🚨NEVER COMB OR BRUSH CURLY HAIR!? Stop the brainwash‼️ Wake up with @IamCynDoll ruclips.net/video/67J0t4eh4bk/видео.html ‼️🚨TWIST ARE NOT PROTECTIVE STYLES‼️Why I can’t STAND TWIST & WASH N GOS‼️PART 2 ruclips.net/video/z78awLK2kDE/видео.html
When I do my mini twists I never them in for months at a time. I keep them in 2-3 weeks at a time. Before I wash my hair, I take my twist out and throughly detangle each twist one by one. I dont care how long it takes. The same way I took my time to put them in is the same way I take my time to take them out. No matting over here, we are NOT doing that. Those games are not to be played lol
2-3 weeks in twists and my hair would be thoroughly matted. I can maybe do 2-3 days. Unless I start it as a braid and twist the ends, then I can get a week.
I put my hair in twist, I wash and condition my hair in twists. I have never had any issues and my hair thrives. I guess it depends on each individual.
Mine has been growing like crazy doing this. I’ve never had them in longer than 2 weeks. I twist because I rarely blow dry or straighten my hair. It’s thriving
Let's not forget. It was stylist that were turning away black women with type 4 hair, and now here you are telling a group of people who had to figure it out for themselves. Sounds about right. 😂
I've been in the salon for many many years black salons hair shows etc as a stylist I have literally never seen a black women 4 hair turned away in a salon and even when I was in mixed salons we the black women were the ones who were Styling our own hair..just never heard of black salons turning down 4 hair that's weird and I'm around loads of stylist coming from a long time licensed Cosmetologist .
Imma keep doing my twist because any style you leave in for more than a month WILL lock your hair up. I've seen it and I've experienced it, so me personally, my scalp can't handle being not washed for 2 weeks and that's when i usually take down my twists anyway 🤷🏿♀️. I agree with you on the wash and go point somwhat but i don't understand how you can say wash n go's are lazy when so many women take hours shingling and defining their hair. If all women were doing was using a bit of gel in their hair and calling it a day, i would agree, but doing styles in general and leaving it in for more than a month is being lazy and will lock your hair up. And I'm not going to use extensions because i don't need tension, i do believe using extensions will result in less matted hair but it will also result in traction alopecia for alot of people. And on top of that people are saying synthetic hair is causing cancer now, true or not, no thank you. I do want to say, you did make a lot of good points though, this is just my stance on the issue
I’m keeping my twists also. I wash my hair and deep condition every two weeks and keep my ends trim. This is the healthiest my hair has been. To each their own. This is a woman who lost all their hair and now have bra strap length and the thickness is incredible compared to when it was thinning and falling out.
This is ridiculous. I do wash and go well wash and blow dry. I washed and blow dried my hair when straight as well. I don't see why we're constantly being told something is wrong with our natural hair.
Love there are hundreds of styles. What were our grandmothers and mothers doing before those made up 3 made up (hacks)? ruclips.net/user/liveCA1zPz8H2V4?si=uyzXU7iuLnf1xrxm
I ve never had any issues with mini twists, and they have helped me retain length. But I understand if they may be a problem for some people. Hair behaves differently for different people and different textures.
Everything works until it doesn’t. Straighten your hair and look at your ends then have this conversation. Weathering take 6 months to 25 years to show up. You were warned. Long hair doesn’t equal healthy hair.❤️
@IamCynDoll Are you serious?' Everything works until it doesn't'? So it might as well be everything that we do then because, according to you, it all goes down after a while! In that case, warnings are neither here nor there because the outcome is the same anyway.
@@Joan-jr8qsI never thought of it that way, you do make a good point, I guess you can also say that about using heat, no matter how careful and responsible you are. In the end it’s all manipulation of hair one way or another. Even braids with added hair and extensions in general can go in this category, cuz eventually, all that relentless tension in your follicles can also cause traction alopecia in the long run. I think the biggest takeaways I’ve gotten from Cyn’s videos is that too much of anything isn’t really good, leave your hair/scalp as cleans and alone as much as possible, and overall less is more. As Cyn always says “think for yourself” so if something she says doesn’t resonate, stick to what you know best
13:00 Thank You for showing your BEAUTIFUL NATURAL Face, in this Overly (Low Self Esteem) World that Constantly feels UNPRETTY Without (Literally) 6 or More Layers of Makeup.
