    I def. appreciate a bare-bones, simple hair regimen because I'm over this huge fear of shampoo that has somehow permeated the natural hair community. & Nobody needs a 13 oil mix to get their follicles "stimulated". It's getting too too too extra out here lmao like what's really going on? Who has time to pre-poo overnight, clay wash, co-wash, finger detangle, LOC method, twist, air dry for 48 hrs, and then twist out? Naw.

  • @cookiewookie4509
    @cookiewookie4509 8 лет назад +53

    I always avoided the natrual hair community for years and stuck with relaxers, people in the natrual hair community made natrual hair seem confusing an extremely difficult to take care of, it feels like more of a burden than actually enjoying your natural hair. I just started going natural and I really do appreciate you taking it back to the basics, and showing people that you don't have to go through hell to take care of your hair.

    • @denacee9697

      Thank you for back to the basics series.I am 58 years old and back in the 70s had a beautiful afro and it was healthy with just water and ultra-sheen.I have been natural since 2013 with stagnate growth trying to keep up with the naturals spending excessive amounts of monies on creams,butters and leave ins,I wanted to go and get my relaxer back my hair was so harsh..Since I saw your video,I have gone​ back to a wash with a DC weekly ,using water,hair grease and jamican black castor oil
      now my hair is showing me some love and I love it back.Thank-you😍😉

  • @MISSDAJAVU22
    @MISSDAJAVU22 8 лет назад +127

    Thanks for the video. It confirmed a lot of my feelings concerning washing and conditioning ect ect ect... If you just take a step back and listen to your hair and scalp everything becomes clear as day. I was trying everything from standing on one foot while i prepoo on days with a full moon and rinsing with cold water but only while barking like a dog but i stopped all that. I just use any shampoo and conditioner and i wash when needed. Nothing more nothing less!

  • @adarienerobinson9964
    @adarienerobinson9964 8 лет назад +37

  • @chychy6427
    @chychy6427 8 лет назад +50

    I really appreciate your realness. Your background isnt a white wall and you don't promote non sense. I keep my regimen fairly simple. I wash my hair every two weeks and it responds well to that. Keep dem videos coming.

  • @msyolandarenee4900

    Love the way you explain WHY you do what you do so that we understand. Love the way you debunk all the garbage that is fed to us on RUclips.Love the way you are not afraid to challenge the junk floating around the natural hair community. I'm relaxed by the way and I still benefit from your videos. Clean and simple. Love it!🌻

  • @ceeluv87
    @ceeluv87 8 лет назад +19

    I think you should continue the series simply because I think a lot of people HAVE gotten out of touch with natural hair. It's hair, it needs to be taken care of like the rest of your body. I have been natural for 10 years and I did lose touch by becoming a product junky and having to have the latest accessory to help with the growth of my hair. By doing that, I notice that my texture changed and my hair was drying than ever. I had to do a second mini chop and I'm so glad you made this video just in time for me to remember that less is more. My husband always say K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid...Thank you for keeping it real.

    @davisrd76 8 лет назад +10

    I'm so over the extra that has become the norm with washing our hair. I've pretty much gone back to the way my mom used to do my hair. Shampoo, condition, oil and plat. Maybe an occasional twist out. Thank you for keeping it simple. Love your videos.

    @mariepierre4098 8 лет назад +14

    Please keep the series going and continue to debunk these myths. it's funny that my hair was in much better shape and I retained more length before I found all the "techniques" on RUclips. I finally got back to the basics and my hair is doing great. Love your openness and honesty!

  • @sheilajackson6758
    @sheilajackson6758 8 лет назад +5

    This was very informative. It can be overwhelming trying to figure out what to do and how to best take care of natural hair. I've been natural since 2011 but only started learning how to take care of my hair 7 months ago. It's been trial and error ever since. I really appreciate when people say, "what's worked for my hair may not work for everyone". I tend to take those people, like yourself, more seriously because I feel like they genuinely want to help others and not just trying to get more subscribers. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos because it shows that you care and know what you're talking about. Please keep the series going! I will definitely be back to watch.

  • @Curiousblit__z
    @Curiousblit__z 8 лет назад +7

    Hi! I've seen thousands of natural hair videos and this is the first time i've felt the need to comment and say YOU ARE THE BEST. You need to continue this series because people are getting really extra with their hair and stressing themselves out. Also, youre hair is rlly cute!

  • @shida263
    @shida263 8 лет назад +7

    Love this!! Although I've been natural for quite some time, it's refreshing to see a video without the glitz and glamour as you said. I hope you decide to continue this series. I, for sure, will be watching!

  • @shalomamiller
    @shalomamiller 8 лет назад +8

    yes these type of videos are beyond helpful. Many people who do natural hair videos always assume but I feel sometimes you need to take it back to the basics as you stated, and just show the proper techniques of taking care of hair period. Thanks for the video and keep the coming.

  • @cj25674
    @cj25674 8 лет назад +13

    Please continue this series!! I have seen a lot of videos that make taking care of natural hair seem extra complicated and it's not. One of my daughters hair is VERY thick and your video just helped me figure out how to better cleanse her hair. Thank you!

  • @shimmy2708
    @shimmy2708 8 лет назад +9

    I love ALL of your educational, informative videos, so of course, I want to see the series continue. We learn a lot from you! This might seem redundant to some people, but I wouldn't mind seeing you do the wash and condition video again, but on a natural head with more length. Seeing you wash longer hair while keeping it stretched would help a lot of us. Even though you are keeping it simple, there have to be some differences between taking care of shorter hair versus longer hair. Or maybe we'll find out it's just as simple. 🙂

    Thank you for this video!!!I have only been natural for a few months and due to my previous processes and all these natural hair "experts", I literally had to do a mini-chop of about 5 inches because of severe breakage and damage just this morning. CG, MHM, and all these crazy thing got me so confused until i stumbled onto you channel a few weeks back. i now only listen to you and one other youtuber that i researched. Although i had to chop, i am so excited to feel my new growth coming in soft and healthy with the added benefit of feeling the real texture of my curls that i haven't felt since I was five ( I am forty). So again, thank you for doing what you do and please dont ever stop giving us the real straight truth on natural hair!!!

    I am super happy that I watched this video. You said what I am feeling. I feel like some people just do too much to get the same end result...and that is just clean hair. I do the same thing you do and I learned some new tips from you. I really enjoyed this video and hope that you continue to make the series. I am about to share this video with my coworker because she is like me when it comes to her natural hair. 😊

    I appreciate this video series because I have had stripping washes and then used only clarifying shampoo. Then no conditioning just depending on who I'm binge watching at the time. Your explanations make all the difference. Thanks so much!
