Yea! As someone sitting with some damage stretched or dry detangling with AFTER a hot oil treatment works the best. I continually moisturize on stretched hair everyday so it’s not even really dry per say. Using conditioner with bad ends is not the best idea for me. Transitioning gradually ❤️
@rutho.6282 well you are transitioning... Combing your damaged processed hair wet isn't ideal because your hair is chemically broken down... This is why this list is for fully natural individuals
@@AfrikanHairGod I think I used the word transitioning wrong. My hair is fully natural; my ends up to the middle of my length is just extremely thin and the curl pattern is even off. This was due to dryness and breakage which I’ve reversed so the new hair is very thick now. There are no natural hairstylists in my area so I’m just cutting my ends off gradually in big chunks. Do you think there’s a better way to handle the situation?
Yes we have 3 girls and I braid them and myself so ain't no way I'm doing this every week for 3 girls and myself😂😂 I just braided everybody's hair this past week and it's going stay up till Christmas I'll wash it with them braids in there idc idc 🤣🤣
Felt that lmao. My daughter is mix and her father is black. She is a mix of 3C and 4A texture. Shes also a active toddler at age 17 month. I keep her braids in for 3-4 days now a days. Works wonder beside detangle and deep clean only in need after it been in braids. I put indian herb from magic blue between her hair parts as it prone to driness and itch as she got eczma if i dont put needed hair oil nor some type of light grease. She also loves have beads so thats what i also use on her end of her braids these days.
Back in 2005, I grew my hair down to my waist with V05 shampoo and conditioner from Dollar Tree. Yes, the one dollar shampoo and conditioner did wonders for my hair.
*I realise that I have to shampoo at least once a week because I live in an extremely hot and humid industrial city and my kitchen is extremely hot so, by the time I finish cooking (which I do everyday), my scalp is alredy soaked or itchy to the extent that I scratch till it's sore!*
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯Yassss! Rada the Rebel indeed! "THIS"! Cleansing my hair less frequently has helped me retain sooooo much length and less trauma, ie, less detangling= less manipulation. I wash/clarify my hair every 3 to 4 weeks because I use grease (properly), albeit, I don't do much to accumulate sweat or dirt, and I save coins because I only use grease when I wash to seal in moisture. Less is always more. Please, listen to Rada. He's not only a natural hair rebel, he's a Natural hair God. He will save your "edges" ladies!!❤
Even when I was relaxed I never found hot oil treatments beneficial. I feel like this video needs to be pinned somewhere so you can receive less repetitive questions.
Thank you for clearing up that water alone drys out your hair. When i would try to refresh my hair with water I never understood why my hair would dry out so bad. I just need to follow the water with a little bit of oil. I’ve been using this aloe Vera refresher spray and my hair has retained moisture between washes but i get a bit of build up. I cant go longer than 2weeks without washing my hair but i can deal with that! 😊
This is the type of hairstylist that I must have ! I once had someone who took care of my hair but she went back to her country, she grew my hair from neck length to mid back within 3 years and what he's saying was basically her concept !! Now since I've been working with others they've cut my hair so much its barely off my shoulders and I'm done with the YOU NEED A TRIM statements ! So this past year I've been taking care of it myself and see growth again but shoulder pain causes me to want to seek a hair stylist again...I NEED THAT GUY AND I'M GOING TO FIND HIM NOW THAT I SEE HE'S ACTUALLY IN ATLANTA !!!
I am anti-heat styling as well for my hair. Some can pull off amazing styles with heat. However, I am always worried about heat damage and the best way to avoid it is to just leave it alone.
When I tell u I'm watching this through twice or more because some things I was already doing and some things have been a revelation. Hair advice is an actual minefield. Im happy to let porosity go cos absolutely he's right, I don't get, noone gets it 😂
@@emceelioness thank you. It's the Samsung galaxy 24+. I've really being trying to get my skin together these past 4 months. The contact dermatitis has wreaked on my skin. I'm eating better, taking supplements for my health and immune system, working out more consistently and focusing on daily skincare. I'm glad it's all paying off.
Hello Narada, I just wanted you to know I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks to you, I am able to make informed decisions on caring for my natural hair, and I am no longer a confused product Junkie. Number 15 on oils being moisturizers was a game changer for me. 😊
Really good info. Again, I like your approach because you make room for people to do what is needed for their hair. I do like steaming but only once a month under the care of a professional. My hair has done well with the combination of your knowledge, me learning my hair and my stylist who believes in healthy hair.
"BuT yOu ArE BaLd AnD Don'T KnOw WhAt yOu aRe TaLkIng AbOuT" 😵💫🥴 In all seriousness I really appreciate and value your knowledge, your work speaks volumes! ❤
😂😂😂 @ numbers 12 & 14. But hair is no joke and having damaged hair could be depressing. I had my first hair problem in 2014, that im still dealing with. I dont do the extensions of any kind. So, when it happened it was truly humbling Besides as a little girl i didnt use grease or braid my hair. But NOW i like me some hair butter a good 2 braids. By Wetting the hair and braid helped tremendously but that damn hair butter sure helps certainly retain moisturizer.
I’m so glad that someone who is a hair professional license and hair scientist say that hair steaming is bad. I always saw hair steaming as air frying your hair.
@@reginag4246 I do the same. I workout 5 days a week and sweat heavily, so I have to wash my hair at least once a week. It’s all about finding what works best for your hair.
