🎥 12 Things I STOPPED Doing to My Fine Natural Hair in 2021 👉🏾 ruclips.net/video/-RatDI6zyAI/видео.html
“My hair likes to be left alone.” Believe it or not ladies and gents. Fine natural hair thrives when you LEAVES IT ALONE. Does it mean sacrificing all the intricate styles we love? Yes. Does it mean you’re going to frustrated as heck with your hair? Probably. Will it grow quicker, thicker and healthier? Yes. Eat clean, drink plenty of water and stop extra stilling until you get your desired length. I wish you all the best on your hair journey❤👑
This is solid advice!!! We love to see it!! Thank you for sharing 😍👌🏾🙌🏾
This is great. I saw a short of you brushing your hair and it was literally the first time ive seen someone with my hair. Now I know I have FINE hair. The whole "are my ends split?" thing is my WHOLE life.
After learning to eat right, stopped scratching my scalp so much, being GENTLE with my hair, and moisture, moisture, MOISTURE, my hair has grown longer and appears thicker and healthier. It really helps to know your hair!!
Awesome! I love that you’ve found what works best for you! Sometimes it just takes finding someone who has a similar hair type to use to finally learn exactly what will work best. I love this for you!! 💛💛💛💛
My fine natural hair thrives from wigs (no glue and off daily) 6-8 chunky twists underneath.
Yes!! Same here! It’s amazing what low manipulation styling with great wigs can do! 😍🙌🏾
I usually install two French braids though. 💛💃🏾
Yess
This is definitely me 😊
All wigs look like helmets on me 😢 wish I could wear a wig
I have a lot of breakage, when I do ANYTHING to my hair, so it's so difficult to know what it likes. But ive noticed a lot of growth in braids or in styles. I think my hair wants to be left alone in a protective way
Yes! Same here! Although over time, I’ve managed to find ways to avoid the breakage as much as possible. Low manipulation styles are always going to be KEY for awesome length retention. What types of styles do you like to do the most for length retention?
I have noticed that to, my hair love braids as well. As long as I keep my hands out of my hair it would grow. Also I have had so many different people tell me to use this to use that because they used it on their hair and they hair has grown since they been using that kind of products.
That's so wild that you said that about the braids and twists extensions, my ends does get thinner and I thought maybe it meant time to trim my ends lol but now I know. Definitely wanted to stop wearing wigs because they irritate me sometimes and feel like hats but I am going to try some of these tips! I'm so happy I finally found someone on youtube with thin hair, I kept hitting a wall with thick hair products that NEVER worked on my hair and messed it up
Hey Sunni! Thanks for dropping by and checking out this video!
I'm really glad you found these tried and true hair tips to be useful for your own fine natural hair journey. I personally know just how hard it can be to grow long and strong fine natural hair, which is the reason why I'm so dedicated to helping others achieve their hair goals too! 💛
Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see here on Fine Natural Hair ROCKS and I'd be happy to make that video happen for you! 🤗🙌🏾
Even if my hair doesn’t like braids that’s none of my business lol. I love braids so much so imma just be bald
LOL! I hear you Sis! Box braids are GORGEOUS!!! I really love braids too so they might just be making another appearance on my head even though I fully well know that they're not good for my hair health goals! A GIRL'S GOTTA LIVE TOO RIGHT!? 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂
@Aby N This tickled me, lol. 😂😂😂😂Umm…but I’ll be getting braided up next weekend. It really helped my hair grow.
Love it! I totally agree with your list especially styling /washing hair too often and comparing yourself to other naturals. I committed early on that I wasn't going to try a bunch of styles just for social media or try a bunch of products because that is one of the biggest things that will hold you back.
Hey Beautiful!!! Thank you so much for checking out this video! I really appreciate it!! 💛🤗
Your hair is absolutely GORGEOUS and I believe we have similar hair characteristics as well, so I really appreciate your take on these tips! The styles are so addictive, and the products are absolutely amazing as well - it's crazy how some of us know that these things are not the best for our hair, but some of us still do it because we love the fun of it so much! (I know I'm one of those people 🙈😆)
Thank you girl. Thank you so much for this video🥹🥹
You are so welcome Beautiful! Thanks for watching and here's the latest on "How to Thicken Fine Natural Hair in 2023" if you're interested! ruclips.net/video/3Dy_LC17YSM/видео.html
These are some great tips 🙌🏽✨
Awww thank you so much beautiful!! I’m really happy you enjoyed it 🥰🤗💛
I forgot to say your hair looks amazing! My RevAir is here!
omgeeee, how EXCITING!!! 😍 How do you like it so far? Are you enjoying it? Was it what you imagined? Spill the deeeetz! LOL!!!
