I'm a big fan of your hair and I hope to get the health and retention you get. Next year, I will be relaxing my hair. I am going to follow your regimen.
I flat iron my hair maybe two months into my journey to "length check" lol. Now that I think about it, that was wayyyyyyyyyyy too soon to see growth. lol But I haven't since early 2011. The lack of direct has thickness my hair so much that people think I don't chemically relax my hair. A huge health improvement.
I love your channel and I just tried the detangling in the shower, with conditioner and under running water and it worked so well for me!!!! Thanks and your hair is beautiful btw.
Pretty Witty, I have tried your regimen and I have discovered that I have been over processing my hair. My hair has responded so well to your "simple sista" routine LOL I look forward to my results. My question is, when do you prepoo? Every other week when you wash? Do you pre-poo on co-wash days?
pre-poo's are done first before you shampoo, that's why it's called pre-poo (pre- shampoo). Co washes (conditioner washes) are done to keep the hair moisturized in between washes.
Can you do a video on How to take care of your new growth? I have some serious issues with matting and Im afraid to try and detangle it because of the breakage. If not a video then suggestions would be great! Thanks:)
I apologize in advance if this question has been asked/answered. Have you ever used direct heat (flat iron) on your hair since you embarked on your journey? If so what was the outcome of the experience? Do you feel that the lack of direct heat on your hair has been and is a major positive factor in the healthiness/length during your journey?
So Thursday you oil your scalp with the oil mixture and do scalp massages , so you don't moisturize & seal that day im a little confused on that part ??
I can't live without a flat iron. I don't know how you do it. And no blow dryer! I need help, lol. I'm trying to do better. One question I do have is, how do you know when you need a protein treatment? What do you think of Aphogee treatments instead of the mayo?
Omg I work 6 days a week too. Idk how u find the time to do it all. Only thing I do is DC or hot oil once a week. I'm tryna get back to moisturizing & seal everyday. I usually have it in a gelled bun so I don't be tryna mess it up to moist/seal lol. Horrible
I have 4b/4c hair so when i try to stretch my relaxers, theres a huge difference. im starting to use very little heat but i want to go completely heat free. HOW? i moisturize, dc, co wash, pre poo, but using heat is what stops me from seeing growth. ive started using u part or 3/4 wigs as a protective style but i use heat on my leave out like twice a week. please give me suggestions. thank you!!
hello witty I am from Ghana ,Africa.....I don't know but I wanna start my hair journey cos I have been cutting my hair so now I have a shoulder level I think and it is veeerrry soft...I mean sooo soft I fear due to much heat..do you mind if you personally take me through the steps of having it full and heavy?.....also about pree poo I make my homemade avocado mask before I wash my hair do you think it helps also?
I have subscribed to your page and I LOVE your hair!!!! I have started my own hair care journey as well. I have heard a lot about this woman Tracy as well but I can't find her youtube page. Can you help me out with that? Thanks!!
U need to know ur hair. I think ur hair is like mine, I found out that detangling in the shower= hair loss for me, then I tried detangling on damp hair and I hardly loose anything. So I spray with warm distilled water + glycerin + olive oil spritz, works wonders, also hand before wide tooth comb detangling
U just have to find your "Go-To" styles that work for YOUR hair. I will say, I don't think using heat on that leave out 2x a week is healthy. It will mostly likely become damaged and/or break.
I have a personal question if u dont mind....ok its funny...ok since i started my hair journey i notice that my shower has drain problems lol.....i pulled an accessive amout of hair out of the drain..lol i guess hhj problems
Hello, please write me back im desperate lol. My hair is relaxed im waiting to get my ends trimmed in about two weeks. My hair is neck length, it was to my shoulders but it broke off my hair grows pretty fast and right now it's uneven very bad ends very thin , but any ways do you twist your hair when you moisturize it at night and then put a scarf on?
Hi! I have relaxed hair and Im struggling to grow it evenly. I cut my hair really short 2 years ago, since then my back and ffront always break off and are short (6inches) approx but the middle is weirdly long (approx 10-14inches). What would be your advice? Please help me fix my hair ;( Plus your hair at the beginning of the video is so thick and awesome!! How do you get your hair like that?! I never know what to do with my hair when the edges start looking fuzzy. What would you recommend? Thanks!!
make sure your ends are not damaged or split... pay close attention to the area that is breaking. It could be tons of things. The type of brush/comb you are using, over processed area, dry hair...
***** Your hair needs protein when your hair stretches and keep stretching until it breaks. This means it is moisture overload. It often looks limp and if you try to do heatless curls, they often come out very loose. This is when you do a protein treatment. When you're protein overload, it is the opposite. Your hair doesn't stretch but instantly breaks off even by the slightest touch of the strand. You deep condition to add moisture back into the hair. Therefore, the necessary treatments done in accordance to how your hair feels results in your hair having a moisture-protein balance.
Great video u do keep it simple sis n that's all you really need some ppl b doin the most n u dnt need tons of products and it just doesn't have to b as complicated as ppl make it seem. Btw I just started my channel and it would mean the world to me if u checked out my vids maybe even sub. Love ur vids. ♥♥♥