I remember when we couldn't afford all these products. Mom would wash my hair with johnson and Johnson baby shampoo and use Wella balsam conditioner rinse blow dry a light press a pony tail and my hair was thick and long. But once i got a job and started doing my own hair and buying products everything went down the drain. Literally! 🤦🏽
Okay! For me? I stopped doing a lot of that stuff because my body was reacting. For instance too much water in my ears was causing my ears to create more than usual ear wax. Another thing! I don’t think it’s good for my fingertips to be wet that much for so long, the pruning effect is uncomfortable. I also noticed that my hair pretty much performs the same whether I apply a product or not as long as I brush or comb oil onto the strands (not on my scalp). Just saying I am all for keeping’ it simple
I know a lot of people don't but I take my hair down once a week wash it condition it and redo my twist over I just have made it I have it of doing that and my heels with the grace of God is doing fine
My hair is in mini twist 98% of the time and I absolutely LOOOVE them! I never thought of them as a protective style, I just simply loved the way they look. I install mine on blow dried hair and only use shea butter to twist. I get the occasional knot. I've been natural for ten years and my hair has flourished with my twist. However, I know everyone's situation is different.
Been natural for 12 years. I always wore twist for the purpose of wearing a twist out. I would have them for 2-3 days max , then wear a bomb twist out. I don’t wash my hair in twisty ( who ever came up with that idea dod some nasty work ) hair is actually simple. But all these rules and random people telling you what you can and can’t do makes it super hard. I have unsubscribed from every single natural hair channel. Cleanse /deep condition / moisturize / style and have fun with your hair. It’s okey to try different styles.
Oh my goodness! Is this why I feel bald now? I wore twists for years! (back to back pregnancies, I had no time for my hair and thought that leaving it alone was good for it). I washed my hair with the twists in! Thanks for making an awareness to this! I noticed immediately how not good the twists were for my girls' hair so I never do it for them. Thank you!
When i was 25 (im 35 y/o now), i used to work for a luxury salon. The majority of the stylists were white. I wanted to grow my hair out so bad, and they told me the harsh truth, what i was using, wasn't going to support my desires for long hair. They were very honest and told me that although they could not help me style my hair, they knew what worked to grow hair. So, i took their advice. I left the oils, butters, and heavy products behind, and i became using salon quaitly products only! My hair has grown to lengths i could've never imagined. Every now and then, i would listen to the natural hair community and mannnnn, it got me in trouble each and every single time and the stylists were always so helpful to get my hair back on track. Now? I dont fall for the natural hair community bs. I follow science. I am forever grateful for those women who helped me.
I do wash n go’s, twist, and curly puffs…folks gotta learn that any manipulation and styling requires care. Shampoo/ clarify your hair regularly, deep condition and moisturize and seal those ends and you’ll be fine….been natural going on 6 years and zero hair issues
Great info. But I can’t help but think this is taking us back to the time when we felt we had to rely on paying to go to hair salons. What should we do?
You said it perfectly; it was never about helping black women learn their hair! 😮💨 Plus if we were the priority then why were we LAST on that chart! It’s marketing, let’s keep it real with ourselves. When they discovered black women were the opportunity, they took off with products.
I’m in habit of taking my twist and re twisting almost every night, that’s the key if you just have to do the 2 strand twist. You have to put the work in but when I take them out every night they come apart like a very tender piece of meat 😂 but you have to commit! Or your hair will mat and break, just like Cyn says ❤
I got my head pressed by a hot comb growing up. No breakage. Got braids growing up, wash etc... never have been made for black women. Natural hair is the hair on your head coming out your scalp. Regardless of what you do to it. I don't claim all the 1234abc
I am guilty of wash and goes for years and my hair didn't grow. I never thought a beautician messed up my hair with a terrible hair cut. Its was so bad that I had to let it grow for a year and get four corrective cuts before I stopped doing the wash and goes.
