Thank you for normalizing our hair. The media has made it seem unnecessarily complicated. When you started talking about the obsession with porosity I couldn’t agree more. I never cared about that and couldn’t understand why it mattered so much. I’m happy I’m not the only one who realizes its not that important when it comes to normal or everyday hair care. I love your energy. You are awesome! Stay blessed ❤💕
It kinda is complicated tho 😅 waking up every morning looking at it like "what am I gonna do with this" 😭 but yeah I completely understand where ur coming from stay blessed my brotha/sista 🤝🏽🤝🏽
@@allensfantasticmusicthat is because you don’t feel comfortable with your natural hair. Other hair textures seem less complicated because they wear it as it grows. We feel like we have to always have a style in our head
@@cherrelleg8276 technically every texture’s hair would loc up, so this is a non factor. That’s why even other textures use combs and tools. point is, they’re not uncomfortable with the hair that grows out of their scalp😉 (yes we know the history of it all. But we’re in the present now)
@@Latte-girly90 wow you are so spot on with this because most of us black women don’t feel comfortable with our hair how it grows out of our head always have to have it “styled”. I have been wearing my hair out in an Afro some days minimal styling and I feel so confident I get so many compliments on my hair and people just stare and people tell me how beautiful I look with my hair. I still wear extension braids and wigs when I want to switch it up but I have started to get comfortable with just wearing my hair out
A lot of hairstylists will use the comb attachment to blow dry the hair instead of trying their hand at using a paddle brush with a blow-dryer. They tend to think it's convenient and quicker when they could actually be tiring themselves out and possibly damaging the hair they're working on. I appreciate you demonstrating your best technique. Because of you I feel like I can do it myself instead of paying someone to put my hair through unnecessary stress.
@@JustAshleyDanielle lol I just bought that dryer haven’t used it yet. My hair appointment is in a few days so I’m going to blow dry and trim my hair first prior. Hopefully it’s as good as the reviews and you say 😬🤞🏾
This was literally a life saver. I find my hair drying out the closer to the front I get and never thought to just re-mist it. You just saved me from so much breakage!
You showed nothing but Love to her hair. I could literally cry, as I recall the snapping sounds of a former stylist blow drying my hair. This is Love. ❤️😢
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that I watched a video where you were contemplating teaching. Based on this video alone I think you need to open a school and not be a teacher unless you are a teacher of teachers at your own school. Your knowledge is amazing thanks for sharing. I'm always impressed by how much information i get from each video.
Smiling throughout this video as proud former cosmetology school teacher and stylist.. The skills, education and thorough explanation my my my… you got it 😍✨
This is my 8 year old daughters exact texture and hair color. I am learning so much about the tension method from you. I usually break her hair down into those twisted sections before washing. Last time I blow dried her hair I used the Dyson with the comb attachment and she complained about the heat. I think the tension method and paddle brush is more efficient especially for a child. Thank you for this gem.
If you haven't already check it my video on how to do a proper Blowout. I hate the comb attachment with a passion ruclips.net/video/V-1PYO3JrMg/видео.html
Only a minute in and already you've showed me why blowing out my sister's hair the other night was sooooo long and hard to do. I thought the more heat protectant the better. I even almost got a new hair dryer nut something inside me was saying its not the tools it's your technique. Thank you soo much for sharing this tip. Gonna go finish now:P
I have extremely course 4C hair. I Tried this method for the first time in my life, as opposed to the blow dry afro attachment brush (which usually works really well), but I must say this is by far the best method, I had hardly any breakage, in honestly in awe. Thank you so much 😢.
I bought this brush because of this video! I am trying to learn how to blowout my hair properly to decrease split ends which I’m prone to, and your technique I think will work for me! ❤️
Thanks for this. Not only does the peanut gallery make our hair "weird" but we do it to each other. We went from Black is Beautiful in the 70s to something is wrong with you through the 80s and 90s. It was like natural hair was a crime. We went from just a nice press or blow out to you need a Jerry Curl, relaxer, fried dyed and laid to the side. Now we back to all things natural.