P.S. Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Beautiful! These tips are amazing !! I'm the queen of " Hand in hair syndrome", it's gotten so bad. I'm going to implement your tips into my routine. Thank you so much for this ❤
Hey love! You’re so welcome!! I’m really glad to hear that you found these tips to be useful. 🥰💛🤗
I have to say I'm guilty of touching my hair ends (twirling the curls). I'm trying to do better. That's why sometime I wear a buff (bonnet) so it keeps my hands out of my hair. I keep it simple that works for me. Those tips you gave will help anyone for sure.
Ahhh yes! I get this completely! Touching our hair is so difficult to avoid, especially when we’re loving the look! 😆 I love your bonnet idea though; that’s a sure fire way to avoid unnecessary hair handling.
I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the tips though! It’s always my hope that these videos will help someone out. Thanks so much for watching and for always supporting Fine Natural Hair ROCKS! I really appreciate you! 💛🤗
Love this video and I love your energy! New subscriber🎉 I realized that braids were not helping my hair grow a few years ago…they were actually causing my hair to thin. Most AA women think that braids are the answer for hair growth but it’s not the case for everyone. Thanks for the tips!
Hey Maude McCoy! 💛
Thank you for checking out this video! I'm really happy to hear that you loved the video and that you're enjoying the high energy here on Fine Natural Hair ROCKS! 😄💃🏾🙌🏾
It's interesting to hear that you also realized that braids were not helping your hair grow. Similarly, I used to think that it was helpful but it really is not for my fine strands. At this point, I think braids are mainly a beautiful style, but that's about it when it comes to fine natural hair. Interestingly though, I've noticed other naturals say the exact opposite! For example, my best friend has super thick, coily strands, and she's really LOVED the growth and length retention that she enjoys from a good box braid set! Everyone's different though. 😍
Please what do you mean by AA women? Would that be the blood geno type?
@@igbaniliz2878 african-american
If your hair is fine; then I don't know what mine is 😂
Hey Curlfriend! My strands are fine but I've got a lot of them so it gives the illusion of thickness. There are naturals who've also got fine hair but less strands, so that would explain the thinner appearance in comparison to my hair. I hope this helps! 💛
My hair likes to be left alone as well! I am wig girl and I am retaining MAJOR growth!!!
Giiiiiiiiiiirl!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 you and me BOTH! Our fine strands LOVE a good protective wig!! Double points if you don’t need any leave out to keep it looking nice!!!😍😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Wig come off as soon as I step in the house after work!!!
Now you need to let us know what wigs because my head is small and most wigs are too big and fit poorly.
Same here. I'd like to rock my own hair. One day I will, but in the meantime...It's all about putting on a wig.
@@FineNaturalHairROCKSI have fine natural hair too! I have noticed my scalp and hair get very uncomfortable with braids, but I can’t keep a wig on for too long too 😭😭! I always get headaches so I really don’t know what to do😭.
My hair also thrives in the summer as most do, and it started getting longer a few years ago, but I’m not too sure now. It’s been shoulder length for a while now.
Great tips, thank you for sharing, I just started with my natural hair journey.
That’s absolutely amazing! Thank you for being a part of Fine Natural Hair ROCKS! Feel free to let me know if there is anything that you need to help make your natural hair journey smoother and as enjoyable as possible!!!🤗
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS okay thanks 😊
@@myhairjourney6677 you’re very welcome 💛
Your hair looks so pretty!
Thank you so much!!! This one is a protective unit from Fingercomber.com! 😍
This is the page I've been looking for! I have gone natural hair and I've experienced all the stops. Finally came to the conclusion that I am doing too much😊. I'm committed to this channel now. #newsubbie
Welcome to the Curlfriend Crew, L.I.Law! I'm so happy to hear that you found Fine Natural Hair ROCKS! 🤗 Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see.