I am so confused because there are people with long hair that have been doing 2 strand twists and they are fine. I am a new natural and I am getting confused every time because everybody is contradicting each other. I think I should just leave this whole natural thing because WOW 🙌
Girl do what works best for you, it’s always gonna be a new video saying don’t do this or that. Everyone I know has long thick hair from two strand twists. Please stop watching everyone videos because then you would be looking for a reason to not do your own hair. I didn’t watch it just came to the comments cause I know they grow.
I only came to this channel for the comments. I have always wore two strands twists for years now and no problem. I pre- poo and detangle before shampooing. Fingers first then I use a comb starting from bottom working my way up. After shampooing I always deep condition. Then use a leave in conditioner and seal with an oil. Keep my twists in until the end of the week then wear it in a twist out. Grew my hair back like this. And also ends are trimmed for any split ends.
I’ve been doing wash & gos and twist for a year and a half after a big chop and it is not thriving. Obviously, I need to stop. I’m so lost and over it. I used to get my hair done regularly but it’s too expensive these days. Then they gate keep the knowledge and make you pay hundreds of dollars for education/consultations. So here I am on RUclips. I’m sick of it but thankful for channels like yours. ❤
❤️❤️Thanks so much for sharing, your transparency is so appreciated . Remember an education is rather expensive so educational information wont be free or cheap. Take your time and study the human body. I only give the basics here on my channel as well. Unlearning team natural brainwash takes time. ❤️
I "twist" my hair weekly to biweekly on regular blown out hair. Just 8 of them though. I don't add any extra water based products, my hair stays moisturized from wash day till the next time I wash it. I also retwist if I feel like it. This is the best way to twist the hair in my opinion. The twists are loose enough to unravel on their own so locking could never occur. I don't consider them a protective style it's just a style to me. Thanks for spreading this info, because it's too much misinformation out there.
Everything works until it doesn’t. Weathering takes 6 months to 25 years to show up. There are so many things you can do to your hair that don’t involve twist. Thanks for sharing and watching.
I will say my babies are black with a white daddy and my daughter has fine and really loose curly texture…even with her hair I prefer to blow dry it. Her hair STILL gets tangled very easily and thrives being blown out.
Hmmm , I wore twists not twist out couldn’t cope with that … however my hair thinned especially at the crown and no I wasn’t a products junkie , didn’t have the time , money or inclination. On Saturday someone I know has locks , which due to thinning looks like twists they are SOOOOO thin. Casting my mind back to say six years her hair had more body now it looks like spaghetti as it’s dyed blonde. So you are right , washing , leaving dry , twisting ect just beaks down the hair shaft. Let the naysayer scoff , the proof as they say is in the results. I for one is here to prove you correct .

Hi Cyn. Is it okay to straighten your hair every wash day? I wash my hair every 5 days. *I only straighten the roots* because they're very coarse and dense. I use 356°F.
Hey, girl I’ve been following your channel for a while now and I truly appreciate your content. I have type 3 low porosity hair. What are some protective styles you recommend?
When I originally learned about protective styles and low manipulations, what they said was that twist and braids were low manipulation hair hairstyles. Unless they’re being held up in an updo, braids and twists, always brush past your shoulders cut, and that is not the point of a protective style. A protective style is supposed to keep your hair away from your shoulders and away from your clothes. The benefit of these low Manipulation styles is that they keep your fingers out of your hair so that you’re not over manipulating them and putting too much stress on delicate strands
Thank you for posting this information although your hair type argument is crazy. You confirmed the reason my hair is falling out. I follow the natural hair influencers so I stopped combing my hair, I kept my hair in twist and I used a lot of products. One time I left my hair in twist for more than 3 weeks and it was so matted and so much hair fell out. Now I keep my hair in 16 cornrows and twist the ends for no more than two weeks. I hydrate and moisturize my hair every 3 days. I cowash, wash and deep condition every 2 weeks. I"ll see how it goes and watch your videos.
