Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair.
1:22 That sounds like race science. Black people and white people are biologically the same. So the differences are due to hair care.
No, black people and white people are not biologically the same. Depending on what region of the world your ancestors are from ... your biological make-up differs. For the most part, we metabolize food differently. The structural and chemical makeup of our hair and skin has differences. I could go on and on. And guess what, its okay that we are different. If we were all the same that would be boaring. It’s time we start embrace and appreciating our differences rather than acting like they don’t exist.
@@GreenBeauty How do black people metabolize food diferently to white people and do you have academic evidence of this?
@@liawatson5789 You really should take some time to self reflect on why it bothers you so much that people have REAL differences base on RACE. White supremacy is a system that was bread from a deep inferiority complex. It keeps whites from seeing others as separate UNIQUE full functioning humans. If you were thinking clearly, our physiological, biological and psychological differences won't bother you at all. You will definitely notice them OBJECTIVELY as opposed to SELFISHLY ignoring and denying them. Have you ever heard of "Asian Flush" or "Lactose Intolerance" among Africans/Black People?
I don't mean to be hard on you but, your ignorance is a choice that comes from privilege. 80% of the world's population is non-white AND CLIMBING. It's 2021, time to wake up.

@@GreenBeauty amen!
My shiny lil face needs to stop hogging all the sebum 😒
@CowboyLakersFan 13 😂😂
PinkLemonSocks right! I don’t have to do the sebum test. My hair is dry and itchy, even brittle after a wash (1 or 2 days later).
Dang I'm opposite: ashy face and oily scalp, lol!
CowboyLakersFan 13 well no. My shampoos are moisturizing shampoos. Like cream of nature.
I got a shiny face too! Maybe that's why they say "black don't crack". I recently found out I have relatively oily scalp too via my water wash challenge. Green beauty's regimen has been working beautifully for me this month. I started over again 2 weeks ago and have 50% coverage and my low porosity hair is sooo moisturized and hydrated without using products or oils aside from the natural dye-free, silicone-free rinse out conditioners I'm using on my ends after my water rinsing. I've basically been relying on my rose water or aloe water and sebum. Sebum is the perfect twisting product because it gives shine, hold and reduces shrinkage.
Who else also love it when she says "Fun fact"...lol
misskelly kumah meeee!
misskelly kumah I wish she didn’t say it like that.
@@HM-lw6yl why though?..lol
misskelly kumah it’s almost like she’s trying to hard

This is honestly the best channel on RUclips🤩✨ idk how you don’t have 1M subs😩🙌🏾
Natasha Grace cause people like fake things!
I agree; educational, informative and well-researched; leaves out the hype and sticks to the facts; luv it!!!
Natasha Grace YESSSSSSS! No dancing, seeing the closet, and “silly” faces! They drive me nuts! 🙄 She’s right to the point!
Right. For some odd reason I have just learned more about my natural hair from her better than any natural hair youtuber.
100 percent agree! you tube is mainly click bait, product pushing, focusing on what makes money and people click... this channel is about education which I love🙌🏿
Im caucasian and have had horrible hair loss since i was 14. 27 now, and your video has informed me enough to know I can take charge with this naturally. Thank you so much.
I'm so happy to hear the videos are helpful 😘💚💚
I love how this channel doesn't focus on hair only, but instead incorporates hair knowledge with a holistic approach and shows how our hair is deeply intertwined with so many other factors. THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE CHANNEL
Because doctors don't explain why we have a hormone imbalance, they immediately put girls and young women on birth control. I believe this contributed to my hair issues, among other things. I've been off of birth control now for 3 years and trying to "repair" myself from within. This channel is GOLDEN!
I started water only washing my hair and using my sebum as my main product. I do use an oil to keep my ends moisturized. I've been doing this for 2 years and I am seeing such results. I am loving my hair more and more because of how easy it has become to manage and my routine is so simple, I love it. Thanks for your awesome videos, they are really changing people's lives!!
What about if u have hard water?
