Finally someone using minimal product and a minimal routine.
i loveee simple haircare 🥰
Yessss this is what I needed lol
@@LuxuriousLenay Agreed! I hope my hair grows. It took me 13 years to get shoulder length hair. My entire lifetime.
@@AestheticBlue13 Whaaatt??! How?? I hope your hair grows ❤

I graduated cosmetology school and this video is singlehandedly more informative than everything i learned for how to care for Black hair as that school didn't teach a single thing about Black hair but to chemically alter it.
wow that’s sad, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised :// im glad i could provide some insight, thanks for watching!
@yarsudani you're welcome and thank you for this video. Btw, I went to Empire beauty school and the school in Philadelphia is predominantly Black so it's a shame that they do not cater to our hair at all.
This video is a perfectly articulated demonstration of why washing (more) often and avoiding heavy products is so beneficial for us!! Thank you!
hehe thank you so much!!
As a 13 year old girl, I am so happy I came across this video.
I have or had trouble seeing my self-worth, and seeing the beauty of my hair.
My hair is short, the front part of my hair goes down to my eye, the sides of my hair goes down to my ears, and the back barely surpasses my neck.
I’ve disliked when people compared my hair to others. I also have 4c hair, I have also disliked my shrinkage.
After reading your Sudani Diaries ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Loving Your Natural Hair’ I noticed that the things I disliked about myself wasn’t nice to think of.
I’m going to learn how to love the things I disliked about myself.
Thank you so much, keep up the good work, and I am looking forward to seeing your next video’s. Bye💕!
Have a good day❤️!
As a type 4 hair girl your video was so refreshing. Your presence here on RUclips is appreciated❤. Cant wait for the styling video
aww thank you so much!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾
teenager in middle school , im finally learning how to wash my hair instead of doing it any type of way. 😂😂 , My hair used to be so damaged and now im finally getting to learn more about hair.
im a high schooler but washing my hair is so hard because i have anemia
@@XiaoIsMyHusbandBTWGoing to be a freshman next month but same and plus an iron deficiency.😢
Don't be a dumbass like me guys (I'm old as hell, 18) and I have never ever ever washed my hair by myself. I've hardly ever even oiled it or done anything to it besides keep it braided. It is severely damaged and I'll probably have to chop 60 percent of it off 😢 or all of it.
@@bubblelaydy seconding you dude dont be a dumbass like me (20 btw) and not take care of your hair. My hair use to be down to my back but its so damaged and fragile now I'm gonna take it all out tomorrow (I have locs-)
@@bubblelaydyur not old as hell
I don’t even have this hair type, but I watched through the whole video because it’s so relaxing. Thank you for providing this for people to use.
I haven’t seen a girl with actual 4C hair. This is amazing. I’m literally in the middle of taking down my braids😅
Me too!
Me three
Me four 😊
I've been watching "HairTube" for more than a decade and I've seen 4C RUclipsrs.
What I've not seen often is long hair with tiny tight curls and I can safely say Seun Okimi is part of that gang. Taking care of short/medium length 4C hair isn't the same as when you have long hair. I hope there will be more and more people sharing tips for long 4C hair
Me 5
You and your hair are a gorgeous combination. Thank you for showcasing HEALTHY, BEAUTIFUL 4C HAIR!!!
thank you!!
Yess!! I fully agree!
As a teenage girl who is still learning her natural hair, this helped very much as I'm still learning how to wash and style my hair correctly. This video really helped for when I have my next wash day thank you ❤🥰
you’re welcome love!! 💖💖
fr! I am trying my hardest to really look into what to use for my hair and how to get it to grow more. I've gotten so insecure lately about how it looks and how it isn't long and straight and all tangled but I want to make a change and this video is one of many that will help me with that.
@@hopetothemax2561 God loves you! You can repent and believe that Jesus paid the price for our sins! He can give you so much love, joy and peace!💕😊
Same
i feel like keeping your 4c hair trimmed is another key aspect. because our hair is high in density and SO curly. the hair strands tend to loc on themselves and split. I saw so much improvement in moisture and health after regulary trimming my hair. and i loveeeeeee my hair and i love yours too and the representation!!!!!!! im so happy young black girls are growing up with role models like u. cheers to the revolution
yess healthy ends is key! i find that many people can’t afford trims or can’t find natural hair stylists i wish it was more accessible :// but i guess even self trimming can be beneficial! and thank you i’m happy to be apart of natural hair positivity 🫶🏾🫶🏾
that density one isn't really true for everyone though, I have a see through afro cause my 4c hair is sparse
do you trim your own ends?