Ok so when you wash your hair you have to put heat to it or it’s considered a wash and go? What if you did want to wear your hair in its natural state? Now I’m confused
Set your bonds and don’t just leave your hair on your head wet. That’s all I’m saying, there is nothing wrong with blow drying your hair before a style. You have to decide what’s more important, the health of your hair or a hairstyle. Half of the world has curly hair. Why are we the only ones like this lol.
What low manipulation hair styles would you recommend for natural hair that won't damage 4c natural hair. I have high porosity I believe and have thicker haair and the back and thiner hair in the front which is my genetics
How do people not understand that without extension, hair in twists will be rubbing against itself wrapping around itself getting single strand knots etc. Other women even talk about hair weathering from their hair rubbing against their clothes…
Yes to the part about hair rubbing against clothes and causing weathering. The bottom layer of my hair has single strand knots from rubbing up against my clothes and I literally don't know how to fix it 😭
@@IamCynDollI rollerset or flat iron and wear my hair down. It's longish so I can literally feel my shirt grabbing that bottom layer and snapping hairs 😭 Please help. I don't want to wear ponytails just to keep my shirts from snapping the hairs growing in the nape area. That area is always a struggle for me.
@@MzToya84 how good are your rollersets/blow outs coming out? Remember the world has long hair touching their clothes without breakage. Something needs adjusting.
You are correct it's a style for me. .one that I've love since 2006.but I comb my hair out and redo quite often.and the success with growth never fails me.i only use beeswax.only on the hair.
Ok I do agree with a lot of what you’re saying. However I’m one of the ones that bought the $400. Hair dryer and I did it for a reason I have the sliver bird had it for a while used it religiously but my hand use to get very tired when blow drying my hair with the roller brush literally. The RevAir gives my arm a break and I really like how it blow out my hair so I can clip my hair ends. I have coily medium length hair.
Simplicity doesn’t mean it’s better for your hair. Practice brings perfection you can practice on a mannequin with your texture until you know what you’re doing then try it on your hair. Long term you’ll see the effects, thanks for sharing.
I think your hair deserves that. Your hair is made in your gut and manifest through the pore. Taking the time to learn how to care for yourself is self love. Your hair deserves more than a glory hole sis.
What about Knotless braids? What do you think is the best to do when you’re trying to brown your edges and thicken your hair. I’ve been using do grow and it’s growing my edges back.
Hi Cyn! This may have been previously asked on another video, but is it safer to use a foam on wet hair for flat twist and sit under hooded dryer? Not as a protective style, but as a twist out style. My mom used to style my hair this way back in the day. But I’ve been confused about what to do and what not to do for my daughters’ hair. Just want to make the right decision on what’s best for their hair. I normally just wash, condition, leave-in, blow dry and style with Kenra or Olaplex products.
@@IamCynDoll yes! I used to do twist outs regularly on them, but noticed the breakage that you mentioned in your other videos and I immediately stopped. I now just do what I mentioned above as their hair care routine. Was hoping for direction in how to better style their hair afterwards. For the oldest I may press it out with a flat iron occasionally and the youngest I’ll do some ponytails. Looking for other options.
This entire video .facts.i had to learn the hard way in 2009 with 8 months braids.wasnt looking to lock my hair.so I had to cut it.but only the roots were matted and locked
A protective style is one that protects the hair. When your hair is in mini braids what is protecting your hair? Products don’t count. If you add extensions the hair wraps around your real hair protecting it making it a protective style.
So ….is it better to just braid the hair in a few sections like 4-6 as a protective style? Or corn rolls and a variety of methods to make sure you are actually doing your hair often to prevent more breakage from sitting hairstyles that Matt up?
This is exactly what I do but I don't keep a style longer than a week. I braid my own hair, no additions, and spray a light mist moisturizer each morning.
@@Sweety069 Single braids. I have no idea how to do cornrows. I can French braid so I could possibly do that on a smaller scale; I'll have to try that this weekend...