P.S. I'm curious! I noticed Law in your name, are you also a lawyer? ⚖️
Yess, I have just found my tribe. People think I’m crazy when I say my hair cannot take braids. I had to start learning how to do my hair because stylist would say that not true protective styles are good for your hair.
Hey girl and thank you for the tips. I am 18y now and I definitely understand why I didn’t stand braids at all, they hurt so bad even with the minimal tension ever and I would always lose hair. my edges are gone (from all the unnecessary tension and bad braiders) and my overall thickness has reduced dramatically and this has been a problem for more than 10 years now. I am old enough to do my hair and I have decided to completely prevent people from touching it. I hope to get my childhood density one day
God bless you!
Hi Kaela! Thanks for sharing your hair story with me! You absolutely can grow your hair back to your childhood density, especially with the right techniques and healthy hair habits. I think it’s a wonderful thing that you will no longer have other people doing your hair because now you can control your hair health which will allow you to achieve your hair goals. Are there any videos that you would like to see to further facilitate your hair journey?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS thank you for the reply. I haven’t checked all your content, but I would love to see what you did to retain length. I started keeping my hair stretched throughout the week by doing African threading , although I don’t know yet if it’s the best method . Also, the type of products we have to use on our fine hair, I was thinking about getting a leave in but I don’t know if I should go for creamy/runny
Good day 🙏🏽
Excellent upload
Thanks, Curlfriend! Welcome to the Curlfriend CREW! 💛💛💛
I realised i was washing and deep conditioning too often, so i did my wash day and then greased my hair and im keeping covered for 3 weeks. And hopefully i can improve my hair health. Im happy to see another coily hair person on here that understands how my hair works.
Yes! I get this completely. I’m
Glad you found my channel and I’m grateful that you’re sharing your regimen with us. The fact that you’re keeping your hair covered and untouched for 3 weeks should lead to some nice length retention and improved health. Keep up the awesome work!💛🙌🏾
I find that my fine natural hair thrives when in crochet styles. And since I've added a ACV rinse to my regiment, my scalp is less irritated.
Ohhh, I've heard really amazing things about crochet braids! How long do you usually do your crochet braids and how often do you do your ACV rinses?
I'd also like to know how long you keep in your crochet braids! And also, what styles do you usually do?
How do you incorporate acv in your regimen
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I have done hair also and crochet have been a game changer. Braids on my edges have been a detriment to my hair. Crochet have been my go to. I keep them for 4 to 6 weeks max
@@GegeP1804 This is so awesome! What styles do you like to install the most and how long do you usually keep your crochet braids in for?
Hey. Flat twist is my go to protective style. Once twisted, I only put grease n water to moisture. I have seen length n thickness.
Ohhh, this sounds so beautiful!!! Do you install particular styles with your flat twists, or do you just keep it nice and simple? I need to implement more flat twists into my regimen as well; particularly since my hair seems to love it 😍
I had to subscribe, l saw this video on my page recommended by RUclips ❤ Beautiful video beautiful hair beautiful channel beautiful everything ❤
Hey gorgeous! Thank you so much for checking out my channel and for watching this video! I'm so happy to hear that it showed up on your recommendations page, and also that you enjoyed the video! Welcome to our Curlfriend Crew! Im really happy you're here! 🤗
enjoyed this video! I do some of these things as well on my hair
Yay! Thank you for checking out this video sis! 💛 I find it so interesting to see how different yet similar our natural hair is to each other! 🥰🙌🏾
For Q4, I'm definitely working on greater consistency in all areas of my life, including my hair journey.
I will love to see protective styling your natural hair
Sounds like a plan! I've got a few coming down the pipeline just for you!! 🤗💛
Yeah my hair cannot take braids or anything heavy on it. I notice when I do that I have excessive hair loss. I am in the process of growing mine out, so a wig works best.
Yes!! You got this! I’m sure you’ll start to see more healthy length retention in no time! 👏🏾🙌🏾
the front of my hair is fine and it dislikes extensions so much. I got faux locs and my edges were like no mam lol
Oh nooo, fine edges will definitely rebel against anything heavy. I haven't worn any form of extensions in so long ( possibly the entire year) and my hair has never been this thick in terms of the density. I definitely think I'm onto something with it....
How long did you keep your faux locs in for?