@@polyiette1701 I have hard water also and it's just a matter of committing as well as, finding what works for you. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes hard work and dedication. I would say that is the hardest part but it's well worth it once you get there.
@alexboy945 wow, thanks for your reply!
Yes!!! My grandmother always says black don’t crack 😂 Now there is actually scientific reason why. Wait until I show her this. She is going to be happy ✊🏾
You're probably more happier than she would be about this. She knows personally through experience or sight, not because science told her. We need to listen to our elders more.
@@JM-qg9bo yes

Y T she is exceptional!!!!!
Y T Thank you 🙏🏾
If your ends don't have any sebum yet, just take them and rub them on your scalp until the sebum get further down. Things you can put on your hair without stripping the sebum: Aloe vera and okra gel, fermented rice water for protein, mashed bananas for conditioning and softening the hair. Look at RUclipsr "Water only hair wash", that's where I got most of my info.
Interesting.What about flax seed gel?
Flax seed gel is great and wont strip sebum. I find on my hair natural gels just loosens the sebum or thin it out. There is also fenugreek you can make for the hair and scalp that is light feeling but with hold.
@@Brownmahfun ok thank you sis.
Excellent informative video. deserved 5 stars. This is the first time I watch a simple scientific video regarding trichology. well prepared work.
Your hair is flourishing😍
This is my second attempt at water only hair washing. I loved it the first time. Loving it the 2nd time too! I am 4 months in, no product. This is a great & informative video. There is so much more to learn as I am coming across small issues here and there, but I'm elated learning about my hair and it's most natural state. ♡
That was very educational. My daughter watched it with me and learned so much. Keep these videos coming. We're going to change the way we maintain out hair.
My hair began falling out a lot on one side of my hair (stress and scalp issues). Because of this my hair is not as dense as it once was. I’m also noticing that I produce less sebum on the side of my hair that experienced more shedding. I was also diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis which I think developed because I excessively oiled my scalp for a long period of time. Currently healing myself inside and out, scooping and spreading my own sebum and I’m happy to say that for the first time I haven’t needed to oil my scalp and my scalp is not flaky or severely itchy. Thank you for all you do for us natural girls 💕
I think I have that same condition. How many times do you wash your hair a week?
@@deandrarobinson2156 hey I wash once a week some times every two weeks now. I found a curl specialist and I have to say the 3 step (cleans, condition, style) method has helped a lot. My scalp is 10x better and I don’t shed as much
@@brianarue2431 Do you include leave-ins as well? I'm debating on stopping my leave in conditioner. I do the deep conditioning already. What are your steps on wash days?
Another great informative video!
i need to stay on track with my sebum.
And Girl!! that fun fact gave me a heart attack. You did that on purpose!😂
Lol ... maybe 😂
So to be clear, when I scratch my scalp and think my scalp is dirty, it's really sebum? Btw. I do not put conditi ok ner or product on my scalp. If I put anything on it it would be shea butter or oil.
Yes
Hey! I'm white and my hair has always been kinda wavy but over time, the wave has lost it's curve. My hair has started itching a lot and when I'd scratch my head, there'd be a lot of build-up under my nails. I've gotten more dandruff now but I never knew what sebum even what before you educated me! Sometimes, there's been so much build up, that when I scratch it off, it starts bleeding. my face is also prone to breaking out and I'm just so happy you could educate me on this so i can figure out how to cleanse me scalp a bit, as I've even lost quite a bit of hair
1:06
I love being black 😍
Exactly accepting ourselves as I Creator made us.
Seriously, my confidence just went up another notch lol
@@llanneg.v.c545 chillax its literally sebum nobody cares
Because of you and your channel I’m on my way to full sebum coverage! I’m about 30-40% there. I have high density, long thin/fine strand. My sebum is better than literally any hair product in my 13+ years of being natural! I wish more YT has similar regimens but I’m managing okay experimenting my own ❤️
Sebum is the very best product Im finding too. I'm about 50% covered after 2 weeks
Did your ends become more shiny as a result?