When you say the "peanut gallery" who are you talking about, because honestly the only people making afro textured hair weird or difficult is other black people. I don't mean to be rude, but we love to say stuff like that, and truly no one else is thinking about us or our hair.
From the late 60s through the 70s, it was all about social change and challenging the status quo. The people who were in high school and college during the 60s and 70s went on to adopt the yuppie lifestyle of the 80s and 90s. Of course, that meant that Black folks would either straighten their hair or make their curl pattern looser in order to get a decent job, and unfortunately we’re still fighting for the right to wear our natural hair in the workplace.
Praise God for you!!!! Narada this video was right on time, cuz I'm getting my hair braided inna few weeks and I'm REQUIRED to blow out my hair and I'm nervous cuz I don't want to damage my hair...man if I had the money I would fly to see you or henny cuz these stylist today ain't it!
This was so very helpful. I've always had trouble with blow drying my hair with the hair reverting so fast. I will try the paddle brush and take my time to make sure I get those roots dry. Thanks for sharing 😉😊
I’m so glad to know I’m not alone in holding the drier like that with the comb attachment 😂. I’m going to try the brush again. I really did like the result better. I just need to give it another chance and more practice.
This is a great method. I’m going to get that brush because I’ve been seeing my other faves use it as well. I usually put a plastic cap over the head to keep in the moisture and just pull out the sections as I go. You’re right it can’t be too wet though. Great education as always 👍🏾
Hello 👋🏾. I watched this yesterday and then ran out and bought the brush. OMG!!! I was able to detangle and blow dry in about an hour. This is life changing. I wish I saw this years ago. Anywho, thank you so much for sharing this information!!!!!!!
I thought it was just me who hated the comb attachment! I find it causes so much damage when I style my hair myself. Thank you for this informative video.❤️
Thank you for explaining the appropriate products to use after washing in detail, I feel like everyone always skips that. Been trying to figure out if I needed to use a leave in b4 the heat protectant for like 3 hrs!

Loved the video/tutorial and commentary! Thank you so much. I have suffered a tremendous amount of breakage since using the comb attachment for the last several months since my Revair broke. I won't be using the comb anymore for all of the reasons that you listed. I got tangles knots CONSTANTLY while blow drying my fine hair with it. My ends were trashed and badly splitting. I had about 3+ inches cut off and I'm starting over with a clean slate. I'm going back to the paddle brush with all of the great advice you've provided here on how to blow dry natural hair.
This video is full of so many gems. I really wish my clients had the time to spend as much energy on knowledge like hairdressers have the time to spend the energy they come in focused on one aspect and don’t even understand it fully and then have all these judgments on their selves, it turns into this whole other thing besides, just trying to give them the hairstyle they want based on the hair they have
That’s exactly why hair porosity is important especially for naturals because we need to know how our hair is going to receive certain products. I have wasted hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars trying to find hair products that’s worked for my hair. Once I understood my hair porosity I was able to figure out what products my hair would receive or soak up and what products would just sit on my scalp or roll off. I figured out how to open my hair follicles and what would seal the moisture in. It may not be that important to some people but it definitely saved me a lot of money and time.
This is great! The stylists I have gone to don't understand that it takes time to detangle our coarse 4c hair. Lol it be your own people too. My poor hair always gets ripped through. I'm used to it now but some days I just opt to do my own hair. I know what she's like. Hopefully I can find someone like you in my area.
Thank you for this ! My 11 yr old has hair exactly this length and this type and she wants her hair blown out this weekend so you just made this easier for me!
This video is a year old!!!! Omg I have been trying to figure out what I’m gonna do about my hair along with my two daughters. I used to take really good care of my natural hair, then I got postpartum depression after my second daughter in 2017 and I have sucked at caring for all of our hair. My youngest daughter has more hair than me and her sister combined. We’re all natural. Anyway this video came through in the clutch. Thanks for all you do!
