real life, genuine daily life and routines. Lol we occasionally like the “i went to sleep without a bonnet and woke up like a princess and had a green juice routine” but we all know thats not real life for most people lol!
Omg you're so right! ITS NOT REAL AT ALL LOL! I definitely don't do ANY of that! LOL.
Luv it Meg❤
Thank youuu 🤗
Yes!❤❤
Where can I source the affirm relaxer?
beautiful Megz 😘
Thank yooou
I'm currently battling iron and vitamin d deficiency. It ain't easy. I almost went bold in the middle of my head
It truly is tough and I wish you a speedy recovery
@@ulovemegz thanks babe ❤️
I think thats why my hair thinning i have both these issues 😢 i need to get a full blood check again my hair thinning all over iv been stressed too 😫
Thanks. 🙏🏾
Hey Megz, would u do that aberacadabra $1500 sew in?
I don't wear sew ins in general but at that price I would have to pass lol. Thats above my budget lol.
Happy Wednesday 😊
Happy Wednesday 🤗
I'm early! 😁
Hey early freeeen
Megz you should add odorless garlic to your regime. It works wonders. I promise.
I heard great things about that!
What does it do?
@@LisaRamirez-cc7kw it significantly reduces shedding. I have used it for years. It also helps regulate blood pressure.
@@fishar40 thanks for sharing this.

I see that you said you do this for the first week lol. What do you do for the next few weeks?? Can we see that?
yessss. I do twist outs and braid outs so I wont be pulling my back while the front is recovering.
African Olive Oil is good
Also having your thyroid checked is a good test to have.

I bought these products and it’s the same thing except ones in the bottle and the others in the jar.
I wish I had the length of the front of your hair!
Mine is starting to come back in myself. The front seems to be the hardest to catchup
Do you think you trimm your hair too much Meg?… I been stretching my trimms out to about 6 months or more… too see more length
I've been keeping it short because my hair wasnt thriving in health. I'm not doing anymore major chops but just dusting until my next trim.
U are gorgeous

All proteins aren't the same and provide different benefits.