I have to use additional oils and creams on my ends bc they are naturally dry, the lower part of my hair needs more than sebum alone. However my hair is very shiny and detangles easily from the scalp to the lower 1/3 bc of the sebum
Nice video 😊 i have high sebum production. I wash my curly hair every 3 days...what really helped me was teatree oil. I always put 3-6 drops in my hands and mix it together with my shampoo. Then I massage the mixture into my scalp for 2 minutes...its important to use a natural shampoo
I've been doing that to my hair without realizing what I'm doing. I'm going to continue to massage my hair & scalp
I am caucasian and always use a wooden brush with wooden bristles to distribute my sebum. I comb my entire hair from nape to front every night and then braid it and go to sleep. Ever since my hair has really gotten healthy and my ends get less brittle in days. Thanks for the video
It takes only two days before I fail the scratch test lol.
It only takes me one day 😫
It takes me about a week
I always put the conditioner on my scalp no wonder why my scalp itch so much. Thank you
Thanks for yet another of your brilliant videos. It's well researched and expertly delivered so that all of us can benefit from the science of looking after our afro hair. I have definitely benefited from dampening my hair and massaging my roots to distribute as much sebum as possible down my hair strands. I now find my hair stays moisturised much longer.
When ever I say something about using your own sebum and not putting all that crap on your scalp, people just think I am crazy. You can use some organic water based things on the scalp and hair and it will not take away your sebum.
Brownmahfun what kinds of water based things? The bottom of my hair doesn’t have any sebum yet and is kind of dry, but I don’t want to accidentally strip the other part of my hair. Thanks!
If your ends don't have any sebum yet, just take them and rub them on your scalp until the sebum get further down. Things you can put on your hair without stripping the sebum: Aloe vera and okra gel, fermented rice water for protein, mashed bananas for conditioning and softening the hair. Look at RUclipsr "Water only hair wash", that's where I got most of my info.
The best natural hair channel hands down🙏🏽 thank you so much for your advices and infromation you gave💕
You are a WEALTH of information!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all of this rich knowledge!! This helps me understand the why's behind my hair, instead of just guessing and compairing strands blindly. That process led to a lot of trial and error and, ultimately, a loss of hard won strands. Thank you. Understanding the science behind our hair is absolute key! Blessings to you!!!
Man, I produce a LOT of sebum but my hair is super dry. I didn't know I produced a lot until recently. I just assumed my scalp was dry because I was always told blacks have dry scalp and need to grease it and since my hair is dry.... I used to still have build up at the roots after washing twice and when I scratched got the white/grey waxy stuff under the nails ALL the time. I thought it was product build up but even when I would just use light oil only as a leave in it was still there.
All of these years I was using moisturizing shampoos and putting deep conditioner on my roots. Now I know I can't do it. I pretty much don't use any white colored shampoos now and avoid my scalp when applying conditioner. I don't see the build up at my roots anymore and when I scratch no white buildup under the nails. I also let my shampoo sit for 2-3 minutes before washing so it can break the excess sebum down properly. I was definitely not using the right products and techniques for a very high sebum producing scalp.
BTW, you look FLY in the thumbnail pic!!
What shampoo do you use?
Same here and it took me decades to find that out. Now that I don't use any oil or conditioner in my hair, I would venture to say it is as soft as my hair was when I was a baby.
@@msfullroller Yep it took me about that long to figure it too. SMH.
@@byoung4eva1 I use this:www.shescentit.com/papaya-scalp-renewing-shampoo/
It's gentle but still effective. I also use her conditioners. MEGA slip and moisture any one you choose.
Commenter Number One why only put conditioner on the ends?