Apply a low-manipulation style and you know... keep it moving! Hahaha 😄😂
Girl that is funny and very true! I don't have fine thin hair, but I do have silver curls and the silver curls need love and care and not too much manipulation also!
Hahaaa! Fine strands and silver curls seem to have a lot in common!! That's so awesome, especially since I've been discovering a few silver strands here and there lately! Your curls are really beautiful by the way! I'm glad that you have a RUclips channel as well because the more the better!! 🤗
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Thank you so much for saying that! I appreciate it! Those silver strands that you're finding are beautiful! They're just as beautiful as the fine strands you have on your head now!
Thanks for the tips Lavinia. Once you reach your natural hair goal length will you begin to wear your hair? And what is your hair growth length goal?
Hi Kearsten, thanks so much for checking out this video. This is a really GREAT question! I currently wear my real hair out on and off in between wigs; however I'm currently trying to find a style that will meet my growth goals as well as aesthetics. I like blow outs however they're not practical for my growth goals on a regular basis. I'm currently considering twists (hanging and flat) however I need to get better with styling them so that the parts are neat and presentable 😅.
My hair length goal is mid-back length (and beyond), so at the moment I'm doing what I need to do to keep my hair as healthy as possible. What styles do you currently wear with your natural hair? Also, are you currently on a length journey as well?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Shoulders (shrinkage state).
@@moniqueloomis9772 sounds beautiful!!!!💛
Hey girl hey!
Hey girl heeeeeey!!! 😍 🤗
Excessive breakage with braids. It took me 17 years to realize that lol I love braids though 😢but even the knotless extension braids are no bueno for me
Yes! It’s such a hard lesson to learn, especially when you love braids so much! I absolutely LOVE a good box braid set or even a beautiful kinky twist set but my hair hates it. Even so, I try to balance these two things with only wearing extensions approximately once per year - sometimes not at all if I’m really on a growth/length retention journey! 😅
Thanks for sharing this list with us! I had a question. Did you notice more breakage when using hair growth oils on your edges or did you notice that the oils weren't really having much of an effect? I was just curious since many naturals teach others to use oils on edges to promote growth. However, I have heard from some naturals that instead of massaging the oil into thin edges (especially if you have fine hair), it helps to gently rub it in.
Hey Ashante,
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts with me on the video. In terms of my edges, I noticed way more breakage when I started using hair growth oils on my edges in addition to the oils not really having much of an effect. Important to note is the fact that I also have extremely sensitive skin which means that I also have an extremely sensitive scalp so adding more products usually tends to cause more issues than it helps...
If you can use growth oils on your edges without scalp/skin irritations, than I would definitely suggest gently rubbing it in as opposed to using heavier tension methods; particularly since this area of the scalp is already so fragile in nature.
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Thanks for sharing such a thorough answer and your experience! I'm glad you found what works for your hair. When it comes to natural hair, sometimes you have to experiment and see what works best because there's no "one size fits all." And yes, I agree that it's best to be gentle on sensitive areas of the scalp.
@@UniquelyAshantesCorner Yes, absolutely! This fine natural hair experience truly is a journey that each of us walks in our own special way. Thanks for watching and for checking back in though! 🤗
I always love connecting and chatting about our fine natural hair experiences because it really does impact so many other areas of our lives whether we want it to, or not. 💛
Wish I’d seen your coupon code first just got Revair. Love it and may use it almost weekly because it’s so convenient- hope I don’t get breakage though. I’m thinking of using henna again - I stopped because my hair has been so soft and moisturized without it
Hey Beauty! No worries at all! The extra 10% off didn’t work for the Black Friday sale at Revair because the Black Friday price was the lowest it will ever go. As for breakage, I tried using it every week as well but it proved to be too much for my fine strands. The sweet spot seems to be every 2-4 weeks. As for henna, I’ve never used it before so I actually don’t know but I’ve heard amazing things about it! What was your experience like with henna in the past?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I love henna! It definitely made my strands feel thicker, it does make the curls a bit looser over time, easier to detangle, reduce breakage. Love it. But I was using it way too frequently- every month and that can be drying. So I’ll use it every three months I think. Glad I didn’t miss out on using the 10% off then 😉
@@eyekandy3000 Niiiice! I need to give henna a try - I've heard so many people who love it so much! And yes! I'm glad you didn't miss out as well! That's truly the worst feeling ever!