@@IamCynDoll Over time? Shoot, I didn’t wash my hair until 3 days later after swimming (I know that was stupid) and my hair literally looked fried afterwards 😫
Everyone told them the truth but the lies sound better so that’s what everyone followed without any research. Woman have to stop gathering and following the leader like sheep.
@@IamCynDoll yea shouldn’t have been that expensive plus I was influenced so good to believing it was amazing that thing is only good for ppl with wavy hair or loose curls
Yeah it was create by a white man and his wife. They were not thinking of us when they made it only when marketing. ruclips.net/video/T_UAnoURSVA/видео.htmlsi=l1cmcFjYNUhgmXKp
I leave my twists in for 7 days. I take down on Sunday shampoo and deep condition. I moisture and seal then retwist. I'm mid back length all the way around. Then I repeat.
Everything works until it doesn’t. Remember long hair doesn’t equal healthy hair love. Most of my clients thought like you for over 20 years. Then they straighten their hair and see how their hair is really been doing in twist. Have fun but when hair weathering manifests for you please remember you were warned. Thanks for watching!!!!
@@IamCynDoll I understand however I've been natural since 2008 and never straightened my hair. I cut my hair as it grows to maintain a blunt full mid back. Never interested to see my hair straightened like some on RUclips. It's OK but not for me.
It’s not about a style it’s how you do proper maintenance. I service women who think like you 25 years later every single day. I make videos to help you avoid that reality. Long hair doesn’t equal healthy hair. Every client I service thought like you over 20 years ago. Now they see me to reverse the weathering I’m trying to help you avoid. Have fun, remember you were warned! Do your thing!

Now? I dont fall for the natural hair community bs. I follow science. I am forever grateful for those women who helped me.
Omg thank you so much for sharing this‼️
@@IamCynDoll of course! Thank you for continuing to share what actually works and is backed by scientific proof!
It’s my pleasure love!
I do wash n go’s, twist, and curly puffs…folks gotta learn that any manipulation and styling requires care. Shampoo/ clarify your hair regularly, deep condition and moisturize and seal those ends and you’ll be fine….been natural going on 6 years and zero hair issues
It takes 6 months to 25 years to show up. My client are in year 12-25. Remember you were warned but you knew better. Thanks for watching!
Same here
Great info. But I can’t help but think this is taking us back to the time when we felt we had to rely on paying to go to hair salons. What should we do?
You said it perfectly; it was never about helping black women learn their hair! 😮💨 Plus if we were the priority then why were we LAST on that chart! It’s marketing, let’s keep it real with ourselves. When they discovered black women were the opportunity, they took off with products.
Yes‼️ I’m so glad you can see it for yourself. They’ve been playing in yall face for years.
I was in tears and lost after leaving the 30-day hair detox ladies! Bless you❤
I went to his salon years ago. Someone else did my hair but he came in to give her pointers a few times.
I’m in habit of taking my twist and re twisting almost every night, that’s the key if you just have to do the 2 strand twist. You have to put the work in but when I take them out every night they come apart like a very tender piece of meat 😂 but you have to commit! Or your hair will mat and break, just like Cyn says ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️THIS IS ALL IM SAYING!!! It’s not a protective style. Very high maintenance.❤️
I got my head pressed by a hot comb growing up. No breakage. Got braids growing up, wash etc... never have been made for black women. Natural hair is the hair on your head coming out your scalp. Regardless of what you do to it. I don't claim all the 1234abc

I ended up with a permanent bald spot behind hair twist, so nope for me😢 And that was in the early 2000's.

@@IamCynDoll yes indeed
I am guilty of wash and goes for years and my hair didn't grow. I never thought a beautician messed up my hair with a terrible hair cut. Its was so bad that I had to let it grow for a year and get four corrective cuts before I stopped doing the wash and goes.
3 months? 😳 my hair starts to loc in 2 days. The curls and the shrinkage on 4c hair is so real.