I literally just do the WOM for washing and moisturizing and i promise i NEVER see build up..but then again i dont use any products in my hair beside edge control and thats rarely. And even still then i do not see any build up😍 and my hair has been growing a good inch per month
So i washed my scalp yesterday and I already have some sebum on my scalp
HITsugaya23145 lol, it be like that sometimes
Hi! I am now in my 6th year of not using shampoo in my scalp. My hair is fuller and healthier than when I used shampoos and I will never go back to using shampoo. I'm really glad I found your video and that finally someone else knows that sebum is the natural conditioner. That said, my scalp produces masses amounts of sebum and 3 days after my ACV rinse my long hair is so darn greasy it's disturbing to me. So when I watched your highly educational video and it came to minute 5:00 it made sense. Of course, there's gotta be an imbalance in my hormones. So I am in the process of giving my body a chance to get back to a natural state. No shampoo, no sugars, no carbs (anti-migraine treatments), more fitness for my whole body with rowing indoors and that should help greatly and maybe my hormones will calm down. We'll see! Thank you for making this video, the hormonal imbalance is another key puzzle in my search for a healthy body. Have a really good day! Anna
I would love to explore your plant based diet since moving to Hawaii
Earthly Ram I share some of it on Instagram @GreenBeauty
I love this natural hair channel! It deleted the others and only watch the ones she recommends! Fun Fact!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃
I have tried EVERYTHING under the moon except like dermatologist recommend stuff and nothing worked EXCEPT some plain old yogurt and lemon juice. The combined good bacteria and acid work magic! For me I have buildup after more than 24 hours! ITs ridculous, irritating, annoying, and gross. With yogurt/lemon my scalp lasts until the next wash. I noticed my next wash without the yogurt/lemon the buildup came back.. so rn I'm trying to see if consistent application of lemon/yogurt for a while and then stopping with help me.
i have sebum and my hair starts to smell like 1-3 days after washing.
Same
Same, I wash my hair every 3-4 days depending on the smell and or if my scalp is dry/itchy.
My hair hasn't been smelling from the sebum, not unpleasant anyway. I noticed when I used to use leave-ins and oils though, my scalp would start to smell "off" after several days to a week, signally time to wash. I think products were throwing off my scalp ph. Since I water rinse, massage and stritch my scalp 3-4 times per week and don't add leave-in products besides aloe water or rose water post rinse, when I scoop and spread I don't get that off smell, and my slight dandruff issue has cleared.
Shakeva Harris Your sebum is. It supposed to have a scent unless the pH of your scalp and/or the pH in your body (most likely from sad gut) is off. The scent or lack of scent of your sebum has a direct correlation with the state of your body. Try doing a juice cleanse or any other fast for 4 to 6 days. After that, switch over to a cleaner Not Processed diet.
@@GreenBeauty thank you for the reply.😭 thanks soooo much you are an underrated channel.
Thanks for sharing I now have a better understanding of Sebum 👍
Just stumbled across your channel and subscribed. I found out so much information about my scalp & hair issues. I've been to so many doctors & beauticians over the years and no one explained it as clearly as you did. Thank you soo much.
Thank you so much.i thought my hair was dirty when i saw sebum. you are a life saver!
Just the natural hair channel I was looking for, so informative and scientific I like!
Amazing and informative as always! That's why I love this channel!
My scalp Damn near produces zero sebum. My scalp gets so dry I can't just oil it, I have to spray it with aloe Vera or acv/water mix, let it dry a bit then oil it. I have to moisturize & oil (small amounts) my scalp & hair every day. And scalp massage no more than every 2 days or I get dry flakes & a tight scalp. So annoying. You heavy sebum gals are so lucky.
The Whoever You shouldnt use acv water as a leave in on your scalp... you should use it as a scalp treatment for 15mins and cover it so it can be absorbed then rinse it out
The Whoever you may have an overgrowth of candida which cause itchy scalp or dandruff.. look it up Or check if your cholesterol levels are off... having too much bad cholesterol can stop your body from making oils/sebrum
@@Klovely7 The acv works for me I just make sure it's diluted enough. I don't have any scalp conditions and it's never itchy. Just dry. But I'll check the cholesterol thing out. Thanx.
See if a yogurt scalp treatment or rice water (fermented) scalp treatment might work. It might be a pH issue that can be balanced with those products
@@christinabrown8479 Thanx.