Awesome video!!! Thank you. What is the name of the edge control with fenugreek?
Hi Kimberly, the edge control that I use is from NaturallClub and had Flaxseed* in it, not Fenugreek; however they don't seem to carry it anymore. The closest thing that I found on the site is this one right here: naturallclub.com/products/smoothing-edge-control-glaze-acai-flaxseed
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Great. Thank you very much!
These are great tips! What is the name of the edge control you were describing?
Thank you so much for checking out this video! The edge control that I was using is from Naturallclub, but sadly, I think they might’ve stopped using it 😩😩
I use sulfate free shampoo products only on my natural fine hair., and hemp oil & aloe Vera for moisture., however, you are right my fine natural hair do not like braids and chemical… It like to be left alone😊💕. I have locs and my hair loves it. 😊
Hi Serenity Hill! Thanks so much for checking out this video. Your regimen sounds really great with the sulfate free products that you're using on your fine natural hair in addition to the hemp oil and aloe vera for moisture. How long have you had locs for?
I started my locs journey Sense 2019… however, b4 my locs I wore my hair naturally curlout Afro for years and my hair response is different because of the products I’m using. Thanks you for the confirmation that I’m using the correct method and products 😊💕
growth oils had my edges thin for years. When I stopped using them they came back nicely.
Yes! It's crazy how many of us were duped into thinking that growth oils actually work. It's the biggest misconception ever.
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Agreed!
Usefull tips
Glad you liked it!!
Looks like I need to start wear wigs or get about two good ones to retain my fine hair I actually like braids and I am still learning my hair so I can’t really tell if the protective styles are not helping . I always notice my edges seem thinner so I stop using edge control when I get braids.
Hey Beautiful Curlfriend! The wigs have really helped me, but I completely get that your hair likes braids too! Thinning edges happened to me as well when I was braiding my hair around the edges, but they grew right back as soon as I stopped. Have you worn wigs in the past?
Great video, where I can purchase the fenugreek black gel?
Hey Curlfriend! The company that used to sell them has since stopped making the exact formula, but I think you can find a similar formula here: amzn.to/3hmwshG
I love this list! I'm learning too that my fine natural hair just wants to be moisturized, get deep conditioners and treated like a baby lol
Yaaaassss!!! Your hair will THRIVE with this regimen!! Keep up the consistency and you'll see so much beautiful health and length retention before you know it! 😄🙌🏾
Yess my hair doesn’t like weave either . Just figured this out 😢
It's the hardest thing to realize but once you learn your hair's triggers, the rest of your hair journey is smooth sailing!! 💛🙌🏾
You have a new subscriber.
Awww welcome to the Curlfriend Crew, Iris! I’m really happy you decided to join us 💛 there will be a new video out by end of day today 💯🙌🏾
I have noticed my hair doesn't like anything that is heavy and had alot of ingredients in it My hair will break, so I began to use light products in my hair and my hair ❤ it.
Thanks for sharing!! That's awesome that you've been able to figure out exactly what works well for your hair and what does not. Which products do you currently like the most?
So far I have went back ol school, Royal Crown Hair dressing for right now. That's what I love,it's not heavy at all
my edges don’t break off as bad as my kitchen does omg i used to have a bad bald spot in the back so i had to give braids up lol think im gonna just get 2-3 good wigs and keep my hair braided underneath spray with water and oil everyday bc my hair does grow the most when i leave it alone but i love my hair so i love doing different stuff to it but i gotta stop
Haha, I get this completely!! They’ve got a word for it - it’s called “Hand in Hair” syndrome and I have it too!!🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 but all jokes aside, having 2-3 good wigs on deck is fantastic! I’m doing the exact same thing right now and my hair has been growing like wildfire!! I’m super happy about it! 😍
Unfortunately but fortunately I rely on crochet styles because I'm growing out my shaved sides and back and it's at a very short length where I can grab anything but is visibly bushy and the crochet braids allow me to wear a cute style and cover up the short hair. And I have yet to come across any videos on styles you can do when in that phase I am too active for wigs but I do keep my styles in for two weeks at a time with daily moisturization
Hey MsJae! 💛
Crochet braids are a wonderful protective style that I've been intending to incorporate into my fine natural hair regimen more, but I haven't actually gotten around to it. It sounds like the crochet is working really well for you which is awesome, and your hairstyling regiment w/ daily moisturization is on point too! If you keep up this great regimen, your shaved sides/back will grow out in NO time! 😍🙌🏾
In terms of styling, have you tried gelling back the short parts and doing more updos? Can that work at this stage for you?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS yeah but my texture is weird because it's super straight at this length and doesn't want to lay down. I do stick with more natural texture crochet braids. It makes it easier to blend. Trendy tresses free spirited curls is what I'm rocking currently.