FOR REAL. Twist for 3 months ain’t twist, those r locks 😂😭😭
I am so confused because there are people with long hair that have been doing 2 strand twists and they are fine. I am a new natural and I am getting confused every time because everybody is contradicting each other. I think I should just leave this whole natural thing because WOW 🙌
Girl do what works best for you, it’s always gonna be a new video saying don’t do this or that. Everyone I know has long thick hair from two strand twists. Please stop watching everyone videos because then you would be looking for a reason to not do your own hair. I didn’t watch it just came to the comments cause I know they grow.
@@katarak4742exactly
I only came to this channel for the comments. I have always wore two strands twists for years now and no problem. I pre- poo and detangle before shampooing. Fingers first then I use a comb starting from bottom working my way up. After shampooing I always deep condition. Then use a leave in conditioner and seal with an oil. Keep my twists in until the end of the week then wear it in a twist out. Grew my hair back like this. And also ends are trimmed for any split ends.

I’ve been doing wash & gos and twist for a year and a half after a big chop and it is not thriving. Obviously, I need to stop. I’m so lost and over it. I used to get my hair done regularly but it’s too expensive these days. Then they gate keep the knowledge and make you pay hundreds of dollars for education/consultations. So here I am on RUclips. I’m sick of it but thankful for channels like yours. ❤
❤️❤️Thanks so much for sharing, your transparency is so appreciated . Remember an education is rather expensive so educational information wont be free or cheap. Take your time and study the human body. I only give the basics here on my channel as well. Unlearning team natural brainwash takes time. ❤️
I "twist" my hair weekly to biweekly on regular blown out hair. Just 8 of them though. I don't add any extra water based products, my hair stays moisturized from wash day till the next time I wash it. I also retwist if I feel like it.
This is the best way to twist the hair in my opinion. The twists are loose enough to unravel on their own so locking could never occur. I don't consider them a protective style it's just a style to me.
Thanks for spreading this info, because it's too much misinformation out there.
Everything works until it doesn’t. Weathering takes 6 months to 25 years to show up. There are so many things you can do to your hair that don’t involve twist. Thanks for sharing and watching.
I started my microlocs with two strand twists. I noticed budding and matting during the second week of this journey. Cyn is correct yall
👏🏾👏🏾‼️‼️Thank you so much!!!
4:02 as I sit with my twists that has dried out for damn near two weeks because of work 😢 chile I’m sure this video popped up to warn me
Been loc’d goin on 17yrs…definitely started em off with 2-strand twists.
Thank you so much for saying this I appreciate you!
@@IamCynDoll ❤️
Girrrllll 😅 You have me Laughing my A$$ off over here.. Preach!!! I LOVE IT 😅🤣😂😂
Been thinking this. I think looser curls are better for twists.
I will say my babies are black with a white daddy and my daughter has fine and really loose curly texture…even with her hair I prefer to blow dry it. Her hair STILL gets tangled very easily and thrives being blown out.
Hmmm , I wore twists not twist out couldn’t cope with that … however my hair thinned especially at the crown and no I wasn’t a products junkie , didn’t have the time , money or inclination.
On Saturday someone I know has locks , which due to thinning looks like twists they are SOOOOO thin. Casting my mind back to say six years her hair had more body now it looks like spaghetti as it’s dyed blonde.
So you are right , washing , leaving dry , twisting ect just beaks down the hair shaft.
Let the naysayer scoff , the proof as they say is in the results.
I for one is here to prove you correct .
Thanks for hearing me love. It’s so easy to observe when you listen without offense I appreciate you!
Can you do a video on how to care for stretched natural hair with a regular exercise routine? Majority of my sweating happens at my scalp.
5:59 omg I was also considering washing it whilst still twisted 😅 lol I was gonna untwist it wet and comb it out individually to blow dry
Our hair texture is so unique as Black women. What daily styles do you recommend that we can wear , in its natural state?

Hi Cyn. Is it okay to straighten your hair every wash day? I wash my hair every 5 days.
*I only straighten the roots* because they're very coarse and dense. I use 356°F.
Im not cyn but i would say absolutely not. You should do once every 2 weeks at minimum
What do you think of braids using just my own hair? Is that damaging also?
Not as bad as twist as long as you don’t keep them in long.