God sent me to this channel I know this video is old now but I needed this and all the knowledge! I can’t afford to get my hair done & I’ve always wanted to learn to do my OWN hair ❣️
Thank you 😊 I know my comments late ⏰ but I’m currently in school and they teach how to blow dry fine hair but not natural more coily hair so this was definitely helpful and keep doing what you’re doing.
Thank you sooo much for this video so informative and there is definitely a difference between a paddle brush and the comb nozzle. I tend to use the comb nozzle when my hand starts to get tired because it is faster but it does not give you the smoothness I desire.
I agree! Even when I brow dry my hair at home I do not like the comb attachment. The tension method is the best. It's even more efficient when you pull the hair taught with your hand and waver the blow-dryer from the roots to tips. I also use the tangle teezer blow-dryer brush. Grant it, I have a Revair so I don't have to go through this hassle no more.
I really needed this. I have a granddaughter with mixed, extremely thick, and long hair and have been using the comb attachment method but will try the paddle brush method.
Yeah, that comb attachment I had to stop using for the reasons you said; it really just takes through, and I had to do too many passes. Once I started using a brush, I was like yeah, this is MUCH better.
Thank you for this video I just recently had a customer with 4C hair Im a novice braider just started taking my braiding serious this year and he basically said I didn’t know enough about his hair texture so he found someone else and then this video popped up on my feed at the right moment
Porosity helps understand how your hair absorbs water. You can spritz water but with low porosity you need heat to open up the cuticles to take it in otherwise it just sits on top of your hair....still remaining dry. It changed the quality of my deep conditioning & oil treatments knowing I need to be under a dryer for longer for all that goodness to get in
No that's actually not true. You don't need heat to absorb water. That's like saying your hair can't get wet without heat. Porosity as everyone knows it on RUclips has been completely misconstrued.
I don't own a paddle brush but I think my detangling brush will still work, I just have to work in smaller sections. But I absolutely love this technique. I also don't own heat protectant so I'll still have to maintain tension method with the dryer a couple inches for my hair. Currently in a protective style (mini braids) but once I take them down I intend on doing another blowout (did one before protective styling). I feel like I need to have my hair completely stretched out more but I need a fail safe way. I only ever either use threading or tension method. I'll be trying some techniques from this tutorial next time around 🙌🏾
The one thing knowing my porosity helped me with is conditioning and moisturizing my hair. Because it’s low porosity I need to apply heat to open my hair shaft when conditioning. Also my hair can absorb lighter products better.
Thank you so much for clarifying the necessity of cleaned conditioned hair first, especially the less is more part. I thought of hair grease, hot comb from back in the day. 🤦🏾♀️ Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I just tried my first blow out on my 4c hair with a paddle brush and I must say I "HAD" decent results except for my ends. They were very ragged and still had tight coils at the ends. Is that because I need a trim or because I have never used heat on my hair since I grew it out 5 years ago? I tried lighter products ( a leave in/heat protectant and serum) but the ends began to revert as soon as I was done. So much work but it's longer and since I deal with constant tangling, I'm thinking a blow dry would be quick so I can braid it up and not wait 2 days to dry in large plaits for a heat free stretch. I need professional help!
Very great job blow drying!!❤❤ I only use a blow dryer and heat if attending formal events! But, because I workout often and sweat, I usually just wear my hair in braids, twist, or Rock-A-Afro with a headband!❤❤❤💯💯🥰🥰
Awww .lol.. i loved this video ..i could definitely see the confidence transition from you using the brush to the comb. I started using the comb so i became very proficient in blowdrying, and later bcame used to using the brush.. the brush took me waaay longer to completely dry the hair
I thoroughly enjoy your commentary, you say the things I think when I do my clients hair and that comb attachment UGH. It has its uses but I prefer the paddle brush. This was a great video.
It’s soooo funny I watched this video as I blow dry my hair with a comb attachment 😂. My hair is never smooth like this and I tried the way you do it years ago and got overwhelmed with it all. You make me want to try it again and just be patient with myself. Plus find a really GOOD paddle brush. Do you have some you can recommend?