Awesome info! Thanks again for your time, dedication, knowledge and willingness to share. We appreciate you ❤
Yeah I initially thought I had a dry scalp because I’d constantly hear other naturals talk about dry scalp and the need to oil the scalp. Even when I was a girl my mom would oil my scalp and it only lead to flakes. I now know my scalp has a high sebum production I can’t make it past 5-7 days without washing my scalp. By day 5 my scalp starts to itch and it’s ready to be washed. I notice it more when my hair is blown out for the week because I have better acres to my scalp.
I really appreciate this information and LOVE the graphics! Thank you for taking the time to dig deep for the science of it all.
Thank you 😊
@@GreenBeauty every second day my hair gets super oily creating dandruff , how do I get rid of that ?
Your videos are always very helpful especially for a new natural like me, you show the scientific and practical explanations, keep it up🤗
This was the most helpful and informative video I’ve seen in regards to sebum. Thank you so much for all the work that went into this 🙏🏽
That's why black don't crack! Amazing
Please do a video for those of us who do not produce alot of scalp sebum.
I have noticed -.youtubers who have thick hair produce alot of sebum.
Grease is saving my hair and scalp right now. Please stop saying 'us' as not all black people produce a lot
Just a quick question. In your video, you're saying that DHT can help to increase Sebum Production, which is beneficial for the hair. But, there's also information that says that DHT inhibits hair growth, and lots of advertising for DHT blockers. I'm really confused.
Your hair is the perfect combo, thick and long and healthy
The video just focused on people with lots of sebum. What about people who don't have a lot or any? You said to watch out for certain ingredients e.g. petrolatum. That's in hair grease. When I cut out hair grease, my scalp feels dry and flakes. I have no sebum production. If I don't put something on my scalp, it dries out and can hurt. Oils and butters did nothing for me, so what options are there, please?
In some people taking an organic/quality cod liver or fish oil helps promote more sebum.
Heavenseventeen grease emulates our waxy sebum. But the grease might be clogging your pores at this point, preventing sebum from coming out. You might need to clarify you scalp and start to moisturize it with greenhouse effect or daily water washing until your sebum comes in. It needs a moist environment so if your scalp is dry it’s gonna look as if you can’t produce sebum. But your SCALP needs moisture, not oils or butter, it needs water or steam/vapor or humidity to jumpstart sebum production. Hope this helps
Christina Brown, I couldn't agree more.
@@christinabrown8479 Thanks for the support and advice.
The grease definitely isn't clogging my pores, though. Grease molecules are too big to get inside our pores. For years, I used no grease and my scalp was still a dry mess.
I tried daily water washing for a week and my hair was a crunchy mess. No sebum came in. I heard it can take weeks for some people, but I was scared my hair would break off in that time. And my hair can take a day to air dry/two hours to blow dry, so daily washing doesn't work.
I'll try weekly washing and see if that's enough water for my scalp. Thanks!
I went to LA for a week and my sebum sky rocketed. My skin was oily. Even after I washed my face, an hour later it was oily again. My haie was SUPER oily and it sucked cause i was protective styling.
But that doesn't happen much in Chicago, where I live. I don't think I've ever experienced that before.
Ayicia Murray maybe because of the heat/sun exposure? And their air may be drier? That’s interesting. Chi town native 💜
I produce little or no sebum. I have been doing your onion wash which has helped with my scalps dermatitis but still no sebum.
Drinking plenty of water helps too!
EVERBABYGIRL It does, and so does breaking a sweat exercising.
EVERBABYGIRL already do that and barely have any
What else are you using??
Green Beauty's Ph stabilizing spray is good for sebum.
The problem with this is after 3 days I start to itch and get scales. The dermatologist said I have seborrheic dermatitis, which is the over production of sebum but my scalp never feels oily. My forehead will be oily but at the line that my forehead meets my scalp will be dry looking and feeling. To avoid the scales and soreness I wash every 3 days because I don't want to use medicine. Also I've discovered that shampoo with sulfates aggravates my scalp.