How many times a year??
@@CaramelCupcakkeeYeah this comment lowkey added salt to my wound, some of us are struggling & have like 2 hair strands on our heads. What is true for one person isn’t true for everyone else lol
I'm so glad that you're on RUclips and make these videos.
This is exactly the type of representation I wish I have had when I went natural many years ago
happy to hear it. i’ve always felt underrepresented so i’m becoming what i’ve always wanted to see 💖
" I would hate to be taking down starter locs every time I washed my hair" had to HOLLERING ahahah. Great video, thanks for all the tips!
I’m so freakin happy that I stumbled upon your channel! I was getting so discouraged being natural and seeing so much anti-natural talk and rep on social media, especially short haired natural. It means so much to see someone on a similar journey to me. Thank you for being here! ❤️
you’re welcome!! i notice that too and want to create a space of natural hair love and appreciation :) don’t need any of that negativity
I loved watching this and relearning how to take care of my 4c hair
thank you beautiful!
Also i believe a lot kf type 4 girls struggle because they dont detangle often. I detangle with hands 2 times a week and with a brush once a week. If other hair types went months without detangling their hair (even those wjth straight hair) will struggle to detangle their hair. 4c hair is not difficult to manage at all. It's just neglected and given bad image.
this exactly. straight/loose hair types brush their hair almost everyday, but most tight curly types go weeks/months before brushing and that’s what makes things so hard. they don’t realize their hair is locing/matting. washing 1-2 times a week is great!
there's also this weird obsession with type 4 girlies and shredding. If you're shedding 100 strands a day and haven't washed your hair for 3 weeks, that's 2,100 strands trapped in your head but for some reason people want to see the tiniest hairball.
This! I just started using the tangle teezer its a life saver. My hair is 4c medium strands and I have a lot of of it, so I only detangle on wash days about once a week. I agree its easier if you do it frequently when I wear box braids for a month detangling is always much harder. It’s not something I do often but I notice a big difference in the time it takes and the amount of shed hair I lose
True girl you telling facts
yep, I get complimates of how fluffy and soft looking my hair looks and I have short 4C hair (7in), because I had to shave my hair off completely ayear ago because of how damage it was from all the tight styles,wigs, and lack of moisture (my hair line was literally receding and I lost my edges)
mousturizing and properly detangling your hair is key, after that its so easy it takes me 5-30 min to do my hair depending on the style, and my hair as grown so much
I agree I usually wash once a week and my hair never dries out. That’s what makes it more manageable vs starting on dry matted hair. Don’t even let it get to that point. One time I washed my hair after 5 days recently and my hair was so soft and I detangled so fast my husband was surprised. My hair was happy and soft vs when I would go 2-4 weeks.
I am going to start washing my hair once a week. I need to see how my hair could be if I were to do this instead of washing 3-4 weeks.
I'm interested in starting to wash my hair more frequently (maybe not weekly but every fortnight). My question is: what do you do to your hair in between washes? Twists or some other styles? How do I minimise the time spent styling, because I'm still in school?
Yes!!! Washing once a week should start being considered the bare minimum not maximum. It’s so beneficial for us especially! We have the hair type that has the highest probability of becoming the dry, why do we deprive it of water?
Jesus loves you so much💗💗 He died in the cross for you so you can be saved from hell. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to clean us of all unrighteousness🤍
You are healing us while healing our relationship with our hair😊💞💘
that is my goal!! thank you sm!
The shrinkage is crazy! But that’s the magical part. You can switch between a twa or a medium length twist out 😍
My wash days are almost exactly the same! Your coils are so pretty!
thank you 🥰
Finally found a hair channel for tight curls. Your doing great work
thank you!
I have such a bad relationship with my hair, and it doesn’t help that my mama and sister won’t stop mentioning it, especially my sister. They use to make fun of me for trying but this is the first video, that explains everything so well and makes me feel like I can actually do it. Thank you so much.