I use the tension method however, when I'm pulling the hair down I dry out to the roots first. So, I'll pull the hair and hit the top of the hair, both, sides and under. Then when I'm done with that I blowdry with the brush from tips to roots. It has worked for me better. I also find that a 9-row brush helps with the tension. Do you have any recommendations on a good paddle brush? the one that I have has bristles that go in every direction and I hate it! Also, If you have recommendations on round brushes I'll take that too! Thanks for the informative video friend!
😭😭😭 your method of using the 🪮 attachment… I wish you blew it out in the downwards motion like you did with the brush. I can see why the hair would get tangled faster… However, I do prefer a brush to blow my hair out muchhhh more than the 🪮 attachment because it’s so much smoother for me and I get the roots so much better. I love your method with that brush!!! New subbie here ♥️♥️♥️🥰
I have a funeral to go to in two days, I usually keep my hair in twist. It’s about past my mid back and I’m gonna try my best with this video 😂 idk how to straighten my hair but I’m doing better at detangling so thank you! It’s a struggle having course hair and truly not having the patience for it, be ready to cry😂
Oh yes ma'am. We are all about cleanliness and sanitation at our salon. We sweep and clean the floor/station/chair after every client, we only use one value per person and we keep our business clean as possible for our clients.
Im a nurse and have been obsessed with hair videos lately, well after my last silk press damaged my curls. Wat Ive realized is I have to have patience with my black hair... like how you detangle and twist the hair before blow-drying I will implement that on my next wash day . I should have been a hairdresser. Thanks for this video .
I did ur sectioning method the hair and it help but i did lost my brush so i did take different brush but u help me alot just i need to get new tools and blowdryer and straightner whn god bless me with the money😊
Her hair is so healthy 😍💕 seeing your technique, my technique isn’t too bad 😮 it’s kinda hard to use a brush on myself though so I rather the attachment but I always do the tension method first.
Try to position the brush and then chase it thru like you do the flat ironing with the comb chase method. That's what I used to do after using the tension method
🥴 Porosity is VERY important. If your hair is porous you need to make sure you’re using low pH products and cationic conditioners to fill and flatten the cuticle after using water of any kind. Which is why things like Porosity corrector and neutralizer can give high porosity hair a lot of added shine and silk.
Oh yeah, I peeped comb attachments back in '08! While I did love my gold n hot blow dryer, I could not mess with the comb attachment. All that damn work🤣 The concentrator is definitely my favorite.
Give thanks for this video Dyson comb attachment for heat distribution and detangle then I follow thru with paddle brush with light oil to seal the cuticle ❤
I felt really bad. I work at Supercuts and a client w an even tighter curl pattern than this came in. My blow out came out relatively straight, but still unwanted volume and the roots I couldn’t get to lay :( thanks for the video. I was sad I didn’t know how to do her hair I was sad for the whole rest of the day.
Don't be sad it's a learning experience. As hair stylists we are practitioners in our field and that means that we are always learning with each head of hair we style.
I have extreme 4C hair and by extreme I mean my hair tangles so easily and my hair has a cottony texture. I just tried your technique and although it came out better than what I usually do. My hair is still stiff and dull. I am literally giving up and I don’t know what I am doing wrong?! I washed with Olapex 04 and 05! Then followed with a diluted ACV rinse and then rinsed. I didn’t let my hair get too dry, and then I created sections. I applied my favorite leave-in milk and did the whole blow drying method. It still comes out stiff and my ends look horrible. I can feel myself giving up on 4c hair because I am trying so hard lol!
What exactly is it that you are trying so hard to do? There are many things in your process that I don't really understand that could also be contributing to your blow out. I think something that meant people forget is that the health and condition of your hair is going to really be a determinant factor in the results of your blowout
@@AfrikanHairGod My hair is pretty healthy, I actually just cut it into a bob! It grows steadily, but it’s difficult to manage in between protective styles. I would always love to learn new ways to make it even more healthy, but I am honestly not sure what I haven’t tried yet. My main struggle is stretching my hair. No one really knew how to properly do my hair growing up, so I am starting on a fresh “hair knowledge” slate. I go to my stylist and she always does a great job, but when I replicate her technique at home, I don’t get the same results. I am moving for college soon and I won’t be able to go to my normal stylist and I want to be able to wash and blow dry my own hair 😔
There is a comb attachment that is made by a black man , and I used 30+ years. It worked much quicker than the attachments that come with the dryer plus the hair is smooth when finished, and you don't need to use no more than one glide through with the flatiron. No heat damage, at all.