I do not wear wigs. What protective style would you suggest since twists and braids are not the way to go for fine natural strands. I do A LOT of wash and gos (every 2 days) which means I am always touching my hair. I’m lost on what to do with styling my hair. Thanks!
Hey Beautiful! Thank you so much for watching this video and for your wonderful question! In terms of your need for a protective style that is outside of twists and braids, I would recommend a twist and curl type of style. Something that would allow your strands to be tucked away without causing damage to your delicate fine natural strands. Have you tried this type of style before 👉🏾bit.ly/3ByHvex
Try a perm rod or flexi rod set
I find that twisting my hair and wearing headwraps are the key to growth!
Absolutely your your talking style impressive
Thank you for watching and supporting Fine Natural Hair ROCKS!
Hello I just stumbled across your video cause at this point I'm feeling hopeless and insecure about my hair. One my hair is turning more and more white and I'm almost 40 but not ready to accept my hair turning that color too my hair not growing and my edges are thin. I have fine hair and I honestly don't know what type it is cause my hair looks nothing like everyone else but I know it's fine and after seeing this video I realized all the braids and twist I love to get in my hair is causing me to lose my hair. I can tell my hair grew everytime it's time to take it out but after detrangling my hair I'm left with a big old ball of hair I just grew and it defeats the purpose. So my question to you is can fine hair people where braids are twist with out going through this cause I wear these styles not only cause I like to but also so I don't have to worry about doing my hair. I don't have time to do all these things people do to they hair and I don't have the patience either so I'm really trying to figure out how can I save my hair cause I'm ready to cut it all off and say f it
Hey Curlfriend! Thanks for your excellent question. First, you are beautiful! You can absolutely where twists and braids, but you just need to be careful how you install those styles, and how you take them down. Always go to a professional and be mindful of how you remove them. Here's a good video showing exactly how I remove my extensions from my fine natural hair. I hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/rmA6MoY8P3U/видео.html

My hair got thick from medium sized box braids but I left my edges put
Wow! This is awesome!! It sounds like box braids work really well for your natural hair, Abby. Definitely keep this up if it's working out well for you!! I love that you were able to find a style that works well for you!!😍 🙌🏾
Hi I enjoy your channel and respect your opinion on afro hair. I recently watched a video by Natural Nadine she states that most African American hair is high porosity by nature, when a lot of us are thinking our hair is low porosity (if it hasn't been relaxed or color treated). She references crime scene investigations where police can determine the race of a suspect based on their hair noting that most African American hair has raised cuticles ( high porsity). Please comment on this and tell me your opinion. Thank You! P.S. - I think this topic would make a great video.
Hi Tracy! Thank you so much for checking out the latest video from Fine Natural Hair ROCKS and for sharing your thoughts with me! I haven't watched any videos by Natural Nadine but I will check them out because what you're saying sounds very interesting! I'm going to do my research and then formulate a nice video with my take on it because at this moment, I'm of the understanding that African American hair can be either low, medium, or high porosity. Thank you again for raising this very important point and please do look out for that video!! 💛🤗
My hair doesn't like braids 😢 and I love them and my hair doesn't grow. I've narrowed down my products to Camille Rose product line, Aphoghee protein line and hot oil treatments
Ohhh, I hear you sis! My hair doesn't like braids either! 😩 And it really sucks because I love the look of braids so much! Camille Rose and Aphogee are fantastic product lines! I can see why you love them so much! As for your hot oil treatments, how often do you do them?
If I don’t wash my hair it gets oily after 2 days and becomes flat! Oil clogs pores and weakens the hair follicles Don’t do manipulation! What to use for maintaining a clean scalp?
Hey Beautiful! This is an awesome question. It is difficult to recommend something without knowing more about your hair characteristics. That being said, what are you currently using? Also, what is your hair type? Do you have looser curls as well?