I have that same thing. I will have to wash my 2 times a week. I probably will make my days be Monday and Fridays.
Hello! Could you please give your opinion on hair serums?
I love how informative your videos are. My hair isn't the best as it should be but I've been following your suggestions and i hope to get better hair😊
Sebum creates dandruff on scalp , how to get rid of it plz ?
I have watched sooo many of your video tonight. I am white with dirty blonde, thin, sparce hair. In a pony it's as thick as about a dime. I don't use hair care products out side of shampoo that I try to keep on just the first few inches on my scalp and conditioner on the rest but the scalp, amd I don't wash my hair but once a week because my hair HATES being washed. I don't have sebum after 2 weeks 😬 ahhhhh HELP!
Please please please do a video on Seborrheic Dermatitis. My 12 year old daughter severally suffers from this (she is losing her hair because of it) and I am so at loss. Dermatologist are no help.
Apart from changing her diet to a plant based diet (that will help ALOT!) Try switching all the hair products she uses to organic products, the Onion Juice Treatment, and herbal rinses. Avoid putting anything on her scalp other other than DIY plant/herb based treatments, organic shampoos and organic oils (if needed).
Greek yogurt! And have her eat A LOT of it! You can also buy the Candida Freedom probiotic soap w lemon from amazon and use that to wash her scalp, it’s pH balanced. It might help. My doctor thought I had it too, and nothing was working until I started eating a lot of Greek yogurt, lowering my sugar intake, and drinking a lot of water. Greenbeauty May be right, a plant based diet will definitely help but I can’t give up certain meats lol
Not to be that person (lol), but do you mean african-americans specifically, or black people in general? Cos I'm over here in the UK like 'does this not apply to me?' 😅

Totally forgot about this video. I've had dreadlocks for 4 months now, and I've noticed that when I go to wash my hair my scalp is just completely covered in this white, waxy substance which I only recently realized was probably sebum. I used to have dry flaky scalp that looks totally different from what I have right now. I'm wondering if I exacerbated this issue by overwashing my hair the previous year :/
Wow..this is very informative..I did try the scoop n spread test a while back but my scalp was itching like crazy but I didn't stop trying...I made some diy mix consisting of distilled water, glycerin,aloevera gel, peppermint and tea tree oils in a spray bottle and that is what I spray on my roots then scoop n spread then apply my diy Shea butter mix on the rest of the hair.. and I am able to go up to 4 weeks without washing my hair,the itch comes just once in a while..
I'm late but my skin used to be very oily. My forehead and nose were always very oily but now my skin has become very dry. What's the cause and what should I do against it?
I’m getting really frustrated now.... 😠 You posted a video years ago that mentioned in part that low porosity hair needs a liquid leave in with a penetrating oil like coconut oil, and then proceeded to tell us how to moisturise our hair properly. I’ve just spent over an hour trying to find it with no joy 😡, so if you haven’t deleted it, and it’s still here, can you PLEASE let me know which video it’s in. 🙏🏽 Thanks ever so much.
2:56 it's funny how my face stays very oily but the rest of my body not so much (except during summer). I don't have to put much lotion on in the summer.

Whats the difference between product build up and sebum
Product build-up - build-up caused by products you manually put on your hair
Sebum build-up - build-up caused by the natural sebum that comes out of your scalp 💚

Can you please tell me the type of deep conditioner to use I have low porosity hair
My scalp always itchy, dry with dandruff. I oil my scalp every day with a mixture of sweet almond oil, peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil. Even though I oiled my scalp, the next day my scalp looks as if I NEVER oiled it with dry flakes falling everywhere and itching so bad. I only wash my hair once or every two months maybe even longer due to a couple of limiting chronic illnesses.