I am learning how to take care of my hair again after cutting off for so long. When it comes to the idea of taking care of my hair, I am so overwhelmed and don't know where to start. My hair and scalp have been dry and irritated lately and I always shed so much hair. Seeing you take care of your hair with such pride and joy is motivating. I will implement your tips. Thank you!
you got this!!🥰💕
This method (no oils or butters) has been a Godsend for me!! As someone with fine hair, oils and butters have been my greatest enemy!! 😭😭
Also, fantastic technique, every coily haired person needs to see this ❤
yes!! I love to see the real 4c hair being represented. this is what the natural hair movement was supposed to be all about
Instead of attaching bunches of store bought hair, fake or someone else's, and/ or covering it with ugly sateen bonnets making the ridiculous claim of " protecting" it. How does courting scalp inflammation and alopecia with gunk and fake hair 24/7 " protect it? 😢
This was such a well done video . The commentary and the simple esthetic was very enjoyable and informative . I also loved how there was no music in between you talking so we could actually absorb what you were saying and understand what you were doing . ❤
i thought some would enjoy the no music. it tends to be distracting so i don’t want to add any in my videos for that reason. and thank you!
That beginning and ending look is EVERYTHING
aw thank you!!
I want to wear my hair shrunken more but I shyed away because another youtuber said it damages it if you just wear it naturally so you should always have it braided. This is a really good washing routine , thank you. I will go back to wearing my hair shrunken and stop using combs now :D
it’s a shame a lot of people think the only way healthy to take care of 4c hair is to braid/stretch it. i’m happy to hear you wearing it more natural 🥰
Yes to un stretched hair! In my experience tight 4c curls thrive and are stronger when allowed to be in its natural un stretched self. Less manipulation and pulling and tugging is best
It really varies from individual to individual. My hair shrinks a lot and tangles easily so keeping it shrunken all the time can make it harder to detangle thus causing breakage. Some other people find it easier to take care of shrunken and the tension from always stretching cause breakage.
@@proudlyigbo6201 yes!
@@yarsudanimy hair tangles up incredibly and is so dry in it’s shrunken state. What should I do?
As a white adoptive of a black daughter, I really appreciate this! I'm learning how to care for her hair and help her to love her curls. Thank you!
I love to see videos of people that have the same hair as me sm, I shaved my hair for a fresh start this year and I got made fun of plenty times but I've made it compulsory to learn about it and not hate it
Even though this is 1 year old, I’m still gonna watch it. I’m the only African girl in my family due to the fact my mother had to legally leave, and because of that I’ve never been able to properly take care of my hair. So I’m forever grateful for people like you who spend time teaching others❤️
3:45 “😊 I feel like a DJ when I do this” idk why but that was adorable
This is exactly what my hair looks like!! It’s so hard to find people on youtube that have a similar hair type to me, and this is not shade at all but most of them look like my hair after a twist out or post braids and can’t really follow their tutorials, so I’m so glad I found this! Can’t wait to explore your channel :D
This video was very satisfying to watch! Your hair looks so healthy. 😍
thank you love!!
One of the best 4C wash tutorials I've seen in a while! All the information is legit! Instant subscription👍. I've been having much better success this hair journey around because I'm already using these steps.
thank you!!💖
FINALLY A SUDANI SISTER W HAIR LIKE MINE ❤️❤️ I have always struggled with my hair. You have helped me feel more confident in my hair. Thank you so much, I hope u grow and help other girls with their hair love journeys 😘
Thanks for the tutorial ive been meaning to simplify my routine to make it more easier and take less time to do it i cant wait for more videos❤
you're soo welcome! thank you for watching :)
Thank you for this lovely video! I am growing my 4c hair back out from a fresh start after 3 years of perming with a relaxer regularly. I'm trying to learn to love and care for my hair (as well as my skin and body, inside and out) more. It's definitely been a challenge, but I am learning to appreciate my natural hair much more and understand its needs far more consistently :) I'd like to grow it out as long as I can, and return to getting box or french curl braid extensions too!
I always used to hear people talk abt how long their wash days were which discouraged me at the time cus i knew nothing about my hair but your vids have helped so much esp on tiktok and ive never spent more than one hour on wash day ❤
aw glad I could help!! i've felt the same before, seeing everyone complain made me feel like i should feel the same way but then i realized i don't and wash days are actually easy and enjoyable
Oh, the water 💧 is running while you are detangling: water should not be wasted, angel.🎉
Good tutorial.
Your hair is lovely!🎉❤
❤ The way you nourish your hair, how I've learnt over time/ still learning to care for mine, shows so much love... Gentleness you have within for yourself, that overflows to others, consideration, compassion, enjoyment of your very being. It spills over to others and sends a lot of warmth with it. Thank you for sharing of yourself Yar.
i have to come back after my second wash day using this video as a guideline and you are a blessing. my wash day was so easy, i was powering through all of the dilemmas that made me dread wash days and I was able to wash & style my hair in 2 hours. as a 4c girl, thank you so much!