@@rutho.6282 that doesn't make sense... If you want to believe that then that's fine but hot oil treatments haven't been proven to make your hair grow any faster
100% agree with you! I literally tell all my clients these things. Im a braider (not licensed but did go to barber college). I will say for me PERSONALLY (not recommending) I absolutely loved the steamer for my locs and I did with a light application of my oil blend... kind of my make shift hot oil treatment. So I did a double NO 😂 It kept my locs fluffy so i loved it. I did it every other month or 2 (like 4 or 5 times in a year). I dont think anyone should sit under the steamer for longer than 5 mins. Although I use a steamer I DO NOT recommend to any of my clients... its too risky.
Tip 15 blowing my mind. On a similar note, I've been wondering if a leave-in containing oils is enough? Or are added oils to the ends still suggested? When I tried the "no oils no butters" trend a couple of years back to see how my hair would act, I got into the habit of not using oils at all... Now my hair dry asf 😭😭
I don’t know my hair type to this day. I did a hot oil treatment one time and didn’t notice a real difference on wash day so it just seemed like a waste of time
Curious about textured hair in older people... I have caucasian hair, and i noticed when i hit middle age, all of my hair turned a totally different texture, and it wasn't just the gray hair. Apparently this is fairly common to happen with my hair type....Does this same thing happen in highly textured hair?
Can you give your opinion on air drying? I’ve heard a few natural hair influencers say it’s damaging and can cause hydro fatigue if I’m using the term correctly. I am trying to minimize heat and sometimes air dry my braid outs
Hey Narada! Quick question: I just went back to a low cut after growing my hair out and my scalp is having a hell of a time. Since you’re bald-by-choice, did you experience an adjustment period when you shaved your head? Any tips for scalp care? Thanks so much!
I don't really understand why people are against the term protein sensitivity. I'm someone who has confirmed over and over that using even what would be considered minimal protein containing products just once a month is too much for my hair. I'm working out how frequently I need to use the stuff, but I don't think there's a problem with using the term protein sensitive to describe my hair. I said I'm sensitive, not allergic!
What is it that you are using? And what does "too much for my hair" mean? If you really want to break this down I need to understand what you are doing and what's actually happening to your hair. Sometimes what is"perceived" is the result of ignorance of the science and reality of what's actually happening. The issue with protein sensitivity is that it's not recognized in the science of cosmetology. It's conjecture that was created here in the natural hair community. With all the study and understanding of hair, all of a sudden, ONLY Black natural hair is subjected to being sensitive to something that strengthens and fortifies the structure of hair. It logically doesn't make sense unless it's improperly implemented.
@@AfrikanHairGod I used to use the Aphogee 2min reconstructer once a month (which was how often I washed my hair at the time) until I ran out and realised my hair was much more 'manageable' and my ends weren't constantly snapping off. So I switched to just using the aphogee pro vitamin spray but noticed that using that as my main leave in eventually lead to the same brittleness and dryness. I've also trialed the As I Am gro yogurt which looked to me like it contained less proteins overall. However, using that causes this instant crispiness as soon as I apply it to wet hair. I also got the same effect on a separate occasion when I tried a conditioner with more aloe vera in it than water. Currently I'm considering if it's a weight issue but heavy products build up on my hair very quickly, so I'm concerned that heavy proteins would do the same thing. Fwiw, I've started washing my hair every two weeks with sulfate containing shampoos and that also seems to help with making the hair easier to work with. Don't know if that's relevant. Tbh, I'm tired of spending money on products I then have to try to donate to my family, so I'm all ears for ideas. Eta: I should probably specify that I used to blow dry monthly as well, which was why I felt like I needed a protein treatment at all. I do it less often now, but probably still once every other month on average.
@@AfrikanHairGodI had one that I used, but mostly concentrated on my scalp. I was always a but nervous about how dry my hair sometimes felt if I fully shampooed with it. The one I have now is a bit less harsh and I've been using it since I tried out the As i Am gro yogurt. ETA (again) : I was using non-sulfate shampoo on my hair lengths, not just not washing it!
@@TheCrystalChaplin so it's hard to pinpoint your issue to one thing. It sounds like you really didn't have a solid routine or proper cleansing cycle. I also don't recommend people use the 2 min reconstructor unless there's a specific need for it... But again, this goes back to what I said about abusing protein and not understanding it. You can definitely use to much especially if you don't need it and especially if you aren't cleansing properly. The leave in not so much because it's just typical but the conditioning treatment is just that, it's a treatment. It's only applicable in certain circumstances.
My hair and scalp are the true rebels....It agrees with about half of what you said and then it agrees with 25% of what the natural community says and then the other 25% it does whatever the hell it wants. Lol! Now you understand why I, my stylist, my trichologists and my doctor be confused. lol! I understand my hair now that sometimes it's just going to ignore all the care recommendations and just do whatever...I'm autistic and I don't have the spoons to battle my hair and scalp every day. As long as it's not excessively tangled, I got some edges and it's not falling out in giant patches and my scalp isn't inflamed, I'm good. I can wear a natural wig or extensions or hair pieces if I want longer, fuller, looser textured hair. The end. lol!
I live in an arid climate. My hair needs lots of water. I rinse my hair with water and condition at least every other day. My hair thrives on water living in Vegas. I wash. And deep condition once a week.
The girls are shampooing every week?? Hecky nah LOL. My mom did me once a month as a kid. I did bi-weekly for maybe a year but I’m proudly back to once a month, ain’t nobody got time for all that, unnecessary wetness and stuff- wasting water🤣
Where were you when I lived in Atlanta!! It was a while ago tho lol. Just stumbled across your content and loving it!! How do to you feel about Ayurveda herbs! I have been using them for about 3 years and my hair has never been healthier. Keep giving us knowledge about the beauty of our natural hair King 💙💙
So do you typically air dry after styling or hood dry? Also, what do you typically recommend for at home regimen between visits with you if someone can't do all the flat twisting themselves? Tfs🙏.