Thank you for responding. Yes you are right. But it also means stiffness, soreness, flaw, eccentricity. To me, this word goes way back. AfricanHair, Afro or natural is better. I guess it's up to individual.
You are choosing to use a negative connotation to a word that's not even referencing it. I am basing my terminology based on technical and scientifically accepted jargon so that means my reference and your interpretation may not align because you are not within my field of study. African hair, afro hair, and natural hair are not better terms for me to use because they are extremely general and broad. When i need to specify a specific characteristic of natural hair, I'm going to use terminology that reflects that so that i can speak with clarity and specific intent.
I have higher porosity and I have highly dense hair lol - thus I agree with you it’s so hard for my hair to receive the styling product when I’m doing a wash and go. I’m going to lighten my leave in vs add more product. Great advice.
Lol, my boy was real aggy with that comb attachment😅...you know when he started cussin, he was drove...first time watching and I love you already...thanks for making this tutorial fun and informative...thanks for being human!❤
You’ve just made me realise I’ve been blow drying my hair all wrong all these years with that damn comb attachment 😂 Happy I found this video, I was about to buy the ghd Helios and I’ve been debating the comb attachment

This is great! The stylists I have gone to don't understand that it takes time to detangle our coarse 4c hair. Lol it be your own people too. My poor hair always gets ripped through. I'm used to it now but some days I just opt to do my own hair. I know what she's like. Hopefully I can find someone like you in my area.
Been doing hair close to 40 years and I must say I enjoyed you 😂!
Thank you for this ! My 11 yr old has hair exactly this length and this type and she wants her hair blown out this weekend so you just made this easier for me!
I watched so many other videos on blowouts and this is by far the best one. It's helped me sooo much!! Thanks 😊
This video is a year old!!!! Omg I have been trying to figure out what I’m gonna do about my hair along with my two daughters. I used to take really good care of my natural hair, then I got postpartum depression after my second daughter in 2017 and I have sucked at caring for all of our hair. My youngest daughter has more hair than me and her sister combined. We’re all natural.
Anyway this video came through in the clutch. Thanks for all you do!
God sent me to this channel I know this video is old now but I needed this and all the knowledge! I can’t afford to get my hair done & I’ve always wanted to learn to do my OWN hair ❣️
Thank you 😊 I know my comments late ⏰ but I’m currently in school and they teach how to blow dry fine hair but not natural more coily hair so this was definitely helpful and keep doing what you’re doing.
Anyone else played the Cynthia sound effect every time he said hydrogen bonds... Just me o ok lol
Thank you sooo much for this video so informative and there is definitely a difference between a paddle brush and the comb nozzle. I tend to use the comb nozzle when my hand starts to get tired because it is faster but it does not give you the smoothness I desire.
Love your demonstration of the use of the paddle brush with the dryer and the comb attachment.
I agree! Even when I brow dry my hair at home I do not like the comb attachment. The tension method is the best. It's even more efficient when you pull the hair taught with your hand and waver the blow-dryer from the roots to tips. I also use the tangle teezer blow-dryer brush. Grant it, I have a Revair so I don't have to go through this hassle no more.
This has helped me so much. I never thought to using water &/or a liquid leave in to help better the process
Narada's TLC to natural hair....priceless.
I live in Florida but will travel to GA for a yearly blow out and trim.
Wooow I learned a lot. I like how you broke down why you don’t prefer the comb attachment, great work
I really needed this. I have a granddaughter with mixed, extremely thick, and long hair and have been using the comb attachment method but will try the paddle brush method.
I use the comb attachment and using a titanium blowdryer is what works best for me. Less passes and the heat is evenly distributed through the hair.