Your hair is so pretty & healthy and I love your smile! 😍😍 The simplicity of the video is super refreshing. Can’t wait for more!
I have been having issues with my hair and I thought that putting more time between my washes (every 2 weeks) would alleviate it, but your video definitely changed my mind! I can't wait to try your tips this weekend
Your hair is so beautiful. This is the most therapeutic 4c wash day video I've ever watched. I learnt new things too. Thank you. I love this❤
As a kid growing up in the 70's, hair wash day was torture. My mom would be so rough and all I would do is cry and scream, which led to getting hit. Now when it grows, I shave it down because I just don't want to deal with it.
I'm so sorry you went through that, sending you love. 💖
Yes! I definitely also dealt with trauma from getting my hair done. Which is why I also cut it down. I’m sorry you had to deal with that! 😓💕
this is kinda unrelated but if anyone is worried about water usage, you can turn off the water during the detangling process (make sure to throughly wet your hair though :))
Great comment ❤
Or use a spray bottle to keep wetting your hair
I've been trying to learn how to take better care of my hair, and this video was super informative!! I also loove your video style it's so relaxing haha. Looking forward to the rest of this series :)
thank you so much!!
I followed this video while washing my hair myself for the first time. I cried twice, and almost gave up, but I did it 😅! Feels great in the end. But thank you for this, it really helped washing my hair feel more approachable.
Awesome video . I loved the way you took time to really break down the method to our 4C hair. You were very thorough and concise in every stage on how to wash and moisturize our hair. This is the first time I have had a relationship with my natural hair. It took me 3 years to get my natural hair back into course. My mother believed in relaxing our hair. Straight hair, was a way to fit in or perhaps be accepted by other societies. I am growing a new relationship with my hair. Thanks for giving me some pointers. ❤❤❤
Love this video. I have a teenage daughter who has 4C hair, so this video is just what I have been looking for. I love your explanations, your step-by-step instructions coupled with good video views, and your pleasant manner. Thank you so much for this research. ❤❤❤
Now this is real 4C hair. Finally , the truth. Your hair looks exactly like mine. It is really hard to get our hair wet to shampoo. And it takes forever to dry. And the shrinkage it truly real.
Low porosity is a sign of healthy hair. Hair is hydrophobic in a healthy state and damaged hair is porous so even though it can be difficult sometimes know that it’s a sign of your hair being health.
Trueee
Even tho mine shrinks very much when my hair is wet and it looks like I cut my hair
People have told her that her hair is not 4c
@@KNt820 they lied
so relaxing to watch and actual 4c hair and its so beautiful
😊 thank you
As a person with 1b hair, this is very interesting and satisfying to watch! 4c hair is beautiful ❤
This was so relaxing to watch! Loved the presentation
thank you very much 🥰
Yall dont think its sad that we need a beginners tutorial on hair we had our whole life lmao. Colonialism go crazy dont it
Ummm white people are also on this journey let’s not shame people for learning
@@Jessica.Shawnte white people dont have 4c hair what the fuck are you talking about 🙂 im shaming colonialism, not us.
@@Jessica.Shawnte white ppl are not learning how to take care of their 4c hair, Karen. My God. I am shaming colonialism, not my people.
You're right! But black talk has a point. Yes the 1a guys have hair tutorials but it's not usually this basic@@Jessica.Shawnte
@@Jessica.Shawnte no one is being shamed other than the colonialists who taught us to hate ourselves.
My man has 4c hair & im trying to learn & help him take care of his hair. This is very helpful for me you explain so well thank you for sharing, I love the praying hands motion, im going to try that next time I wash his hair 💛🙏
My scalp is gonna love me so much when i do this routine
yesss :D
This feels like a hug. Thank you ❤
your hair is so pretty!! thank you for the video. i want to learn how to care for curly+textured hair for my black loved ones, and your videos seem like a really good place to start =) thanks again!
I dont even have 4a-b-c hair I have 2a hair but your voice is calminggg
Thank you soooo much for your video. It’s so refreshing to see a routine with someone that has the same hair as mine. I’ve got thin edges as well and thin hair in general. On a journey to start loving my hair, it’s hard but thanks to people like you, my faith is slowly restoring. Much love 💕
I know I cant be the only one who clicked on the video because she's beautiful, then subscribed with in secs. I need a new curl hair routine, but your gorgeous girl. werk!
Thank you for the recommendation of washing weekly. That will probably definitely help with my hair dryness. Excited to start truly caring for my natural hair.