Can you please share the edge control with fenugreek?
Hey Curlfriend! Unfortunately, I misspoke in this video as the edge control I used is Flaxseed-based and not Fenugreek-based. You can find a similar version to the one I used in this video on NaturallClub.com. I hope that helps!💛
For a hair cleanse do you use ACV & Baking Soda?
Hey Starr Stewart! For a hair cleanse, I typically use anything from the Soultanicals Detox lines..
I do braids or twist as a protective style and have fine hair
Nice! How have they been working for you so far?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS it’s growing like you said when I just leave it alone My hair is fine but it’s thick with low manipulation
Yes. I have been changing my regimen too much. I also only wash once another because I hate seeing the hair in the brush 😒 I am going to twice a month.
Also wearing my hair curly does not work. I lose more hair when detangling..is this Normal? I am going to refrain from flat ironing but just blow out
Hi Renee! Thanks so much for watching this video. Washing your hair more often (at least 2x/month) will help with your hair hydration levels which may also help with hair fall/tangling. It’s normal to lose more hair if you’re washing it less often because we lose approximately 150 hairs per day. All the hair fall gets caught in our curls so it could look like a lot on wash day. Either way, if you really feel like it’s excessive, I would recommend checking in with a healthcare specialist just to be sure there are no underlying conditions.
As for flat ironing, I haven’t done this in years. I would recommend blowing out your hair with as low manipulation as you can, to enjoy straighter tresses. I always recommend the Revair for blowing out fine strands because it offers a nice straightened yet fluffy look without making our fine strands look too flat. I hope this helps 🤗
🤗Thank you for replying. That helps. I will definitely wash 2 times month. 👍
@@reneebrody5877 You're very welcome! I hope you'll find success with this new approach. 🤗
Great video, although it doesn’t apply to me I have curly and wavy hair ugh, plus (don’t come for me curl friends) I shave/cut my edges, left alone I’d probably have sideburns 😂
Blessings to you 💜💚
Hey Gail! Thank you so much for watching this video and for sharing your thoughts with me even though the tips may not necessarily apply to your curly/wavy strands. As for cutting/shaving your edges, I've actually never met a natural who does this before! 😅 Do your edges grow in super quickly? It sounds like they do grow super quickly if you're shaving them 😄🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS yes and they’re unruly and Grey 😂😂😂
@@gailtalley8037 Sounds beautifully you!!! 😍 🤗
What is the edge control you use with fenugreek?
Hey Curlfriend! I actually misspoke in this video as the edge control that I use is a NaturallClub Flaxseed* edge control and not a Fenugreek one. I'm sorry for any confusion that this may have caused.💛
Just purchased a RevAir…a 10% discount code sure would have been nice😢
Hey Curlfriend! No worries at all! The extra 10% off didn’t work for the Black Friday sale at Revair because the Black Friday price was the lowest it will ever go. You're good! 😍🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Hey now! Thanks for sharing that! Good to know!😅
Thank you for your tips!
@@ColdDiva Thanks for watching!
What is the gel with fenugreek that you use? I have fine thin edges too...never wear wigs but I do use light gel on my edges...thanks.
Hey Beautiful! The Fenugreek gel that I use is from NaturallClub and it works like a charm! I believe they recently restocked on it. You can find it here ==> bit.ly/3xElWXy
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I see gel with FLAXSEED...but no fenugreek. Maybe not in stock?🤔..sold out? There is not even a gel with fenugreek....don't want to buy the wrong thing...
@@brownsuga810 I think it might be sold out. Although I did check out my recent batch which is the flaxseed gel and it works just as amazingly as my previous one 😄
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS ok...might try..I do know fenugreek does wonders for hair...thanks!!
@@brownsuga810 Yes, its a fantastic herb! I hope you find success with the black flaxseed gel as well!
What is the name of the edge control with fenugreek?
Hey Beautiful! Unfortunately, the brand does not carry this edge control anymore... I am keeping an eye out to see if it comes back. Would you be interested in learning more about this if it comes back?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Absolutely! Thank You 🙏🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS .
I twist my own hair and just keep it oiled and it’s trying to thicken up
Niiiice! Have you seen some improvements since you started doing this regimen?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS yes a lil. But I would like more improvement
I'm 50 my hair is thin, I wear wigs mostly , because I stop doing braids but seem to won't grow where cowlicks are ashamed to wear braidsso thin lot of breakage on ends
Hi Marian! Thanks for watching Fine Natural Hair ROCKS and checking out this video! I'm sorry to that you're experiencing thinning. What's your haircare regiment typically like?
I wear wigs and keep it braided mostly but it’s brittle , so I try and leave it alone, I sweat a lot in my head, A lot , so growth oil not good because it’s not working
Where did you get your headband from?
Hey G! This is a You Go Natural head wrap but I'm not sure if they've still got the head wrap in their current catalogue. Here are some similar looks here: amzn.to/3GaEy6Z
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Thank you! Any recommendations for something thin and silky like you are wearing in this particular video?
@@Gryn651 Yes! I absolutely love this one from Red Kiss on Amazon. It's silky and should be just as thin as the one I'm wearing in this video 👉🏾amzn.to/3CcpHqa
❤️❤️
Thanks for watching Curlfriend! 💛
How do you know if your hair is fine?
Hi Ayemad, this is a great question that I will make a video about shortly, however to answer your question more directly, you can know that your hair is fine if you can barely (if at all) feel one strand between your fingertips. Another way that you can tell is if you take one strand of your hair and it is barely visible to the naked eye. I hope this helps! 💛
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS That is actually a great explanation. Now that I have tried that, i can conclude that i don;t have fine hair. 🙂
@@ayemad Anytime! 💛🙌🏾
@@ayemad 😂😂
What wig is this please? I need a wig like this
Hey Beautiful! I purchased this one from Fingercomber.com awhile back. It's really full and big but they should still have it. I believe it was called "The Kinky Wave II" unit.
@Fine Natural Hair ROCKS The wig look nice. On their Facebook page a few people stated issues with the company and products. On person ordered and have not received their wig. The company is not responding to her inquires about the order.
@@knoname1092 Oh wow! I heard this was happening in the past but I thought they resolved it... is this a recent issue? When I ordered mine back in 2021, I didn't have any issues but perhaps things have changed for the worse again... :S

Ty now I don’t have to watch the video all the way through bc I’m there already💋❤️💖
Box braids are my ENEMY
YES! Same!!! I love the look so much, but they're so damaging to fine strands.
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I agree and the tension and the build up is very damaging to edges and fine hair. Box braids are why so many women have no edges 🤷🏾♀️ I find that hot oil treatment and deep conditioning with heat and French braiding my hair under a wig works well for my hair
Never just put oil on your hair or scalp always moisturize first with a leave in conditioner. Oil is not a moisturizer but a sealant.
100% !!!! Your comment is nothing but the TRUTH! 😍🙌🏾
Thank you for sharing!
Wash n’ go is a no-no for me. I wear them every blue moon otherwise, I’ll have fairy knots for life…
Hey Black Butterfly! (I LOOOOVE your name btw! 😍). My fine hair is just like yours in the sense that wash n go's really cause more problems than they solve. Apparently it's an issue with moisture that causes those pesky single strand knots. How often do you moisturize and re-moisturize your hair when it's in a wash and go?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I couldn’t tell you, honestly, since I rarely sport a wash-n-go, but as long as I twist my strands and properly apply moisture from root to end on wash day, I can get away with re-moisturizing, once a week.
@@blackbutterfly8338 that’s so awesome!! Sounds like your hair is in a really healthy state. 💛🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Thanks! 🥰 Fingers crossed, it stays that way!🤞🏾
You're hair is thick compared to mines. Mines is extra thin and fine.
Hey Beautiful Curlfriend! What styles do you wear the most with your fine natural hair? Sometimes, the styles we love to wear the most can either help our natural hair journey's or hurt them... 💛
This is so hard to do not touch ur hair so hard
Omgeee, it really is! It's incredible how often we touch our hair if you really pay attention to it throughout the day.. :S lol
Did I miss it because I haven’t seen one thing that you said 120 of the 12 things I just hear you talking about your journey in your new journey that’s it I’m sorry did I miss it?
This video was more about the 12 things that I used to do to my hair, which I've since stopped doing in 2022. I hope this helps. 💛
You are cute decent stylish lady I like you so much please take good care of you