I drink 6-7 bottles of 16 oz water a day, my diet can be better ( I eat very little because of ongoing stomach issues), and I have been taking the depo provera (among other kinds of medications) to treat endometriosis. Could it be possible that I am still producing sebum with a itchy and dandruffy scalp? I bought a anti itch shampoo I think it’s spelled Nioxilin, I bought it from Amazon it’s supposed to be medicated and when I was reading the description it mentioned something about having a dht blocker in it, is that good?
Oh and I do suffer from a VERY oily face, I wipe the oil from my forehead and put it on my lips... no Vaseline needed
Luv how you gently slid nail polish & petroleum in there towards the end. 😉 I've been doing less nail polish for a while now. Yet, the skin on my hands & nail cuticles have always been dry like the desert! They are often painful, crack, and bleed. After trying an assortment of oils, creams & even shea butter, I have had to resort to petroleum jelly to care for them... ugh. I know you are the hair guru 💗... but just wondering if you can share any insights about dry skin & nail cuticles.
Thank you so much for all you do for the hair community.
I have low sebum on my scalp. It's been a week since I wash my hair and there's nothing under my nails. I don't have a product build up issue.
Such a wonderfully informative video, as always. So what is the best way to increase my sebum as I have None; my scalp and hair are always bone dry?
If you don't mind, can you do a video about wild hair growth oil in the future?
But how do you know the difference between sebum and dandruff because I usually have so much build up that it’s flaky and when I went to a dermatologist they said I have seborrheic dermatitis which I’m beginning to think is overkill because I just usually have a build of dandruff and my scalp be dry but I mean it gets worse sometimes but I can’t really tell what to do
I need a video on how u style your hair or do your chunky twist outs...PLEEEEASSSSE!
Go idea 🙂 Here is a link to a video of how I care for my hair in between wash days - ruclips.net/video/KQN3LO_r2Sc/видео.html
I have found that I have very very little sebum...even after weeks of not washing my hair. How can I increase my sebum production?
P Money same! i couldnt even relate to her 1st sebum video because there was none at all!
"Weeks of not washing my hair" that's your problem. If you wash too often you scalp spits sebum out to make up for the dryness (why white folk get oily hair in 2 days. Their scalp is in shock and over producing). If you don't wet your scalp at all your scalp won't produce sebum believing it not necessary as nothing's being cleansed. Atleast rinse your hair weekly. Leaving your hard untouched by water for 2 weeks and not cleansed in weeks is terrible for yours scalps health. Hope this helps😊!
Xidiga... I wash my hair weekly. I only tried the three week stent to try and get sebum production. It doesn’t matter if I wash daily or monthly... I still cannot produce sebum. I’ve increased my water consumption as well as my omega 3 and 6 consumption to no avail. I was hoping Green beauty could perhaps shed some light on the situation. 😊
@@pmoney1129 wash with shampoo weekly or water? If shampoo your scalp maybe too dry or irritated. Maybe your confusing dry sebum with no sebum? When dry the sebum is more dust like than oil. Try oiling your *scalp lightly and see what happens.
In some people taking an organic/quality cod liver or fish oil helps promote more sebum.
And how professionally made these videos are and how much information you get its
Heyyyy! I know this is an old video, but I just came across it. I have lost every ounce of my natural hair sebum & NOTHING penetrates the shaft. Barely even water! My curl pattern has also become wiry & losing its coils, no longer clumping together because of the severe dryness & brittleness. I don’t have sebum to spread it as you suggest in this video, therefore, I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. And I DO NOT use any heating tools on my hair. I only wear it natural & air dry. After a complete hormonal blood panel, my hormones are balanced & I am not yet going through menopause although I am 47. Please help 🙏🏽 I don’t know what to do 😢 My hair which had always grown so much has also completely stopped growing. It’s been the same length for over a year.
Firstly, thank you for all your videos, I have been binge watching them the last few days. Genuine question here. I have heard that high levels of DHT cause hair loss, drinking things like green tea supposedly blocks the receptors of DHT. I have been doing this as my hair is quite thin and I think its getting thinner. How am I to best navigate this toss up between thin hair and trying to stimulate sebum on my scalp as its dry and doesn't really produce any. Thank you 🥰