I don't use as much product as I did before when I was transitioning. It takes me a while to detangle my hair, but I can get it detangled easily from starting at the ends and working to the roots. Fortunately, it went from being high porosity to low porosity, so my hair doesn't dry as much as it did before.
I still need tips on how to maintain it 'cause there's still so much I don't know. I was also in denial of what my hair type was since I was in the middle of transitioning (thinking it was 4b but it looks closer to 4c, oops 🤦🏾♀). Love the video so much now that I know what to do with my hair!
tried this routine!! it was great :) still took me very long bc i have fine breakage prone hair so i have to be careful with it but it felt way less like a chore
loved this! beautifully shot and really informative
thank you it means so much!
"I feel like a deejay when I do this" That was funny 😂
This was soo useful, I always wondered why my hair wasn’t cooperating, this really helped me with my hair journey. Tysm💕💕
This is such a gem of a video, so throughly
4c videos like these are so satisfying 😊😊
I love your comment on shampoo! It’s not shampoo itself, it’s using the wrong type and also the frequency you use it that can lead to dryness and other stuff.
I’m a 3c curly hair girl and I’ve found your tips very useful ❤ thank you so much, you have such a beautiful hair.
thank you sm!🥰
I just did a big chop a month ago after having locs for a year due to thinning from me scratching my scalp. I'm so sad they had to go but they were hanging on a strand of hair.
Now I'm starting over again not really feeling confident, I'm so glad i found your video it gives me hope, I'm gonna follow your prices and give more care and love to my hair this time around.
Much love from NC
First off, let me say you are very beautiful. Second, thank you so very much for making and sharing this video. I have been struggling with my kinky coily hair. I had a relaxer most of my life and didn't know what my natural hair was like. I have been natural for a while. I wore locs 4 six years. I combed them out 2 years ago. I am determined to learn to care for my beautiful hair properly. Thank you. 😊
This feels like a gift!! Thank you!
you are so gorgeous
this video is exactly what i was looking for!!! minimal and technique focused!
I just love how your hair holds on to the water. It laids flat while rinsing a sign its recieving the water (moisture) . Your curls are visible also, and they are beautiful.
Your point of saying your scalp is skin really stood out to me! If I scratch my skin I’ll break it same goes for my scalp!
You’re so well spoken❤ I love your video but most of all your calming voice. Allahuma Sid wa barek ❤
You don't know how happy i am to see my type of hair in this light.
Thank you for this❤
Literally my type of hair! 🥹😍
Loved the reference to Mystique! I tried using a scalp massager in circular motions when I was growing out a relaxer, and it tangled my hair so bad that I thought I might have to cut it all off. I can use a brushing or combing motion in one direction or, if I am pulling my hair, back and forth in one direction. But, circles are a definite no no for me. Also, I had to comb it after it was sectioned, corn-rolled and dried for several years. But, I’ve recently discovered the tangle teaser as a shower brush. So, I guess my point is, you may have to be gentler on your hair if you are transitioning or just have fine hair.
Yesss this was awesome and also keep in mind the importance of the products you use! I've been using Milan and it's moisturizing some others dry my hair out increasing tangles and hair loss!
TYSM this is just what i need, ive been struggling with my hair for a very long time.❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I heard the intro and I subscribed immidietly. Gosh ur so sweet, we need to protect you from this world IMMEDIATELY 💗💗💗💗
very calming and educational to watch
lol I really needed this. I have unnaturally long 4c hair so my hair reaches all the way down to my thigh when I stretch it lol. This is rlly helpful
My hair is currently in braids and this is making me miss it so much 😅 Great shampoo routine!
The texture of you hair is awesome
thanks!!
Im about to go to war with my girlfriends hair and this helped me understand her hair so much oh my god thank you.
Dudeee you are so freaking pretty omg! You are literally gorgeous, I hope you never forget that🥰
your voice is so calming
I know this video is about hair but girl ur black shine is gold....such amazing skin❤
YES omg I need this series. I cant wait for the next one! Would love to see your moisturizing,styling and maintaining methods.
I watch this video when I’m doing my wash day and want something soothing❤ it definitely gives selfcare and healing hair related trauma.
4C hair is not easy thank you for this video 👍
I found your video therapeutic and can see why you take your time with your wash days. Gorgeous hair and beautiful spirit.
Thanks so much for this video and I hope you keep posting. Been looking for videos on managing and styling type 4C hair like mine. Thanks again!
This video should be a staple do every tight curly natural! Great job, i learned a lot