Yeah, that comb attachment I had to stop using for the reasons you said; it really just takes through, and I had to do too many passes. Once I started using a brush, I was like yeah, this is MUCH better.
Thank you for this video I just recently had a customer with 4C hair Im a novice braider just started taking my braiding serious this year and he basically said I didn’t know enough about his hair texture so he found someone else and then this video popped up on my feed at the right moment
Come attachment is the best thing for my hair. Gets it the straightest.
Do you straighten your hair often?
I appreciate this sooo much being a potential stylist on natural Hair, I am grateful for this video ❤
Porosity helps understand how your hair absorbs water. You can spritz water but with low porosity you need heat to open up the cuticles to take it in otherwise it just sits on top of your hair....still remaining dry. It changed the quality of my deep conditioning & oil treatments knowing I need to be under a dryer for longer for all that goodness to get in
No that's actually not true. You don't need heat to absorb water. That's like saying your hair can't get wet without heat. Porosity as everyone knows it on RUclips has been completely misconstrued.
I don't own a paddle brush but I think my detangling brush will still work, I just have to work in smaller sections. But I absolutely love this technique. I also don't own heat protectant so I'll still have to maintain tension method with the dryer a couple inches for my hair. Currently in a protective style (mini braids) but once I take them down I intend on doing another blowout (did one before protective styling). I feel like I need to have my hair completely stretched out more but I need a fail safe way. I only ever either use threading or tension method. I'll be trying some techniques from this tutorial next time around 🙌🏾
Omg just watching you take care of her hair with so much love and attention makes me happy. I with we had stylist like you in south Africa!
Thank you! I hope to visit there and do natural hair there someday
@@AfrikanHairGod Lovely!!! a Masterclass for/with the hair stylist could be a good idea too.😇
Whew! That is a nice blow out! Can’t believe it only took 30 minutes!
Narada you look like you’re so gentle and tedious. I love it! 💛💛💛
Thank you! I really try to be gentle
My childs hair isn't as long as hers and it takes a minimum of 1hour
The one thing knowing my porosity helped me with is conditioning and moisturizing my hair. Because it’s low porosity I need to apply heat to open my hair shaft when conditioning. Also my hair can absorb lighter products better.
This came at the perfect time! Thanks again for the great tips and knowledge
Thank you so much for clarifying the necessity of cleaned conditioned hair first, especially the less is more part. I thought of hair grease, hot comb from back in the day. 🤦🏾♀️ Thank you!
Thanks! This was so helpful! My hair is not as long but it dries fast, and is resistant. You showed me many tips!
Thank you so much!
I use the the Revlon round brush dryer because of my disabilities.
Thank you for this video! I just tried my first blow out on my 4c hair with a paddle brush and I must say I "HAD" decent results except for my ends. They were very ragged and still had tight coils at the ends. Is that because I need a trim or because I have never used heat on my hair since I grew it out 5 years ago? I tried lighter products ( a leave in/heat protectant and serum) but the ends began to revert as soon as I was done. So much work but it's longer and since I deal with constant tangling, I'm thinking a blow dry would be quick so I can braid it up and not wait 2 days to dry in large plaits for a heat free stretch. I need professional help!
Very great job blow drying!!❤❤ I only use a blow dryer and heat if attending formal events! But, because I workout often and sweat, I usually just wear my hair in braids, twist, or Rock-A-Afro with a headband!❤❤❤💯💯🥰🥰
The Revlon One Step Paddle Brush dryer get the roots soooo well .
Thank you so much. I’ve been needing to blow dry my natural hair out. This was helpful, I have the exact blow dryer.
Awww .lol.. i loved this video ..i could definitely see the confidence transition from you using the brush to the comb. I started using the comb so i became very proficient in blowdrying, and later bcame used to using the brush.. the brush took me waaay longer to completely dry the hair
I'm so impressed, the first time I've ever subscribed so quickly. I'm learning so much. I have similar thick hair. Thank you.😍😍
I thoroughly enjoy your commentary, you say the things I think when I do my clients hair and that comb attachment UGH. It has its uses but I prefer the paddle brush. This was a great video.