When I originally learned about protective styles and low manipulations, what they said was that twist and braids were low manipulation hair hairstyles. Unless they’re being held up in an updo, braids and twists, always brush past your shoulders cut, and that is not the point of a protective style. A protective style is supposed to keep your hair away from your shoulders and away from your clothes. The benefit of these low Manipulation styles is that they keep your fingers out of your hair so that you’re not over manipulating them and putting too much stress on delicate strands
A protective style protects the scalp and ends. Twist protect neither the scalp or ends.
Great content, I love combing and brushing my hair daily, my hair thanks me.❤
My favorite part of every day!
I put twist in my sons waist length hair i will never do it again it’s a headache detangling omg it’s a struggle i will stick with plaits
That’s because his hair is locking.❤️
im a lazy low-maintenance natural, any advice on how I can grow my hair with 4c hair and keep being low-maintenance
Check the description box.
TY. Watching now!❤
Makes perfect sense!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this information although your hair type argument is crazy. You confirmed the reason my hair is falling out. I follow the natural hair influencers so I stopped combing my hair, I kept my hair in twist and I used a lot of products. One time I left my hair in twist for more than 3 weeks and it was so matted and so much hair fell out. Now I keep my hair in 16 cornrows and twist the ends for no more than two weeks. I hydrate and moisturize my hair every 3 days. I cowash, wash and deep condition every 2 weeks. I"ll see how it goes and watch your videos.
Try finding an actual style for your hair. We can do more than braids and twist.
I don’t understand this $400 hair blow dryer thing
Thanks for the knowledge. Love you and your sense of humor.
You are so welcome, thanks for watching!
Ok so when you wash your hair you have to put heat to it or it’s considered a wash and go? What if you did want to wear your hair in its natural state? Now I’m confused
Set your bonds and don’t just leave your hair on your head wet. That’s all I’m saying, there is nothing wrong with blow drying your hair before a style. You have to decide what’s more important, the health of your hair or a hairstyle. Half of the world has curly hair. Why are we the only ones like this lol.
We need stylists from the 70s to give tutorials on how they maintained those afros.

Years ago when I had locs I started them with twists. My hair fully locked in 4 months.
Yes exactly! Thanks for sharing!
Your method is smart.detangle dry before you wash❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
How do people not understand that without extension, hair in twists will be rubbing against itself wrapping around itself getting single strand knots etc.
Other women even talk about hair weathering from their hair rubbing against their clothes…
Omg it’s like we’re in the twilight zone.
Yes to the part about hair rubbing against clothes and causing weathering. The bottom layer of my hair has single strand knots from rubbing up against my clothes and I literally don't know how to fix it 😭
How are you wearing your hair?
@@IamCynDollI rollerset or flat iron and wear my hair down. It's longish so I can literally feel my shirt grabbing that bottom layer and snapping hairs 😭 Please help. I don't want to wear ponytails just to keep my shirts from snapping the hairs growing in the nape area. That area is always a struggle for me.
@@MzToya84 how good are your rollersets/blow outs coming out? Remember the world has long hair touching their clothes without breakage. Something needs adjusting.
You are correct it's a style for me. .one that I've love since 2006.but I comb my hair out and redo quite often.and the success with growth never fails me.i only use beeswax.only on the hair.
Everything works until it doesn’t thanks for sharing. Remember length doesn’t equate to health. Thanks for watching!
Ok I do agree with a lot of what you’re saying. However I’m one of the ones that bought the $400. Hair dryer and I did it for a reason I have the sliver bird had it for a while used it religiously but my hand use to get very tired when blow drying my hair with the roller brush literally. The RevAir gives my arm a break and I really like how it blow out my hair so I can clip my hair ends. I have coily medium length hair.
Simplicity doesn’t mean it’s better for your hair. Practice brings perfection you can practice on a mannequin with your texture until you know what you’re doing then try it on your hair. Long term you’ll see the effects, thanks for sharing.
