You said it all, literally I’m doing the same thing with my hair and I’m not being as strict. I know it needs moisture and a good cut here and there but we are no longer doing the most.
I’m old 58 and I went natural over three years ago. At first I was doing all those 4 hour routines I saw influencers doing with no good results. I learned my hair and only use things that are good for my hair. Through that journey I also learned butters and creams are not good for my hair. They just dried my hair out and made it hard. I created a 2 hour wash day routine that focuses on moisture and hydration and keeps me off my feet for hours.
As for myself, I stopped only doing wash and gos as well. I love the style and it’s very simple but I want to do other styles (only using my real hair not fake hair).
I'm also going to be heat-styling more for the same reasons and then some. I don't even know how to flat iron my own hair, so this is both an effort to have more fun with my hair as well as learn how to do it. I love the look of roller sets and things and it's just not the same when done on textured hair (not to suggest I was capable of doing them with my curly hair!). I want to dye my hair ginger too, but I'm too chicken. Maybe one day!
It sounds like we are on similar pages. I started shampooing every few weeks with Neutrogena T-Gel because my scalp was always irritated from all the moisture. My hair is so low porosity that it takes days to dry without all the stylers, so once you add in the gels and pomades and creams, I was really setting up my scalp to fester opposed to thrive. Now I avoid air drying when I have stylers on my hair, I am much lighter with the products (have almost abandoned gel altogether), and am attempting about once every three weeks to learn to round brush my hair because I think that would be a really neat tool in my versatility kit. As far as your hair color you have a lovely neutral golden undertone so I think it will be interesting to see how different colors change your overall warmth or coolness. I personally love any hair color with a cool or neutral undertone on me because it makes my skin pop. Wishing you all the best. 🥰
Great video! I agree with the sulfates. About a year ago I thought my hair was severely damaged there was nothing that I could do that could bring moisture back into it. I went to the salon thinking that I was going to have to cut it all off and the hairdresser looked at me and said no you just have extreme build up and she used a clarifying shampoo in my hair came back to life. Now I use a clarifying shampoo with sulphates every other week and my hair has been thriving.
I'm not really doing anything different. My routine has been simple, and I plan to keep it that way. I wouldn't call it changing things up, but a few months back I decided to let my hair grow as long as it wants to. I've been cutting it back to hip length for years so I'm letting it grow but still trimming when the ends need it.
I’ve been one to put a lot of heat on my hair only because it got damaged, so when it’s time to trim my hair then I’ll blow it out, I color my every 2 months as I’m covering those pearly lites (gray hair) lol! I do use a clarifying shampoo twice a month to get the build up off!
People are getting back to using good ol grease like blue magic. But they’re using it the right way by placing it on moisturized hair and braiding or twisting it in a protective style.
I'm using the Blue Magic with shea butter. I add it after using a leave-in conditioner. I had to quit listening to these influencers about all these natural products that left my hair dried out.
DON'T CUT YOUR HAIR. I love to see Men who have hair because there this so call myth ( stereotype ) that only women should have hair, but of course as we all know men can have hair too
1. Keeping my hair stretched
2. Scalp massages
3. Salon visit once a month
4. Seal and tuck away my ends
5. Trim as needed
Im in a season of different hair care too. I used to wear wigs all the time, now I'm giving my hair a chance to flourish.
I would love to see a new hair routine with the changes you've made

Can you share this routine and what products you're using ? Thanks 👌

Thumbs up on video.😀
Great tips and thanks for sharing 🥰

I love the whole idea of switching up. We should enjoy what we have now. I'm sure you will do what's best for your hair along the way.
Love this video. I’m about to be 30 soon and I want to do more fun things with my hair too.
It’s now or never lol🎉
👏👏👏 I fully agree with you .

Thanks for the hair care update. Wow your teeth look great!
Dawan at the end of the day it's your hair and do as you please with it boo no judgment here. Once a month I use a clarifying shampoo in my hair.

I use Vaseline with coco butter and for my hair it's a game changer

👀👀👀😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
What the name of the tresemme you use?
Do you boo😉
What’s the name of the clarifying shampoo that you use?
Hi which tresemme shampoo were you referring to?
Do you trim? If so how often? Or do you just let your hair grow?
I mentioned that in the video, did you watch the entire video?