Your videos are always so informative. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
It’s soooo funny I watched this video as I blow dry my hair with a comb attachment 😂. My hair is never smooth like this and I tried the way you do it years ago and got overwhelmed with it all. You make me want to try it again and just be patient with myself. Plus find a really GOOD paddle brush. Do you have some you can recommend?
Check out my shorts on this video here. I also really like the Denman D38 brush for detangling.

@@AfrikanHairGod thank you!
I use the tension method however, when I'm pulling the hair down I dry out to the roots first. So, I'll pull the hair and hit the top of the hair, both, sides and under. Then when I'm done with that I blowdry with the brush from tips to roots. It has worked for me better. I also find that a 9-row brush helps with the tension. Do you have any recommendations on a good paddle brush? the one that I have has bristles that go in every direction and I hate it! Also, If you have recommendations on round brushes I'll take that too! Thanks for the informative video friend!
Just came across your channel and wished you were here in Jacksonville FL to do my natural hair. Love Your styles.
😭😭😭 your method of using the 🪮 attachment… I wish you blew it out in the downwards motion like you did with the brush. I can see why the hair would get tangled faster… However, I do prefer a brush to blow my hair out muchhhh more than the 🪮 attachment because it’s so much smoother for me and I get the roots so much better. I love your method with that brush!!! New subbie here ♥️♥️♥️🥰
With the comb attachment, you really should start from the roots and then work your way down of course, on very detangaled hair
I couldn't it was pulling at her hair. I know how to use it. I don't like it. Her hair was already well detangled
My hair is fine but cottony . I need to get my hair blown out and trimmed 😢it’s been three years. You do such an amazing job ❤
I have a funeral to go to in two days, I usually keep my hair in twist. It’s about past my mid back and I’m gonna try my best with this video 😂 idk how to straighten my hair but I’m doing better at detangling so thank you! It’s a struggle having course hair and truly not having the patience for it, be ready to cry😂
Once you started talking like a cosmetology teacher I followed 😂😂❤️
Awesome job 👏🏾 While watching, I could not help but notice how clean the floor was. I am sorry, I had to mention it.
Oh yes ma'am. We are all about cleanliness and sanitation at our salon. We sweep and clean the floor/station/chair after every client, we only use one value per person and we keep our business clean as possible for our clients.
@@AfrikanHairGod So nice!! And I am sure they appreciate that.😇❤🙌🏽
Im a nurse and have been obsessed with hair videos lately, well after my last silk press damaged my curls. Wat Ive realized is I have to have patience with my black hair... like how you detangle and twist the hair before blow-drying I will implement that on my next wash day . I should have been a hairdresser. Thanks for this video .
My childs hair isn't as long as hers and it takes a minimum of 1 hour to blow dry. Next time I will try the brush method and less product. Thank you!
I did ur sectioning method the hair and it help but i did lost my brush so i did take different brush but u help me alot just i need to get new tools and blowdryer and straightner whn god bless me with the money😊
Her hair is so healthy 😍💕 seeing your technique, my technique isn’t too bad 😮 it’s kinda hard to use a brush on myself though so I rather the attachment but I always do the tension method first.
Try to position the brush and then chase it thru like you do the flat ironing with the comb chase method. That's what I used to do after using the tension method
🥴 Porosity is VERY important. If your hair is porous you need to make sure you’re using low pH products and cationic conditioners to fill and flatten the cuticle after using water of any kind. Which is why things like Porosity corrector and neutralizer can give high porosity hair a lot of added shine and silk.
It's not because you should be using those things ANYWAY so what would be the need for the distinction in this regard?
Oh yeah, I peeped comb attachments back in '08! While I did love my gold n hot blow dryer, I could not mess with the comb attachment. All that damn work🤣 The concentrator is definitely my favorite.