@@IamCynDoll Cyn why are trying to make me work lol. I feel like a child being told to go to the corner lol
I think your hair deserves that. Your hair is made in your gut and manifest through the pore. Taking the time to learn how to care for yourself is self love. Your hair deserves more than a glory hole sis.
@@IamCynDoll facts💯 you’re right
Hi Cyn , thanks for this video and for all you do for us. Please can you make a video on how to remove lice on the hair
Yes coming very soon.
So- following this advice do braids also loc your hair? Shouldnt any style that intertwines like that loc your hair too?
No braids have more tension then twist. You can stick your finger through your twist, you can’t with a braid.
@@IamCynDoll ohhh okok that makes sense. Thanks
What about Knotless braids? What do you think is the best to do when you’re trying to brown your edges and thicken your hair. I’ve been using do grow and it’s growing my edges back.
Hi Cyn!
This may have been previously asked on another video, but is it safer to use a foam on wet hair for flat twist and sit under hooded dryer?
Not as a protective style, but as a twist out style.
My mom used to style my hair this way back in the day. But I’ve been confused about what to do and what not to do for my daughters’ hair.
Just want to make the right decision on what’s best for their hair.
I normally just wash, condition, leave-in, blow dry and style with Kenra or Olaplex products.
When the style is complete can you comb through your hair without breakage?
@@IamCynDoll yes! I used to do twist outs regularly on them, but noticed the breakage that you mentioned in your other videos and I immediately stopped. I now just do what I mentioned above as their hair care routine. Was hoping for direction in how to better style their hair afterwards. For the oldest I may press it out with a flat iron occasionally and the youngest I’ll do some ponytails. Looking for other options.
Hey there! I would eliminate the foam wrap. Blow it out and flat twist it with a light wax or a serum.
@@its_madddyyy thank you!
@@TGiles-mk3js you're welcome!
Hi Cyn, have a 2 year old girl. Do you recommend I blow dry her hair? What protective style should I do for her?
This entire video .facts.i had to learn the hard way in 2009 with 8 months braids.wasnt looking to lock my hair.so I had to cut it.but only the roots were matted and locked

8 months 😂😂
Two strand twists can only really be protective if they are done with proper care on blow-dryed hair or with extensions. 😙
Yes exactly
@@IamCynDoll Right!
This is how I do my two strand twist. On stretched hair, every 10 days.

Pls tell me, if its the same for mini braids or african threading protective styles😭😭😭
By the way I strecht my twist after washing them with african threading
I don’t recommend it but do your thing.
@@IamCynDoll But what kind of hairstyles is protective enough?
A protective style is one that protects the hair. When your hair is in mini braids what is protecting your hair? Products don’t count. If you add extensions the hair wraps around your real hair protecting it making it a protective style.
@@IamCynDoll How about the thread by african threading?

So ….is it better to just braid the hair in a few sections like 4-6 as a protective style? Or corn rolls and a variety of methods to make sure you are actually doing your hair often to prevent more breakage from sitting hairstyles that Matt up?
It’s not a style it’s just putting your hair in 6 braids. What’s protecting your hair?

Is there a good protective style for swimmers?
Something that allows you to shampoo as soon as you’re out of the water. Chlorine will destroy the hairshaft over time.
@@IamCynDoll Over time? Shoot, I didn’t wash my hair until 3 days later after swimming (I know that was stupid) and my hair literally looked fried afterwards 😫

Curl type is absolutely worthless it's all about porosity at the end of the day in my book!
Yes I agree!
I leave my twists in for 7 days. I take down on Sunday shampoo and deep condition. I moisture and seal then retwist. I'm mid back length all the way around. Then I repeat.
Everything works until it doesn’t. Remember long hair doesn’t equal healthy hair love. Most of my clients thought like you for over 20 years. Then they straighten their hair and see how their hair is really been doing in twist. Have fun but when hair weathering manifests for you please remember you were warned. Thanks for watching!!!!
@@IamCynDoll I understand however I've been natural since 2008 and never straightened my hair. I cut my hair as it grows to maintain a blunt full mid back. Never interested to see my hair straightened like some on RUclips. It's OK but not for me.
