My length retention principles are: 1. Stop being concerned about retention. 2. Clean my scalp and hair regularly. 3. Condition and detangle with appropriate tools and technique. 4. Wear whatever heatless style you want. Then one day you wake up with hair down your back.
Oooooo, that's my thing. Right now it's experimenting with DIY ..... And it's not going badly at all. Till next week brings along something new I want to do
I remember COVID meant I wasn't getting my regular haircuts and next thing I knew I had hair on my head. I was excited... And then immediately bleached it 😂.
Hi Kayla! Can you discuss winter drier weather products/ ingredients to consider? Everything focuses on humidity. But what about the drier seasons when the hair is loses moisture quickly and humectants add to that. What role does silcone play in this? Avoid humectants and focus on anti humectants? My hair is drying out quickly with the change of seasons and I can’t figure out what to do. Summer I had a great routine. Help! @whatthekink
I may not be the best to help, given that it's humid nearly year round where I currently live. However, I have an older video that talks about Winterizing Your Wash and Go. The tips in this video could still apply to any hairstyle that you want to wear in the winter. Watch it here: ruclips.net/video/5Xu1wk36da0/видео.html
I don’t get it when people say wash & gos are high manipulation. I am following a modified version of the Dickey method, and I style my wash & go at least 4x a week. It takes 15 minutes for me to cowash, detangle, and apply styling product (which is literally conditioner now for me) in the shower. It is the same amount of time if I decide to do it in front of my sink. My hair isn’t difficult to detangle and I don’t lose a lot of hair or experience breakage. If we can’t touch our hair daily without it breaking or not retaining length, then there is a SERIOUS problem. I shampoo and deep condition once a week. My hair is growing like weeds. 😂
I had to scroll back to see who posted this .... I thought I wrote this cos everything you say is exactly like my experience. I could never understand how people are struggling with tangling and I don't. My washday is never a big deal cos I cowash on day 3/4 sometimes sooner and shampoo and DC day 7. I didn't even know about Anthony Dickey till a few months ago. Its what I always did cos it worked since the 80s. Then Natiies were saying plop. So I plopped and the results were nothing like my expectations. Then I went back and worked with sopping hair and cowashing more frequently...... And my curl pattern is restored to what it was like as a baby. So
I had breakthrough when I stopped washing my hair often. As someone with fine hair, wash days are the highest manipulation days and doing that every week did not work for me. And I was on that regimen for at least 2 years. Since it’s been 3 months since my last wash, I’ve retained more length in a short amount of time. Finger detangling has also made a difference too. Great video!
your hair looks amazing and so defined in this video!😮 which products did you use for the wash n go? ive been watching a lot of your videos lately and notice you use the ecoslay jello shot and the fro’zen gels a lot
Thank you and thank goodness for other commenters who asked the same question back when this was posted! I would not have known otherwise. This hair is the same from this video: Block Humidity 🛑 with the ENBBA Naturals Styling Gel ruclips.net/video/b5TTWlLovKk/видео.html
@@WhatTheKinkthank you! i am wearing my hair in twist outs right now but plan to master wash n gos when my hair is longer and healthier! do you prefer to use jello shot or the ENBBA more for how you like your hair to look? i also will try out the kinky curly leave in and custard that i always see you mention!
For me, I noticed that my left side of my hair was shorter than my right side. I think green beauty mentioned that sleeping on one side constantly impact her hair length so I stopped sleeping on my left and now sleep on my right or back if possible for 9 months now and my left side has grown so much! I already wear satin scarfs and pillows so I didn’t think it would work.
For me I realised layers the hairdresser gave me destroyed my length. Layers do not grow my fine strands but weaken it. Hair like rope fibre is stronger at the same length not frayed. A few face framing layers are ok for me.
Conditioner lays the cuticle down after shampoo so it’s definitely a must. Deep conditioning is a treatment and doesn’t need to be done every wash day. The frequency of deep conditioning really depends on the condition of your hair.
My length retention principles are:
1. Stop being concerned about retention.
2. Clean my scalp and hair regularly.
3. Condition and detangle with appropriate tools and technique.
4. Wear whatever heatless style you want.

The BIG facts here. Length retention is a side effect!
Yes 👏🏾
Assuming that is you in your profile pic, you and your hair look amazing! 😍

Kayla you know what I think happens and this has happened to me. My hair gets to a good length and then I start doing something crazy. 😂
I think that’s a lot of folks! 😂
This is meee!! And now I’m breaking that cycle and just going to leave it alone 😂😂

I usually wash my hair twice a week, I only wear wash and goes and I’m retaining length although I’m ready to go shorter. Love ENBBA

I view each of these products as a tool and use them whenever. There isn't one over the other.

Your Hair looks AMAZING!!! Can you share a link the technique you used her and share the styling combo?

Crown and glory method is the GAHL method.
Hi Kayla, what did you use in your hair for this video?
Kinky-Curly Custard and Leave in and ENBBA naturals styling gel
@@WhatTheKink You've turned me on to ENBBA naturals. I just ordered a travel size to try out.
This wash and go is the BOMB ! The shine, movement, the definition.... I ❤
❤❤❤❤
deep conditionner , is it important? or conditionner is necessary?
Conditioner lays the cuticle down after shampoo so it’s definitely a must. Deep conditioning is a treatment and doesn’t need to be done every wash day. The frequency of deep conditioning really depends on the condition of your hair.
oh! ok thank you so much@@WhatTheKink