Give thanks for this video Dyson comb attachment for heat distribution and detangle then I follow thru with paddle brush with light oil to seal the cuticle ❤
Porosity is good for conditioning. Ive learn low
Porosity hair needs what for deep conditioning
I love your energy!!!! Be blessed as well Sweetie!!!💗💗💗💗Soft Beautiful Blowout!!
I bought the EZ Detangler dryer. I can blow dry my thick kinky hair within 20 minutes.
Thank you for this video cause I’ve hated blow drying with a comb attach it never smooths the way I want, defo trying this method
You did an amazing job
You gotta brush it with the paddle brush first to stretch it then use the comb attachment but it is definitely awkward
I felt really bad. I work at Supercuts and a client w an even tighter curl pattern than this came in. My blow out came out relatively straight, but still unwanted volume and the roots I couldn’t get to lay :( thanks for the video. I was sad I didn’t know how to do her hair I was sad for the whole rest of the day.
Don't be sad it's a learning experience. As hair stylists we are practitioners in our field and that means that we are always learning with each head of hair we style.
@@AfrikanHairGod thank you that means a lot I’m still new.
I have extreme 4C hair and by extreme I mean my hair tangles so easily and my hair has a cottony texture. I just tried your technique and although it came out better than what I usually do. My hair is still stiff and dull. I am literally giving up and I don’t know what I am doing wrong?!
I washed with Olapex 04 and 05! Then followed with a diluted ACV rinse and then rinsed. I didn’t let my hair get too dry, and then I created sections. I applied my favorite leave-in milk and did the whole blow drying method. It still comes out stiff and my ends look horrible. I can feel myself giving up on 4c hair because I am trying so hard lol!
What exactly is it that you are trying so hard to do? There are many things in your process that I don't really understand that could also be contributing to your blow out. I think something that meant people forget is that the health and condition of your hair is going to really be a determinant factor in the results of your blowout
@@AfrikanHairGod My hair is pretty healthy, I actually just cut it into a bob! It grows steadily, but it’s difficult to manage in between protective styles. I would always love to learn new ways to make it even more healthy, but I am honestly not sure what I haven’t tried yet. My main struggle is stretching my hair. No one really knew how to properly do my hair growing up, so I am starting on a fresh “hair knowledge” slate. I go to my stylist and she always does a great job, but when I replicate her technique at home, I don’t get the same results. I am moving for college soon and I won’t be able to go to my normal stylist and I want to be able to wash and blow dry my own hair 😔
@@svnnahtafireyi maybe your should speak with your stylist since you like her results.
There is a comb attachment that is made by a black man , and I used 30+ years. It worked much quicker than the attachments that come with the dryer plus the hair is smooth when finished, and you don't need to use no more than one glide through with the flatiron. No heat damage, at all.
May I know what the comb attachment is called?
What is the name of it? Please share.
@@snshnwht I believe it is the Willie Morrow blowdry comb. You have to screw it on, if I remember correctly.
Thank you for responding. Yes you are right. But it also means stiffness, soreness, flaw, eccentricity. To me, this word goes way back. AfricanHair, Afro or natural is better. I guess it's up to individual.
You are choosing to use a negative connotation to a word that's not even referencing it. I am basing my terminology based on technical and scientifically accepted jargon so that means my reference and your interpretation may not align because you are not within my field of study. African hair, afro hair, and natural hair are not better terms for me to use because they are extremely general and broad. When i need to specify a specific characteristic of natural hair, I'm going to use terminology that reflects that so that i can speak with clarity and specific intent.
I have higher porosity and I have highly dense hair lol - thus I agree with you it’s so hard for my hair to receive the styling product when I’m doing a wash and go. I’m going to lighten my leave in vs add more product. Great advice.
Lol, my boy was real aggy with that comb attachment😅...you know when he started cussin, he was drove...first time watching and I love you already...thanks for making this tutorial fun and informative...thanks for being human!❤
You’ve just made me realise I’ve been blow drying my hair all wrong all these years with that damn comb attachment 😂
Happy I found this video, I was about to buy the ghd Helios and I’ve been debating the comb attachment
Thank you for the detailed explanations.
Thank you for watching!