Thank you for taking the time to explain your whole process :)
YASSSSSSSSSSS, I use to have that problem until I purchased a hair catcher. Check Walmart or Target or online.

hi. first let me say I absolutely luv ur hair.I would like to know how you do your relaxer?
I have 4b/4c hair so when i try to stretch my relaxers, theres a huge difference. im starting to use very little heat but i want to go completely heat free. HOW? i moisturize, dc, co wash, pre poo, but using heat is what stops me from seeing growth. ive started using u part or 3/4 wigs as a protective style but i use heat on my leave out like twice a week. please give me suggestions. thank you!!

Hi Whitney - I just subscribed to your channel. How often in one week do you cowash when you stretch past your usual 12 weeks?
Can we plz get a detangling video. I tend to lose so much hair when I detangle under the water
I want to! I just have to find a way to prep my camera to get a good view. lol that's the hard part.
prettywitty77 what type of camera do you have. Do you record and take photos on same device?
U need to know ur hair. I think ur hair is like mine, I found out that detangling in the shower= hair loss for me, then I tried detangling on damp hair and I hardly loose anything. So I spray with warm distilled water + glycerin + olive oil spritz, works wonders, also hand before wide tooth comb detangling
ronqie I normally do it damp as well....which is the same result. A lot of fall-out :( ..I did try the glycerin route it made my hair stiff...sigh*
im soooooooooooo jealous of jour hair hahaha i hope my hair will be that long one day
growing n flowing....I love it!
So if u only use the organics mayo once a month..what do u use every other week for your protein conditioner?
Please tell me the difference between co-wash and deep conditioning?
U just have to find your "Go-To" styles that work for YOUR hair. I will say, I don't think using heat on that leave out 2x a week is healthy. It will mostly likely become damaged and/or break.
I have a personal question if u dont mind....ok its funny...ok since i started my hair journey i notice that my shower has drain problems lol.....i pulled an accessive amout of hair out of the drain..lol i guess hhj problems

Have you ever tried the black tea rinse that Traycee from kiss suggested to stop shedding? I'm thinkn about trying it

make sure your ends are not damaged or split... pay close attention to the area that is breaking. It could be tons of things. The type of brush/comb you are using, over processed area, dry hair...
What type of hair do you think is your natural hair? Like 4a 4b 4c ?
Good video. What do you deep condition with?
absolutely ♥ your hair.
How long are you going to stretch for this time?
Just my normal 12 weeks.
Hi when do you clarify?
Where exactly do you get all your oila please tel me
how do you know when your hair need protein? or that the protein overload?
***** Your hair needs protein when your hair stretches and keep stretching until it breaks. This means it is moisture overload. It often looks limp and if you try to do heatless curls, they often come out very loose. This is when you do a protein treatment. When you're protein overload, it is the opposite. Your hair doesn't stretch but instantly breaks off even by the slightest touch of the strand. You deep condition to add moisture back into the hair. Therefore, the necessary treatments done in accordance to how your hair feels results in your hair having a moisture-protein balance.
Which week do you clarify? Did I miss it.
How do you maintain a braidout without combing your hair?
I had that the other day, it was so gross I physically retched :D Better me than my dad though, he would be terrified heheh :)
When do you clarify?
I have a vid I did about a year ago on how I tie my hair at night. check it out for a better visual.
